A COMPANY Of capitalists is preparing
to erect and operate sugar beet factory
at Low Point, Duchess county, on the
the Hudson. The projectors were form
erly engaged in like enterprise in Cuba.
The farmers of Duchess county and
along the valley Of the Hudson generally
are requested by the projectors to state
how many acres of land they intend to
plant with beets. Should sufficient
acreage be secured the factory will be
erected Immediately. 1t is claimed that
the farmers can make more money cul-
tiyating beets than by raising grain and
other produce. The factory proposes
topay S4 ton for beets, the crop to be
grown from seed furnished by the COM
pany. The pulp, which averages about
twenty per cent. Of the weight of the
beots, will be returned to the farmers.
The pulp, it is claimed, is among the best
food for cows and other stock.

Chattanooga has been talking of build

Col. Morris, one of the chief civil en-
ginecrs Of the n. IS c. X. II, in CONVEX
sation with Il Times reporter last night,
saws that the statement in m interview
with Il prominent citizen of Atlanta,
published in the Timesa few days ago,
that Il railroad from Ducktown to Chat
tanooga cannot be built, is entirely in
correct. lie thInks.that it would be
perfectly practicable to build such a
road, and it would not he very expen-
sive. lie made a preliminary survey
for Il roadsA between .Ducktown and
Cleveland, Tenn, and even located the
line, and finds that the road between
those points can be built us cheap as
railroads in general. lie has no doubt
that a line beyond Ducktown could~be
built without much difficulty, and
would be the nearest line from Chatta-
nooga to the coast.

An Interesting BOND suit.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A very
important bill has been filed in
the Supreme Court to day-the
State of New Hampshire coming
into court by an attorney and
praying an injunction against the
State officers of Louisiana, asking
that they be enjoined rom pay
ing out certain moneys in the
State Treasury, for any other pur-
pose than the payment ofinterest
on the State debt. 1t seems hat
New Hampshire owns Louisiana
bonds to the amount of 100000
or more, upon which Louisiana
has defaulted repeatedly in pay.
ment of interest. The bill of
complaint charges that the debt
is a contract, and that Louisiana
can not violate this contract, and
that the money collected to pay
interest on the debt must be ap-
piled to that specific purpose.
This is the first time that Il State
has brought suit against another
State for breach of contract in
nOn-payment of debt.
1.-THE court decides to grant
the subpoenas asked for against
the State officers of Louisiana
they will be made returnable in
sixty days. The next step will
then be the prayer for an iniunc-
ton against the Louisiana State
officers forbidding them to dis
pose of, in any manner, the funds
which have been collected on ac-
count of the tax levied to pay the
interest on the defaulted bonds.
These funds, it is alleged by the
bill, now amount to considerably
over 100000. According to the
rule of the court where original
bills are fled, tins motion for an
injunction vii! have precedence,
and may be argued at once.
Should this suit be prosecuted to
successful termination, it will
be the precursor Of similar suits
to be brought for the suffering
bondholders against Tennessee
and Virginia.

A Good Word for East Tennesse

~OOu hUh e<saSt CAhhNonS
Lansing Mich Republican: In
the Tennessee Legislature a bold
fight was made by the Republi-
can members in support Of the
State credit. They spoke and yo-
ted strongly against all schemes
of reputation. Those Tennessee
Republicans are sterling, free
dom-lOving, Union men, mostly
from the mountainous regions Of
East Tennessee, which was little
blighted by the curse of slavery.
They were Wings during revolu-
ton, and won the battle of Kings
Mountain with their rifles; and
they were Wings Of the period
before the rebellion, voting,
against Polk and beating him in
his own State for President in
1914. The slave-holding aristoc-
racy always hated and despised
them, bnt could not conquer their
soil or crush their manhood.rSNo
portion of the Confederate States
would be more inviting to North
ern people nor would they any
where receive more friendly
treatment than in East TenneS
see.
