MORE LOSSES
Of Money Through the Light Fingered Gentry Reported--Railroad Tickets
 Not Wanted and Returned

Reports of losses of money and valua- bles are still being made at police head quarters. The light-fingered pickpock- cts, when relieving a man of his pocket book, returned whatever railroad tickets were found therein. A ticket to Orange burg, s. C., was returned to it's owner Tuesday and Postmaster Copeland yes- terday reported that he found in his mail of that morning two round trip tickets from East St. Louis to Mobile. Thsse tickets were stolen from visitors to the carnival and were mailed to the post master. The owners can recover them at the pos'toffice.
 MT. N. Miller. a. prominent citizan of Blue Creek, lost $20 in greenbacks on a. cemetery car at o'clock on Tuesday night. On the same car MT. Bell, of Jonesville, was relieved of S5 in cash.
 MT. A. c. Miller, ths genial clerk of the city court, was reported to have lost S65 This is a. mistake as MT Miller was not molested. MT T. r. Parker, Sr., the efficient bailiff of the city court, was re- lieved of $5 in cash and warrant on the county treasurer for $60. A duplicate warrant was issued and Uncle Tom" had 1t cashed thereby making his actual loss $5.

AT WEST END
Will Be Located the Cumberland Presby- terian College-Committee So
 Decides.

The committee of the Birmingham Presbytery of the Cumberland Presby- terian church, have decided to locate their college at West End, near this city.
 This decision was reached after an ex- animation of bids. 1t being agreed upon as the most acceptable one. The com mittee comprised Rev. R. D. Wear, pas tor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, this city, and Laymen W. F. Ty- Ter and W. M Cosby, of the same church, Rev. J. s. Oglesby, of Oak Grove, and Rev. J. H. B. Hall
 The people of West End offered $S50 cash and twenty-four lots. This, with probably other contributions, will make the bid the best rendered.
 Arrangements for the work of erecting necessary buildings are progressing.

would likely take an interest in sugar beet experiments. Each of these will be supplied with sufficient seed to make a reasonable experiment. and given num- Der of pounds of each farmers beets will be sent to the testing station. The re- suits of these tests will be tabulated and published by the government in bulletin form for the benefit of manufacturers and others who may desire to intexest themselves in either the growing of beets or their manufacture into sugar. Our plan includes the free transportation of the beets to the station, and we esti- mate that to distribute the seed, ship the product and test it will cost on an aver age of $8,000 for each state. The stations need be in operation only about three months in the year.
 Tn this way the quality of sugar beet, which can be raised in any locality, can be determined, and investors will act accordingly. If the percentage of sac charine matter in the beet amounts to 12 per cent. sugar can be profitaby made from it. It is fact that we import about $100, 900 900 worth of sugar year, and 50 per cent of it is beet sugar In Ger many the beets are raised on land which Is five times as valuable on the average as ours. and which is enriched with im- ported fertilizers. If this can be done pyofftably, why can we not raise the beets at home?
 Maj Mckinley is much interested in the future of the beet sugar industry. It is in strict accord with the funda- mental principle of the Mckinley bill, which is that we should produce at homef everything that it is possible to produce. He promised, when I saw him in Decem- Der, to consider the matter, and to urge the enactment of such legislation as Will develop the beet sugar industry in this country. I believe the plan we propose will do that, and that it will meet Maj. McKinley'S approbatiOn.'
