PREHISTORIC SENATORIAL CON-
PACT

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
From several recent articles appear
ing in the press of Marion and Sum-
ter counties / infer that the opinion
still obtains that these two counties
are bound in virtue of some prehis-
toric compact to alternate in the Sc
lection of state senators. | came to

ago. and although / have taken an in

of his own knowledge, to know OF
such compact. A vast majority of
the citizens OF both counties are also
lacking in any definite information:
and this was the status of the matter
more than seventeen years ago when
we nominated at the senatorial con-
vention in Ocala, in 1890, the Hon. ID
H. Baker from Sumter county to rep
resent this district We had all been
informed that in 1887 the two coun-
ties were consolidated in one senate
rial district in order. that the white
vote in Sumter county might over
Marion. Subsequent events thorough
ly proved the question of negro DOM
ination to be a chimera, because,
while this senatorial district was Gre
ated in 1887, at no election after that
time was any republican elected to
an office in Marion county. Every
one knows that the negro ceased to
be an important factor in Florida, in
politics, in the early eighties.
In this situation and with this in
formation, and lacking information as
to any definite agreement, I know that
many of the citizens of Marion county
were in 1900 (more than seventeen
years ago. disposed to disregard the
force or effect of any alleged agree
ment to alternate with Sumter in the
choice of senators. Many friends of
the Hon. w. j. Chambers (now of
Tampa, then of Orange Lake, were
very anxious to nominate him for SEN
ator in the senatorial convention
which assembled in Ocala In 1900.
The Hon. r. A. Burford, q. p. Thag-
ard, F. A. league (now Of Lady Lake,
Mr.. w. e. Allen, Hon. w. C. G. Kill
gore, Hon. VIM. Hines and the writ
er, in common with thirty or forty
other delegates from both Sumter
and Marion counties, were members
of that convention, and the matter of
this alleged agreement or understand
ing between Marion and Sumter eoun-
ties was fully aired and discussed in
convention. Many of Mr.. Chambers
friends were then wholly disposed. to
ignore the custom of alternating SEN
ators and to nominate Mr. Chambers,
which of course would have been cas-
ily done, and many even then assert
ed that the arrangement had been re-
pudiated and that all the real benefit
conferred by Sumter county had been
fully compensated. But out of defer
ence to the people of Sumter county,
and to convince them that We did not
desire to take any advantage o.

To All Patriots of the Home:
In these stirring days when our
country faces the most colossal task
in it's entire history, the spirit and de-
termination with which every man
does his bit may prove to be the turn
ing point of the war; Nothing should
be left undone to save our boys who
are going to the front. On the other
hand, there is not boy who is going
to the front that will not give all that
he has, even life itself, to preserve the
honor and integrity of the nation un.
der whose banner he fights.
What kind of boys are we sending
to the front We expect to send one
million brave boys. Most of them are
just approaching manhood--flled
with hopes and aspirations, and who
little dreamed that they had been pre-
pairing themselves to defend the coun-
try they love against the most highly
organized foe the world has ever
known The responsibility which
rests upon them calls for courage,
a determination, and patriotism al
-S ost sublime. That these boys will
meet the responsibility, meet it brave
ly adm victoriously, none of us enter
tain the slightest doubt.
Not long ago at great college re-
gatta dozen crews were lined up
on the Hudson for a four-mile race.
In every boat were eight men, clean
morally and mentally-physically per-
feet. The banks of the river were
ing to cheer their favorite crew along
to victory The signal was given. At
that instant almost a hundred oars
touched the water, and with perfect
rhythm these crews shot down the
river. Toward the end of the race
one eight-oar shell took the lead and
finished few inches in advance of
the others. AS this boat took the lead
thousands of people remarked upon
the rhythm of the stroke and the
grace with which the men rowed.
There was no hesitation, no fiinching,
no easing up on single oar.
After this boat crossed the line, the
crew rowed over to the dock and ev-
member of the crew except one STEP
ped out. What had happened to him?
Early in the race brass screw had
worked loose in the foot-rest and had,
during the race, gradually worked
through the thin sole of his shoe, pen
etrated the skin, entered the flesh
and finally embedded itself in the
bone of the boys heel He had to be
yanked loose from the boat Imag-

during the four-mile race. and yet not
once did he fail to throw all his power
into the stroke that was to win the
race.

these fellows will stick, whether he
faces machine guns or the cold steel

important question. We have under
taken task in this enrolment cam

other person sticks to his task, which
is to supply these lighting boys or
America with sufficient wholesome
food to enable them to fight as we
know they can fight and will fight. pro-

False Economy
to Do Without Ice.

1t is false economy for the housewife to figure on
getting along without ice. The correct handling
of perishable foodstuffs in the home require that
they be placed Immediately in wel-ced refriger-
ator
Meat, for example, is kept in cold storage in the
meat market, when brought into higher temper
ature the water out of it and the first thing
you know the meat spoils.
Fruits which have been shipped from the South,
comes out of cold storage and if kept in high tenn
perature in the home soon spos, if not safeguarded
with ice.
Isn't it economy to keep the butter in the refrger-
ator and have it to the table fresh, sweet and
hard, rather than in a half oily form?
Alspure Ice is the cheapest thing you can buye
for the value given At small daily cost YOU de-
rive benefits worth many times the actual expense.
