BOARD OF TRADE DISCUSSES THE
PACKING PLANT

At the meeting of the board Of trade
which was held Friday night at lie
court house the en- ire lime was taken
up in listening to Mr. Greer talk on
the packing pla 1t. and how much good
it will do Ocala, Marion county and
the surrounding counties, not only as
a profit for the farmers, but to build
up the towns and counties as well.
At this meeting there were some
thirty or more present, and all who
were ther were convinced that moth
ing could be done that would do this
community more good than estab-
fishing a packing plant here and es-
tablishing a market for all the stock
grown.
Mr.. Greer was listened to with
much interest and all questions pro
pounded to him were answered most
satisfactorily.
Among those who discussed this
proposition last night were Messrs.
E. L. Wartmann. r. F. Rogers, f. l..
Howell. J. NJ. Meffert, B. H. Seymour
and r. w Blackjack. All told of the
good it would do by putting money in
to the hands of the farmer. the mer
chant, the banker, the real esta' ;
dealer and the property holders by in
creasing the population of the county
At the conclusion of the discussion
of this question, Colonel Rogers made
a motion that vote be taken to =
deavor to determine the sentiment re
garding the matter. On the vote be-
ing taken and counted it was found
that they were'all in the affirmative.
and Colonel Rogers suggested that thu
chair appoint committee of five to
put this proposition to the people of
Ocala, Marion and adjoining counties
to see if such plant could not be es-
tablished here. Mr.. Gary appOinted ed
on this committee Messrs. John Tay-
lor, John L. Edwards, ]. NJ. Meffert, Z,
l.. Wartmann and R. F. Rogers.

AN "oLD-TlMER" IN THE TOLLS

Rev. Walker Swami belongs to the
. "old-timers, and for many years has
been one of the prominent factors
among his people.
For a number of years he has been
like the lilies Of the field: "He toiled
not, neither did he spin" yet few
members of his race was so faultless
ly arrayed.
For long time the officers of The
law have had their eyes on Swami and
believed that his long green came by
the contraband route, and yesterday
having previously laid their plans. the
sheriff and his posse caught him dead
TO rights by marking bills and other
detective devices, and caught him
with the goods.
Swami was carried before Judge w.
E. Smith, was tried before a jury, was
ably defended by his attorney, Mr.. E.
r. Martin, but was convicted, as the
evidence was direct and convincing.
He was sentenced to pay fire of
two hundred dollars and serve six
months on the hard roads.
We are told that Jordan is a hard
road to travel" and we fear that the
public roads in Marion county will he
found quite as difficult.
We understand that the officers OF
the law have their eyes on several
other well known characters among
the colored race, and four whites are
under surveillance, and are liable to
be apprehended any day.
Somebody had better look out. or
the "goblins will catch them"

YOUTH STOPS FLOWING
WHEN HE HEARS OF WAR


Little Rock, Ark.-When knowledge
that the United States wanted men TO
join the army and navy for defense of
the country against q foreign power
reached Harvey Ethridge, eighteen
years old, of Conway county, he stop
ped his plow In the midst Of a furrow
and made his way to this city to enlist
in the navy.
He arrived on the very day that a
preparedness meeting had been arrang-
ed to take place under the auspices of
the chamber of commerce and attend
ed that meeting. When enthusiasm was
at Its height the chairman of the patri-
otic gathering summoned Harvey to the
platform. The distinction almost took
the breath OF the country youth, and he
hesitated.
Finally he was induced to stand be-
fore the audience. and when invited to
state his reasons for promptly offering
his services to the country could do SO
only In hating language that could be
heard only by those nearest him.
Nevertheless the crowd cheered him
long and loud as one who, although
clearly not a fluent orator, had shown
himself ready to do his bit In a way
that counts strongly than a mas
terry Of public speaking.
