LAKE COUNTY SWEARS
BY ITS ROADS

Editor Star: Print. destroy or lay

ed by the Stars educational road de-
bates. References derogatory of
Lake county's bonded roads written
Ly some of your correspondents as
an aid to their opposition to Marion
bonding next week. seems to call for
a reply from Lake county citizens.
undertake to speak for them, and l
make the sweeping assertion that no
man who voted against our road
bonds has ever been heard to &C
knowledge the fact with pride since
cur model highways have been in
service. That fact is often comment
Ell upon over here. 1t simply means
that all the arguments and honest
fears and dreadful calamities predict
ed by opponents of bonding proved
groundless. There is not a soul in
Lake county in my candid opinion who
would be willing to attach his name
today to the most scholarly and log
ical and impressive articles appear
ing in the Star in opposition to road
bonds. "What fool I was to try to
defeat the grandest blessing we have"
is the way one feels who voted against
road bonds.
And where is the county from ocean
to ocean in America that today would
il it could, repudiate its bonds and re-
turn to its former road system? Is
that not sufficient to demolish all the
evil prophesying and lamentations of
the honest souls who predict the end
of the world if Marion county gets
into the company of leading counties
of America who took the plunge?

TAYLOR-BECkHAM

Mr.. Mack Taylor and Miss Thee
Beeckham, both Of this city, were
married this morning at 9 o'clock in
Jacksonville, by Rev. J. T. Boone, pas
tor of the First Christian church, of
that city.
While the marriage of these young
people was not unexpected by their
many Ocala friends. it was a complete
surprise the way the couple so clever
" slipped away without their plans
being known. Evidently they realized
the usual stunts" that follow a we'd
ding were in store for them and they
made their escape. Mr.. Taylor left
yesterday for Jacksonville and Miss
Beckham and her father, Mr.. F. B.
Beckham, went to Jacksonville on the
midnight train.
Mrs. Taylor is the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. 3. Beckham and
has always lived in Ocala, which has
been the home of her parents for

A REDHOT LETTER
FROM MR.. CURRY

Editor Star: / am boss of road
camp No 2. l have seven convicts,
ore truck driver and one guard, which
makes ten in camp. Your informant
says it consists of a road boss, one
camp cook and one laborer. The la
bCrer is worked to the limit. The boss
has nothing to do but boss him, the
cook nothing to do but cook for three,
and that the truck driver hauls
enough in one load to last one man all
day to spread. I say the report is
false and untrue. / have about as
much as a man can do, the cook has

ARGUMENT ENDS

With this article ends the argu-
ment for or against bonds, so far as
the Weekly Star is concerned, and we
see no particular use in carrying it on
in the daily, as it will not reach all
the people. It is our opinion that the
peoples minds are made up, and fur
ther argument will change few if any
votes.
It has been about a month since
the Star opened it's columns for dis
cussion of the subject, and the matter
has been pretty we'll threshed out in
that time. We are rather proud of
the debate, because it has been car
ried on so well-On a higher plane
than any other discussion we can re-
member. About every point on either
side that could be thought of has been
presented, and the discussion has been
carried on gOOd-naturedly. No one has
lost his temper, and we really think
ali have written in what they thought
was the best interest of the county
AS far as debate is concerned, we
don't think anybody will ask this edi-
tor to stay out of another out of con-
sideration for his opponents, for some
Of the boys have bumped us heavy.
We apologize to Charlie Haycraft
for cutting down his last letter. II
was out of all the bounds we set;
nevertheless, if it had come in sooner
it should have gone in in full. Well
bet Charlie put in all day Sunday
writing instead of going to church.
We will read up soon in the ency.

TIE BOND ISSUE

The bond issue for good roads re-
solves itself into just this-does Mar
ion county want to lag behind with
the counties that are standing still
OF falling behind or does the county
want to go forward, keep the pace and
compete with the counties that have
good roads?
is Marion county less able to build
roads than other counties?
Can you think of a single good
thing that did not have opposition?
TIC find fault is easy. At this time
Marion county needs the help of men
who are constructive Every man who
wants to see the county go forward
should vote Eyes" at the polls Tues
day.
Do you know that Marion county
has increased in population only
seven per cent. in fourteen years ?
And that nearby counties have in
creased 100 to 200 per cent?
Do you know that only one-tWelfth
of the land in this county is under
cultivation? The greatest part of it
is available for cultivation.
Build roads! Make these idle lands
work!
Every days delay in the building
of good roads in any county today is
money lost.
Do you know that the state of
Texas has this year voted bonds to
the amount Of $100,00O,000. and that
this does not include $90,OO0,O0O
other road funds now available in that
state, sum of $190,OOO,00O all told

WELFARE WORKERS D ISCUSS HEALTH
CONDITIONS IN ESCAM BIA

AT the invitation of Miss Agnes
Neva McKinna, welfare worker of Es
Gambia county, a number of public
spirited women of Pensacola met yes
terday afternoon at the San Carlos
hotel, to confer with DR.. Grace Whit
ford, head of the child welfare work
of the state, in relation to the needs
of Pensacola and Escambia county.
Dr. whitford, whose headquarters
are in Tampa, is one of the most noted
child welfare workers in the south,
and talks of her work in a stimulating
and interesting way. Both DR.. Whit
ford and Miss McKinna are much en-
couraged at the attitude OF coopera-
ton in Escambia county, and have
met with splendid support from the
people themselves, in the work they
have introduced through the public
schools.
From it's inception in Pensacola the
public health work has received the
endorsement and active assistance of
the Pensacola chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and at the meeting
of yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Kennedy
once more pledged the aid of the asso-
citation with which she has been SO
closely allied for the past three years.
DIR. Whitford stated that one of the
most encouraging things in relation to
the child welfare work in Florida was
the interest the children themselves
display. and said that through this
interest they were bringing about
some valuable results.
Miss McKinna said that in this
county she had found a fine spirit of
cooperation, particularly in the rural
districts. and that she felt that the
work was bound to grow, as the peo-
pie realized not only its necessity. but
the desire of the people themselves
to receive the benefits for their chill
dren that the health program assures.
The group of women present
pledged themselves TO aid in the work
outlined by DIR. Whitford and Miss
