BEET SUGAR AaD the COAST.

There is no reason why the cul-
tivation of the beet for sugar
should not prove as successful in
this country as it has in Europe.
France, Russia, Germany and Aus
tria have been making beet sugar
for fifty years or more, and have
demonstrated that its manufac-
ture pays, and pays all. These
countries have between them 1245
beet sugar factories, while in the
United States there are only eight.
1t is estimated that within the
next ten years perhaps fully 5000,
600 tons of beet sugar will be an
nually used in this country. If
farmers will set about to raise the
sugar beet they will experience
some sure enough prosperity. To
produce this amount of sugar
would require 33,000,000 tons Of
sugar beets, which would bring at
the lowest estimation, $130,000,-
600. The industry would employ
$4,000, 900 acres of farming land,
and something like 100000 men
to work in the fields. The facto-
ries for making the sugar would
give employment to many more
people aud create a general de.
mand for the stuffs that are nee
essary in the manufacture. The
coast of Mississippi, the garden
spot of the country, has sol
to which the growth of the sugar
beet is particularly adapted auc
the industry could be proftably
carried on. We have the soil,
the labor and capital, too. Now
for greater activity of the sugar
beet industry. The United State:
government is friendly to the pur
! pose.

j The Danvlle Land & improvement
Co., the Bay st. Louis Land & I'm

Improvement Co., and the land com
pany owning Clermont Clty-there
you are with all the land companies
in Bay st. Louis and immediate vi
city. And all ready for business and
all are going to do business. What
a boon TO the country here! Nothing
booms locality better. than land
company, and If these do not des.
tined Bay St. Louis to greatness it
will hardly be worth trying again.
But these companies will succeed
in chat mission of building up. Their
chiefs and promoters are all men be-
longing to Bay st. Louis. No out
side spectators or land sharks who
gull the well-meaning, pocket the
receipts, and leave for greener fields.
NO place can expect to build and
flourish with idle lands and undevel-
oped resources without inviting the
people in search of new homes, and
the land companies offer one of the
best medium to acquire the meeting
of those things here indicated.
In is in the power of the railroads
to do much for a place, especially in
the uniting with local effort. The
companies herein named have the CO.

1t is great pity we do not have
more winter visitors than the Bay
entertains. We entertain thousands
of summer Visitors year after year,
and the place is just as good winter
resort-the best south.
There are no visitors to the Bay

other substantial evidence is Of theit
owning so lovely home and spa
cious grounds as ''Keuwood." Mr..
Bell has travelled nearly all bis life
time. and first came down to New
Orleans IN 1857. How did they CONC

home?
Well, in 1878 Mrs. Bell had a sis
ter i'll with consumption at New Or
leans, and being advised change
that lady came TO Bay st. Louis
where the balsamic breath of the
pines was prescribed TO her and the
place would restore her lost vitality.
The lady came, and as noted by The
Echo some time ago giving the list
of the yellow fever deaths in that
year, died from the fever. Her
death was so sudden and unexpect-
ed that Mr.. and Mrs. Bell came to
investigate or learn Of whatever Of
interest in the sad affair they might
learn. Their stay was programmed
for one day only, but so desirabIy
impressed were they with the place
that it was finally concluded to re-

The called meeting at Washing

parently gives good ground fol
the rising of much suspicion that

we believe. Since the insurrec-

years the United States has not
been thus officially represented in

of interest that the United States

THE WAyEEAND TRAGEDY.

The murder at Waveland last
Saturday night at place of
amusement-like every such deed
committed-to say the least is de-
plorable. The murderer, like his
victim, has family to provide
for, and whether he will be given
the fullest extreme of the law or
made to repent interminably in
seclusion, both families will be
dependent on outside sources for
sustenance. Both will suffer.
One home will suffer in gloom and
sadness where widow and orphans
weep-the other will suffer the
same in absence of husband and
father, and where the stigma of
crime will darken. Would that
the affair had never occurred in
the peaceful, the beautiful town of
Wayeland, that the pain caused
might have been spared; that the
tear OF sorrow and the blush of
pain would never have invaded
the hallowed precincts of that
place belongs contentment we
love to call home. There should
be no cause, no matter how ag-
gravating, to justify the taking of
a fellow brothers life, for here
the thief takes that which he can
not possess even after it is taken
that which he cannot give back.
He robs some worthy wife of her
home, he snatches the bread from
innocent children. And in this
instance where tue circumstances
were so trfling which led to so
serious a elimination of a mere
dispute, makes the instance par
tlcularly more damaging. But we
do not wish it to be Inferred of
trying to pass judgment or infu-
encing opinion. Before tho pro-
per tribunal and at the proper
time the merit ed deserts will be
meted. This assertion is safe
That liquor, one flask of whiskey,
was instrumental in the crime we
learn with profound sorrow. This
will give those opposing open sa'
looms apparent good ground for
argument. But Wayeland, while
not a. prohibition town, has nc
liquor business-no saloons-and
that which principally caused the
tragedy could have just the same
occurred in a prohibition town
where more jug whiskey is drunk
than the barrel kind in the com
munily free from prohibitory re.
strictions. Both families are de.
serving of sympathy, and for tho
aforestated reasons. The affair
