LONDON, rep. lV.--JuoI dS dbSul edly as Lloyd George is the present Minister of England, so Lord Birk- enhead, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, will be his successor. No body on this side of the Atlantic has che slightest doubt on the point
 Frederick Edwin Smith, now known as Lord Birkenhead, has had the most meteoric career that Britain has ever known. Never before, not even in the instance of Pitt. has a man taken the reins of government with so short a bound.
 It was in February, 1906, that Lon- don first heard of this young man. There had been 8 Parliamentary elec- tion. The Tories, after eleven years of power, had been wiped out Just faded remnant had been re- turned to the House of Commons. The bench opposite were crowded with triumphant Liberals
 HE ArsoNIsHED COMMONS
 And the second day of the ses- sion, an unknown, immediately dressed youth, with smooth hair and Liverpool accent, arose to address the House and the hostile legions op- posite.
 He had no feelings of defeat He made no apologies. With silken voice and brutal invective he flayed the life from the victorious foes. Arthur James Balfour, feared of a hopelessly defeated party, looked around and asked: "1n Heavens name who is this boy?"
 All England next day was ringing with the name of F. K. Smith. He became familiarly known as "Gallop- CT" Smith
 This was really the third stage in "Freddy" Smiths career. At the be- ginning he was the son of a very poor and unsuccessful lawyer Ills ability brought him prizes enabling him to go to a good school at Liver pool. From there he won his way to Oxford University, supporting him. self all the time.
 WAS LEADER AT OXFORD
 At Oxford he quickly made him. self the man of the day. A great football player, president of the Un- ion, triple first-class degree, this handsome boy-without a cent-dom- mated the ancient purlieus of the venerable city. And all the people who counted asked: What will he become?"
 :. For the time being he had no mon- ey to become anything. So for sev- eral years he was a famous profess sor and teacher. Then he went to the Bar. And one day there was a most extraordinary forgery case. The prisoner was conspicuously guilty, but the defense put up was one that drew the excited attention of all En- gland. F. F. Smith was the defend ing counsel.
 After that Liverpool, his native city, could not make enough of him. He had the pick of all the big legal causes that happened. He lived in tremendous style in a huge house, keeping a string of hunters, enter- taining in elaborate style and maE- ing the entire community wonder how he did it. His fame spread daily until men gasped.
 The famous Judge, Lord Mersey, was in Liverpool at that time. Ono

Ocala people read with sadness the
dispatch announcing that the eyesight
OF Rev. L. B. Warren, the moving
spirit in the million-dollar Baptist
church building and loan fund of the
Southern Baptist Convention, flicker
ed out just as his great work came to
a successful conclusion. Mr.. Wa ren
has been martyr to his work and mis-
cause. Had he, twenty years ago
when his eyes began to fail, taken
some quiet, easy path in life, as he
might have done, his sight would
probably have lasted. But he chose
instead to bear the heat and burden
of the day.

ed this year under the direction of the
public school, nor will credit be given
to pupils of the intermediate or gram
mar grades for work done during the

grades this year enables the pupil to
repeat at once, under the direction of
the regular teacher of his grade, the
half years work in which he has fail
ed. Hence, entrance examinations
will be given next fall only to new pu-
pills of the grammar grades who are
entering the school for the first time
and do not have proper credentials.
The regular pupils of the Ocala
schools must take, at the opening of
school next fall, the classification
given at the close of school this
month.
High school pupils may review in
summer school any subject taken in
public school and failed, and may take
an examination on that subject next
fall during the week preceding the
opening of the high school. New work
taken up for the first time during the
summer will not be recognized.
