Religious intolerance in Georgia
has struck snag. At the suggestion
of Tom Watson, law permitting re-
ligious institutions TO be searched
was passed, couple of years ago, by
the Georgia legislature While it was
worded to include all institutions, it
was, Of course, intended for the Cath
olics only. Acting on this law, an at
tempt was made to search convent
in Savannah The mother superior
refused to allow the search, and con-
tempt proceedings were brought
against her. The court, however, de-
cided the law could not apply to any
but penal institutions and dismissed
the case. A similar law was passed
by the Florida legislature as its last
session.

COBURN'S JOLLY CREW
DREW THE USUAL CROWD

And perhaps a little more than
the usual crowd, for the S. r. o. sign
was out at the Temple last night.
There are bigger minstrel troops
than Coburn's, and perhaps some with
wider fame, but there is none out of
which Ocala draws so many good
laughs, and which draws such big au-
diences in return. Whenever the cur
tain goes up at the Temple, Cobe's
boys know they are looking into the
faces of friends who expect treat
of mirth and music, and they have
never yet been disappointed
AS aforesaid, there was a crowd
at the Temple last night-the usual
theater going crowd and many who
go only on special occasions. Ocala
was present in full force, and large
number came from other communi-
ties, not few motoring forty or
fifty miles in order to attend.
We shall attempt no review of the
performance beyond saying that ev-
cry feature was good and some
The music was mag
nifcent. 1t is possible that partially
for our home boy, Lester Lucas, gave
him little more praise in proper
ton, but his singing and that of the
Others deserved all its applause Oh
its merits. The instrumental music
also was of high order.
The greatest fun of the evening
was Carl Denton's peacherina stunt,
when dressed up as a stunning, fine
looking girl, he came down off the
stage and made love to various lone
some hombres in the audience. It is
said that some of these shed tears
when he pulled off his wig just before
skipping behind the scenes.
The bouncing Founders had every
thing in their line beaten. "The
Darktown Submarine Chasers" was
an entirely new stunt and was sur
prising as well as funny.
Seems to be the consensus of opin-
ion that Cobe has the best show he
ever had, and our people are glad he
and his funny boys paid them visit.
