The Star is informed that a couple
of parties of men went to the county
jail last night, presumably with the
intention of taking out and lynching
Will Smith, who brutally insulted a
young lady Saturday night. Each
party was sent away with a flea in its
car...:;; '.
The Star would most emphatically
advise against interfering with Smith
as I ng as he is in the hands of the
offic it s of the law. The almost certain
res? It would be that several good men
wo- ! J be hurt, and that would be a

MARION TRUCKERS
ARE PROSPEROUS
Times-Union, 27th: "Truck farmers
m Marion ana Aiacnua counties are
doing exceedingly well this spring,"
said George Irwin, of Waldo, last ev
ening. Mr. Irwin arrived in the last
last evening on business and is stop
ping at the Albert hotel. From here
he will go to St. Petersburg on a fish
ing trip of several days.
Mr. Irwin stated that the truckers
were reaping a rich harvest irom let
tuce and strawberries. He also said
that beans, peas and other vegeta
bles would bring good returns for. the
truckers. The crops are large and
the prices are much better than usual.
He reported that one trucker near Mc
intosh sold $400 worth of lettuce per
day for three weeks. Several others
have done as well in those two coun
ties. Business in trucking is report
ed to be profitable in the entire cen
tral western section of the state.
"The good crops and high prices,"
said Mr. Irwin, "have caused consid
erable activity in real estate. Several
sales have been made recently. The
land is well adapted to trucking in
Marion and Alachua counties and sev
eral thousand acres are in cultivation.
More land is being cleared every year
and it all seems to be rich and fertile.
The farmers, too, are doing well. Good
crops are predicted and owing to the
war the planters are looking forward
to a rich harvest as they believe
prices for their crops will be much
better than usual.. They believe that
the farmers of the north will supply
Europe with grain and that the crops
from Florida will be sold at a good
price to the people of the United
States who are usually supplied by
the northern farmers."
NO THING SO GuOD
FOR A COUGH OR COLD
When you have a cold you want the
best medicine obtainable so as to get
rid of it with the least possible delay.

"Ever since my daughter Kuth was

A POWERFUL All
PENINSULA
FORWARD RUSH
HAS FAILED
BUT GERMANS FIRMLY HOLD
GROUND AGAINST FRENCH
AND ENGLISH
Berlin, April 27. Lizerne, the head
of the German wedge on the west
bank of the Ypres canal, and half a
mile from the canal, has been evacuat
ed by the Germans. The new German
lines about Ypres are being held firm
ly. British attempts to recapture the
lost ground have failed. The enemy
suffered heavily.
French attacks on Hartsmansweiler
Kopf , in the Argonne, at Combres
and Ailly, have failed. The Germans
gained further on the Meuse heights
and in the Lapretre forest.
A MUCH BETTER CAR
There has been much complaint by
the traveling public of the passenger
coach in use on the tri-weekly train
between here and Wilcox. It seems to
have served its time as a Jimcrow car
somewhere before it was put on that
run.
The Star's attention was called to
the car and it wrote to Division Sup
erintendent H. Q. McArthur about it.
That particular line is out of Mr. Mc
Arthur's division, but he called the
attention of his colleagues to the
matter, and the offensive car was
promptly replaced with a better one.
It is a pleasure to deal with such men
as Mr. McArthur, and if there wef e
no other kind in the railroad business
there would be very little trouble be
tween the people and the transporta-
ion lines.
SOLID CARLOAD OF BOTTLES
The Ocala Chero-Cola Company has
a solid carload of bottles for its plant
with its name and address blown in
the glass on the way from the factory
at Laurens, S. C. The car was routed
via the Southern, G. S. & F. and Ok-
lawaha Valley railroad, and it is
thought to be the first solid carload
the last mentioned road has handled
into Ocala since the reorganization of
the road a few days since. This is the
second carload of bottles the Chero
Cola Company has received.
Mr. Jerome Wideman has returned
to his home in Palm Beach, having
come to the capital and receiving an
appointment by the governor to be
prosecuting attorney for Palm Beach
county. Mr. Wideman spent several
years as a resident of Tallahassee in

greeted by his many friends. Since
his recent graduation from the Taw
