CROP PEST BILL WAS FIRST MEASURE 10 BECOME A LAW (By Claude F. Johnson.) Tallahassee, May o.—The crop pest bill was the first piece of gener- al legislation to be signed by the governor and become a law. New bills are being certified to the gov- ernor from every session, and while most of those have been local bills the state-wide laws have reached the stage of enactment that tells their fate. So far the governor has not vetoed any measure sent to him, and has not indicated his displeasure with any particular bill pending. The number of bills passed on each' day in both houses is increasing rap- idly, most of the time during the past month having been devoted to' committee considerations. With all the committee elimin work there are many against the reached on the calendar. ion various bills as they are Baracca-Philatheas Surprise Pastor The Baptist pastor, Rev Wear, was very pleasantly sorprised when entering his study upon his return from the prayer service last evening to find the room overilow- ing with young people to the num- ber of at least sixty. hen the pas- tor had recovered his equilibrium. the guests were invited into the par- lor and out upon the piazza wherg they passed the remainder of the ev- ening conversing and playing amus- inz games, until refreshments con- sisting of wafers, fruits, candies and nuts were served.

Johnson.) | Tallah. May 6.-—Although membe House assert they were the prohibition forces that when the amendment for state-wide prohibition was passed in the House, there would be no fur- ther legislation asked for in this session, nearly every session brings forth some new temperance law. It appears that the temperance people feel so confident of success with ev- . ery bill, now that the Davis bill has become a law, they will pursue their legislative program until the State will he practically dry without a state-wide vote by the people. It has been suzgested that the governbr' wizht put off the date of going into cffect mentioned in the Davis bill as Sept. 30 to May 1, 1916, in order ' that those now engaged in the sa-‘ loon Dpusiness might reconstruct ' their system of business. This, how- ever, will be opposed, and it is not believed the governor would consid- er postponing the date for the law to go into effect.
