EDITOR REPUBLICAN The con.
sideration of the constitutional con.
vention bills occupied the attention
of the Senate the greater part of last
week. The Hayes bill. providing for
taking the sense of the people in re-
gard to calling a constitutional con.

at the same time voting for delegates
thereto, was reported favorably by
the committee. Senator Lanes bill,

in favor of convention, then the fol-

election of delegates thereto, and the
assembling of the convention. receiv-
ed an unfavorable report. The occa-

ate the opportunity to display their
legal talent, of which there seems to
be no scarcity. Senators Hayes and
Rayner. from the city, and Lane and
Edelen, from the counties. delivered
the principal speeches. all of which
reflect credit oHstiose gentlemen, but
the county Senators appear to be con-
sidered as having made the best legal
arguments.
The time in the House was mostly
given to the preparation of bills for
passage. A number have passed and
a great many are on the way. in fact
so many that not once during the
week was the House able to reach the
bills on their third reading. A few
were passed under suspension of the
rules. A little uneasiness is felt for
the bill to reimburse the Garrett
county school fund. introduced by
Mr., Weimer. 1t has gone to the com
mittee on Ways and Means and we
expect to do our best to secure
favorable report for it. We hope the
members from the counties that re.
ceive a double portion of the state
fund will not insist upon depriving
our county of this portion of the State
school tax.

At Tampa. about 200 miles south

along with the rest of the State, the
people of this community are loosers

Groves here are held 20 per cent
higher than before the freeze. The
reason for this is found in the fact
that we are on a

For reasons not altogether plain to

vile, enjoys remarkable immunity
from killing frosts. This fact has
been observed for some years, and
has been more strikfngly illustrated
this winter. In part certainly, the
explanation is found In the fact that
we have four mile-wide river to
the west of US, the warm surface of
which takes the sharp edge off the
cutting northwest winds.

the State and her industries, estimate
