CALL WILL Be ISSUED
FOR A CONVENTION.
TO Be HELD AUG. 9, TO PASS on QUESTION OF
BONDING MARION COUNTY

At meeting Monday night of good
roads enthusiasts, in the rooms of the
Commercial Club, further steps were
taken with view of calling an cleo
tion for an issue of bonds in the sum
of 100000, for the purpose of giving
Marion county system of permanent
roads, that will place her with the
rapidly increasing number of counties
of the state now in the front ranks.
1t was proposed that the bonds be
serial bonds issued on a basis of 80
years, and figures were presented to
show that thus issued the bonds
would not raise the taxes of the coun-
ty, but would permit a decrease of the
present millage. Or, if the county
wished to retain the present millage,
an increasingly large sum would be
available for road work over and
above the building of the roads with
the money obtained from the sale of
the bonds.
Monday, August z, was decided on
as the day for the convention in Ocala
for the purpose of ascertaining the
sentiment of the county with regard
to the bond issue. In the meantime a
committee, consisting of w. D. earn,
David S. Welch and E. M. Osborne,
will whip into shape the figures show
ing just how the money is to be spent.
This information will be got out as
soon as possible, in order that the
meetings might be held in the various
precincts to select delegates to the
convention here.
If the convention on August z goes
on record as favoring bonds, the coun-
ty commissioners, meeting in regular
session the next day, will be asked to
call an election and to select first
class engineer to prepare specifica-
tions for the roads. The intention, as
already announced, is to have specif-
tions prepared and contracts then let
for the building of the roads, the con-
tracts to be subject to the vote of the
people. In this way every voter will
know whether he is to be benefited, or
not. He will know just how the bond
money is to be spent.
It was agreed last night that the
important things to be considered
about the proposed issue are: the ef-
feet on taxes, and the proper spend
ing of the money. The concensus of
opinion was that the bond issue would
carry without any doubt, if it is shown
that there will be no increase in taxes,
no graft, and that every section of the
county will be benefited.

OVER THE GERMANS

CATS MUST SUBMIT
To A RECOUNT
Supreme Court Refuses Him a Writ
of Prohibition Against
Will Knott

Tampa, July 18.-A special to the
Tribune from Tallahassee says:
The supreme court has denied the
writ of prohibition asked by Rev. Sid
ney j. Cats to be directed against
Circuit Judge Simmons of Duval
county, and ordered an alternative
writ of mandamus issued in the case
of w. V. Knott versus the county can
vassing board and all inspectors and
clerks in Putnam county, such writ
being made returnable before the SUI
preme court at 10 o'clock a. m. July
9th.
The other. petition against the
county canvassing board alone of Put
nam county is held in allegiance. All
orders issued by the court were made
unanimous and without written opin-
ion.
These orders mean that the recount
asked for in Duval county of some
several precincts by w. ". Knott in
his contest against S. J. Cats, the de-
clared democratic nominee for gov
ernor, will be allowed and that Knott
is in a very fair way to secure recount
OF all the precincts in Putnam county
unless the attorneys for Cats can
show good reason on July 81 why this
should not be done.
Opens Way for Further Recount
This would apparently open the way
for further recount in other counties.
Knott has declared that he will go
into some twenty -odd counties alto
gether in an effort to prove that there
was miscount of the vote, particularly
the second choice vote, and, in some
instances, downright violation of the
primary law. He claims that the re-
count in Madison, Suwannee and
Hamilton counties, already made, has
given him enough extra votes to wipe
out the less than 300 plurality Cats
had and that the final tabulation will
show him easily the party's nominee.
On the other hand Cats and his adj
herents claim that there is direct evil
dence of improper methods having
been used, and that they have affida-
cits which purport to show that the
ballot boxes have been tampered with
in at least one county where recount
has been made, and in Knott's favor.
They claim that possession by Cats
OF the certificate of nomination by the
democratic party after the county and
state canvassing boards had done
their work proves him to be the legal
and qualified nominee of the party.

MILITARY NOTES

Black Point, July 17-Our "rookies"

After losing % men on account of
not passing the examinations, Co. A

strongest company in the Second reg
iment, also one of the best drilled.
Monday was innoculation day. Most
all the men received their third and
last treatment for the prevention of
typhoid fever. They received the
treatment at O'Clock and all were
able to go on regimental parade at
5:45 and made a creditable showing.
One of the largest crowds that ever
assembled at Black Point was out to
see the boys in full dress"
We have the best cooks in camp:
doc" Meiln, chief COOK, ana Ned
Anthony, first assistant, who are ar
fists when it comes to satisfying the
boys, having desert every day for din
ner, which is something unusual here
tofore.
Corporal George Davis was in
charge of the rockies. We were ex-
ceedingly sorry George failed on ac-
count of one bad eye, as he was one
of the best in Co. A.
'Tis better to have enlisted and fail
ed, than not to have enlisted at all.

Marsh, spent Sunday IN camp.
George Woods, ex-sergeant, arrived
in camp today and will spend several
days with the boys.
