what some seientists Think.

Scientists have been led to the opinion
that at one time there was in or consti-
tuting the universe a mass of elements,
either fluid. gaseous or molten, which
revolved so rapidly, and was SO dis
torted while in this condition by u
tides, that it was in the course of ages
divided into two parasitic earth and
the moon, Then each of these became a
separate sphere; they revolved, each on
its own axis and each around the other,
but SO closely together that a day was
only from two to four hours long, and
u mont was about the same length.
Such being the case. the gravity mutual
ly exerted by the two bodies tended to
distert them with tides-tidal friction
began to retard their velocity. and the
moon, which moved less rapidly, began
to recede from the earth. Subsequent
results induced by this course OF action
are. as is apparent, that the earth has
hardened to its present condition. the
moon has been drawn out of shape SO
that oue face is always turned this way,
and thus things have reached the exist
Ing state.-N, z. Sun.

Last spring the Experiment Station
sent seed of an APP royed variety of sugar
beets to several citizens of Lafayette
county. to ties the adaptability IF your
soil and climate to the production of this
crop. The beets were grown according to
our direction, and this fall samples were
sent to the station for analysis, with the
following results:
Grown by A. F. Perry, Bates City: aver
age weight of topped beets 1 h., per cent
sugar 11.5; per cent purity 1855.
B. F. Hampton, Odessa: weight l Id. 2
o.; per cent sugar ILL; purity 80 90.
W. p. Keith, MAYHEM: weight 2 lbs. 10
OF; per cent sugar 1872; purity 75.es.
R. H. Benton, Greenton: weight l H., 10
o.; per cent sugar 10 s; purity 70 4.
". P. Keith. Mayhem, C2): weight 2
lbs, II OF; per cent sugar ISL; purity IS 8
Two of The samples show the required
amount OF sugar, while three fall slightly
below the standard. The size OF all the
beets was satisfactory considering the dry
season. The experiment should be re-
peated in Lafayette county.
A beet to be profitable for the manu-
facture of sugar should contain at lea It IL
per cent OF sugar. The yield of topped
beets should average ten TONS per acre to
be profitable to the grower. The price OF
topped bsets delivered at the factory is
between 50 and IS per ton, according to
their richness. The cost per acre Of grow
Ing, harvesting and delivering the beets
to the factory Is between $50 and $50.
The Norfolk Beet Sugar Co., of Me-
brssks, asserts after six years of expe-
rience that seven tons OF topped beets per
acre will bear all expenses of growing
them, and all over this yield is profit.
Sugar beets are likely to succeed better
In Missouri on. the open soils han on

tin which Is for free distribution to those

I GROVES

The last issue OF the INTELLIGENCER
contained the valedictory OF the above
named gentleman. He has ceased to
be in any way connected with this
paper, and will devote bis entire time
and energy to editing and building up
the Independence Sentinel, which he
has purchased.
We can congratulate the Sentinel
that it has fallen into such able hands;
we congratulate the people of Indepen-
denoe in securing such an addition to
society and citizenship; We congratulate
the democracy of Jackson county in
securing ouch an untiriug worker, such
an able thinker, such a brilliant writer,
and such an eloquent speaker.
MIR. Groves is a young man, just
getting started in life, yet be has made
for himself 9 reputation as a writer and
speaker that bias already oVerleaped
the boundaries of our state. The people
of Lafayette county will watch his
career with pride, feeling that what
ever he may do, or wherever he may
go, he is a product of our county, and
we can always claim him as n of US.
We part from him as we part from a
younger brother, and shall always feel
pride in his success and advancement.
We have no fear of his failure.
"A little more than four years ago he
stepped out of college, and began his
public career by becoming the editor
of the INTELLIaENCER. In that brief
time ne has made himself what he Is.
As a writer he has few equals; as q
speaker he has no superior of his age;
rs q long-headed thinker he takes rank
with the oldest politicians; as a genial,
companion, he has made our
people love him, As q steadfast friend,
ready I work and to sacrifice for those
he loves, we have never met his equal.
In losing him we lose a true friend
the democracy of this county loses one
Of its best workers; our city loses one
Of its best families. May prosperity
md success be his obedient slaves.

CHANGE.

Custom has long ago decreed that
an editor, in taking charge of a news
paper, should define his opinions and
policies in a long-winded salutatory,
which few would read and nobody
remember. We have no need to define
our position. We have been more OF
less intimately connected with the
INTEILIGENCER since August, 1875,
when it was consolidated with the
Caucasian; we helped 10 found the
Caucasian in 1866, and owned it at the
time of the consolidation. We are
not a stranger in Lexington, nor an
apprentice in newspaper work.
We feel that there is no need of
making promises. Our interests are
all identical with the interests OF Lex
ingtou and of Lafayette county. We
propose TO make the best paper we
can, and hope to have the goodwill OF
everybody, and such support as the
paper deserves.

BENEFIT OF GOOD ROADS.

Editor Intellipencer.
To be worth anything at all q road
must be constructed scientifically. The
syatem of "mendInR'' roads, In vogue in
this country from colonial times, 10 worae
than nothing. All labor aud money go
expended are utterly wasted. There Ia
but one kind Of road that deserves the
adjective 'good," aud that is q highway
constructed under competent engineering
supervision according to the scientihcal y
approved methods. 1t must have q sub.
~stantlal foundation, q good surfacing, and
o careful syetem Of inspection and repair.
There matters should not be left to IN.
skilled guidance. There ought to be an
engineer for Dad construction, by whose
directions the work must be carried on,
in Lexington. The INFELLIqENeER OBJ
serves that the cost of keeping these roads

required to repair ordinary dirt roads
each winter and spring, when great
Rullies and ruts are washed into them by
the rains and floods.
