Public Utilities.

The committee on private coTpo-
rations met to give a further public
hearing on the Hicks bill providing
for publicity OF accounts of private
utility corporations. T. B. Cochran
of Austin spoke in behalf of Austin
street railways against the bill. He
declared that this bill came between
the Robertson bill allowing the city
council to fix rates on public utilities
and the Williams intangible assets
bill requiring an annual report Janu-
airy /, whereas this bill requires a
useless report in September. Judge
E. B. Perkins of Dallas spoke
against the bill, declaring that 1t
would be injurious in all but the
three largest cities in the state be-
cause it would destroy the market
for the bonds of public utility com
panies Mr. Cobbs addressed the com
mittee in favor of the bill, claiming
that this regulation obtained in thir-
teen states in the union and answer
ed crying necessity,
Judge He,-ry sayle of Abilene, as
the representative On capital, spoke
in favor of the bill. The quorum
was broken before the vote was tak->
en-, but the bin will undoubtedly be
fayorably reported

lass, requiring fire, marine and acci-
dent insurance companies TO pay IL
per cent damages and reasonable at
torney's fees when suits are brought

las and J. NJ. Cotton of Houston ap-
peared before the committee pro-

horse racing on Sunday. The house
killed several amendments. one of
which sought to time the racing
period. During the discussion on the
bill Mr.. Williams took occasion TO
declare that it was not the sole pur-
pose of The legislature to enacr laws
governing the morals Of the people
Brown tWharton) said thar the pres
ent law was worthless, as he had been
in Houston several times and had
dropped into the Turf Exchange, and
there with his own eyes he had seen
pool selling in fall sway.

Work on Appropriation Bill.

The house committee on appro-
priatioas is now ready TO begin con
s'a9ration of the skeleton bill, which
has been introduced by Chairman
". O. Murray, AS has already been
stated, the bin carries as a basis or
ground work appropriations OF So
10000 for each OF the two years
This sum provides merely for the
fixed charges of the state govern
ment. such as the maintenance of
the several eleemosynary institutions
and state departments. Not one cent
is carried for improvements. repairs
or enlargements Chairman Murray
has been exceedingly busy ever since
the legislature convened in getting
from different sources estimates of
the appropriations necessary for
the two years. RE has also made
careful estimate OF the appropria-
tions that will be actually necessary
In addition to the footings carried
by the skeleton bill. He calculated
that the general revenue deficiency
Of the state treasury on September
1, 1905, will aggregate s7Z3, 400.
The appropriation deficiency which
will have to be provided for is plac-
ed at 100000. The legislature has
already appropriated 100000 fer
mileage and per diem, SEQ zoe for
expenses. $1,000 for mile
age and per diem of presidential cleo
tors. and s25 .000 for the Alamo pur-
chase for the first year These sums
aggregate sl290, 600. which must DE

tion 10 the x3,lo0.010. making a
total OF t4.g90. GOO Of appropriations
which are absolutely required to DE
made for the first year. In addition
To these appropriations il is certain
that the Legislature will pass a num-
ber of special appropriation bills
There are already a large number OF
the bills which carry appropriations
in the house and senate In addi-
tton 90 these there are other meas
ares which propose To increase the

EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING

Et0r1 EGNIH ANiNOHE WE tNS
The eighteenth annual meeting OF
the Florida State Horticultural So
ciety will be held in Jacksonville, COM
mencing the evening of the 9th Of May
and continuing the 10th, 18th, and
18th; and it is earnestly hoped that
this meeting will be the largest in the
history of the society.
The Jacksonville Board of Trade
has extended to the society the use of
their magnificent auditorium in which
to hold tine meetings, and are making
preparations to entertain the members
in their usual liberal and hospitable
manner.
The transportation companies have
made a rate of one fare, plus 25c for
the round trip, but members must
have certificate OF membership
which is furnished by the society. TO
surrender to the ticket agent before
the ticket will be issued at the re.
duced rate. So 1t behooyes members
to write early for their certificates,
which can be had by sending $I-e0 to
the secretary, Mr.. E. o. Painter, Jack.
sonyille, Fla.
The annual reports of this society
are alone worth more than the S1.00
charged for membership fees. as they
contain the experience of some Of tbs
best horticulturists and agriculturists
| in the state, including valuable pa
pers from some OF our scientific men.
| The society is doing a good work
and needs the support of every ems
interested in the development of oul
state. Instead of 400 members, il
should have 1000. You can help II
by sending 800 to z. o. Painter

THE WILLIE BOY.
In the busy haunts of men
You'll find the Willie Boy,
He dresses well. is sweet TO smell
And is my lady's joy.
He frequents those establishments
Where soda waters sold,
AND though in courage lacking yet
He's often very bold.
While pianist loudly thumps
Some pleasing ragtime air
The Willie boy doth strut about
Before admirers fair.
He ogles here and ogles there,
In flirting takes great pains,
And often makes deal of noise
Although he has no brains.
Before the door he likes to stand
And view the passing show,
You'd think he really owned the earth
If you could hear him blow.
Young misses who have not the brains
To fill peanut shell
Dote upon the Willie Boy and
An0 Of his graces tell.
He never works, he never thinks
He simply talks and talks,
While often for a change OF air
Along the street he walks.
The Willie Boy should be suppressed
Put out Of business quickly,
Doth make the people sickly.

fLL-ApvrsED REFLECTION ON
AN EscAMBIA REPRESENTATIVE

In an editorial dealing with what it
terms as the game of graft" the
Tampa Tribune makes what cannot
be regarded other than most Had
viseG allusion to Mr.. A%ery's bill pro-
viding for a separation of the races
in street cars.
Whatever the Tribune or anyone
else may think about the advisability
of what is known as the Jim Crow"
law, no one who knows Mr.. J. Camp
bell Avery would attribute to him
any thing but the most worthy of
motives in introducing such meas
ure, and as the Tribune evidently
does not know him it should not have
jumped to such hasty conclusions as
the editorial in question contains.
There is not in the present legisla-
ture higher-toned gentleman, or one
whose integrity is more beyond ques-
ton than the able young representa-.
tive from Escambia and The Journal
trusts that the Tribune viii make the
proper AMENDS by withdrawing its III
advised reflection on his motives in
presenting the bill referred to.
The Journal has not seen Mr.
Avery's bill and cannot. therefore
discuss it in detail, but it is frank te
say that bill providing for the sepa
ration of the races in street cars
should be passed. A measure can bt
framed which will be entirely prae
ticable, will entail no expense on the
street car companies, and viii not dis
