AN ALABAMA POET

The News has very valuable corre- spondent a an Alabama town, whose fancy
 often runs to verse; and when he gets real ly in line with the muse he is most inter- esting. The killing of General Lawton brings al lof his inspiration to the surface,
 and he lets her fly. Here is what he sends us:
 GENERAL LAWTON. Twas thus well, brave Lawton fell, Upon the heathern land: Citizens, think of the shot and shell That struck the noble man, Brz! bug! went the noisy shot, Into his body sell; Young soldiers, you can tell me not How brave Lawton fell From the shell the shot was screaming, Upon the battle field, The boys in blue were fighting. When brave Lawton, he did kneel Across the sea. far into the lea The boys in blue were fighting; Soldiers, think, when you see, Of brave Lawton dying.
 This will doubtless remind our readers that Byron, Tom Moore, Tennyson, and long list of other illustrous poets once lived, and that they occasionally wrote poetry. We have another poem from this same contributor on a different subject that is equally as good as this, and shows that he has real genius. The man who can get his muse to work right on the sen- atoria fight in Alabama is certainly an inspired genius, and reminds us that
 Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush un-
 seen.
 And waste it's sweetness on the desert air."
 He absolutely chases the senatorial con- test with his poets pen. and tells how Sen- ator Morgan is going to wipe the ground up with his opponents. The poem has been submitted to Senator Morgan, and is in- dorsed by him as being in line with his sen- timents. Just as soon as the space can be spared, this Morgan poetry will be printed and when it reaches Alabama, why every candidate but the old senator will stand from under. It is a deadener. and no mis- take,

White Paper Trust and Duty.

The Fulton. Mo, Sun is distressed over the duty 6n paper, six dollars ton, which has enabled the paper trust to shove up the price of paper unmercifully. Paper that cost 1860 in 1899 will cost $2 1S0 in 1900. The difference, the Sun claims takes away all profits in many newspaper offices.
 The Sun appeals to all for help. Many papers will be forced to the wall it says, if relief is not forthcoming; and it proceeds to show that tax on paper isl a tax on in- telligence, which is a true enough chest nut. but it is chestnut that will@nake no impression on the thiekened conscience of the sworn supporters of the Mckinley tariff. The Sun says its senior senator and several Missouri representatives are stand ing behind its movement for a repeal of the duty on paper, quite forgetting that 1t is attacking the entire ring of tariff bene- ficiaries in a congress that is republican in both branches.
 The Sun is sound and honest and indis- putably right, but it has no more chance than a come-on has. It is appealing to the confederates of a gang of robbers, many of which it enumerates in one of it's circulars. The jury is packed against the plucky Sun, and all in this world if can dn S to anneaf to the big jury which consists of all the people. In the course of time the big jury will upset such a scheme robbery the tax on paper unmistakably is. The tax put consumers heavily for the benefit of trust.

Beet Pulp for Feeding.

The feeding value of beet pulp
should be considered worthy of
special consideration among sheep
men. Four tons OF beet pulp are
equal in value to one ton of good
alfalfa hay'. A ton of beet pulp
occupies approximately thirty Gu:
bic fec. of space. The value OF
beet pulp il somewhat improved
bv souring and the statement was
made by Professor Cooke that
bee, pulp is better for stock than
the hcets themselves inasmuch ns
any foreign salts that maybe in
the beet are washed out in the
mixing OF sugar. hence increns-
ing the feeding value of the pulp.
Six to ten pounds is the proper
ration for sheep ON full feed. Al.
fa,fa hay and beet pulp are used
largely for fattening but it is adj
visablc TO finish oil for th. last
two or three weeks on dry feed,
smell ma corn or corn meal.

one THOUSAND
TONS DAILY
Of Sugar Beets Are Being Converted
Into the Finest Of Beet
Sugar.

The sugar factory machinery
continues to move like the best Of
clockwork. Every "a hours 1000
tons (2,OO0,0OO pounds) Of beets
are transformed into sugar Of high
grade. The product Of the factory
is in steady demand and large
shipments are constantly being
made to jobbing houses in widely
separated portions of the west.
The first shipments Of sugar
were in California bags, but now all
sugar going from the factory shows
that it is the product Of the Amer
ican Beet Sugar Co. of Rocky
Ford.
The aggregate tonnage Of the
valley will not be mp to the first
estimates. One cause of this is
that many growers, fearful of the
financial result, did not measure
big acres (but quite small ones)
when planting the crop Next
year that feature OF beet culture
will not be known. There is a
general intention To increase the
acreage. US tho profits have been
unexpectedly large.
The terms OF the contracts for
1901 will he more favorable for
the grower than those for tho first
ycnr. For the low grade bcets
n higher rate will he pnid, and the
amount paid for siloins increased
to 10 cents per ton. Holders OF

trnc, aud making n new one for
