THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
TO PASS AT THE NEXT SES-
SION OF CONGRESS.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 30.-That the pro-
posed amendment to the Federal con-
stitution prohibiting the manufac-
ture, sale and importation Of whiskey
in the United States will pass the
house of representatives at the next
session of Congress, which convenes
in December, is confidently believed
by prohibition leaders of Atlanta who
are taking an active interest in the
campaign now being conducted in
Georgia under the auspices of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League, Of which
James A. Christian is superintendent.
At the beginning of the last session
of Congress, the Democrats If the
house had to give their pledge to
members from wet states to let the
prohibition question alone, so far as
original legislation was concerned.
This promise was made to get the
votes from wet states for Champ
Clark as speaker. Some anti-liquor
legislation was passed in the form of
riders to war bills, but no original
legislation on the subject was allowed
to come up.

REGARDING OUR STATE sENA.
TORS.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
A few days ago you published .
clipping from the Tattler published
at Webster, without comment or cor
rection, advocating the reelection of
Mr.. Terrell to the state senate from
this district, in which the following
statement is made: However. we dc
not believe that 1t can be disputed
that in some instances Marion county
has had the senatorship twice." The
meaning of course being that Marion
county has had the senator twice in
succession, and it certainly can be
disputed 1t is not true. The appor-
tionment under the constitution OF
1885 added Sumter to Marion as the
10th senatorial district, and while
Marion county has a population
nearly four times that of Sumter.
Sumter has been permitted to name
the senator alternately. In 1888 the
election of state senator's from even
numbered districts was for a short
or two years term, and Mr.. John +.
Dunn of Marion was elected; in 1890.
Prof. Borden of Sumter was elected:
1894, DIR. s. H. Bitch of Marion was
elected; 1898. Mr.. d. Fl. Baker of Sum
ter was elected; 1902, Mr.. C. M. Brown
of Marion was elected, the moved
from the county and DIR. j. G. Baskin
filled out his term); in 1906. Mr.. Bak-
er Of Sumter was elected; in 1910.
Marion furnished the senator. Mr.. Il.
l.. Carney, and in 1914 the senatorship
went to Mr.. Glenn Terrell of Sumter.
So you see Sumter county has had
one half. when according to popuIa-
tion she was only entitled to one
fifth.
This paper further says that IL
would not be opposed to sharing the
senatorship alternately with Marion
IF her senator was of the mental and
moral calibre Of Hon. Glenn Terrell"
Now this is tough on somebody. but
just who can not say. as / have no
idea to which one of the gentlemen Of
Marion it has reference. Surely this
little, fling was not inspired by sena-
tor Terrell.
If Sumter county which has had
the senator for 16 out Of the 30 years
under the present apportionment.
wishes to abrogate the agreement to
alternate, it ought to suit Marion.
then we can take the senatorship ali
the time. w. w. c.

BAD CROP YEAR IN FRANCE

Mr.. Nicolas Heintz of this city re.
ceived a letter yesterday from one of
his sisters in France which says that
the excessive rains have caused a
crop shortage and the outlook for the
winter is anything but cheerful.
The people are feeling the effects
of the war and she says are facing a
shortage of wheat, meat, sugar, lard
and COAL The butcher shops have
nearly all closed as fresh meats are
very rare.
France is looking to the United
States for help in food and coal and
this country is doing what she can
to respond to her appeal.
1t now goes without saying that the
United States entered the struggle
none too soon.
This sister says that the United
States troops had left for the front
before the letter was written and that
it was a proud day for France when
the Sammies landed on her shores.

SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE AccI
DENT NARROWLY AVERTED

About 2:3O yesterday afternoon a
serious automobile accident was very
narrowly averted on Fort King ave
nue.. A small Saxon runabout driven
by Mr.. Johnson and a Mr.. Petteway
was coming down Fort King avenue
Going up the avenue on bicycle was
Master Gregg Davis, who has just
moved to Ocala from Zuber. The
men in the car did not see the little
boy, as he came from behind another
car or tree until they were almost
upon him. In order to avoid hitting
the boy the driver swerved the car
into the sidewalk and up against a
tree, and just barely hit the bicycle
OF course Master Gregg was thrown
of, but escaped with just a badly
bumped head. His bicycle was only
slightly injured. The Saxon Jared
much worse, badly cutting back and
front tire, bending fender, breaking
the lights and bending an axle.
The accident came all around be-
ing very serious one. Messrs. Pet
teway and Johnson both regretted il
very much. but are exceedingly thank
full that the little boy was not serious
ly injured.

them, it was agreed in open conven-
ton that the agreement to alternate
in the selection of senators if any
such existed, should be renounced by
both counties for all future time, and
in consideration for such renuncia.
tion Mr.. Chambers friends we're ask
ed not to present his name to the con-
vention and Captain Baker was unan-
imously nominated.
In the present contest l expect to
support Mr. Duval of Marion to sue
coed the Hon. Glenn Terrell, not be-
cause he is from Marion, but because
II believe that Mr.. Duval is the most
competent man spoken of for that po-
sition Mr.. Duval will not contend
that it would be improper for Sumter
county to bring out candidate, be-
cause il there was any basis for such
claim it was to my certain knowledge
publicly renounced in open conven-
tion more than seventeen years ago.
Should the Hon. Glenn Terrell or any
other Sumter county man also aspire
as a candidate, they are free to quote
me that there is no rule or under
standing that will prevent them from
doing SO at this or any future time. 1t
is almost inconceivable that there
should be any clash of interests be-
tween the two counties. In the past
Sumter has happened to furnish for
this position several distinguished
men that we have felt pride in elect
ing, and ii happens now that many
of US here think that we are offered
a man who will represent the entire
district with credit to himself and to
the satisfaction of all concerned. and
a man who is the peer of any of those
heretofore elected to this office, but
who would not undertake to gain that
office by asserting the force of an
agreement which does not exist, for
the purpose of excluding the Hon.
Glenn Terrell, who | expect has more
friends in Marion county than he has
in Sumter ! do not mean to reflect
on Senator Terrell or lisparage Sum-
ter county, but as everybody in Ma
rion county likes Glenn Terrell, and
as we have so many more people, !,
think this is true.
Very respectfully
WM. HOOKER.

ANOTHER VETERAN CROSSES
THE "GREAT DIVIDE"

81 News was received in Ocala Tues
day from Martin conveying the sad
intelligence of the sudden death of
Comrade H. N. Knoblock, aged n
years, his death occurring at seven
O'Clock a. m.
Just few days before death fell
upon Comrade Joseph Shuford in the
same way-as gently as summer
cloud.
At our annual reunion recently
held in Jacksonville. we announced
that Marion Camp, though one of the
largest in the state, had not a single
death to report, but since its adjourn
ment Father Time" seems to have
unsheathed his scythe and is busy in
making hasty inroads upon the wan
ishing thin grey line"
Mr. Newton Knoblock was one of
the best known men in Marion coun-
ty and was one of it's most successful
farmers. He was a member of a
pioneer family and himself was citi-
zen of the county for a number of
years ante-dating our civil war.
At the outbreak of that unhappy
event, he was just in the full flower of
young manhood and was among the
first to respond to the call to arms.
He had the honor of serving in the
ranks as private-those brave and
dauntless men upon whom fall the inn
pact of battle and the burden of the
camp.
COmrade Knoblock was with the
western army, served from the begin
ming to the end of the conflict, partici-
pating in every battle in which his
regiment was engaged and never
shirked a duty of any sort and served
without ever murmur or complaint
He left on the archives of his c6un-
try spirit of courage and lofty valor
that will serve as heritage for all
coming time as an inspiration for the
youth of our land.
He leaves to mourn his death a
faithful wife and nine children: Mrs.

The funeral services were largely

noble virtues, and the community
was told Of the loss it had sustained
Theiremains were brought to Ocala

cemetery.
Besides the large concourse that

old comrades gathered at the tomb
to pay him their last sad farewell on
his journey to well-earned and
blissful rest.
