it is needless to say, ample justice was done,
and several after dinner speeches were made,
highly complimentary to the generous fair
hands who had so bounteously provided for
the creature wants of the presbytery.

The Cheapest and Nest P.oAias;e Cot
ton Mil.

In several towns in Arkansas, Tennessee
and and Mississippi as in South Carolina, the
simple process OF making cotton yarns has
been most successfully introduced BY means
Of the Invention known as the Clement at
tacbment. Gotten, by this process, as it
comes from the field uRginned and unpack-
ed, Is converted into thread and sold as such
at twice the current price of Cotton, and it
is a better thread than can be made of COT
ton, which has been Compressed. Cloth
made of this thread will last twice as long
as that produced from cotton which goes
through all the processes incident to its con-
version into thread in Lowell. A building
for this machinery costs 500. and mill
dam and fixtures $500 machinery Sas 900
Such was the cost Of mill at Westminster,
South Carolina. I, IS claimed for this device
which has been in use for years. and is

HONE AND FARM.
The Corn Stalk rs a Sugar Pro-
GnDlns Plant.
Zrn san Antonl, Exnrps..l

=
A revolution seems inpend-
ing in the sugar interest, The
commissioner ofagriculture has
Just issued an elaborate report
of experiments made with COM
mon Indian corn stalks and
sorghum stalks in the u,anufac-
tu.e CT sugar, both by the same
process, and the results were
very favorable to the former.
The conclusions reached are
that the stem of Indian corn, if
taken at TIE proper stage of de-
veiopment, contains in great
abundance 4 saccharine juice
scarcely excelled in richness by
the sugar cane of Louisiana, and
possesses an advantage over the
latter an account gifts adapta-
bility II SO wide a range o: soil
and cheapness of cultivation.
The immature corn plant only
being used for this purpose, the
sugar may be produced within
a little over three months from
the time OF planting the seed.
Hence all danger of frost may
be avoided even in our extreme
northern states, and generally
the ground can be used for pro-
ducing two crops in season.
4 sugar crop, followed by tur-
nips. etc. In these respects. as
well as in many others, these
plants have great advantage
over both the southern cane
and the beet. 1t is estimated
that the yield of sug:r per acre
from single crop will range
from 1000 to 5000 pounds, or
equal to the average from the
sugar cane and the beet at their
best, and at one half the cost.
The total cost of production, in
Guiding the cultivation of the
ground, the harvesting of the
crop, manufacture interest on
machinery employed, chemicals
royalty, cct., should not exceed
IL to 5 cents per pound. and
good quality of sugar should
be made of corn stalks in this
country at less than one-half
the cost ofthe beetsugar manu-
faciure in Europe.
in concluding this brief
summary of the main facts of
this subject. I cannot but ex-
press the surprise which I have
felt during the whole course of
these researches. that during
the century which has elapsed

quate conception has been
reached of the true value of one

THE FOURTH - AIS CELEBRA-
lion.

We used to celebrate the Fourth of
July that young lawyers might have
one day set apart that they might pin
feather for glorious professional i'm
mortality. But somehow the people
grew weary of the forms and empty
ceremonials of these sonorOus splendid
state occasions. In truth the war left
them too poor to spread endless tables
and the supply of elequence and pat
riotism was commonly proportioned to
the length and depth of bitches above
which smoking meats were barbecued.
Those were grand festivals of the
olden me. Freedom reigned in the
parlor and in the kitchen and on
the old plantation the notes of
the fiddle were drawn out to the
longest, latest hours of the night.
1t was holiday IN which people we're
supposed to rejoice because the United
States were freed from the British
domino ton. Nobody in the South re-
grets this emancipation, but while car
pet-Saggers and blacks supplanted the
gentle sway of Victoria. the contrasted
civilization and justice and respecta-
bility of the two systems almost made
the South deplore the event which gave
England and. America two govern
ments. But the carpet-bagger as q
painful fact is no more; Hayes with
drew armies and restored local free
dom; the vices and taxation and cottly
habits of csrpet-bsgism in local govern
ments are rapidly eviscerated; SIM
pie republicanism .supplants crazed
and costly philanthropy, and we
do not see why the whole South,
even though the President WELD the
veto deftly, should not celebrate with
bonffres and illuminstions the nat j
day of the country's freedom. We
learned to love freedom by reading
Jefferson's immortal paper and it
should be read and memonzed by
patriots through all time.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-07-10

IT is very singular but true, Gov.
Garcelon of Maine states, that to the
very extent that alcohol in all its forms
is suppressed, the bibulous, thirsty
psople resort to snuff, chloroform and
opium. No doubt the old topers, men
and women, addicted to whisky, when
the supply is cut IF, accept the substi-
tutes as nerve and brain stimulants,
but the masses will not, and the use Of
these poisons will be less and less as
the old soakers become extinct. Mean
while there are no enticing bar-rooms
to lnveigle the young and unwary to
the doom of myriaus who, in process
siOnal madness, go down to misery,
disgrace and death. ~.

THRY tell us the whipping post is
barbsrous, and yet we have 1000 men,
white and black, with heads half shorn
and striped clothes, with armed guards
men ready to shoot them on the spot,
moving about from place to place
everywhere in Texas. The people are
made accustomed to scenes of harden
ing, corrupting brutality. Vice in its
worst human shapes is mustered before
their eyes. Coarseness of tastes and
inhumanity are generated, and the
penitentiary is thus made to supply
the penitentiary with inmates forever.
Let Us substitute the whip ping post.
