oCALA MEN GIVEN
A DESERVED HONOR
Tampa Times

Tampa Times)
Confederate Veterans of Florida in
executive session today unanimously
honored Gen. Alfred Aver of Ocala by
electing him by reclamation head of
the state organization, as major
general commanding the Florida di-
vision. The scene in the casino when
the name of General Aver was plac-
ed before the veterans was strongly
dramatic, and as the veterans voted
on the motion cheers burst from the
lips of many of the old soldiers, and
spreal until something like the old
time Rebel yell. rolled out the casino
windows.
After taking his place as head of
the veterans, General Aver appointed
Col. F. e. Harris of Ocala as adjutant-
general and chief of staff. The names
CT Miami and Gainesville were placed
before the veterans by proxy as meet
ing places for the next annual state
reunion, but on account of the lack of
representation from both places the
veterans left the decision to the divis-
ion commander, with the understand
ing that other towns which wished to
invite the state reunion would be con-
sidered.
| The veterans endorsed Tampa as
the meeting place for the national re-
union of Confederate Veterans in
1919. Tampa is to receive the active
support of the heads of the veterans
and the camp sover the state, and a
big delegation of veterans will go to
the national reunion in Washington to
| get the reunion for 1919.

SUMTER SHOULD HAVE
IT'S OWN SENATOR

The Bushnell Times very sensibly
says:
do not overlook the constitutional
amendment to be voted on at the gem
eral election which assures each
county state senator. This amend
ment should have the vote of every
man voting. The only possible objec-
tion-if it be an objections that it
would increase the number of senators
somewhat. But even then the body
will not be unreasonably large. 1t
will give to the smaller counties a
fairer representation than they have
had before. Sumter county has been
very fortunate in her alignment with
Marion county in the matter Of state
senator, but it is hardly fair to either
Sumter or Marion. Marion should
have senator of her own, all the
time, yet the big county has been
very fair to us and alternated. So
while we have nothing to complain of
about our treatment by our partner,
still we feel that every county should
be represented by home man all the
time. Vote for the amendment

nor overstepped the bounds of cour-
tesy in criticising him. It has oppos-
ed him, but are we to be told that any
newspaper or any man who opposes
Cats is to be prosecuted?
This cowardice of ours isn't worry
ing anybody but the Metropolis. Ev-
erybody else treats it with the utmost
good humor. It's a rather useful feel
ing. It's not good to be so outrage
|ously brave in places where there is
no special need of it.
And while we are talking about
this bravery business, it seems to US
that we have sometime heard Of 4
gentleman connected with the Metrop-
oils who in his home town, and sur
rounded by his neighbors, sat still
and unresisting under a most forcible
tongue-lashing laid upon him by a
certain public man, who showed the
most unequivocal readiness to back up
his words, if necessary.
We shall not display the spite to-
ward the Metropolis that the Metrop-
oils displays toward the Star. The
Metropolis is good paper in most
things. 1t exposes and rebukes many
evils. We agree with it in many of
the things it says, and most of the
principles it upholds. It shows con-
siderable courage sometimes. We are
sorry to see that it spoils great deal
of the good it might otherwise do by
displaying a peevishness in little
things and bigotry in larger things
that is very inconsistent in the policy
of big paper.
