CONVENTION NOTES.
Hon. DuPont. Guerry, who was
handling the rclder campaign on
the floor of the house, didn’t distin
guish himself with glory. A break
at th»* right time from Slaton would
have pleased many of the delegates
and would probably have resulted
In t'.in Bibb countaln’s elec*lon.
It was indeed and in truth a com
bination against Slatou. The Gov
ernor never had the ghost of a chance
and his friends, who were aware
of the political activity of the other
clans and the manner in which tne
combination was effected, discuss

to suen a bight and breadth that it

Mr. Louis Steyerman has one that

and mere are many others.
Some years ago, a i.ii'ee acreage
in these trees was planted in Put
nam county, Florida, in order that
the Government might exnerlmen*

so break the monopoly held by the
Jr.paneFO on that article, [t is per
haps not generally known that all
the camphor used in tills country
has heretofore been brought from
Japan, and that country has been
selling i! at a very hi h rate.
The following article, in regard
to the result obtained from the
camphor industry in Florida, may
be interesting to many:
“Referring to a recent article In
reference to the camphor tree,
which the statement was made that
it will be necessary to raise cam
phor in this country to break the
Japanese monopoly if the govern

Press, writing from Florida, tells of
the growth of thousands of trees In
Putnam count)', Florida, the devel
opment of which cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and where last
winter Prof. Rlchtmann produced
er 10,000 pounds of camphor.
“The Japanese seem to have
knowledge of the existence of this
camphor plantation as It has been
visited nt different times by inquisi
tive gentlemen from the Flowery
Kingdom. The company operating
this plant Is represented by Prof.
W. O. Richtmana, formerly of the
United States Department of Agri
culture, and under his direction last
winter 500 acres ofcnew trees were
set out. and his nursery contains
hundreds of thousands of young
trees, which means continued ex
