THE FLOMU GENEROUS 10 VETERANS Pays Out More Money to Sus tain Old Soldiers Than Any Other Southern State and Builde Monuments to Memory- Confederate Reunion May •,* 7, 8, at Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Fla.—The State oJ Florida pays out more money per capita for the support of dependent ex-Confederate soldiers than any oth* er Southern State. This fact should be sufficient to convince ex-Confeder* ates everywhere that when they and their descendants visit Jacksonville on the occasion of the 24th annual reunion of the Culted Confederate Veteran's Association that they will be in the hands of their friends. The reunidh will be held May ♦’>, 7. 8 The handsome total of $6<)0,u00 per annum is being paid by the state for support of ex-Confederate pensioners. The averag? yearly amount paid to each person on the .pension list, ac cording ,to the latest .report of the State Board of Pensions, is $121 25, while the average paid to old soldirrs is $122.30. Widows of Confederate soldiers draw an average of C12o per annum. Since the report from which these figures are taken was made, the legislature has passed a still more lib eral pension law, which will authorise additional payments of approximately 1150,000 a year, making the total $750,- 000 per annum paid to Confederate pensioners fcy the state. There are 1.63S soldier pensioners oa the rolls of the state and 2,227 widows of Confederates, making a to tal of 4,180. The fund to support this pension roll is raised by a tax of four mills on the assessed property of the taxpayer. Florida ho aot only caring for tba living but the memory of the dead ia also kept green. Throughout the state handsome Confederate monuments have been erected by both public and private means. All told there are twenty, or possibly more, handsome Gtn. W. K. tebring Jacksonville, Fla* Adjutant Gensral Florida Division United Confederate Veterans. Confodorate monuments la the state, and others are yet to be erected. A home for r ex-Confederate soldiers Is maintained at Jacksonville. Last year the stats appropriated $5,000 to the Confederate soldiers’ home In this city. Two Confederate monuments have been-erected here, and a monu ment may be dedicated 4o the Women of the Confederacy during the coming reunion. t This brief exposition of the work that Florida is doing for the ex-Con federate soldiers, living and dead, ia proof that the people of the state will extend a warm and generous welcome to the old soldiers and their friends .on the occasion of the Jacksonville reunion Florida, while sltuafed far South ef the great theater of war of 1861-’45, felt the shock of the conflict. Jacksonville was occupied four differ ent times by the federals. The pur poses of this occupancy, according to official reports on file in archives of the War Department, were to keep the St. Johns river open from its mouth to the bead of navigation and to arm the negroes for service in the I’nion Army. • The small Confederate force In East Florida In 1863 was com manded by Oen. Joseph Klftegan. On March 13, 1863, Gen. Flnegan Issued a proclamation here in which he said:. 'T feel It my duty as brigadier-gen eral commanding this district to in form the people of the district and of the state that our unscrupulous enemy has landed a large force of negroes, under command of white officers, at Jacksonville, under cover of gunboats. He is attempting to fortify the place so as to make It secure against 'at tacks. The purpose of this movement is obvious and need not be mentioned in direct terms. It is sufficient to in spire the whole body of people w.th a renewed and sterner purpose of resist ance. I therefore call on such of the citizens as can possibly leave. their hemes to arm and organize themselves into companies without d?!ay aud rw port to me.'* ■'» Hen H. Saxton (l\ S. A.t in a re port to the'War Department dated March 14, 1863, says; "The' object of fhig expedition was to occupy J.o - *- sonvili# and make it the base of opera- turns for (be arming of negroes and securing in ibis way possession of ihe •nur* 'buoe of Florida."
