THE ouRAN SUGAR QUESTION.

The arguments presented by the adj
yocates Of the removal OF the duty on
Cuban sugar, before the Congressional
committee on ways and means, do not
strike q common mind as being very
forciSIs The synopsis which has come
by regular press dispatches may not do
them full justice, but they appear to be
somewhat oontradictory
Mr. Edwin +. Atkins O. Boston, IN
opeulng the discussion, spoke OF "the
enormous over production Of sugar
throughout the world, amounting TO
about 100000 tons which he said had
resulted In crisis In the industry.
That Is a remarkable statement. ana
The action OF the German government
in relation ~ this matter. as repre-
scented by Mr.. Atkins, is stil more re-
markable in view OF this enormous
oyer-production. To meet IL, hc said,
the German producer was assisted "by
means OF bounty and was thus able
TO sell sugar at a half cent per pound
below It's cost Of production, That IS
20 say that over-produclion can be
avoided by helping the producer to IN
creare materially the volume OF the
product. This to us Is very singular
way OF attempting to cure an alleged
evil.
After some further statements by the
Boston gentleman, he was asked wheth-
err his sugar business was profitable
last year, and he had TO coucede that
It had been, although he claimed that
planters had not done very profitable
business This sugar dealer favored a
reduction Of 30 per cent on the duty
upon Cuban sugar, and further adj
mitted that "a very large percentage OF
the Cuban sugar Industry was owned
by citizens Of the United States" Other
advocates OF pretended relief for the
Cubans favored the free admission Of
sugar from that island, with reeipro-
cal concessions on American goods en-
tering It's ports.
1t has been positively asserted that

Arcadia, Fla, Nov. S.-The new
banking house of Simmons, Langford

Dec. 1. This will give Arcadia two
banks.
C. L. Carlton, deputy clerk of the
Circuit Court, has purchased the Pc
tiers grove for $4,000. This fine piece
of property is nine miles north Of
Arcadia. Four groves have been sold
recently near here for not less than
$4,000 EACH
The packing houses of the De Soto
Fruit Company, Scott Bros. and
Heard & Reynolds have opened up and
are getting ready to ship oranges. The
fruit is ripening fast and many grow
ers are holding back for better prices,
which is not unreasonable, as the crop
is a short one.
James Mcbride, who owns one of the
finest groves in De Soto county, heard
from Ireland the other day to the ef-
feet that he had fallen heir to $4,000
in cash from his fathers estate, and
will leave shortly for the Old Country
to get it.
The State Fair opens up at Lake
City on the 18th inst. Col. J. w. Bur-
ton, who will represent De Soto's in
terests, is the right man In the right
place and the county will have a fine
exhibit. Col. 7. ]. Watkins, owner
of the famous Nocatee grove, three
miles south of Arcadia, who took one
of the premiums at the State Fair

fruits, will largely contribute to the
display from this county again.

and possibly a small sugar plant. The
farm of Mr.. w. j. Smith, situated on
the outskirts of Waycross, has already
been negotiated for, and his cane field
of four acres has been purchased for
seed. The company will be composed of
w. J. Smith, c. l. Allen, J. S. Bailey,
W. A. Price, w. w. Sharpe, Mayor
George r. Youmans, and probably a
few others. They will meet at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms next
week to consummate their plans. AS a
sugar cane county, Ware is gaining an
enviable reputation. The cane crop this
year IS greater and better than ever
before. A few samples of sugar cane
grown here was expressed to DR.. G.

'partment at Washington, a few DAYS

OF hemorrhoids or piles, and while the
greater number of the profession do

the fact remains that much needless
operating is done, and the patient put

that it was a case of cataract on the
eyes. An operation was performed for
cataract, and the old gentleman can

accompanying infrmities of advanced
life, it is wonderful how successful the
operation is. Mr.. Smith remembers
when there were only four buildings in
Spartanburg.' He has lived with his

FOR ROAD WORK.
Ware County Commissioners Have
Purchased Approved Apparatus.

Ware County Commissioners Have
Purchased Approved Apparatus.
Waycross, Ca Nov. S.-The Ware
County Commissioners have closed a
contract for the purchase of a complete
and up-to-date outfit for the working
of the public roads in this county. An
improved grading machine has been
purchased, and has been at work on
one of the country roads for the past
two weeks, and an improved traction
engine and four clay and gravel cars
have been contracted for. The engine
and cars will cost about $500 and are
to be shipped from a mandatory in
Michigan in a few days.
The commissioners propose to repair
every pubic road in Ware county, and
where it is possible, to place a clay
traction engine is thirty-six horse
power, and is to be used for the pur-
pose of hauling clay and gravel and to
pack the roads. The engine has a
spede of from three to four miles and
when the four clay cars are heavily
loaded. The cars will carry almost as
much clay as a railroad fiat car.
The convict gang has recently been
established in this county for the pur-
pose of working the roads, and this
gang has been at work on the road be-
tween Waycross and Waresboro for the
past month. An extra tax will be
levied each year on all citizens Of
Ware county to support the convict
gang, and to bear other expenses in
CURED in working the roads. From this
source the County Commissioners will
obtain several thousand dollars each
year.
The new road machinery will do the
work of more than hundred men, and
probably fourth that number of
mules. The good roads movement in
Ware county is on, and is being en-
couraged by nearly every one.
