Prophecy As to Haig's Advancement
 is Literally True

London, Jan. 6.-The prophecy of Thomas the Rhymer, who wrote "Tyde whay may betyde, Haig shall be Haig of BBemersyde," bids fair to be fulfilled. A movement is on foot here to purchase the Scottish es- tates of Bemersyde together with the historic mansion and present them to Earl Haig. (who adopted the designation of Earl Haig of Bermer- syde on his elevation to the peer age) as record of the British peo- ple's admiration for his triumphant leadership of the British armies dur ing the war. The property is now owned by Lieut.-Col. A. B. Haig.
 It was to Bemersyde where Turn CT, the painter, was taken by Sir Walter Scott, the poet, for the pur- pose of making drawings to illus trate the scenery of Scott's poems.
 The estates, which include the famous mansion, have an area of 1906 acres and the market value is put at $268,O00 for which sum 1t has been decided to appeal. They have been owned and occupied by the Haigss continuously for more than seven centuries.
 Bemersyde is situated in the par ish of Mertoun, Scotland. in the very center of a district which for more than 300 years was the battle ground of two hostile nationalties as well as the scene of almost never ceasing internal conflict, rapine and dissension.
 Of the hundreds of forts and cas- ties which once existed on the Scot tish side of the border, Bemersyde is the only one that is still inhabi- ted as manorial residence and in- habited, too, by the family that were it's original founders. Bemer- syde House itself stands on an ele- vated rocky bluff overhanging one of the most beautiful reaches of the river Tweed. On the opposite bank of the river is the promotory of Old Melrosc, the spot on which the Sax on disciples of Aidan, more than 1900 years ago, uplifted the symbols of Christianity.
 Contributions towards the pur- chase of the estatdVAre to be ac- cepted by every bank in England.

OILWAY EXPERIMENTS

Judging by the looks of the piece
of road that the county commission
ers are experimenting with, out on
Orange avenue. the method of COM
pressing sand into oil is going to be
of great use. The plan is to lay a
coat of oil and then drive a coat of
sand into it with the road roller, then
another coat of oil and another
layer of sand, all crushed together
with the roller. until it is like long,
thick, rather springy rug. 1t looks
like it's going to be a success. The
commissioners have bought uptodate
machinery, which will enable them to
economic greatly on man-power, and
it's our opinion 1921 is going to be an
era Of road improvement in this
county.

CARE NEEDED ABOUT
THE FIRE CRACKERS

All boys like to shoot off firecrack-

the days when the pop Of a fire.

sounds. A boy has to use discrimi-
nation, however, in shooting fire.
crackers IL a town, or he will cause
other people loss or involve himself
in trouble. Some of the boys in
Ocala have been careless or even mis-
chievous in choosing a place to throw
crackers, have annoyed citizens and
put property in danger. This should
be stopped-the boys should have
enough sense of good citizenship to
stop it themselves, and if they or
their parents won't or can't stop it,
the police should try. We think the
ordinance should be changed and boys
allowed to shoot their frecrackers on
the public square. and the wide, paved
BUSINESS streets. The present ordi-
nance drives the boys into the back
streets or vacant lots, where there Is
often infammable material. When
the existing ordinance was passed,
the square and principal streets were
constantly traversed by vehicles
drawn by horses, which were fright
ened and often ran away when they
heard cracker explode. Now, it is
seldom that horse passes. We are
sorry to add that the trouble in this
respect and some others is increased
by several boys who are rather more
than mischievious. If the police will
look them up and give their fathers
the choice between administering
strap oil to their boys or paying fines
for them, we are sure the trouble will
be ameliorated.
