the entire South Georgia. belt. An
address from Prof. Stockbridge, in

Queer, demonstrating that the starch
produced was the best known,at a price
far below the cost of wheat, corn and
potato starch. That pineywoods stock
was fattened for increased weight at

cents per pound. These results shown
through a series of years and upon

the problem of fattening our own meat
and making it as tender and good as
Western meat at far lower cost is
solved in Florida, and may be in the
whole of South Georgia. This and
much more was demonstrated by these
two conventions.

this year. The board of trade pro-
poses a further gratituous distribution
of 10000 seed at once. Private par

SUWANEE SPRING,

At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William ]
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DR.. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes if he had not gone
abroad but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. It was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in q
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse. the
American. director of the Bureau OF
Materia Medica, said:
That meets my argument for SUI
vance Springs. l published a good
word for them five years ago, and !
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal OF Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences OF
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs

poses to Do.
Dublin, Ga, March 30.--What the
Populists of this county expect to do
in this county this year is a problem.
Yesterday meeting was held by those
who affiliate with the Third Party, but
beyond appointing a committee to con-
fer with the Democratic Executive
committee no action was taken which
would indicate what the Populists in
tend to do. True, motion to reor-
ganize the party was carried and a
motion to the effect that no ticket be
put out this year was defeated, but
those who participated in the meeting
say that no significance can be at
tached to this action. They killed the
motion to disband because, as they
said, they did not want to take any
action of that character in advance
of the meeting of the National Commit
tee of the Populist party, which will
convene in a few days.
1t is believed that the committee
appointed to confer with the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee will make
a proposition to have this year in Lau-
rens county white primary. the word
Democrat being left out. This is only
conjecture, however, as no instructions
were given the committee looking to
that end.

FELTZ FIGHTS TONIGHT.

Tommy Feltz, the Savannah bantam

before the West End Athletic Club,
will meet for the second time Johnny
Regain in a bout of twenty rounds.
Feltz and T. o. Mcbride, his manager,
have been in st. Louis for several days.
Tommy is said to be in first-class
shape.
The bout is of interest not only be-
cause the former match was a draw,
but also because the winner of this
go" is slated to meet Harry Forbes in
Louisville in the early part of April
AS Feltz is very anxious to have an
other go at Forbes he will work the
harder to put Regain out of business,

is as follows:
The Sugar Cane and Cassava Con-
vention to be held in Brunswick on the
18th day of April 1902, should arouse
the deepest interest and command the
most earnest support of the people of
South Georgia.
The movement for the planting of
wider areas in sugar cane, the more
intelligent making and marketing of
syrup, the Introduction of cassava as
food for stock, and for starch man
ufacture. is intensely practical, dis
seminates information which may be
coined into dollars, by every practical
farmer in South Georgia.
The movement was initiated by the
Board of Trade of Brunswick at the
instance of Col. Wade of the South
ern Railway, who made an exhaustive
investigation of cassava planting, pro-
duction, uses as food, and for fatten-
ing of stock, for manufacture into
starch, in Florida, where it is raised
upon a large scale, with assured profit,
Col. Wade has aroused interest
