SUGAR Is BOOMING.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. I.-The sugar
trade is booming. The demand continues
quite active and prices rule very strong
with a tendency to still higher figures.
Stocks are being rapidly reduced and the
refineries are making large purchases Of
raw sugar preparatory to resuming opera
tions. The Franklin refinery, which also in
cludes the F. c.. Knight plant, started up
this morning, and will give employment to
nearly two thousand men in both refineries,
while the Spreckles refinery will resume
next week. W. j. McKahan, superintendent
of the w. j. McKahan Sugar Refining Com
pany, the only Independent refining concern
In the country, says: The sugar market is
improving rapidly. We have sold more
sugar since the election than during the
month preceding it. The sales of raw sugar
during the past few days have also been
very heavy. We are now running on about
half time, but hope to be running with the
full force of hands within a few days."

BURGLARS GETTING BOLD.

Adams Drug Store Broken Into and
Robbed Early Yesterday Morning.
The Adams Paint and Drug Company's
drug store, at Congress and Whitaker
streets, was broken into and robbed early
yesterday morning. The robbery was
committed sometime between 10 and
O'Clock
A pane of glass in a window on the
Whitaker street side of the building was
broken ana the robbers crawed iu An
electric light was burning almost in front
OF the window on the inside. and but a few
feet away This the robbers must have
turned OF while they were in the store
and at work.
In the store room at the rear of the
store they took hatCEet and broke omen
the cash drawer in the counter on the
west side of the store. All the cash had
been taken from the drawer except about
40 cents, and a few postage stamps The
only cash kept in the drawer, in fact, was
that from the sale of stamps. The thieves
took the money, but left the stamps.
The cash register was few feet away.
On closing the store the night before the
cash had been taken out, all except Is
cents, and the drawer of the register, as
is the custom, was left partially omen.
The robbers ransacked this. They were
evidently disappointed in not finding more
money, Out they took all there was. A
half dozen or more boxes of fancy soap
were missing from show case, and evi-
IDENTIFY the roboers took these, too. From
all appearances they were fright
ened OF, as other valuable goods within
their reach were not disturbed The safe
in which the cash had been 10 ked the
night before was in the storeroom. There
was nothing to indicate that il had been
touched. The robbers went out through
the st. Julian street door, which they un-
barred and left open. The robbery, al
though bold one and committed while
there were still numbers of people on the
streets and almost before the street cars
had stopped running, was rather a bung-
ling Job. An entire pane of glass in the
window was smashed A paving stone.
with which IL was broken, lay on the side
walk IN front of the window. The rob-
berry was discovered some time after il
was committed, and the window was
temporarily fastened and a watch kept on
the place until morning, when MIR. Hart,
In charge of the store, came down.

PL ANS FOR THE ROADS.
The System as Proposed by County
Engineer Elandford.

County Engineer Blandford's plan for a
system Of county roads in event Of the
bonding Of the county for road improve
ment is for FIVE radial roads, extending
from the city limits to the boundaries Of
the county, with lateral roads built out
from them.
Mai Blanford's idea is, if it is deemed
practicable when the plan is discussed
for adoption to utilize the Meridian road,
the Middle ground road. the OgeeChee
road and the Augusta and Louisville roads
for the PRINCIPAL roads. From these, in
various directions. other roads could be
built, but the five roads mentioned would
form the basis Of the system. A road
would also be necessary for the eastern
or northeastern section OF the county, and
it might be possible 10 secure the Ihun-
derbolt shell road, as with the building of
the Meridian road and other roads eX
tending from 10 the present patronage of
the shell road would be greatly lessened,
and the value Of the property TO the pres
ent owners would be decreased. A road
extending from it in the direction of
Causten's Bluff would have 20 be built.
That, however would be a short road and
could be constructed at a small expense.
The greatest cost would be in the con-
struction of the principal roads extending
TO the limits Of the county. In all, there
would, it is estimated, be in the neigh
borhood of fifty miles of these roads, be-
sides the lateral roads.
The macadam road is recognized as the
best road of to-day. Ma. BlandfOrd is in
favor of macadam for the principal roads,
with perhaps ebert or even well graded
dirt roadways for the lateral roads. The
macadam would furnish a road that
would last for century if the base is
properly constructed. The cost of this
class of roads is, of course, greater than
any other, except perhaps a pavement,
but in the end Mai Blandford is satisfied
that it would be the cheapest.
There is a good deal of interest to know
how the county commissioners stand on
the bond question. Commissioners Car
son and Charlton are known to be in favor
of bonds. Chairman Dale is opposed to
them, and Commissioners Kehoe and
Chaplain have not committed themselves
Mr.. Kehoe, it is understood, favors the
proposition to issue the bonds under GER
tain conditions, one of which is, that the
people in the sections through which the
roads are built subscribe for their share
Of the bonds. The question of the practi-
cability of issuing the bonds at this time
will have an influence with the commits
soiners when it comes to a vote.

TRUCK IN GOOD SHAPE.

It Seriously.

Neither the Rain Nor Heat Affected
It Seriously.
A prominent truck farmer of this
vicinity informed a MORNING NEWS re-
porter yesterday that neither the rains
nor the long continued heated spell had
affected the truck farmers to any extent,
as there is very little in the ground just
now to be either injured or benefited.
They are now waiting for the end of the
heated season, he said, before putting in
their fall crops, when they will put in
about the usual amount of stuff for the
home and northern markets, there being,
in fact, very little planted for the
northern markets in the fall
The farmers have prospect of good
crop of hay, however, and are now wait
ing for the rains to cease in order TO cure
it. A good crop Of hay is expected, though
not as large as last years, as the con-
tInued rains have delayed the gathering
OF the first crop to such an extent as to
make it almost too late to grow a second
crop after the first is taken off The
farmers usually calculate upon two crops
between the spring and fall paintings.
The hay is of the crab grass variety, and
finds ready sale in the city at $40 TO SIP
ton.
An average of two tons to the acre is
considered a fair crop Some of the farm
ers make a fancy crop of bermuda hay,
which is considered very fine variety.
and brings high price anywhere. The
bermuda grass is not grown to any extent,
however, because Of the difficulty of cult
waiting it in connection with other crops.
The bermuda has very tough roots, which
form strong mating over the entire sur
face Of the earth where it is grown, and is
very difficult to eradicate
