HAY-NOT HAYSEED.
The subject of hay and the price
thereof was the subject of interchange
between the gentleman from fernando
and the gentleman from Lafayette to-
day. The Tampa fair appropriation
ketable price of hay and the quality Ae
hay were aired In the house. Mr. Mac
Williams wanted to amend the bill so
that the premiums originally offered
should be paid and that the revised
list, which was published later ad
vancing certain premiums, should go
unpaid. Mr.. Stringer was opposed to
the amendment. The premiums were
raised after due consideration of the
fitness of things. For example the IS
premium offered for a bale Of pea-vine
hay was not sufficient in amount to
pay for that bale of hay. viii the
gentleman from fernando yield to a
question:" asked Mr.. Gornto. Il will
attempt to answer the gentleman when
have finished" said Mr.. Stringer, and
he proceeded to speak further to the
amendment. But the gentleman from
Lafayette was impatient; he again
tried to interrupt with the same result.
When Mr.. Stringer finished he an
nounced himself ready for the question.
Does the gentleman mean to say that
they are paying IS a bale for pea-vine
hay in Hernandez But the gentle
man from fernando lodged. I'VE are
paying more than that for crab-grass
hay" he said, "and that isn't as good
as pea-vine hay"

Lake Okeechobee to Lake Worth. The
delegation is composed of Thos. Camp

canals but they have money available
for road building and it is proposed
to buy bank of the canal for a road

Jennings interest have offered to pay
$4,000 in the cause and it is expected
that the trustees will do the rest,
which will be, upon rough estimate,
some $4,000 more. The canal will be
about thirtyf1ve miles long.
