 The invention of the "Midget' Marvel Milling system-a complete roller mill all condensed into one frame and on one hour-not only revolu- tionizes the milling business the coun- try over, but makes the flour milling business in the South the opportunity of a lifetime for red-blooded men who want to make money and make it steadily and easily on comparatively small investment of capital, time or attention Note these for instance:

FINE MONEY MAKING CHANGE
 IN SOUTH AFFORDED IN THE
 FLOUR MILLING BUSINESS, South's Turn 10 Wheat Growing Demands More Flour Mills and Opens Fine Opportunity for Making Good, Steady Money on Com-
 parativeIy Small Investment.

A South Carolina man says he is making high as $30OO day. Another in Kentucky says: 1T cleared 8, ,677.34 last year. Set mark for $5,000 this year." One in Kentucky more than paid for his in less than one year out of his net profits. And their invest ment was very small in comparison with the amount of profits made.
 That's the experience of hundreds of others and also why there are more {" Midget" Marvel Mills being in- stalled than all of the old roller process mills combined. They are being in- stalled in every state in the South; Carolina alone already.
 Sooner or later every progressive community Is going to have Midget" Marvel Flour Mill grinding out big profits for its owner. It takes such little space, requires such little attention or capital to install or run. In fact, anyone can run it and make good, steady money with it right from the start every work day in the year. The wideawake man gets it and makes the money.

Striking Balls Are Given
 In Other Cities

rHHE approach of the date for the
 Black and White ball is bringing
 k out many interesting features, both in black and white and leap year balls that have been given in other cities and have met met with great success Quite a perplexing problem for the fair debutantes has caused man little fore heads to pucker and many little pouting lips, for they're planning to use all their cleverness in selecting their striking cos tunes. Perhaps this little hint told by the Washington Post about black ana white balls will be the inspiration for some altogether attractive novelties:
 What was by far the most unique en- tertainment ever given in this city was the black and white ball at the Lawn club Friday evening for the benefit of the day nurseries, says the New Haven Regis ter. It was a costume ball and, as the name implies, all of the costumes and the decorations of the hall were in black and white.
 There was a contest during the even ing for the best dancing, in which about F couples participated. Miss Hilda Sar- gent and MT. Charles kittridge were de- clared the winners, and were given sil- yer novelties as prizes. Another prize was given for the best costume, Miss Margaret Rice being declared the winner of this. She wore a short full skirt of tulle and long pantalettes and bodice of black. It was really a modified harem costume. MT. Green, who was awarded the prize for the best mans costume, wore black and white Harlequin suit, in diamond pattern. The judges in these contests were MT. Burnside Winslow, MT. Samuel A. York, MT. Ezekiel S. Bronson and MT. Edward D. Sargent
 There was nearly every costume im- aginable worn by the guests who num- bered over 200, and some were very strik- ing. Mrs Charles F. Treadway wore a very smart riding suit of black and white stripe. It was perfectly tailored and every detail was complete, even to the patent leather leggins and the black crop. Perhaps one of the most artistic costumes was that worn by Mrs. John T. Sloan, Jr. The hoop-skirt was in rep resentation of a bird cage, in which were a number of blackbirds The bodice rep- resented the top of the cage, and the

was given a second term, and did no
better work than Mr.. earn has done.
Another thing to consider, and very
important one Is, that the election of
Mr.. Carmichael would be great in
eentive to the wet element to call an
other local option election next year.
We do not know that Mr.. Carmichael
is in favor of another wet or dry con-
test, but we do know that many wet
men are working for him in the hope
that his election viii be step toward
restoring saloons to the county. Pro-
hibition is working very well, and
very few of our leading citizens want
the county torn up with another wet
or dry campaign, no matter what the
result is.
Some particular people may object
to our Juggling prohibition into this
question: they do, we can only say
that all our county public affairs will
be decided in the primary of next
week. And another matter to re-
member is that the county was kept
wet for twenty-five years by means
of republican votes, and if it ever
goes wet again, it will go wet by re-
publican votes. If democrats chosen
in democratic primary would agree
to leave the question of calling a wet
or dry election to another democratic
primary, it would be proper and con-
sistent to leave the issue out of this
one, but in the present state of affairs
it is entirely correct for dry demo-
Gratis to vote against men whom they
have reason to fear might force sa-
looms on the county again by means
Of republican votes.
The third candidate in the race, Mr..
Pickett, does not seem to be cutting
much of a figure. He is an indus
trious and ski1lful farmer, and if fate
should land him in the position there
is no doubt that he would do his best
by his district and the county.

hesitatingly favor Mr.. Sheats, the
present incumbent.
For railroad commissioner, we
favor R. C. Dunn, the present incum-
bent first, and A. s. Wells second.
Somehow Mr.. Ford is very amusing,
but place on the railroad commits
sion is no joke.
When we come to the county candi-
dates, we feel reluctance to either
advocate or oppose any. We have
known most of them personally for
years, and have travelled around with
them and met them almost every day
during the campaign, and are prob
ably in better condition to do justice
to them all than any other man. It
seems to us that it would be impossi-
Bile for any county to have higher
average of candidates, and this is not
only what we say of them, but what
most of them say of each other.
OF the four legislative candidates,
Crosby is already nominated thru
having no opposition and his name
will not appear on the ticket. OF the
other three, Mr.. Zewadski is the most
brilliant man and the best speaker;
he can better hold his own in par
liamentary tactics, and would attract
the most attention to the county. Mr..
Light is man of shrewd sense and
sturdy, plodding industry-he may
not show up so well on the floor, but
| few can best him in the committee
room. Judge Tticomb has never been
to the legislature, but he is well ac-
quainted with public men and affairs
few know Marion county any better
and if elected he will do good work.
Mr.. D. M. Barco, our good ole
supervisor of registration, has no op.
position. Of the two candidates fol
county Judge, Mr.. VIM. E. Smith, who
now holds the Office, in our opinion
deserves reelection. No man in the
Office has ever made better record
than he-he qualified himself for The
position in the face of great disad
vantages, was elected four years ago
by big majority, and if there is any
instance in which he has failed to d.
his duty, the Star has never heard o.
it. The Star thinks the people owe i
to him and themselves to give hin
another term. His opponent, JOSEPH
Bell, is a young man who has TO,
years been a personal friend; W,
would support him against almost an.
other man than Mr.. Smith; he is pop

MEETING AT FORT mccoy
Candidates Addressed the People at
One of the Historic Spots of
Marion County

The political meeting and picnic at
Fort Mccoy Tuesday was a most
pleasant event to all who attended.
Fort Mccoy is one of the historic
spots of Marion. One of the chain of
forts built across the state to keep the
Indians in order eighty years ago
was located there, and it became
gathering spot of pioneers who have
kept up thriving community ever
since. 1t has always been a favorite
place for picnics on account of its
lovely lakes and pretty woods. Some
years ago, Fort Mccoy was changed
from Arcadian to industrial life by
the location of a big lumber business
and the advent of the Ocala Northern
railroad. 1t buzzed with industry
awhile, but now the big sawmill has
shut down and the exotic population
has fled. The old-timers and their
lands are there yet, however, and the
place will soon rebuild its prosperity
on more solid foundation
The place for the meeting was well
located. The stand was under the
trees by. beautiful Silver Lake, and
everybody had plenty of shade and
cooling breezes. That veteran demo-
crat, John w. Stevens presided, and
| introduced each candidate with we'll
chosen words.
The dinner hour was happy one,
the people, who came from miles
around, from Sparr, Eureka, Orange
Springs, Burbank and other places,
bringing well filled baskets, the con-
tents of which We're sperad on long
table by the lake. The food was well
worthy fine agricultural section, and
everybody had most pleasant and
satisfying time.
Many prominent citizens were pres
ent from various sections of the coun-
ty, and to all the people of Fort Nc
Coy gave a wholehearted welcome,
that made their visitors anxious to
see them again.
In the afternoon there was a ball
game between the Fort Mccoy and
Spar teams, the result of which a
friend has promised to send to the
Star.
