Experiments that nre now being
made with the palmetto in Florida
point to the growth of new and
profitable industry from the prolific
scrub growth of the. Florida forests
and fields. 1t has been proved that
the leaf OF the saw palmetto can be
0ronnd intn-a-,a,,ln which makes nm OK.
cellent article of hollow ware For do
mestic and other uses, and tho present
experiments are expected to prove the
adaptability of this material to the
making of all kinds of paper. For
some time past the peculiar cabbage.
like substance in the top of the cab
bage palmetto has been used with the
tender tops as well, as fibre in the
manufacture of parchment. 1t is now
proposed to obtain cheap paper fibre
from the ordinary scrub plant. Some
of this pulp has been successfully
worked up by manufacturing con-
Germ in Boston into pals, tubs, basins
and other hollow-wa ware. The supply Of
saw palmetto is practically inexhaust-
iblo in Florida. Millions OF acres arc
covered with it, and when cut down to
the ground it grows up again two OF
three times n year. The Florida
Times Union, commenting on its pro-
jected use, says that for plant that
grows without cultivation, and in such
inexhaustible quantities, the saw pal.
metto bids fair to have "moro money
In it than most of the cultivated crops
of Florida" and adds: ga fibre made
from the leaf can he used protitabiy
by upholsterors wherever curled hair,
moss, or excelsior is used; the root
can be turned into brushes of almost
endless forms and inuumerablo uses;
and the poplar and other wood pulps
OF commerce are now likely to find u
dangerous rival in palmetto pulp"

Local Option in Roanoke, Va.

Roanoke, VA.-Thc local optionists
won in the election by 142 ma 'jority, in a
total vote of 3, 500, thereby carrying the
city against licensing the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. The election was the
most exciting one ever held here, the
contest having beeo vigorously carried
on for the past two months. The minis.
tcrs were all on the side of the local
optionists and prominent lawyers and
business men opposed the movement. 1t
is estimated that the city will be deprived
of upwards of $50, 600 direct revenue by
the election.
