THE WAYCROSS HERALD SATURDAY, AUG. 24, 1895.
SHORT EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS
The sentiment wasted on Mrs.
Nobles is nauseating. A fund is now
being raised to procure her the ser
vice of the best talent in the state.
The condoning of crime is the incent
ive to crime.—Savannah Press.
The line from Nichols to Hazel-
hurst, connecting the Waycross Air
Line and the Southern railway, is
being surveyed, and work will begin
on the new road as soon as the survey
is completed. The Waycross Air
Line is evidently preparing to ship
freight over the Southern railway.—
Savannah Press.
Chance For an Inventor.
Eternal fame and unlimited fortune
await tho genius who can tell the Lou
isiana planters how to get rid of their
surplus molasses. After the annual mak
ing of their cane sugar there is always
left over not less than 25,000,000 gal
lons of molasses which they aro at their
wits’ end to dispose of. Some of them
run .the stuff into tho rivers adjacent,
but there it sets up a fermentation, kills
the fish and makes a smell that is any
thing but sweet. Somebody proposed
making it into rum, but how could we
get away with 30,000,000 gallons of rum
every year without keeping ourselves
everlastingly drunk: And, in any case,
would it pay to get drunk just to 6ave
molasses?
Some of tho planters aro so bothered
with this surplus sweet stuff that they
dig ponds and ditches near their sugar
houses and turn it into them, “to be
kept till called for. ” But it never is
called for. A little of it can be used as
fuel, to run engines, but it is so sticky
and gummy that this is troublesome. A
brickmakcr has mixed it with clay and
ashes and made an indestructible fire
brick, ho says. Tho composition used as
a lining for furnaces outlasts asbestos,
he claims. But this can oujy take up a
limited lot of tho vast ocean of mo
lasses.
For one thing, more of it ought to be
used as a food by tho people throughout
tho country. They would use it, too,
ten times as much of it as they do, if
they could get it cheap and clean at ev
ery corner grocery. It is likely, how
ever, that tho true way out lies in find
ing somo way to make it into tho best
quality of refined sugar. No doubt that
can bo done.
Literary Prizes.
Tho manuscript novels entered in
competition for tho New York Herald’s
prizes aro all in. The lucky stories
which will win the $10,000, $2,000 and
$1,000 prizes respectively have, how
ever, yot to be decided on. Tho fortu
nate competitor will bound into fame
and money at one leap provided ho or
sho is somebody now to tho public.
That, however, is hardly probable.
Tho Herald calls attention to tho
fact that a nnmbor of its prize offers are
still outstanding. Until Sept. 1 the field
is open for contestants in certain other
lines of literature. A prize of $3,000
goes to tho author of the best novelette
in length from 15,000 to 25,000 words.
For the best story of from 6,000 to 10,-
000 words a prize of $2,000 will be
given.
Evidently Mr. James Gordon Bennett
does not think so very much of poetry,
or perhaps it is only American poetry he
is inclined to value lightly, for he will
award to tho author of the best Ameri
can epic poem “as long as ‘Evangeline’
or ‘Enoch Arden’ ’’$1,000. The poem
must bo based on some fact in Ameri
can history of a date since tho Revolu
tion.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
Mr. Bennett's attempt to develop Ameri
can literary talent. But can any Amer
ican write an epic poem?
Curious Canadian History.
At the time of the American Revolu
tion the population of Canada was still
largely French. The people, “lxabitans,’’
as they were called, desired to unite
with the 13 colonies, fight with then?
and become one country with them.
Had they been permitted to do so Cana
da would now have been divided into a
number of prosperous states’cf this Un
ion.
It was chiefly owing to the Roman
Catholic clergy, so it is claimed, that
the Canadian French kept out of the
Union. The clergy had a horror of radi
calism and revolutions. They sincerely
believed that monarchy was a divinely
ordained form of government and that
no other could $tand. They were loyal
to the British government and kept the
habitans from coming over to us. In re
turn for this the British crown gave the
Roman Catholic clergy many privileges
in Canada. There is at present, it is
said, $50,000,000 worth of Catholic
church property in Canada. It is not
taxed.
Now times have changed very much.
A full third of the French population
has migrated to the United States. A?
the same time British and Protestant
people have been pouring into the Do
minion. The country whose inhabitants
were nearly all of French descent a
century ago now has only 30 per cent
of its population of that race. The rest
is British and nearly all Protestant.
These rebel with all their souls against
The Republic of Jones.
“There was a government in exist
ence within the limits of my state dur
ing the late war that I find no mention
of in the histories,” said Mr. F. M.
Holden of Mississippi at the National
“In tho early days of secession the
county of Jones through its leading citi
zens withdrew from the Confederacy,
declared themselves a free and inde
pendent people, organized a govern
ment, adopted a constitution modeled
after that of tho United States, called
this new government ‘the republic of
Jones, ’ elected a president and a full
qnota of officials and refused to furnish
men or money to the southern cause.
“On the approach of Confederate
troops they would retreat to the swamps
and other inaccessible places and remain
in hiding until the danger had passed.
They kept up this queer attitude of hos
tility to their own brethren, so far as I
am informed, to the close of the war,
but the republic of Jones passed out cf
the memory of men with the event of
Appomattox, and the mention of it now
in that locality is only a cause for
•miles.”—Washington Post
The new woman, who has been hav
ing things very much her own way in
“bikes, ” bloomers and equestrian meth
ods lately, has encountered a stumbling
block of more than ordinary dimensions
in the opposition of that powerful body,
the Methodist church, to her admission
as a delegate at its conferences. While
western sentiment strongly favors the
proposition to render women eligible as
lay delegates, eastern sentiment as
strongly disapproves it.—New York
Journal
the large grants and privileges the Eng
lish government gave to the Roman
Catholic clergy long ago for its services
in keeping Canada for the crown. They
rebel against the division of tho school
fund, and they will uot have French as
the official language. They wish the
French habitans had gone over to the
American Union at the time of our
Revolution, and the French habitans
wish so too.
It is an ingenious idea, that which
Captain Judson N. Cross, a lawyer of
Minneapolis, lias evolved from his brain.
It is that Hawaii send delegates to the
American congress in December, asking
admission for them on tho same basis as
that on which delegates from the other
territories have obtained seats. Captain
Cross believes that both historical prece
dent and common sense will favor the ad
mission of such delegates. Hawaii has
demonstrated her power to maintain a
republican form of government in and of
herself, and that is the main condition
required for the recognition of a United
States territory.

Exploring South Polar Regions.
More than half a century ago Sir
James Ross, sailing antarctic seas,
found and named Victoria land. Com
mander Wilkes, United States navy,
discovered it before, but did not name
it. The south polar region was believed
to be much colder than the north polar
one. That has been the impression ever
since. Comparatively few attempts have
been made to approach the south pole.
But a speaker at the late internation
al geographical congress in London re
ports a warmer climate in the south polar
region. He is Captain Borchgrevinck, a
Norwegian. On his recent expedition to
the antarctic seas he found the majestic
south polar continent to be twice as
large as Europe. He named a promon
tory on this continent Cape Oscar, after
his king. Ho sighted Cape Oscar in 74
degrees south latitude. Eighty-three de
grees has been the highest latitude yet
reached at the north pole.
After discovering Cape Oscar, Borch
grevinck sailed northward a short dis
tance to Cape Adair, a point on tho new
continent, and made some explorations.
While he was within the antarctic cir
cle the temperature sometimes rose as
high as 46 degrees, and the lowest was
25 degrees. The explorer found traces
of vegetation, myriads of waterfowl-
and ores, indicating tftaVyaluable min
erals might bo found, Certainly there
will be no difficulty in exploring a re
gion where the thermometer rises as
high at times as 46 degrees. Facts point
to the conclusion that for some reason
the south polar region is warmer than
it was when Ross made his explorations.
American civilization is very far be
hind that of Europe in some respects.
At no German seaside resort is sewage
allowed to be emptied into the ocean. A
government chemist makes analysis of
the water every morning and finds out
what is in it. The sewage must be con
veyed inland and disposed of. It is util
ized as a fertilizer and pays a profit.
There is not, so far as is known, a sea
side resort in America where the sewage
is not ponred into the sea near the
place. This is a nice kind of water to
bathe in.
Missionaries are not deterred by the
terrors of Ku-Chang from sailing for Chi

has not hesitated a moment to go forth

Good morning sir,, I am informed
his is Dr. G. B. Williams, proprietor o
the Liver and Kidney Pills. My name
is Hanland, Dr. I live in Philadelphia
and am glad to see you purposely to
congratulate you upon the knowledge of
formulating the-best Liver and Kidney
j ill anywhere to be found. Words can
not describe the suffering I have had to
undergo for the last ten years until last
November, when I was induced by Mrs.
DeLion, a lady neighbor of ours in
Philadelphia, tofgo to taking your Liver
and*Kidney pills and I have taken them
at regular intervals, just by the direc
tions on the vial and it seems to me
they have been improving me since the
first few days. My skin is clearer, my
general health very much better than it
has been for ten or twelve years. I now
weigh what I did 15 years ago, 152
pounds. ^ I have in my case tested their
efficacy fully and should you ever visit
Philadelphia Dr., I would be pleased
very much to meet you at Hotel Stenton,
at which house you will be exceedingly
well pleased. I will, with much pleas
ure, certainly deliver the message to
your agent, Mrs. DeLion, upon my ar
rival at home which will be soon, as I
anticipate leaving Savannah next Mon
day or Tuesday.
