governor has not shown any spite to-
ward this town and county. He had
been in office but a short time when
some of his partisans tried to GUST
our sheriff, who was well known to
be one of Knott's staunchest friends
and stoutest supporters. The COVER
nor. however, did not bow to the will
of his partisans, and Mr.. Galloway
has not been disturbed. Again, few
months ago, the resignation of Super
intendent Brinson, gave the governor
two county offices to fill, and he filled
them well, and with no reference to
partisanship. He has, of a truth,
treated our county better than al
most any other. 1t will not be many
months before a wave of oblivion will
roll over him, so it will be courtesy
and good policy to give him only
pleasant remembrance of what will
likely be his last public visit to our
city.

to say. Marion is not Cats county,
and it is therefore the more appro-
pirate that the people give the gov

no personal ill will for him. 1t must

THE OCALEEAN

We passed a very pleasant hour
Saturday evening. reading the Oca-
lcean, the Ocala High School Annual,
tho first copy of which for 1920 is
lust out. The Ocaleean is hand
some book, bound in regular board
covers, and as the school intends to
keep it up. file of it will make an
excellent addition to the library Oh
any scholar, teacher or friend OF the
school. 1t has 113 pages and they
have been excellently we'll filled by
the editorial staff, which consists OF
Miss Mildred Manning, editor IN
chief: assistant editors, Miss Ruth
Warner and Nathan Mayo; literary
editor, Estelle McAteer; business
manager, Robert Hall; assistant
manager, Robert Blake; athletic edl-
tor, Elizabeth Bennett; art editor,
Wilfred Harold.
The contents, both in reading mat
ter and illustrations, does great cred
it to the editors and contributors.
The most interesting of the lllustra-
tions are, of course, the portraits.
Their are pictures of the editorial
staff, the faculty, the graduates, the
juniors, the sophomores, Class A,
Glass B, the basket ball team. the
baseball team, officers of the boys
athletic association, the Glee Club. Of
ficers of the military company, Com
pany A, It A G Club, the board OF
trustees, a number of groups and
very clever sketches, the different
school buildings and several we'll Sc
lected pieces of scenery. Among the
literary features are "The Historic
Setting of Our Annual" by Miss
Helen Veal; the Seniors Prophecy,
very pretty little poem by Miss Win
ME Gordon; Class Poem by M. L. l..
"Freshmen of the o. H. S." Mis-
Mabel Goldman; GA High Schoo
Toast" Miss Maude Lillian Little
lode to Friendship" A. R. Buhrman
and a number of unsigned pieces.
Ry no means the least interesting
part of the annual is the advertise
ments, obtained with much hard worl
and diplomacy by Robert Hall, aides
by Robert Blake. Our merchant
patronized the Ocaleean to consld
erable extent and we believe they will
find themselves well paid.
All in all, the Ocaleean is mos
interesting publication and we hop
it will continue to be a part of tn
high school as long as that institu
tion, exists. 1t will pay the parent
of any child now in school to secur
for it copy each year until grad
uation. A copy every year woul
make a file of priceless merit. A
those who desire to obtain copies
the current issue should see Robel
Blake or Robert Hall at once.
The Ocaleean was printed by tn
Pepper Company of Gainesville.

The Star made an error Saturday
in speaking of the appropriateness OF
keeping Marshal Thomas in office un-
til the first of the year, whether he
won or lost in the primary. We had
forgotten that the marshal had not
been elected for this year. Mr.. Thomas
is not a candidate for the Office of mar
shall because he feels like it would lie
wrong for him to be candidate for
two offices at the same time. There
are two candidates for the office OF
marshal. One is Mr.. Virgins. whc
has been on the police force for some
time, and has made a very efficient Of
ficer. The other is Henry Gordon, the
veteran deputy sheriff, who has made
a good record as marshal of Dun
mellon, and sheriff of Marion county
and is now one of Mr.. Galloway:
deputies. The mayor and council

headlines of lesser degree, announcing
the double suicide of the prominent

of the great stage favorite Jackson Holt,

for the police. Two automatics had
been found, one shell discharged from
each. The police mad declared them in

no signs of death from any other pos

been found on the cabin table addressed
to the district attorney of New York

SEVERAL PERSONS
SEVERELY INJURED
Hail and Rain Does Damage to Crops
in Sumter and Clarendon
Counties.

A hail, wind and rain storm, six
miles wide and extending for about
forty miles in length, equal in pro-
portion to that of June 8, 1919, Mon
day visited the Tindal and Brogden
section and extended to Harvin and
Alcolu in Clarendon County, doing
great damage to all crops. The to-
bacco crop is reported to be a total
loss. Young cotton and corn is bad
ly damaged. The full extent Of this
damage cannot yet be fairly estimat-
ed, but some state that plant over
will be necessary.
Several prominent men travelling
in an automobile near Tindall suffered
severe personal injuries. Mr.. John A..
Mcknight of Sumter and Mr.. Dwight
Cain, who were travelling along the
road near Bethel church, were bruised
by hail stones, Mr.. Cain having been
beaten into Inconsistencies for sever
al minutes. It is said that some OF
the hail stones were as large as a
cup and many the size of the proverb-
ial hen egg.

HAVE NO CHOICE
South Carolina Democrats Open on
Presidential Race.

Columbia, April 27.-National poll
tics have not yet brought to a head
anv sentiment in South Carolina with
regard to the Democratic choice for
the presidential nomination, though at
some of the club meetings last Satur-
day night expressions were given. IN
a few cases McAdoo was endorsed as
candidate, according to advices reach
ing the Capital City from various
parts of the State. In others the SEN
timent was for uninstructed deiega-
tions, though in the large majority OF
cases there was no discussion OF the
nominee at all. There will be definite
expressions at the county club meet
ings on May 3.
So far very little attention has oeen
attracted to the State Democratic con-
'vention, which meets on May ~. Inc
question which at that gathering Will
likely receive the largest amount OF
attention will be that OF preparing 1ne
way for women's votes in the prlmar-
les, following ratification OF the SUI
frage amendment.
The main question for the State con-
vention. however, will be the election
of delegates to the national Demo
cratic convention in San Francisco IN
June. Senators E. D. Smith and N. B.
Dial, Governor Cooper and former
Governor Manning will likely be des-
ignated to attend the Frisco gather
ing, and they will probably be sent
without instructions.
Presidential sentiment was wavereo
in South Carolina. There was good
lv Hoover boom, until Hoover declared
himself Republican. There is a
good deal of Palmer strength IN tne
State and also a strong McAdoo tol-
lowing, though neither candidate mas
to make it apparent that ne Is the
South Carolina favorite, The strong
est probability, it seems, IS McAdoo

HOTEL INSPECTION
Score Cards for Rating South Carolina
Hostelires Being Prepared.

Columbia, April 27.-Score cards
for rating hotels, restaurants and pub
lie boarding houses in South Carolina
are being sent out now by the State
board of health, as required by the
new hotel inspection act of the recent
legislature. ]. W. Woodward, State
hotel inspector, is assisting in the dis
tribution.
The hotel law requires that every
transient hotel shall keep posted in q
conspicuous place list of charges,
and also the score caro-. of the State
board of health. This score card
shows how nearly the establishment
comes up to the requirements of the
inspection system.
The score card covers such points
of hotel sanitation, such as cleanliness
of floors, screening, cuspidors, ventila-
ton, adequate plumbing, individual
soap and towels, improper advertise
ments, educational placards, cleanli-
ness of attendants, fire escapes, clean
linen and safe milk and water supply.
1t will be possible for hotel or res
taurant to score 1000, which is per-
fection; though a score Of $50 is ex-
cellent; 750 to $50 is good; 600 to 750
is fair; below 600 is bad and preju-
dicial to health.
The State board of health is re-
ouired under the new law to inspect
every hotel and restaurant in the State
once a year at least. To each hotel
that comes up to the requirements OF
sanitation and service the board Of
health issues certificate, which shall
be posted conspicuously. The work Of
inspecting the hotels of the State is
now in progress. The inspection fee
is SO for hotels with ten to twenty
rooms; S. for twenty to thirty rooms;
$40 for thirty to forty rooms; SIS for
forty to sixty rooms; $40 for sixty to
100 rooms; $25 for more than 100
rooms. Each restaurant pays an IN
spSaion fee of $40.
