There no longer seems to be any doubt
as to whether the sugar beet can be

established the sugar beet may become

sugar beet Mr.. Hartman came from a
part of Germany. where the sugar beet

and Is convinced, after thorough investf-
| CATION, that the, enterprise will prosper
in the section where he proposes to To-
| cate his colony, and the Journal says
| that next year we shall have the result
OF his experience there, which may mean
much for the South. Secretary Wilson,
of the Agricultural Department, believes
that the sugar beet area of this coun-
try Is much greater than that now in
culiiva lion, and believing this, he has
sent out this year to all parts OF the
country, where he thinks the sugar beet
can be raised 90. 900 packages of the seed,
and when the reports come in from those
who have tried to cultivate the beet, the
facts AS to its success or failure as n
general product will be established be-
You'd all question. Secretary Wilson
said 20 n correspondent of the Manufac-

been generally believed that bcets for
sugar purposes could only be grown sue
cessfully in Il belt of country of which
the State of Iowa formed the southern
limit. This claim was based upon the
experience of the German beet growers.
and was due to the fact that in the belt
referred to the conditions of the temper
ature and moisture seemed most favor
able. During the month OF September
when the beet ma tures, It Is necessary TO
sprouting again, and the proportion Of
its smGar-making properties becomes
greatly reduced. Next year we shall
distribute seed throughout the country,
and include all of the southern portion,
even the tdewater sections. From the
results obtained I see no reason why
the culture of the sugar beet cannot be
successfully carried on in the South in
areas large enough to warrant the cp-
Grafton of factories. In Nebraska and
other points in the west these plants are
being operated successfully. "a profit

An area of between $500 ana 1000 acres

The cTtirc country will watch the re-
attemp; to make the cultivation of the
sugar beet general. and if successful it
will mean more than can now be csti-
mated TO the South.

The New York Dry Goods Economist
takes the position that 1t is a mistake
for the Southern people 10 erect small
mills, and adds that cotton mill build

that II is impossible for small mill
to operate as chcaply as large mill,

small mills to contend with is the high

WORDEN BALKED.
His Plan to Escape With Other Con-
viCtS Discovered.

The report comes from Folsom that
Salter ID. Worden, condemned to die
for train Wrecking; and who has been
apparently resigned to his fate. had a
card in reserve and did not propose
to stay and take chances of paying the
penalty of his deed, and that moreover.
he had associated himself with some
Of the worst convicts in the prison to
make their escape and. if necessary
kill some of the guards in order to do
so.
For some time desperate convicts
have been breaking rules of the prison
and contriving to be sent to the dun
geons for punishment, until a collection
of the most desperate convicts had
been gathered there, including James
Morton, who escaped and was recap-
tured in Denver; Robert Kelly. who
murdered a fellow convict in San Omen
tin and was sent to Folsom for life.
William Preskie, who witnessed tbe
murder but refused to testify against
Kelly; Wilson, who jumped from the
train IN this city while being sent to
Folsom; Chris Menkle, a three terner
and others.
The fact that these men had been
guilty OF lnfractions of rules that in
sured their imprisonment in the dun
geons, in a short space of time. arous-
ed suspicion in the officiels and thev
watched them. Morton was found TO
be cutting through the cement floor of
his cell with drills and a letter from
Preskie to him was found. in which the
plan of escape was detailed. Arms
mad been secreted on the grounds by
confederate outside and were TO he
brought by certain convicts to a. refuse
barrel near the dungeons. Morton was
to cut his way out and release the 9TH
ers, when they would secure the arms.
The men We're transferred to the con
demned' corridor, in cells underneath
those of Worden, Barthelman and
Berg, who are all condemned to death
On Thursday night it was discovered
that Wilson had sawed an opening in
his door that would almost allow him
to escape, but no tools could he fo,,nd
until all the men in that corridor were
stripped and searched, when six files
made from watch springs were found
under porous plaster on Worden's
back, and in the sole of his slippers
We're iron for the saw handles and a

privileges are withdrawn and the fur-
niture in his room changed.

WHY AttemDt to Cure

Catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies? That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self-evident when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or expos
ure, and occur most frequently during
the winter and spring, though the blood
is as pure then as in summer or fall
A remedy which quickly relieves and
cures the catarrhal attacks has been
found in Ely'S Cream Balm.
