whom they see fit, and no democrat
has any right to deny them that
right.
We also beg to inform them that
the opposition of the Ocala papers to
Cats has been careful, moderate and
within the law. Compared with the
abuse lavished on Knott by some OF
! the Cats papers, the Ocala papers
have been very mild indeed.
We also beg to remind them that
they would have highly applauded in
the Ocala papers everything they
printed against Cats if it had been
printed against Knott.
We hope this explanation will be
satisfactory to our friends who sup.
I port Cats. If it isn't, we have nc
other to make. We do not consider
Cats democrat, the nominee of the
party nor a man competent to be the
governor of the state, and we woul6
not be acting up to our convictions i
/ we did rot oppose him.

BELLEVIEW

Belleview, Nov. 1.-As previously
announced the ghosts and COLLINS
walked at the town hall last Tuesday
night, and the affair was a grand sue
cess from all standpoints, and the pro-
moters feel proud of their achieve
ment.
There was also the devil to pay in
the town at large after the affair
above enumerated was dismissed. The
boys, both old and young, covered the
whole town, laying waste as they
went. It was the same scene enacted
in Belleview that was being enacted in
fifty thousand little towns all over the
United States, so therefore it is use
less to chronicle further details.
Mr.. Eugene Knight, prominent
resident of Eastlake, passed thru
Belleview one day last week on his
way to the Shady section, to consum-
mate cattle and hog deal. He stop
ped long enough to tell the writer
that he was a persistent reader of the
Star. Some people deem it an honor
tic wear medals of various descrip-
tons, others look upon their lodge af-
filiations as badge of honor; some
wear church membership to prove
their uprightness, but no matter what
the distinguishing mark, the "Star"
embraces all classes who come to-
gether on common ground, and are
proud to be classed as Star readers.
Mrs. S. p. Pierce has returned from
a little visit down in Manatee county
Sunny Jim had all the sunshine
knocked out of him one day last week
AS he was vending his way southwark
from Belleview, headed for other
points south, figuring in his mind what
excuses he could offer his customers
for the last two or three advances in
shoe leather, all of sudden his little
tin lizzie made that peculiar noise
well known to all motorists, that
sounds exactly like the smashing up
of dollars into little bits, and came to
dead stop. And then it rained, and
then Sunny Jim directed the chauffeur
TO lead him back to Belleview, and in
the course of time they arrived, foot
sore and weary. They told their
troubles to Walter Nelson and he
cranked up old Nancy and towed them
in and the bill was two and a half
days for all hands and the garage
And that was when Sunny Jim wore
his sunniest smile.
As they were coming over the rails
headed for Belleview, at Washington,
Mr.. Frank Haviland on a scout for
breakfast bumped into Mr.. Sands
Haviland. They had travelled on the
train together from New York with
out knowing it, and from then on time
flew swiftly and pleasantly. So much

SO, in fact, that they arrived in Jack
sonville nine hours late and never
knew it. The social season now opens.
Mr.. Jimmie Whiteside, expert dem
onstrator for the Oldsmobile, was in
town last Friday, showing off beauty
of car. 1t had eight cylinders and
a pretty little magnetic that set right
down in the V of the engine, and upon
occasion it spanked with the ardor of
2 country boy with his first love.
We are certainly glad to note that
Mr.. D. E. Strobe has improved
enough to sit up and be around again.
This is purely the result of good nurs-
ing.
Mr.. Mealy Proctor Jr., of the Pedro
section, was visitor to the Nelson
garage last Tuesday.
Mrs. j. w. Nelson and baby Dor
othy have returned from pleasant
two weeks visit with friends in Jack
sonville.
Col. VIM C. Doolittle, one of the
oldest subscribers to the Star, says to
let the good work continue in the
shape of the Weekly Star.
Mr.. J. N. McAlister is spending a
week or so at home, making plans for
his next years farming operations.
Mrs. o. S. Shade and the twins
spent several days in town visiting
friends.
And now as hog killing time ap-
proaehes I wonder how many people
know that the big packing houses in
the west buy up all the corncobs and
use them in their smoking department
in smoking meat, instead of using
hard wood, as a good many people
suppose. And yet we continue to
throw away our corncobs.

THE NATIONAL
COLLECTION AGENCY

The above named concern, which
has now been doing business through
Florida representative for several
years, is operating in Ocala, and we
have turned over a number Of ac-
counts for collection. These are ac-
counts which we have been mailing to
our patrons for the past few months
without any response. We regret very
much to take this method of collecting
what is justly due US, and have only
given the National accounts against
those who have persistently ignored
cur communications. Those who have
replied, even tho they were not in po-
sition to settle at this time, will not
have their accounts presented by this
method. We feel that those who owe
US accounts long past due show very
little appreciation of credit extended
them when they do not as much as
acknowledge request for settlement
A number of the accounts turned over
To the National for collection have in
structions attached to enter suit il
necessary in order to force payment
This is very unpleasant to US, but we
have determined to find out just who
the professional "dead beat" is AND
reduce our annual output of paper tt
that extent by cutting them from oul
| lists in the future.
The National has quite an aggrega
ton of judgments secured in this state
which it is advertising for sale. Ses

THE AMENDMENTS

In next Tuesdays election, there
will be three constitutional amend
ments for the people to vote on.
The first is to exempt from taxation
property to the value of $500 Of every
widow who has family dependent
on her, or any bona fide resident of
the state who has lost limb or been
disabled in war or by misfortune. We
think it is good amendment and in
tend to vote for it.
The second amendment will, il
passed, give each county in the state
a senator and representative for
each ten thousand population, provid-
ed that no county shall have more
than three representatives. We think
each county in the state should have
senator, and the bigger counties
are entitled to at least three repre-
sentatives, and we shall vote for this
amendment.
The third amendment is grand
father clause" and is intended to pre-
vent negroes from voting. The Star
has always believed that both negroes
and white people would be better off
if the former were entirely excluded
from politics. We do not believe,
however, that this law will stand. The
supreme court of the United States,
in 1915. ruled against a similar law.
If this amendment is adopted, it is
bound to be contested and almost
certain to be declared unconstitu-
tional, and in the meantime, any cleo
ton held under it may be declared IL
legal. We are afraid of this amend
ment and intend to vote against it.

POLITICAL INTOLERANCE

AS a general thing, we must say,
most of the supporters of Cats in
Marion county have been tolerant and
good-humored. In fact, Marion coun-
ty, thank the Lord, during this cam
paign, has been political oasis in a
desert.
Some of Cats supporters, how
ever, have been as intolerant as their
candidate, and have abused and even
threatened the Ocala papers for sup
porting Knott.
We respectfully submit to these
people that the Ocala papers have a
legal and moral right to support

Almost Drowned

A little daughter, 20 months old,
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Corbett,
came very near losing its life at
the Corbett home on Jackson
river Saturday afternoon. While
playing about the yard it fell in
the large spring which supplies wa
te, for the home, and when found
was supposed to have been in some
thing like five minutes. To all ap-
pearances, life was extinct, but a
hurried call was sent to DR.. Val
den of Monterey while the family
resorted to efficient first aid
remedies. The child was restored
before the doctor arrived, and,
aside from possible bad effects
from the chill, the little victim
was on the safe side.
The spring is among the largest
and coolest in Highland, and the
chill produced from such a pro,
longed bath in April was neces-
sarily severe.

Home Burned

The family of w. H. Wilson, in
Guiding his aged father who resided
with him, was rendered homeless
Tuesday afternoon by fire. The
house was not an old one, having
been built something like rs years
ago, and was one of the best in that
section of Strait Creek. The shin
gle roof, however, caused the trou-
BILE, for it was there the fire origi-
mated, and with the wind blowing
gale, there was no possibility of
controlling the flames.
The men were at work in the
field, but were soon on the scene
and, with the assistance of neigh
bors, succeeded in getting some
articles out. Several out buildings
were also destroyed and the barn,
some distance away, was saved
with difficulty.
We have heard no estimate of
the loss, but it is heavy, loss the
extent of which is hard to estimate.
There was no insurance.

Prominent CITIZEN PASSES AWAY


The earthly life of Peter Gum, g
native Highlander and lifelong
resident of the Meadow Dale neigh
borhood, came to a close on Thurs
day evening last about 4 O'Clock,
1.-THE end coming suddenly.
MIR. Gums breakdown in health
dates back more than a year, I'M
favorable symptoms and gradual
decline following a partial stroke
of paralysis. A month or more
ago his condition became much
worse and since that time he had
been confined to his bed most of the
time. On the day of his death, how
ever, he was visited by his attend
ing physician, and in his presence
sat up in bed and ate some dinner,
the doctor discovering no signs Of
immediate danger. In a few hours,
hewever, the aged veteran was
stricken and died almost without a
word.
Mr.. Gum was BORN about 70
years ago. son of Ohio Gum, in the
community in which his long life
wa: spent and where the last mes
senger found him. He was a mem
Der of one of Highlands Oldest and
largest families, and while he WIS
the last survivor of his immediate
family, he has large relationship
in this and adjoining counties. He
has two sons residing in this coun-
to, R. Lee, of Vanderpool, and
Dennis, with whom he lived at the
time of his death; two others,
Paul and Harry Gum, have lived
in the West for many years. He
Is also survived by half brother,
Mr.. Harper Mclaughlin, of Bath.
Mr.. Gum had been prominently
identified with the public affairs of
the county for many years, being
elected to the office of Commission
er of the Revenue for one or two
terms. At the organization of the
Citizens Bank of Highland he was
made one of its directors, Which
position he held at the time Of his
death. He was also, for long
time prior to the end, a ruling
elder in the Pisgah PRESBYTERIAN
church, and one of its strong and
substantial supporters.
As business man he succeeded
we'll in life, combining the stock
business with farming and accumu-
lating handsome estate. In his
home "the latch string was always
out" and he was hospitable and
entertaining. He saw long and
hard service in the Confederate
army, belonged to Company F.,
25;h Virginia, and lost leg at the
battle of Cedar Mountain. One of
his comrades, w. A. Cunningham.
who was near by when Mr.. Gum
received bis wound, was permitted
to attend the burial on Friday.
The funeral services took place
from Green Hill church, conducted
by his pastor, Rev. N. A. Parker,
and were attended by large mum.
Der of people from all over the
county. Out of respect to his
memory, both banks of the town
were closed for the day. Inter
ment was in Green Hill cemetery.
