SYMPATHY FOR POWELL

Ever since that editor in human
form, Joe Reese, proclaimed that Pow
ell was "sad and forlorn," and Bob
Bentley, or some other worthy editor
of the Tampa Times declared that
Powell was sick, the paragraphers
have been simply delighted. One even
went so far as to- say that you could
get enough flowers and make wreath
of Gates Ajar for about thirty cents.
4 Benjamin, of the Ocala Star, says in
his paper:
"Last time we saw him, he looked
not only sad but despairing. 1t was
midnight, all the saloons were shut
and the Star and real estate pro
moter were working on the last pint
he had left"
And Grace A. Townsend, the brill
liant press agent of the Christian En-
deavor Society of the state of Florida
writes personal letter:
"The Tampa Times says Editor
Powell is i'll. Am so sorry"
Here is real sympathy coming from
one of the grandest women of tn
state in juxtaposition to the scandal

FRANK L. MAYES

The entire state will mourn the
death of this brilliant man and broad
minded journalist, who passed away
at his home in Pensacola Monday
morning.
Frank L. Mayes was one of the
most prominent and progressive citiz-
ems of the state. He was born in
Rockford, H., December Is, 1873, and
was son of James O. and Jennie T.
(Johnston) Mayes.
His father was a farmer and Mr..
Mayes' boyhood was spent upon the
farm in Illinois, Iowa and South Da-
kota. When he was thirteen years of
age his father died, leaving a widow
and five children-he being the eldest
without means of support other
than that their South Dakota ranch
yielded. He had to face difficulties
and the next few years were spent in
helping his mother run the farm. He
attended the country school during
the winter. Biography was his fav-
orite reading matter, and he found
profitable a study of the lives of
Moses, julius Caesar, Napoleon, and
the men who made English and Amer
lean history and literature.
A succession of years of drouth and
crop failures decided him against ag-
riculture as his life work. Having
been born with bent for both books
! and business, as we'll as an indomita-
bic perseverance and grit, he deter
mined to go to school, and he entered
South Dakota University at Mitchell
where he studied for three years
earning his livelihood at the same
time. He then taught school for tive
years, and in 1896 he became a re
i porter on the Pensacola Times. Ht
stayeds with the Times eighteer
months and then sought the cold o.
Dakota again, becoming part ownel
of the Mitchell IS. d. Gazette. Il
i 1899 he returned to Pensacola, anc
later became controlling owner of tn
Pensacola Journal.
Mr.. Mayes was president of tn
Journal Company, of the Mayes Print
ing Company, and of the Perdido Lam
, Company. He was also controlling
owner of the Meridian, (Miss.) Dis
I patch. He was president of the Pen
sacola Chamber of Commerce for tn
{ year 1906. He served two years i
the South Dakota National Guard.
Socially, he was member of tn

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR ocALA

The purchase of the Ocala Northern
railway by the Assets Realization
Company may mean much good for
Ocala.
The Ocala Northern has always
been handicapped by lack of means. It
vas built by hardworking man, who
literally had to dig his way from
milepost to milepost. And the people
who should have most vigorously
backed him up-the business men OF
Ocala-did not give the business that
would have made his road pay and
would have helped them
The new owners have ample means
and if they will make a deepwater
connection at Palatka, and the busi-
ness men of Ocala, Palatka and all
the towns between, will back them
vigorously and sustainedly, the Ocala
Northern can be made the most i'm
portant line for its mileage in Florida.
The people of this city and the
other towns concerned can't expect to
sit still and have capitalists spend
money for them. They must take a
share in the hustling themselves.

W. n. coNoLEY

Many people in Ocala were shock
ed and greived to read the following
in the Jacksonville Metropolis, of
Monday afternoon:
"W. N. ConoIey, secretary of the
Jacksonville Board of Trade, died at
the Rogers SanitsTiium in Riverside
shortly after noon today as a result
of bullet wound in the intestines.
The wound was self-inficted, either
while he was suffering from tenn
porary mental alteration brought on
by a serious case of insomnia, for
which he had taken two kinds of medi-
cine, or by accident while he was at
tempting to repel an imaginary bur-
glar."

PIPING INTERESTS
- = -
ARE SELFISH

s'If private shipping interests Of the
United States continue to act unjust
l. toward the shipper, and they have
that power now, we will crush them,
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld told
New Orleans business men at a
luncheon given there Friday under the
auspices of the Association of Com
merca. The Association of Com
nerce was one of the organizations Of
the country that formally protested
against the proposed government ship
purchase bill.
Steamship officials who have con-
versed with me regarding the pro-
posal to place government-owned yes
sells into operation have been told
that government ships never would be
placed in competition with privately
owned vessels if the companies win
deal squarely with the American peo-
ple," Mr.. Redfeld continued.
"Good men and wise have come to
me with the statement that operation
of ships now by the government
would involve US in international diff
culties," said Secretary Redfeld-
''That really is joke. My depart
ment now has offers to purchase ships
that could not get US into trouble. One
of them is a lot of thirty vessels
Furthermore, there is no nation in the
world that would seek a cause for
trouble with US now. We are the only
nation that can furnish supplies I'd
the balance of the world. They need
US and want our friendship"
