Tampa Times: If the whipping boss
Of the convict camp made the statement
attributed to him by the morning paper
to-day, he lied. And if he did not make
the statements, then the writer of the ar
ticle lied. Capt. Smith did call at the
office OF the Times yesterday and ask that
a reporter be sent to camp with him 10
make an investigation; and he did oner
TO nav the expenses of the man, but was
Informed that he would not be permitted
to do so-that the Times pays the wages
and expenses of the people who work Tor
it always The statement that the editor
of the Times quoted a reputable physician
as saving that the scars upon Miller
back were eighteen months old is abso-
lutcly false The editor of the Times did
not say anything of the kind, nor any
thing that could be so construed. The
editor of the Times did say to Smith, as
he had previously said to Reason Hender-
son, Smiths employer, that all he wanted
was the truth. That If the statement OF
the convict Jim Miller. are true, the con-
victs should be taken away from these
contractors, and they should be properly
punished for their brutality. On the other
hand. If the statements are not true, the
contractors and their overseer should be
vindicated and that this paper would
give all the space necessary for this pur-
nose. The people may rest assured that
they will get the whole truth about this
matter before the Times drops it,

RAILROADS. AND SUGAR.

Macon Telegraph: Next to the farmers
and the manufacturers the railroads will
derive more direct benefit from the de
velopment of the sugar-making industry
IN Georgia than any other portion of the
community. This fact is as easy demon
strable as that two and two make four.
The aim of the railroad is to develop in
the country tributary to it's lines the
greatest amount of tonnage possible. 1t
is by freight that railroads live and from
the same acreage in cotton and in cane
the business for the railroad is as ! to Is
on the most conservative estimate These
figures will show the facts and they are
we'll worth the study of the head of ev-
cry railroad operating in Middle and
South Georgia: The weight of the cot
ton crop on an acre Of average Georgia
land is not more than 800 pounds. OF this
200 pounds is lint and 400 pounds seed.
The railroads get to haul, therefore from
an acre in cotton 200 pounds to tidewater
and some portion of the 400 pounds of
seed to the nearest cotton seed oil mill.
An acre in sugar can on average land will
produce not less than fifteen tons, 10000
pounds, Of cane from which will be made
not less than $500 pounds Of sugar. This
sugar must be hauled to market and the
railroads will get as much mileage from
it as from the lint cotton, which would
make the difference in favor of the SUI
gar as ] to 171a. While the raw cane
would not perhaps be hauled as many
miles to the sugar mill as the cotton seed
is to the oil mill the enormous difference
in weight from a maximum Of 400 in the
case Of cotton seed TO a minimum of 10000
In the case Of sugar cane would make
Inc difference in freight returns TO the
railroads as great as It is between the
product of the two ready for market.

LITTLE SHOW FoR ANNEXATION.

From what can be learned there are few
if any friends in the Florida Legislature
favorable to the ceding of what is known
as West Florida to Alabama, but it would
seem that there are many in Alabama
and that active measures are being hatch
ed in that state, TO be smothered In flor-
ida, for annexation. The Legislature OF
Alabama was hoo-dooed into passing an
act authorizing the governor of that state
r. ON a commission to confer with
Florida commission as 10 terms of annex
alton. but it may turn out that no COM
mission will be authorized or appointed.
Gov. Jennings takes no stock in any such
scheme. Last Friday Gov. Sanford OF
Alabama in accordance with the act OF
the Legislature of that state, appointed
W. l.. Martin of Montgomery Samuel
Blackwell of Decatur, and r. c. Jones OF
Camden. a commission on the part of Ala
bama to confer with a similar commission
from Florida.

Gainesville News: What is termed the
floating vote, cut no figure whatever in
the campaign for municipal officers which
closed yesterday. 1t was very properly
made manfestly plain from the Inaugural
tion of the campaign that there would be
no opportunity for the sale of votes. This
caused the usually disturbing element to
lose all interest, and this was followed
by a peaceful, quiet and orderly cam
paign. For the first time in the history OF
Gainesville the tricksters, the bummers
and the scum were sat upon and COM
pletely squelched, compelling them to see
themselves as others have been looking
at them for many years. This is as 1t
should be. Let those who would, il they
could, seli their votes. severely alone nhd
at future elections they will go around as
they have during the campaign just clos
ed with elongated faces indicative OF
trouble bordering on despair.
