THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE.
The Election Law May Not BE Re-
pealed.

Tallahassee Fla, March a.-The legis-
Iature VIII convene tomorrow. AS re-
CARDS the presidency of the Senate Mr..
Adams and his friends are very Jealous
and claim majority of two. Mr.. Myers
and his supporters are very passive and
confident of success.
OF the four candidates for speaker.
Messrs. Jennings, Gilchrist and Brown
are here.
Since the disasters OF the severe win
ter have fallen 50 heavily upon the people
and railroads alike, 1t is very evident that
there has been a reaction In public senti-
ment as regards the establishment of a
railroad commission In Florida, and some
are now claiming that the Legislature will
not enact a commission law.
II is equally APPARENT that there is a
sentiment against changing the election
law. While the cdvocates Of the present
law are very quiet, the feeling in favor
of retaining 1t is growing. and the friends
of the measure may succeed in defeating
its repeal by consent1ng to proposed
amendments.

fine dry weather we are now having, and

vest. Fruit trees of every kind are liter
ally swinging with blooms and many or
chards that were too young to bear in
the past, will give heavy yield this year.
Farmers are more cheerful over the out
look than they have been in long time.

will hardly change the determination of
farmers to curtail the cotton crop The
pork packing factory here has done u
fine business up to now, but has been
compelled to suspend operation until
there are more hogs in the country. This
fact is a great incentive to farmers to raise
hogs and a great revival in hog raising.
