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 I thing for tin northern democrats | j tu . »•» 1 h( convwftmn.

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.

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 Constitution Unnccccssary Loss of Time.

ITS SUCCESS IN THE PAST The Kaniijin llopecoii I’linitutlon In I Qlyiin Ooinily—SlU'ei'-s-fill Results 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. Wtntt Muir Hi *oiic Mail Caw l)o 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 ^ iu employment to thou of the -Empire state of the j South.” Exhortation should follow ex bortatiou and line upon line aud pre ^tJTiSSi^been | n p 0n au enduring basis. We do not ad vise the planting of large areas iu oas- I eava until proper tests have been made.
