CALEDONIA, HENRY COUNTY, (Tcnn)
OCTOBER 26, 1912.
DEAR SlR: have the pleasure of informing
you that MIR. James l.. Vaughan OF this vicinity
has succeeded in manufacturing beautiful clear
molasses from cornstalks. 1t is pronounced by
all who have tasted il lar preferable 10 that made
from sugar cane. 1t has somewhat the appear
ance oil honey, and the more you use it the better
you like IT. The mill for grinding the stalks is
very simple, costs only six dollars, and can be
made by any common mechanic who las ever
once seen 1t. With this mill, which would an
swer very well for an apple mill, and which runs
with two horses, he produced one hundred aud
twenty gallons OF juice per day. The yield of
molasses from the juice as it came from the mill
was as one 10 five. IMPLANTED early and cut in
August or September, Mr., Vaughn thinks about
sixty gallons of moiasses from each acre in corn
might be obtained, and perhaps more. The corn
which lie used was planted very late in June, and
a severe frost fell before ne finished cutting IT,
10 this frost and to the fac! that the com had not
sCthcient time to mature properly, he attributes
his failure In making sugar. Mr.. Isaac Norman.
The mechanic who constructed the mill, aud who
mad been an Old sugar planter in Georgia, SAYS
mat ne never saw finer sirup from the sugar cane
or which gave greater appearances Of granting,
and That Ii did not grain must be altogether owing
10 the frost which fell the day before they COM

highly pleased with the success of his experiment
so lar, having demonstrated conclasiveIy tina,

~ farmer III Tennessee can manufacture his own
molasses, and that Of a superior quality. Another

be mentioned that the refuse juice which is skim

THE WIFE FOR ME.

| seek female in whose heart
Domestic duties share part;
Not fond of gaudy dress, or show,
To please some foppisb, senselcss beau;
Who rather at her worksbe seen,
Than pace the town with naughty mein,
Addressing every male she meets,
In hustle mart or crowded streets;
But one, intelligent and kind,
With every virtue well refined,
Who loves her home and there will shine,
A devo;ee.to VISIONS shrine;
Such if meet, true she will be,
Aud make happy wife for me-

IDLE DAUGnTERs.-Iti is, says Mrs. Ellis,
a most painful spectacle in families where
the mother is the drudge, to see the daugh-
tiers elegantly dressed, reclining at their
ease, with their drawing, their music, their
fancy work, and their reading; beguilng
themselves of the lapse of hours, days and
weeks, and never dreaming of their respon-
siblites or their duty These individuals
will often tell you with an air of affected
compassion-for who can believe it real p
that "poor dear mamma is working herself
to DEATH" Yet, no sooner do you propose
that they should assist her, than they declare
she is quite in her element-in short, that
she would not be half as happy if she had

ExTRAoRDINARY EVENT, ~ TRuE-The London
Courier has copied the following story from the
Etoie, Paris paper, of man being restored to
life after having been frozen in alavanche for one
hundred and sixty-slx years The editor calls up
on Maj. Longbow, Munchauscn, and Ferdinand
Mendez Pento, to hide their diminished heads;
"Dr. James Hothnm, of Morpeth, Northumber-
land, returning from Switzerland, is stated TO have
reported that most extraordinary event had lately
passed at the foot of Mount St Go,hord league
from Aizoi, in the valley of Levantina, At the
bottom of kind Of cavern, the body OF man, about
thirty years of age, was perceived under heap of
ice proceeding from an aavanche. AS the body
seemed to be fresh as if il had been stfed only
half an hour before, DIR. Holman caused il to be Ia
ken out, and, having had the clothes pulled off, or
dercd it to be plunged in cold water. II was then
so frozen that it covered with crust of ice
Ii was then placed in lukewarm water. Afterwards
il was put in a warm bed, and treated as usual IN
cases of suffocaton, by which means animation
was restored What was the astonIshment of eve
rybody when the individual having recovered the
use of his faculties, declared that he was Roger
Dodsworth, the of the antiquary of the same
name, born in 1919, who returning from Italy IN
1860 year after the death of his father buried
in an avalanche.
DR. Hothnm, according to the same account, IL
stated to have added that Mr.. Dodsworih feels
great stiffness in all his joints, but by degrees they
will become as flexible as before the accident. j
Mr. Dodsworih fully RECEIVERS, and should pass thro
Lyons to return 10 his country, after one hundred
and sizty-six years absence, it may be predcte'
that he will attract, in the highest degree, the pub
lie curiosity"

WHY SHOULD WE PAY MORE FOR EVE
RY ARTICLE WE USE?

This is the only argument used by the adj
vocates of free trade against tariff We
do not pay more under tariff than we
should without it, and experience, the best
proof shows it. A tariff reduces the price
of the articles protected in most instances.
Its operation is plain and convincing to all
who will understand Now tariff, by its
protection establishes manufactures IN our
country, and produces a competition which
diminishes the price. Without tariff for
eiqners have the entire control of our mar
ket and charge what they please.
They in fact monopolze our whole trade,
and make immense profits. But with tar
if, their profits are reduced and in nine
cases out of ten the market price of pro-
tected article is less with tariff than with
out it. The fact is well known, and many
articles within our own knowledge have
been greatly reduced under the protective
system.
The object of a tariff is not so much TO
enhance the price of articles as to regulate
the competition in them-to prevent foreign
capitalists from underselling our manufac-
turers in order to destroy them, and then
make enormous profits sufficient to cover
all losses sustained in underselling, by the
monopoly of the whole trade thus produced
When our manufacturers are destroyed
the competition is destroyed also, and for
eign nations have full and complete contro
of the price of articles in our market, and tc
suppose they will not demand higher price
for their commodities without competition
from our own manufacturers is to snppos,
they are different from all mankind, and de
not regard the profits as any part of trade
But with tariff and the competition atten
dant upon it, foreign articles are reduced il
price generally TO the amount of duty ant
; thus we actually pay no more than we shoul'
without tariff, and our government is nc
tually supported by foreign nations Will
our citizens pay no more for what they use
But says one, sugar for instance, was reduc
, ed in price by the want of a tariff. Suppos
= it was for time. But without tariff n
American sugar would be manufactured
This country depending upon other cour

MODERATE DRINK Frs.

II is time to stir up this interesting class of the

This is the inevitable result of moderate drink

that was not bad anecdote which we heard
the other day from the lips of an accomplished
divine. The eccentric Rowland Hill, among
the numerous religious notices which it was
his custom to read every Sabbath after service,
once delivered the following 'An humble parta-
kear in Christ desires to know why Bro. Hill
finds it necessary to ride TO church in sumptu-
Gus carriage, when his divine Master never rode
anywhere except on an ass |" Upon which pious
inquiry, "Brolher Hill," showing up his spec
iacles ON his forehead and with all air of great
humility, thus commenced; | would say, in
answer to my humble brother, that have a

FAREWELL We remember once TO
have stood on the deck of a vessel to bid
farewell to one who was to travel many and
many mile distant The last word that
was spoken, farewell, TREMENDOUSLY, as the
heart was too full and choaked the utterance.
What world of meaning there is in that
word The mother breathes it as the spir
il of the first born departs, and she hears
the cherubs whisper as they bear its young
soul away eve have no business here" 1t
is the child's word to the mother whose arms
have so often supported his FORM whose eyes
have so often beamed forth kindness, whose
Inns have never Embossed but to utter the
melody of affection, he behods her now a
stark and stifiened corse, the spirit far away
from its tenement wandering amid the bliss
fnl homes where love keeps lis undisputed
throne
1t is the language of the wife to the dying
husband, when years Of comfort and solace
are coming to close and the light of life to
be forever quenched 1t is the mariner
last word as he bounds upon the gallant bark
and spreads its canvass to the breeze. 1t rs
the word of ambition as it looks back on the
desoIate towers which his fancy had built in
fairy splendor. 1t is the language of the
brother when he stands by the grave of a
young sister, snatched away in purity and in
nocence, "ere earth had proianed what was
meant for the skies" 1t is the lovers last
word as he parts from her who has been the
object of his idolatry, and knows not wheth
err on earth he ever shall meet her again. Is
it not when uttering that word, our atten
ton naturally tends to that abode where
parting shall iorver cease and be unknown

The Latter day lSaints-The emigration
Of the "Mormons, Cor Latter day Saints"
from this port is daily increasing. Notwith-

Der Of his dupes on the other side of the At
lantc The class of persons thus emigrat-
ing are, in appearance and worldly circum-
stances, above the ordinary run of steerage
passengers. The bulk of them are from the
midland counties-farmers and farmers SER
wants, with their wives and families. Up
wards of 5000 have already emigrated, and
an equal number will probably leave before
spring. As no better freight is offering
l the New Orleans vessels are taking these
disciples of the knavish blacksmith at a very
low figure. The Sydney, for instance, only

while the Henry has agreed to carry l40 fol

head All this is clearly indicative of two
things first, the utter stagnation of trade
between this port and America at the pres

of superstition and simplicity amongst large
class Of our countrymen who ought to know
