VISITS THE SCENES or HIS BOY.
HOOD

The Times was glad to welcome to
Quincy and the scenes of his boyhood
last Monday, Col Frank Harris, the
venerable and distinguished editor of
the Ocala Banner. We have else
where referred to his visit here in
company with Governor TrammeIl
and Commissioner McRae, but as the
Nestor of the Florida Press he de-
serves mention in what some irreyer-
ent fellow has called the dignity de-
partment" of the paper when he
comes back after twenty years abb
sence to the old red hills he knew as
a happy, careless boy.
The white-haired old philosopher OF
our state journalism, who lately COM
pleted his three score years and ten
and received the warm congratula-
tons of the whole Florida press, is
now at that ripened period when the
higher wisdom of charity and toler-
ance tempers his views, and the lucid
simplicity of his writings carry a
message TO his readers as easily I'M
derstood as it is wise and kind and
helpful He is a charmingly modest
and unassumirg man, quiet and gen
tie in speech, never given to big
talk or center-of-the-stag perform
ances, but the note of character and
decision is in his conversation and
his personality is impressive.
There seemed to be. 4 touch Of sad
ness in the veterans eyes as he stood
on the sidewalk in Quincy, and in the
rays of the westering winter sun
looked out on the scenes of his boy
hood from which every friendly, ia
miliar aspec thad long since passed
away, and recalled the crowded years
that had vanished and the ruthless
changes they had wrought And in
the pathOs of that moment, when
memory was busy with other times
and faces, and the realism around
him was more like a dream in his Wis
ion than the dim images of the past.
the venerable editor with his snowy
crown of years, was a fine old picture,
fit to have come from the creative
hand OF the Master Painter
Long may he live for we youngsters
of the Florida press to cherish and
quote and nominate for governor as
regularly as the time comes around.

A picture of the new hotel at Howev
is printed in the Florida Grower It

is one to excite admiration When
Mr.. Howey started in at what is now
known as Howey there was not a res

faith of those who we're in search of
the promised land" and is being re-

GUARANTEE BANK DEPOSITS

The Heard National Bank of Jack
sonYille, which closed its doors yes
terday morning, had three million dol
lars on deposit
1t was entrusted with three mil
lions of other peoples" money.
Those three millions of deposits
represent large number of small de
positors who are unable to lose their
little savings. especially at time
when conditions are so depressed.
Those depositors are left wholly
without protection. without recourse,
without remedy at law and if the de-
posits had been ten millions instead
of three the same conditions would
exist.
Say what one may, it really occurs
to US that our lawmakers should in
vest depositors with some measure of
protection
If Florida had a guarantee deposit
law the failure of the Heard would
cause no heartaches. no lamentations
from those whose all has been swept
away over night.

eaten. With the oysters were served
steaming hot coffee. hot biscuit, pick

EDITOR MATHEW AT THE IN
AuGURATiON

No event in the states history will
equal the Inauguration of Governor
Cats. People from every corner of
the state came to witness the inau-
guration Of one Of the greatest men
in this nation. We know of but one
who has shown his sublime courage
in the advocacy Of great questions. BY
his matchless eloquence and splendid
personality he vanqaished the cor
rupt political gladiators. who in the
past have launched the political ships
and collected the tolls resulting from
past political campaigns. 1t was 4
great spectacle to see the thousands
of spectators from all parts of tie
state, to do honor to our great gov
ernor. Both he and Senator Tram
nell made able speeches and both Of
them stand deseryedly high with the
people We had the honor to dine
with the new Chief Justice Browne
1t was a real pleasure to meet his
charming wife and beautiful daughter
They are people of the old school and
entertain with the charming dignity
so well remembered in the old south
The following day Governor Cats
honored us with an invitation to dine
which was greatly enjoyed No gov
nor in The union has a more re
lned family. The daughters are
beautiful and with that pleasing man
ner which glorifed the south in the
antibellum days But when we see
the mother with her dignity and easy
elegant manners we would naturally
expect Just such daughters. Mrs.
Cats would be perfectly at home in
the White House in Washington. The
sons are worthy OF such father who
will prove in the future that they are
well worthy of the distinguished
father Tallahassee, the refined cen
ter of the state. will find in the gov
ernors family fit companions. and
worthy leaders in social events of the
cipital.-Fort Lauderdale Sentinel.

HURT THEN WELL
How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head TO Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon time Edwin Putnam.
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet of
Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up into
lott to get some building material
just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
pile of wood, knotted and gnarled. It
was a nasty tumble. and Mr.. Putnam
was injured painfully in the back. he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head TO foot.
The next day he bought bottle of
Sfoan's Liniment which had been re-
commended 10 him. Within a very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the lameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c., 50c. and Sl.0O.

ATTRACTIONS OF ocALA AND
MARION COUNTY

Mr.. L. H. Cammack, a member of
the Bowman Realty Company OF Hunt
ington, West Virginia, has written
book, the title of which is, What
About Florida?" The book contains
IT'S pages and is chuck full of useful
and interesting information.
OF this immediate section Mr.. Cam
mack has the following to say:
"Ocala, in Marion county, is a Well
built and wide-awake city of nearly
ten thousand, surrounded by pros
porous agricultural region, and on the
edge of large phosphate belt.
Near Ocala is the renowned Silver
Spring, one of natures wonders, a
mineral spring of extraordinary trans
parency, bubblin Cup outow the earth
with flow of 36S,90O gallons a min
ute, and of such volume that large
steamers coming up the Oklawaha
river, to this, it's fountain head, turn
in the spring and start on their down
river journey.
THE spring is deep, so deep that no
diver has essayed to explore its bot
tom, but so wondrously lucid that
small coins or other bright objects
show clearly a hundred or more feet
below, and the refraction of the suns
rays, and the lens-like effect of so
deep an abyss, give to fish playing
around in the unknown recesses Of
the pool. distorted. fantastic and mag.
ical shapes and colors.
For generations this striking nat
ural phenomenon has exercised a
strong influence over the magma
tons of men and has been a source
of interest and deep study to scien-
fists.
Their els good reason to believe
that the fame of some such spring as
this, either the Silver Spring, or a
similar one at Juliette, or the noted
Sulphur Springs at Tampa, carried
by the Indians, and by them trans
mitted in tempting story form to the
Spaniards, first induced Ponce de
Leon to explore the interior of Flor
ida in search of the Elusive Fountain
of Youth
"One of the delightsome sensations
in inter-Florida travel is the trip
from Silver Springs down the wind
ing and erratic Oklawaha to the ST.
Johns and thence to Palatka, dis
lance of 1876 miles.
''The boat plunges from the Spring
into the interminable thicket, beneath
Over-arching trees, dense in shade
and hanging low with Spanish moss
The channel is deep enough for an
ocean-going schooner, but so narrow
and so abruptly winding that the
steamer touches the bank on one side
while the boughs of cypress and gum
scrape against the cabin on the other
One seems lost in A wild African
jungle at one minute. and in another
energies into an open country with
broad fields and green meadows. 1t
is fayorite pastime of the traveller
to try to see an alligator If he
watches carefully ahead he may see
once in while one of these curious
reptiles slide easily from his summing
place amid the dense foliage that car
pets the low banks on either side of
the river At night torches are
lighted, the glare giving to the scene
one of indescribable weirdness. and
when the darkies on the lower deck
chant the low. tremulous melodies OF
their race, the combined effect is that
OF strange, supernatural and impos-
sible dream. Yet you wake up at
Palatka the next morning after a
short sleep and find the old world
moving on in its usual hundrum way"
