THE OFFER OF A NEW INDUSTRY.
The meeting in Staunton Of the County
Farmers Alliance last Friday, was one of
the most practically important that it has
held and the address and offer made there
by Mr.. o. K. Lapham, if seconded by our
farmers, may prove the means of furnish
ing to our people new and profitable in
dustry. The points in Mr.. Lapham's offer
may be summed up as follows:
He offers to build and start
beet sugar factory of the capacity Of $50
to $50 tons OF beets day, provided the far
mers of Augusta plant 800 acres OF more
of beets so as to give him the product to
work on.
2.-He will himself furnish the seeds for
the beets and the fertilizer for the land and
take his pay in beets after they are raised.
3.-He will pay the market price, gener-
ally averaging from 81 to so pei ton for
the beets, which with the average yield of
Is tons to the acre would be $50 an acre to
the farmer.
Ale will lease some of their land at a

to give them confidence, and
She is ready for the work whenever
the farmers have done their part of it.
Mr.. Lapham, as we may say to those in the
county who do not know him, has been for
years the head of the profitable Tannic Acid
works here, OF the Bark works as they are
known among the people. He is from Chi
cago, a gentleman of enterprise, of culture
and of the highest standing, and has
control of capital sufficient for any enter
prise he may engage in. In his address and
answers to the members Of the Alliance, he
showed clearly that there was no chance
for loss on the part Of the farmers by
change of crop, for if they raised beets they
were the best fattenlng food for cattle, and
he gave instances in this locality to verify
it.
We trust that our farmers Will read at
tentively the full report, given elsewhere in
this paper, of what was said at the Ali
ance meeting. 1t is an opportunity Of SUI
preme Importance and should not be neg

Nothing is more hazardous to themselves,
OF more unjust to the community, than for
public men Of reputat ion to lend their
names to matters of which they have not
informed themselves. About two weeks
ago, Treasurer Ostrander of the Savings
Bank Of Kingston, n. Y, was arrested On
the charge of embezzelment and run was
made on the bank. A general, two judges,
the postmaster and the editor of the leading
paper, having been assured to that effect,
signed a statement saying that the surplus
of the bank was $247 600. The people, re-
assured, put their money back in the bank
Last Saturday it turned out that the Treas
urer and his assistant had robbed the insti-
tuition of the enormous sum OF 100000,
that it had no surplus, that 1t was ruined,
and that the depositors would lose all. The
prominent men who had signed the paper
knew nothing of the affairs Of the bank by
examination, and their certificate led to the
loss Of many Thousands to depositors.
