60 YEARS*
EXPERIENCE
$40,000 For Georgia Syrup.
Savannah News.
Congress, it seems, will appropri
ate $40,000 for the advancement
of . the interests of the Georgia syrup
growers. The amount that was ap
propriated last year was $20,000,
and it was well and wisely spent.
The $40,000 that will be spent this
year will assist greatly in making
known to the farmers of South
Georgia the possibilities of the su
gar cane which they are now culti
vating so freely. They are just be
ginning to realize what a mine ..of
wealth they have in their farms.
It haB not been so many years
since the pine lands of South Geor
gia were regarded as almost value
less for agricultural purposes. Now
it is being discovered that when
properly cultivated they 'will yield
abundantly of the crops to which
they are adapted. Most of the long
staple cotton of this state is now
grown upon them and it is practi-
oally certain that in the course of a
very few years the Georgia syrup
crop will almost equal in 'value the
long staple cotton crop.
The cane syrup industry is just
beginning to be handled in an intel
ligent and business like way. By
that we do not mean that there are
not farmers who have not handled it
intelligently and profitably for years.
We simply mean that the great -ma
jority of those who have been mak
ing syrup have not understood the
possibilities of the business. They
have made a syrup of an inferior
quality, and therefore have obtained
a price for it that barely paid the
cost of making it. They are seeing
now how a superior article can be
made and finding out that for a
high grade article there is an almost
unlimited demand at a profitable
price. ,
Georgia syrup is far better than
New Orleans molasses, or any other
kind of molosses, for the reason that
none of the sugar is extracted from
it. It is more desirable than maple
syrup, and when it comes to be gen
erally known will, it is safe to say,
obmmand a better price than that
syrup. Unless we are greatly mis
taken, the time is dose at hand
when a very large part of the lands
of South Georgia will be devoted to
the cultivation of sugar cane and
the syrup business will be one of the
chief sources of the state’s wealth. '
Turpentine by a New Process.
A company with a capital of $30,-
000 has been organized at Moultrie,
Ga., for manufacturing turpentine
from pine straw and lightwood, by, a
process entirely new. They propose
to make tar, soap, paint, creosote,
varnish and several other products.
The old Georgia pine is getting to
be a hard rival of petroleum in the
multitude of its uses. Who knows
but that the farmers of the p\ne belt
will be able to have all the old pine
stumps removed from fields and
tamed into a source of profit? The
possibilities of this section are sim
ply astonishing.—Montgomery Mon

THE COMMONER,
(Mr. Bryan’s Paper.)
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation of 100,000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history of
American periodical literature. The
unparalleled growth of this paper de
monstrates that there is room in the
newspaper fields for a national paper de
voted to the discussion of political,
economic,.and social problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr. Bryan
contributes his best efforts ;and his views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner’s • regular subeription
price is $1.00 per year. We have arrang
ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur
nish his paper and Home Journal to
gether for ona year for $1.90. The reg
ular subscription price of the two pa
pers when suboribed for separately is
$2.50.

Gifford Pinchot, chief of the bu
reau of forestry, who was sen o to
the Philippines by Secretary of Ag
riculture Wilson to make a personal
study of the timber there, has re
turned and made a report of his ob
servations.
Mr. Pinchot traveled some 3,000
miles on a government gunboat, vis
iting a considerable part of the arch
ipelago., Mnch of his traveling was,
done by night in order that time
might be afforded by day to give
the rank forests near the coast and
along the rivers a thorough examin
ation. The forests of all the larger
islands were examined, with a view
to classing the tress and investigate
theft probable availability for lum
ber. Many of the smaller islands
were also visited.
The forestry expert found many
trees hitherto unknown to him and
rather difficult to classify. As the
result of his journey," 700 species of
trees have been described and classi
fied. According to Mr. Pinehot's re
port, the best timber in the Philip
pines is found on the island of Min
danao, where the largest trees rise
to a height of 150 and even 175
feet, with cleaiylengths varying from
90 to 100 feet. Mindanao is tlie
heaviest timbered island, and Para-
gua next. Cebu is practically tim
berless, and some of. the other isl
ands are a good deal on the prairie
order, it is estimated that about
half of the entire insular area is cov
ered with forests.
The timber of the islands is al
most without exception in its virgin
state, and the development of the
logging industry promises vast re
turns to capital. Bo unenterprising
are the natives in this respect that
now a good portion of the lumber
used on the islands is imported
from the United States. Among
the prolifio timber are some magnif
icent specimens of cabinet wood, of
unique grain and polishing surface,
and so heavy that they sink in wa
ter. Pine is about the only timber
recognziable by Americans, and it is
to be found only in one province.

The next witness was a hard-fist-

une.
“Mr. Gigson,” said the attorney
for the defense, “are you acquainted
with the reputation of this man for
truth and veracity in the neighbor
hood in which he lives?”
“I reckon I am,” replied the wit
ness.
“I will ask you to state what it is.”
“Well, sir, his rep’tation fur truth
ain’t no good, His rep’talion fur
vrassity—well, thafs diff’runt. Some
says he does, and some says he
don’t.”
“Witness,” interposed the judge,
“do you know the meaning of verac
ity?"
“I reckon I do.”
“What do you understand by the
word?”
Then he looked up defiantly,
“I refuse to answer that question,
judge,” he said, “on the ground, that
it might discriminate me.”
We hear that Mr. Pope Brown is
making rapid and extensive im
provements on his place eight miles
west of town. He has recently put
up a handsome cottage in front of
Mr. N. P. Miller’s,in which his man
ager, Mr. Jim Brown, lives. He has
also put up an addition to his mill
and gin plant in the shape of a plac
ing mill. He has added to his store
a large warehouse building, and is
putting up twenty new settlements
on his farm. The whole place looks
like a western town in the midst of
a boom,—-Hawkinsville Dispatch.
