How Col. James Makes Money on
Syrup and Oats.

How Col. James Makes Money on
Syrup and Oats.
Adrian, Ga, May 29.-Capt. T. ]. James,
while known mostly as saw mill and
railroad man, is perhaps one of the most
successful farmers in the state, and by
far the most extensive and intensive in
this section of the state He has just
harvested and housed between $50 and
200 acres of oats. He cuts the oats with
a moving machine, cures, and then bales
it in the field. This is done to economic
on both labor and storage room.
Capt. james has for a few years been
experimenting with sugar cane, and as
result has produced as fine a syrup as
can be found anywhere lie prevents fer
mentation by a process of fltering the
juice before it is boiled. He says pure sac
charine matter contains nothing to fer
ment, and by properly filtering the cane
juice, the fermenting properties are elm
mated Capt. James has this year planted
about 125 acres in cane. He has a modern
cane mill and evaporator with daily
capacity of from four to five hundred
gallons. When running day and night
his output is 1000 to 100 gallons of pure
syrup, for which he gets from 40 to 90
cents per gallon. The barrel syrup he
sells for 40 cents. Quite a quantity of this
syrup is put up in quart, two-quart and
gallon cans, and retails for 60 cents per
gallon, The syrup in these cans keeps
fresh and tastes like new syrupfor a year
in fact, there is no telling how long this
cenned syrup would keep fresh. A ready
market is found for this syrup in Allan
ia and Macon The average yield per
acre on this plantation is about 400 gal
Ions, although Capt. James says he ris-
ed last year 651 gallons on three-fourths
of one acre. When it is taken into con-
sideration that small cost of production,
as compared to cotton culture, the stead
lily increasing demand for Georgia cane
syrup, the small risk to crop damage, the
time of year and length of time in which
you have to harvest the cane crop, why
should not the Southeast Georgia farmer
prosper in the cane production? Beside
his sugar cane Capt. James has this year
some 1900 acres in cotton. He has grown
and successfully cured tobacco, which
brought fancy price in the market He
also has quite a nice peach orchard which
produces as fine fruit as can be found be-
sides a good sized truck farm, the prod
ucts of which are consumed here in
Adrian.

FARMERS STOPPED A COURT.
Grass Was Growing and They want
ed Time to Chop IT Out.

ed Time to Chop 1t Out.
Dawson, Ga, May 29.-Judge III. c.
Sheffield convened Terrell Superior Court
Monday morning, and in half hour the
court was adjourned until the fourth Mon
day in July. This was due to the fact
that as soon as the judge reached town
he was beseiged by the farmers, who re-
quested that he postpone court until some
time in July. The farmers stated that,
owing to the backward season, the mis-
fortunes that have befallen the crops
lately, and the heavy rains, which have
started the grass to growing. several days
away from their work just now would be
almost ruinous.
Tax Collector Thornton has made his
final settlements with the state and coun-
ty for taxes collected the past year. For
the county he has collected $S,523.H gen.
era1 tax, leaving $62.14 insolvent county
tax. He also collected $526.O3 as taxes
from railroads. For the state he collect
ed SIS so general tax, leaving $95.04 in
solvent tax.
The City Council has employed County
Surveyor Waller for the purpose of sur
yeying the town and definitely fixing the
city's boundaries. Uncertainty exists as
to the towns boundaries, and it is be-
ueved that the new survey will give Daw-
son a population of $780, instead of 5000,
as II now Is.
Fruit growers of Terrell county have
begun the shipment Of peaches to the
Northern markets.
Farmers are in Dawson nearly every
day, looking for hands to chop cotton.
In every section of the county there is
COMPLAINT OF not enough laborers TO sup
ply the demand, and on some farms the
situation is serious.
Glen Jones, a negro who has been in
Jail awaiting trial for murder, was re-
leased Monday on a $3.50 bond.
In oil probability Dawson will soon have
a large broom factory. Mr.. c. b. Beck,
who is operating a plant of that kind In
Cuthbert, was in the city Friday for the
ntrpose of looking over the field with a
view to moving his plant here. and be-
fore leaving he said he was almost GER
tain that the change would be made HIS
enterprise has a capacity OF over 500
brooms per day.

Did He Strike Oil

Dublin. Ca, May sO.-The Constitution
OF Tuesday contained an article to the

She was put down as having two chill
dren, one of whom is a newsboy Her
name is given at Mrs. Anna Thweatt Lu-
cas-, daughter of Hon. Charles T. Thweatt

discoverer OF the oil fields at Beaumont,
is not named Anna Thweat Lucas, but
Carrie Fitzgerald Lucas. She is the
daughter of the late DR. r. T. Fitzgerald
OF Macon, and Is now at Dahlonega,

SUING MOTHER EDDY.
Mrs. Woodbury. Wants Damages
From Head of Christian Scientists.

Boston, May 2s.-The preliminary trial
of Josephine A. Woodbury. of this city,
claiming $4,000 damages from Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian
Scientists cult. for libel was begun in the
Suffolk county Superior Court here to-
day. The suit was brought by Mrs Wood
bury on the ground that two years ago
Mrs. Eddy in a message to the First
Christian Science Church here, published
in local paper, had libelled Mrs. Wood
bury when she used the words: THE
doom of Babylonish woman referred to in
the book of Revelations is being full
filed"
Previous to this Mrs. Woodbury. had
been communicated by the church. In
her answer, Mrs. Eddy admits that the
particular address was delivered on the
days and at the times named in the dec
laration of the plaintiff, but declares that
neither Mrs. Woodbury. nor any other hu-
man being was meant by the term
"Babylonish woman" the phrase being
simply 20 describe type of sin.
Mr.. Peabody said that large number
of the witnesses in the court for the de-
Tense believed in Mrs. Eddy as a marvel
GUS woman, second only 10 Christ, ana
that they were prompted to stand by her
religious motives. He asked that they be
excluded from the court room. Judge Bell
refused to grant Mr.. Peabody's request.
Mr.. Peabody read a letter purporting to
have been addressed to Mrs. Woodbury.
by Mrs. Eddy. in which Mrs. Eddy
complained that she had been I'M
justly treated by Mrs. Woodbury.
and quoted from alleged conversations
with her wherein she (Mrs. Woodbury.
virtually admitted that her conduct in the
past had not been entirely blameless.
Mrs. Eddy claimed in this letter that she
was not responsible for Mrs. Woodbury. s
dismissal. The letter concluded with the
following:
How dare you, in the sight of God and
with your character behind the curtain
and your own students ready to lift it ON
you, pursue the faith of heresy."

SUBURBAN RECKEY.

Col. OIdbnd, OF Atlanta, Tells How
to Make n "Ne Plus Ultra" Palate
Ticker.
From the New York sun.
Col. Alfred oldbad, OF Atlanta, Ga, who
has been spending some time in this city,
announced to his friends yesterday that
he hid devised a new and improved
rlckty that was, as he said. the me plus
ulster Of Mythology" Col. Oldbad said that
he had given great deal of thought to
the composition OF the common or gar
den variety OF rickey. which was invent
ed by Col Joe Hickey, and that he had
made up his mind that IL could be inn
proved, although many OF his friends dill
not think so. They said that the hickey,
as IL was completed by its famous inven-
tor, was perfect Col. Oldbad said that he
thought that they were wrong. He went
TO work to prove that they were. and the
result Of his labors was drink that he
named the Suburban Hickey"
To produce II the mixologist takes a
rickey glass and puts in the bottom of II
two strawberries. The berries must be
largo and sound, with a perfect flavor.
The mixologlst brushes the berries, being
careful, however, not to grind them to a
pulp. When they are entirely crushed the
Juice OF a lime and half Of a squeezed
limo are added. Then the requisite amount
OF rye whisky IS put in and the glass Is
filed with carbonated water.
Some mere bartenders have fallen into
a habit OF putting vichy or even settler
IN rickeys Such bartenders seldom reach
Oh age. Nothing but plain water carbon
atod Is allowed by rickey experts, and the
effect OF a Suburban Hickey Is ruined II
any other kind is used. The juices OF the
strawberry combine perfectly with the
Juice Of the lime, and the result OF the
mixture has been applauded by all tho
experts who have been asked to pass
judgment on 81.
Col. Oldbad spent yesterday introducing
the new drink TO the men whom he con-
sdered TO be worthy Of II. The price OF
stra wberrles suitable for use In the bev-
erage rose several points during the af-
ternoon. There Was some talk of present
ing a testimonial to Col. Oldbad, but he
begged his friends not 10 do this. saving
that their happiness was reward enough
for him.

CROPS IN FINE CONDITION.
Young Farmer Near Odum Loses
Horses by Peculiar Accident.

Horses by Peculiar Accident.
Odum, Ga. May 29.-Mr. Henry Clary,
a prominent young farmer. living three
miles from here, had the misfortune to
loose a fine horse a few days ago. The
horse, in lying down in the stable, got
his head fastened between the feed bin
and the wall and broke his neck. The
accident occurrd in Tattnall county Mr.
Clary and his wife having gone there on
a visit.
The crops In this section are
all looking exceedingly well just
now, the recent rains having done a
great amount of good. The oat crop is
now being harvested and is the best crop
for years. Cotton is about all brought to
a stand and is in fine growing condition.
Part of the crop is late, owing to many
of the farmers blowing up and planting
again after the recent cold. The
cane and minor crops are very
promising. Many of the farmers here
have planted a small acreage in Jackson
lImbless cotton this year. Some few plant
ed small amount last season, and the
experiment proved to be very satisfactory.
Mr.. Bishop made two bales to the acre.
