Another Lie Rounded Up.

AS there have been false reports circu.
lated over this county in regard to F.
w. Hickox being pauper and not
owning any property and paying nc
tax in the county and being supported
by his brother.
LIST. We know he owns property in
this county and pays taxes on the same.
End. We know he has not received 81
from his brother or any other person
towards his support OF any other pur-
pose for four years; that he has made
his own support like other farmers in
the county.

we don't lie; but the man circulating
the reports to the contrary does lie.

Sugar Mill Notes.

Another car load of sugar was
shipped on last Saturday, making eight
cars shipped ont up to this time.
There were 800 bags of sugar on hand
Tuesday morning, ready for inspection,
and every sugar tank, vat and wagon in
the mill was full of syrup, waiting to
go through the centrifugals. The GEN.
trifugals were running at full speed,
and were turning out sugar in great
quantities.
The mill stopped the cutter On Sat-
urday night, on account of the supply
of cane giving out. The rain of Satur-
day night and Sunday made the ground
soft, and no cane was brought in Sun
day, and but little on Monday. AS the
ground dries out the supply increases.
Two weeks more will exhaust the en-
tire cane crop.
A car load of syrup was shipped OH
the 7th, and one the 10th and one the
18th.
The beets are growing nicely, and
will make paying crop. They will
probably be ready for the mill by the
time the mill is ready for them. 1t will
take twenty days to run all the cane
through, and to clean up the syrup.
A. Hada, living four miles west of
town will make over $500, on 80 acres
of ground, this year, raising sorghum
cane.
By making judlcious selections of
seed, and by frequent analyses of cane
Mr., McCracken claims that the per cent.
of sugar is largely increased. He says
that if the cane were stripped clean of
all leaves before it was weighed, it
would show that our mill Is making
more sugar per ton of cane than the
Louisiana cane makes per ton. He
says sorghum now produces the larg-
est per cent. of any plant in the world,
and is steadyiIy growing better.

WArERviLLE. Nov. 2s.-There was a
good Attendance a: the meeting of the W.
WcmsEs Christian Temperance League in
the Baptist vestry this afternoon. A great
deal OF interest nov ce nters about the do
Jugs cf this league, not only on the part Of
temperance people, but also those who are
engaged in the Illegal traac of liquor. The
president spoke Of the many causes
for thankfulness which they had
and then they proceeded to the
business in hand. That their action
was of practical nature i, shown by the
fact tina. ladies' Sparks, Bates and Carpen-
ter were appointed TO visit one OF the hotels
and report made of the result Of visit TO a
restaurant where more or less intoxicating
liquor is handled. They reported that the
proprietor denied selling anything but beer,
and that ne promised to sell no more of
ths. to young men and railroad men
and would be careful TO what citizens he
sold. One Of the speakers referred TO a
report that 2t one Of the leading hotels of
the plsee, The promise was given that no
more liquor would be sold TO young men,
and also that man had to be very well
knosn to ge. it there or at the restaurant
referred to. The Presilept also remarked
that the local papers had all set aside
space for the rse Of the league, in which
TO air their theories and work. She
dill not think that the city fathers and soma
others like 10 see these items floating about.
The canvsssers reported that they had z ,ne
over Wards 3 and 4, meet g with very
good success, ard that Wsrd would soon
be canvassei.
II was suggested that it would be well
for the ladies to look out for the destitute
during the long winter. The Presiden.
wss also of the opinion that it would be
coed thing TO hold occasional meetings
in the evening to which all friends
Of temperance, ladies and gentlemen could
be invited to partsse of Refreshments, and
such a meeting will be held next WeiDes-
day evening in the Baptist vestry, commenc.
ing at I 80 The announcement that Mr..
Chase, agent Of City Hall. made no charge
for the use Of that place for the mass meet
ing. saying that it was public matter, in
which the entire community was interested,
