4 factory can be raised without trouble
So the thing to do now Is to get farm
ers to enter largely upon the cultivation
OF this crop.
There Is nothing difficult in the cul-
ture OF the sugar-bect Still It Is not
TO be wondered at that farmers 80 con-
servative as ours should wish to make
haste slowly. But It is almost as bad
10 be too slow as to be too fast. II we
be too slow the opportunity Of securing
| factory here may pass away never
| TO return.
! II has been suggested that TO give as
| surance to the enterprise, several thou
sands OF acres OF beets might be Guilt
waited by convict labor. But II may be
urged that this would bring convict
labor into direct competition with our
| farmers Now let us see IL there is any
real danger Of this: Whilst the enter
prise is In an experimental stage, the
objection certainly could not hold good.
The present trouble is not that the pro-
posed factory would have too many
but too few, beets offered II! The gen.
tlemen who have proposed TO use con-
Wet labor for this purpose have done so
in order to help make up the needful
acreage.
The farming element OF our population
Is overwhelmingly in control of our
LEGISLATURE, and IL Is not TO be sup
posed that 1t would consent TO any use
OF conyicts that would be hurtful to the
agricultural interests Of Virginia. Thus
we may be sure that the action Of the
Legislature upon this question Will al
ways be in full accord with the wishes
Of the agriculturists of the State.
The raising of beets would not only
give the farmer a valuable money-crop,
but the refuse of the factories would
20 into the markets to become cheap
and convenient cattle food. Thus a !
stimulus would be given the cattle in |
dustry hereabout. The State Of New |
York thinks so well Of beet culture that |
II is offering a bounty TO farmers who
plant this crop, and a large factory is
already in successful operation at Rome.
We do not know how our Legislature
will be able to help forward beet Gull
ture in Virginia, but of this we are
1uite sure-that whatever is in its power
to do it will willingly do. And 1t so
happens that in this matter it needs no
argument at all to convince the people
hat the interests Of the cities and Oh
the counties are identical. If Richmond
should be the first to start factory,
md should that factory prove success
ful. other factories would undoubtedly
be established in this State
The consumption of sugar is increasing
IT a rapid rate, but we may produce all
hat the people Of this Commonwealth
reed, If we choose to do so. But If we
ire Indifferent to our interests in the
natter, our money will continue to be
ent out of the State, for we may rely
lpon it that our people are going to
lave sugar no matter whether 1t is
in Virginia or New York, in
california or in Louisiana.

The New York Herald, which makes
the study of weather conditions and
prospects speciality, says that ''if the
winter of 1S97-'9S is not to be backward
and of the mild type in the United States,
it will have to bestir itself very soon and
make much more active demonstrations
than it has yet begun to do"
The Herald is led to these remarks by
observing the tenacity with which the
mild autumn retains its hold. and the en-
tire failure this season Of big cold waves
to put in an appearance over British
America. However, the Herald adds a
clause to the effect that it would be pre-
mature to predict whether the winter will
be a rigorous or a mild one, and this
clause we are inclined to regard as the
most weatherwise part of its article.

The Hunter from Town.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
The woods again re-echo
The banging OF the guns,
And to its place of hiding
The frightened squirrel runs.
Up from the meadow rising
The startled quail takes flight,
Pursued by leaden pellets
Until it's out of sight.
For now the hunting season
Has opened up again,
And watchful "spor.s" are prowling
Through forest. field. and glen;
With cautious steps advancing,
On every side they peer,
And eyes are keenly seeking
The cause OF sound they hear.
And oft charge they're wasting
Because they've been too slow,
Then quickly they are letting
Another barrel go.
And should they make a killing,
With shot thus spreading wide.
Their faces will be beaming
With all hunters pride.
For weary miles the sportsman
With heavy gun will plod,
While many trials meeting
And oft adventures odd.
And now and then there's trouble
When telling farmer how
He aimed to hit squirrel
And CHANGED 10 shoot a COW.
Perchance a dog will chase him,
And at II he'll not fire.
Lest half a dozen grangers
Upon him vent their ire.
And oft where game Is plenty
With sorrow he'll be bowed,
For there's this sign: mo hunting
Upon this land allowed
The ilveiong day he'll wander
Until he's nearly dead,
And then he'll homeward Etagger
On feet that feel like lead.
He'll hang up empty game-bag,
And put away his gun,
And then we'll hear him saying:
1T Just went out for fun"

While the English papers are going
wild over the charge Of the Gordon High
landers at Dargai, and more than one
English poet has celebrated the episode
in verse some of the Scottish papers are
disposed to treat 1t rather lightly. The
latter, while not denying that the dash
was q brilliant one, take the ground that
the affair was after all little more than
a skirmish, and is not to be mentioned
alongside of other deeds Of the same com.
mand and of other Scottish regiments.
