This vicinity is quiet after former service men pa trolled the territory adjacent to the scene of the rioting Tuesday night. Two whites and six blacks were killed during the rioting. As a result of the electien day fight at Ocoee, twelve miles west of Orlan do, when July Perry, negro, carried a shotgun to 'the polls and insisted he! would vote regardless of the fact that he had not paid a poll tax, followed by the killing in cold blood of two white young men by the same Perry, the sit uation may be summarized as follows: Leo Borgard of Winter Garden, and Eimer McDaniels, of Ocoee,. soldiers. in the world war, dead : Sam Salis bury, Charles Beatty, Young Wilson, Frank Robmson, John Haner and sev eral other whites wounded; July Per ry, negro, dead, an unknown number of negroes killed at the scene of the riot; twenty-five negro houses, two" negro churches and a negro lodge de stroyed by fire; Ocoee and the immed iate, section of the scene patrolled by armed white men and irf the woods and swamps intermittent firing from blacks at bay as they are being press ed further into the woods by the en circling whites. Comparative calm prevails though the air is surcharged vith the intensity of the drama. As the .negro houses blazed Tues day morning there was the incessant crackling and popping of shells and cartridges, and when the church was.; mearit was statea mat me detona tions resembled the explosions of miniature ammunition dumps on a battle front. "It is declared that be tween 500 and 1000 rounds of ammu nition exploded in the church and in Perry's house where the congregated and desperate blacks fought like de mons, 2000 rounds of ammunition ex ploded. Examinations of. the debris of the destroyed negro bouses reveal ed numerous ftre arms . of large and small caliber. A gruesome credation scene was ex posed in all its f rightfulness as the morning sun peeped over the smoke laden field. One scene showed two charred bodies of negroes who fought to the last. One negro women is known to have been killed. No 'chil dren were victims. The situation is in the hands of reliable citizens, ex service men and home guards and no further trouble is anticipated. A VERITABLE HORSE FAIR IS THE SPARKS CIRCUS Despite the. fact that the automo bile business is increasing month by month, there yet remains the keenest interest in the horse, perhaps not as a beast of burden, but as an animal of symmetry, intelligence and beauty. And that is one of the reasons why the Sparks circus which is to appear in Ocala on Tuesday, Kov. 16th, car ries with a horse fair equalled by no other circus in the world. "In the large tent adjoining the menagerie, the horse fair forms a daily adjunct to the trip into the "big show."1 And so when the circus arrives and ' you have paid your admission, do not forget that feature of the circus, for it is worth seeing. In the fair this year will be found specimens of the purest; bred Percfceroa possible to obtain, as f well as representatives of the thoroughbred, standard bred Suf folk punch, coach horses, hackneys, hunters and horses for. general pur poses. But in the maze of attractions, the horse fair forms only cne of the feat ures of the Sparks . circus. The clowns? They always form an impor tant part of any circus and that is the case with this vast amusement enterprise. Forty- of' them are pres ent m the performance every minute and their presence can result in only one thing laughter and lots of it. By .the way there sis to be the two mile long parade at 10:30 o'clock the morning of the circus arrival in the city, with all cages open, tableaux wagons and floats of wondrous, splen dor, herds of elephants and camels most-of them driven in harness, 200 lady riders -and cavaliers, all mounted on beautifully .caparisoned, spirited horses in splendid fettle.

It was found that the business men favor a sliding scale as being fairer to all. The "sum of $10,000 is determined upon as the minimum for the activities of the Board of Trade for thef year. Tomorrow or Friday a letter will be sent to the business men and firms advising them of the amount that the committee expects them to subscribe to the Board of Trade fund.. This will give everydne air opportunity to give careful consideration to .the matter. Then, beginning Monday, the commit tee will begin calling on the men and business houses to ask for ' subscrip- 'tions, one-third cash and the balance ON A BENDER! in the form of pledges for three, six .fond nine" months. The present yearly income of the Board of Trade, only $3900, is entirely inadequate. The headquarters,, or of fice expenses, of the organization must have at least $5000 yearly, and, if there is to be any advertising, book lets, conventions,; motor camp, band concerts and the like an additional sum must be raised. It is proposed to raise it in one lump sum and to do away with various drives and sub scriptions, periodically during the year. A budget will be made and a definite program adopted by the Board of Trade and its activities for the year limited to this budget and program. The, budget and program will be adopted at a meeting of the Board of Trade to be held for the purpose. - Advertising builds business. BPS iia Ht Hia IH an . struction.
