DECISION RENDERED
BY SUPREME court
AS IT Affects CO.
SUP1'S CASE

Tallahassee, May 14.-The supreme
court has transmitted to the Cover
nor an advisory opinion interpreting
Section Is, Article Nv Of the Constitu-
ton, in which it is held that the fill
ing Of elective Offices by persons dur
ing suspension Of the incumbent does
not create vacancy. This ruling will
affect great number of offices in the
approaching election.
The general effect of this opinion Is
to sustain Attorney General Van G,
Swearingen in a recent advisory opin-
ion to the Governor in which he held
that suspension Of an election Off
Ger does not create a vacancy such as
requires the Office to be filled at the
ensuing general election.
The text of the supreme courts
opinion to the Governor follows
To His Excellency, Sidney j. Cats
Governor of Florida, Tallahassee
Fla.
Sir:-Your communication o. May
10 has been duly received.
Section Is, Article ", of the State
Constitution is as follows:
"All officers that shall have beer
appointed or elected, and that are moi
liable to impeachment, may be sus.
pended from office by the Governo!
for malfeasance or misfeasance, OF
neglect of duty in office, for the com.
mission of any felony, or for drum
kenness or incompetency, and the
cause of suspension shall be commun.
icated to the officer suspended and tc
the Senate at its next session. And the
Governor, by and with the consent Of
the Senate, may remove any officer
not liable to impeachment, for any
cause above named, Every suspen-
sion shall continue until the adjourn
ment of the next session OF the Sen
ate. unless the officer suspended
shall, upon the recommendation OF the
Governor be removed; but the Gov
ernor may reinstate the officer Sc
SUSPENDED upon satisfactory evidence
that the charge or charges against
him are untrue If the Senate shall
refuse to remove, or fail to take &C.
tion before its adjournment, the Off
Ger suspended shall resume the du-
ties of the office The Governor snail
have power to fill by appointment any
office. the incumbent of which has
teen suspended, No officer suspended
who shall under this section resume
the duties of his office, shall suffer
any loss of salary or other compensa-
ton in consequence of such suspen-
sion, The suspension or removal
herein authorized shall not relieve
the officer from indictment for any
misdemeanor in office"
In contemplation of this section OF
the organic law, suspension from
office does not destroy but merely sus-
nends the right acquired by an cleo
finn to office. The suspended officer
mav he reinstated by the Governor, or
q tho term for which he was elected

Ipense Of growing Natal hay Is incon
siderable. After the first sowing the
grass renews itself from the seed.
Each year there is a better stand, :"
and heavier and cleaner crop--for
the grass eventually chokes out the
weeds. Last year, Notwithstanding
that the project has just gotten fairly
launched, we understand that invest
ors were paid a dividend of 20 per
cent. There is ready demand for
all the hay that can be produced and
all Of this seasons crop was sold at
the Natal station at $3.50 per ton.
The enterprise is purely cooper.
alive one, and appears to offer an
ideal proposition for the nonresident
investor. The buyer Of tract be-
comes member Of the Association,
which clears the land. does the nee
essary fencing, sows It to grass, cuts
and markets the crop. Each land own
er shares proportionately to his hold
ings in the profits Of all that is pro-
duced. For instance, this season there
was 200 acres Of new land which 1t
was thought would be profitable to
plant to melons. There is a magnifi-
cent prospect for crop, and the prof
its on this crop will be shared by all
members of the Association. Natal
grass, however, is, of course, the
standard crop, and others will be
merely incidental or side lines.
The Association is fortunate in hav-
Ing secured as its superintendent Mr..
f.. w. Pope, one of the best known
and most successful farmers of this
community--a very dynamo Of energy,
who makes things hum wherever he
operates. We found him very COM
fortably domiciled in what might be
called the administration building OF
the Association, and enjoyed his kind
ly and generous hospitality. When it
comes to the executive capacity, the
ability to direct men and machinery
and other qualities requisite to the
successful operation of big project
like this one, Mr.. Pope is a man In
ten thousand.
We came away from the big devel-
opment of this Association with a
wholly different impression from that
which we entertained before our Wis
1t. We knew that much was being
done, but much more had been accom-
plished than we expected to find. and
possibilities seem TO be involved In
the proposition that we had not re-
motely considered. The grass IS Just
now shooting up from the earth. We
would like to see 1t again in so days
or less, when 1t will be ready for the
harvest and when 1t will cover the
earth with mantle Of purple bios
som. There is money in Natal hay,
il there is in any crop that can be
produced In Florida. There is money
in the seed; there are numberless pos
sibilities in manufacturing the hay
into sweet feed, in making a poultry
food of which the chopped hay would
be the basis. But there Is sufficient
profit, we should think, in the cult
walton of the grass for the hay only
crop involving less labor than most.
We feel that new industry has beer,
created In Florida--one that will pre-.
vent the constant out-go of money
from the State which has heretofore
been necessary to provide food for
STOCK. 1t is one Of the many things
heretofore undreamed of that is des.
tined to help in making Florida great
