CARL DUPREE

Mr.. Carl Dupree died at the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John c. Du-
pree at Reddick last evening. Carl
was 19 years old and numbered his
friends by his acquaintances not only
at Reddick, where he was born and
reared, but all over the county. His
death was caused by blood poison.
Some days ago he spilled quantity
of gasoline into his shoe and thought
nothing of it at the time. 1t however
caused his foot to become irritated,
and later blood poison set in, result
ing in his death.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at Wildwood cemetery.
The family has the deepest sympa-
thy of friends and neighbors in its af-
Fiction.

ell are to each receive the salary of
SIS per month, and that any mem
Der absenting himself from any reg
ular meeting of the city council shall
have the sum of $50 deducted from
such salary, unless he had first Sc
cured the written consent of the
president of the council to be absent.
Our councilmen do a great deal Of
hard work, and it is only common JUS
tice that we pay them. The sum
total viii be $500 year, and deduc-
tions for non-attendance will probably
cut that down to S1400 or $500. A
very small sum of money to pay one
business man, let alone nine.
X.
That only the duly qualified and
registered voters of the said city who
possess real or personal property sub
ject TO taxation by said city to the
amount Of $500 and who have paid the
taxes last due thereon shall be per-
mitted TO vote in any election called
for the purpose of issuing bonds of
the said city.
This is the most necessary amend
ment of the lot, and we do not think
that the legislature can find any ex-
cuse for not granting it. A man who
can't or won't pay $3.50 to 81 year
on the expenses of his home town has
no right to vote in an election that
may saddle s250,000 worth of bonds
on his more energetic neighbors.
XI
That no franchise of any kind shall
| be granted by the city of Ocala, to
any person, firm or corporation, with
| out the consent of majority of tn.
registered voters of the city of Ocala
voting at an election for that purpost
called and that any person, firm o
corporation desiring to secure any
such franchise shall deposit with the
city clerk of the said city at such
| time as shall be fixed by the city
council, a sufficient sum of money, the
| amount thereof to be fixed by the city
| council, sufficient to defray all the ex-
penses of calling and holding such an
election.
This is almost as important as its
precedessor. Many of Americas big
gest cities have suffered severely from
not having such a safeguard against
graft in their charters, many have put
it in and others are following suit. 1t
| is recognized all over the country as
a most necessary provision of muni-
cipal government.
Now, we will make Mr. Camp a
proposition. Let him cut out this ar
ticle, paste it on big sheet of pa
per, go around town, submit it to the
registered voters, who are property
owners, see that each one reads it
and obtain the signatures of 100 who
disapprove of it. If he will do this
we will try to obtain the signatures
of 100 voters of the same class who
will declare that Mr.. Camp has done
perfectly right in trying to nullify
the election of Oct. %, and that he
should be allowed to push the amend
ments he desires to the city charter
thru the legislature without opposi-
ton.
It's Mr.. Camps move.

Mr.. Lucius NJ. Emerson, the blind
Bob Burman of Fruitland Park, was
in the city today, on his way home
from Micanopy. In spite of his blind
ness, Mr.. Emerson is one of the most
daring autoists in the country. He
has a powerful Hudson Six car and
employs a skillful chauffeur, who
knows how to get every inch of speed
out of the machine. 1t is Mr.. Emer-
sons delight to sit back in his car and
feel it travelling with him at mile
minute, which it never fails to do
when the road is good and clear. 1t
was the writer's pleasure to come up

Power Company. 1t is asking the
people of Ocala to give away some
thing that belongs to them, without
obliging anybody to give them any
thing in return.
If it hadn't been that the city char
ter of 1897 stood in the way, this
right and property of the city would
probably have been taken from them
last year and given to the Florida
Power Company. Mr.. Camp wanted
the contract to supply the city with
current, and majority of the council
was willing to give it to him. The
people didn't approve of the attempt
to take their electric business away
from them, as last December's cleo
ton plainly showed.
The second paragraph of Mr..
| Camps amendments says:
| Also for the passage of an act au-
thorizing and requiring the city coun-
! ell of Ocala to submit to the registered
voters of said city, any application
which may be made to said city, or its
council, for a franchise, whenever a
| petition or application, signed by
/ twenty per cent of such registered
voters of the city, shall be presented
to the council, praying that the ques-
tion of granting such franchise shall
be submitted to and passed upon by
| the registered voters of the said city.
This amendment, if passed, would
| give fine opening for gumshoe work
| Almost any prominent citizen car
pick up signatures of 20 per cent OF
/ the registered voters to any paper he
may take around. Some would sign
it without reading it, a good many
without understanding it, and some
for drink. We don't believe Mr.
Camp would buy votes with drinks OF
anything else; but few weeks age
he had circulated a petition which 8
good many people signed just to oblige
him. Some of those who signed it told
representatives of this paper that il
the matter concerned came to a vote
they would vote against it.
Twenty per cent of the voters is
probably enough for such purpose il
they know, and everybody else knows
what they are doing, and if Mr.. Camr
had embodied in the proposed amend
ment that a request for franchise
should not be circulated for signatures
until it had been published in one OF
the city papers for four weeks, il
would not be very Objectionable.
So these are Mr.. Camps two
amendments. One is strictly in his
own interest-the other can be put tc
a bad use by any bunch of corrupt
politicians who may obtain temporary
power.
! The Star does not regard the pros
pect of the Florida Power Company
obtaining the right to supply Ocals
with electric current with any appre
hension. As we have aforesaid, w,
believe If it ever lands such contract
it will carry it out honestly and eff

from Belleview with him one night a
few weeks ago, and except on an ex-
press train he never rode dozen
miles so fast in his life. The gait was
a mile a minute for most of the dis
tance, yet the heavy car travelled far
more smoothly than many lighter
ones at a third the speed. Sometimes
Mr.. Emerson drives the car himself.
How he does it, no once can imagine,
but he does, making out the road
ahead with unerring accuracy; by
means of a sixth sense, perhaps. Mr..
Emerson is a man of the highest in
{ telligence, and does so many things
so well that sometimes it is difficult
to believe he is blind.
