SUGAR BEET IN THE SOUTH.

We have seen a letter from large man.
ufacturer Of beet sugar in Nebraska. to
a gentleman in this city, from which
We have been permitted to make the
following interesting extract:
1.-The subject OF the manufacture or
sugar from beets Is very voluminous
one and the more IL is looked into, the
more interesting il becomes; not only does
IL mean a permanent and rapid enhance
ment in the value of all real estate, es-
pecially farm lands, for many miles sur
rounding a factory but its dement's ar are
felt by every citizen in the State. The
coal mine, the limestone quarry, the
agricultural implement manufacturer the
machine shop. the coke ovens, and the
laborer all derive benefit from II; TO say
nothing Of the fact that the railroads es-
pecially feel it's benefits. This year at our
factory in California. We expect 10 work
up IN sugar about $4,000 tons OF beets.
10000 tons of which will be brought INTO
the factory in cars. The output or sugar
will be about three carloads a day. ana
we shall burn about four carloads OF lime
stone. one carload Of coke, and eight car
loads OF coal every twenty-four hours OF
our run, so you can gather what sucn
business means, remembering that the
after products of each factory is used 10
fatten thousands of head OF cattle. ine
United State is to-day paving out 70
foreign nations something like SlpVOJDp
of which could be made in our own coun-
try, which would mean retaining among
our own citizens this vast amount Of
money"
In this connection we were Informed
that after a careful investigation the Ne
braska sugar beet manufacturers became
satisfied that the land best shifted for
growing the sugar beet in the United
States-that land producing the finest
beets with greatest percentage of sugar
was located in South Carolina. along the
line Of the Columbia and Greenyille rail-
road. This would, indeed. be new and
great industry for our southern farmers.
II the soil is suitable, with our climate
and labor. we could take the lead OF
Nebraska in the production OF sugar beet,
even if she can beat us in coin.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York Sun: We record with genuine
scientific interest the fact that General
Thomas Launcelot Rosser, the great Nir-
gilman spouting geyser. is in perfect
erupting form again. At Richmond. on
Wednesday, he sent into the air a word
stream 200 feet long and two inches broad
and so hot that It fried It's own adjec-
tives Cen. Rosser has taken the contract
for heating the State house next winter
His next exhibition will be in a COM
petition with Eagle. Number Six. Volun-
feer Fire Company Of Alexandria. II
Will be a contest OF wind against water.
Gen. Rosser's friends are confident that
he will win the prize--a silver-gilt SPAN
ner.
New York World; Certainly n great
many newspaper men are In CONTEMPT
of the Senate. As long as the Sugar Trust
is In the saddle no honest man can ex-
showing the greatest possible CONTEMPT
for IL.
Philadelphia Record: Curfously, Senator
Sherman favors tariff revision by a COM
mission of experts. There Is no doubt
that bill prepared by experts with re-
ference TO ascertained facts and without
reference to political considerations would
he better than any that Congressional
committees are likely TO formulate. But
the difficulty lies I'm the fact that after
the commission should have done its work
the result would have 10 be submitted
TO Congress, and then the work OF the
commission would go for nothing. The
commission appointed by President Ar
thur made excellent recommendation FOR
tariff revision, but II was like throwing
pearls before swine to submit them Ia
q Protectionist Congress. II would hardly
be worth while to renew that experiment.

Senate.

only in Richmond. but in all the other
cities OF the league. Those timid ones, who
feared that baseball was practically dead

The death OF this distinguished vir-
ginian. of whom fuller notice will be
found in another column, will carry sor-
row to hundreds OF southern and. indeed,
northern hearts.
Brave and gentle. brilliant and sympa-
thetic. he was both lovaole and loyal to

in depicting the phases Of Virginia life
for forty years past. and If he does not
now live he can never be. It is indispen-
sable TO have known personally the
ancient regime Of Virginia to describe It.
His death creates a void which he alone
could I'LL. both in the literature Of his
State and the hearts OF his friends.

Bismarck's opinion Of his Russian doc
tor, who, he said. annually killed three
thousand patients in his hospital at st.
Petersburg. recalls a story OF John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke.
Mr.. Randolph. upon returning to his
plantation after session in Congress,
was told by his overseer that one Of
his servants had died. Did you send for
a doctor? asked Mr.. Randolph.
'No. sir. 1 just attended to him my

THE VIRGINIA BASEBALL LEAGUE,

The Virginia Baseball League is no
longer an experiment, but an assured sue
cess.
For a number Of years past efforts
were made 10 secure good bali games In
Richmond, but each time with little or no
success and people began 10 think that
Richmond lacked interest In the national
game.
Not so. however, for all We needed
was the right people to take the move
ment In hand. This was done. the league
was formed. with six Virginia cities repre-
scented. and now we have exhibitions al
most daily OF the game well and fairly
played.

 The report that Scott White placed a bill before the board Of supervisors which was cut down Sl 600 is base lie.
