BUYING GEORGIA. mon LAND.
De BardeIeben Making Large Pur-
chaSes Near CedartOyvn.


CedartoWn Ga. Aug. 3l.-Tne Standard
says to-day that Henry f. De Bardeleben
one of the great iron men of Alabama, has
recently made extensive purchases Of iron
ore lands in Polk county.
His efforts now are directed toward OBJ
tanning 10000 acres of fine iron ore lands
near Cedartown, and lying between this
city and Cave Spring. Through his agents
he has already bought over 1900 acres, and
ia few more days several thousand acres
will be added 10 the tracts he now owns.
Beginning at a point known as Hema-
tite, about four or five miles south OF
cave Springs, on the Southern Railway,
the De Bardeleben purchases form a con-
tinuous link half way to Cedartown and
embrace lands rich in deposits of iron
ore.
This movement means the certain con-
struction of a railroad from Cave Spring
or some other point on the Southern Rail-
way direct to Cedartown
Whether or not 1t is Mr.. De Bardele-
bens intention to build furnace on his
tract, is not known.

Oh, These limitations.
From the New York Press.

From the New ork Press.
John Mohl is not the first man to bring
suit against a mystic order for injuries
inflicted al an initiation. There is a good
deal of horse play. and a great deal of
genuine fun. A man who can't take
little of both good-naturedly isn't fit to be
a member. He must know at the outset
that riding the goat, being shot at, tied TO
the stake, etc, are not intended to kill
or MAIN him. Hundreds of thousands
have stood the ordeal before. One of the
severer trials of courage is known as the
Test of Steel" in the order of Knights
of Pythas The candidate blindfolded is
required to examine solid slab of oak
in which are firmly set sharp spikes of
steel This is laid upon the floor, and
after removing his shoes and socks he is
commanded to jump on 1t. I admit that 1t
isn't a nice leap, barefooted, into a bed
of steel spikes-but when one has done 1t
he finds that he has landed on a soft
cushion! The TEST of Steer must be a
joke, because any man jumping on it
would die of lockjaw before one might say
Jack Robinson. 1t is obliged 10 be a fake
and every sensible man will jump when
the King commands Should he not jump?
Behold! The executioners.

SEEKING SUGAR STATISTICS.
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
TO ISSUE a CIRCULAR.

wants To secure Data to he Used in
Re-estabiishfnG GcOrEia's Prestige
rs Cane Growing and sugar MAX
ing State-Object VIII lie to See
whether Planters Can Produce
cane SO as to Make 1t Pay "A Good
Profit.
Atlanta, Aug. 31.-As a result Of the con-
ference with Capt. Purse yesterday, Com.
missioner of Agriculture Stevens will send
out ist Of questions to farmers in the
cane growing section of the state to see
just how much cane they are growing,
and TO secure other data from them also
that may be valuable in aid of the move
ment TO re-establish Georgia's prestige az
cane growing and sugar making state.
These questions will be promulgated just
as soon as the clerical work can be per-
formed by the department force.
In regard to the conference with Capt.
Purse yesterday. Commissioner Stevens
gave out an interview to-day, in which
he says:
1.-The object in +riew Is TO induce the
planters to grow a sufficient amount OF
cane to authorize the building Of mills In
order to do this, we must create a market
for the cane growing by the planters, then
the price paid for the cane should be re-
munerative to the planters who viii grow
it,
THE mills do not want the syrup, bu,
they want the crude cane. The amount
of syrup made from the crude cane de-
ponds a great deal upon the cooking or
the juice. That is to say, that you can
take any locality and you will find that a
kettle of juice cooked by one man win
make more syrup than the same amount
OF juice would make cooked by another
man.
The Objects in view.
"Our objects now are to first find out
what amount of cane has been grown this
year, then to md out at what cost il has
been grown, and next to find out how much
is being made per acre. When we get
this Information we viii then be able 10
see whether the planters can afford to
produce the cane at such a price as the
mills can afford to take it at so as to
make it remunerative to the planters.
IF this can be done, there is no ques-
ton but that the growing of cane will be
one of the greatest industries in all South
Georgia There is no question about the
soil being adapted 10 the growing of cane
statistics show that the uplands of Geor-
gia produce the finest cane grown in the
world.
IF we can secure the cooperation of
the railroads in hauling the cane from the
fields to the mills. a great point has been
secured, and we believe that the roads
will do their part for the movement
las far back as 1926 Savannah was the
leading sugar market in the world. There
are yet signs Of the old sugar mills in the
neiehborhood of Savannah. 1t is also true
that Georgia furnished the seed cane for
Louisiana when she started the industry
OF planting cane; but cotton succeeded the
cane industry in Georgia and drove it out,
and our people for a number of years have
paid but little attention to it, except for
home consumption.
