GEORGE GILES

Ocala lost a good and useful man
when George Giles passed away at
his home her at 8 o'clock this morn
ing He had been i'll for a long time
but with staunchness and good spirit
attended to business almost to his last
day.
George Giles came here from the
British Indies when a young man.,
more than twenty-five years ago. AL
ways hard worker and good business
man, he set up for himself at once
and prospered from the first. Altho
engaged in a number of enterprises,
cotton chiefly engaged his attention.
He had friends among the business
men in New York, and at the time of
the country's greatest depression was
able to obtain a good market and fair
prices for the staple. lister he put in
cotton gin and some six or seven
years ago he established a knitting
mill which has always been busy and
successful.
Giles was a man who had the re-
spect and confidence of the people of
Ocala. His own race looked up to
him as leader and benefactor. The
white people considered him a man
who could always be depended on in
every good work. His shrewd and
careful business methods helped
many by enabling them to help them
selves. He always did his part in
enterprises for the public good, and
he did his bit during the war by aid
ing in every patriotic work.
He leaves beside his wife two sons
the elder of which. ]. P. Giles, engag-
ed in the management of the Ocala
Knitting Mill. was in the army during
the war; the younger, Philip, stud,
ent in Tuskegee. and a daughter
Lethia.
At this writing the date of the
funeral is not known, it depending or
the arrival of his younger son. He
will be buried here. and it is probable
that Rev. l.. H. Kirkby will preside, a!
Giles was a lifelong member of the
| Episcopal church.

this there has been constant agita-
tion for further improvement, and
those outside of the good roads sys-
tenn have demanded its extension from
time to time until the demand now is
practically universal. In my exper-
fence | have found no objection to
bonding for good roads as a matter
of principle. The objections are based
generally on the fear that the work
will not be justly distributed, and
that the money will not be wisely ex-
pended. Our committee had this
question in view throughout all of its
deliberations, and in our recommen-
dation we have endeavored to throw
every safeguard that is possible
around the handling of the public
fund, in recommending especially a
thorough and competent county engi-
neer.
AS a recognition of the services of
our committee, it may not be out of
place for me to say that the board of
county commissioners has continued
US as a permanent advisory commit
tee to assist the board, the engineer
and the bond trustees in the consid-
Grafton of questions that will be con-
stantly coming up if we carry the
bond election and embark on our pro-
ject for agood road system in Marion
county.
l urge all citizens to give this i'm
portant subject serious consideration,
and if they are not in favor of a bond
issue, and have some specific reasons
for their attitude, that they will not
jump to a hasty conclusion, but will
consult with any member of our COM
mittee at any time for information
that may satisfy them and cause
them to become boosters. We will
also ask the press to assist this cam
paign in spreading all information
possible and urging the need of a good
road system. Good roads mean more
people, more settlers. more land buy
ers, more tourists. All this means
greater production of farm products
for home consumption, not to say
anything of what will be exported.
As above indicated, inc due course
of time the county commissioners will
publish the regular call for the cleo
tion, together with certain resolutions,
giving in detail the plans for good
road construction which | have out
lined, so that every voter can inform
himself thoroughly on this question.

AN USEFUL OUTFIT

Few people realize just what a
complete welding outfit is to be found
in Ocala until they have been up
against proposition that means the
saving of hundreds of dollars. A man
had his engine base of his car literal
Iy broken to pieces several days ago
by running into another auto, and had
visions of having to buy almost new
car. However, when Mr.. Gene Mel
son at the Ocala Gas Engine Works
welded it together in such a manner
as to make it as strong and sub
stantial as ever the car owner was
delighted" to learn that his expense
was less than one-fourth what he an
ticipated.

London, Oct. 16.-Forced back on

FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR GOAL
Marion County Drive for Y. M. c. A.
Funds for Our Boys

The county and local executive
committees have accepted as a goal
for Marion county, the sum of $4,000.
The city committee will endeavor to
raise $4,000 of this amount in Ocala.
Beginning Monday, Oct. goth. the
various committees will solicit funds
throughout the city and county. and
we earnestly hope our citizens will
respond in the same liberal spirit
which has characterized them in SIM
liar campaigns during the past three
years.
In order that the people may get
some idea how their money will be
spent, we give below some few items
from the Boys Work Program as out
hIed for the next twelve months:
The Boys Work Program includes:
holding older boys conferences in the
various districts of the state to de-
velop Christian leadership among
boys; organizing and supervising Hi
y clubs in the high schools of the
state; directing an annual camp for
older boys at Lake Istopogayoxee for
service training; inaugurating the
Program for Christian Citizenship
Training" for boys throughout the
state; cooperating with the govern
ment in extending physical fitness and
health education; promoting thrift
through special campaigns inaugural
Ell by the government; promoting fell
lOwship of men and boys by the an
nual father and son dinners.
County organization work is the
method by which rural counties will
be occupied. II co-operates in rails
ing funds to employ a county secre-
tary for each county. 1t studies coun-
try life and co-operates with existing
agencies for rural betterment. 1t in
tensities the activities for boys work
through the county secretary. 1t en-
lists men in community service foI
Christian work with the churches. II
organizes play and introduces rec
reative games in rural schools. The
county secretary develops leaders fol
organized groups of men and boys.
The Florida State Young Men:
Christian Association aims to assist
the home, the church and the natior
in building up an intelligent manhood
by beginning with the boy so soon Il
become a man. No other movement
is so massing its work on the adoles
cent boy. The program is adapted t.
the needs of the whole boy, and seeks
to increase the holding power of tn,
home, church and school from which
he tends to break away. To help tn,
boy "grow in wisdom and stature anC
in favor with God and man" is tn
supreme task to which the Youni
| Mems Christian Association addresse
itself. For over 70 years it has spec
ialized in work with young men an
boys, developing and training men fo
this particular type of work. 1t seek
TO render its maximum service to tn
boy at the point Of his greatest nee
by directly touching his life, or by in
directly touching his life throug
other agencies.
We appeal to our people to Civ
every possible support to this wor
} which promises to mean so much t
the boy life of this community.

ne opening OF the lobby, parOr and some
Of the sleeping rooms at Hotel St. Mary's while
Court is In session this week has already proved
a great convenience, and this has been especial
ly so as regards the comfort of lady visitors to-
the county seat. 1t looked good to see them
sitting In circle In front Of the open FIRE In the
lobby or grouped in the parlor and on the big
verAnda, and had permission to open the doors
been obtained earlier so that the fact might have
been advertised, their numbers would have been
greatly augmented. 1t would be difficult to es
innate the number of men who came to Court
without their wives or daught because the
closing of the hotel had deprived them of the
facilities tor proper accommodation.
While the hotel has on y been opened under
a temporary agreement with Mr.. w. Bernard
Duke, the owner, pending the organization of
the County Club, it would seem pity to close
ii up again, when little cooperation on the
part Of the people would keep it open. That
it is badly needed is admitted by practically
every one. This modern building, commodious
and wellequipped. should be the social centre
Of the county. the gathering place for people
from every section, whether their mission to the
county seat is one Of business or pleasure, or
both. 1t could be made all of this and more if
it is controlled by countrywide organization
and administered by competent Board of d.
reCtors.
The club idea is the only one worthy con-
sideration, and it has been adopted after care
ful consideration and much discussion. A stock
company is adaptable only to strictly business
proposition and it must have some assurance of
dividend-paying possibilities. A club is not ex-
pected TO pay dividends; it fully iusti6es its ex-
istance when it renders the service for which i'll
is organized, and there is no doubt that this
hotel, operated through the agency Of a good.
strong club that includes in its membership the
representative people Of the county, Can give to|
St. Marys countians and to the visiting public
the service, accommodation and modem con-
veniences that have been so sadly missed during
the past fall and winter
The hotel is partly open, the public rooms
are right now available for use and some of the
sleeping rooms are ready for occupancy.
This much has been gained by the club
movement. I he only logical thing to do is to
hold what we have--keep it open as it is now
until a competent man can be secured to resume
the dining room service. This can be done BY
completing the work Of organizing the club.
With the building open and lodging facilities
furnished the chances to secure the night man to
take charge Of the meal service will be greatly
increased. In the meantime the club quarters
can be fitted up and the revenue from rent Of
sleeping rooms, considering the conveniencesl
that 60 with them, should at least defraav the
cost OF this partial operation.
