Finally, we say, if Brooke Lee is
the strong man in the Democratic
Party in Montgomery County why
should he be snapped for a Charlie
Jones or a Clay Plummer? "By
their fruits We shall know them"
Brooke Lees accomplishments for
Montgomery County entitle him to a
high place not only in the Demo-

eminent as well.
Let us all hope that any attempt

For Town Clock

unanimous on where the clock should
be erected, but were agreed it should
be returned whence it came rather
than stand beside the monument
erected in memory of the "thin gray
line".
Mayor Blandford opened the meet
ing in the firehouse by announcing
the Town Council wanted suggestions
as to where the clock should be placed.
Silence answered him, and to start
discussion he declared:
"Well, if nobody else has any ideas
about it, I'll say Pm in favor of put
ting it on the parkway next to the
Confederate Monument because every
body wants to know what time it is
and when they look at the clock they
will see the monument. Unless there
is objection, by the Confederate statue
it goes" Then the discussion began.
Mrs. j. Frank Wilson, who was cor
responding secretary of the Ridgley
Brown Chapter, U. D. c., when the
statue was erected, objected.
"The dedication of that statue was
a notable OCCASION" she declared,
"and l believe l am speaking for the
Daughters of the Confederacy when
l say that the clock should not go
in that triangle beside the monu-
ment."
Amid applause Mrs. John C. Brown,
present head of the chapter, echoed
Mrs. Wilson's sentiments and chided
the Mayor for his levity on this i'm
portant subject. She said:
ut would be detrimental to the
monument which we all respect, to
put that old four-faced clock beside it.
Here the Mayor interrupted to ex-
plain that five of his brothers fought
with the Confederacy, his mother
made the first Confederate flag in
Washington, he married the daughter
of one of Col. Mosby's guerrillas, and
had always considered himself a
Southern sympathizer.
Clifford H. Robertson pointed out
that it was understood when the mon
ument was erected that it was to be
used for nothing else.
"a clock is for telling time, con-
tinued Mr.. Robertson. "Now this clock
has four faces and if we put it on
the three-sided parkway, only two
faces will be visible to the travelling
public. 1 suggest it be put in the park
way in front of the Farmers National
Bank"
-ssHere William Talbot arose to ask
if the. chair would entertain a motion.
The Mayor answered in the negative.
"The Council just got you folks
down here under false pretenses to
hear your suggestions" he laughingly
explained. "We're going to put the
clock where we want it anyhow"
Mr.. Talbot made a motion anyhow
that Mr.. Robertson's suggestion be
adopted, and the clock be placed in
the parkway in front of Mr.. Robert
sons Office. a
Called on by the Mayor, DR.. j. For
rest Prettyman, retired chaplain of
the United States Senate, stated that
the sacred tradition of the people of
Montgomery County represented in
the Confederate statue not be dis
honored, and that another site be
found for the clock.

Science Explains Allergy

Allergy is said to be a condition
in which the body is unfavorably
sensitive to particular foods, dusts
or other substances which produce
hay fever, asthma and other ills.
Studies show that it is caused by a

is sensitive to the amounts of salt

PRIDE IN EARLY TAG DIS
PLAY

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 30. -
Automobile owners in Florida
were urged today by State

wipe out the state deficit in the

tional $7,544 will be due this
county from the state on Deem
Der Is.
Payment of teachers salaries
will be on a sound financial basis
before the Christmas holidays if
motorists who have been buying
tags in January will make their
purchase early in December. The
tag number on each car will
identify early buyers, and Eng
fish urged motorists to take pride
in display of these "honor rolf
numbers.
Receipts. from tag sales are
ear-marked for the state teach
ers salary fund, which is appor-
toned to the counties on a basis
of school attendance. Tag rev.
enue comprised 20 per cent of
the states total aid for school
last year.
The budget for this county
shows that teachers are under
contract to receive $79,774 this
year, and funds due from the
state for paying these teachers
will amount to $66,245. Addi-
tional state. aid will be received

COBB AND OSCAR
Oxcart Travels $500 Miles
NEAR TRIPS END

Especial to The CttiZenD
OCALA, Nov. 30.-A $500 mile
trip by auto, air, rail, boat OF
bus isn't SO bad, but when a fell
low travels that far in an OK cart
well that's something else, in
the opinion of Bob Cobb, the
Florida cowboy, who on Sunday
will complete a trek of just that
distance.
Cobb will conclude a round
trip from Florida to New York
and return, every foot of it in an
OK cart, when he drives his faith
full oscar the OK" into the wa
tiers of Silver Springs Sunday
afternoon for what Cobb terms
"a long drink he's been waiting
for a long, long time. The slow
ly moving vehicle was a good
three days drive out of Silver
Springs when interviewers talk
ed to Cobb last night.
Cobb wasn't told of the cele-
bration that's been planned for
him by the home folks. The
mayor and other city officials
from nearby Ocala will greet
him, and there'll be movie news
reelers, press cameramen and
even a band awaiting him at
Silver Springs.
The celebration will remind
him of the big reception staged
for him when he arrived at the
New York Worlds Fair, where
he was king for a day, and
shared the limelight many days
there after with numerous other
personalities.
1t required 100 long days for
Cobb to travel from Silver
Springs to the Fair, and while
the strain of the trip caused
Cobb to lose As pounds, Oscar
gained $50. Now Oscar weighs
almost twice the 500 pounds he
boosted when he left Silver
Springs in March. But since
then he has worn out "a pairs of
steel and rubber shoes, and the
wagon has required another set
of wheels. Cobb is tired, he said,
but feels sit was worth it. I had
lot of fun telling people about
Florida.
