Improved Spelling.

We are told that Congress, at its last session,
instructed the public printer to make the follow
ing changes in spelling: Drop the ue from
words like catalogue. but not from vogue. Drop
the final from words like fayorite, but not from
polite Drop tie from cigarette, etc. Drop final
me in words like programme. Change phi to f
in words like phase, telegraph, etc. Substitute
e for the diphthong CO and &c when they have
the sound of that letter. 1t is also said that the
National E litoria Association, at its Detroit
meeting, will adopt the new system of spelling.

LEON COUNTY TOBACCO.
Tampa Cigar Manufacturers Say Id
Is Equal TO stock That They Pay
From Three TO Four and a Half
Dollars Pound For


When Judge II. L. Mitchell was going to
Tampa on trip recently Capt. Patrick Houstoun
gave him an average sample of his tobacco
crop, taken right from the barn and never hav-
ing been through any other than the natural
process of curing, and requested the Judge to
show it to the cigar manufacturers of Tampa
and get their opinion of its quality as wrap
per. The Tampa cigar men said at first that
they did not care to look at the sample, having
all the stock they cared to handle unless it was
extra fine. Finally one of them picked up the
sample and carelessly glanced at it, He was
pleased He saw that it was better than the
average; gave it closer inspection and finally
called in other tobacco men to hold post NOR
tenn examination of the sample with him.
They were astOnished and delighted at
its fine quality and pronounced it equal if
not superior to tobacco for which they were
then paying from three dollars to four dollars
and a half per pound They declared the sam
pie to be ofunusual fine flavor, and of that soft
silky texture so desirable in cigar stock
This is quite feather in the cap of Leon
county Who will now say that old Icons
fertile soil is not specially adapted to to-
bacco culture? Get We to work, farmers of
Leon, and prepare for big crop next season.
There is wealth in the weed, and if you work it
right it will come to you.

The Manufacturers Record reports that soap
factory is to be built at Charleston, S. c.. in
which about $4,000 will be invested, and II
says that there is no reason why such factory
should not pay in every Southern town, because
of our being situated in the cotton-seed and rosin
country The Record urges the establishing of
soap factories in the South because they are
small industries and require only limited out~
lay of cash to establish them Then WHY
should not Tallahassee have one? If some man
with experience will notify the FLoR1D1AN of
his willingness to come here and manage such
factory, he taking stock in the enterprise, we do
not think there will be any trouble in organizing
stock company on short notice. Some soap
manufacturer who wants to move South will

SOME INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES
AND PERSONALS.

Chas. F. Scott N Cabital- Commonwealth.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 4.-By
the courtesy of General Arson G.. Nc
Cook, secretary of the Senate, I had
the pleasure recently of examining a
most interesting scrap book. 1t is q
large, handsomely bound volume and
contains original autograph copies Of
one or more of the messages of each
president, to the senate, beginning
with Washington and ending with
Cleveland. The first message, written
out in round, clerkly hand, reads as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate:
The president of the United States
will meet the senate in the senate
chamber, at half past IL O'Clock to-
morrow, to advise with them on the
terms of the treaty to be negotiated
with the southern Indians.
Go. WASHINGTON.
New York, August 81, 1885,"
The records show that Washing ton
twice met the senate for consultation
about important matters, but the prec-
edent thus set has not been followed
by any of his successors, although the
right of the president to attend and
take part in the deliberations of the
senate is unquestioned.
John Adams is represented by a
message written out in his own large
and somewhat labored hand, nominat-
ing John Quincy Adams minister to
Prussia. Imagine the howl that
would go up in these days if President
Harrison, for example, should take it
into his head to send his son on an i'm
portant diplomatic mission! Another
message of President Adams dominates
George Washington of Mt. Vernon"
to be lieutenant general and COM
mander-in-chief of the United States
forces.
Following these documents comes
the original manuscript Of the address
made by Thomas Jefferson upon tax
ing the chair as president in 1877.
1t is written in a small, cranlped hand
and is much erased and interlined.
Under the date of February Is, 1905,
We find a message from the house of
representatives to the senate, trans
hitting bill appropriating money for
the purchase from France and Spain
of the island Of New Orleans and the
provinces of east and west Florida.
The message states that the house had
considered this matter with closed
doors and requests that the senate re-
gard the message as confidential. 1t
will be observed that this volume
contains a good many land marks
that serve to show how far we have
travelled. Suppose the Fifty-frst CON-
gress should take a notion to close its
doors to consider On appropriation for
the purchase of Cuba! As for the sen-
ate, it started out by sitting with clos
ed doors liz legislative as well as execu-
