The cane syrup Industry I* already
well established in Georgia. Its
product increase* every year and the
demand for it grow* even more rap
idly- It •* recognised wherever it
goes as tne best cane syrup on the
market. Recently a considerable
q autity of it wo* exported and there
is a good prospect of building up a
good foreign trade in this article.
The production of sugar is also
increasing rapidly in Georgia.
It has been demonstrated not only
that sugar can he made profitably in
a large part of Georgia, but that
Georgia sugar is of the highest qual
ity.
The Macon Telegraph, which lakes
a lively interest in the material de
velopment of the state and has done
much to encourage it, has a high es
timate of the possibilities of sugar
m iking hi this state. It says:
“Tlie coming sugar territory lies
to the south of Macon ftom about
this latitude and to the gulf and to
the south Atlantic coast. It will be
found when the experiments are
made—and made they will be in the
near future—that the southern part
of this state and Middle Florida is
to become a great sugar producing
section. It is already known that
the lowlands in this area named will
produce 4 per cent, of sucrose more
limn the Louisiana product. It is
also known that fresh pine lands
without manure will yield from 15
to 20 tons of cane per acre.
“These facts are enought to guar
antee tie success of sugar mills in
South Georgia pitched on a large
scale. They will pay handsome div
idends on the money invested, and
they will develop a sure and paying
money for the farmers, for there is
no surer crop that grows than the
cane crop. Millions of tons of sugar
can be produced m South Georgia
between the Savannah and Chatta
hoochee rivers.”
We expect to see at the Georgia
State Fair, which is to be held at
S;iyaunnh next tall, a superb display
of Georgia sugar as well as Georgia
cuno syrup. Such a display can be
made also, and certainly should be
made at the great Buffalo exposition,
where Georgia is to be represented.

Luke Pryor, w ho fiddled himself
Into the United State* Senate, died
a little while ago at his home in
Athens, Ala. He was a lawyer, and,
tiesides being a senator, bad been a
representative in congress from the
Eighth Alabama district, l’ryor
used to like to tell bow, through bis
knowledge of the fiddle, he became
started on hi* career of prosperity
and politic*.
Sixty-five years ago, ’way down m
tlie greenbriar bottoms ot Limestone
county, there nestled a primitive vil
lage named Mooresville, m liquor of
the pioneer who first settled on the
slope above the Tennessee backwa
ter. This section was uoted iu those
days for rich soil, breakbone fever,
greenbriars and coon*. In the vil
lage dwelt, in a two-story home,
Capt. Gamble, the richest man in ti.e
village, the head of the Mooresville
aristocracy.
There also dwell in the same vil-
1 ge a poor widow who was left to
rear a family ot children; good stock,
but run down to poverty through
misfortune. Among the children was
a red-beaded, freckle-faced, fourteen-
year-old boy named Luke. He was a
hustler, industrious, and ambitions,
and when night came and he had
stabled his steers, he sawed on an
old family fiddle until he attained
eonsiderable skill, and was the pride
of his sisters. But his mother did
not admire Luke’s talent or taste.
The family liyed in the regulation
log cabin with stick chimney. Their
pride of family position lost made
them keenly sensible to their pov
erty, One November afternoon, as
thu good widow Pryor was sitting
by her fireside, the only carriage in
the village, owned by the society
leader, the rich Mrs. Gamble, drove
Up to the bars in front ol tiie house.
Widow Pryor was called o t, with
her hands wrapped in her white cot
ton apron. Mrs, Gamble said: “Mrs.
Prvqr, I have .coqie to invite your
son Luke, to my dance on Thursday
night, so fix Inm up and let him
ooiue.” The delighted mother, sen
sitive to the compliment paid to her
red-headed boy, assured the rich
lady that Luke would be sure to be
there. ,
When Luke came in he was told
of the good fortune; that he was to
go to the big house. His bright eyes
glistened; Luke was happy, and so
was his honest mother. The next
day site spent her savings to buy
Luki’ a pair of trousers, and all the
house - was aglow in fixing Luke for
the feast. In the afternoon Luke
went up to the store, where he met
Capt, Gamble, tlie proprietor of the
house.
Tlie captain said: “Luke, Mrs.
Gamble invited you to tlie party, I
belieye ?”
“Yes,” replied Luke; I “thank her;
I will be sure to ooiue.”
“Yes,” replied Capt. Gamble, “I
don’t doubt you will come, but lie
sure to bring your fiddle; can’t dance
without a .fiddle.” The heart of
.poor little Luke dropped within him.
He ('caught on” and replied: “Cap
tain, it was. my fiddle you wanted,
not me, I suppose.” Tlie night of
the dance L ke played the fiddle,
and when the dapee was over Mis.
Gamble not only fed him sumptu
ously, hut sent a great basketful by
him for his family.
In years after .Pryor often said:
“She wanted my fiddle, not me; hist
tlie use of my fiddle by my
friends has fed me and my family,
and we haye grown rich upon it.”—
