Statesboro,' Ga., November io, 1899 .
No faith should be placed in
dreams, but they are at least as
reliable as promises.
It is proposed to contest the
election in Kentucky, no matter
which side appears to be elected on
an official count.
The democrats regained Boston
in Tuesday’s election. McKinley
got 18,000 majority there in 1896,
but Tuesday’s majority was 7,500
democratic.
Gen. Wheeler is writing back
from the Philippines that with a
vigorous campaign the war can be
brought to a close very shortly.
Well, General; do, please, insti¬
tute that vigorous campaign.
The Hardwick election bill, a
synopsis of which was published
in these columns some weeks ago,
has been reported favorably by the
house committee, and will proba¬
bly be made a law by the present
legislature.
Recent experiments have shown
that when several wireless mes¬
sages are being transmitted at the
same time, they are liable to be¬
come mixed. We could have told
the inventor of that danger if he
had only asked us.
In the fistic contest between
Sharkey and Jeffries last Friday
night, Jeffries got the decision.
Sharkey’s friends are contending
'that it was the work of the referee
and not Jeffries’ heavy hitting
that lost him the fight.
Old Lady Smith still seems to
be the center of attraction in the
South African war. Old man
Smith is evidently away from
hoi..", but wont he kick up a row
when he comes back and finds out
how the Boers have been running
over the old lady!
Dr. Schafer, of Tampa. Fla.,
claims to be on track of “a gen¬
uine antidote for the bite of the
deadly rattlesnake.” The old
time snake medicine is good
enough for most people. The doc¬
tor wouldn’t get rich ou his “anti¬
dote” in this country.
Thanksgiving day should be
more generally observed by our
people this year than in past years.
All classes of business have felt a
revival this fall, and it is but fit¬
ting that proper acknowledgment
should be made “for the blessings
that have come to us all during
the fall.
The Herald remarked some
weeks ago that if Dewey was pre¬
sented with a very expensive man¬
sion, some rich woman would have
to marry him in order that he
might be able to keep it up in
style, The Admiral acted on our
suggestion and yesterday married
a millionaire’s widow.
The off-year political battles
have been fought. Ohio aud Ken¬
tucky have gone republican, and
Nebraska aud Maryland demo¬
cratic, so honors are about evenly
divided. It is hard to see how
either party will have any ground
to claim the results as pressaging
its own overwhelming success iu
the next presidential election, but
they will both try to figure it that

A Cotton Factory Agitated.
Tiie Herald has devoted its
best energies for several months to
the agitation of the question of a
factory ot some kind for our town.
It affords us pleasure, therefore, to
say that the matter is now assum¬
ing tangible shape.
In last week’s issue was pub¬
lished an interview from the pres¬
ident of the Crown Cotton Mills,
Dalton, Ga., ex plaining how their |
plant earned a dividend of 93 per
cent, on last year’s business. Our
fellow-townman, Mr. J. W. Wil¬
son, thereupon addressed him on
the subject, enclosing a sample of
cotton, and received the following
reply:
CROWN COTTON MILLS,
Dalton, Ga., Nov. 6th, 1899.
Mr. J. W. Wilson, Statesboro,
Ga. Dear Sir: Your favor of the
4th received, also sample of Sea
Island cotton. The cotton is dif¬
ferent from ours and I think it
would not pay to use it only in
fine yarns. My opinion is it.
would pay you to build a mill in
ycur town r*- use such cot
ton for grade hosiery
yarns, as these are now made in
the East; you would have little
competion from Southern mills on
this class of goods. The knitting
mills in the South are now buying
fine yarns in the East and are
making money. It strikes me
you could gradually add knitting
machines to your plant and thus
make both profits under one man¬
agement; you can readily seethe
advantage this would give you.
I leave for New York in a few
days, and any information I can
pick up along this line will gladly
furnish you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Yours fraternally,
G. W. Hamilton.
An old saying is, “a thing begun
is half finished;” therefore it is
pleasing to note that our monied
men are taking hold of the cotton
factory idea, and it is hoped that
they will not let it drop until
something is accomplished.
Rural Mail Delivery.
A vigorous plea for rural free
delivery is made in the annual re¬
port of First Assistant Postmas¬
ter-General Perry S. Heath, just
issu *d.
Mr. Heath says the service so
far has resulted in increased postal
receipts, enhancement of the value
of firm lands reached by rural
free delivery of from $2 to $3 per
acre; a general improvement of
the condition of the roads tra
versed by the rural carrier; better
prices for farm products, the pro
dueers being brou 0 at into daily
touch with the state of the mar
kets. besides educational benefits
conferred by relieving the monot
ony of farm life through ready
access to wholesome literature and
knowledge of current events.
On November 1 rural free deliv
ery was in successful operation
over 383 services, radiating ovet
forty states and one territory,
Idaho, Wyoming, Mississippi aud
Montana being the only states un
represented.
Between the beginning of the
new fiscal year, July 1, 1899, and
November 1, with an additional
expenditure of $150,000, rural free
delivery has been extended to
nearly 180.000 persons at an an
nual coat of about 84 cents per
capita, against an average Btnall per
capita cost of $2.80 in towns
of 6,000 population. resi
“It is a small matter to a
dent of a town,” says the report,
“to be saved a walk of a few hun
dred yards to the postoffice, while
on the contrary it is a great ac
commodation to the farmer to be
spared a drive of five or ten miles
over country roads to get his mail,
In a resent public discussion ad
vocat.es of the system who took
the value of the time lost in the
busy farming season at only 50
cents per head, found that their
figures ran up into many millions
of dollars lost to the agricultural
interests through being obliged to
send to the village for the mails.”
A S creeping Declaration.
“Men of genius are always the
first-born of their parents. Second
or third sons may be eminent men,
and sons born later may be men
of talent, blit they can never be
great.”
This is one of the latest declara
tions of Prol. Axenfeld, whoever
he is. How much study tlie Pro¬
fessor gave to the subject before
arriving at the above conclusion,
or what he was trying to prove in
his researches, is not known ; but
certain it is that all who are not
the first-born of their families take
issue with the statement. Dr.
Cyrus Edson, who is probably a
third or fourth son, takes it upon
himself to disprove the correctness
of the Professor’s assertion, and
cites a long category of contra¬
dictions, ranging from Shakes¬
peare, a third son, to Benjamin
Franklin, a fifteenth child.
So far the dispute has not assum¬
ed a very serious aspect, and it is
to be hoped that it will dropped
before the world is so much
wrought uo over the matter that
the elder brothers of each familv
find themselves set upon and de
stroyed by their younger brothers,

of our father’s family, and there
fore, ~ uncording . to . Prof. ,, ,. Axenfeld . ( ,11 s
theory, are the only one who can
ever be great, but we do not care
to insist that our second, or third,
or eighth, or thirteenth brother
I may not some day be as great a
man as we are.
Sugar Cane Industry.
Until within the past few years
little or no attention has been paid
by South Georgia farmers to the
production ot syrup for market.
Mtny of our farmers have been
conteut to plant small patches for
their own use, and to have a few
barrels to sell, but it has only re¬
cently occurred to them that there
i 9 money in the manufacture of it
for market.
A little figuring, however, shows
that there is good money to be
made in its production, and as the
demand for Georgia syrup is stead
ilv increasing, from this time on
it is safe to predict that c ur farm¬
ers will give it a share of their
attention that is now given to
cotton.
Mr, W. D. Peeples, a prominent
broker and commission merchant
of Valdosta, in a recent interview’,
says:
“Georgia cane syrup has sold in
recent years as low as 12 cents a
gallon. The price has not been
fixed, at least no offers have been
made for this crop. But the crop
is very short. The demand is
going to be the best known, and I
expect to see it open at from 18 to
25 cents a gallon. It may go
higher. Some of the finer grades
put up in bottles and square tins
will undoubtedly [go higher than
the last figure named. In fact, a
large per cent of the syrup pro
duced in Lowndes and other coun
ties sells at fancy prices, and is
rated at fancy grades,
“Next to feea Island cotton,
sugar cane is going to be the great
crop of South Georgia. Only re
„ J our le have learned
that analysis , • , has shown . that ,
an
South Georgia sugav cane con
tains a greater per cent, of sac
charine matter than the Louisiana
product. They have known
that it can be produced here as
cheaply as anywhere above the
frost line. Being nearer to the
markets, the item of freight over
comes the advantage the tropics
have in this particular. With fair
seasons no crop under this semi
tropical sun is surer than the
sugar cane crop. It grows as lux
uriautly as crab grass when it has
a fair chance, but the excessive
drouth has cut it short this year,
and the yield obtainable is going
! to bring good prices.”
