story and not snake story. The re-

is owned by Capt. Conova, who is the
lighthouse keeper.
Following is the story of the snake
fight:
The writer was interested Sunday in
a fight to the finish between rattle

the town. Whether or no these two
reptiles are always at enmity with
each other, or that they were contest

The huge RATHER lay coiled, the
blacksnake, about two feet distant,
was also coiled, his head elevated
about a foot, swaying to and fro.
Suddenly the RATHER would Spring at
its enemy who would dexterously par.
ray the strike and instantly circle the
RATHER with its body and squeeze, al
ways endeavoring to get as near the
neck of its adversary as possible.
Whenever the rattler would succeed
in biting the blacksnake, instantly it
would uncoil and dart in clump of
bushes. returning always eating a GER

When life was extinct the black
snake uncoiled itself, made a peculiar
noise and from clump of palmettoes
came half dozen little snakes about
four inches long, that disappeared
down the throat of its protector, who
glided into the thicket to nurse its
own wounds or to rejoice over its
victorious battle on the Eddy farm.

COLD WAVE HIT HARD
THE VEGETABLE. CROP
Beans and Irish Potatoes Suffered
Most, But There is Time to
RepIant for Spring

Sudden switching of the wind Sun
day morning, after forecast for warm
.er weather, prompted the weather bI-
reau to send out warnings of cold
wave to extend as far south as the
mainland of the peninsula, but it was
not possible for growers to protect
beans, which were up, or Irish pota-
toes, with the result that the frost and
freezing temperature of Monday
morning and Monday night wiped out
the bulk of plants in this and other
sections. The damage was cofined
largely to beans and Irish potatoes
planted for early spring, and will mean
that this part of the crop will be cut
Off. The bulk of the bean crop has
either just been planted, or was in
process of planting, hence the loss
will be confined to those growers who
anticipated getting products ready for
market earlier than the ordinary time.
Most of the growers of cucumbers
covered their plants, hence damage to
that crop is very slight. Tomato
plants also were saved by covering,
in beds, and cabbage did not suffer to
any appreciable extent, according to
reports.
Citrus fruit interests were not af-
fected Young trees were banked and
the cold was not so severe as to injure
bearing trees or the rruit on them.
The strawberry crop also escaped
serious damage; in fact, it is said that
there was practically no harm to ber-
ry plants or bloom, except in isolated
places where growers did not coy er
their plants.-Plant City Courier.

BRIDGE COLBY APPOINTMENT

The appointment by the president
Of Hon. cambridge Colby to be secre-
tary Of state, is said to come as sur
prise to Official Washington. and the
president is, of course, being criticised
by the republican and anti-Wilson
democratic press. Nothing he could
DO would please them any way and
so the president has nothing to lose.
He has tried out Mr.. Colby in other
positions of honor and trust during
and since the war, and was, there
fore, in position to know what he was
doing. The confirmation of his APP
pointment will. of course, be, fought
and. strange to say, his bitterest foes
viii be republicans. Yet cambridge
Colby has been a republican all his
life. AT least until he followed Roose-
welt into the Bull Moose party. The
republicans will undertake to FURNISH
him for that, although if Roosevelt
were still alive he would be the re-
publican nominee for president at the
coming Republican National Conyelf-
ton. The new appointee has affiliat.

BACK UNDER PRIVATE coNTRo.

1
The railroads are now back under
private control.
The criticism of the one has been
about on par with the other.
We hope that the experiment will
be productive of good.
We hope that the criticism from
now on will be from higher level
and will not reflect personal grievanc
es to such degree.
Discussing the return of the roads
from government control to private
control, The Railroad Trainman has
the following to say on the subject.
which ought to be more or less of gen.
Ieral interest:
This return of the railways and
their management under private con.
troll will have much to do with the at
tftude of the nation in regard to rail.

government took over the Transports
ton lines they were stuck fast in the
middle of winter, hampered By snow
blockades, rush shipments, and con-
gested terminals that made satisfac
tory service impossible The govern
ment, in assuming control, cut into
the regulations that prevented the
roads from doing what the govern
ment found to be necessary and which
had to be done if the railways were.

needed. The railroads failed under

There has been volume of criti

that the purposes of the government

dous numbers and amounts, and sup

our allies. soAwhen the entire question
of operation is fairly discussed it mus,
be. agreed that government operation
was not the failure critics would
have us believe.
The cost of operation to the .pubfie
has been stated times without mum
Der, but seldom has the emergency to
be met at any cost been stated, and
when railroad operation and cost are
compared with operation and cost of
other business under the same emer.
gency, the railroads come clean both
as to efficiency and expense. But the
public knows all about the railway
cost because congress, representing
the people, must provide the way for
the return of the roads, therefore, It
becomes more or less of political
question which is held up to the pub
lie for inspection and criticism, while
every ~other business goes its way
without objection or hindrance.

Last evening in the dining room OF
the Ocala House the Marion County
American Legion Post No. held is
regular monthly meeting, the attend
Eance being the largest gathering OF
the post since its organization, when
some fifteen or twenty ex-service men
met at the board OF trade rooms to or
ganize this post last April.
The main reason for such a large
attendance was the advance announce
ment that after the short business
meeting there would be a chicken
pillau, and a general invitation was
sent out throughout the city and coun-
ty to the legion members 70 come 20
his meeting and "aring your buddles
with you," and the invitation was &C.
copied by over one hundred ex-service
men, and the evening spent was tn
deed most pleasant one.
Post Commander Watt called the
post to order, and after roll call and
the reading and adoption OF the min
utes M. c. Izlar introduced a motion
changing the annual dues to start
with January each year instead of
April, which after a short discussion
was duly seconded and carried.
Commander Watt then announced
that the post would come to the most
important part of he program-that
supper would be served-ana turned
the meeting over to Mess Sergeant
Dozier, who gave comprehensive IN
structions that the repast was % BE-
served in strictly army style.
The menu consisted Of chicken pil-
lau (the best you ever ate). dough
nuts ljust like the ones served by the
Salvation Army girIs), lightbread.
crackers, pickles and coffee (better
than was ever served in the army.
The best part of the supper was that
there were plenty OF seconds" ana
thirds" and more If you wanted IL.
After all had been bountifully serv-
ed Commander Watt called the meet
ing to order and announced the two
speakers of the evening. Father Co
noley of Gainesville. and Rev. Neigh
Dor of this city.
Father Conoley is one Of the most
enthusiastic members OF the Ameri-
can Legion in this country. and all
who heard his excellent address Il
the Temple theater last November
were delighted with his talk on the
merits of the Legion, and last evening
his address was none the less enthd
siastic and will do much good for the
Marion county post.
Rev. tNeighbor was the tirst speaker
and while his address was short. =
was greatly enjoyed. Me said that
while waiting Tor his commission no
became impatient, gave up his pulpit
and volunteered. and while his tenure
of service in the army was short. hav'
ing been discharged for minor physi-
cal defects. he was proud TO have
worn the uniform.
At the conclusion Of the program
membership to the legion was opened
and there were some twenty new
members added to the post.
The legion is indebted 70 Mr. Louis
Lang for the splendid manner in which
the supper was prepared and served.
