The wholesale sinking of the Ger.

REUTER TOOK RESPONSIBILITY
London, June 23. Although it has
been reported six Germans were kill

the German fleet at Scapa Floe were
fired upon after the scuttling of the
warships, the Daily Mail says others
were probably drowned and some
may have reached the Orkney Islands
and not yet been reported.
The main force of the British fleet
was at sea when the German ships
were sunk, only a few vessels being
on guard. Admiral Von Reuter, com commander
mander commander of the surrendered German
fleet, says he issued an order to sink
the ships, the Daily Mail adds, and
did so because at the beginning of the

that no German warships be allowed
to fall into enemy hands. He says he
believed, from newspaper reports, the
armistice had been ended.

OPEN LETTER
To
the Ex-Confederates of Florida
from General J. A. Cox,
Lakeland, Florida
Comrades: During a somewhat
eventful life of eighty years, the
greatest honor that ever came to me
was my election, by unanimous vote,
to be commander-in-chief of the Flor
ida Division of U. C. V. During my
administration of that high office, nor
since, have I ever heard an adverse
criticism of my official acts.
Hence I can appeal to you, with
confidence, that you will heed my last
request as beloved comrades. As you
know our beloved organization is non nonpartisan
partisan nonpartisan in character and cannot
pledge its vote as a unit but nothing
prevents us, as individual citizens
discussing the merits of any man who
offers as a candidate for any office in
the state.
Now, comrades, my urgent request
is that before you make your decision
as to your ballot for the next gover governor
nor governor of Florida that you calmly investi investigate
gate investigate the claims of Cary A. Hardee to
this distinguished position. Then vote
for the good of our beloved state.
I think you will find that Hardee
will measure up fully to the Jefferson-
ian standard of true democracy. Cary
A. Hardee is to the manor born, has
come up from the farm, a self-made
man and today in all attributes of
true manhood, has but few equals in
the state.
He has been tried in every relation
of life and has proven to be pure as
gold from core to cuticle.
Believe me, comrades blood will tell
and Cary A. Hardee has in his veins
the blood of forbears who were not
ashamed to fight for what they be believed
lieved believed to be right and he himself to today
day today is true to the traditions of a noble
ancestry.
So, comrades, let us once more ral-
ly to the call 01 duty and give to t lor
iaa a governor of whom every man,
woman ana cnna wm De proua.

It was three years ago Sunday that
Company A (the Ocala Rifles), bee

lone march that most of its members
made first to the Rio Grande and then
to the Rhine. It was the Sunday night
Drecedine that a special dispatch to
the Star told that the president, in
consequence of the border troubles,
had called out the National Guard.
The Star spread the news and the of
ficers and most of the men knew it
that night, tho official notification did
not come until next day. The company
was a mere handful then to what it
became later, but as soon as it lined
up, the recruits began coming in, un until
til until soon there were more than there
was equipment for. The company
was ordered to. join the regiment at
Black Point, but it was three days
before cars were provided. The night
before the boys left, they were given
a reception and a supper in the
armory by the W. C. T. U. During
this event, which was attended by a
good-sized crowd, tho' not as large as
it should have been, a dispatch was
received announcing the treacherous
attack on and murder of a number of
our soldiers by Mexicans near Car-

week ago, when American troops
eharered over the border at Juarez and
shot down a number of Mexicans.

was on patrol duty for another five

The war department wants recruits
for service on the Mexican border.
When Uncle Sam says (and he will
say it some day), "Come, boys, let's
go to Mexico City," he will have more
men than he can count.
The republicans in both Senate and
House are a bunch of four-flushers.
In the Senate they kept Copperhead
LaFollette in his seat; in the House,
they will not pass on the case of the
traitor, Victor Berger.
Senator Borah threatens to quit
the republican party if it consents to
the peace treaty being signed. Next
to LaFollette, the republican party
can spare Borah better than any
other man in public life.

MICKEY IS THE STAR'S DEVIL
We are rather glad than otherwise
that the Germans sunk so many of
their ships at Scapa Floe. This will
do away with the squabble that would
certainly have taken place over the
disposition of the' ships. It was rather
a plucky thing for the Germans to
doabout what American or British
seamen would have done in their
place. The Star has never thought
the German naval men were cowardly
in refusing to bring their fleet out in
the last weeks of the war. It was
not only that they were outnumbered
two to one. but they knew they would
not be fighting for their country, but
only for a conscienceless set of blood
suckers who kent their own carcasses
in safety while sending other men to
almost certain death.
Governor Catts has put an end to

We don't think that one of our big

(Tampa Tribune)
"I am still state health officer. I
expect to fill out my four-year term
ar such, which expires June 6, 1921,"
said Dr. W. H. Cox. who arrived in
the city last night from his headquar
ters at Jacksonville.
The Tribune man asked Dr. Cox if
be had received official notice from the
state board of health of its action at
the meeting held at Tallahassee
Thursday, when the board declared
him removed from office and Major A.
R. Green, U. S. Army, appointed to
the Dlace.
I have had no communication irom
the board of its reported action," he
said. "All I know about that meeting
is what was reported in the news
oaDers. I was not requested to attend
the meeting at Tallahassee and was
not there."
Then you consider yourself state
health officer?"
"Most certainly. I was appointed
for a four-year period, my tenure in
office to continue for the lull penoa
if I performed my service properly.
This I have done. I he Doard, u it
has any charges to make against me
has never made them in proper form.
Certainly I have not been served with
notice of charges. I have lived in
Florida thirty-three years, and I do
no propose to be kicked out of office at
the whim of a board composed of men,
not one of whom has any technical
knowledge of health matters."
Dr. Cox said the rift between him himself
self himself and the board arose out of his
action in appointing assistant health
officers when some of his help resign resigned
ed resigned suddenly, and he could not afford
to wait until the next meeting of the
board. He exhibited a statement he
submitted to the board on April 18,
1918, covering several such appoint appointments,
ments, appointments, and making suggestions to the
board. The concluding statement to
this letter said:
"I respectfully suggest to the mem
bers of the board that no board of
directors for a corporation engaged in
a commercial enterprise would ap appoint
point appoint a manager and force him to re retain
tain retain in his employment subordinates
who are disloyal to him."
"I felt," said Dr. Cox, commenting
cn this letter, "that it was absurd for
the board to undertake to direct in
every way the activities of the state
health officer in his work of protect
ing the health of the people of the
state. And I most emphatically re
fuse to place myself in the position of
being bandied about at the whim oi
men who have no technical knowledge
oi the reauirements of the position I
hold. And I as emphatically declare
will not stand bv and see this office
and the people's money used to fur
rier the political ambitions of any
man or set of men."
He said it was true he had been
offered by the governor the position
of assistant state health officer with
headquarters at Brooksville his
home if he would retire.
"I could not do such a thine and
feel that I had been true to mvself."
said Dr. Cox. "I resolved to fight the
matter to the last ditch rather than
surrender in any such manner to
please a bunch of politicians. And I
will fieht them. 1 am state health of

and will welcome it."
Dr. Cox said he had only the high
est regard for Major Green as a phy physician

not surrender my office to him at the
behest of this board." he added.

In 1914 this land could not have been bought for less than S100.00 per acre. While nothing has
occured in four years to reduce the value of real estate, circumstances have greatlv increased my
need of money, therefore I am offering this splendid piece of land at one fourth of its real value
This tract will make an ideal small stock farm. About 200 acres of it is as good land as can be found
anywhere for general farming, while the remainder will make a fine pasture for hogs or cattle, be being
ing being well timbered with live oak and watered by a small lake or pond. This 200 acres will produce,
without fertilizer from twenty to forty bushels of corn or sixty to eighty bushels of peanuts per
acre. One hundred acres of this land planted in watermelons and well cultivated next season, with
prices as good as those at present, should easily net S10.000. There is no better watermelon or pea peanut
nut peanut land than this in Marion County, the soil being well supplied with lime and pebble phosphate.
This land is splendidly located a quarter mile north of the city limits of Ocala and fronts on both the
Dixie Highway and the Anthony hard road.

The location of this tract is especially attractive on ac account
count account of its accessibility to these highways and its close
