The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1872-03-21

The Post of last week states that
John Helms has left Athens and gone
TO Illinois, and that the people OF that
town and surrounding country regret
Ills departure.
We do not know to what extent the
Athenians have become attached to car
pct-haggcrS, taking into consideration
the great number that have been located
there since the close Of the war. In
fact there is no town in Fast Tennessee
that has been cursed with them like
Athens. It. appears that the Supreme
being mas had a spite at the good
people there, and smote them with
carpet-baggers and Sc"lswaga. Gods
Word teaches and tells us OF plaques in
olden times, but it fails to record such
a great plague AS Athens has had to con
tend with.
1t is to be hoped that others like
Helms will leave Athens, and that the
mir will Cease to be impregnated with the
odor arising irom the awful filth Of car
pet-bacgers that have been there ioI
TIE past seven years.

The COTier-,jOWna says, two Orthrec
of its more thoughtless Democratic eX-
changes, are beginning to discuss the
situation with all the Incorporate zeal of
that sort Of ignorance which is able to
ascribe nothing but corrupt motives to
all who do not take its view of affairs.
If the Democratic party is so poor and
weak that, in this period of the public
exigency, it can not consider what is
best to be done without running the
risk of its ruin and infaming and en-
differing its different sections, why it is
not fit to live and were better dead and
buried. But such is not the fact. The
Democrats III Congress and the nation
ally-orgunized channels of the party are
OF Ii mind, and are working harmoni-
ously toward n common end, which will
Of course vary its shape, though not its
direction, according as it is affected by
the events Of the next three months.
Meanwhile, the people should put a
clapper on the mouth of every noisy
zealot who is not able to open it without
befouling his neighbor and ~disgracing
himself

INDICTED BY THE WHOLESALE,
ESQ Nashville Merchants Fighting
Mad.

From tim Banner Of Sunday we take
the following:
On the 18th of March, 1860, the Leg
stature passed q law prohibiting the
ad%ulterNtion Of liquors. and requiring,
among other provisions, that every deal
er should appear before the County
Court Clerk and take an oath not to
mix strychnine or any other poisonous
ingredients in the liquors sold by
him.
Last Saturday, the County Court
Clerk called the attention OF all our
Wholesale merchants who dealt in Ii
quors to the oath prescribed in the law
and informed them that the Attorney
General had determined upon its en-
forcemont. So far, so good, Forewarn-
ed, forearmed, They took the oath
like law-abiding citizens and thought
no more about it. What was their

each striving to gain the ascendency
over the other. 1t is 30. because OF mans
ambition and airy ideas Of progressive

Parties. like individuals, are liable to
commit mistakes, aud no party has ever
vet been known to exist that did not
hold to some objectionable measures,
But opposing parties must exist, and

Sugar From Corn.

Every attempt that has been made
in tsiis country to produce sugar in
paying quantities, by other methods
thar by use of the cane in the South,
has proved a failure. I'm France enor-
nnotis quantities of beet sugar are
made every year, and the manufae-
ture.rs have grown rich; but no luck
has attended the beet sugar expert
1nepters in this country, though they
entered the work on a large scale in
Illirois.
Now we are to have sugar from
corn. There is no doubt about it, for
many people in this city have tasted
andsseen it, and are satisfied that
} great and Invaluable discovery in
che art of producing sugar has been
aadh.
The discoverer-or inventor-of this
aewI process is Mr.. H. G. Weinert, of
fhis pity. His character stands high
In the communicate important re-
quisite in insuring belief in his ex-
perilnents. He is a German, and is
well posted i'll chemistry, or he never
Goull have achieved success in his
search after sugar in corn field. He
owned a tannerv which was burned
Gown about eighteen months ago.
Some effects or other that he had
NOTICED of certain chemicals used in
his trade upon the potato led him to
belie1e that sugar might be obtained
from this esculent, and, after the des-
traetsen of his tannery, he commenced
Experimenting with that end in view.
He found the sugar in it, and also
found that its production from That
somch could not be profitable. The
cost Of stock was too high for one
things
But Mr. Weinert had the zeal, and
possessed the faith, that has charac-
ferizeH every inventor who has blessed
the world with the products of his
thoughts. He went to work with
carn, Ind so devotedly that he became
very Door, consuming his means until
nd haEl used up everything but his
little homestead. One of our citizens
steppad in, told him to go on and held
him ub. Recently he made his dis
co'yerf, and made it known to his
friends.

It is related that twelve young men
of Selma esswore Off drinking on New
Year day, 1871, and agreed to deposit
with one of their humber on the first
day of each month $40 each, the total
to be divided.amang the members of
the association who on the first OF
January, 1872, should prove to have
been faithful to their pledge. One by
one the members backslid and yielded
to the liquid temptation, until only
single individual was left, who at noon
on New Year day was to receive $140O.
This Abdiel, faithful found among the
faithless, proceeded to the rendezvous
at the appointed hour. He waited
until ten minutes after noon, and then
thought he would run into the saloon
next door and get@a nip. He had Just
swallowed it, when ten of the other
members entered to take their noon
day Angostura, and he found to his
horror that his watch was twenty
minutes fast, and tile money was lost.
The eleven, therefore, proceeded to the
residence of the treasurer, and found
that he had lost all the money playing
w-polser with one of the church
trustees.

Gov. Warmoth holds Mayor Elan
ders' resignation, and yet these two
high officers are not on friendly terms.
What does this show to the people?
First that the Governor is not the bad
man that he is represented to be, or
he would turn his enemy out of Office;
and secondly, that the Mayor does not
allow his office to control his politics,
for if he did he would not oppose the
officer who can turn him out at pleas
ure. The most singular part of this
affair is the enmity that Flanders
holds towards Warmoth, since he
knows himself what it is to be- beset
by the lobby. Knowing this, if there
is man in the country that ought to
sympathize with the Governor of the
State of Louisiana it is the Mayor OF
the city of New Orleans. Louisiana

in making wine, alone-and the estI-
mates as to confectioners and brewers
are not at hand. This discovery will
doubtless. work a revolution in the
use of sweetening in those occupa-
tions.
Mr.. Weinert says that with corn at
forty cents bushel, this sugar can be
delivered to purchasers at the factory
for three and a half cents per pound.
White corn is better than yellow IN
this business, because there isnoe color
to be removed. -
Of course, Mr.. Weinert keeps the
secret of the production to himself;
but some of our best citizens are going
to furnish capital with which to erect
works. The building and machinery
will cost about $4,000, and the venture
will be made with a capital of from
$4,000 to $4,000. A stock company
will be called for in few days, with o
capital of $4,000. There is no doubt
it will be Il success.
In less than ten years from now, the
corn fields of the West will be sup
plying half the nation with sugar.
Corn sugar will be to this country
what beet sugar is to Franee-a bless
ing to the people at large, -Daren-

Mr.. Greeley has recently written
somewhat extensively upon hop .cul-
trre. In his essay he calls the En-
peror of Russia's attention to the fact
that Poles are best adapted for the
cultivation of hops. He says of all
kind of hops the German is to be
preferred. The Poles should be stood
out early in the season, so as to be
raady to support the hops when they
spring up from the ground. Music
on the jews harp he also recommends
as beneficial to the cultivation and
development OF hops; but adds that
care should be taken not to plant corn
in the same field, as nothing .retards
the hop crop so fatally as COrns.

Extracts from the Pastoral letter of
His Grace the Archbishop of New Or
leans for the observance of Lent:
As regards the penitential obsery-
ances of Lent, we wish to render them
practicable by allour dioeesians, and
hence, after invoking the Holy Name
OF God, we have ordained and do or
ordain such as are hereinafter pre-
scribed, Viz:
lowing to the existing pressure
and to the difficulty for most persons
to procure Lenten diet, the use of
meat is again allowed every day ex-
cept Wednesday and Friday, during
Lent. All who fast, should on fast
days eat meat only at one meal but
it may be eaten at every meal by such
as are exempted from fasting.
2.-Every day during Lent, it is
prohibited to use fish and meat at the
same meal.
3-They who deem themselves
reasonably exempted wholly or in
part, from these regulations concern
ing Fasting and Abstinence, should
consult their Pastors or Confessors,
and be governed by their advice.
4.-The time appointed for the per-
Torrance of the Easter duty, begins
on the first Sunday of Lent, and ends
on Trinity Sunday.
5.-The prayer Pro Papa, will be
continued at Mass, and Benediction,
at which the prayer and verse for the
Holy Father are to be subjoined to
those of the Blessed Sacrament.
6.-In every church, there shall be,
as far as possible, a course of suitable
instructions, unfolding the obligations
of Christians, and intoxicating the will
ling practice threof.
1.-THE faithful are directed to at
tend. on such occasions, that they may
not be deprived of the heavenly gra-
ces attached to religious teaching.
8.-The Reverend Pastors, while
apprising their Congregations of the
collection on Easter Sunday for the
Seminary, are directed to dwell on the
Importance of that Institution, and
the bounden duty of the Faithful to
contribute to its support, according to
their means.
And our Pastoral Letter will be
read at the Parochial Mass on Quin-
quagesima Sunday, or on the Sunday
Immediately following its reception.
