SUGAR REFINERY AT TAMPA.


Tampa, according to our dispatches, is
to have a sugar refinery that is to cost
81, 900, 900. 1t is proposed to get the raw
sugar from Cuba. 1t is probable, however,
that much of the raw material will be OBJ
tanned from Florida and Georgia in the
form of syrup.
There is no doubt that this refinery will
give a great impetus TO the growing of
sugar cane in Florida, and perhaps in this
state. Unless sugar from Cuba should
be admitted free of duty cane for sugar
making purposes could be grown profit
ably in both this state and Florida. The
cane that is grown in these states now is
for syrup and it yields a good return to
those who cultivate it. The prices OBJ
tanned for syrup last year made the cane
crop a very profitable one If for refining
purposes as good prices could be obtained
for syrup as We're obtained last year, or
If prices considerably lower-say 20 cents
a gallon-could be obtained, South Georgia
and large part of Florida would be COW
cred with fields of cane.
An earnest effort was made a few
months ago to get sugar refinery in this
city. Those who were Interested in it
thought that South Georgia would furnish
enough syrup TO keep a large refinery in
operation the greater part of the year.
There was also an effort to get capital
for refinery to refine Cuban sugar. Both
efforts failed. mainly because of the fear
that the sugar trust would antagonize
refinery here
1t seems however that no such fear is
felt by those who are promoting the re-
finery that is to be built in Tampa. 1t is
probable that there was never any reas-
enable ground to fear that the sugar trust
would attempt to interfere with a refin-
cry here
1t is a question whether the capital for
refinery here would not have been Sc
cured long before this if our business men
had gone to work earnestly to get 1t at
the time the refinery matter was under
discussion. Savannah has fully as many
advantages as Tampa for a refinery for
refining Cuban sugar Sugar could be
brought here as cheaply as 1t can be
taken to Tampa from Cuban ports, and
the means here for distributing the refined
sugar are superior to those of Tampa.
The government selected this port In pref
erence TO any other for the shipment of
troops and supplies to Cuba, indicating
that its advantages for communicating
with Havana and other points in Cuba
are superior to other American ports.
The projected refinery at Tampa in all
probability, will be successful, and Sa-
vannahs business men will have occasion
to regret that they were so Indifferent to
the effort to secure a refinery here Would
il not be advisable to make some inquiry
relative TO the plans for the Tampa re-
finery and the prospects for its success?
There may stin be a chance for getting a
refinery here. one is needed TO handle
Georgia syrup-to make market for il.
With both South Georgia and Cuba to
draw upon for the raw material re-
hnery here could be kept busy all the
year round.

A dispatch says that 81. Louis is about
houses. The houses are to be made in
sections and boiled together, and so ar
ranged that a foundation can be readily
prepared for them almost anywhere. The
idea of their use is 10 keep up with the
shifting school population without having
to build new school house every time
the population changes its location. The
idea of portable school houses is some
thing of a novelty. The scheme may
work all right in ST. Louis, but it may be
doubted if it would do at all for a city.

There is afoot in New York a scheme
20 have a petition in favor of the Beers
signed by the school children of that
city. The movement is a very foolish
one. The average school child knows
nothing under the sun respecting the mer-

them no doubt have a vague idea that
the Beers are black savages. Indeed. the
probabilities are that the majority of the
white adults of this country have but a
nebulous idea OF what the war In South
Africa is about

The Spanish government has caused it
TO be made known at Washington that it
would be willing to sell the great floating
dry dock at Havana for 100000. Some
months ago this government offered Spain
$685., 600 for the dock. and the offer was re-
fused At that time the money to pay
for the dock could have been secured from
the national defense fund, but it is said it
would now be necessary 10 call upon Con-
gress for an appropriation. 1t is believed
to be unlikely that any steps will be taken
to secure the dock for the government,
This leaves the way open for the negotia-
tions Of the gentlemen who have been
talking of buying the dock and bringing 1t
to Savannah.

commanders TO judge whether or not they
shall make use of the subterfuge in deal

with such modification Of the law,
it would be a very easy matter to elm
mate inferior textbooks from our
schools 1t is my Judgment that such
modification could be made without in
any way impairing the validity Of the
law or the primary object Of state uni
f0rmity. We would still have uni
fOrmity, but it would be upon a higher,
broader and safer basis. The text
book commission should be authorized
to satisfy itself fully from time to time
in regard to the relative merits Of the
books adopted and in use This could
be done by a. legal enactment requiring
county and city superintendents to re-
port at a specified time to the state su-
perintendent in regard TO the relative
merits of each and every book adopted
by the commission. Such report would
form an intelligent and correct Dasls
for the guidance of the commission, and
upon this report the commission would
base its action With such provision,
the uniformity law would stimulate and
strengthen the educational work Of the
state.
Il also believe that better books would
be secured, and at more reasonable
prices than at present. by an economical
readjuStInent of present schedule prices
1t should be observed that under a
proper readjuStment no book would be
so cheap as to make it inferior or worth
less and no advance in price would be
made that would in any way become
burdensofne. According to the schedule
in the present uniformity law. the
price of some Of the books is 50 low that
it is impossible to secure a good book,
and in some cases the price is higher
than is really necessary in order to In
sure a. good book Under proper and
conservative readjustment the sum
total paid for all the books in use in
our schools would be about thirty cents
less than at present and better books
would be secured. 1t seems TO me that
a measure Of this kind would remedy
many of the difficulties that we have
encountered in our school work during
the last few years.
s'As teachers and educators we rep
resent the people, not only in the daily
routine OF class room work, but IN that
larger field Of public service which in
vokes our aid in the securing Of legis-
lation which will protect and advance
the largest interests Of the people and
the schools. A most sacred work has
been placed in our hands The influence
of our schools enters 50 largely into the
life Of the people and into the character
of our social institutions, that It seems
to me school legislation on this ques-
ton especially should challenge the
most earnest attention Of our legislative
body"
