WAR DEMANDS SACRIFICE

At last the first draft Of young men
for the army has been completed and
it is definitely settled who are called
from this county. Naturally it brings
heartaches to many homes. Mothers,
wives. sisters and sweethearts can
with difficulty reconcile themselves to
the great sacrifices demanded of the
young manhood of the nation. In
like feudal Europe, the people Of this
peaceful nation are unused to military
rule, to the drastic measures which
are common on the other side of the
Atlantic. War looms up as a hideous
nightmare, a frightful storm bursting
from serene and sunny sky To the
credit of the men drafted it may be
stated that their efforts to escape by
exemption were prompted by consid-
GRAFTON of those who have always
looked TO them for support, and not
from lack of loyalty or through fear.
The young men with no responsible
ties enlisted by the tens of thousands.
others are cheerfully accepting the
draft. Men with families dread the
parting, the breaking up of homes
and leaving their wives and children
without the protection they have been
accustomed to. They realize that the
great sacrifice is made by those who
remain behind. Yet such is war. It
demands every sacrifice that the ma
ticn may live. An army must be rails
ed and it is the homes that must fur
nish the men. If the United States
failed in its duty now to crush the
Prussian monster, we would soon bel
fghting desperately on cur own soil
for the protection of homes and fam
lies. 1t is much better that the enc
my be fought in distant France than
have our own streets run with bloOd:l
Passivity now would mean destruc-l
ton as soon as Germany conquered
Europe and turned her bordes toward
Cur SHoreS- Inc uIdIC mas oeen IdIr
and impartial and those who haveI
been called are the victims of chance.
Il is possible that others may be draft
ed in the second or subsequent calls,
but the hope is entertained thati
peace will prevail and end the warl
before it takes heavy toll amongl
our boys.-St. Augustine Record.

NEWS FROM our BUSY CORRESPONDENTS

work the clerk has to perform in con-
nection with the depository account,
how much of his time it requires and
how much of the $3.50 you propose
to pay him in addition to what he re-
ceives from his office, for such serv-
ices. ! was of the opinion and had
been informed that the law abolish
ing the office of county treasurer
provided That the bank which acted
as depository of county funds and the
tax collector should keep the &C
counts formerly kept by the county
that the bank and the tax collector
do in fact keep these accounts. If
this is not true, ] would like to be
corrected Do you not think that the
sum of $3.50 is rather high in pay
ment OF the clerk for these additional
duties? Could you not obtain the
services of a thoroughly competent
person for this work for $1,000 per
year? One who could do the work
entirely satisfactorily, and who at the
same time would in no way hamper
the board by dictatorial methods. l
was of the opinion from what ! have
heard during campaigns, that the of
flee of clerk paid fair remuneration
without the nearly TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARDS additional which you have
appropriated for that official.
1t seems to me that in view of the
already very burdenscme taxes under
which the people of this county are
groaning, the deplcrable conditions of
our county roads, notwithstanding
the fact that thousands of dollars are
squandered on them every year, that
some economy should be practiced in
regard to contingencies" and appro-
priations for officials, and that in
stead of SO closely looking after the
interest of the clerk in order to see
that he is fully paid for the additional
duties imposed by the depository &C
counts" that the people be given
some benefits to at least in a small
way correspond with the tax increase.
If you can give US no relief whatever
by improving our roads, please give
us little comfort and consolation by
telling US about contingencies" and
appropriations for services rendered
in connection with depository ac-
counts"
Offering the above entirely without
malice and for the sole purpose of OBJ
tanning information for the tax pSyers
of Marion county in regard to the
items mentioned, the same is, I

THE FALL GARDEN.

u. S. Department, Gainesville. Pa
Aug 22.-Now is the time to prepare
for and plant that fall garden.
The average man does not give
enough attention TO his fall garden
and the result is not satisfactory.
fall garden given the same attention
and care will prove as profitable "a
spring garden. Weeds grow faster
now and it will take little more work
but food prices contiue 10 climb and
the fall garden this year will prove
an economy.
Good preparation, fertilization and
cultivation will produce results. The
world needs all that we can produce
You may not raise any TO sell. bur
every bit you raise will save Won
from buying that much and thereby
increases the amount available for
feeding our armies and our allies.
The people should substitute home
raised foods wherever possible for the
products of grains and meats. Every
time the housewife prepares and serv.
es anything which reduces the amount
of these staple foods consumed by
her family she is helping 70 win the
war.
While the saving may not be great
for one family the total throughout
the nation is very great. II is est
mated that a slice of bread wasted by
each family in the United States each
day during a year uses the wheat
raised on 1880 acres.
Use as many fresh vegetables az
possible and help save the flour and
meat which will be needed.

Judge Emory Speer, one Of the few
men in public life in Georgia who re-
fleets credit upon the state that pro-
duced Stephens, Hill. Tombs. Lamar,
Gordon and Grady has decided that
the selective draft law is constitu-
tional. This decision was forced from
the eminent federal jurist as a result
of the "mouthings" Of Tom Hardwick.
who poses as a member of the United
States senate from Georgia, and the
rawlings of Tom Watson, who has had
it in for everything and everybody
since the populistic movement failed
to land him in the presidential chair
Judge Speer is now sitting at Fair
field, N. c., to decide whether Wat
sons draft-fighting magazine, the JEFF
fersonian, will be admitted to the
mails.
Judge Speer has had a long and
honorable career on the federal bench.
and mo bigger man holds such a posi-
tion in the country today. He is noted
for the business and fearlessness of
his decisions, but if The Times was
afflicted with a desire TO render the
draft law null and void, and if it had
legal grounds for so doing, it would
not take its case before Emory Speer.
His honor. in our opinion. puts patri-
otism and true Americanism above all
man-made laws, while he puts the
Stacker beneath all other beings. 1t is
pity that the Georgia of today isn't
blessed with a few more Speers.-

GREENBAcKs VS.. BONDS

Several friends have written to the
Herald thoughtful and very gentle
manly criticisms of its suggestion that
the government instead of issuing
any more bonds, issue a billion or
two Of greenbacks to aid in carrying
on the war. These friends oppose the
proposition and give seemingly good
reasons for their opposition; but, may
be. they will regard the suggestion
more favorably, if they are given the
wording which the Herald would
have printed on the war greenbacks.
which in substance is as follows:
Twenty years after the conclusion
Of treaty of peace between the
United States of America and the
imperial government Of Germany, the
United States will pay the bearer. for
value received, ten dollars without in
terest. This note is receivable in nav
ment OF all public as well as private
dues debts and obligations"
II will be time enough to issue
bonds when the notes fall due. and
there is no money in the treasury TO
pay them, or they may be redeemed
by new issue of a similar character.

This famous old resort of Florida
will soon again be a popular resort
when the hard road is completed
from Palatka to the Marion county
line on which Orange Springs is To-
Gated as this road will be the most

In the meantime 1t is a popular
resort for the people of the neighhor-
ing country who will gather there
Thursday, August 30, from all over
Putnam. Marion and Alachua counties
to attend a big livestock meeting that
has been arranged by the people OF
Orange Springs.
This promises to be one Of the big

county this summer, as county agents
Blalock and Cantrell, of Marion and
Putnam counties are both taking an
active interest in the gathering. Di-
rector Rolls, of the experiment sta
ton, and DR.. Z. NJ Meighbert of the
cattle tick work, have promised TO be
present or have representatives there.
Dr.. A. NJ. Logan, federal expert on
hogs, will be one of the speakers ana
has promised to arrange his engage
ments so that he will be on hand
With hogs selling at 500 a hundred
pounds, live weight, in Chicago, it is
up to Marion and Putnam county
farmers to get busy. Dr. Logan's
talk will be particularly interesting
and valuable as there is no line of
live stock growing that is so profit
will surround his hogs with sanitary
conditions.
Commissioner L. NJ Rhodes. of the
state market bureau, will be on hand
and talk to the farmers about CO.
operative marketing. He is doing al
lot of constructive work along this
line, having recently organized the
potato growers Of the Tasting dis
trict into a cooperative body with al
capital of $4,000 They will purchase
supplies and sell their products on al

TAKES" AND CONTINGENCIES


Blitchton, Fla. Aug. %, 1917.
Honorable Board County Commits
sioners Marion County:
Gentlemen:
l notice by reference to the esti-
mate of the county budget for the fis-
Cal year 1917,191S, as adopted by
your board July 2nd, that there are
several items which l, as a tax payer,
and believe a great many other tax
payers of this county, would be glad
to have more fully explained than ap-
pears from the estimate as publish
ed.
1t occurs to me that, if there ever
was time in the history of our
country which justified. or even re-
quired, the strictest economy in the
affairs Of our local government, the
present is that time: when the peo-
pie of this state and county are
struggling under the burdens of the
high cost of living and general depres-
sion, with taxes going higher and
higher every year with no correspond
ing increased benefits 10 the people.
justifies, it seems to me, the strictest
economy and the closest scrutiny of
the expenditure of public funds.
beg leave to call to your atten-
ton the items in your budget under
the head of contingencies" there
being $1,000 set apart to this &C.
count under the head of general
fund" $1,260 under Zine and for.
fixture fund" $2,S45 under road
fund" sl,050 under "agriculturss
fund" $1,072 under outstanding in.
debtedness fund" and s2O7 under
sub-road district No. l fund" max.
ing total of 1894 that you have
provided in your budget to be spent
Tor contingencies without specify.
Ing or indicating in any way for what
purpose the same is to be spent. II
so mueh money can be set apart nm
der the head of contingencies, why
not make up budget based entirely
on contingencies l also notice
that You have. under general fund >
provided for 1880 as salary OF
clerk of circuit court as county audi
tor and clerk to county commits
sioners, and extra work on depositor,
account" ! believe that some af -.
tax payers of this county would b.
interested in knowing what extrx
