In this country, the banana is still
rated as a delicacy and to principally-
used by travelers to stave off starva-
tion on way trains, and by small boys
to combine pleasure and excitement.
With five cents' worth of bananas a
small boy can * eat himself into a
warped and distended state and can
also carpet a large section of side-
walk with the discarded skins. Step-
ping on a banana skin is one of the
most disconcerting things that can
happen in this country. Nothing can
floor a man so quickly except possibly
a letter which he once wrote to a
trusted friend before he thought of
running for office.
Americans now own mi ll inns of
acres of banana pantations in Central
America and large fleets of steamers
are employed to bring the crop to this
country. The banana can also be dried
and ground-into flour. Some day all

formed inte benana plantations and

bread for neventy years nnd than dim

enjoy bananas without emigre ting to
this country and selling them for a
living.

Tbs anti-prohiMitiontst tenders have
selected four senatorial districts in
which to make brush-heap and gum-

hope to elect Harrie over Taylr, in the
Temple district: King over Collins. In
the Beaumont district; Dorough over
Henderson, is the Texarkana istrict,
and Wood over McN—lus, in the Dal-
las district. W the anti-prohibitionists
could capture three out of four nf
these districts, the present prohibi-

A statement has been received by
Governor Colquitt from B. J. Bees, a
member of the State Prison Commis-
sion, showing a reduction of approxi-
mately $90,000 in the expenses of the
State farms for the first five months
of 1414. Mr. Ba— adds that the com-
mission feels sure that It will be able
to continue the reduction in expenses
in a greater proportion during the re-
maining seven months of tide year.
Commissioner Bass states that he
has been on the farms almost con-
tinuously for the pant thirty days,
making an investigation of crop con-
ditions.
“It has been an uphill fight, as you
know, to make a crop in the bottoms
this year,” reports Commissioner Bass,
‘but I am glad to report that we have
15,000 acres of cotton left that is
clean and growing nicely. If the
weather conditions are favorable for
the next forty days we have yet a
chance to make 7500 bales of cotton.
"Our corn crop, on the whole, was
poor, but we have a large acreage and
I feel sure we will make enough to
maintain the system for another year.
Our cane crop is reduced this year
about 40 per cent The cane on Har-
lem, Imperial and Clemens farms' ;s
below the average for thin time of
year. On the Ramsey. House and
Trammell farms it is above the av-
erage.”
A reduction in expenses has oc-
curred on aU farms except the House
and Trammell sarms. The increase
on the House farm was $1040 per
month and on the Trammell farm 1530
per mnth. The reduction per month
on each of the other farms was as fol-
lows: Harlem, <1780; Imperial, 14070;
Clemens, 12487; Ramsey, 12583;
Wynne, $1,268; Goree, $934; Bassett
Blakely, $429; Shaw, 1445.
