Governor Terrell has accept'd the In
vitation to come to Macon and deliver
the nddrehfl of welcome at the meeting
of the sugar cane growers In May. This
convention will be an Interstate affair,
and distinguished men and experts will
address it. /
W> are glad the governor Is coming
to give to the meeting a send off. He
1s always welcomed In Macon—whether
to attend an Owl dinner, or to felicitate
the men who make our sweets. Ben
Jones' pickaninny band Is practicing
on "Sugar in the Gourd" for the open
ing number on the programme, and It
will no doubt stir latent memories In
the gubernatorial breast of candy pull
ings In the boyhood dsys when he was
a country lad.
The time was when the "gourd" wan
sufficient to hold the little yield of
"short sweetening" on the farm In
Georgia, but we havo a movement on
foot now to re-wrltc the old song, nnd
In the new stanzas we will refer to it
as "Bugnr by the Ton." The pickaninny
band can not utter the words, but In
the stead of words It can make a loud
sound to emphasize the new Idea In the
old song.
Seriously speaking, the governor Is
the right man to start this convention
ball to rolling, nnd we are glnd that
Cnpt. Purse succeeded In procuring his
assistance In the matter. It l* going to
be one of the most important conven
tions ever assembled in Georgia. It will
emphasize the starting In rent earnest
of a great movement for this state and
the Bouth.
If one spenk* of "CJrenter Georgia"
let him contemplate the possibilities of
the sugar cane; a crop that never falls
—a crop that can be more cheaply cul
tivated per sere than corn—a crop that
will yield more profit per acre than any
other field crop that can be grown In
the state. These facta have been dem
onstrated right here In Georgia. Bar
rels of sugar will command th# cnah
every day In the year. They nre ns
standard as blocks of gold. These Unit
ed States lack more than one hundred
millions of dollars worth of sugar an
nually of supplying thf home demand.
In other words, we send every ,year
more than one hundred millions of dol
lars abrond for sugar. Besides, Georgia
syrup Is fast coming Into demand all
over the world. We nro shipping It to
Europe more nnd more every year.
It Is going to he n very great meet
ing here In May nnd wo are glad the
governor Is coming down to help us
ahove the good thing along.

wan ever written, or if written whether
the history lived. Nothing succeed*

since confessed that the enfranchise
ment of the negroes haa been n failure,
and,on Lincoln's birthday a Republican
committee of the Republican
voted against the confirmation of Crum.
Still more significant is the comment of
Republican newspapers.
For tho first Ume, we believe, Repub

coin against the Indiscriminate enfran
chisement of the emancipated race. Tho

what many nre saying privately. It would

But wo havo It on authority of the

have grown cold, the Independent I’ost

of the latter process Is given by <he

COMMERCIAL VALUE

ATLANTA. Feb. l>.-Co!. John F. De-
lac.y of Kastman, «olicltor-general of
the Oconee circuit and one of the vice-
presidents of the Greater Georgia asso
ciation. Elected from that circuit, re-
turnel home la,t night. toAt.
lanta a, a delegate from Dodge county
to attend the Greater Georgia conven-
He tell, me of a new and Important
Industry thnt has recently, sprung UP
in Dodge county, which Is destined to
bring thousand, of dollar, ,rom a
source heretofore overlooked by the
people of Georgia, and at the tame time
make the farming land, of the state
more valuable than ever. ...
In a word. It hns been demonstrated
that a vast amount of wealth Is
wrapped up In the unsightly and ob
jectionable pine stumps left in the
ground after the timber has been cut
from them. Col. DeLacey say. In this
connection: "Some time ago a German
from North Carolina came to Eastman
and organized a company for the pur-
po,e of utilizing pine stumps and their
roots and converting them Into prod
ucts of a commercial value. He ex
plained his scheme, and soon had hie
company organized and his enterprise
In operation.
"He Is buying all the stumps deliv
ered at his plant at the rate of IS.M a
cord, and then working up this crude
material so as to get from It four prod
ucts These are turpentine, tar, creo
sote and charcoal. But he Is not satis
fied yet,and says that he Is going to get
another product out of the old pine
stumps, and that this will be white
lead. Of course, how he manages to do
all of this, no one on the outside knows,
but we do know that he Is getting
them.
"For firewood the« old stumps would
not bring more than 11.50 a cord, prob
ably not even that. But to.be used In
the manufacture of such products as
turpentine, tar, creosote and charcoal
they are worth 11.50 a cord, delivered
nt the plant, and may be worth more
later on. The establishment of tU>s
new nnd novel Industry has caused n
tM.748.tni big demand for stump-pulling machin
es i«i ». i i ery In our section of the state. Hun-
I'd Jjl tot , dredi are being purchased by the farin-
S1 J , era of Dodge nnd surrounding counties
.,1 .(V v ', , tor use In clearing the llclds of these
ltritj im obstructions. With these removed there
144 827.42s "111 bo quite a saving In the way of
’.r t.- - '> plow points, and the man who steers
the mule will not.have to. run his plow
around a stump or llft-lt over In runlng
his furrow. In a word, there will be a
great saving not only of time but In
available land, and this Is a big thing
In the every-day life of a farmer.
"The stump-puller Is a great Invem
tlon. The machinery, with the nld of a
mule, yanks the stump, roots nnd all.
out of the ground, and does it quickly.
Heretofore, farmer, have had to worry
with their etumps until they rotted out
of exletence. nut now they can pull
them up with machinery and sell them
nt a good price, the. result being that
their lands are Improved and their
pocketbooka filled at the enme time.'
