Miss Hurridan thinks it an | outrage that Miss Emerson should not be allowed to heroically starve to death in jail and be haloed with the glory of suffragette martyrdom for- evermore; but we suspect that she would unheroically yell for soup be- fore reaching the last stages of star- vation, and there are plenty of men in this country who would cheerfully permit her to go that far just to test the merits of the system. — —0 The fee system as a method of com- f pensation for county officials has | been under fire since the “fall of '49 i or the spring of '50,” as the old Cal- ' ifornians say, and it still holds the It(‘rt, not apparently because of any !inherent strength in it, but because of no concentrated and sustained ef- fort to overthrow it. , der the scattering fire of newspaper It is now un-: or most of the counties in the State small-arms usual before every sessicn an insistent voice went up from the of the Legislature and is apparently women themselves demanding it.

THE BANANA. The story of the banana reads like 4 romance almost. It can be so easily grown in Florida that it seems odd that more do not engage in its cul- ture. In the tropics it is extensively used, both raw and in a cooked form. It can be made into flour, and some Inventor has a fortune who will per- fect machinery for this purpose. A ccllection of banana plants looks more like a corn field than anythins | EPPES TUCKER; JR., Attoraey. add to the attractiveness of Florida home gardens and yard, but yield fruit worth while for table use.
