Everybody who has been in Flor>

learned that the scrub palmetto, a
stunted palm growth, has been a
poor, despised thing ever since white
men trod Florida soil. 1t has been
looked upon as worthless and cum.
brous tc the land, and those who
have ploughed it up and made every
effort TO kill it out have considered
1t curse. But it is now more than
likely that it will be looked upon as
an article of value to the owners of
the land where it grows. Its berries
have been found to contain rare
medical qualities; the root is said to
contain large percentage OF tannin,
and some works have been started
to convert the leaves into fibre.
A factory has been put up at Jack
sonville to work these leaves into a
fibre which, it is claimed, will make
the best of rope and mating, and is
used tor making hats, mattresses and
and upholstery.

TOMMIE WATSON was nominated

crat by democrats, his opponent be-
ing a Republican. Now, Tommie
refuses to act with the Democrats in

should claim to be a Baptist, court
the favor and receive a call to q
Baptist church, and then afterwards
refuse to act with Baptists, or give
his influence to promote the best
interests of the Baptist Church, but
consort with another denomination,
he would be deemed as having de.
MED the faith, and would be asked
to resign as pastor of the Baptist
Church. Then as Watson no long,
