SUGAR CANE GROWERS
MET AND TALKED
DF OUTLOOK.
I
By E. C. Bruffey.
Mae >n, Ga.. May 6.—(Special.)—The sugar
can's growers of the south opened a three
days’ session here this morning and dur
ing the day the delegates in attendance
heard cane, its growth and its products
di ■■ussed more fully and more learnedly
• tan ever before. There are 80 delegates
• attendance, representing the southern
states in which cane Is grown, and the
interest each of these has shown indi
cates their estimate of the subject in
hand.
Ihe feature of the day’s session was
tlie permanent organization this morning
and tlto various addresses of welcome, and
the responses. Captain D. G. Purse,
chairman of the convention committee
through which tiro present association
has been worked up, presided at the open
ing and during the morning session, ami
when a permanent organization was ef
fected he was made first president of the
association.
Welcomed to the State.
Immediately after the retirement of the
committee on organization Chairman
Purse, with a programme in hand, arose
and after expressing his regrets at the
inability of Governor Terrell to be pres
ent. Stated that Hon. Harvie Jordan
would, in the governor’s place, welcome
the visiting delegates to the state of
*»» orgia. Senator Jordan’s address was
short and to the point, in touching upon
the sugar cane industry, he said:
’’Georgia, the mother of sugar cane
growing in tite south, bids you, the dele
gates to this, the first sugar cane grow
ers tonvention. a happy welcome. Is it
»»t fitting that the first convention of
sugar cane growers should be held in that
si .tc which first gave sugar cane any at- I
’< tion as an agricultural and financial
product?”
Senator Jordan showed that three-quar
;l century ago sugar cane was
known, grown and used in this state.
1i m , he said, “but little was known
It al tiial time and few dreamed of
t o great possibilities in store for the
; -dt.- t which came to us in practically
wild state. Since attention has been
given to its culture we have al! noticed
great advanmerit in that industry, i
S.iup mad.' from tins cane now lias an |
enviable reputation all over the country I
Ih< se sirups are known practically wher j
• t sirups are used.”
Senator Jordan expressed his belief that i
- deliberations of the sugar cane I
powers lure assembled would mark a i
new era for the entire south. The possi- ■
h itics of tile south, he declared, were i
t only unequaled, but were unques- |
ti cted. Importations he asserted, were !
apidly becoming a thing of the past and !
day by day the people of Georgia were •
£> ' ming more and more self-reliant ami *
idep. ndent of outside trade. He declared I
that the first half of the twentieth cen I
t win witm ss a. complete close of all "
foreign importations ami tli.it much >f ■
that Woiliu be due to the fact that the i
people at home are learning the great I
, ssibillty of their possessions.
<’hairman Purse informed the con ven- I
n that Governor Jennings, of Florida. ■
ut.o had been programmed to respond to
>rgl: s welcome, would not be able to ’j
be present on account ,-f official business. |

his regret and the regret of his entire

that almost every other. country can
produce sugar can cheaper than Louis
iana, and yet the production in that
state is large.”
Judge Rost turn*.] to the sugar beet
industry, and his remarks showed the
extensive study lie had given that prob
lem.
"While Louisiana,” said the judge, "is
called a sugar growing state, only about
one-third of the territory is given to
cane growing. In Louisiana we raise
cotton, corn and other cereals in a much I
larger acreage than that given to cane.
And as I have said, it is expensive farm
ing with us, but sill there, is always
money in it. We have seen sugar sell ,
from 3 1-2 to 10 cents a. pound when the i
cost of production was practically the
same. Late and improved machinery,
or rather its absence, is a great draw- I
back in some sections, while with us its '
presence enables us to attend the crop ;
witli a profit. The moment capital finds I
advantageous investment in the south j
there will be no trouble to establish fac
tories. In my mind there is no doubt that
the culture of cane will be a success. If
the consumption of sugar cane and its
products in the next ten years con
tinues as it has recently. the de
mand will outstrip the production.”
Report on Organization.
At this point the committee on perma
nent organization return'd with its re
port. By the report Captain D. G. Purse,
chairman of the convention committee,
was made permanent president of the
association. The list of officers as sub
mitted was:

lina .
The report of the committee was adopt
ed without discussion and by a unani
mous vote.
Following the report, the address of
the morning from a < ane growers stand
i point came. It was by \\ . B. ROtiden-
I berry, of Cairo, Ga.. and indicated the
deep study the speaker had given the
subject.
"The sugar cane industry has increased
greatly within the last ten years.” said
the speaker. "The lands where tile cane
is grown have greatly increased in value,
and tlie people are better off in every
way than they were before the cane was
cultivated. In those sections we now find
good schools, brick store buildings and
churches. Once these were not thought
I of. And yet the cane industry is only
jin its infancy. When wo consider tlie
■ present output is from the crudest kind
j of machinery, what must we think of the
I possibilities when we are able to utilize
I the improved machinery now on the
i market and to add to our sirup making
■ that, of sngai ""
I From his observation and work he felt
I sure there were sections of Georgia. Ali-
I bama, Florida, and Mississippi peculiarly
1 adapted to the growth of the. cane.
i Mr. Roddenberry is the owner of 380 ,
I acres of land, all of which is in cultlva
, lion near Cairo. Epon this land he places
la. valuation of sl6 an acre, and taking
I that as a basis he proved one of the
I most, entertaining speakers before tlie
i body during the. day. Forty-three acres
of his land is given up to cane culture, !
land from his ■ aim last, year, the rest ;
j of the farm having eared for all other
I expenses, he realized a profit of $5,567.
! That was at the rat” of $-S4 per acre on
i l.is i ano land, while the other crops gave
i a profit of only $6 an acre. Mr. Rodden-
I berry told of the profits made by tlie ’
i use of even the crude machinery and the i
I many’ disadvantages to which the planter i
is now subjected. Mr. Roddenberry had ■
given flic subject an exhaustive study I
and it was apparent to his hearers that ■
he was well versed in the culture of :
sugar cane and its productions.
Th” afternoon session was opened by
! R. E. Rose, state chemist, of Tallahassee.
Fla., and production of sugar < ane in
Florida was his theme. Mr. Rose show d
the remarkaTde growth in the acreage
given to cane in his state in the last
nineteen years. He dwelt upon the pro
duction ot beet sugar and declared that
two-thirds of the sugar used in the world
had come from beets. Entil recent yea's, j
he said, no effort had been made to in- '•
crease tite quality of cane and the mak- |
Ing of sirups in sugars. Mr. Rose then •
gave an interesting account of the intro- |
duction of sugar cane in Florida.
A. A Denton, of Medicine Ixidge. Kans., i
has not arrived, and Dr. \V. Stuobs, i
director of the Louisiana experiment sta- i
tion. one of the greatest sugar expetts !
in tho world, moved up on tin’ pro- I
gramme one number. Before Dr. Stubbs !
opened his address President Purse an
nounced a number of standing commit
tees. Dr. Stubbs opened his address by
| ileelaring that thirty years ago lie had
visited Macon as an attendant upon a
convention of planters. Tlie doctor then
mlnutelv described the making of sugar
and declared that Georgia is so perfect

can come in competition with Hie world.

sufficient amount of cane." raid the doe
! tor, "the central factories will come hero
and the making of sirups and sugars
Will begin.”
Dr. Stubbs then declared that the rail

speaking of the value of the <-ro;>, de
clared that Georgia lands would produce

duce 1.500 pounds of juice, or 25 or 30

Dr. Wiley's Address.
Dr. 11. M. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry of the national agricultural
department, made an address, which was
the opening event on the evening pro
gramme and well were tho sugar cane
growers entertained by him. Dr. Wiley
made apparent the deep and thorough
study he has given cane culture, sugars,
and other matters pertaining to agricul
ture, both theoretically and practically.
Dr. Wiley told his audience that tlie
beet sugar had been with us about a
hundred and fifty years. In those days
sugar was a. luxury, he said. During
tile time of tlie Napoleonic wars the
source of sugar was cut off, and it was
then the people had resort to the maple
tree, and it was about that time tiiat
Napoleon, realizing the great value of
sugar ami its scareitj, issued bis de
crees establishing experimental stations,
"So,” said tlie doctor, "it is to France
we owe the development of the l.eet su
gar Industry.” The doctor declared that
the Germans followed France and that
today the kaiser's government holds the
load in that line. He declared that six
of tlie ten million tons made annually
was from beets. He asserted It was not
a question of making sugar from beets
in the south, but said that. it. would be
tho keen competition the south would
have to encounter, as beets grown from
the same sed in the north contained
10 to 15 per cent more sugar. Tlie doc
tor presented the value of the beet as
a sugar producer anil the worth of the
cane for the same purpose in a. manner
perfectly understood by his audience. Ho
related ' mail', of th. experiments the
government is making, not only along tills
line, but upon other lines of Interest to
tlie agriculturists.
Sugar Growers Close Meeting.
Macon. Ga., May 7. (Special ) Reclproci-|
ty with Cuba because it would discrimi- j
mite against th” tobacco, sugar cane, and j
fruit growers of the south, a pure food
law with a Sufiicient amount of money nt
the disposal of Hie commissioner of agri
culture to enforce it, anil an animated
and spirited dcba.tc of Mark Hannas ship
subsidy scheme were the features of the
second day s session of the sugar cane
growers' convention.
The live wires were touched during the
evening conversation and at times tlie
debate was warm and of a semi i olilica.l
nature, especially so when tiie committi e
■ ,ei i-e«o’:it i•' l :< pie'-.-nted a paper seeking

t'lins we urg” upon congress especially out
own representatives to apply such reme-
: dies as to them may seem advisable.”
Instantly ’lie discussion was on. One
: delegate declared that lie could not stand
! for tlie resolution, as it was an indorse-
I ment ” f Mark Hanna’s ship subsidy
Senator Clay Heard.
1 Senator Steve Clay was tlie interesting
feature of tlie morning session, and his
address was given the undivided atten
tion of tlie large audience.
Senator Clay was in a good voice and
appeared to have his subject well in
hand. He was to present Secretary Wil
son and well he did it. The farmers, he
declared, were, as a rule the better class
of any colnmunity and as a rule formed
: the back bone of every section not only
iof Georgia, but of overt slate in the
i union. Tlie Georgia farmer, he said, was
■ the equal of the best in any section and
: nowhere was the agriculturist more de
i voted to his calling than right here in
I tlie state he had the honor of represent
! Ing at Washington.
; "if I favored legislating for any one
| class at all,” said tlie senator, "that one
i class would be the farmer. No man
| needs the help of the government mure
. I iian lie. He not only de. ■ rves, but is
i entitled to tlie aid of congress. This is
true not only in Georgia, but in every
other state of the union."
Senator t’lay, glancing toward Secretary
of Agr'culturi’ Wilson, said
"Secretary Wilson is the best, head
of tlie agricultural department the gov
ernment has ever had. He lias done more
for tlie farmer and, as far as that goes,
for every class than any of his predeces
sors. Tlie secretary went to the legisla
ture out in lowa direct from a farm,
and when he got there he proved the
farmers’ best friend. Then he w: nt to
congress, and when he got to Wash
ington lie tried liT4 hand on the natiun.il
government and again the farmer of his
stale was greatly benefit* d. His record
as a legislator, both in lowa and in Wash
ington. placed him praeticallj- at Hie
hold of the agriculturists of the country,
and the result was his selection for the
agricultural portfolio. Whzu lie came to
the cabinet he knew b it one thing, and
that was the advancem -nt of the farmers
of the nation. Since I came In contact
with him 1 have found him so devoted
to his duties that lie has never had Hie
lime to indicate to me liis political faith.
So far he has uttered no official act of
which I am cognizant which would indi
cate whether lie has a leaning toward
republicanism or toward democracy."
Ovation Given Wilson,
Whe.n Secretary Wilson was presented
to the convention he was given a recep
tion which was pleasant to thos» upon
the stage as it showed the respect and
esteem entertained by the audience for
tlie. distinguished head of the agricul
tural department. Secretary Wilson
opened by saying:
"Tlie senator from Georgia, a states
man we ail like to lioi r and a man of
whom Georgia should think well, has been
too complimentary to ni” and my work.
Still I must add that I appreciate what
lie said of an lowa farmer, for 1 am
proud of the fact that I am an lowa
farmer. It has been my aim since I
wont into the agrieultu• ■ I department to
do evtrytliing in my power and in tlie
riowei of tlie dei artment to aid the farm
er it mattered not where he belonged,
it has been my aim t > ooperate fully
with tlio.se who till Hie soil. Great
changes are now combo; over the coun
try. Tlie farmer, day b' d iv, is becoming
wiser and naturally mor* and more pow
erful. Just now tliere r a. class of peo
ple coming to this country from countries
willi a similar latitude. I hey are coming
from a country where lauds are worth
S3OO an ane and they ar- coming to find
cheaper homes. Natural’.-, their attention
will lie drawn to Hie south, because the
south offers a, climate like tlie one they
have always had.
"The northern farmer hasn’t the ad
vantages tile farmer of tills section has
and it will be impossible for you all to
! keep your good things to yourselves
' when once what you 1- ' is found out.
. The farmer up north or ” he learns what
i you have will be coming ibis way too,
for there is no better s* tion tlie world
over than this gulf belt "
Secretary Wilson de-iared that Hus
countrv liad Hi- heaithi-st animals in
l ih” world and told wli.u lhe department
had done. He d> * lar. o Lint the Euro
pean countries were ir-’.v experimenting
largely with cott n rlca and were

"We,” said th I' tary. "give our
information <iwa\ alike, but some
of tli'i coLiut' • •uivo issiHjil strict
orders against giving Americans any in
forr ,a ‘ ion whatever.
Secretary Wilson showed the hard
work the (lepar'meiit. is frequently put
to in obtaining re f-. ds.el” . from
other countries li< spoke of the tobac

I r‘Ti’-y. "tlait yon cnee growers here have
I a cane in which there is just a mucn

S* r>’tar;. Wilson showed that although
agriculture is th( pursuit of mm” than
half flic people of Hie nation, less atten
tion is paid to its study by our institutions
of learning than is paid to the profes
sions, and deciareii tiiat tlie scleiols and
colleges are overcrowding the professions,
until the average professional man and
I.rain worker earns less than a stone
mason. II” declared such a system must
oe changed. He said tiiat where educa

. Fassiva by Professor II E. Stock
bridge, of Lake <’ity, l-'l.i.. was presented
■ plainly and cleverly by that Floridan,
i His talk was interesting and from start
i Io finish he hcl<l the attention of his au
dience. Professor Stockbridge was on
the programme for the morning session,
i but was not re.ivlusl until the conven
‘ tion reassembled at 3 o’clock in tlie after
noon
ASugtar Pi”duec-d from Maizv Com
mercially Considered was liandled by
Professor F. L Stewart, of Murrays
ville, I’u.
Dr. Wiley touk for his third appearance
the "Character of Sugar < ’one Grawn in
Georgia and Adjoining States and Some
Points of a Scientific Character in Regard
to Manufacture and Mark -ting." Like his
■ mor addrt - - Dr. Wiley was intei *
ing and entort iining H” . xpress.-d him
self as opposed to the use of glucose to
prevent crystalizati'iu. tie expressed a
(iesiro to know whether barrels of Geor
gia sirup, which wont to Boston, left that
cit\ in the same shape.
"For.” said the doctor the shipping rec
ords will show that aboai the time this
Georgia sirup reached Boston great quan
tities of glucose wore soul there too.”
Professor McCandless, state chemist,
followed Dr. Wiley and stated that out
of thirtce-n p.iclmges of Georgia sirup pur
chased by him at random six were found
to have been adulterated with glucose
from 20 to 68 per cent. Professor Mc-
Candless said that there was no law
against this adulteration.
Chancellor Hill Talks,
Chancellor W. B. Hili, of the University
of Georgia., occupied Hie stage at the
opening of the evening session. He de
clared tiiat education in Hie past had
tended to educate the child away from
the soli, to turn his thoughts from lhe
country to the city.
He advocated a new line of teaching
and declared that agricultural education
transdescends any other kind of educa
tion. in Ireland, he said, as in prance,
l it. is made compulsory, while in Germany
I every branch ot agriculture is covered,
l He spoke of the conditions of the country
I schools and said of ail the states Georgia,
and one other slate alone have tailed to
supplement the government s appropria
tion for agricultural instruction. Chan
cellor Hill's address was interesting
t hroughout.
A resolution declaring it tlie sense of
Hie convention that the Cane Growet s
Association should make an exhiliit at tho
world's fair of sirups and the process of
manufacturing them was adopted.
A resolution directing (lie oiiicers and
tho executive committee of tlie Cane

growers of the south was adopted.
The place for tho next meeting was

MAJOR WARREN KILLED
Major Janies W. Warren, the well
known veteran secretary of tlie executive
department, was struck ami instantly
killed last. Monday by Georgia railroad
IMissenger train No. 1 due in Atlanta at
12:50 o’clock p. in.
Tlie accident happened just in front of
Major Warren’s home at Kirkwood and
was witnessed by his daughter, Miss Hat
tie Warren, who stood on tlie front, ve
randah waiting her father's home coming.
About two years ago Major Warren suf
fered an apoplectic stroke from which
lie never entirely recovered, and which
so seriously affected his gait, that lie was
not able to walk without difficulty. As
lie started slowly across tlie track Hie
train suddenly appeared, and though lie
made every effort, to get. out. of the way.
tlie. train was upon him so quickly that
it was impossible. In his effort to reach
safetj he stumbled and in the next mo
ment the engine struck bin-., dragging
him under the wheels for a distance of
several hundred yards.
Major Warren’s death must have been
practically instantaneous. Almost the
moment he was struck the wheels passed
over his body, which was crushed and
mutilated beyond recognition; The arms
were severed, tlie body cut in two and
the head ground and mashed under the
wheels. The fragments were gathered up
and brought into tlie city in tlie baggage
ear. from which they wire sent to the
undertaking establishment of Swift &
Myers to be prepared for burial.
Governor Terrell issued tlie following
executive order relating to Major Mar

The "1900" Ball-Bearing Washer is b
yond doubt the greatest l.i boi'-:- i ving ilia- .
chine ever invented for limilj use. En
tirely new principle. It is simplicity ii- ;
self." 'There are no wheels, paddles, rock
ers, cranks or complicated maeliinery. Il |
revolves on bicycle ball bearings, making
it by far the easiest running washer oa
the ’market. No strength requir' d; i-hild
can operate it.
No more stooping, rubbing. L iling of i
’ clothes. I lot water and soap all that

' ing of the saving of soap and materials j
pays for machine in a short time. D e :;
be prejudiced. This is entirely different j
from and far superior to a i
ing machine ever made.
[ The ”1900” Washer is not a cheaply !
made machine. It is constructed of the
very best materials: it is handsome, com- I
pact, and strong, and will last a life-
1 time. I

When Hon. Robert W de Forest, the
president, of the national conference, arose ;
to deliver his annual address, he was >
forced to wait, for several minutes be- i
fore beginning because of the applause i
that greeted him. It was evident tiiat Mr.
