DIGESTION WAS BAD

probably the best known man inFlorida public life. For over thirtyyears he has been reading clerk ofthe House of Representatives, a posi.tion he filled most efficiently. He heldother positions, all more of honorthan of profit, and died honored andregretted by all who knew him.

The meeting of the state democraticexecutive committee at JacksonvilleWednesday was most harmonious.The meeting was for the purpose ofreorganization, new members havingbeen elected in the recent primary.There have been rumblings andgrumblings to the effect that Chair-man Raney and all the other demo-crats were to be told to go way backand sit down, while the great Catt-rio- t,

Hodges of Lake City, was to bechairman and with the other disciplesof the governor to run things to suithis faction. Instead of that Mr.Hodges nominated Raney for on,

and his nomination was sup-ported by an unanimous vote. J. C.Sale of Bronson was elected secreta-ry and I. J. McCall of Hamilton coun-ty was elected treasurer. Mr. McCallwas nominated by Louis W. Duval,committeeman from Marion county,and his election was also unanimous.It is evident that the committee re-mains democratic and it is probablethat the sober sense and principle ofFlorida democracy will rally aroundit in the next two years' more strong-ly than ever.

Dr. William Bayard Hale, who,when this country entered the warwas the Berlin correspondent of theInternational News Service, and whowas among the last of the Americansto leave the German capital, is namedby Deputy Attorney General AlfredL. Becker of New York state as theman who was the editorial chief ofthe pro-Germ- an news service whichoperated in this country in the firstyears of the war under the name ofGerman Information Service. Theservice printed daily a large sheetwhich contained from three to a doz-en articles, all of a pro-Germ- an na-ture, and as a rule bitterly anti-all- y,

particularly as far as the Britishwere concerned. Mr. Becker said thatDr. Hale received a salary in theneighborhood of $18,000 a year. Beck-er has a whole bunch of pro-Germa- ns

on the grill, among them EdwardLyell Fox and George Sylvester

"a FORTUNATE ESCAPE

Mr. Lee Priest, who . lives aboutthree miles north of the city, camenear having a fatal accident this fore-noon. While working on a silo on theF. W. Bishop place a large plank fellfrom a considerable height and struckhim on top of the head, lacerating thescalp badly. He was immediatelybrought to a physician here, who tookseveral stitches in the wound, butfound that no bones were broken.

Mr. Priest says that had he notthrown up his arm and in that man-ner partially protected his head fromthe blow, it would doubtless havebroken his skull. So taking all in all,he considers himself very fortunatein not being more seriously hurt.

Miss Marie Schlater is one amongthe few sick ones of Shady this week.There is very little sickness here-abouts. The mosquitoes are worsethan usual this season and more pre-cautions against these carriers of ty-phoid will prevent some of that andother fevers.

The Shady school is moving on verywell. The attendance increased thismorning when ten or twelve new pu-

pils came in. Some of these are fromthe Goins community. All have got-ten settled down to work and , theteacher, Mr?. Terry, has the unmis-takable tal3nt for teaching, which isnot given to all. Friends and patronsare invited to visit the school t;t anytime.
