SETTING THE CLOCK FAST.


Pleasant Sort of Deception Conn
mon to Many People.
II is common thing to find the
clocks IN nine out of ten households
either fifteen minutes or half an hour
fast, and should you happen to be in a
hurry or mention the fact that you
have to be going you are at once reas-
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock is 50 much
ahead OF the time.
Has 1t ever occurred 10 you why
clocks are usually put aheadi' Some
physicians have said it is due to lazi-
ness, for it is such satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when he has to get
up at IN the morning and strains his
half closed eyes to look at the clock
that it is half an hour fast and he has
so much more time to dOZe, with the
result that he oversleeps himself any
how and misses his train or boat
Said matchmaker when asked
about the subject:
Yes, it is a peculiar thing with most
people TO put their clocks fast, and.
while there may be some satisfaction
in 1t when it comes to doing a little
longer, there is really no advantage in
II. for when you wake up, say, at and
glance at the clock and IL registers half
past 8, the fact remains that 1t is
half hour fast. While this may make
you feel easier knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to doze, | confess
| don't see much advantage in it.
"Why not have the clock rightf 1t is
the same thing In the end.
Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do you
think people would miss thereby This
putting clocks fast is really only a
pleasant form Of deception which peO-
pie Ike to practice on themselves, but
it does more harm than good. New

VOTING Will BE Easy.
Five Democratic Presidential
Electors VIII Appear FIRST.

Electors viii Appear FIRST.
For the past three weeks the News
has kept standing an alphabetically
arraged list of the various presto en-
tia electors who are appealing to
Florida voters for support with the
statement that the n%mes would APP
pear in Ike order on the ticket to be
voted next Tuesday. In order that
democrats might familiariZe them
selves with the names OF the demo-
cratic electors, we placed an y mark
before each democratic elector.
The authority Of thesNews for this
statement was the Jacksonville
Times Union. But the Times Union
was mistaken and this paper copied
the mistake.
The jacksonville Metropolis still
insists that the names must appear
alphabetically. But they will not so
appear in Putnam county. The at
torney general of Florida has stated
that there is nothin in the law requi-
ring the alphabetical arrangement of
names of electors on the ticket.
The encouragement is right.
Chairman F. j. Fearnside of the
board of county commissioners said
tO the News:
You may simply say that when
the county commissioners OF
this county want to know their du-
ty in any matter, we consult the
statutes of Florida and not the Jack
sonviIle Metropolis Our tickets
have already been printed and the
rames OF the democrats are the
FIRST FIVE NAMES on the list of
presidential electors; the electors of
other parties follow. This has been
the custom in Florida for years, and
will continue to be in Putnam county
so long as the law remains as it is.
The Metropolis and the Times Union
have gotten the primary election law
and the general election law mixed.
The former requires that names of
candidates for each office be ar
ranged alphabetically; the latter
does not"
Following is the list of electors rs
they will appear on the ticket next
Tuesday. The first five with the y
mark before their names are the
democratic. or Parker and Davis
electors. Those that follow are the
electors of the republican, populist
and socialist parties.
