SUPPER FOR MAJOR BUTLER
AND MISS THORNHILL

The members OF the Ucala Dental
Association gave supper last night
in honor of Maj. H. B. Butler and Miss
Belle ThornhiII, Of the United States
Public Health Service, who, by request
d the Parent Teachers Association,
were sent here to give the children of
the city instruction in the care of
their teeth.
Major Butler and Miss Thornhill
have had busy week, instructing the
hundreds of children of the city in
one of the most important duties to
themselves. and one the necessity of
which has only recently been realized.
The public schools have been the med
iums of exchange for instruction and
its reception, and the teachers have
most thoroughly entered into the
spirit of the work. Major Butler is
an enthusiast in the beneficial science
of dental care, and Miss Thornhill is
charming as well as skillful instruc-
tor, winning the hearts of the children
as soon as they see her
The supper was given at the Har-
rington. The dentists invited the
physicians of the city to meet the
honor guests. and all responded except
those who were unavoidably detained.
A long table was daintily arranged in
the Harrington's handsome dining
room, and to it sat down shortly after
eight O'Clock, DR. Clifford Aver, presi-
dent of the dental association, DIR.

Henry and Star reporter, who wasn't
any doctor at all, but, mighty well
pleased to find himself in such distin-
guished company.
The supper was excellent and full
justice was done to it. When the
viands had been disposed of, cigars
and cigarettes were lit, Miss Thorn
hill, and Miss Marshall, both being
good soldiers. not Directing, and a
good two hours followed of animated
conversation in which the scientific
blended with the social in harmonious
measure. Papers were read by Maj.
Butler and Miss Thornhill, introduc-
ing subjects that we're animatedly dis
cussed. The reporter felt like two
spot of clubs in a bunch of aces and
face-cards, and wished he was die
taphone, so he could have preserved
most of the conversation for the bene-
fit of the public.
The party dispersed at II o'clock,
with sincere good wishes on both sides,
and hopes that the guests would make
cher visits to. Ocala in the future
hey will leave for another point OF
duty tomorrow and Ocala's good
wishes will go with them.

that transpired at these conventions.

in regard to the convention presided
over by Mr.. Hines and the Sumter
delegation insisting on the nomina-
ton of Capt. Baker for senator; and
/ remember there was strong opposi-
ton to him from Marion county, The
matter of alternating the counties

choose the senator at that time That
seemed to be the reasonable thing to
say, when we were contending that
If was our time to name the senator.
And if Capt. Baker had not been NOM
mated Sumter would have been disap-
pointed with the action of the conven-
ton, as her delegates firmly believed
that it was her time by agreement to
name the senator. And the alterna-
tion of Marion and Sumter in naming
the senator has been going on ever
since the compact or agreement was
entered into, more than thirty years
ago. am not in position to say
what Sumter has done for Marion in
the matter of election for senators. /
know this, we have always stood by
ard worked for any man that was put
forward for senator from Marion, as
Marion would for a Sumter man, and
I can say the same thing for Marion
towards a Sumter man. This shows
conclusively that there was some kind
of compact or agreement entered into
by Marion and Sumter in alternating
the senators, and it has worked in a
spirit of fairness and harmony be-
tween the counties all the time, except
or. one or two occasions, like at the
convention when Capt. Baker was
nominated. And that was only momen-
tary, for as soon as he was declared
the nominee, peace and good will
reigned supreme. Since then every
thing has worked smoothly along po-
litical lines between Marion and Sum-
ter counties. In the matter of alter
mating senators from this district,
have always understood that the SEN
ator would alternate between the two
/ counties. If this agreement has been
abolished, | have no knowledge of it.

reason for Mr.. Wicker writing the
