savannahians to See the Two Great
Shows Combined.
Forepaugh & Sells big shows will be
here to-day. The show left Augusta last
night and will arrive early this morning.
Those who have ever seen Forepaugh's
circus and Sells Bros. shows before they
were consolidated may know what to ex-
pect in the consolidation. When the con-
solidation was made in New York, this
announcement was made:
lone of the biggest deals ever made
among circus people has been completed.
1t consolidates the great Adam Forepaugh
shows with Sells Brothers enormous rail-
road shows. AS Mr. Bailey is now en-
tire owner of the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth' and joint owner
of the Buffalo Bill Wild West show, he
brings into alliance the three biggest show
enterprises in the world. Under the new
arrangement all the cars, cag&, horses
and the menageries, material and para
phernalia of the Forepaugh show Will be
added to the already big show of the
Sells Brothers"
This is the combination which will be
seen in Savannah to-day The personality

sures the highest character, integrity and
freedom from all demoralizing and OBJ
jectionable associations, while the wealth

very greatest shows In the world united,

The menageries, circuses and hippo

complete and inviting ever combined and
contain many exceedingly rare beasts and
surprising performances nowhere else to

Citizen: A sensation at the meeting of the
Young Mems Democratic Club Wednesday
night resulted in the expulsion of w. F.
Stovall, editor of the Tribune, from men,
bership in the club. Mr. Stovall, with a
number of other gentlemen, was elected
an honorary member of the organization
some time ago. The action of the club
last night was based on an editorial that
appeared in the Tribune few days after
the late election, in which the democratic
platform was repudiated and denounced as
anarchistic. The editorial created great
stir locally The result was a red-hot
controversy with another local paper, and
for a time it looked as if there would be a
call for pistols and surgeons. Editor
Stovall saw that he had brought down a
hornets nest around his head and he
wrote personal card apologizing for the
editorial and making an explanation. He
stated that the article was written by an
editorial writer who had misunderstood his
instructions. In a day or two this gentle
man published a card stating that he did
it, but justified himself by explaining that
from his instructions he thought that he
was voicing the sentiments of the paper
This explanation eliminated in the demo-
cratic camp last night in a resolution ex-
polling Mr.. Stovall from the organization
His friends objected and a resolution of
censure was substituted, but the club voted
it down and passed the resolution eXpell-
ing him from membership. His friends in
the meeting worked to keep the resolution
from going through but the majority of
the members present decided in favor of it

WYOMING, WISCONSIN, June 9th, 1896.
DR.. Williams Ned. Co., SCHENECTADY, ". Y
Gentlemen Replying to your favor OF
recent date, called on Mrs. Jane Culver,
of Wyoming, Wis, yesterday. 1 had heard
much about her case before / went TO see
her. She has so long been regarded by her
family and all her neighbors as hopeless
invalid that her present state of health is
nothing less than marvel in this (WyOm-
ing valley.
For more than a year past, and up to the
month of March last Mrs. Culver had lain
actually at the point of death. Her neigh
bors and friends expected daily to be called
upon to perform the "last sad offices " for
her, and when they learned that she had
actually arisen from her bed and could sit
up" it was felt that little less than resur-
rection had happened in their midst.
Yet imagine the establishment when a
week or two later it was announced in the
valley" that she could a0dlk, and when
she was, at last, really able to meet and
shake hands with friends in the door, yard,
or upon the street, it was felt that truly a
miracle had been wrought in their midst
found Mrs. Culver, pleasant faced, at
traetive little woman, about her household
work when l called on June 9Th. She was,
in fact, picking over gooseberries, and her
first remark after greeting was that in all her
fifty-eight years she could not recall so
"early a season for fruit and garden stuff
as the present. She talked freely of her long,
sad illness-the dreary track of pain and
weakness over which for twenty years her
body had been racAed, and told with evident
happiness of her wonderful cure "The truth
is, she said, ~ was dead and am alive
again" And there was no lack of enthusiasm
in her voice as she spoke of the sovereign
remedy which had wrought such wonder
work for her. She was surrounded by the
members other family, her husband daughter
and grandchildren. and Pink Pills was GER
tainly the burden of their happy converse
ton during my visit.
But her cure, after all, is best summed up
in her own simple and succinct statement
which she made in the hope of doing good
to others.
Mrs. Culver is a woman Of education and
refinement. Her husband wAs postmaster
At Wyoming during President Garrison's
administration. Among those of their
neighbors who can further attest the facts in
aer case are the present postmaster and his
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Dunstan. Mr..
and Mrs G. W. Parks, Mr. and Mrs Scion
Knickerbocker and scores of others living
here in the town and valley of Wyoming.
P. ST. must confess that had an idea
thatpatent medicine testimonials were mostly
fakes, manufactured in the good -humored
spirit of humbuggery which delights the
world at large. In this case which have
looked up myself have found at the first
trial a cure so astonishing that have been

Fernandina, Fla, Nov 13.-The work of

who will naturally argue that a port
worthy of such an immense outlay Of
money must possess something to back It

That the port of Fernandina now pos

demonstrated last week. when the steam

LET US RAISE OUR OWN SUGAR.


An article recently Published in the
Washington Post, proposing that this
country should raise its own sugar, is
attracting a great deal Of attention,
and is everywhere approved and snp-
ported. The Atlanta Journal comments
us follows on the Posts propositions:
"The Washington Post, which
knows about other things than poll
tics, is of the opiuion that tho people
Of this country can rinse all the sugar
they need. At present they produce
only a small part Of it, but the success
Of the beet sugar industry IN several
STATES indicates that it could he en-
larged so as to meet the entire dom este
demand for sugar.
"The consumption Of sugar in this
country during the year 1892, the last
year for which the figures are obtain
able, was,4,62 900 600 pound. AT the
low price Of four cents a poaud tllis
quantity Of sugar would be worth more
than Sl75.000 900, or considerably
moreathan One-half Of the cotton crop.
"rhe American AgriculturisL has
reports from various SOURCES showing
that great progress has been made in
the manufacture Of beet sugar in the
United States. One of the ~Spreckles
factories at jacksonville. Cal, will
pay out for beetS ard labor this year
not less than $75O,00O. During the
past eight years it has disbursed over
$3, 600, 900 on the same account, or on
an average of $1,000 per day since it
started work, and has protected the
whole section from distress during the
hard times.' 1t is stated that this
year the mill will handle not less than
10000 tons OF beets, and it will he

fed at the creamery, mostly with beet
pulp aud 7l26 tons Of sugar were
turned out as the product Of about
four months work.
1.-THE beet sugar industry is by no
means confised to the Pacific slope.
In the little town of Levi, Utah, there
is a factory which paid $37 600 for
heets in a single month last year. UP
to Oct. IA, the Glory had received
10000 tons of heets, had worked up
IL 900 tons, 'andhal made II, 900 sacks
OF refined sugar. The local paper
states that32U0 acres have been planted
in beets this year; that to raise,
harvest and deliver them costs $50 an
acre; that the average crop this season
is Is tons per acre, which at 81 a ton
brings $50 an acre, and. therefore,
means $50 clear prstit per acre to the
farnier.' On the whole acreage planted
this means that 800 900 clear profit
will be distributed among the farmers

A thorough trial ofthe Law known as
the Labor Contract Law" has convinced
many that the law is iii a measure unjnst
as it does not place the town merchant
on an equal footing with those sugar
planters who stores. 1t discriminates
against the town merchant forcing him
to take chances when he gives credit
that the planter who owns q plantation
store is protected against. Therefore it is
nothing more nor less than class legisla-
tion and should lie repealed when the
Legislature meets.
The intention of the law is to protect
the planter from professional dead beats
and contract jumpers-to keep a laborer
who runs in debt to the plantation
on the plantation until the debt
is paid. A person can be arrested
and imprisoned for violating a labor
contract, for refusing to pay the pianta-
tiou a debt, while there is no law to pro-
tect the town merchant who gives credit.
A debt is a debt. The plantation merchant
who gives credit takes no more chances
or runs no more risk than the town mer-
chant who gives credit, aud consequently
it is unjust and unconstitutional to grant
privileges to the planter that the town
merchant cannot enjoy.
The advocates Of the law claim that
often the planters advance supplies or
money to laborers who are in destitute
circumstances, that in doing so they are
often prompted by a spirit of charity aud
that it is nothing more than right for the
recipient Of these favors to be compelled
to stay on the plantation until the debt
contracted is paid,
Such argument might hold good were
it not for the fact that Che constitution
of the United States forbids the arrest
and imprisonment of any one for debt,
aud for the further fact that the town
merchant has the same class of individ-
uals to deal with and is prompted by the
same spirit of charity to give credit to.
the destitute, and yet has not the same
recourse against the debtor that the
planter has,
The law cannot be defended On the
ground that the laborer who runs in debt
to the planter and leaves the plantation
without paying the debt is guilty of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses, for
ifsuch were the case the man who would
buy goods from a town merchant promis
ing to pay at a certain time and not do
ing so, would be just as guilty Of obtain
ing money under false p~retenses as the
laborer who ran in debt to the planter.
What is sauce for the goose, is or should
Dey sauce Tor the gander.
When man gives credit, he must to
some extent trust the individual he gives
credit to. He must to some extent run
a risk, and take the chances of ordinary,
Legitimate business. The..planter takes
no more chances when he gives credit
then the town merchant who gives credit
and.THE COURIER submits that the law
known as the f'labor contract law''grants
to The planter special privileges that
place him on a better credit Nottingham
the town merchant, It unjustly discrim-
mates against the town merchant and
for this reason The COURIER calls for its
repeal.
