STANDARD TIME

During the National Democratic
Convention in San Francisco, the
Star had good many disputes with
its friends about the difference in
time. During the war, these same
friends had got wise to the fact that
"a dispatch dated in London or Paris

noon, and telling of great battle at
dawn of that day. would arrive here
lat 10 or IL a. m, and many things

fall were flashed westward in time TO
be printed in the American evening
papers But they were slow to real
ize that breakfast was over here
when San Francisco was beginning
to take its second nap, and Ocala
was beginning to think about dinner
while Frisco was leisurely arising
from a late breakfast. Most of the
dispatches came thru generally very
fast. One filed IN San Francisco at
|3:17 p. m. reached Ocala at 6:36,
which means that it made the trip in
nineteen minutes. Now. as for the
standard time belts, they are as fol-
lows:
Primarily, for the convenience of
the railroads, standard of time was
established by mutual agreement in
1883, by which trains are run and
local time regulated. According to
this system, the United States, ax-

sections, each 15 deg. of longitude,
exactly equivalent to one hour, COM

SOLDIERS CEMETERIES

Mr.. Wyckoff Of Citra meant well
when he spoke of the care of The
United States government for its sol
der dead, but he did not study his
subject as closely as he should have
before speaking. National cemeter-
les were principally result of the
civil war. Fort King was an army
post, one of several hundred held by
the government between its organi-
zation to the present time. The re-
mains of men dying at such posts
have mostly been buried there, and it
Mr. Wyckoff will enquire he will find
that their graves are scattered from
the Philippines to Maine, and from
the Virgin Islands to Alaska. There
were many of them before there was
such a thing as national cemetery.
We don't think there are any Con-
federate soldiers buried in national
cemeteries, tho there may be some
buried at army posts, just as there
are number of Union soldiers buried
in southern graveyards. Fort King
had been an army post several years
before the Seminole war, and several
men had already died and been buried
there. Contrary to popular opinion
ther was no battle nor massacre at
Fort King itself. Gen. Thompson
agent of the government in Florida
with party of friends, on Dec. %
1895, were partaking of a dinner at
a storehouse about $50 yards from
the fort, when they were unexpected
~ attacked by Osceola and a party
OF Indians. Gen. Thompson and foul
of his companions were killed and
scalped, and the Indians made their
retreat to the woods before the
troops from the fort could come to
the rescue. There was not anything
like battle at Fort King. 1t was
too strong a place for Indians to at.
tack. But there were four bloody
battles fought in fifty miles of the
fort during the war, many of the
wounded were brought there, some
died there, and some Of them un-
doubtedly were hnMi@d here. Fort
