Sugar Can®.
Though some of the farmers are
nearly through planting their cane,
some are waiting for dryer weather.
The importance of this- crop cannot
be overestimated. There is an ever
increasing demand for the best Georgia
cane sirup.' Overproduction of either
sugar or sirup need not be feared,
The consumption of sugar in the Unit
ed States exceeds the home supply.
Raising sugar cane costs less than
raising cotton, and to the' planters of
many parts of southern Georgia there
Is more money in it "When this crop
receives the attention due it, sugar re
fineries will increase Jn number. As
we have said before, there is no rea-
eon why the sugar and sirup business
of Georgia should! not at least approxi
mate that of Louisiana;
The sugar refineries at Baxley, in
Appling county, and Dupont, in Clinch,
are doing good work for their respec
tive sections. At Cairo, in Thomas
county, is a large sugar plant of the
best modern construction, where the
juices .of the cane are being chemical
ly treated in the most scientific man
ner. Within a radius of IB miles from
this town there are 2,000 acres plant
ed in sugar cane. The shipments of
sirup from Cairo amounted last year to
10,000 barrels. At Quitman, in Brooks
county, one firm sells on an average
5,600 barrels of sirup a year. The
sirup is pronounced by Professor Har
vey W. Wiley, chief of the United
States bureau* of chemistry, to be of a
high £rade, and the market for it ex
tends from Massachusetts to Texas.
As a result of Professor Wiley’s visit
to Georgia an appropriation of. $11,-
000 has been recommended by the con-

It is the understanding among
Democrats of New York that it is
practically settled that he will lead
the fusionists of’his state next fall
in the campaign for Governor. But,'
if he should be elected, would he as
pire to the Democratic nomination
for President? There is no reason
for thinking that he harbors a hope
of being a presidential candidate a
third time in succession.
There will be a great deal of spec
ulation as to his purpose in accept
ing a gubernatorial nomination. His
enemies will po doubt say that he is
taking that course to Becure the
presidential nomination again. But
they will hardly believe what they
say. Mr. Bryan knows that he
would not be a strong presidential
candidate unless the political situa
tion in 1904 should be very different
from what it is now.
But Mr. Bryan may be aiming to
be the power behind the throne.
He may be seeking a position from
which he can practically dictate the
ticket and the platform. If ho were
to be elected Governor of Nebraska
by a very large majority he would
be a prominent and influential le&d^ 1
er of the Democratic party in 1904.
He would have a following that it
would not be wise to ignore. ■ •
But he will not be a candidate
for nomination, He has virtually
said as much. He understands bet

will not look to him to lead it in the
next national contest. It iB certain,

On the day that Prince Henry
sailed away homeward bound lie
told Chief Wilkie of the pecret
service that he hoped p to come
back again incognito, “and look
at the things he did not see this
time.” He will have much to
see, and a groat deal that will in
terest him. The view of Ameri
can life that he got during his
three week’s visit was pretty; near
ly all artificial, fixed up for the
occasion, and not at all represen
tative of that American life that
goes, to make up the strength of
the nation.
That picturesque Statesman, J.
Hamilton Lewis, who came to Con

his extremely fashionable appear

the side of the Republicans when he
got the opportunity, notwithstand
ing the efforts of. Reed to suppress
him, is back here looking over his
old colleagues, says the Washington
correspondence of the Philadelphia
North American. He is better dress
ed and more suave than ever, but
he shakes his head when any one
suggests that he ought to come
back to Uongress.
“It costs me,” he said, “$5,000
every time I got the nomination in
my district. It then cost me $16,
000 more to be elected, and I had
to come to Washington and live on
my wife’s money.
“When I tried to help out my in

more from me than I could possibly
make in fees. In addition to that
people refused to pay me for my
services. There may be some men

Government engineers have
found that the amount of solid
matter carried in, suspeusiou by
the Mississippi river past Vicks
burg, is sufficient to make a square
mile blockhouse of earth 300 feet
high. This would make a solid
river of earth five feet deep and
nine feet wide flowing as fast as a,

It costs from $800 to $500 per acre
