Georgia Cane syrup.

Editor Morning News: II is with great

that is being done by Capt. d. G. Purse
in behalf of South Georgia as a sugar
producing section.
While sugar making is the ultimate aim
OF the larger sugar cane planters, we
have as yet not single sugar house In
che state, but Georgia Is now producing
the finest table syrup on the market with
only one excepuon-pure maple syrup. BY
using improved machinery and adopting
better methods In clarifying our juices
we can make a syrup from our sugar cane
that will rival maple syrup In flavor and
appearance.
The unusual good demand and conse-
ouent high price at which our syrup has
sold during the last two seasons Is am
pie proof that we have an aricle that
has merit. We now see In almost every
city IN the state, firms advertising them
selves as refiners Of Georgia syrup This.

Pekin Letter in Leslies Weekly.
For twenty-five years Ii Hung Chang
was viceroy of the province of Chih-H
that surrounds the capital. He was guar
dian of the Emperor, and every official
from any part of the empire who was
called up for an audience with the throne
or any of the governmental departments
during those long years, was forced to
pay tribute to Earl Ii. That he has TAX
EN- advantage of this magnificent oppor-
tunity to squeeze" all mandarins of high
or low degree Is not doubted. In addition
the old earl is known as the greatest own
err of pawnshops in China. For the last
quarter of a century he has habitually
invested all his capital in the pawnbrok-
ing business. His income from this source
must have been enormous, since the ordi-
nary business rates of interest in China
range from twenty to thirty per cent.
1t has been freely charged against Earl
Ii that his agreement to the large indem-
nifty paid to Japan at abe close of the re-
cent war was secured by ways that were
peculiarly Oriental, and which added
largely to the viceroy's cash resources
This same thing has been charged against
him in connection with the agreements
made with Russia. 1t is said that the
old earl was forced to part with large
sums in order to secure his audience with
the Empress Dowager when he was dis
graced after the japanese war, but that
he surrendered a sum large enough to en-
barrass him, or that bears any appreci-
able proportion 10 the total he had been
accommodating for so many years, is not
probable. 1t is said that the viceroy's
chief fear at present is that he may die
before the indemnities for the recent out
RACES have been settled, and thus be de-
prived of what he regards as the chance
of his lifetime.
Some idea of the possibilities of such ac-
emulation that come to Chinese off,
cial may be gathered from the fact that
Liang-Ki, who was prime minister dur
ing the reign OF Emperor Hwan IT, ac-
cumulated one of the greatest fortunes
which we have record In history. His ar
rogance and exactlons increased with his
wealth until they were both unbeara bic,
and the Emperor ordered him killed. His
treasures Of money which had caused his
destruction were seized and confscated to
the state, and when they were counted
II was found that they amounted to over
300 100000 taels. The addition of this i'm
mense sum to the imperial treasury re-
suited In such a plethora OF royal funds
that throughout the whole empire all
taxes were RENTED for one year.

Louisiana sugar experiment station, says
that pure cane syrup will ferment when
exposed to the germs Of the atmosphere"
and the mere fact that the so-called RE
fined" syrups are recommended and, In
some cases. guaranteed not to ferment,
Is a proof that 1t is aduiterated with
either glucose or chemicals. The only
way in which fermentation can be
prevented during warm weather is by
excluding the air from the syrup and that
necessitates the use of some alright re-
ceptacie.
Cairo shipped during the past season
about 10000 barrels of syrup. This was
shipped all over the United States-from
Massachusetts to Texas.
We have this year planted within two
miles of this place, enough cane to keep
through the entire grinding season.
Next year the acreage will probably be
doubled
Larger and better machinery for han
ding our crops will come of necessity in
the near future.
By carefully conducted experiments dur
ing our last grinding season, II was clear
ly proven that we are now losing at least
25 per cent. of the Juice Of the cane in
the manufacture of syrup on our present
small mills.
This means loss to our local farmers
on last seasons crop Of 1850 barrels, and
at SO Darrell (the average price at which
it was Sold, of $22,50O. This amount
alone would equip a syrup house with all
necessary modern machinery with a ca
pactty of 200 barrels of syrup per day,
and double this amount would equip
modern sugar house with a capacity Of
half as many barrels Of sugar.
There Is something else that lie badly
needed by the farmers OF the wiregrass
region of the state--an experiment sta
ton to test farm crops peculiar to our
locality and soil Louisiana has three
one in the southern portion of the state,
one in the central, and one in the north
ern part.
Let our State Legislature at its next
annual meeting establish sugar ex
pertinent station in South Georgia, and
offer a bounty, similar to New York. of
/ cent a pound on all sugar produced
in the state, and It will not be Ave years
before we shall have an almost unprece-
denied boom in the lower half Of the
state.

BUTTERFLIES For PARKS.

These Candy Insects to BE Supplied
I'm London as an Attraction.
From the London Daily Mail.
The Parks Committee of the London
County Council is considering an inter
esting proposal, namely, the Introduction
of butterflies into the enclosures under
its jurisdiction. The suggestion, which it
seems probable will be carried out was
made by Mr.. C. J. Longman of Paternos-
ter row. His plan Of action seems quite
workable. and he has wisely chosen three
butterflies to begin with whose require
ments are not very great, which are
very prolific and which are among the
most handsome of our more common spe-
cies.
The insects in question are the red
adiral," with its velvety black wings Dor
dered with red and white; the peacock"
with it's famous eyes" and the pretty
little "tortoiseshen" The food plant
upon which the caterpilalrs live is the
same in all cases, being the singing net
tie. Those familiar with the insect life
Of country lanes know well the clusters
of hairy black-looking larvae. All that
will be required at first will be planta-
tions of nettles, enclosed for protection
sake. upon which host of eggs or young
grubs will be placed. The caterpillare are
of the hairy kind, unpalatable to many
birds, but it would be wise if precautions
were adopted TO prevent the ubiquitous
sparrow from acquiring a taste for them,
as he has done for many of the plants
cultivated in the parks,
1t may be objected that many of the
butterflies will make use of their wings
and betake themselves to the country.
Possibly a number WILL but it will be easy
in all probability to raise them in great
quantities When they from time to time
emerge from their chrysalides they are
bound to fly about the parks for some
time and take advantage of any honey
producing flowers that they may meet
upon their way out.
