of the president, Joseph Plaut, said
that so far as the reasons for getting
discharged were concerned Mr.. Mooney
was all wrong. Lehn & Fink company,
Mr.. Plaut stated with considerable
emphasis, does not care two whoops
for Mr.. Moneys politics or for the
politics of any of its employees.
But Mr.. Mooney says he was hred
because he worked and voted for
President Wilson"
81 am afraid Mr.. Mooney IS slightly
mixed in his reasons" said Mr.. Plaut'
1--WE do not now, and never did, care
how. why or if Mr.. Mooney or any OF
our employees voted. Perhaps Mr.
Mooney does not know that every
member OF the firm of Lehn & FINK,
at least so far as | personally know,
worked and voted for President Will
son. These, if not absolute proof, are
at least indicative that such Is the
fact"
These" were two checks, dated Au-
gust "a and October II. The hrst
check showed that Edward Plaut nan
paid 500 10 the National College
Mems Democratic Campaign Fund. The
second showed that Edward Plaut mad
paid $3.50 to the National Democratic

Mr.. Plaut said further:

FELKEL CORRECTs FLOURNOY
Tallahassee Newspaper Man Says
Cats Attorney is Trying to

Especial to the Starr

A. Felkel, the Tallahassee correspond
ent who sent out the story, today is

"Mr. Flournoy says he did not
apologize to the supreme court for
his client.
"After paying a beautiful tribute
to the court and the machinery of
justice and saying that it was a
pleasure to try case like this before
such fair umpires,' Flournoy said,
My client has criticized this court.
I don't know whether he is ashamed
of it or not, but I am What is that
but an apology for his client to the
supreme court? That is exactly
what Flournoy said last Monday
morning Immediately after court
opened. Those are his very words.
Many heard them. | wired the story
all over the state and it was played
up as it naturally would be. The
next day in the supreme court room
in the presence of several newspaper
men and others during recess,
F'lournoy complained about the
Times-Union headline. l then orally
repeated to Flournoy what he said.

that he was ashamed that such a feel

the courts. But that is not what he

what he said, and he will not tell me
that he did not say it. I am not re-

AROvE THE AVERAGE
is What an Ocala Lawyer Says of
Marion County Roads

Luther M. Mershon, attorney, is
home after 15-day trip to Kansas
and back Mr.. Mershon went to OF
tawa, Kan,. about 100 miles south of
Kansas City. At Ottawa he met E.
t. Newport, of Eastlake, who has
been travelling in the west for the
Duplex Chair company. Mr.. Newport
and Mr.. Mershon drove from Ottawa,
Kans., to Jacksonville, in the formers
car, taking 13 days to make the trip.
Mr.. Mershon says that the best roads
were found in Georgia, and the worst
in Kentucky. He says that the Mar
ion county roads are much above the
average, and compare very favorably
with the Georgia roads. The trip in
the car was made from Ottawa to
Kansas City, from Kansas City, over
the Lincoln Highway, to Evansville,
Ind; from Evansville, over the Dixie
Bee Line, to Nashville; thence to Bir-
mingham, by way of Huntsville,
thence to Montgomery, and then to
Columbus, Ga, where the Dixie High

THE GLOBES BIG
REDUCTION SALE

Saturday morning last, when the
Globe Store, owned and managed by
j. Malever, threw open it's doors to
the public, it not only marked the
of that firms big Reduc
ton Sale, but new epoch in price
cutting in the city.
This firm, as it has advertised for
sometime, is on the eve of retiring
from the general mercantile business
and centering its entire energy upon
a strictly shoe store.
To enter upon this new enterprise
the management was confronted with
the proposition of getting the use of
the entire store, which was heavily
stocked with new and seasonable mer-
chandise. After much deliberation
it was decided that the quickest
way to do that was to throw the en-
tire stock upon the market at prices
which had never been put before the
public of Ocala and Marion county
before, hence this great Reduction
Sale.
To say that the opening day was
a success is putting it mild, for all
day long steady stream of bargain
hunters" beseiged the store, and the
efficient corps of clerks, which was
thought to be large enough to handle
the throng, was taxed to its utmost
to care for the shoppers.
There are bargains galore-and at
such prices-everyone should take ad-
vantage of such an opportunity for
quoting the manager, everything in
the store must go for | am not going
to handle anything but shoes in the
future"

AMERICAN LIVES
NOT ENDANGERED
State Department Declares Germany
Has Not So Far Broken Agree
ment Made After Attack
on the Sussex
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Oct. Increasing
agitation in Germany for a complete
resumption of submarine warfare,
Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg's
declaration before the Reichstag that
any statesman failing to use Ger
many's every weapon to shorten the
war deserves to be hanged" and the
recent apparently inspired simultan-
eous publication in German papers of
attacks on American neutrality has
brought forth an authoritative state
ment from the state department on
the American governments attitude
towards the situation
Any action which endangers Amer
lean lives through the sinking of ships
without warning or by failing to pro-
vide proper safeguards, it was en-
asserted, will Immediately
reopen the submarine question, but as
yet there has been absolutely no indi-
cation in the official advices to the de-
partment that Germany has violated
the agreement arrived at in the Sus-
sex case. Reports of the sinking of
nearly 800 merchant ships since June
1, have been received officially, but in
nc case has it been proved that Am
erican lives were endangered.
Emphatic denials that Germany
has any intention of reopening a re-
lentless campaign of submarine war
fare are contained in confidential ad-
vices from Berlan to diplomatic QUAR-
ters here.

ton to do better work than ever be-
fore. The pupils have entered into
the work with zest that is indicative
of very successful year.
