TIME TO .NOMINAL
A 80URTRERN MAN
Senator Clay.
Senior Clay was in the city this
morning, a little sun-burned by
his recent trip in South Georgia.
He left for Washington on the
am, m the interest of the Savan
• # h i*
The senator thinks it is time to
put a sourt hern nmn on the na
tional democratic ticket, and in
the course of conversation with a
representat ive of The Daily News,
he said:
i A The war has been for
over
thirty-five years. There is less
sectional feeling in the country
now than at any time since the
civil war. While wo do not indorse
the political views of President
McKinley, .ve must confess that
he has been libo.Tal toward, the
people of the south, and shown a
disposition to bury all seotsonal
differences. The Spainsh-Anieriean
war has contributed very material
ly to building up a national spirit
and feeling, which should boa
of pride to all sections.
“It has been my observation in
congress that the better class of
norrhern people cherish no sec
lional animosity toward the people
of the south.
“The south has made rapid
development in industrial lines,
and has fully done its part in
building up the resources of the
country.
< i 1 felt, in the last national
democratic convention, that the
vice president should have been
nominated from the south. 1 be
lieve that the editorial of The
Daily News on this subject was
timely and 1 indorse it. 1 would
be glad to see the next vice presi
dent nominated from the south.
In fact, it would not surprise me
to see the north contribute to
bring about such a result.
“Such a nomination would
show a broad national feeling, and
would practically blot out all sec
tional differences, and hereafter
our political differences would be
on living issues, free from section
al antagonisms — a result certain-
' to he d d by nil our people.
“I tliidk i lilt graceful

TWO GREAT SI HOPES TO IIK
LIVEN GEORGIA.
.John C. Martin, a wealthy New
York philanthropist, will, in the
near future, endow and establish
tw<i new inaminI (raining schools
in Georgia
The movement is in a formative
state at present. One of these
schools will located in the nioun
tain region of the state, and will be
con( | ll( ,,.„ ( l for the benefit of wl.iti !
, boys who . are not able , , to , take , , ad
vantage of other institutions. The
tuition will be free.
The other school will be estab
lished in South Georgia, for train
ing of negro hoys in that part of{
tile state, Both schools will he
handsomely endowed.
An advisory committee has been
selected by Mr. Martin to perfect
the arrangements for the establish
ment of the schools, consisting of
Rev. Dr. McArthur, pastor of Cal
vary Baptist Church, of Now York
Rev. I)r. Geo. C. Lorimer, of
Boston; Booker T. Washington,
Rev. Dr. A. T- Spalding of Atlanta
and several others.
Dr. Spalding, when seen by
Daily Nows reporter this morning
was delighted with t he prospect of
these new schools, and expressed
himself as taking Mr. Martin’s
liberality as a further evidence of
the increasing friendliness between
the north and the south.
Mr. Martin is largely interested
in coal mines and other properties
in Pennsylvania. He is known to
have been greatly interested in
educational work for several years
and t he endowment of these two
schools is his latest step in this
direction.
The advisory committee will
probably have a conference at an
early date regarding the location
of the two schools.—Daily News.
The above is printed in this is
sue of the progkicss, iii the hope
that it may contribute something
toward .stimulating an ell’ort on
the part, of our people, to secrue
for Jasper the location of the
school for the training of white
boys. It may he the opportunity
of this generation and it should
certainly not be allowed to .pass
away ns so many others have,
withouCsueh unt ire and organized
etVort ns we can make to get the
school located here or in this
immediate part of North Georgia.
We have the best climate, the
best water, and the'purest air to
be found in the State, and all our
local conditions are such as to
make us secure against, diseases.
We are six-teen hundred feet
above the sea, naturally drained,
and have the finest mountain
scenery of the State. Such a school
as they proposed means much
us, and it would also mean much
for the school. Lot us try to get it.

There I* Room for All.
The colleges of the land a
now turning out hundreds of
young men, ninny of whom will
10011 >0 heard from, declaring
that there is lu room for them in
the world of business. The first
(Iit-tj,! of boyish *ntliusiasin must
give way to the* feeling that thw
man who would succeed must fight
j,j g Wtt y t Drouth unexpected nd
versities.
It is to this class of mm. {bat
K , pr**sidentof one of the leading
hanks of Chicago addressed him
self a few days ago upon filling
an appointment to appear before
a giaduating class. Do not
gine,” said lie 11 that the good
positions all filled, the fort- :
are
unes all made, the success . all
achieved.” The speaker knew that
the young men before him were
filled with high hopes* and that
there were among them those who
failing to lie measured up at their
own valuation at first, would be
over-whelmed by disappointment,
and might give up the race at
once. To them lie felt that the
host possible lesson was the state
ment that success has to be won in
the same old way, and that only
the man bringing into play •The
strongest qualities of perseverance
could hope to succeed.
A college education does not
bring instant success, nor, indeed,
does it bring success at all. It
better fils the effort that is before
him. Ilis father, poorly equipped
and handicapped by the want ot
an education, achieved a certain
succes, of which the son should
be duly proud. The young man
starts in life better equipped, and
with the rough places smoothed
clown, but still lie has to tread
the rAv.l his fatftrtr t fcU-d, ,–
courage, perseverance and integri
ty.
Thus armed for the battle of
life, the young man should not
mis understand the situation. The
road to success is as "broad to him
as it, was to his father, and the
need for leaders is felt by each
succeeding generation. In time
the leaders of today will drop by
the wayside, and their places must
be taken n p by those who have
qualified for the work. It, is in
this preparation that the young
man must make himself felt. For
years lie may have to occupy a
back place, where lie seems to got
no credit for what he is doing.
But if he is wise, ho' will find that
his patience has been a good in
vestment and that when fortune
smiles'upon him he will be quali
fied to fulfill whatever duties may
be imposed upon him.
The best lesson that the young
man can propose to himself is that
there is as much room for him as
there was for those who preceded
him, and as a consequence a de
termination to keep himself ready
for whatever happens.—Atlanta

ITS SUCCESS IN THE PAST
The Kaniijin llopecoii I’linitutlon In

Achieved I here Year-. Ago.
The Department of Agriculture has
' made constant and earnest efforts to
! bring about a revival of the sugar cane
Pastry in Georgia. Tin- revival has
come and promises great n-.-ulti. This
industry has m V'r ctiurd reused, and
f or the last few years La* grown much
ui importauce.
; Although Louisiana obtained her lir.-t
I sugar cane from Georg: ihtii valuable
crop jj us j U ri.*is >tac« h en »o over
shadowed by Cotton aud rice a s not to
receive the attention which it-s merits
deserve. Yet iu the lower counties
there is more mouey in sugar cane than
in cotton, and in this section the mak
ing of syrup from sugar cane has doubled
in the last two or three years.
As far back as 1829 there was built on
the plantation of James Hamilton (Jou
per a large sugar house, which at the
time of its erection was in advance of
any similar plant in Louisiana or the
West Indies. This Hopeton plantation,
under the management of Mr. Counor, a
gentleman of wealth aud of the highest
culture, was declared by Editor J. D.
Legare of The Southern Agriculturist of
Charlestou, S. 0., to be decidedly the
best plantation that he had ever visited.
Here the raising of cane and the manu
facture therefrom of syrup and sugar
gave the most satisfactory results.
Sir Charles Lyell, the distinguished
English geologist and scholar, who vis
ited Hopeto- iu 1846, bore testimony to
the successful management of the plan
tation in every detail.
The cotton and rice industries after
the war so absorbed the interests of the
people of southern Georgia, that the
cultivation of sugar cane was neglected,
and the magnificent sugar mill, once so
successfully operated by Mr. Couper,
was allowed to fall into ruins, and a
few years ago the machinery was sold
for scrap iron.
This noted plantation is in Glynn
county, 5 miles by water from Darien,
16 by land from Brunswick aud lomiles
from the Atlantic ocean.

Again.
A full account of the Hopeton planta
tion aud its great-sugar plant is given
in a new book on Sugar Cane, published
by Captain D. G. Purse of Savannah,
Ga. ■ This useful little work has at
tracted the attention of “The Louisiana
Planter aud Sugar Manufacturer,” a
weekly paper of N'ew Orleans, La., and
the leading sugar journal of the world,
which in a recent issue republishes Cap
tain Parse’s “Recollections of Hopeton
Plantation,” with the accompanying il
lustration of Mr. Couper’s sugar mill,
and utters these encouraging words:
“It may be that Georgia will again
engage in cane sugar production, and
the experiences of its own past, as re
corded at Hopeton plantation, indicate
the certainty of industrial success,
should the experiment be again made.”
To-these happy predictions of an ed
itor living in the great city of New Or
leans, the commercial center of a vast
sugar industry, may be added the still
more encouraging fact that a section of
southwest Georgia has for several years
past been furnishing undoubted proof
that Georgia has iu her power the abil
ity to add a new crop, which will pour
untold wealth into her treasury and
into the pockets of her people. Captain
Purse has recently interested United
States Agricultural Commissioner Wil
son and Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chem
ist of the United States department, in
the sugar cane of Georgia and Florida,
and in furtherance of this end he is
gathering samples of soils to be analyz
ed for their sugar producing qualities,
and as the cane matures in the fall
many hundred samples will be sent him
for analysis. Vastly more c^n be done
in this great state than man has yet ac
complished or formed a conception of.
Cassava.
Our excuse for speaking again of su
gar cane and cassava is that the only
way to arouse people to action on any
line is to continue appealing to them
and keeping them ever reminded of
those things which pertain to their pros
perity. The late convention at Bruns
wick has aroused a spirit of inquiry,
manifested by letters received by the
Department of Agriculture concerning
both sugar cane aud cassava.
When the farmers of southern Geor
gia go extensively into the cultivation of
these two important crops, sugar mills
and starch factories will join the cotton

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRAII by the use of powders,
acid, gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
