THE VOICE OF THE SEERS AND
PROPHETS NO LONGER HEARD

We say it more in sorrow than in
anger that the New York Tribune is
more partisan and sectional; it's at
titude towards the South more belIi-
gerent and hostile than it was fifty
years ago. The teachings of its found
er have been obIiterated and aban-
doned
A reproduction of those impassion-
ed and patriotic editorials of good old
Horace Greeley-would now cause a
panic in it's sanctum and a rafting of
dry bones among its editorial staff
Likewise the New York Herald no
longer pursues the paths that were
once so familiar and so pleasing both
to the elder and the younger Bennett
The same influences that beguilded
Mother Eve have gotten possession of
the G. o. p. and insiduousIy invaded
the sanctums of these once proud and
courageous newspapers and neither

WAS THE ORANGE IMPORTED OR
is 1T iNDIGENous?.

If it be true that the orange were
imported into Florida from Spain,
as is supposed by Mr.. Moses Folsom
and others, it does seem that it would
not have been SO generally and pro-
miscuously distributed over the state.
The orange tree was found growing
wild along our lakes and rivers all
the way from the Apalachieola and
Chiporla rivers in West Florida,
through the central portion of the
state on down to the everglades.
And in Alachua. Marion, fernando
and other counties orange trees were
found growing quite prolificaIly in the
hammocks and never at set distances.
Then, too. it would seem that sweet
and not the sour orange would have
been imported
So far as we know no sweet orange
was ever found growing wild in any
part of Florida.
So we can but believe that the sour
and bitter sweet orange is Indigenous
to the soil of Florida.

FOR STATE SENATOR

Mr. N J. Wicker in this issue of the
Banner formally announces his can
didacy for state senator from the Goth
senatorial district composed of the
counties of Marion and Sumter
Under compact entered into
number of years ago the senator from
said district was to alternate between
the two counties and that agreement
has been so faithfully observed that
it has become an acknowledged GUS
tom and some sage has observed that
custom is more binding than law"
So we take 1t for granted Gas this
is Sumter's time) that no citizen of
Marion will aspire for this Office I'M
less he first obtains the endorsement
of the voters of Sumter county in
primary election
Mr. Wicker has been a citizen of
Sumter for more than thirty years;
has been frequent contributor to
the press of that county; has been
twice elected to the legislature and
made an excellent record in that body.
In face of the fact that his county
voted against it he favored the cat
tie dipping law; he built the first II
mile of hard road in Sumter and made
a gift of it to the county hoping that
it would blaze the way and serve as
foretaste of better things
Mr.. Wicker is in favor of state re-
apportionment and is DESTROYS to have
vote on that measure when it comes
before the legislature as great anxi-
ETY. exists in Sumter as to which coun-

COMPLIMENT TO A WORTHY cITl-
@s ZEN

The Florida Grower pays the follow
ing compliment to one of our deserv-
ing citizens:
While the South Florida Fair was
in progress it spoke of him as fol-
lows:
u. w. Davis. in charge of the Ma
rion county exhibits in the Snow
building at the fair, is an ideal booster
for his home products for the reason
that he takes the accomplishments of
his county folks as matter of course
Not at all surprised was he that his
neighbors had over $50 varieties Of
fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses and
products of all sorts, for he just knows
that Marion county is the best in the
state. That sort of spirit can't be
downed, he says seriously"

LOOK ON THIS PIcTURE--THEN
ON THAT

sThe sgeenral industrial and busi-
ness situation now is such as to justi-
fly confidence that we are well past
the worst phase of the agricultural
crisis" declared President Harding in
a letter read to farmers attending the
annual Red River Valley Farm Crop
and Livestock Show at Crookston,
Minnesota.
About the same time the Detroit
Free Press contained the following:
"A considerable part of the farm
ing population of the country is at
this moment in condition bordering
on desperation. The selling price of
their produce is reduced so that in
large areas it is cheaper to allow crops
to rot than it is to market them. This
situation is aggravated by cost of
transportation that is practically pro-
hibitive. Thousands of farmers who
worked all last summer find now that
they have nothing to show for their
toll On top of this taxes are OPP
pressive One need not go outside
Michigan to learn that. In Barry coun-
ty alone, the farmers were obliged
to borrow 100000 last year to meet
the levies made upon them In Lam
sing it is reported that one-fifth of
all the farmers of the state are in ar
rears for taxes. Yet Michigan is rela-
lively prosperous. What must the
conditions be in states that are really
hard hit"

PRESIDENT OBJECTS
TO DRAFT OF ALLIED
DEBT REFUNDlNG BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2,-Objection
by the administration to the allied
debt refunding bill as amended by
the senate was encountered today
by the house ways and means COM
mittee when it took up the meas
uTc in executive session.
Chairman Fordney said action
would be deferred until he could
confer with President Harding,
probably tomorrow.
Secretary Mellon, who was be-
fore the committee, said he would
rather have had a bill without the
twenty five-year maturity and 4
Ia per cent minimum interest
rate limitation but that it would
be feasible to go ahead with the
refunding negotiations and if these
limitations proved insurmountable
in the case of some countries, ad-
ditional authority could then be
asked of congress.
1t was understood that the pres
ident objected to these limitations
in the senate agreement by the re-
publican majority. 1t was said that
the attention of the committee had
been called that in case of some of
the debtor nations, particularly the
smaller and the newly formed
ones, it might be necessary to de-
fer maturity of the refunded obli-
cations for fifty years, instead Of
twenty-five years and that where
the loans were to extend over such
a long period it might be desirable
to fix the interest rate as low as
four per cent.

OILY HAIR.

II the hair is too dry or too oily,
there is usually great deal of
dandruff on the scalp. In any case
the hair will be neither pretty nor
healthy. Now the only way to cure
dandruff is to use a great deal Of
oil on the scalp and to rub it in
thoroughly. This means that the
hair will get oily and sticky and
will lie flat against the head and
generally be such a nuisance that
the woman will be tempted to keep
on washing it to make it fluffy,
and consequently to undo all the
good of her treatments.
The best thing to do when treat
ing the scalp with oil is to give the
hair weekly dry shampoo. The
best thing to use for this is either
powdered oris root, which comes
as a coarse white powder; or plain
yellow cornmeal. ground as coarse
ly as possible. In fact, a very good
stunt is to take yellow cornmeal
and run it through fine sieve. The
coarse part will remain in the sieve
and the fine powder will fall
through. The coarser the powder
the easier it is to brush outs of the
hair afterwards. Some very smart
beauty parlors carry a coarse pow
der which they color to match the
shade of the hair and sell at eX-
orbitant prices. But unless you
wish to spend a lot of money pow
dered oris will be just as effective
and will not cost you very much.
Dust a generous amount into the
hair, then begin to brush thorough
lily until you have gotten it all
through the hair. Keep on brush
ing until you brush it out. Then

that she was the one girl he want
ed for his girl. then his wife.
Did she care for him?
Ted Walters was no coward, yet
he feared to ask her. Love seemed
so far from her thoughts, COM
radeship the only thing she desired
Of him. and to his comfort he
thought, of any man. Was she as
serious minded as she would make
him think, or was it pretense, a
pose because of the people with
whom she had surrounded herself
She was the leading spirit now
just as she had been when she was
little girl and all the children
did as she wanted them to, while
she followed her own sweet will.
He watched her changing face
as the play went on, clean little
comedy. Some of the others look
ed and acted bored. There was
nothing particularly new, nothing
at all risque about the little drama
of married life being played be-
fore them. But Joan did not look
bored, she followed the movement
of the play breathlessly. She smiled
her approval when someone who
tried to do the right thing came
out ahead, she wiped her eyes
frankly at some sad passages. No,
she wasn't like the others who saw
neither the fun or the pathos in
the play. She was still clean and
sweet, as dainty Of mind as she
was of person.
Wasn't it lovely, Ted?" Joan
asked as the curtain went down
for the last time and she gave him
her wrap.
Perfectly lovely" he replied,
looking straight into her eyes. He
might have told her that but for
the changing expressions of her
face he would have known nothing
of the play. He only knew 1t as
she had interpreted it to him.
II was so glad that dear woman
was happy at last" she unused as
he wrapped her cloak about her
slim shoulders.
Margaret sent them all home in
taxis, taking Ted and Joan back
with her.
