The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-05-29

The correspondence printed else
where, between Postmaster Rogers
and superintendent Parsons, brings
to mind an incident in which Mr..
Parsons and Mr.. Brand behaved in a
very discreditable manner. They came
to Ocala one day last fall and met
with a number of our citizens, and OBJ
tanned from them an expression of
opinion favorable to delaying work on
the union station. 1t was partic-
ularly impressed on the railroad men
by these citizens that they spoke only
as individuals; nevertheless, Messrs.
Brand and Parsons sent a report of
the meeting posthaste to Tallahassee,
representing that a delay had been
advocated by the Board of Trade and
citizens of Ocala in general; and they
by this means obtained the delay they
wanted. According to the ethics
they have manufactured for them
selves, railroad men consider such an
act as not only excusable but praise
worthy, but the same conduct by
ordinary citizens would cause them to
be considered as sharpers if not
downright swindlers. And yet some
how railroad men are always surpris-
ed to find that public sentiment is
generally adverse to them.

plant. It's the Stars opinion, IN
which it knows it is backed by public
sentiment, that any person who tries
to further delay the construction of
the plant will be acting anything but
friendly part TO Ocala. With the
price of material constantly mount
ing, delay will cost much more than
any alterations in machinery can
save. The people have voted money
for the plant and delegated the duty
of carrying out the work to the coun-
Gil. If we have an interruption and a
delay every time the plans displease
some individual, we had better stop
trying to have city and return to
wigwams, surface wells, typhoid
fever, pine knots, candles and buckets.
It might occur to Mr.. Tucker and
some other folks that an ordinary
citizens part in government is ex-
pressing his opinion and casting his
vote. When his opinion doesn't induce
his fellow-citizens to agre with him,
and he tries to tie them up in the
courts, or obtain set of specifica-
tions designed to suit himself from
the legislature, he isn't playing the
game.

The Star has received commune
cation from Professor Barnwell, prin-
cipal of Fessenden Academy, in which
he says the academy has had an UNI
usually hard year and now finds itself
about $500 on the wrong side of the
ledger. Fessenden Academy is an
excellent institution and has probably
been worth tens of thousands of dol
lars to Marion county and many more
to the state at large for the work it
has done for colored youth. The law
prohibits state or county from aiding
such schools, but there should be
enough public-spirited men and wom-
en- in the county to keep it going. The
colored people should aid it to the
extent of their ability and it will be a
good investment for any white person
To contribute.

tracks from the city, | would have
protested and the city could and
would have cooperated with you in
way satisfactory to all concerned
in the location of the passenger sta
ton, but to the contrary, the general
impression here was that the railroad
would treat us fairly and build the
station on the city side of your rail-
road tracks, and not until your CO
tract was let and work began did we
understand to the contrary.

it built on the opposite side of the

you are now building.

were here last week, it would be bet
ter for the railroads, as well as for
the city, for you to move the Sea-

mony of both the railroads and the
city.

1t is understood that at the meeting
of the council tomorrow night drastic
legislation" will be introduced in
order to compel the railroads to
change their proposed location of the
union depot. The Star is not in favor
of drastic legislation" for this pur-
pose. 1t would look too much like
bargain, or spite work in. case the bar
gain fails. Tue railroads have not
treated OcaE.. right, but retaliation
has no place in civil government. The
Star, however, favors the council do
ing everything it can to secure their
rights to the people of this city. Their
safety demands that gates be put up
at the exposed crossings and that the
most used crossings be repaired SO
that autoes and other. vehicles can
cross them without being jolted to
pieces. Reasonable measures should
be passed to prevent crossings being
blocked and the A. c. L. should be
compelled to remove its track scales at
the Gainesville road crossing. 1t
should also be ordered to remove the
extra tracks it has built over Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh streets, and given
notice to, within reasonable time,
straighten its line so as to take its
tracks out of Main street. All these

Shady neighborheod picked up Mr..
Blair. The Shady section is one of
the most fertile in the county and
the crops never looked better. Most
noticeable in the magnificent place of
Captain Pyles, one of the foremost
farmers of the county. RUDE Redding
has a splendid farm around his fine
new house, and there are many other
places where the crops are excellent.
Going out of Shady and into Levon,
the crops were well tended, but the
ground is not so good. The "colon-
ists," as usual, do not seem to have
the knack of picking out the best
soil, but they are trying to overcome
the disadvantage by hard work and
good management. The party did not
go quite to Pedro, which is another
old-time settlement, where the pio-
neers picked out the choice spots and
founded homes where plenty has ever
since reigned.
The road out Orange avenue is in
p1OGSy gnu ohdPC, Slo iIlOoG VI Jul
autoists know, it being among the
favorites for pleasure rides. One fine
little institution is the "Orange Ave-
nue. Cash Grocery" kept by Louis ].
Dankwertz, dozen miles south of
town. Mr.. Dankwertz has a neat lit
tie store and keeps cool drinks, which
were specially grateful TO the thirsty
ones returning from the picnic. He
also has little cigar factory, MAX
ing the fragrant weeds when he has
nothing else to do, and finding ready
sale for all he makes. In addition to
these industries he has well-tilled
farm. Mr.. Dankwertz has not been
with US long, but his enterprise and
good management makes the Star
wish that many like him would follow
iE his footsteps.

1t might be we'll for the council,
while Strengthening out railroad af-
fairs, to see what the Atlantic Coast
Line intends to do about freight
warehouse. For the last dozen years
or more the railroad has had free use
of a number of streets in the south
of town, it having pledged itself in
consideration of use of said streets to
build new warehouse pledge to-
ward the fulfillment of which it has
never made move. Also, the Coast
Line track blocks South Main street,
making that important street useless
south of South Fifth. 1t is in the
power of the council to rectify all
these abuses, and it should not put
off doing SO.

The Star is informed that the
guardians of liberty at Spar have
endorsed Light for the legislature
and that those in Ocala have endorsed
Zewadski; also that the guardians at
Dunnellon, on being requested to vote
against Titcomb refused, because Tit
comb, tho not guardian, was one of
their home citizens. The Star is also
informed that the guardians have en-
dorsed Adams for sheriff, Philips for
assessor and Colbert for collector. 1t
is only fair to these gentlemen to
state, however, that the said en-
dorsements come unsolicited.
