CXLL-nDEnS STARTED AT ORANGE SPB1XGS The candidates are not shedding any tears, because there. wa3 no crowd at Orange Springs Monday. They had a pleasant ride and a jolly time, met some friends and started the ball to Tolling. and they had to gro anyhow; so they are all contented, and some of them are happy. It was a lively crowd aboard the Ocala Northern train'; when it palled out of the city Monday morning'.

I S. Light and Edwin Spencer as prospective legislators headed the procession. were cheerful but nervous, for Crosby was not present, and they had a suspicion that he had cut across the country and would reach Orange Springs in time to throw up breastworks. Sheriff Galloway, who has only a platonlc Interest in the campaign, nevertheless was in the crowd, keeping his eye on the other Senator E. I Carney and Mrs.

Carney were also In our midst. Mr. Carney doesn't have to run for anything this year which is a good thing for his opponent if Mrs. Carney entered the-, contest as a vote-winner for the senator. Messrs.

Cobb. Clifford Livingston. W. 1L Gober, W. E.

Smith- and J. A. Tucker completed the count- Messrs. Arthur Cobb and Henry Livingston went along because they had a relative Interest in the campaign. (This is a pun.

and if you can't figure It out, we'll send you a diagram). Deputy Sheriff G. R. Smith went along, to see how the country looked. Messrs.

P. V. Leaven-good and J. H. Benjamin represented the press.

At Fort McCoy, the party was Join ed by Messrs. Walter Luff man of Sparr, C. M. parn of Reddick and A. W.

Tongue of Fairfield, each of whom wishes to represent district 5 on the board of county commissioners. party had a pleasant ride to Orange Springs. Good-natured jokes kept the crowd in a laugh all the way. The leaders in fun were Alfred Ayer and James R. Moorhead, who certainly know how to play the game and smile at the same time.

Say what 'you will, the primary is the people's long suit, and they will be fools Indeed If Ihey ever allow a return to the convention. In his young days, as a. newspaper reporter, the writer attended many political conventions, and saw the inside of numerous deals, and knows bejund dispute what very lit tie chance the people had of having their wishes regarded. Everything was decided by rings, sometimes all by one ring, and the only choice the voters had was between one bunch of politic Mans and another, and as the different bunches often had an understanding with each other, even that choice was more fancied than reaL Nowadays, the "candidates must go before the people, and the people look at them and listen to them, and pick those who please them best. The people make mistakes sometimes, but they come nearer being correct and incorruptible than any thing else on the face of the earth; and if they do make a mistake, its their mistake, they can pay for it more easily than they can pay for the mistakes, plus the rascalities, of the 'politicians.

So when you hear a man Inveighing against the primary, swat and his friends every time they go into politics, for they are trying to take away a very large portion of your liberties. When the candidates alighted at Orange Springs, the large and enthusiastic gathering expected there was conspicuous by its absence. The Star man suggested that the candidates make 'an organized sally into the country and bring in the people, but instead each candidate trotted out on a mission of his own. Light and Spencer went scouting for and were much relieved to find he hadn't shown up. Nearly everybody went to the and the Star man took a look at the improvements of the obviously thriving village.

First to be noticed Is the big, handsome store and residence of Postmaster Pegram near the station. Mr. Pegram. has a fine, two-story building, a roomy and convenient store room and a big stock of Prosperity evidently rewards enterprise with him. Dr.

G. Parramore, formerly of Eureka, has a new, neat and well appointed drugstore next, to the postof- flee. He also has a fine soda fountain, where the thirsty can obtain delicious refreshment. Mr. G.

J. Apel is putting up a new building across the railroad from the poatofflce. When it is completed, he 111 establish a bakery and confection ery. Quite a number of other new buildings have been completed since the "railroad reached the springs nine months ago, and others are being constructed. Everybody visited the spring, which in the heart of the green forest was like a diamond in a setting of emeralds.

Its a splendid spring, and Ocala people can't visit it too often. It wasn't long after their arrival be- fore the candidates and visitors were gathered around the big store of the old," established merchant. Mr. W. H.

Massey. Mr. W. Crosby showed up about that time, and was relieved to flnd4hat Light and Spencer hadn't cut trees down across- the road from Citra. This made the legislative bunch complete Light, Crosby and Spncer three mighty good men, and the deuce of it is that we can't vote for but two of them.

Prof. P. Wilson Green, who wants to Professor Brinson out of a Job, also appeared. "Mr. Green has been sick for some time, and is slowly r- covering, which makes campaigning anything but a picnic for him.

Prof. Brinson was glad to see Prof. Green. Prof. Brinson feels like he is in the house of his friends at Orange Springs, and If Prof.

Green hadn't showed up, would have feared he was tearing down his. fences in another part of the county. Only a few Orange Springs voters were present. Mr. W.

F. Jordan, the precinct committeeman, said all the people were busy with their crops. Some of the finest farming country in the' state Is around Orange Springs, and the owners thereof are working it for all it is worth. Mr. Jordan," Mr.

L. Matchett, Mr. W. I Co wart, Mr. R.

A. formerly of Ocala, Mr. Massey and a few more of Orange Springs, Mr. 6. F.

Rou of Lowell. Mr. It. Ferguson of Berlin. Mr.

M. L. Payne of Fairfield. Messrs. M.

L. Payne and A. J. Joesy of Fairfield," were present. There not being a' large enough' crowd to speak to, the candidate began wire-pulling each ther.

for their votes. M. L. Payne ide' a few remarks with no lack of 1 old-time vigor, and everybody agreed that if the meeting wasn't a great success, it at least was by no means a. failure.

Soon after the train came along, and the crowd boarded It and returned to Ocala. When the train pulled out of Fort McCoy, the reporter noticed that Professor Brinson and Will Smith were missing, and looking back saw them laying off the lines for a staked and ridered fence around the town that will give Judge Gober and Prof. Green a tremendous lot of hard work to tear down today. The only county candidates not present Monday was Mr. D.

M. Barco, and Captain Tucker made hay while the sun shone. The crowd left for Fort McCoy this morning. With all the' candidates, half the newspaper men and two-thirds of the lawyers out of town, Ocala should be peaceful and happy today. Nobody denies that "Woodrow Wilson voted for Bryan but he does not say how many "times.

Most of us have voted for Bryan three times. Times-Union. The Star will bet a ham that the men who own the Times-Union didn't vote for Bryan one time, let alone three. MOXUMEXT TO THE WOMEN' OF THE CONFEDERACY At the regular meeting of the United Confederate Veterans, March 2, 1912, I was appointed, empowered and Instructed to call on each Confederate veteran In this county who Is drawing a pension, for a contribution of five dollars, and all other persons who may wish to contribute, except the women of the Confederacy, who were the hereoines of that struggle, for as much as they are willing to contribute to a fund to erect a monument now being constructed in Jacksonville, and which Is to be completed early in 1913, and which will cost 125,000. The monu ment to be erected to the women of the Confederacy.

Mr. E. L. Carney and Mr. D.

H. Irvine were added to that committee, and both have kindly consented to act. This Is not a begging committee. We want you to make it a free-will offering, and If you wish to commemorate the untiring fortitude, zeal and heroism of our beloved women of the Confederacy in granite and bronze you can do so. Your name will be written, and opposite to which will be the amount of your contribution for reference at any time.

Remember, women of the -Confederacy are debarred. Respectfully, Lancaster, Treasurer.

S. Tope, of Rollins College. Healthful Hospitality Elbert Hubbard has denned true hospitality as "the gentle art of making folks feel good," and the shortest road to a man's heart being through his stomach he argues that hospitality consists largely in providing palatable, wholesome, digestible, well-cooked food. To this end, the shortening medium used plays no small part. Cottolene makes food that accords with all the principles of hospitality.

It makes things crisp, short and palatable, and wholesome and nourishing as well. Food cooked with Cottolene makes you feel good and makes you keep on feeling good.

JonesYille, S. C. "I suffered wita womanly trouble," writes Mrs. J. S.

Kendrick, In a letter from this place, "and at times, I could not bear to stand on my feet The doctor said I would never bo any better, and that I would hare to have an operation, or I would have a cancer. I went to the hospital, and they operated on me, but I got no better. They said medicines would do me no good, and I thought I would have to die. At last I tried Cardui, and began to Improve, so I continued using it. JTow, I am well, and can do my own work.

I don't feel any pains. Cardui worked like a charm." There must be merit In this purely vegetable, tonic remedy, for women Cardui for it has been In successful use for more than 50 years, for the treatment of womanly weakness and disease. Please try It, for your troubles. N. B.

COUNTY JUDGE WM. M. GOBER To the Democratic Voters of Marion County: I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of county Judge of Marlon county, subject to the democratic 'primary to be held on the 30th day of April, and In so doing I am not unmindful of the fact that I am personally unknown to many of the voters of the county, but for the reason that I have not the money to make an active canvass of the county, I shall content myself with placing my name before the people as best I can. I have no influential or wealthy friends or relatives on whom to rely for support in furthering my candidacy, but rely entirely on the wishes of the people as expressed at the polls, should they see fit to honor me with the office, I shall endeavor to fully compensate by faithful attention to the duties of the office, should they see fit to refuse me the office, I shall accept their choice without criticism, as my struggles and disappointments in life have been too many to allow it to deter me In my efforts to meet with success in my chosen profession. I am not a politician within the meaning' of one constantly seeking an office, and.

am now asking for office only for the reason that I feel capable of filling it to the satisfaction of all, and that it will materially aid me In many ways In my profession. I assure those who see fit to support mc of my sincere appreciation. Respectfully submitted, Wm. M. Gober.

This fact will assure you that I am competent to perform all the duties of county Judge.

Now, my friends and fellow democrats, I ask you to take the trouble to inquire as to who and what I am, and, If from these inquiries, you are satisfied that I am competent and merit your support, I will appreciate your confidence and will, if elected to the office of county judge, never betray your trust.
