season all the way from New England
on the east to British Columbia on the
west The first carload (and likely
the first gallon) of our syrup ever
sent to the latter being shipped last
winter by Wight Bros, of Cairo.
The possibilities in the direction of
increasing the output of syrup in this
section are almost illimitable. The
main question is a market for what
can be made. But as our farmers inn
prove the quality of their product by
attention to it's manufacture, the de-
mand for Georgia syrup will increase.
There is no better syrup made than
ours when it is in it's prime. Actual
analysis shows that it is ten per cent.
richer in SucrOse than Louisiana syn
up. There is something in the soil OF
this section that produces a flavor that
is not surpassed by that grown in any
other section, and is superior to that OF
almost every other. The average
Weld per acre is about four hundred
gallons; while six hundred gallons are
frequently made. With proper atten-
ton to the preparation and fertlllZa-
ton of land the above average could
be materially increased; by this is not
meant fancy patches" where eight
hundred to nine hundred gallons per
acre are sometimes produced, but what
can be made by any farmer on good
land where the proper methods are
followed. Our opportunities are great
in this direction but we are only slowly
awakening to them.
When our farmers remove the i'm
purities from their syrup in the pro-
cess of boiling and so eliminate one
cause of fermentation; when they boil
it to a uniform density, determining
this by the use of a SaccharOmeter in
stead of by guessing at it, and so re-
move another cause of fermentation;
when they put it in new and attrac
tive packages, and thus make it pre-
Standardization there will be a market
for much more syrup than is now pro
duced, and it will bring price that
will pay for it's production.
Not long ago l was told by direc-
tor of the New Orleans sugar eX-
change that the Louisiana planter
does not make his cane into syrup
when the latter sells for less than 30
cents Der gallon, because it will pay
better to turn it into sugar. If it will
pay better to make sugar than syrup
in Louisiana, why not also in Georgia?
One of the chief objects of DR..
Stubs visit to Georgia, was to look
into our possibilities for profitable SUI
gar production. After spending
number of days in his investigation,
he stated to me positively that there
is no obstacle in the way of making
it at profit in this section. The sit
uatiOn as between Louisiana and
Georgia is this: The cane lands of the
former State are situated along the
low alluvial lands bordering it's water
courses, which produce luXuriant
growth of stalk at the expense of the
sugar contents. The cane lands of our
State are high and dry; and while the

Curative Skin Soap

CONTAINS no ingredients which are
in any way harmful to the skin. 1t is
a decided and most agreeable contrast
to many so-called skin soaps. Hence
its continuous use realizes the finest
and the softest and whitest
skin. 1t is admirably adapted to pre-
serve the health of the skin and scalp
of infants and children as well as
adults.

Curative Skin Soap

IS NOT only the purest, sweetest and

contains delicate emOllient properties,
which purify and beautify the skin. 1t
is a soap that can be used as often as
needed without harming the living
skin. 1t washes off the dead skin
nothing more. Have you observed how
dry and disagreeable your hands feel
sometimes after using a cheap soap?
If you use such soap often your skin
will become unhealthy; it will lead to

BRYAN'S POPULARITY.

The Chicago Times Herald, a thick
and thin Republican organ, pays this
tribute to Bryan: The same day
that Ex-Governor Hogg was carrying
Tammany by storm with his refer
ence to Bryan. MIR. Bryan was receiv-
ed himself with tremendous enthus-
iasm both at Atlanta and GAINESVILLE,
Georgia. Everywhere it is the same
story. The man seems not to have
suffered at all in TIE esteem Of his
followers by his defeat in 1896 True
he has found in several states that
the Democratic leaders consider the
silver issue a disastrous one aud in
those states the popular vote would
certainly be hostile to his silver pol
icy, but wherever he goes he meets
with almost fanatiCal personal loyal,
ty, Very few American politicians
have been the objects OF such general
or intense devotion.
What then will explain tins extra
ordinary phenomenon? Il may be Tt
fered to a combination Of causes, each
potent 4 its way. Mr.. Bryan has
character, personality sincerity, in
tellectual brillliancy, eloq1ence, and
the elements are so mixed III him as
to produce tie best possible effect.
Hei is besides the leading exponent Of
a principle which gives a remarkable
influence where the principle is held
while his character, gifts and attain
ments secure for him the liking of the
people who regret the principle.
At one time there was a very natur
al dispo,ition to ascribe his preface t
q single speech, but the speech wa:
merely his opportunity. Since deliv
ering it he has proved his power a!
an orator many times, and he ha.
stood the closer scrutiny Of the public
which is attracted but not dominated
by oratoty. We have known meI
rel more brilliant on the platform
who have never got beyond the par
OF performers in a campaign show
With all their ability they could no
command respect because they d.
not possess those moral qualitie
which the American people desire i,
their political leaders OF the Presi
dental class.

The Rock Island Railway has
been compelled to pay to r. c. Pratt,
administrator of the estate of w. H.
Stone, who was run over and killed
near Anita in March, 1894, the sum
of 5000. The case has been occupy
ing the attention of the court from
that day to this, and just in the last
few days the Supreme Court has
closed up the last avenue whereby
the company can escape longer de-
laying payment oft the damage. The
case was first brought to the atten-
ton of the District Court of Cass
county, under Judge Lewis, and
judgment rendered against PLAIN
tiff. 1t was then carried to the STU
prene Court and the decision of the
lower court reversed. The company
then brought the case back to the
District Court and had it retired
under Judges Thornell and Smith,
and verdict for 5000 was returned
for the plaintiff. The case was then
appealed to the Supreme Court by
the railway company and the decis-
ion of the lower court sustained,
thus closing the last avenue of
escape. With the costs the sum will
amount to over 100000 which the
railway company will have to hand
over.-Atlaut1c Democrat

Many years ago when that part of
Extra which is now the pretty part
of the West Side of Park Street, was
corntield there stood plain house
where the family of John w. Scott
resided, who will be remembered
by our older citizens, and about the
doorstep there played, among the
other children, a wee mite of a
"Totts named Leila. In time the
family moved from there and we
had near forgotten her when she
was brought to our mind by the
following marriage notice which
appeared in the Atlantic Daily Tel
egraph, of Thursday:
Last night George M. Shirk and
Miss Leila Scott We're united in mar
rage at the residence of Rev. Otto,
no persons being present but the
contracting parties and the witness
es. The wedding has been kept
quiet and comes as a surprise to the
friends Of bride and groom. Mr..
Shirk is proprietor of the Atlantic
Hand Laundry and has been resi-
dent of Atlantic for many years, and
is we'll known here Miss Scott is

greater part of her life in Atlantic.
She is graduate of the high school

More About Southern Texas.


One thing that seems strange to a man
from the north, is he never hears any pol
itics here. The time spent in the north on
the political question, is here utilized i'm
playing dominoes and talking religion.
have seen men worth millions sitting un-
der the shade of a tree playing dominoes.
Nearly every one here belongs to some
church, mostly Baptist or Methodist The
Baptist church takes the cake. 1 went to
a colored church in Eagle Lake the other
evening. The preacher, a young colored
man, was cracker-jack, you could hear
him four blocks. 1t seems they were all
christian people except one young man
named John Henry. Now said J. H. didn't
long escape the eagle eye of the preacher.
| John Henry" he called, do you want to
go to the debel?" ]. H. allowed he didn't.
We'll come up here. Now quit your laffen,
look me in the eye, now what you gwine
| to do about it? l done fool away any more
time on you. You take your choice-the
debel or the church, John Henry began
to cry.
One seldom hears cusS words here. A
certain man from Audubon county, we'll
known to some of your readers, was fined
| eighteen dollars, few weeks ago for in
| dulging in profane language.
The Southern farmer does his blowing
with one horse or mule and an eight-inch
plow. They think ten acres of corn right
| smart of crop. One of them told me the
| other day he meant toquit raising corn as
| these northern men, with their modern
| machinery, would raise so much corn
that it wouldn't bring more than two bits,
and he'd be doged if he'd raise corn for
| two bits. They seldom keep hogs, but
keep dogs enough to make up. The ranch
| men are big hearted, generous fellows;
| They count their land by the league, 4440
| acres, and their cattle by the thousands.

| to be built here-a big one One that will
| accommodate two thousand students; of

Corn now, June 10th, looks fine, it's in

the yield at 60 bushels to the acre.

years was thought to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
