But the shells from the Varon and

had no masts for fifteen minutes. and
several salvos ego the Floron had lost

Florida is say democratic state
1t isn't necessary for any Floridian
to rend his undergarments on the
political issues of the day. However,
all democrats should bear two things
in mind-one is that it is necessary
for them to vote, and the other is that
it is their duty to contribute to the
campaign fund. The national demo-
cratic committee has no resources ex-
cept the dimes, quarters and dollars of
the comparatively poor. There is
reason to believe that the republican
captains of finance" who find Mr..
Wilson bar to their exploiting this
country, are contributing to his de-
feat this year as they have never con-
tributed to republican corruption
fund before. Marion county has done
very well, as may be seen by the list
elsewhere, but she can do better. Send
your contribution to L. R. Trammell,
secretary, Ocala. So far as the Star
knows, there is no other precinct COM
mittee in the county, but the Ocala
committee can handle all the funds
that are likely to be contributed. The
campaign is drawing to close, SO re-
member that 1she who gives quickly
gives twice"

PLANT COTTON NEXT YEAR

Every farmer of Marion county who
planted patch of cotton, large or
small, this year, is congratulating
himself and receiving nice wad of
cash for the staple. We heard one
man from Belleview say that his
neighbor, from five acres of cotton,
had received in cash S219 and would
realize at least S25 more. If the far
mers of the county do what they
should, next season, there will be at
least ten times the acreage of cotton
that we had this year. The price of
cotton is not likely to drop very much
for several years.

In going to the fire at Fausett's
mill yesterday afternoon, the auto
fire engine barely missed being hit
by the limited at the Seaboard cross
ing. The limited was running at fiji
teen to twenty miles an hour and it
had no f1agman out, as the manage
ment of the Seaboard promised to do
several months ago. The fire engine
cleared the track by few yards. As
we have said before, the railroad will
not keep it's promises unless compell-
ed to, and unless the council does its
duty and obliges gates to be put in,
there will be a bloody tragedy on that
crossing some day.

That Americans are not free from
the greed that disgraces other and
less enlightened nations is shown in
the milk war caused by the strike
around New York. The lives of hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of babies in
the big city are dependent on this
milk supply. Yet there is an attempt
to establish blockade, just as Brit
ain cuts>off milk from German babies.
Of the two sets of blockaders, the
British have the best excuse.

1t will not be safe for any Florida
democrat to neglect to vote this year.
The indications are that the republi-
cans are going to poll the biggest
vote in many years, and if the demo-
Gratis do not turn out in better force
than they have in some elections they
may wake up next morning to find
themselves defeated.

The contributions to the democratic
campaign fund made to the finance

$3.50, and possibly little more.

As our good old friend, Major L. I.
Izlar, has been somewhat indisposed
the last two or three days, he did not
feel like writing his usual chapter of
"reminiscences" this week. AS these
articles have become a feature of the
paper, and are looked forward to by
its readers wherever it goes, the
majors indisposition will be regretted
not only by his personal friends, but
by many who know him only by his
writings. Major Izlar is better and
able to be out today, and the Star
joins his other friends in hoping he is
in for another long spell of good
health.
