COL. DAVIS IN OCALA

Col. Robert w. Davis of Gainesville,
and his son, Robert W. Jr., spent Fri
day in Ocala, mingling with the col
one's old friends, who were glad to
meet not only Mr.. Davis but the young
man, whose privilege rather than task
it is to make smooth the ways for his
aged and honored father.
Mr.. Davis spoke to fair-sized au-
dience at the courthouse in the eve
ming. He made a good address, but
like other orators of note he is better
at pleading other causes than his own.
He couldn't talk up for Bob Davis,
candidate, like he could in speaking
for the rights of the people or in try
ing to save some client whose life de-
pended on his eloquence. However, he
made a good speech and the people
were glad to see and hear him. Editor
Harris of the Banner, one of Col
Davis friends for scores of years, and
like him one of the Confederacy's boy
soldiers, presided over the meeting
and in few well-chosen words intro
duced the speaker of the evening.
Col Davis and his son left in their
car for Gainesville late in the evening
and their Ocala friends hope to see
them again and often.

NEW SYSTEM AT THE
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE

Since the Ocala Telephone Company
has put in its automatic switchboard
there is record kept of the phone
calls that each operator answers dur
ing her hours of duty each two weeks
and the one answering the most calls
in that time is given a bonus. Miss
Evelyn Thompson earned the bonus
this week.
A few figures will be of interest to
the public, showing the work that one
operator can handle under the new
system. One operator goes on duty
at o'clock in the morning and re-
mains until o'clock. Tuesday of the
past week showed the largest number
of calls yet recorded for a six-hour
period, and when it is remembered
this was the morning the gas pressure
was shut off, it is apparent the peo~
pie in general and housekeepers in
particular kept the phones busy. From
a. m. till noon that morning, 2063
calls were recorded
This morning was also a busy time
at the exchange. During the hour
from 8 to 10 o'clock sos calls were
registered Miss R. E. Curry was the
operator in charge during both of the
record-breaking periods.

GREATER SOUTHERN COLLEGE
RAPIDLY GOING AHEAD

Clearwater, May 6.-Work on the
buildings of the Greater Southern
Cololege is progressing very much as
it was predicted that it would. The
architect and contractors announce
that the building schedule is proceed
ing at normal rate, just as it was
planned by the members of the board
of trustees of the college. There will
be no difficulty, with the work proceed
ing as it is now, to have the buildings
ready for the opening of the next ses-
sion of the college, which is to begin
October 3rd.
Emphasis is placed upon this fact,
however, by the members of the build
ing committee and all of those who
have the work in charge, that if the
work is even temporarily delayed by
any cause whatever that it will disar-
range the plans that have been SO
lcarefully formulated for the continu-
ance of the work throughout the sum-
mer in such a way that the buildings
may be ready for occupancy in the au-
tumn For this reason the college ad-
ministration, the committee on the
| Christian education campaign, the
members of the board of trustees and
all who are so faithfully managing
the work make an appeal that every
one who has pledged money to the
campaign do everything possible to
pay up all, or the greater part of the
pledge at the earliest possible time.
1t is urged that every subscriber
who has not made a payment on the
pledge make a sacrifice, if necessary
in order to meet as large a payment
as possible toward the furtherance Of
the work at Lakeland. The building:
are going up rapidly, and every Meth
odist, every patron and friend o:
Southern College should have a par
in the great construction work that il
now so successfully under way. AS
surance is given by all who know
that the progress on the work up t,
this time is all that could be expected
} It will continue in this same satisfac
tory manner, if those who hav
pledged money to the fund will onl,
do their part in supporting the work
Every contributor to the fund is
: builder, one who is helping the caus
J of Christian education in Florida t
lachieve one of its noblest works.

DESERVED FATE
Texans Wreaked on Rapists and Muir
derers a Punishment that Was
Swift and Terrible

Kirvin, Texas, May 6.-(Associated
Press) Three negroes were burned
at the same stake here at five o'clock
this morning by mob of 500, follow
ing their alleged implication in the
criminal assault and murder of IT.
year-old white girl whose mutilated
body was found near here Thursday
night.
Snap Curry, the first negro burned,
was taken from the Freestone county
officers last night while they were at
tempting to move him to safe place.
1t is alleged that he confessed to the
mob of enraged citizens that he had
assaulted and murdered the young lady
and in his confession implicated two
other negroes, J. H. Varney and Nose
Jones. The mob then took Jones and
Varney out of the Freestone Jail,
where they were being held as sus-
poets.
The three negroes were rushed to
Kirvin, the home of the dead girl. An
iron stake was driven into the ground
on small square in the heart of the
town. Curry was first burned, then
Varney and then Jones. After the
third negro had been burned to a
crisp, all three bodies were piled to-
gether, fuel and oil thrown on them
and then ignited.
The mob rapidly dispersed, and at
daybreak only few persons remained
to witness the aftermath of the triple
cremation.
The girl was riding a horse home
from school several miles from Kir-
vim late Thursday when she was at
/ tackled The body was later found
near the road with twenty-three knife
wounds in the head, neck and chest.

Feminine Poll Clerk Learns All
About Him.
No Longer Can She Be Convinced Of
the Superiority Of the So-caIIed
Sterner Sex

The amateur poll clerk. who was
likewise an ardent feminist. returned
to her home on election night tired,
but afiuttcT with excitement as a re-
suit of her first attempt at checking
prospective voters. AS she entered
the house the first persons to greet her
were her brother and her f1ance. both
of whom had the obnoxious habit of
poking fun at her efforts to uphold the
dignity Of her sex
"You Will rant to me about the su-
periority of man. will your" she de-
manded militantly, according to the
New York Sun. "WeIl, let me tell you
that 1t takes a day at the polls to
prove what's what. Until now I've
had to submit to your insults because
l had no way to prove my point, but
now 1 know all about you great big
splendid men. Don't you ever dare to
tell me again that women aren't the
equal of men ID every way or that you
are any more competent to run the
country than we are"
AS she paused a moment for breath
her dual audience seized the oppor-
tunity to get q word In edgewise and
demanded, as one man, to be told the
reason for this unexpected TRADE.
I'll tell you all about it." she re-
piled. You know that the law, since
women have won the vote, has been
remOdeled so that voters In stating
their ages need say nothing more than
over thirty That, according to you
men, is permitted out of difference to
a silly old superstition that we women
dislike to tell our ages. Hal ha
"One of the first voters today was
old Mr. Jones. He's so old he needs Q
"~mpanion to guide him about thu
street When / asked him his age ht
sd ID over thirty and he has been thai
for the last fifty years at least.
Then, little later, young Jacl
Mersereau came in. Every one know
this is only his second vote, yet he hat
the unprecedented nerve to stant
there and tell me he was over thirty.
There's your male supremacy. All h'
wanted was TO have me 20 out and tel
the girls he is over thirty. suppose, s.

Why, there were just as many mel
a. women who refused 70 state thei
true ages Whatever their reason
might be- I'm sure could never guess
Now. with women it's different. The.
must always seem TO be young or els
they will lose out In the social wori'
and be regarded as old dowagers, to b
Stunned by all the younger set"
| With a total disregard Of the mascu
, line grin occasioned by this explans
| ton the amateur poll clerk continued
| her ardor unchecked:
1T would be different, Of course,
/ the men had any real reason for want
| ing to conceal their ages, but unde
| the circumstances 1t seems TO me ths
| such actions betoken an exceeding
| low rate of intelligence"
Then, without giving her audience
chance to come to its own support, 81
ran I'D the stairs to her room TO max
a quick change before dinner.
