BLACK DIAMONDS DELIVERED
AS BILLED
EAERCISES AT THE
STATE PRISON FARM

At the state prison farm at Raj
ford Saturday night, December 18th,
the Glee Club from Gainesville,
composed of students of the Universi-
ty of Florida, and young ladies from
that city, gave fine program to the
inmates and attaches of the state
prison. The program consisted of
vocal and instrumental selections and
short talks. The young ladies and
men fl ON the University City are
gifted With rare entertaining talents
and the evening was most enjoyable
for the Sc at the state farm.
These Saturday evening entertain
ments, which are held in the new au-
ditoriu1n, have become a regular part
of the prison life ever since Superin-
tendenc Bitch has been in charge.
They have proven to be a wonderful
help a. d inspiration to the men and
women inmates. The entertainmenI
Sat1rd; night was possibly the best
given yet.
One Of the features of the evening
was tie announcement of Superin-
terdent Bitch, who has just returned
from Tallahassee, where the pardon
board was in session, that a number
OF .pardons had been granted. When
these names were announced there
was genuine rejoicing among all to
know of their fellow inmates good
fortune. Several of those receiving
pardons made short but happy good
bye talks, thanking the management
for the good care and friendship Of
the past eighteen months.
Life at the prison farm this Christ
mas W II be quite contrast to that
in many prisons of this country.
There ne inmates are as contented as
human beings can be who are serving
prison sentences. They are well fed
ard cared for. have sufficient work
to do and are surrounded with an
environ ment that makes them better
men aid women.
Fine crops have been made this
year at the farm. new departments
are CO tinually being added, and the
time is here when the prospective
homese eker from other states can find
no better evidence of what can be
done Oh Florida soil, than to make a
trip to the state prison farm at Raj
ford.
The entertainment for Saturday
night Cf this week will be featured
by a minstrel gotten up by the in
mates. S. H. Bitch.

LIGHT FIGURES ON
THE BOND ELECTION

Editor Star: The people living
along the Dixie Highway should know
these facts and figures:
Mcintosh precinct in 1915 had OCT
people; Reddick precinct had 1927 at
the same time; Martin had 719; Ken
drick had 800; Belleview had 1851;
Lake Weir had 367; Stanton had $40;
Sun1merfield had 1872. and Ocala had
527O, a total of 1928, or three
sevenths of the entire population of
the county living in these nine pre-
cif4cts that the Dixie Highway passes
through.
Superintendent Brinson furnished
me with q statement of the sub-school
taxes paid in the year 1918, and in
cluding Summerfield and Martin, and
other territory along the Dixie High
way, not included in Mr.. Brinson's re-
port. The figures prove that the nine
precincts pay fully one-half of the
taxes of the county.
The defeated bond issue called for
but $500,00O for the Dixie Highway
and $1,000.G00 for the balance of the
county. This was good for the county,
but tough for the taxpayers along the
Dixie Highway.
Seven out Of nine precincts voted
514 for bonds, 272 against bonds.
More than half Of the voters who
voted in the bond election voted in
baese nine precincts.
Two precincts along the Dixie High
way gave majority Of "a against
bonds, showing a majority of 242. or
nearly two-thirds for bonds.
These figures prove that the tax
PAYERS who live along the Dixie High
way wanted to meet the federal and
state aid proposition and to have
good and lasting good road built.
These figures prove that the voters
living along the Dixie Highway were
willing TO be taxed more than their
share to have good roads in other sec
ticns of the county.
! respectfully cali cn the voters who
live in these nine precincts 20 petition
the county commissioners to call an
o5her sub-road district bond election,
including the election precincts of Nc
Intosh, Reddick. Martin, BellevieW.
Summerfeld. Lake Weir, Kendrick,
Ocala and Stanton and no other terri
tory, and no other road included in
the bond election.
A bond issue of this kind for $780,
0OG will save the taxpayer along the
Dixie Highway quite sum compared
to the defeated bond issue.
! My reasons for only wanting this
one road included is because the ma
jority of the voters on every other
road of Importance voted against
bonds in the last election. and they
should have what they voted for. An
other reason why want bond cleo
ticn soon. is because the lime rock
that is now being used on the Dixie
Highway will be too costly to keep in
good condition with the heavy travel
now going over this road, as the fed
eral and state governments proposed
to bear half the expense, thereby les
sening the cost to the taxpayer of the
proposed bond district fully one-half.

county to prove that good roads built
