STATE MAY BUY
SMALL RAILWAY
ockIawaha Valley Road viii Be Sold
December to Pay Taxes.
(speeiaI to The Journals

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 22.-The Ock-
lawaha Valley, a small railroad, here
tofore operated between Ocala and
Palatka, having failed to pay its taxes
for the past four years, on account of
being in the hands of a receiver, has
been levied on by the sheriff, and is
being advertised to be sold December
5th to pay it's taxes.
The court has authorized the re-
ceiver to issue receivers certificates to
be sold for the purpose Of paying its
taxes, but If no purchaser is found for
the same, and no one bids in the prop
erty at the tax sale, the state may have
to buy it in and thereby become the
owner of railroad.
The amount of taxes involved is
SIG, 900. for which the court has rem
dered judgment and ordered the road
to be sold. as stated. Since the road
has been in the hands of the sheriff It
has not been in operation, and shortly
after the levy was made the receiver
applied to Comptroller Ernest Amos for
permission to continue the operation Of
the road until it was sold, but permis-
sion could not be given, owing to the
fact that the matter was in the hands
of the sheriff making the levy. After
wards. the receiver requested permits
sion to be allowed to pay the taxes in
installments of $1,000 a month, upon
condition that he be permitted to con-
tinue to operate the road, which was
not granted for the reason stated, and
an arrangement to which the owners OF
the road objected to.
On Saturday morning Mr.. A Chris
Jensen, attorney for the railroad, APP
peared before the comptroller with
view of trying to make arrangements
to pay the taxes on the installment
plan and securing a release Of the road
from the levy which was not granted
Mr.. Amos holds the view that there is
no more reason for allowing a railroad
company to pay its taxes On the in
stallment plan than a small taxpayer
whose property is sold for taxes with
out question. and thereafter he is pen
allied by being required to pay heavy
rate Of interest to redeem it.
Mr.. Christensen stated that the pur-
pose of making arrangements with the
comptroller was to secure the release
Of the property in order that friendly
receiver would be appointed who would
apply to the interstate commerce COM
mission for permission to dismantle
and sell the property. and under the
circumstances Of the case Mr. Amos

and was knownland esteemed by every
citizen Of Holmes county.
The news of his death came as a

from the third district, composed or
Holmes and Walton counties. and when
the state tax commission was created

any public question. He was among
the first men to open a mercantile
business in Holmes county, and for the

POLO GROUNDS, New York, Oct.
John McGraw sent the Giants
into the third game Of the world
series this afternoon to "do their
stuff"
Stung to the quick by two shutout
defeats at the hands Of the cocky
Yankees, the McGraw men gri,nly
donned their home uniforms once
again with a more natural feeling
and determination to do or die.
Toney Will Pitch.

game, and q bright hot sun that
beat down relentlessly on the broad
expanse Of the Polo Grounds was all
In his favor.
Miller Higgins, foxy field general
Of the Yankees, was about to gamble
with McGraw today. With two games
In the bank and his two pitching aces
resting up for future activities, Hug
was expected to send Bob Shawkey
into the fray with no especial fears
should Bob the Cob fail to battle the
Giant batsmen.
Behind Shawkey, Huggins had Jack
Quinn, veteran exponent of the spit
ball, and a great finisher of games
He also had Harry Harper, strong
young forkhander. SO he should
worry.
Giants Disappointed.
No Giant sympathizer, not even
John McGraw, has been able to
fathom the wizardy Of the Yankee
pitchers to date, let alone understand
why they have been able to turn
back six 800 hitters in the Giant
lineup. 1t has simply been "one Of
those things from a Giant stand
point.
The Yanks and their proponents,
on the other hand. simply grin
broadly and murmur. Il told
you so.'
Yet with It all, It must be remem-
bered that the heavy artillery Of
the Yanks has been spiked by the
Giant pitchers, and everybody with
remnant of intuition looked for
something to break loose In the
way of heavy cannonading in to-
days game. The big sluggers rnust
