Marion county has lost another
gallant boy. Virgil G. Randall, SON of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Randall of Connor.
He was among the first of our select
ed men to go, leaving for Camp Jack
son with the contingent in October,
1917. He passed safely thru the dam
gers of war, only to be killed on his
way home. The troop train on which
he and his comrades were travelling
toward Brest, where they would have
boarded transport for America, was
wrecked Saturday. Private Randall
and four other Florida boys were kill
ed, among them John p. Davidson of
Trilby, also known in our city.
Our people join in sorrow with Mr..
and Mrs. Randall for the death of
their brave and patriotic son.

ish and single American regiment,
altogether less than forty thousand
men, was all that could be spared
them. In return, they sent TO the
western front, to help meet the great
German offensive of last spring and
summer, between two and three hum
dred thousand men. They had more
experienced soldiers on that front
last June, when the great struggle
between Scissors and Rheims began,
than America had. And more than all
was their crushing defeat of the Aus
TRANS last October, compelling Aus
tria to surrender and isolating Ger
many. They. have won all they claim,
their claims, alongside those of
Poland and Rumania, are mild, and it
is sheer ingratitude on the part of
America nd the Allies to dispute
them.

lIampa 1ImeSl
Tallahassee, April 25.-With the
passage of resolution demanding an
accounting of expenditure by the state
board of health, the senate has open
ed up what might develop into one of
the most interesting situations grow
ing out of the convention of the pres
ent assembly.
For long time it has been known
that all was not what it should be
with regards the state board of health
and the health officer, DR.. ]. FL. Cox,
of Brooksville. That the senate in
Quiry might develop something In this
connection is not at all imprObable.
1t is said that the health board has
taken unto itself the entire response
bility of the health department. leav-
ing the health officer almost powerless
to initiate anything. Friends of DIR.
Cox assert that he is not even con-
suited in the mater of appointment OF
men who are expected to serve under
him and who are expected to co-ope-
rate in making his administration a
success. 1t is declared that the min
uGSS VI uAdl1y nASSbahSS VI hAAC DO@Ao
will show that the members have
failed to consult DR.. Cox on a single
question in deciding action on this or
that cause.
The state board of health is headed
by Charles Frecker of Tampa, and
it is charged that as head of the state
body he has caused to be brought to
Tampa at least two departments of
the health work which by all means
should be at Jacksonville, where the
headquarters of the health board are
located by statute.
1t is further charged by friends of
DR.. Cox that the health board is lit
tie less than a political organization,
meeting upon the merest pretext of
an excuse. 1t is pointed out that the
present board has held more meet
ings in it's less than two years of ex-
istence than the previous board of
health held in six years.
By constitutional provision there il
what is known as a one-mill tax for
health purposes and this fund is di-
rected by the state board. The senate
desires a detailed accounting of how
this money is being spent.
