A Perry County farmer has

that deducting the cost Of maxi

has a profit Of $I75 coming to

Rankin County farmer last year

soil conditions cleared something
over $500 per acre on this pros
duct. We have time and again
called attention Of the farmers OF
this section to the handsome
profits to be had from the cane
crop, but thus far the raising Of
the sweet plant has not become
general. There is demand all
the year for open pan country
molasses, and six out Of twelve
months i is almost impossible to
& IT the syrup at the stores. The
few farmers who do make some
molasses for sale, find demand
for all of it they can spare but as
yet none OF them have turned at
tention to the crop on an extern
sive scale. Several thousand
more gallons Of home made syrup
can be sold in this city alone
next year, and we advise the
farmers VINO. have the seed to|
put as much of it away as posi-

Escaped Destruction.
Fort De France. Island of Marti-
nieue, May 21.-The expedition sent
to recover the bodies Of the Ameri-
can and British consuls at st. Pierre
on Monday nearly resulted in a fear
full horror. The vessels taking part
in the expedition were the United
States steamer Potomac and the Brit
ish cruiser Indefatigable. The Pcto-
mac, under the command of Lieuten-
ant Benjamin B. Mccormick arrived
there first, at II o'clock Monday morn

party went to the site Of the American
consulate, and the other, headed by
Lieutenant Mccormick, went to the
north end of the town, to the spot
where the British consulate stood,
from where the lieutenant could see
Mont Pelee, and noticed that a huge
column of smoke and gas was pouring
out Of the crater, in a manner similar
to the eruption of May 8 last. he
thereupon rushed to the site Of the
American consulate and ordered al
hands to the boats. The American
sailors picked up a heavy metallic
coffin, in a wood case, containing the
remains of the United States consul
Thomas T. Prentis, and carried It t
a boat. The American party was II
imminent danger.
In the meantime the Indefatigabl'
had arrived off St. Pierre but left tn

should skip off the old farm just as
