A SHORTAGE OF SUGAR.
with Other Distributing Centres, Burl-
ington Feels Its EfectsI

People naturally feel n certain degree of
adherence Of great monopoles, but there are
two so-caled trusts in this country which
are, supposedly at least, beneficial TO
the people. These are the Standard Oil
company and the American Sugar Refining
company. In either of these monopoliZed
industries competition is not the life of the
trade, yet the companies keep the prices of
the different grades of each product at n
very reasonable figure. For the past few
weeks there has been n sugar "famine" MS
the whosesae grocers like to term il
During this time prices have not materially
changed, still the scarcity of this necessary
of life continues. Retail grocerS are max
ing strong demands ON the wholesale dealers
for supplies of sugar without avail. Sales
men are instructed to take orders with the
explicit understanding that they are for
future delivery, which is to he made as soon
as possible. The shortage is probably the re
suit of the shutting down Of the refineiies
some two months ago.
Heavy orders always follow the dvent of
thefruit-coming season wherever the industry
is carried on The retineries started up al
once but the demand was greater than the
productive capacity, hence the scarcity It
is very evident that the sugar famine will
not continue much longer as the rcfineres
are running day and night and the rush of
the canning season will soon be over.
y good fruit season increases the cOnsump-
ton of sugar in this vicinity nearly one-half.
Consequently a similar increase in trade in
the fruit growing States can but have an
appreciate effect upon the supply at hand.
The reply to recent congressional rcSou-
tion shows that there has been notable in
crease of American production since the

The loss will be about $500 The recurrence

Birth Rate In the United States.

DR.. John s. Billings, in the Forum, finds in q
comparison between the birth rate of 1880 and
that of 1890 that there was diminution of
births in the latter decade in the United States.
The statistics On this subject. as reported by in
dividual States and Territories, show that the
birth rate has diminished in all of them, except
in Arizona, Colorado. and New Mexico. The
greatest decrease occurs in the Southern States
aud the least in the Northeastern States, the
apparent diminution in birth rate being great.
est where there is the greatest proportion of
colored population and where the enumeration
is most likely to be defective. The birth rate
in the Southern States fell on an average from
3608 per 200 in 1880 to % 80 per 900 whites in
1885, and the cOored rate from IS. 80 to 1922 per
1000. OF the proportion of children under one
year of age the lowest number to the 1000 of
population was in Massachusetts, and the high
est in the Southern and Western States. All
the State censuses from 1860 to 1890 indicate
progressive diminution in the number of
children. DR.. Billings ascribes the most i'm
portant factor in diminishing the birth rate in
the United States to the voluntary Limitation Of
the number of children in household, either
that better provision may be made for the few
or for the more selfish motive of avoiding cara
and trouble and having more to spend on social
uleasures

received to get ready to move, as the United
States Government had consented to receive
us, and we were to be sent to Vicksburg for
parole. We had but little faith, but suffice
it to say that this time it really proved to
be trip to our lines. However, only about
half. of the camp were sent away at this
time, as the railroad was cut by our forces,
and the remainder were obliged to stay at
Andersonville until April %, 1865, when
they were shipped to Jacksonville, Fla,
whence they were paroled.
1t was the writer's fortune to go with the
first crowd. Our route was almost a straight
line from Andersonville to Vicksburg. The
journey was of about two weeks duration.
During our trip across the country we were
confined for short periods in many different
prisons, jailyards, and stockades.
The inhabitants of the towns through
which we passed showed different spirit
toward us than those we had come in con-
tact when first taken prisoners. They SEEM
ed to think Yankee was worthy of little
consideration, even as prisoner.
When we arrived at Jackson, Miss, all re-
straint was removed, and most of the guards
relieved. A company of Texas cavalry ac-
companied us the rest of the way, more as
guides than guards. From here to Big Black
River we were obliged to walk.

GEORGIA PENSIONERS.
Annual Pay Day at Atlanta-The Widows
ard Orphans.

ard Orphans.
ATLANTA, GA, March 16.-The State capital
was crowded by Confederate veterans who had
come to collect the pension which the State of
Georgia annually pays to those of her sons who
were wounded inI the service of tho State as
soldiers in the Confederate army. There are
$500 names on this spepsion-roll. .and the amount
paid to them was 1892, 900. This pension from
a small amount at first voted to aid some sol.
ders who were in danger of the poorhouse, has
steadily grown until now it has reached the
sum stated. The pension is made up of CON-
mutations Of the price farms and legs etc.,
which have been vated to such as were disabled
In the Confederate service. 1t ia made up an
nually by declaring that these articles need to
be renewed that often. The pension list of
Georgia now reaches quite a respectable figure.
The payment of the veterans was supposed to
end the calls made upon the State; when, how
ever the State Legislature three years ago
voted down the acceptance of tho soldiers home
they brought down upon their heads such a
storm of censure that they felt they would
have to do something to modify it, They did
not want to retreat from the proposition in
regard the home. but met it by the enactment
that all widows of veterans should receive an
nuaily the sum of $780, When the census was
taken it was found that it would take $3.50. 900
TO pay the bill. This ran the pension roll up
70 over 5000, 600. at which figure it now stands.

every morning. Their number, name, COM
pany. and regiment were recorded in book
kept by paroled prisoner at the gate. The
bodies were thrown into the ration-wagon
and drawn to the burying-ground. Trenches
ueven feet wide, four feet deep, and about
100 feet long were dug by prisoners paroled
for that purpose. The bodies were laid IN
this trench side by side, or as nearly so as
the cramped and crooked corpses would per-
nit. Stakes with numbers painted on them
corresponding to the one on the body, and
also TO the number recorded in the book
kept at the gate, were driven into the ground
at the b, ad of each dead prisoner.
By this arrangement the names, company,
regiment and location of 1878 prisoners
buried at Andersonville are supposed to be
known. The total number of deaths was
1874. leaving 921 unknown. l understand
that no record was kept at Salisbury, n C.,
as there are 1902 unknown dead at that
National Cemetery.
The greatest number confined at Ander-
sonville at any one time was about 35,00o
in August 1864 The daily average deaths
during that month was about 100. The
greatest number on any one day was said to
be $50. There were in the stockade during
the Winter of 1864 and 1865 somewhere in
the neigh borhood of 5000 prisoners. The
numbers on the stakes in the graveyard
Sept. IS ran up TO 9,134, and in April, at the
close Of the war, the last number was 1874;
showing mortality of one in every two.
Very few new prisoners came during the
months of January and February, 1865. We
knew nothing of how the war progressed,
but from the general actions of the rebs we
were inclined to think that the Confederacy
was In a
WORSE SHAPE
than they would have us believe. The
guards did not seem to have that respect Tor
their cause" that they had heretofore
shown. One fellow especially, that had his
post near where our quarters were, would,
in calling the hours of the night, sing out:
Post No. 81; 10 o'clock and all's well, and
old JEFF he is going to hell" 1t seemed to
Us that he was long time about it.

easily embroidered, and one could be easily
substituted for this. The leaves are worked in
pale green's as nearly like the nasturtium-leaf
color as possible, with darker color for the
stems and bud sepals. These white linen
table-cloths for little square round tables
are about the prettiess things when en-
broidered that are shown in the art needle
work establishments The design can be per-
fectly graceful, and smooth, satiny stitches
show off TO the best advantage on the fine, firm
linen. And as the table cloths can be washed
and come out looking dainty and fresh, they
are profitable. Wild roses, violets or forget
me-nots make pretty designs. In the cover
shown the design is nlassed in the corner with
struggling leaves and blossoms at the sides.
