This movement has been in contempla-

recognized the need Of establishing such

Editor Daily Register.
L noticed in the Daily Register
of the 9th inst. statement which
warned your readers to beware of
the oranges now in market, on ac-
count of worm found in them.
I am writing this letter hoping
you will publish it, to let the read
ers of the Daily Register know
that those oranges so affected, are
not Florida fruit, they are Mexican
oranges. / was told short while
ago, by resident of Cincinnati,
that dealers of that place had gone
to Mexico and bought whole groves
of oranges. 1t seems they have
the same worm in them that you
mention.
What oranges are left from the
freeze of '95 in Florida are perfect
and continue to be the best oranges
that are grown, especially Indian
River ones, which sell here now at
SIS per box, and which are noted as
the very best by all who have tast-
ed them.
There are a few oranges in this
part of Florida this year next; year
there will be very many more, and
a few years will see the groves once
more loaded with fruit, said to be
the finest in the world.
Very truly yours,
ALICE E. CAPEHARr.

CHARLESTON, Feb. Ia, 1897.
Both Houses adjourned early
Friday until Monday at 10 a. m.
What the object of this waste of
time was, we do not know, unless
it was to give the members a chance
to visit their homes at the expense
of the State.
The bill providing CLONE for
the Incurables," passed the Senate
Friday, on very close vote, and if
it meets with favor in the House,
it will become law. It is better
for the State to expend money for
such institutions than to be giving
it away in appropriations to Gen
tennials."
The Goldbug Democrats of West
Virginia have been called together
by their Executive Committee. and
will assemble at Charleston Mon
day and big attendances expect
ed.
A bill to amend the code, SO that
negros can be made eligible to ap-
pointment as guards at the peniten-
tiary, and presented by Mr.. Math-
ews, is now on its second reading.
The Augusta county bill has
been laid upon the table, and will
not show its hydra-head again dur
ing this session.
Partisanism ran wild in the SEN
ate Saturday, when it rushed
through the bill under the caucus
whip, to take out of the hands of
Gov. Mace orkle, the appointment
of University Regents, and put it
into the hands of Gov. Atkinson.
Four Republican Senators voted
against the bill. The majority
in the Legislature are after every
thing in sight, and besides are
creating new Offices and commits
sions by the score, to reward party
workers. The conduct of the pres
emit Legislatures is not only dis
graceful, but absolutely ruinous.

tinel in his paper of Saturday, says

Correspondence Register.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 18th. 1897.
There cannot be very interest
ing letter written from here to-day,
because the Legislature adjourned
from Friday noon until Monday
at 10 a. m. in order to give the
members, who were close enough,
a trip home and return at the
States expense
At 10 a. m. this morning the
Legislature began again to grind,
and was found that the members
who had been home ON a visit
during the recess, had changed
their minds on some bills that are
before the Legislature. In some
cases against. and in others in
favor. This was quite a bomb to
some of the lobbyists, and
they see their pet measures
slipping away from them.
There is now no doubt but the
bill establishing Home for In
curables Will be passed by the
House, and we will have one more
humane institution in the State,
and probably located at some in
accessible point, like the Spencer
Asylum has been.
Gov. MacCorkle will veto the
partisan bill passed under the gag
rule, preventing him from filing
the vacancies in the Regents of
the Morgantown State University.
The new election law prepared
by the bosses, will come up as the
special order in the Senate at 2 p.
m. to-day, and its consideration
will consume much time.
A Republican CAUCUS of the two
Houses is called for tonight at Z
o'clock, to discuss and agree upon
several subjects of legislation that
is deemed of special interest to the
party.
The bill providing for holding
all the terms of the Supreme Court
at Charleston, has been defeated.
Mr.. Harvey's reassessment Bill
seems fairly on the way to final
passage, and it is measure that
deserves enactment into law. By
it's provisions assessors will be APP
pointed by the County Courts, and
all assessment work removed from
the jurisdiction of the Board of
Public Works. AS illustrating
some of the advantages the bill
offers it may be pointed out that
in the southern coal regions and
the sections of the State improved
by the building of railroads there
in property is assessed at the
merely nominal valuation of dol
lar or two an acre, and while it is
in truth worth $50 or $50 an acre,
and some of it has actually been
disposed of at Sheriff's sale at the
former price. Then, on the other
hand, there is property here in
Charleston assessed at only $1,000
which is honestly worth 100000.
The passage of this measure will
tend to the removal of such incon-
sistencies as these. Moreover, it
has this further recommendation,
in that it is of non-partisan char
acter. g.
