A good many years ago Sidney ]
Cats killed a negro in self-defense-
shot him when the negro was advanc.
ing on him with a loaded gun. He
was promptly acquitted. The st. Pc
tersburg Times thinks Mr.. Cats
ought to be defeated for governor
because he killed that negro. The
Lakeland Telegram and Ocala Star
are even more unfair and state as q
positive fact that Mr.. Cats escaped
responsibility for the killing by plead
ing insanity and entering an insane
asylum.-Daytona Journal.
The Star didn't state anything OF
the sort. What's the matter with
you, Hugh? Have you Cattsyphobia
so badly that it has driven you te
misrepresenting your old friends?

The Black Point correspondent of
the Tampa Times writes the follow
ing to his paper: "Capt. Edward
Drake, who has been in command of
Company A, of Ocala two years, abs
resigned, on account of business rea-
sons, and for the time being First
Lieutenant Campbell is in command
of the company. Ocala has the larg-
est company in the regiment, and ii
is composed of some of Florida
finest material in the shape of man
hood. Captain Drake has had years
of experience in the army, having
served through the Boer war with the
English troops, and has large circle
of friends who will regret to see him
leave the service. In Lieutenant
Campbell the Ocala company is for
tunate in having one of the most ef-
ficient officers in the state, and should
he be promoted to the captaincy there
is no question but what he will make
an Al commander"

The Star has received from the
Florida railroad commission letter
quoting the following paragraph pub
lished in this paper some weeks ago:
Gainesville has wide-awake and en-
terprising business men, and they are
helped by railroads, which the state
railroad commission allows to dis
eliminate against Ocala in the matter
of rates." The commissioners saw
the foregoing in the Gainesville Sun
and requested the Star to name the
specific instance in which the car
riers had been allowed to discrimi-
nate in favor of Gainesville against
Ocala. In reply we beg leave to in
form the esteemed railroad commits
sioners that if they read the Star
every day, as men in their position
should, they would have found out
that the Star had investigated the
matter and corrected its statement
The Star finds that the principal
reason why Ocala suffers from high
freight rates it that its business men
do not pull together and utilize the
great natural advantage they have
in the Oklawaha river. There are
also some other things they do no,
do that they should do, and unless
they adopt different policy they
must submit to be undersold on then
own doorsteps.

EXTEND HALF HOLIDAY
TO FIRST OF OCTOBER

Upon making inquiry among the
merchants of the city the Star finds
that many of them are disposed to
observe the Thursday half holiday
until October two weeks longer
than originally agreed on. All of
those favoring the extension of the
time do so provided that the other
merchants follow suit.
Upon inquiry the Star finds that
the following are disposed to observe
the Thursday half holiday, for the adj
ditional two weeks:
Rheinauer & Co., Helvenston's
Ocala Bargain House, The Globe
Masters, o. K. Grocery, Marion
Hardware Co.
Some of the merchants favor OBJ
serving the holiday all the year
round, provided every merchant falls
in line.

n1er and it was hot-and it was about
l o'clock p. m. and no one stirring
unless he was obliged to, and this
sentinel thought he could sit down by
the oak and lean back against it, and
so he did, and he must have dozed, for
just then Col. Presley came upon
him and said, ''Tired, Crawford? All
right, | will send some one to take
your place and take you to where you
can take good long rest" And so
it was, the corporal of the guard soon
came with another man, and Craw-
ford spent the next three days in the
guard tent and did three days extra
duty. The boys never did cease to
mag" Crawford about it. All that
was necessary was to sing out when
he came in sight, "Tired Crawford ?"
Another sentinel at the same post had
better luck. He was on at night and
while standing under the big live oak
he began sticking his bayonet into
the ground thinking to clean it in that
way. The full moon was on duty in a
clear sky and presently the guard
heard metallic sound and looking
down saw something bright in the
moonlight, and picking it up it prov
ed to be Spanish or Mexican silver
dollar! He kept up digging then until
by the time he was relieved he had
unearthed seven dollars. Of course he
told it and then all under that old
tree was dug up and as well as now
remember there were thirty or forty
of old silver dollars found. How did
they get there? I can't tell you-may-
be like Little Brooches got in the
sheep-fold. The most disagreeable
and tiresome, though not the most
dangerous, picket duty we ever had
to perform was while we were at
Secessionville. It was done in small
row-boats at night. The detail con-
sisted of sergeant and four men
and was supplied with different col
ored rockets to be sent up in case the
enemy was discovered approaching in
small boats from Folly Island with
the intention of making a night at
tack. The color of the rocket sent
up by the picket would indicate the
point where the attack was threaten
ed and the size of the force. The
pickets were required to go up the
creek until they reached a point half
way between Secessionville and the
mouth of Light House Inlet, and re-
main there all night and exercise ex-
IRENE vigilance. The reader can well
imagine how terrible tiresome it was
to sit all night long on the narrow
and uncomfortable seat of an ordinary
fisherman's boat, with scarcely room
enough to change ones position
think of it! For ten long hours ir
such position and yet through it al
we must, as Jim Ard, who had under.
gone the duty, said on his return tc
camp, "Keep wigilant watch out fol-
war vessels over towards Vinegar
HILL" And so it is my readers,
In this old world of ours
The path to what we want ne'er runs
through flowers.
'Tis via crucis all the way you see,
With here and there Gethsemene.
/ Laurie T. Izlar.

Comrade Schneider called on his

Tavares has a $4,000 schoolhouse

Eustis has one which cost $4,000

"REMINISCENCES
VIII.

While we occupied Secessionville it
was frequently shelled by federal
batteries erected on small island,
the name of which | do not just now
recall lying between James and Long
Islands. Of course when the "feds"
began Smelling bouts our batteries did
not remain silent but would hand
them back as good as they sent. On
one such occasion our lieutenant col
onel, John G. PRESLEY, was at one of
our batteries directing the firing. He
had a young brother who was pri-
vate in one of the companies in our
regiment, and while the colonel was
at the battery as above stated, some
one came running to him and after
saluting said, Colonel, your brother
has been wounded by fragment of
she'll" The colonel asked, as he
seriously wounded?" To which the
reply was made, 81 do not think it is
serious, but quite severe and pain
full" To which the colonel replied, 81
am very sorry to hear it, and turn
ing to the battery officer who was
commanding the firing squad, he said
.Give them another shell, lieutenant,
which was Immediately done, and the
colonel stood with his field-glass and
watched the effect of it and continued
to do so until the federal batteries
ceased firing, and then he went tc
see that his brother had proper sur
gical attention. This same Col. Press,
ley was a remarkable man in many
particulars. He was a strict discip
linarian and insisted upon every man

military rules and regulations to the
letter. He had a remarkable memory
of names and faces. / believe ht

in all conditions and while the boys
used to peeve somewhat at his stricr
observance of rules and regulation.
while in camp, they always wanted

when we had to go into action. /

right and acting for our best interes

in the days and months that came t,
