he used a vile expression when ad-
dressing an audience in Gainesville

One of the strongest Cats papers
emphasized its denial by saying that
if Cats used the expression, he
should have been thrown out of the

who introduced him-no less per-
son than Frank Clark, Jr.-and
makes affidavit that Mr.. Cats did
use the Objectionable epithet, as
charged Prominent men-city Of

statement with similar affidavits. We
cannot believe these men are lying,
that they are perjuring themselves

matter is that Cats sadly lacks cul-

loosely tongue. He has not

RUSSIANS INVITED TEuToNS
TO SURRENDER
(By Associated Press. }

Damaschewitschi, Russia, Oct. II.
The entrance of Rumania into the
war was the signal for the Russians
all along the line to send over pla-
cards calling upon the Germans and
the Austrians to surrender and give
up the war as hopeless. The placards
in each case were carried over to
points near the German trenches by
prowling sentries during the night,
and were for the most part written
in mis-spelled and ungrammatical
German.
The first placard discovered by the
Germans was at point almost due
east OF Damaschewitschi, and read:
Notice
Today, the 2Sth of August, Ru-
mania declared war on Austria, Ger
many, Turkey and Bulgaria.
We are not shooting in order that
YOU may be able to SURRENDER.

RECRUITING FOR SECOND
;. FLORIDA REGIMENT

The war department has issued or
ders under which the recruiting Of
ficers of the National Guard of Flor
ida who were stationed at points
throughout south Florida have been
recalled and mustered out of the SER
vice. 1t is explained that this has
been done as matter of economy
and that recruits for National Guard
organizations now in the service Of
the United States will be accepted by
recruiting officers of the regular
army.
The Second Florida infantry, which
is the National Guard regiment rep
resenting the southern section of the
State, is now on the Texas border
with headquarters at Laredo, and
quite a number of recruits are re-
quired to bring this regiment up to
it's prescribed war strength. The
moving of this regiment from the
mobilization camp to Texas was so
delayed by the war department au-
thorities that doubt existed in the
minds Of many young men, who
would have been glad to see service
on the border, as to whether or not
the regiment would ever leave the
State. This doubt has now been set
at rest and the regiment is on duty
in Texas where it will give a good
account of itself and perform service
which will be a credit to Florida.
This statement is given out from
the office of the adjutant general in
st. Augustine, and we are requested
to publish the information that any
young men who desire to enlist in
this regiment for service On the Dor
der may do so by applying direct to
the recruiting officer of the regular

ONE, OF PRESENT CENTURY'S
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS
fOcala Banner


A century ago many of the most
prominent men of the nation in
dulged immoderately in the use of
the cup, and made no concealment
of it.
Well filled decanters decorated the
sideboard of nearly every home, and
the social glass was the prevailing
custom in nearly all ranks Of society.
1t was not only so in this country,
but it was the custom in nearly all
countries.
1t was believed that the use OF
liquors aided digestion, impaired
strength to the system, enriched the
blood, gave color to the cheeks and
promoted longevity.
It's use was recommended by ply
sicians and the pulpit was rarely
outspoken against the custom.
But the reverse of this is now the
story in our own as we'll as in other
lands.
The decanters have disappeared
from the sideboards, and the social
glass is now the custom in very few,
if any, of the ranks of society.
In no other field Of effort has any
achievement of the century been
more marked.
Many hopefully believe that if the
movement continues, as it nov seems
possible, prohibition in the traffic OF
intoxicating liquors is certain of final
adoption, not only by this nation
but by all nations, and that this tri-
umph will be reached before the next
fifty years.
AS great as that achievement will
be regarded, it is no greater achieve
ment than the sentiment that has
been created within the past fifty
years that will make such triumph
possible.
This sentiment has been brought
about because the accumulated eX
periences of men and women estab-
lish the fact that prohibition is best
and collectively
every community; that people are
better off and far happier when not
indulging in alcoholic beverages of
any kind; that when the working
man does not spend his money for
drink his family is better housed, his
wife and children go better dressed,
and are better in every way; that it
is mistake that it stimulates genius
and makes the brain more active and
brighter; that it is an aid to oratory
and excites the muses. to greater eff
forts in awakening the soul to sweet
er and purer song.
So it is the concensus of opinion of
the wisest doctors, divines, scientists
and women everywhere that it were
best for all concerned to get rid Of
the temptation.

F. w. Butler, who was brought
out by J. V. Burke, Cats campaign
manager, to fight the Democratic
nominee for Supreme Court Justice,
at the so-called Prohibition conven-
ton, declines to be made a tool Of
by the Cattsites, and will not sacri-
flee his Democracy to further their
ends. In a manly letter to John P.
Coffin, the Prohibition leader, he de-
clares he is Democrat first, and
will stand by the rightful nominee of
that party. AS the days go by, the
sane and substantial men who stood
with Cats through his fight for the
nomination are falling away from
him and wheeling in line for the de-
fence of the integrity and perpetual
tion of Democracy in Florida.

Lakeland cannot grow from the in
side. If it Is to increase it's trade,
it's population, and its Importance as
a city, it must reach out and cult
vate the territory from which it
hopes to draw business. If it pur-
sues narrow, sectional policy, and
gives reason to be considered selfish
and greedy, and DESTROYS of hogging
public benefits at the expense of 9TH
Ter communities or other portions of
the county, an antipathy will be
created that will offset hundred
fold any temporary advantage that
may result from such course One
of the main reasons why Lakeland is
sc interested in building a system of
good roads is that it may be made
easier for people to reach this city
and do their trading here. If we are
going to fall out with the very peo-
pie whom we are trying to get here,
because we cannot directly get every
nickel that is spent in road construc-
ton, it were cheaper to save our
money in the first place, and do with
out roads. Let us insist on our
share, but let us have the decency to
recognize the rights of other portions
of the county. We want the trade,
the friendship, the good will, of all
these people, and Lakeland as the
largest city of the county can draw
trade from a radius of twenty miles
or more, now that good roads are 60
ing to do so much to annihilate dis
lance. But it is going to take a
broad and liberal policy, an attitude
of friendliness and fairness, to draw
this trade, and then it is going to
take the most up-to-date methods of
to hold it. Dakeland's
opportunity is just around the cor
ner. and we believe her live business
men will recognize it and utilize it to
build here a real city-the metrop-
oils of great county and section.

ment was given under the auspices
Of the Associated Charities.

The melodies of Miss Evans were
clear and showed to advantage the
charming quality Of her voice. She
has soprano voice of clear note and
great power.
Miss Levins possesses unusual
dramatic ability and her readings
were clever and versatile.
The pleasing personality, musical
and literary ability Of the two young
ladies', with the varied program they
offered impressed the large and ap-
preciative audience.
