GEORGIA CANE.
The Constitution has
taken pleasure in calling
duel rfO^STJSTpSSl of the
of the southern part
that in the past few years
come to occupy an
place among the most
enterprises of recent
—the Georgia cane. H. Taft,
Governor \\ llliam
his way to Panama, stopped
a short while in New Orleans,
one of the sights that most
pressed him in that section
the great sugar cane
of Louisiana and the
yiachinery used in handling
111 that state. Taft was not
familiar with cane fields after
experiences in Cuba and
Philippines, but he was
surprised at the advantage
the planters by up-to-date
chinery. over the primitive
ods used in other cane
countries.
Dr. Wiley, of the United
department of agriculture,
was invited to Georgia a year
two ago at the instance of
D. G. Purse, of Savannah,
a careful investigation of the
uation, proclaimed in his
report that the Georgia cane
superior to the Louisiana
and contained more
matter. Numerous
can be shown where
and progressive farmers have
recent crops secured larger
from cane fields than from
acres planted in cotton. So
enterprise of Louisianacane
ers furnishes an example that
farmers of Georgia will not
slow to imitate with advantage.
Experiments have proven
the sirup obtained by the
kettle” process is superior in
and quality to the
liquor, and many orders now
ing placed for Georgia cane
specify the open kettle
Still, there is a chance for the
ployment of profitable
ing devices fer grinding the of
and bottling the product
kettles.
The Constitution hopes to
the further development of
profitable industry.

Reflections of a Bachelor.
From the New York Press,
The train that your relatives
take to visit you are always on
time.
Women would subtract even
more years from their age than
they do except that it would make
them infant.
It disgusts a bald-headed man
beyond expression to see the way
some people part their hair down
the middle.
When a woman’s husband has
made money in the stock market
she keeps it as secret as if she
were a brass band.
It makes a girl awful nervous
when she thinks a man is propos
ing to her, to find he is telling
her of his engagement to an
other.
