The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1920-12-22

Now comes the Tampa Tribune and
lectures the Star on its remarks last
week about g. B. Lane and the teach
ers of Florida, and the attempt to in
duce the legislature to further tax the
people for school funds. The Star has
found it is no use TO argue with the
Tribune on this subject, for it invar-
iably states something the Star didn't
think Of, let alone say, and argues
from that standpoint. The Star has
the unpopular habit Of thinking Of
the taxpayers, mostly men and women
with little homes and little money and
barely able to make both ends meet,
on whom falls the chief burden Of tax
alton. The Star has asked that the
system of education be simplified 50
there would not be so many books to
buy and SO many teachers to pay,
thereby enabling the teachers that
were employed to be paid better sal
aries. If we didn't know it ourself,
We have the testimony of compent and
honest teachers who say there are
several studies in the public school
system which are useless, or at the
lest non-essential. Another thing
we object to is special legislation for
teachers, making them a class to be
looked after by the state instead of
going out in the open and taking their
chances with men and women in other
callings. The Tribune says, The
average worker referred to by the
Star gets $208 month" The aver
age worker may receive that much a
month in Tampa, but the country over
he or she receives far less. When we
speak Of average laborers we do not
mean plumbers, auto mechanics, brick
layers or other aristocrats of toll
we mean the general public. White
teachers in Marion county receive $75
a month up-colored teachers $50 a
month up-principally up. and that is
more money on the average than is
earned by the people who are taxed to
pay them. If they want to make
more money, why don't they roll up
their sleeves when they pass sixteen
and learn some other business. This
talk about teachers being devoted to
their noble profession is mostly all
CUFF. They go into it because the
average high school girl can teach
children in the lower grades and can
keep up with the system more easily
than she can learn the ms and outs
of some business more trying on the
nerves and muscles, and after few
years at it she is like everyone else
in a rut that it takes a wrench to get
out of. The devotion" of teachers to
their calling was shown by their con-
duct during the war, when they de-
serted it by the hundred thousand for
something that paid better. All this
doesn't apply to the comparatively few
teachers who really love their profess
sion and devote their lives to it. Some
of these, almost every community
has, and they are not only honored
hut about as we'll off as anybody else
AS for Mr.. Lanes bill, little over
two years ago he was proclaiming
that the ten-mill tax would be enough;
now he wants a whole lot more, anC
now as then he is probably more con,
cerned about his own pay than that OF
anybody else-and that rule will ap,
ply to most of the bellwethers in the
Io6ucatiOnal flock

Quits Ministry to Pay Alimony.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. LIT is ex-
treme cruelty for minister to re-
main in his pulpit at s93 a month,
when he has a wife and five children
to support, common pleas Judge F.
C. Phillips declared in an opinion
handed down in a divorce suit filed
by Rev. BENJAMIN A. Sherwin against
his wife today.
Judge Phillips refused to grant
Rev. sherwin a divorce, and ordered
that he pay his wife $50 a month al
imony. Custody of their five children
was given to Mrs. Sherwin.
81 consider it extreme cruelty for
a man with a wife and five children
to remain at his job, even though 1t
be that of minister, which pays only
s93 a month. An able-bodied man
such as you are should have taken up
some other profession" Judge Phil
lips declared,
Sherwin now has secured employ
ment as machinist.

THE JENNYS FAIR.
Correspondent Tells OF Splendid Com
munity Enterprise.

Jennys, Nov. 12.-The community
fair here did Allendale county proud
today. The fruits of both field and
farm were marvels; specimens of
every product grown in South Car
olina was in evidence, and the speci-
mems were as fine as ever shown any
where in the state. .-
The ladies department was exqui-
site, works of art of every sort made
each booth a verita BILE dream, and in
going through them one would con-
clude that every lady in the county
was an artist in her line. Canned
fruits and vegetables were galore.
The live stock and poultry exhibit
was an eye-opener, showing that the
homes of Allendale county are well
prepared for Thanksgiving and
Christmas, so also for the whole OF
the new year 1921. And the bacon
booth was odorous with old hams and
meat products Of the seasons slaugh-
ter.
The exhibits Of free hand drawing
from the Fairfax academy deserves
special mention. The work looked
more like that of trained hands than
that of amateurs.
Two black opossums captured in
the Salkahatchie were on exhibit, and
wore a smile for every observer.
This specimen is very rare, for the
common opossum is grey. The pelt
of a hybrid animal, evidently cross
between the raccoon and red fox
attracted much attention. The red
fox is a newcomer here, being intro
duced by northern tourists winter
ing at Aiken.
Captain J. w. Jenny had on exhl-
bit the roll of the company in which

FIVE SEATS CONTESTED.
Democrats Will Hold 1872 Places in
the Next House.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Notice OF
five contests for seats in the next

A revised list of members of the
new house as reported by the clerk
of the house and based on unofficial
reports of the election, shows 302

house would be composed of 3O7 Re-
publicans, 127 Democrats and one

so alleges that many citizens were
not allowed to regiser. Sasportas does
not give any reason for his protest,
merely saying that he contests the
election, apparently on general prin-
ciples.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
FACES PROBLEM
MUST INDUCE UNITED STATES
TO ENTER.
Entrance is Vital.
Opinion Given by Honorio Pueryrre-
don, Ministers of Foreign
Affairs for Argentina.

Paris, Nov. 11.-One of the most
important problems to come before
the assembly of the league of nations
at it's coming meeting in Geneva will
be that of finding some way Of bring
ing the United States into the league;
in the opinion of Honorio Pueyrre-
don, Argentine minister of foreign
affairs, as expressed here today.
NJ. Pueyrredon, who is delegate
to the assembly, will leave for Gene
va Friday night and will appear be-
fore the assembled delegates as
soon as he can find an opportunity,
he said, to point out to them that the
participation of America in the league
is fundamental to the very existence
of that organization.
~ think it a great pity that the
United States is not already an ac-
tive participant in the league" he
said. while I do not say that the
league should be abandoned because
America has not joined it, l firmly
believe that the entrance is vital If
the league is to be virile function
ing body for the prevention of wars.
The country which has always
stood for and fought for right and
Justice and which must become a
party to the almost divine mission
which a real world league has before
it. MY trip to France and to the bat
tlefelds has simply made my conVlc-
tions firmer that there must be
league of nations l am afraid that
was has not been ended, but, On the
contrary, has just begun, and unless
a strong league is brought into ex-
istence the world will again see
struggle more frightful than the one
just finished.
II am a firm believer in the league,
if it is to be one of action, not OF
words, and in this express the views
of my countrymen.
"Just what can be done to bring
America into the league remains to
be seen, but the problem must be
studied and solution found. l may
suggest some plan, or just put an
idea into the heads of the delegates.
am going before the assembly with
this idea. l wish to say that no coun-
try has suggested the step. l am
merely doing what 1 regard as my
duty"

McLAURIN'S BANK
FOUND NOT SOUND
EXAMINER ORDERS INSTITUTION
LIQUIDATED.
To Ask Receiver.
Presidents Personal Liabilities and
Worthless Securities Causes
Action to be Taken.

Columbia, Nov. 14.-Close eXami-
nation of the affairs of the Mutual
Savings bank, of Bennettsville dis
closed that the institution was not
sound and petition 70 the circuit
court to appoint receiver will be
made during this week, State Bank
Examiner Craig announced upon his
return from Bennettsvlle yesterday.
This bank is the institution beaded
by Thomas B. McLaurin, who disap-
peared early last week and was not
found until several days later. l'
will be remembered that a note was
found on the river bank at BleWett
Falls, N. c., which indicated that the
bank president had committed sui
eide.
Following this note several days
were spent in search of the missin
man until he was located in Atlanta
and was carried TO a sanitarium N
North Carolina by members of the
family, where he is now, it is said.
Immediately after Mr.. McLaurin's s
disappearance it was feared that the
financial status of the bank was DoE
sound and James H. Craig, state bank
examiner, went TO Bennettsville to
examine the books Of the institution.
Mr.. Craig returned yesterday and his
report shows that the bank president
had made loans apd transactions that
were unknown to the directors and
that did not appear as liabilities.
Mr.. Craig yesterday conferred with
Attorney General Wolfe as to the ap-
pointment of a receiver and these two
officials will go before the nearest
circuit Judge during the week to ask
for a receiver. In the meantime the
bank will remain closed.
"My examination disclosed that
the bank was carrying as security,
to loans certificates of the Benefits
vile warehouse which were bogus or
worthless, Mr.. Craig said. I'VE fur
Their found that the president had
made large personal obligations to
the bank and with other banks and
parties for his own benefit which he
indorsed as president of the bank, but
which he concealed from the liablll-
ties of the bank
aside from the worthless securi-
ties, pledged in the form of worth
less certificates, and the personal liza
bilities of the president, the bank
was found solid These, however
were of such proportions that with
the approval of the board Of directors
we decided to close the bank. IT the
president and his family were to
make good these worthless securities
and hidden liabilities, the depositors
could be paid in full" the state ex-
aminer said.

New Source of Food.

The common cattail (Typha lati-
folia) has been developed into use
fulness through eGrmany's period of
scarcity. The leaves contain about
33 per cent. Of fiber, which is some
what less fine and white than cotton
and nettle fbers, but by improved
manufacture is claimed to be proving
equal to wool for many purposes. Be-
sides this fiber, the plant has large
food supply. It's roots yield 25 or 80
per cent. Of starch and sugar, and this
is found suitable for use by man as
well as by cattle.
