S III SAFETY

IS LINING UP TO RENEW THESTRUGGLE IN MONTENEGRO

x AND ALBANIA

(Associated Press)

London, Dec. 4. Many Serbian sol-

diers who retreated through Greekterritory after Monastir fell were notdisarmed bat were treated with everyconsideration says an Athens dispatchto the Daily News.

The Russian diversion against Bul-

garia, rumored to be under way, hasn'tmaterialized. The fact that no Rus-

sian official statement was issued lastnight, however, causes the hope to beentertained here that it is being with-held in order to chronicle this newphase in the Balkan campaign.

Reports reaching here from Buch-arest state that three Bulgarian divis-ions have crossed Hungary en routeto the Italian western front. If thisbe true, it seems to indicate that Bul-

garia doesn't fear a Russian invasion.Reports of such a shift of Bulgarianforces are as vague as the report thatTeutonic troops have been . rushedeastward to face the Russians.

Dispatches from several sources as-

sert that both northern and southernSerbian armies are safely establishedin Albania.

An optimistic feeling over the neareastern situation seems to be growing,here. There is little to justify it outwardly, however, except on the theorythat a Russian attack on Bulgariawill quickly develop, while the ententenegotiations with Greece seem to beprogressing favorably. From Germansources it is reported that Greece hasgranted the Allies control of the rail-roads rin Macedonia, together .withcertain Aegean- - seaports, y . r' -

A COUPLE OF TAX COLLECTORCOLBERT'S BIG BUNCH OF

AFFIDAVITS

Some people are unnecessarily dis-tressing themselves about Tax Co-llector Colbert, who has, they say,shown partisanship in the matter ofholding up poll taxes sent him by un-known parties, in order to enable" wetmen to vote. They even threaten toreport him to the governor.

If the distressed people aforesaidwill look at the law, as printed in thestatute books, they will see that Mr.Colbert li only doing what the lawrequires him to do. As for reportinghim to the governor, they have aright to do that, and we should advisethem to get busy right away.

In one of the bank vaults, Mr. Co-lbert has a big bunch of affidavits giv-en him by voters whose poll taxes hadbeen paid, contrary to law, by otherparties, but who either gave up thereceipts or declined to receive them.For obvious reasons, Mr. Colbert isnot publishing these affidavits. He iskeeping them to hand to the grandJury when that body meets Dec. 13. -

Mr. Colbert, however, authorizesfhe Star to publish the two following,just as samples of the bunch, and ash specimen of the way in which lawand public sentiment are being violat-ed by the wets.

Reddick, Fla., Nov. 20, 1915.I hereby certify in the presence of

these witnesses, that I have not sentor ma;led to tax collector within thenast two months money for my polltax, and have-n-ot authorized anv per-son whomsoever to pay or send it tohim for me. Thos. H. McCoy.

Witnesses: C. M. Carn, J. G. Duoree.Reddick. Fla., Nov. 20, 1915.

I hereby certify, in the presence ofthese witnesses, that I did not in anyway pay ny poll taxes for 1913 or1914, but drd authorize W. D. Bobbitto tvv fame for me if Mr. Bobbitt

would furnish the money.Matthew Hart.

the latter's engagements demanded j

that he be 230 miles away. Like thelittle dog that rushes out of the yard?and barks ferociously at the big mas-tiff, trotting along under the wagon ahundred yards or more away.

THE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

However, Mr. Upshaw is not givento running away. He accepted Mr.Windle's challenge, on condition thatthe debate open at 2 o'clock todayand he, Mr. Upshaw, have the firstspeech, so he could leave for Savan-nah on the limited. A very, fair prop-osition from a crippled little man,who has been making half a dozenspeeches a day for a week, and wantsa little time to rest before beginningwork again.

A PROHIBITION CROWD '

The debate began at 2:30 this aft-ernoon. The crowd gathered aroundthe band stand was overwhelminglyprohibition in sentiment. The W. fc.

T. U. was out in force, added to by, asmany of the voters as could sparetime from their business. Scores oftemperance people came in in autoesfrom the country to hear for the lasttime," Upshaw, who has won all theirhearts. '

Mr. Windle began the debate.' Heis a good speaker, and it is likely thatnone could make a better argument ina good cause. He was heard with in-

terest and courtesy, but his addressaroused no enthusiasm.

Mr. Upshaw followed, and no mancould have made better use of thebrief time he had. He was cheered tothe echo, and when he left to take theSeaboard limited he tarried with himas much of Marion county's apprecia-tion and sincere good will as any manever had.

Mr. Windle finished, and was speak-ing a3 the Star went to press. . . .

'

Sv Whe IS HIRED'-

-' V

Mr. Windle in speaking to the peo-ple this afternoon amused and inter-ested all, for he is certainly not lack-ing in brilliancy. He rubbed the furof the wets the right way and cheer-ed their sinking hearts, but he did notmake any votes.

Why?Because he is a paid speaker of an

Iniquitous traffic, and has no cause atheart except adding to his bank roll.

ASHAMED TO BE ITS ADVO- -

CATES

It is worthy of special note thatthe wets must send to a big city ina distant state to obtain an advocatefor their cause. And why should thisbe, when we have so many goodspeakers and writers at home?

Because the men at home areashamed to speak and write for thewet side. The wets cannot find inMarion county a man who will go onthe platform and make a speech intheir behalf. They can't find a writerwho will advocate their cause over hisown name..

All over Marion county tomorrow,ministers of the gospel, white andcolored, will plead with their hearersto vote dry will give them reasonswhy they should vote dry.

PACKED THE TEMPLE TWICEWITH INTERESTED PEOPLE

You will have to "hand it" to WillD. Upshaw, whether you are wet ordry. He has drawn the largest sus-tained audiences that any man hasever attracted in Ocala, the last be-

ing the most remarkable and themost enthusiastic of all.

That the Temple theater was pack-ed Sunday night with people turnedaway was not so remarkable in viewof the fact that there were no servicesat the churches, but for this samegreat auditorium to be filled withpeople turned away on Friday nighti3 nothing short of wonderful and istoday the talk of the town. Despitehis heavy campaigning during theweek the Georgia "orator on crutches"was in splendid form and for an hourand forty minutes he held the greatcrowd in the proverbial "spellbound"state, delighting them with wit, mov-ing them with pathos and electrifyingthem with eloquence. "John and HisHat" was a wholesome philosophical,inspiring call to the highest type ofChristian citizenship and back of it allwas the great heart of the speaker,throbbing with love for humanity.

All will agree that Will Upshaw hasdone Marion county and Ocala; a greatgood..

APOSTLE OF ALCOHOL, WHOLECTURES IN OCALA THIS

AFTERNOON

Surprising Ignorance Must be Sorrowfully Owned Up to By

the StarThe Star feels qufte chopfallen to-

day. It didn't know before that itwas so ignorant." Because until yes-terday it never heard of Windle.

That earnest little man, W. D. Up-

shaw, hopped into the Star office yes-

terday afternoon and said to the edi-

tor that he wanted to arrange to meethis challenge from Windle. The editordidn't know any Windle except theHotel Windle in Jacksonville, so hesaid, "Who's Windle?"

"0," said Mr. Upshaw, "he's editorof the Iconoclast and a speaker forthe wets. He will be here tomorrowand has challenged me to debate."

The editor, who tries to make peo-

ple believe that he knows everythingexcept a few minor matters, which hehas ' forgotten, shut up like a clam,because he had never heard of Windleand was ashamed to acknowledge hedid not have the pedigree of thatgreatman in the W' pigeonhole of hisbrain. y.

However, he was busy, as editors onafternoon papers have a habit of be-

ing at 1:30 p. m., and for three happyhours forgot his humiliation.

But, later, when the paper hadgone to press, in straying aroundtown, he found a circular, announcingin "six-lin- e pica letters of livinglight," as Bill Nye used to say, thatthe Hon. C. A. Windle would speakfrom the bandstand at 3:30 p. m.Saturday. "

That Mr." Windle Shouldspeak from the bandstand was a nor-

mal matter, but when the Star manread that "Windle has the surpass-ing eloquence of a Cicero and thetranscendent oratory of a Demos-then- os

(Demosthenes, we suppose,was meant), thai he could outdo thelamented Brann as a writer and onlyW. J. Bryan f could equal him as anorator," he skipped off to his den ay,

becauseHe had never heard of Windle.Can't see how we overlooked it. As

a matter of business as well as pleasure, we have tried to keep up with.the great speakers and writers of thenation for thirty-fiv- e years we haveread of Grady, Hill, -- Stephens, Beech-e- r,

IngersolC Bryan, Graves, Bob Da-

vis and Bob McNamee, of Watterson,Med ill, Dana, Pulitzer, Claude L'En-gl- e,

Josephus Daniels, Frank" Huf-fake- r,

Willis Powell, Hapgood andNogood (big bunch of the latter),Charlie Jones and J. Fred de Berry,but--

We never heard of Windle.Of late years, a galaxy of brilliant

writers have sprung up, among themAllen L. Benson, Chas. .Edward Russell, Arthur Little, Jack London, Up-ton Sinclair, Eugene Wood, Irvin S.Cobb, Phillips Russell, J. HowardMoore and Mark Sullivan, all opposedto the liquor traffic, and severalothers, who do not announce opposi-tion to it, but among all the stars inthe galaxy of literature

We don't find Windle.However, Windle must be all right,

because the circular says he is Brann'ssuperior as a writer and Bryan's peeras an orator, and we guess the print-sho- p

ran out of pica roman or itwould Vould have added, "he is fairas the moon, bright as the sun andterrible as an army with banners."

However, a friend has informed usthat hon. Windle is from Chicago, editor of the Iconoclast, which twenty-fou- r

years ago was made famous byBrann.

This gives us an interest in WindleWe set type on Brann's Iconoclast,when he was printing it in . Austin,Texas, almost twenty-fou- r years ago,and like all other men who knewB,rann esteemed him for his braveryand brilliancy. Brann was a geniusHe could take the English languagein his hand as a cowboy takes a stock-whip and lay its flaying 'lash acrossthe back of anything he didn't ap-

prove of. He made his little Texaspaper read and quoted all over Amer-ica. It was often right, sometimes'wrong, but always brave and brilliant.Twenty years ago, a stack of Icono-clasts came to an Ocala newsstandevery week and sold like hot cakes.But Brann was killed and his paperbecame as dull as the Commoner. We

. seldom see a copy and seldom see itquoted. So if Windle outdoes Brannas a writer, he must have. hid hislight under a bushel and then wreck-ed a freight train on top of the bushel.

THAT. CHALLENGE

Now, as for that challenge. Mr.Upshaw definitely announced lastSunday that his engagement in Mar-ion county would terminate Fridaynight, and that he must leave for Sa-
