Is mystery. IL she accidentally sat

There are some women who seem to
be perennially youthful. The grown
daughters are companions as well as
children, and the color in the moth
er's cheeks, the brightness in her eyes,
the roundness of her form, all speak Of
Astounding health. What is her secret?
She is at the middle age Of life when
so many women are worn, wasted and
faded, and yet time has only ripened
her charms. The secret of this ma
tronly health and beauty may be told
in the brief phrase, DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. The general
health of woman is so intimately re-
lated to the local health of the delicate
womanly organs, that where these are
diseased, the whole body must suffer.
''Favorite Prescription" dries the de-
bilitating drains, heals liberation and
Inflammation, cures female weakness
and imparts to the delicate female or
gans natural vigor and vitality. Wo-
men who have lost their health and
their beauty have been made robust
and rosy checked by the use of this
marvellous medicine.

able to keep the refinery going twelve
months in the year. base this opin-
ion on knowledge of the conditions
in nearly all Florida and in many coun-
ties in South and Southeast Georgia.
1t is a we'll known fact that sugar
cane is almost a sure crop in the ter
ritory named. 1t may be true that at
present the syrup output is little more
than sufficient to supply the local de-
mand. But, were the demand increas-
ed, the supply would also increase, for
sugar cane is sure crop, and easily
grown.
Editor Martin says his county LIB
erty) would supply 100000 barrels an
nually, and I have no doubt that he is
correct. I am sure that, taking in that
section of Florida easily accessibly to
Savannah, and in which sugar cane can
be successfully grown, and including
the other counties in Georgia, we can
find at least forty counties that will
each produce as much syrup annually,
as will Liberty county. This would
bring 100000 barrels annually, or
enough to supply 2,OOO-barrel-
plant 4,000-a-day-hence OH see where
the supply coulo go to, based on Edi-
tor Martins figures. But, say that
Liberty could only produce $4,000 bar
re1s annually the estimate.
[ am sure we can get at least twenty
other counties that would produce for
market as much as Liberty. This
would make 100000 barrels annually,
or enough to supply 1000 barrel
plant 500 days.
Another estimate: Suppose Liberty
county only produces $4,000 barrels an
nually, one-eighth of Martins estimate.
We can certainly count twenty counties
that will furnish like amount. This
will make 100000 barrels, or enough to
keep a 1000 barrel plant going 500
days,
No, Mr.. Editor, put up the refinery.
There will be no lack of raw material.
Our farmers are anxious to grow the
cane and make the syrup. Assure them
of the market and they will do SO.
The refinery would work a revolu-
ton in South Georgia and North Flor
ida amongst the farmers, and would
enrich those owning and operating the
plant.

An Orlando Enterprise.-Somet time
since Mr.. Macy secured the right to
use the Sanford process for making
molosses and sugar using steam for
evaporating the juice. He secured a
fine iron mill for grinding the cane
and put up the apparatus for evaporat-
ing the juice, which consists of two
long wooden troughs connected at one
end, through which two pipes, to con-
duct steam, are placed in the bottom,
and at intervals of about two feet are
placed gates with holes covered with
fine wire. This filtered juice is turned
into the end of one of the evaporators
and the steam into the pipes and in
about five minutes is boiling as hard as
it can. The scum flows over into a
trough placed between the two evapor-
ators and is conducted in a tub. Almost
by the time the Juice arrives at the end
of the second evaporation it has boiled
down enough to become molasses and is
drawn off into tub or can; or it can be
boiled down until it will turn into sug-
ar.
A small engine runs the cane mill
and the juice is caught in barrel and
from there pumped up into large gal
vanized fllterer which contains charcoal
and moss placed in the second story of
the building. After passing through
the filterer it flows into a barrel just
above the the end of the wooden evap-
orator.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Macy an
nounced that he would make tr. ial of
his new machinery, and quite number
of our citizens who were interested
gathered at his place to witness the pro-
cess. The evaporators were filled with
water, so as to first scald them out, and
within five minutes after steam had
been turned on the water was boiling
violently in both evaporotors. The
water was then turned off and the fill
within fifteen or twenty minutes good
molasses was flowing out at the other
end, and soon after it was ready to
granulate into sugar.
Tuesdays work was more in the
nature of an experiment, as the process
was new to Mr.. Macy and he had to
learn just how to operate it successful
ly. Besides the cane was not thorough
ly ripe, and did not yield as much or as
rich juice as it should. But it showed
that it was a success and good syrup
could be produced, of fine flavor, and
very quickly. His mill got all the juice
from the cane and there was no waste
in the process.
He will be ready to make molasses
and sugar for all who have cane, by the
time it is ready to cut.
Our farmers should endeavor to
plant more cane the coming year, as
there is money in it when made into
molasses by this process. M.ror sugr

it stated that the uncertainty of sup

self government should favor forcible

that any one believing In the Christian
religion should favor the substitution
of force for reason In the extension OF
our nations influence.
"If we adopt the gunpowder gospel
In the Philippines, how long will it be
before the principle will be transplant
ed in American soil? So long as our
arguments are addresses to
reason and the heart, our
progress is sure, but can we,
without danger to Christianity, resort
to the ancient plan of injecting relig-
ion into the body through bullet holes?
"The question Is frequently asked,
What can we do? Not two months
elapsed between the signing OF the
treaty and the beginning of hostilities
in the Philippines. During that time
the President and congress might have
given to the Filipinos the same assur-
ance of independence that was given to
the Cubans. Such assurance would
have prevented bloodshed. II the doc
trine OF self-government is sound, the
Filipinos are entitled to govern them
selves, and the President can now
promise them independence as soon as
stable government can be estab-
lished.
eff the President is not willing to
take the responsibility of enforc-
ing the doctrine set forth In
the Declaration of Independence,
he can call congress together
and let it take the responsibility. A
special session would be less expensive
than the war, not to speak OF the prin-
ciples involved.
tour nation is protecting the repub-
lies of South America from outward
interference while they work out their
destiny. We can lend the same doc
trine to the Filipinos and save the in
habitants from foreign yoke, we can
guard them from molestation while
they develope republic in the Orient
They will be our friends instead of our
enemies; we can send school teachers
to Manila instead of soldiers, and the
world will know that there Is reality
in the theory of government promul-
gated at Independence hall, and defend

Fathers"

The Republican state conventions
one after another are declaring their
opposition to trusts Cleveland Lea
der.
And what does the declaration
amount to. The Columbus convention
declared vehemently against trusts and
gave Mr.. Monnett just one vote for re-
nomination. Mr.. Monnet had not only
declared against the trusts, but showed
by his diligent work that he was de-
termined to punish them. What has
Mr., McKinley's attorney general done
to enforce the antitrust laws? Moth
ing. What will he do? Nothing. Re-
publican convention declarations have
but one purpose, and that is to fool the

duty to let the prepared address go, and
relieve himself OF partisan one! He
talked about "throttling" members OF

when they needed a good strong man
to guide them, which is true. He then
said that President Mckinley was that

AN ATROCIOUs CRIME.

At the recent commencement exer-
cises Of Mt. Union college two OF the
graduating class chose "Imperialism"
as the subject of their orations. 1t
seems that these two young men COM
mitted an atrocious crime, not in the
selection OF the subject, but in the
treatment OF it. They held views con.
trary to President Mckinley, who is
trustee OF that institution. This, to
DR.. Nicely, of Philadelphia, who had
been invited to deliver an addres to the
senior class, seemed wantonly wicked
an offense for which there was no
mitigation--and the Rev. Doctor in
stead Of delivering his prepared ad-
dress relieved himself of partisan one
in which 1t appears he denied the right
of college graduate to hold views not
in consonance with the President of
the United States and especially when
the President happens to be trustee
OF the institution from which he grad
yates.
The Alliance Leader, published at
the seat of Mt. Union college, has this
to say with reference thereto and, the
Reviews defense of DR.. Neely;
The Review agrees with the Leader
that a college commencement 10 nc
place for an invited guest to air his po
litical views and in half-hearted, mis-
guided manner comes to the defense O

Leader did not criticise the two young
men who introduced political subjects
In the frat place, the Leader does no
make business OF finding fault with
the graduating addresses OF colleg'
students, since they are given thu
liberty of choosing any subject the,

MERCHANTS AND THE BOYCOTT.

The Cleveland Leader in an editor
ial on the above subject remarks:
"a woman who got off Big Consol-
idated car the other day was followed
into a down town store where she
wished to make purchase by two men
who warned the floorwalker not to sell
her anything. The foorwalker asked
why. because she came down town
on Big Consolidated car" was the
answer. "Well, we are in business
and we propose TO treat all customers
alike" said the hoorwalker. "It makes
no difference to us how they come TO
our store. One PERSONS money Is as
good as another's." IF you sell goods
to that woman we shall boycott you, ;"
was the threat "All right" said the
foorwalker, Ego ahead and boycott US,
and now If you do not get out OF
here at once will have you put out"
The boycotters skunk away, muttering
threats of vengence. That business
house Is to be congratulated on having
a hoorwalker of courage, common sense
and American independence. We are
sorry we are not permitted to name the
store. IL all business men would take
the same stand they would win the con.
fidence and respect of people whose
good opionions are worth having, and
the cruel and un-American boycott
would be killed inside of twenty-four
hours.
The Leader congratulates the bust
ness house on having a hoorwalker o
courage, &C., but in the next sentence
says that they are sorry they are no
permitted to name the store. Now, thC
Leader should give reasons why the,
are not permitted to give the name o
the store. A store having such
courageous hOorwalker should hav,
nothing to fear, especially so long a
the militia is stationed at Cleveland
Besides it is claimed by the Leade
that the majority OF the people O
Cleveland are in sympathy with tn
"Big Consolidated" and it would seer
that II the Leader were to give tn
name of the store having fioorwalke
with courage enough to pitch woma
out, the great majority would crowd t
that store, and the boycott" would b
broken. 1t is a great big mistake {
withhold the name OF the store.
