economical truck drivers would be il

the sort that penalties shortcomings.

1t is vitality important to trim cuts as

this is not done the torn rubber or flag"
as 1t is called, catches as the wheel re-
wolves and the cut Is rapidly enlarged.
To stop a cut charging on the edge of a
tire 1t should be bevelled off with a
sharp knife. Neglected cuts sometimes
enlarge so rapidly that the loose end
catches in the frog of a trolley track
and the entire tread is ripped off. 1t
should be maze practice to go over
the tires once n day and trim all cuts
to prevent their developing into bigger
ones.

MOTOR TRUCK TIPS.
Look Here First.

Motor truck drivers should be taught
that when the truck stops suddenly in
the road. from no apparent cause, the
first place to look for the cause of trou-
BILE is in the fuel tank. On recent &C.
casion Of sudden apparently causeless
stoppage of truck a conference of FIVE
passing drivers got nowhere, and finally
passing motorist made the discovery
that the fuel tank was empty. Impress
this on your drivers: Look first into the
gas tank.

COUNTIES NEED CoNvIcTs

The following resolution will be
presented by the legislative commit
tee of the Blitchton Democratic Club,
consisting of ]. W. Coulter, chairman,
A G. Mckay and j. B. George:
Whereas, the opinion prevails that
the legislature now in session will
abolish the leasing of convicts, there
by releasing many able-bodied pris-
oners for highway Improvement, and
it is known that influences are ope-
rating to give the state highway COM
mission control and management of
the entire convict force so released;
and,
Whereas, it is our opinion that such
authority would subordinate commu-
nifty (local) needs to the building of
great thoroughfares, thereby benefit
ing the few at the expense of the
toiling masses, this practice having
obtained in Marion county since the
organization of the highway COM
mission; and,
Whereas, the agricultural interest
Of every county is paramount to all
others, being the basic foundation of
advancement in the commercial world,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we petition the leg
islature of Florida, in enacting legis-
lation for the disposition of the state
convicts, to provide that counties de-
string them shall have such number
as to them may seem fair under au-
thority of county commissioners, as
local needs can by them be best sub
served.

SHOT BY HIS SON
Edward SnOwden Died an Hour After
Receiving the Fatal Wound


Ocala has not had tragedy fol
some time, so it was greatly shocked
this morning to awake to one the ele.
ments of which were more than usu-
ally distressing.
Edward A. Snowden. who has been
running barber shop on North Mag.
nolia street, went home intoxicated
late last night, and soon after be-
came angered with his family and
Miss Mollie Stone, a lady who lives
in the same house. He resorted to vio-
lence and after abusing and frighten-
ing his wife and children, attacked
Miss Stone and tried to choke her. Al
this point, sSnowden's Oldest son, Ed
ward, 15-year-old boy, after trying
other means to check his fathers
rage, took a shotgun and fired at him.
1t was the boys intention, he said, to
shoot his father in the legs, so as to
temporarily cripple him, but in his
excitement he aimed too high and the
load went into Snowden's body about
his hip, making a dreadful wound.
Physicians were called at once, but
Snowden died in an hour. /.
Edward A. Snowden has been in
Ocala, in the barber business for
some time He was a good barber and
n good citizen and kind to his family
when sober. Liquor always threw
him off his balance so his family and
friends were afraid of him when he
was intoxicated. He had remained
sober for months, and his family
thought he had conquered his craving
for drink. Yesterday, however, he i'm
bibed of dilution of bay rum, the
most deleterious of all substitutes for
whisky, and the tragedy resulted.
The Snowdens live in Captain Tuck
err cottage out on East Seventh
street, and Miss Stone also has a room
in the same house. Captain Tucker
was away from home last night, else
the trouble might have been averted.
An inquest was held this morning
before Justice Jeffcoat. The jurors
Messrs. c. A. Fort, A. S. Burgess
Thomas Sexton, R. L. Carter, Jules
Cohn and Henry Hinton. brought in
verdict justifying the boy for the
deed he had been forced to commit.
Snowden's remains were taken ir
charge by Jordan & Company, and by
them will be taken tomorrow morning
to Oxford, where the funeral service:
will be held at 10 a. m.
Snowden's family consisted of hi:
wife and three children-Edward
aged Is, who fired the fatal shot, Pau
IA and Marie II, all bright children
The family is heartbroken and the
dreadful event will cast a shadow
over the boy who thru no fault of hi:
own found himself suddenly confront
ed with such dreadful alternative
They have the heartfelt sympathy ot
| many friends in their sorrow.

LEESBURG HONORED
SENATOR FLETCHER
SENATOR TELLS OF HIS FIGHT
TO SECURE OKLAWAHA
APPROPRIATION

The four representatives from the
Marion County Board of Trade who
went to Leesburg last night to attend
the dinner given in that city for Sen
ator Duncan u. Fletcher, in apprecia-
ton Of his work for the development
of the Oklawaha river, returned early
this morning.
The dinner was held In the dining
room of the Lake View hotel, and was
attended by the prominent men of
Leesburg and by four representa-
tlves each from the towns of Lake
county, from Ocala and from Center
Hill. Senator Fletcher's speech was
the feature of the occasion and was
warmly received. The Marion Coun-
ty Board of Trade was represented by
Messrs. John h Taylor, chairman of
the board of directors; ID. E. McIver,
chairman of the transportation COM
mittee; Jake Brown, chairman Of the
civic committee, and Louis H. ChazaI,
secretary.
Senator Fletcher told of his fight to
get the appropriation of sos, 900 for
the Oklawaha. He explained that no
item went into the rivers and harbors
bill unless first approved by the dis
trict engineer, the board of engineers
for rivers and harbors survey, the
chief of engineers, u. S. A, and the
secretary of war. The Oklawaha pro-
ject, the senator said, had this ap-
proval, and for this reason it was diff
ficult to understand the fight which
certain senators and representatives
made against it. Senator Fletcher
said that he had finally succeeded in
getting the $4,000 for the purpose
getting enough water in the river in
order that commerce might be de-
veloped "to prove that the project is
a. good one" The lock which will be
put it at Moss Bluff will be made
large enough to provide ultimately
for the six-foot channel. so feet wide.
The representatives from the Mar
ion County Board of Trade told Sen
ator Fletcher and those attending the
dinner that 0cala and Marion county
were ready to cooperate with them
in the work to bring about the ulti-
mate development of the river from
the St. Johns to the lakes. The peo-
pie of Leesburg and Lake county are
heart and soul behind the proposition
ard are determined to see it through.
