SOME LIQUOR STATISTICS.
loo, 600. 900 Gallons Manufactured in the
United States Last Year.

1000, 900. 900 Gallons Manufactured in the
United States Last Year.
The total amount of grain which in a
year enters into the production of spirit
uOus and matt liquors in the United
States is 10000, 100000 bushels. This
item of revenue is one which causes some
farmers, especially in years of poor har-
vests, to look with more favor upon the
distillery and brewing business than they
might otherwise. At the head of grains
used stands corn, to the amount of 49,
100000 bushels. The chief states supply
ing corn to the distilleries are Kentucky,
Is, 100000 bushels; Illinois, 1000, 900
bushels, and Ohio and Indiana 1,0OO,-
600 each. New Y Ork state supplies 200,-
600 bushels.
The consumption of rye for distillery
purposes amounts to 100000 bushels
per year. Pennsylvania and Kentucky
together furnish about two-thirds of the
rye used in the manufacture of whis-
key.
The quantity of mOlasses used for the
production of rum last year amounted
to about 100000 gallons. The amount
of rum produced was 100000 gallons,
shrinkage of 900, 1000 gallons in the
process of manufacture. Two states
were the consumers, Massachusetts and
New York. Massachusetts takes high
rank in the quality and quantity of her
rum and has done so for many years.
New York state has of late years been
CrOwding Massachusetts in the produc-
ton of rum.
Barley enters into the production of
beer to the extent of about 5000 900
bushels year The other grains used
are unimpOrsant, few thousand bush
els of oats besng used for the cheaper
grades of barley--in Indiana chief
ly:
The total sales IF liquor in the United
States in 1895 amounted to over 100, 000,-
600 gallons of domestic products, exclu-
sive of 500, 900 gallons of spirits distill-
ed from fruits. The total amount of
malt liquor manufactured in the United
States amounted to 1000, 1000, 000igallons.
In respect to impOrtatlOns, just twice as
much beer and ale was imported into
the United States as of whskey, rum as
brandy. The only considerable item of
foreign importation is wine. the imports
of which amount to 100000 gallons a
year. Twenty years ago more than one
quarter of the wines consumed in the
United States were of foreign importa-
ton. Now the proportion amounts to
more than one-sixth. This is due to the
activity of the California wine growers,
whose output has steadily increased in
value year by year.
More than twice as much bourbon as
rye whiskey is manufactured in the Unit
ed States in year. The largest internal
revenue district for the manufacture of
bourbon whlskey is The fifth Kentucky,
or Louisville, district. The Lexington,
or blue grass, district in Kentucky has
an output of 100000 gallons in year.
For rye whiskey the twenty-third district
of Pennsylvania (Pittsburg) stands first
and Baltimore second. Boston is first
in rum and New York in gin and also in
beer.

A Quick Conversion.

From the Efingham News.
The injustice OF the self-glOritiCatiOn
crusade of Governor Atkinson is appar-
ent. The Valdosta Times well asks the
questions, lis it right?' "Is it honest?n
1t is not. The system under which mis-
demeanOr cOnvicts were rented to these
and other parties has been in existence
for years 1t was in existence while Viii
liam Y. Atkinson was in the legislature
He knew of it then and raised no voice
against it. 1t was in existence during
his Fl cst term as governor. He knew it,
and although the legislature was twice
in session he made no protest against it ;
sought in no way to change Lhis diposi-
ton of such criminals. 1t was in exist.
enCe last fall and winter while the legis-
lature was in session. An effort was
made to remedy the defects in the law.
Gov. Atkinson gave it no help. He was
too busy grasping for the senatorial
prize or otherwise studying his own in
terests. Now, with another session OF
the legislature but a few weeks off, he
suddenly becomes the defender of mis-
demeanOr ConviCts, their interchangeable
protector against an illegal system of
punishment. His has been quick CON
version, one open TO the suspicion that
it is for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT more
than anything else. But he will get scant
praise from south Georgia.

JUDGE sHEFFIELD's CHARGE.
What the Papers Say of His Remarks to

| what the Papers say OF his Remarks to
the Quitman Grand Jury.
From the Savannah News.
We are inclined to agree in part with
what Judge Sheffield says of the landing
of thieves and murderers, in certain in
stances. We have lately seen Perry,
Tom Delk, Bud Brooks, and other muir
derers. and great variety of thieves and
swndlers, maze heroes of by certain
Georgia newspapers, to the disgust of
law-abiding citizens and self-respecting
| journalism. But it must not be suppos-
ed by Judge Sheffield or anybody else
that the 'sentimentalism' (more prop
erly sensatiOnalism) of such publications
represents the feeling of the public with
regard to the matter. The people de-
sire, and intend, that the convicts shall be
| punished, but not beaten and starved,
| They have no intention of providing
| them with feather beds, carpets and
! chicken pie; they mean that the beds
shall be hard, the food hard, and the la
Dor hard.
From the Ft. Gaines Sentinel.
Judge Sheffield, judging fl I'M his re.
! cent remarks at Quitman cour., takes no
stock in the sentimentalism that has re-
Gently created such an upstir in thus
state in behalf of the "poOr, outraged
cOnvicts. He is Of the opinion that When
a person sinks to the level OF a convict
he deserves the punishment of his class,
and if there is any sympathy lying
| around loose it should be given to out
ragged society and the overburdened tax
payers. While he would be humane in
the care for and protection of criminals
he would also have respect for the de-
J mandS of justice to all parties concerned.
The Judge, as usual, is about three-thirds
right.
From the Valdosta Times.
Judge Sheffields charge to grand
jury this week gave iutimatiOns to that
body that he was opposed to the maudlin
sentimentality which wanted to give
| chicken thieves and other law breakers
feather beds to s'eep on and chicken pie
to ca. The 'sentimentalists" who want
TO arrange hotel Accommodate for
| GeOrgia's Convicts belong to the same
crowd that endeavored to reform Lord
BeresfOrd by making a social lion of him.
