4 generation thirty years-at the end OF that
period We should have solved all Of the social

future any possibility Of agraranlsm and

dangers do now threaten us no think

OF tho early history Of some of those who now

A GOOD POINT.

Our neighbor. the Item. makes a neat point
on the abatement Of Mr.. Duncan r. Kenner
before the Committee OF Ways and Means In
Congress-. Mr.. Kenner declares that there
are $50, oOo, 900 worth Of land $50 900 600 worth
OF machinery, etc. invested In sugar In Lou
isiana. yet the Item finds, on looking over the
assessment rolls, that, with the exception OF
nine parishes not yet heard from. and none OF
which Is sugar parish, the total valuation OF
tho parish property In the State Is only $751;
8A1, 45e-about $20.ooO,ooo less than Mr. Ken
ner snys Is Invested In the sugar parishes
alone. II Mr.. Kenner's statement be true.
where ts all this vast property when the as
sessor comes round; and why do we claim
protection In Washington for property upon
which we avoid paying taxes at homer
Your point ls well made, Brother Item

direful plots In Legislation and sees jobs In
the reading of the minutes. Then he pro-
cures a postal-card and, with hts ear softly

General Assembly In one brief but italic SEN
tence. Here Is the latest postal received at
the DEMOCRAT office:

The statement made the other day that

considerable sensation In Virginia, and in
educed reporter Of the Herald to wait on
the Senator to get his political views, espe-
0hally on the presidential question. The San
atgr emphatically denied the words placed ia
his mouth. and declared that there was not
the highest chance for the Republican party
In Virginia. If. however. q Bourbon Demo-

If the irregular procession of children
schoolward bound, which one meets on the
streets, all wore shining morning faces, :"
what bright and happy throng it would be !.
But some little ones we meet with traces of
tears on their faces and grief looking out un-
timely from the childish eyes whose birth

tasks of the school-room Whose mothers
forget that cupful is as full as a brimming
bucket, and that childish sorrows or disap-
pontments are not small to those who have
them to bear. How poorly those parents dis
charge their duties who send out their chill
Gren for the day unhappy! Could they know
lor one hour the desolation of the homes from
which the children have gone forth for the
last time, by reason of the epidemics which
nave wrought such havoc in many neighbor-
moods last spring. how patient, how watch

our tenderness that we regret" says George
Elliot, in speaking of those who have gone
beyond our loving or our chiding. No, it is
not our patience that comes back to mingle
the bitterness of unavailing regrets with our
sorrow. Homes photograph themselves on

Rect SuRaF.

A number of experiments have been made
ID this country from time to time in raising
beet-root sugar, but generally on a small
scale, and without any continuous energy.
There seems to be no reason whv we cannot
make any quantity of sugar of this kind. and
1t is not unlikely that we shall vet make il
as well and as abundantly as they do in
France. The sugar got from beets is similar
10 that from cane; but it contains much less
saccharlne matter, the proportion between
the two being usually 10 to 49, About the
middle of the last century Marggraff, Ber-
lin apotheeary, called attention to the sugar
contained in the beet: but Achard. the Prus-
sian chemist, was the first person really sue
cesstul in extracting it. But as only two or
three per cent. of sugar could be obtained, the
process did not pay until Napoleon L raised
the price and introduced improved methods.
After the downfall of the Emperor protective
duties Kept the manufactory live in France.
When the manufacturers were enabled to get
hVe pounds of sugar from 100 pounds of beet.
the industry revived-this was about 1899
in France and Belgium, and extended as far
as Russia. 1t is now largely imported from
the Continent, and is mixed by refiners with
cane sugar, without which the best loaf sugar
cannot be produced. The imports into Great
Britain from the Continent in 1875 amounted
to 24O, 600 tons. In France the increase has
been so rapid that in 1928 the product
reached 41S,OO0 tons. 1t is estimated that
there are now in all countries some 800 beet
sugar factories A good yield is 20 tons of
root per acre, and one ton of sugar from 10
of root. The civil war interrupted our man.
(began in 1869, which now prom
ises to be revived. Experiments of very
promising kind have been made in Maine.
and in California the bushes is carried on with

'feW people appreciate the fact that, as Dol
