The Fourth of July was instituted as Ma

occurred before the War OF Independence had
been fOughI, but its significance ard its mo-

Revolutionary struggle and the subsequent

MMemoria1 day was instituted primarily as a
tribute TO our heroic dead. The scars and

had scarce died away; lheV sang of the silent

How Horses Show Whether They Arc

Intelligent OF Not.
AS every one knows, there is rs much
difference in the brain power OF horses
as there is in men. The ordinary dray
horse is much the inferior OF the racer
in point of intelligence. and in nothing
moro than in the expression OF the ami

It can been seen by q glance at the

The Farmers Innings.

A gentleman who has just returned
from business trip which extended from
Virginia 70 Alabama including Tennes-
see and Georgia, reports a bright and
prosperous condition OF affairs. In the
sections Of those states where wheat is
grown the crop, he says, is almost double
the usual amount and is selling right
along at the advanced market price. To-
bacco which forms an important part
Of the crops of Virginia. North Carolina
and South Carolina, is steadily advancing
in price. In each Of the states he visited
cotton is looking splendidly, there is an
active demand for the staple and it is
bringing good prices. The corn and 9TH
er crops in addition to this, are far above
the average. and he says the farmers are
jubilant, attributing their prosperity to
Providence, the Mckinney boom or some
other factor which they seem to think
fits the case In consequence of the bright
prospect the farmers and business men are
buying freely though still cautiously.
This genCeman's statement of the crop
conditions tallies with the general reports
which are coming from almost every sec
ton. He predicts for Savannah, not
without reason, the largest business that
has been its share for years and is conf
dent that the cotton receipts of the port
will pass the million mark This means
more shipping from Savannah and more
shipping means more business for every

name, which they saw in so many places

sending out trolleys into the streets with
out having his name distinctly painted on
them. Asked for his excuse he replied
that he provided a properly addressed
plaque for each vehicle, but the men
scratched the name off. You see, siT, -

In a letter from Nara gansett Pier,
which we publish in another column this
morning, Col. W. w Gordon calls atten-
ton to the fact that the farmers and plant
ers of South Georgia and Florida raise
sugarcane and make syrup; that they
have made sugar, and can do it again. In
Florida the growing of sugarcane Is car
ricd on quite extensively. and there is
some sugar made in that state. The pro-
ducuon of sugar. however, is small the
far greater portion of the cane crop be-
ing made into syrup and molasses. With
the low prices Of sugar which have pre-
vailed for some years, the cane growers
found it more profitable TO make their
cane juice into syrup and molasses, and
buy whatever sugar they needed.
Lately, however, the price OF sugar has
gone steadily upward. Congress mas turn
cd over the sugar market to the trust.
and the trust is proceeding to squeeze the
people for every cent they can stand.
Every household feels the squeeze. for
sugar is an article of necessity. Is it not
possible for the people TO save themselves
from the trust? The farmers of South
Georgia and Florida. at least, have il in
their power 10 defy the trust. They can
produce their own sugar. For a time they
may bc unable 20 produce as fine grade
Of the article as that turned out by the
trust. but they can make good. wholesome
sugar
During the late war the southern people
made an Of the sugar used 10y the soldiers
and their families. II was. Of course. of
comparatively low grade but much of il
was of lleht color. about the quality
known as Muscovado in the davs before
the trust controlled the country. Having
grown its own sugar once. and under most
adverse circumstances. The south can do
Il again. As a matter of fact. there are
very few OF the necessaries of modern life
which the south cannot produce. the prn-
ciplc exceptions being Tea and coffee: ana
one OF these is being grown in small
way n South Carolina. There is scarcely
