That the bill can be put
through there is no doubt, but
whether il will ever become law
depends On the attitude the PreSi-
dent takes. The fact that the Ne
groeS of the South were called
upon without question to do their
part i'll the war in the draft army
and otherwise will be pressed by
the Republicans as evidence of the
feeling that they should receive
the rights of citizens if they are to
be called upon to perform the du-
ties of citizens.
1t is certain that Southern men,
berS of Congress will make a bit
ter fight against the innovation.
1t would mean that instead of the
big delegation now in Congress
from the CarolinaS. Georgia. Tex
as, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida,
Virginia and Tennessee there
woudl be probably onc-quarter as
many.

which they were qualified, though
criticized by those aversed to the

WEATHER AND CROP
REPORT FOR WEEK
Rainfall generally Less Over Entire
State.

The weekly weather and crop con-
ditions report for the week ending Sep
TENDER % follows:
Temperature-The mean tempera-
ture for the week.
Precipitation-The weeks rain was
generally less tEan the usual amount
for September, except in Hillsboro
county, where the excess exceeded
more than 2 inches. No rain fell at
some stations in the north and west
The greatest amount during the week
was $50 inches at Tampa. Moder-
ate amounts occurred, also, in portions
of Lafayette, A1achua, fernando, Polk,
Washington and Jackson counties. Elk
cept Tampa the total rainfall at sew
era1 regular stations was less than
one-quarter inch.
Condition of Crops-The week was
generally favorable for the harvesting
of cotton, corn, peanuts, and hay, ex-
except in some localities, where the
work was delayed Ey showers. AS a
rule, however, such work progressed
favorably, and most of the corn crop
has been housed. The bulk of the
cotton crop, especially the short staple
crop, has been picked There are
small areas over widely separated dis
tricts where the work is yet to be
finished, but little remains to be gath
cred. Most of the long staple crop
was ruined by rains and weevil. The
fairly we'll distributed showers of the
week were favorable for the advance
ment of trucking. Seed beds have been
prepared and the planting of celery,
peppers, egg plants, and other truck
was well advanced, except portions of
the west central peninsula, where
much of the low lands is still too wet.
The citrus crop is good, and it is ma
turing nicely.
