GONE TO TALLAHASSEE

Sheriff John P. Galloway, acting
upon the advice of his friends, left
Tuesday for Tallahassee and Wed
nesday will have an audience with
Governor Cats.
There is, perhaps, no better sheriff
in Florida than John Galloway.
That is the tribute paid to him by
Judge William A. Hooker when he
occupied the bench in this circuit
1t is the tribute paid to him by
Judge w. S. Bullock, the present oc
cupant of the bench of this circuit.
The charges against him are
trivial and frivolous.
They are such as can be made
against any sheriff of the state
But Galloway has been marked for
sacrifice.
He was a fast and warm friend OF
w. v Knott.
His name was not enrolled among
the "Guardeens."
When the governor visited Ocala
he made no genuflections before his
greatness.
His removal will make no friends
for the governor, but more than any
other measure will commit this coun
ty to observation-disclosures.

The social problem at Camp Jack
son is further complicated by the ar
rival of fourteen Croatan Indians (?)
who claim to be the descendants of
John Whites lost colony. They asso-
ciate with neither white nor black,
and it looks as if they would have to
flock to MISUNDERSTANDING Times.
These Indians belong to the eastern
band of Cherokees, little remnant
left in the North Carolina mountains,
even as our Seminoles were left in the
Everglades, when the, remainder of
their tribes were removed beyond the
Mississippi. The writer was acquaint-
ed with many members of the band
thirty-odd years ago. They made a
living farming, hunting and fishing
and selling baskets to the whites.
They took reeds from the canebrakes
and made the prettiest baskets ever
seen. The baskets were so closely
woven they would almost hold water.
These Indians had one characteristic
that if they have it yet entitled them
to keep to themselves. They never
stole anything.

w. w. HOWELL

Monday morning, Sept. II, 1917.
the death angel visited the home of
w. W. Howell of Anthony and took
from it our beloved father, W. w.
Howell. He died very suddenly. His
funeral was held in the little Metho-
dist church Tuesday afternoon, where
be had worshiped for the past 20
years. He was born in Howard coun-
ty, Missouri, on June 1st, 1885. On
the 28th of February, 1867, he mar
ried the daughter of Mr.. William
Toys miss Mary Elizabeth Foys).
Four children blessed this home,
three sons and daughter. The sons
are j. c. Howell of Anthony, the late
Edward Lee Howell of Ocala, and
Charlie B. Howell of Lowell; the
daughter, Mrs. E. A. Shealy of Dem
crest, Ga. He also leaves the faith
full wife and mother who for nearly
81 years has climbed the hills and
walked through the valleys with him.
Two married children in California
by former wife are left. Mr.. How
ell came to Florida in 1888 and has
always lived in Anthony. He died at
the ripe old age of 80 years, having
lived twelve years over his allotted
time. Well we may say, "a good man
has passed away this day." He was
always good member of the church,
taking a prominent part in the ser
vices until his hearing became i'm
paired. Anthony has lost one of it's
old landmarks by the taking away of
this good man. He lived a quiet but
upright life, his one motto being truth
and integrity. We will miss the gen
ial smile and hearty welcome at the
home where we lived together. On
the 28th of February, 1917, he cele-
brated his golden wedding. Now he
is enjoying the invitation of "Come
We blessed of my father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world.
From one who loved him as a
daughter. Mrs. E. l.. Howell.

FOR OUR MEN ON
THE FRENCH FRONT

If there is anything more consoling
to a man who smokes than nice cool
whit" just when he wants it the
scientists have not discovered it.
A large majority of the men who
have enlisted in the great army to
fight for the democracy of the world
are smokers and tobacco is almost as
essential to them as food. Army and
navy surgeons realize this and, while
intoxicants are prohibited, the use of
tobacco among the soldiers who have
acquired the habit, is placed among
the necessities. So, our boys must
have smokes. For this reason the
Star has made arrangements to have
those packages described elsewhere
half what it would cost the individual
to send the same amount of tobacco.
1t is very difficult to obtain Amer
lean tobacco in France near the fight
ing lines, and it seems that the weed
is not prepared in other parts of the
world like it is here, so it is up to the
people at home to see that they are
supplied.
Has your name appeared in the
Stars list of donors? If not, call and
leave your name with the amount you
desire to contribute and it will be
promptly forward to headquarters for
attention.

Macon, must be given a drumhead

drive about three bayonets into his

twist. That wouldn't hurt any worse
than the torture he tried to serve to
our soldiers.

Germany has again been indicted
of violating all rules of civilized war
fare and shown to have shamefully
abused and exploited the protection of
the United States in Roumania in an
announcement by the state depart

American government took charge of
the German legation explosives and
deadly microbes, which had been tax
en- to Roumania secretly, were buried
in the legation ground at Bucharest
for use in bomb plots and to infect
animals.

The Star has been accused of
printing itself in smaller type the last
few weeks. 1t is using identically the
same type it has used the last halt
a dozen years. The only difference is
that there is just half as much space
between the lines. 1t is setting g.
point type on a 9-point slug, instead
of 10-point slug, or to use language
which other people than printers will
understand, it is putting one-twelfth
of an inch of space between it's lines
of type instead of one-sixth, as for
merly. If anybody who doubts this
will come around, we will show them.

TWO MEN FIGHT DEvILFIsH
Engage in Life and Death Struggle for
TWO Hours When Ocean Monster
Finally Suceumbs.

Richard Hernage and Olaf Oak had
an experience with n devilfsh that
they are not likely to forget. The bat-
tie was fought ten miles out at sea,
off Malibu Point, Cal.
The men were fishing from q 30
foot gasoline launch when they sud-
denly became aware Of the tentacles
of the fish encircling the boat. They
tried with bare hands to throw the
tentacles off, fearing that the boat
might be dragged to the bottom. III
stead the fish pinioned their arms.
Oak had sheath knife in his pocket
and Harnage seized a boat hook, the
only weapon within reach. In the lin
tied space they hacked at the tentacles
until they got out of reach and by
maneuvering Oak got an AK and fought
the fish until it was subdued The bat
tie lasted two hours and the men were
so exhausted they We're unable to start
the engine.
AS they regained their strength they
rOwed the boat to shore and then
sought doctors for their poisoned ani
wounded bodies. What was left OF
the devliish still clinging to the boat
weighed 130 pounds.

The "Jerusa!cm of Russia"

Kiev, through whose streets many
armies have passed during the pres
ent war, is in many ways Il beautiful
town, and especially is this true Of
the old quarter, which Is built on n
range Of hills and bluffs overlooking
the vast low-lying country that
stretches out, like the sea- to the sky
line on the opposite side of the Dnie-
per. In the center of the old town
stands the Cathedral of Saint Sophia,
the oldest cathedral in the Russian
empire, with renowned golden cupola,
noted landmark for many miles
around; whilst the main street, the
Kreshchatill, contains many fine mod
ern buildings. Then Kiev Is a great
educational center. 1t ranks in fact In
this respect next to Moscow and Pc
trograd. 1t has been called the "Jeru-
salem of Russia" and is still the CEN
ter for the sugar industry in Russia
as well as for the general trade of the
entire region round about.

To maintain their aerial supremacy
along the western front, taken as a
whole, the entente armies employ hngc,
fiotillas of airplanes operating up aud
down the lines at a height of 6,0OO feet
for one patrol and 10000 or $4,000 feet
for the other, Lieut.. 6. L. Faulkner, r.
f. c., writes in the Scientific Ashurican.
1t is the duty Of the higher patrol TO
prevent German machines from comm.
over the lines ut great heights and
sweeping down on the unsuspecting
patrols flying many thousand feet be-
low.
Indeed, the purpose of the two pa-
trolls Is to cooperate in preventing any
German airman from crossing the lines
and securing photographs and valuable
Information concerning the disposition
OF defensive works, artillery and the
movement of troops. The entente
forces on given front may be NOV

extensive railroad operations; they
may be building additional trenches;
they may be constructing new gun en-
placements-all this they may be do

be kept from knowing what is taking
place in back of the lines SO that he
Will not surmise where the next attack
Is to be launched.
This, in sum, is the military STRAIT
egy of the modern battle, and the gen
cral staff knows very little regarding
enemy movements without the aid of
the flying corps.
