The Advocate is not much more I'M

has received in the last few months
copy for three or four full-page oil
advertisements, good pay, higher
than its regular rates, being offered
for each. To every one of these ad-
vertisers the Star has sent the reply
that it would print the advertise
ment, on one condition; that condi-
ton being that on it's editorial page,
on the same date with the advertise
ment, the Star would print a brief
notice calling attention to the ad., but

McCONATHY'S LETTERS

Judge McConathy has written two
letters and certain people profess to
be surprised because the Star has not
published them, and accuse it of be-
ing unfair.
\ 1t is the rule of the Star to allow
man an answer to every accusation
brought against him in its columns.
There are, however, exceptions to all
rules. When Judge McConathy wrote
the McGahagin letter, in which he
slandered. the honorable dead, he put
himself outside the Stars considera-
ton.
His two letters were not attempts
to right himself. They were some
more political propaganda, on the line
of his letter to McGahagin, and were
but little more than an attempt to
disseminate said propaganda to the
voters at the Stars expense. AS Mr..
Mayo is paying for all his letters, and
all letters written in his behalf, it
would have been very unfair to let
Met onathy publish free letter in
behalf of tMcGahagin.t Yet that is ex-
actly what his letters amount to.
About the only thing McConathy
| said to defend himself against the
Stars charge was to allege that he
had received his information from
another man. Mr.. McConathy knows
that is no excuse in law and is con-
sidered worthless in politics. The
other man says he did not give Nc
Conathy any such information. His
word is as good as McConathy's. The
Star had no right to publish McCon-
athy's letter, attacking another man.
About everything that McConathy
wrote to the Star has been communi-
Gated to the voters thru the McGaha-
gin letter, and orally by McGahagin
and his supporters.
There is one thing, however, in Nc
Conathy's last letter that the Star has
no objection to communicating to its
readers. 1t is where he says: 81 am
quite sure you do not believe this OF
me, but you have been prompted to
this by some influence you could not
resist"
| To this the Star makes no reply
Anybody who wants to believe it is
welcome to do so.

WHAT NOT TO Do

We, in common, doubtless, with
many other citizens of Marion county,

lease where you stand very likely

not break you if you lose it and it's
the only way a poor man can ever
climb the ladder of fame. You must

procuring an option on a block of 100
acres in Houston county, around
which several wells are drilling, and
invested $500 of my hard-earned
money, and / now find that l must
raise more money with which to finish
paying for it. This lease carries
seven-eights of the entire production -
Following this is glowing offer to
give US big money, perhaps, for the
ten-dollar bill, if we send it to Mr..
Wilson.
We have more uses for a ten-dollar
bill than a dog has fieas. But one of
the uses for which we haven't it is to
send it to Mr.. Wilson or any other
man we don't know, to invest in a
scheme we know nothing about. Com
pared with the security Mr.. Wilson
has to offer, the Louisiana lottery
| was a cinch.
We have turned Mr.. Wilson's let
ter over to the postoffice department.

PRESIDENT CHAZAL

The state convention of the Florida
Commercial Secretaries Association,
which met in st. Petersburg last week,
elected as its president Louis H. Cha
zal, secretary of the Marion County
Chamber of Commerce.
A wise choice There is no more
thoughtful and energetic worker for
the state of Florida, as well as his own
county, than Louis H. Chazal. We
don't know that he ever read the verse
in the old-time second readers, but he
acts it:

ELMER L. RIkER

Sparr, June 3.-Softly, as the
shades of night began to fall, on
Wednesday evening, May 10th, the
angels of mercy began to hover about
the bedside of Elmer Louis Riker, the
husband and father of the home, and
few minutes after nine o'clock re-
leased the brave young spirit from the
disesse-raked body, and bore it gently
and lovingly to the bosom of the
Heavenly Father.
How sad the home now is to the de-
voted young wife and the little son
and infant daughter. bereft, so early
/ in life, of their dearest loved one.
Elmer's was an exceptional life of
service, in the home and for his coun-
try. He was among the first boys to
volunteer from our little community
and all through the bloody struggle
served his country faithfully and well.
A hero in the truest sense of the
word, for it was his sad lot. while
serving his country, to contract the
severe and lingering disease from
which he never recovered.
Patient and hopeful. he ever showed
that deeply consecrated spirit which
only those made perfect through suf-
fering can fully know. He wanted to
live for his young family's safe, but
and relief, like the Master in the gar
den, he evinced that same gentle spirit
| of resignation.
All was done for him that medical
skill and loving hands could do, but
the Master saw yet a better place for
him to fill in the house of many man
sions and now another faithful ser
want has entered on his eternal re-
ward.
Elmer's was strong, friendly ma
ture, and he won for himself many a
valiant friend here in his home town,
and among others whose pleasure it
was to know him personally.
The last sad service was held at the
Methodist church, among a host of
friends who gathered to pay last tri-
butte to one they loved. Rev. Mann,
his pastor. was assisted by Rev. Boat
right and mingled with their words
of Christian comfort, were the sweet
songs by the choir and the silent
players of many faithful friends of
the afmily. The body was laid to rest
in the Anthony cemetery beneath
mound of beautiful roses and Easter
lilies.
Besides the devoted wife and little
children, Elmer leaves a loving father
and mother, two brothers and three
sisters to whom the hearts of the
community go out in tender sympathy.
