lence. and each planter makes his own
grade. The prices received vary from
year to year, just now being 20 cents per
gallon OF good quality syrup.
The idea that sugar might be produced
protitably from this cane Is now being ag-
itated by Capt. D. G. Purse, president Of
the Savannah Board of Trade In the fan
of 1883 he gathered samples of cane from
some sixty counties and had them anal
yzed by Prof. w. c. Stubs a the Louis
lana Sugar Experiment Station The av-
erage Of all the tests was: Total solids
(brix), 1884; sucrose. 1911; glucose, 2.J4;
solids not sugar, 1.1s; glucose ratio, 1880;
co-etticiency of purity, S28 Prof Stubs
says: These canes have suffered from
inversion in transit 1t is fair 10 presume
that had no inversion occurred the aver
age analysis would have shown at least
Is per cent. sucrose and per cent. glu
oose. This analysis would indicate 225
pounds chemically pure sugar per ton upon
a 70 per cent, extraction and 240 pounds on
an 80 per cent extraction. The best
sample indicates a yield of 249.6 pounds q.
p. sugar per ton of cane, with rs per
cent. extraction and 266 pounds per ton
80 per cent. extraction"
The Georgia cane has been grown in
such careless way that it is not posi-
bic to definitely estimate the yield per
acre under Intelligent and careful cul-
ture; bat ordinary crops, roughly handled,
are generally supposed to give ten or
| twelve tons per acre, but yields of thirty
tons per acre are obtained by some grow
ers. 1t is successfully grown in all parts
of Southern Georgia and in fully half the
state. 1t grows on all kinds of lands up
lands and poor clays as well as low land.
the percentage of sugar being larger from
upland cane Capt. Purse considers the
sugar possibilities of Southern Georgia
and Northern Florida as almost unlimited.
If sufficient acreage can be secured it is
intended to erect modern sugar factory
for the proper handling of the cane farm
ers being paid by the ton of cane accord
ing to the sugar content. The price prob
ably would not be less than So or $3.50
per ton. This promises the planter a re-
turn at least four times larger than he
now gets from cotton, even when cotton
sells at cents as it does just now.
Just now this prospective industry is in
state of uncertainty, depending upon
the action Of Congress regarding the tariff
upon West Indian sugar If the present
tariff is maintained with Porto Rico, Cuba
and the British West Indies, a sugar boom
win be seen in all parts of Southern Geor-
gia, but if these islands are TO have a
free or freer access to our markets this
incipient sugar enterprise will be killed

Goat Growing in OsceoIn.

Stock growing in Osceola county is not
confined to cattle sheep and hogs, says a
Florida paper. Goats are also being rails
ed with successful results. l.. d. Gra-
ham, who is a very versatile farmer, has
a herd of goats, so has Barney SILVER,
and there are smaller punches scattered
about Mr. Graham bought about seven
ty-five head last May; he has now double
that number. Most of the increase came
on Christmas day when nearly al the
NAMES had twin kids all at once. He was
forced to spend Christmas nursing this
army of kids all day.
Mr.. SILVER started five years ago with
fourteen head; now his herd numbers
nearly 200.
Both of these gentlemen are believers in
goats, These animals will live anywhere
and fatten on anything, palmetto, wire
grass. trees, shrubs or sticks. They are
not fence burglars and do not annoy the
neighbors as hogs do. Their meat is first
rate to eat, many people preferring it to
mutton. If bred to an angora ram their
fleece is worth from 20 to 70 cents. They
are singularly prolific breeders, kidding
twice year and always twins. The only
objection 10 them is their rank SINE /,
which makes them unpleasant near a
house

FRANCHISE GRANTED
BY the County Commissioners of BEL
mont for the Bridgeport and Cam
bridge Electrical Railway.


bridge Electrical Railway.
The County Commissioners of Bel
mont county yesterday granted the pro-
motors of the proposed electric rail-
way from Cambridge to Bridgeport, a
franchise along the National Road in
Belmont county. The property owners
along the proposed route gave their
consent and by the terms OF the fran
chise the road is to be in operation
within eighteen months. It is said the
prospects for building this road are
very bright. This line has been talk
ed of for some time. At first the pro-
moters expected to build the road to
Columbus, but now have decided to
make its western terminus at cam
bridge. a report current is that it is
backed by Eastern capitalists.
1t will require some hustling to have
the road in operation in eighteen
months. The route covers a thickly
populated county, passing through
many small towns and it is thought by
many tht it viii be paying line from
the start.

utes from sorrowing friends, all mute
ly attesting the tender regard and high
esteem in which she was held The
services were most impressive. The
officiating clergyman was the Rev. Da-
vid A. Cunningham, ID. D., pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, of
which Mrs. Rice was a member. He
was assisted by the Rev. C. H. Molony,
pastor of the Zane Street NJ. E. Church.
A touching feature Of the services
at the house was the rendition of the
same hymns, abide With Me-" and
Some Sweet Day." which were sung
just three months ago at the funeral
of Mrs. Rice's mother, Mrs. James
Stanton. The music was in charge Of
Mr.. Archie A. Taylor, of ST. Lukes P.

This is the motto on the letter head

is indicative of the character of the
men. Mr.. Bush himself had quite an
experience with food in relation to
health, as he was refused insurance
three years ago because the examining
physician found he had Bright's dis
ease and could only live short time
at the best.
My own physician suggested that
make radical change in diet. About
that time my attention was called to
Grape Nuts food, and l began with doc
tors permission to use this food. Of
course | had been forbidden the use
o sugar or starchy food, but my doctor
knew that Grape-Nuts was composed
of the starch of wheat and barley
transformed into grape sugar and in
this condition is easily digested
ITO make a long story short, Grape
Nuts has been constant dish at my

doing hard days work every day"
So much for pure food, properly Sc

disease in the category of human ills
but what can be helped by the use of
pure food of this character. and most
of the ordinary diseases can be cured.

BLEEDING PILES


by Pyramid Pile Cure.
Thousands of men and women
suffer from some form of piles
without either knowing the exact
nature of the trouble, or knowing
it, carelessly allow it to run with
out using the simple means of a
radical cure.
The failure of salves and ONT
ment to cure piles has led many
sufferers to believe the only per-
manent cure to be surgical oper-
alton, but surgical operations are
dangerous to life and moreover
very expensive and by no means
always or even often, successful.
The safest and surest way to cure
any case of piles. whether itching,
protruding. or bleeding, is to use
the Pyramid Pile Cure, composed
of healing vegetable oils. and abb
solutely free from mineral poisons
and opiates.
Mr. VIM. Handschu, of Pittsburg,
Pa, after suffering severely from
bleeding piles, writes as follows:
Il take pleasure writing these
few lines to let you know that
did not sleep for three months ex-
cept for short time each night
because of a bad case of bleeding
piles. was down in bed and doc
tors did me no good.
A good brother told me of the
Pyramid Pile Cure and | bought
from my druggist three fifty cent
boxes. They completely cured me
and will soon be able to go to my
work again
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not
only the safest and surest pile
remedy but it is by far the widest
and most popular. because so many
thousands have tried it and found
it exactly as represented.
Every physician and druggist in
the country knows the Pyramid
Pile Cure and what it will do.
Send to Pyramid Drug Co., Mar
shall, Mich, for little book on
Cause and Cure of Piles mailed
free to any address, or better yet,
get fifty cent box of the remedy
itself at the nearest drug store and
try it tonight.
