ing attracted a large gathering Of Our
colored population

gro. aged 2G, was charged with as
sault with intent to kill Maud Thorn
as.
The assault was not proven salts
factorily to the court or jury. as some
of the witnesses testified that while
it was true that he raised a rough
house by drawing a pistol AMI ii. ing
it promiscuously, it was not proven
that he fred upon the woman.
The evidence was. howeve., point
blank that he was carrying a conceal
ed weapon contrary to the statutes,
and against. the peace and dignity Of
the state.
Judge Smith assessed a fine against
him Of two hundred dollars, ard in de-
fault of payment he will have to en-
gage in good road building for Pc

THE HoG-NoT coTToN-Is KING

A hog on the hoof is now selling in
Chicago for fraction over 10 cents
per pound. In New York lard is sell
ing for 20 cents wholesale. Corn on
which hogs are fed is bringing
price because the quicker the hog is
fattened the larger profits he will
bring.
Just listen to this please which we
quote from the Enid (Okla) Events:
Pork and pork products rise to
these amazing prices because the war
which is in progress is a war of fats.
Fats, oils, grease, in their many forms,
enter into the manufacture of NUM-
nOurish the civil and fighting pOpula-
ton. For the latter purpose mineral
oils are not available. The great war
weakness of Germany today is not
lack of men but lack OF fats; 25,000,-
o0Q of her people have not fats enough
to ward off tuberculosis for a pro
lOnged period. It is this lack, more
than that of bread or potatoes, that
causes the amazing statement by Dep
uty Hofer in the Reichstag that some
parents are killing their children be
cause they cannot feed then.
Ocala cannot start her packing
plant any too soon. Hogs were never
more in demand, and will be in greater
and greater demand for long time
to come. If the plant is erected at
once it will soon pay for itself.
Let's get busy.

AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING

Beginning with the year 1917, now
just one hundred years ago, there was
what was called ii tie United States
an EZRA of good feeling The wax OF
1912 had happily ended. politics were
suspended. and the people were al
most of one mind. The new issues of
tariff and internal improvements.
much less the more acrimonious Issue
of slavery haG not yet arisen. Presi-
dent Monroe's address ;00thed the
feelings of the few federalists that
were remaining. AMI the leaders of
both political parties Joined in re-
ceiying the president with open arms
and what was called an era Of good
feeling" was ushered in. So it should
be now. Parties and sections have
been estranged long enough. Politi-
cal differences should be held in abey-
ance and feeling of unification
should be ushered in. The sectional
Ratchet should be buried. AMI no
strings tied to it. The United States
should be an united nation.

FIVE OCALA MEN NARROWLY ES-
CAPE DEATH IN AUTO ACCi-
DENT SUNDAY

Five Ocala men narrowly escaped
death or injury late Sunday afternoon
in an automobile accident. In the car
were Messrs. Oscar, William and
Dallas Jeffcoat, Mr.. Quinn and one
other whose name we did not learn.
Mr.. Dallis Jeffcoat was driving the
car, big Hudson and was coming in
from Silver Springs when the acct
dent occurred. When about two miles
from the city and while driving pretty
fast he turned ont of the road to pass
Mr.. John Needham. Just ahead of
Mr. Needham was DR.. Walter Hood,
but Mr. Jeffcoat did not see his car I'M
til too late to stop, so to avoid run
ming into him he turned his car into
the woods. Had not the sand in this
particular spot been very soft, the ac-
cident in all probability would not
have occurred, but the car skidded,
hit a tree and turned over completely
and caught on fire. All of the men
except Mr.. Dallas Jeffcoat escaped
with just a few bruises and scratches,
but he was badly shaken up. He was
extricated from under the car and car
ried home, and a physician summon
ed. It was discovered that one of his
ribs was fractured, but he was able
TO be out again the next afternoon.
AS a great many cars were coming
in from the springs at this hour a
large crowd quickly gathered at the
scene of the accident, and it caused
no little excitement The burning
car was put out almost at once. The
big car was almost a complete wreck.

THE oCALA PACKING PLANT

4 mass meeting was held at the
court house last night to hear from
the committee of five appointed at 4
previous meeting, and further l'scuss
the proposition, so as TO ascertain the
best ways and means for financing the
project of packing plant for our city.
Mr. John H. Taylor presided and
explained the object of the meeting.
Mr.. Taylor has visited Moultrie, Ga,
and after thoroughly informing him
self of its cost and operations is con
WINGED that it would be of greater ben
eft to the farmers and land owners
OF this county than any industry that
could be started.
Nj. Edwards was called on and stat
ed that he favored the enterprise so
much so that he would put his own
money in it.
Mr.. Wartmann was heartily in ia
for Of it, and told how the Armour
plant was already being enlarged,
which was prima facie evidence that
it was successful He believed that
it would be of inestimable benefit to
the small farmer
Colonel Rogers thought it would be
stimulant to all manner of indus
tries. There was no. reason on earth
that he could see why it would not be
successful. If he had $4,000 he
would be willing to risk the entire
amount in the enterprise.
Mr. Chambliss thought that we were
merely threshing OH old straw. The
committee had already put itself on
record as favoring the enterprise, and
the meeting was for the purpose of de-
yising means for raising the where
withal
A committee of five was finally APP
pointed to name board of twenty to
canvass the county for subscriptions.
The following are the names of
those suggested: George MacKay,
7. T. Munroe, l.. r. Chazal, w. T.
Gary, H. NJ. Weathers, Jake Brown,
l.. H. Pillans, D. c. Stiles, Jr., w. d.
earn John II. Taylor, John l.. Ed
wards, D. W. Tompkins, R. S. Hail. E.
L. Wratmann, ]. NJ. Meffert, ". J. Ed
wards and Walter Ray.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
John H. Taylor, 2. c. Chambliss, John
L. Edwards and E. A. Osborne was
appointed to visit Moultrie, inspect
the plant and its operations, and the
sentiment of merchants, farmers and
others concernig it, so as to be able
to make full report concerning it as
Ia profitable investment.
Mr.. Ernest McLin said that he had
visited Moultrie and nearly all the
counties and small towns in southern
Georgia, and the farmres were enthu-
siastic concerning it, and the enthusi-
assn extending 10 the counties in Flor
ida bordering on Georgia, and because
of the erection of the Moultrie plant
Gadsden county this year had shipped
forty thousand hogs to it and other
plants.
The sentiment is enthusiastic and
the impression is that the plant is as
good as already established.

Spring Colds Are Dangerous

Sudden changes OF temperature and
underwear bring spring colds with
stuffed up head, sore throat and gen.
eral cold symptoms. A dose Of DR..
Kings New Discovery is sure relief;
this happy combination of antiseptic
balsams clears the head, sOothes the
irritated membranes and what might
have been a lingering cold is broken
up. Don't stop treatment when reher
is first felt as half cured cold is Gan
gerous. Take DR.. Kings New D1scoV-
cry till your cold is gone.-m

BOARD OF TRADE PUSHING THE
PACKING PLANT

Friday night at the board of trade
meeting q committee of five was nam
ed to get up plans for furthering the
packing plant project They held a
committee meeting yesterday morning
and decided that we would go to work
Immediately raising the finances TO
put the packing plant going 1t was
decided that a hundred thousand dol
lar plant would be established. Local
bankers have practically assured us
that they would finance the operation
after the plant was completed. \ very
feasible plan is being perfected by
which the funds for constructing the
plant can be raised. Every feature
of the proposition is being given care
full attention and consideration. The
great good it will do for the entire
county would warrant every farmer
investing in few shares of stock, as
we'll as the other business men.
