Sc has been found for wire

his nuisance" may become a
ralua bic product of the soil. AS
the grass grows in abundance in
lis State we clip the following
f'-om the Savannah News. There
are suggestions in it that may
rut some enterprising North
Carolinian to thinking and re-
alt in a new and profitable in
oustry for our State:
awe noted some time ago the
"rection of a plant in H1ooklyu
for the utilization of wire 9rass
the manufacture of furniture
and other articles. The plant is
low at work and turning out
~om- very artistic pieces Of
furniture, as we'll as Inattings
ind coarse Irvine. Later it Is
proposed to twist Some Of the
twine into ropes. The belief IS
expressed that the wire grass
ropes will be found strong and
durable, and of less cost than
hemp or jute.
"The matter of the utilization
Of wire grass is of interest to
South Georgia for the reason
that there are thousands Of acres
and hundreds of thousands OF
tons of the material in this sect
ion awaiting the coming of en-
terprising developers. 1t is safe
to say that the supply is exhaust~
less, since crop after crop would
follow the harvesting, without
planting or cultivation. v ire
grass lands are to be had at a
very low figure, SO that the
harvesting and transportation OF
the grass TO factory would be
about ali of the expense attack
ed to the procurement of the raw
material. No chemical process
whatever is made use of in pre-
pairing the wire grass for manu-
facture. 1t is merely cut ana
cured bv careful drying. then,
when 1t has been assorted, the
long hbres being separated from
the short ones, it is ready for
use.
"Nearly all Georgians, and
certainly all South Georgians,
are familiar with the wire grass
'fanuers' and other baskets made |
and used on the plantations. |
These baskets last a lifetime,
and may be kept as clean and |
sweet as dinner plate all the i!
time. The usual method of wire
grass basket making is to form
rolls Of the grass varying in size
from an eighth of an irch to
three-ouarters of an inch In
diane ter. according to the pur~
pose of the basket. These rolls |
are bound with trim and pliable
white oak strips, and from the
rolls the basket is constructed.
In the making of furniture a
somewhat similar process is fol
lowed. The material readily
lends itself to fancy designs. and
when the chair. or whatever it
may be. has been finished it pre-
sents a richness Of color that
surpasses cane aud bamboo
The wire grass furniture is light
clean, cool, strong and tough.
These are qualities sought by
every housewife in the selection
OF furniture tor summer ue. /

NO REPUBLICAN WAR.

If there is fractional fight in the re-
publican party in Wisconsin today, it is
due to the reform" element of the
party, Sentinel.
A month ago the Sentinel was declar-
ing triumphantly that there was war in
the republican party; that war had been
declared, that the party was split in two,
and demanded to know, then and there,
on which side everybody stood 1t ap-
pears to have beard from the republi-
cans of the state, for now it humbly,
although still spitefully, says that IL
there is fight-not war, but fight
in the republican party the ''reformers'
are to blame for it.
But there was no war, actual or i'm
minent, in the republican party when
at the hour of the Senttnels supposed
triumph in having started one, it de-
clared that war existed. and wSnted
the people to take sides. One newspa
per that has taken itself out of the re
publican party of Wisconsin cannot
make war in the partv IL may, up to
the limit of its abilities, make war Oh
the party; but war on a party and wal
in party are two different matters. -

Elk Governor Pingree of Michigan,
died in London on Tuesday last while
making tour of observation oil foreign
lands Pingree served his city eight
years as mayor, Michigan four years as
governor. He was written down as a
crank and populist by every organ in
the country of the Milwaukee Sentinel
stripe, and by every man who processes
$talwartism. But he was plain, honest
man who rather be right than receive
the plaudits of all such. He used his
influence il public and private life to
better the general conditions of his fell
