a large journal for. the house and
large calendars for both houses; be-
sides about a dbzen bills to be printed.
They were all delivered in due time
and good shape. But the result upon
the men showed up the next night,
when the work was also heavy. The
galley boy was the worst sufferer. He
is husky lad, but the long hours got
the best of him. Along about the middle
Of the night he took a first galley
proof, hung it on the revise hook and
marched into the room of the proof
reader and complacently deposited the
galley of type on the proof readers
desk. Somnanbulistic walking is an
old stunt, but that kind, Of work Is
new.
Mr.. Ladd, of Monroe county, few
days ago introduced in the house a
bill to permit suit to be brought
against the live stock sanitary board
for negligence resulting in the death
Of 20. cows from dipping. This makes
two bills of this kind. Mr.. Scharf-
schwerdt, of Okeechobee bounty, is
the introducer Of the other. and it is
for 600 head killed by dipping.
In debate on the floor of the house
Monday, Mr.. Carmichael said Palm
Beach county had never asked
the state for any assistance in their
development projects, except that it
was to be paid by that section itself.
Perhaps the gentleman has forgotten
the committee OF 1000 appointed once
upon time to come to the capital in
behalf of a certain plan. Of admins
tration involving the credit OF the
whole state.
Mr.. Scales, Of Taylo- county, has a
bill before the house, which. judging.
by the reading OF the title, may, be Of
some real service to the agricultural
classes Of the state. 1t provides for
the inspection Of seeds and regulates.
the sale thereof in the state. The loss
to the farmers each year because of.
the worthless seeds palned off on
them by irresponsible dealers would
foot up a fabulous sum If it could be
gotten together.
Monday the house OF representatives
worked hard all day, passed two bills
by good majorities, and when the
clerk made up his calendar that night
both bills were still on it. And it was
through no mistake Of the clerk either.
A motion to reconsider had been
lodged against both of them, which
kept still before the house the whole
subject matter of the merits of both
bills-or, leaving them in almost the
same shape they were in when the ses-
sion opened in the morning. Making
haste slowly might we'll be applied to
practices OF this kind. Yet the rules
Of legislation have for all time per-
nnitted the practice. and the wisdom
of the centuries has not seen fit to
change it.
The Harris road bin was not intro
d,1ced Monday, as it was intended to
do. It was held out by request. but the
gentleman from Pinellas county says
the bill is gathering energy while in
this state of incubation, and when it
goes on the calendar of the house.
It viii be a live member. I.
on Monday the house was charged
hy some of the members mot on the
floor) with, fillibustering against the
tick eradication measure, which was
expected to come up for disposition
among the first things this week. 1t
was not stated which side was respon-
sfb1e. but that is not hard to guess,
Il such was the purpose of the long
winded debate.
Charles n. Taylor is a proud and
happy man. It was telegram from
lakeland. signed n. w. Nelson. that
caused him to feel SO good, and 1t
stated that there was a new grandchild
in the Nelson family.
Senator Igou has put in local
bill to validate the election just held
in the commissioners districts on the
east side OF Lake county to- bond for
5 road from Aston, on tho st. Johns
river, to Clarmont. This will shorten
the distance from Jacksonville to
Tampa nearly SO miles. and since 1t
will take most OF the traffic batuaan
