A Sugar Boiling.

cane field, his drove Of hogs and potato
patch. There is nothing romatic about
the hogs or potatoes but making up the
strip is the social event of the year.
The neighbors an relatives are invited
to "come and chew cane, drink juice
and eat scum," and they generally &C
cept the invitation.
One Of the pecullari les of tho South
is the liking every one seems to have
for cane in the stalk. AS the season ad-
vances when the can. natures, the
stores all have supply of cane stalks
for sale, the usual price being two stalks
for nlckle. Young and old alike enjoy
'chewing cane" to degree that is
marvellous. It is quite as popular as
candy, and more sought after than Or
anges.
We accepted an invitation to witness
sugar boiling recently at Mr.. Jerry
Cartoons, four miles southeast of Ar
.cadia, and were much interested in the
various processes that are necessary be-
fore the finished product is put away
for the years use.
The next years seed is already planted
1t consists Of lengths Of ripened cane
planted in rows, being first stripped and
cut in pieces of about two feet in length.
The cane makes slow growth during
the winter and spring, but shoves dur
lag the summer and fall, attainsa height
Of from seven to II feet, when it is
stripped, topped and carried to the
mill.
The cane mills are mostly primitive
two roller varieties. though more mod
ern mills are coming into use where
larger acreage is planted to cane. The
.o1g wooden sweep is kept circ!ing
around by slow-walking horse or mule
that does the grinding, while the boy
stuffs two or three stalks of cane between
the rollers and watches that the barrel
beside him does not overflow. The Juice
is strained through coffee sacking that
covers the barrel, and when a barrel is
filed it is emptied into big round iron
kettle that is built about with furnace
and a chimney. The kettle 1T Mr..
Cartoons holds about sixty gallons, aud
the sixty gallons of juice when boiled to
strip will be between ten and eleven
gallons. If cooked bit too long it is
likely to granulate, and if not cooked
enough, to work when hot weather comes
next summer, so the expert knows to a
nicely when the strip is just right.
There is some difficulty in keeping
the strip until the next years crop is
made up. 1t Is claimed that while new
cypress barrels do very well the first
year, the next season or any time there
after the wood impregnates the strip
with taste that is Objectionable. To
obviate this various methods are res
orted to. Sometimes the strip is bottled
as it comes from the kettle, corked tight
and thus keeps well the year through.
MaSon's fruit jars are used also to can
the strip, the tops being screwed on as
if for fruit. Jugs and tin cans are also
used. One of our friends ordered fifty
five gallon tin cans for his strip this
year, and finds that q convenient and
desirable way to dispose of his sIrup, as
his is mace for sale and each filed can

Anti-Cigarette League.
A few weeks ago the boys OF Sioux
Falls organized An anti-cigarettee league.
Sixty-two boys under sixteen years OF
age signed the pledge the first evening,
promising to abstain from the use Of Gig
~arettes until they are twenty-one years
of age, and to use all honorable means
to induce their comrades to do the came.
The membership has now increased to
over "A hundred.
The city council OF Lincoln, Neb., has
passed an ordinance that boys under
eighteen years OF age using cigars, Gig
~arettes, or tobacco, on the streets should
be arrested without a warrant and be
fined to an amount not to exceed TWEEN
ty-ive dollars.
An English woman who visited this
country being asked her impression of
America. replied that what surprised
her the most was the fact that here
pretty and we'll dressed girls and even
women chewed tobacco as much If not
more than the men did. The English
woman was again surprised on learning
years afterward that it was not tobacco,
but gum that so many American girls
chewed.
Miss Willard says: Il have studied
much upon this tobacco problem, and
cannot conceive why such u scourge mas
been permitted in the most advanced
nations OF the world unless it is for the
purpose OF holding one-half the race
back, while the other half comes for
ward to it's rightful place. This at least
is certain: whether they are athletes or
dents or statesmen, youths or maidens,
the class that does not use tobacco will
come out ahead. It is the testimony of
science, which cannot lie If it would,
and would not If it could"
A certain grocer who had a commend
able pride in keeping his store clean,
became one day very angry because a
man to whom be had just sold some to-.
bacco, sat down and began to chew and
then to spit upon the nicely polished
stove. AS soon as the offending Gus
toner had left the store, the irate mer-
chant in no gentle terms expressed his
opinion OF such untidiness. The gentle
nan to whom he was speaking replied.
at seems to me that q man who sells to-
bacco ought to expect just such annoy
auces, and that be should not complain
when SO many innocent persons are
obliged to suffer from breathing tobacco
laden air, and must walk along streets
and floors IN public places made foul by
tobacco juice"
IL Iowa a bill prohibiting the sale Of
cigarettes on any pretext to any person,

A housekeeper, not a thousand miles

ploy the services of a workman a few
days during housekeeping time, was 80
unfortunate as to engage n who,
worked with a pipe in his mouth the

CO, made the lady sick 80 that she was
not able to go on with the work that she
wished very much to accomplish.

The Echo From Georgia.

Atlanta, Oct. Sin response to an in
quirv from the Journal, Senator T. k.
Jones, Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, wired as follows:
"Georgia's election means a solid South
as we'll as a solid West for Bryan in No
vember. Considering the fact that the
Georgia Democracy had arrayed against
it the united strength of Administration,
Republicans, Populists and Prohibition
lists, a majority of 10000 would have been
regarded as a good victory. From the re
turns so far received it appears that we
have double that gain. | consider the re
suit as assuring Mr.. Bryan a majority of
not less than 10000 or 10000 in Novem-
Der. 1t shows that the people are with us
and that they cannot be diverted by sub
ordinate issues, whether of local or national
interest. | am more confident that Mr..
Bryan will not only carry every Southern
State, but also every state West of the
Mississippi river, as well as a large major
ity of the Central Western States, insur-
ing him an over whelming majority. -

Purity OF Election Laws.

The Enterprise has this to say regard
ing the Purity of Election Laws;
The law is operating in d measure as an
anti-treat law, for after a candidate pays
for printing, advertising, carriages, etc, he
will not be able TO do a great deal of cir
culating among the dear people"
As far as the public is concerned, the
operation of the new law is apparent in
the absence of brass bands, public meet
ings, bonfires and the general fireworks OF
the campaign. General satisfaction with
the law as a whole is expressed by the
voting public, as it gives men a chance to
seek office on their merits and regardless
of the money behind them.
