A well-known Scotch 'meenister"
took up golf, and despite great prac-
tice could not succeed in passing the
tyro stage, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. His simple EXPLANATIONS of Tut,
tut" "Oh, dear" were plain evidences
of a perturbed spirit. One day, when
the perspiration flowed freely from his
lofty brow and his honest countenance
shone with a luster and radiance
which, alas! was not due to calmness
of soul, but rather the heat of the sun
and his laborious efforts to move the
obstinate gutta percha from its sta
ton on the tee, he was tempted to
indulge in strong language. Dear,
dear, but I'll have to gle it up. I'll have
to gle it up" he said at last, with a
despairing look at the ball.
"Give up the game, Mr.. d" ex-
claimed his friend, who had been a
witness of his attempts.

the other, with a sigh.

A SUGAR REFINERY SUGGESTED

A SUGAR REFINERY SUGGESTED.
A gentleman we'll informed respecting
the resources of South Georgia makes
the suggestion that sugar refinery
in this city would pay a good divt-
dend upon the money invested in it.
He has looked at the matter from all
points of view and has convinced him
self, and is prepared to undertake to
convince others, that there is no bet
ter place on the Atlantic coast for
an industry of this kind.
There is no doubt that Savannah
has advantages for a sugar refinery
There is tributary to her very large
section of sugar producing territory
The cane grown in this section is as
good as that grown in Cuba and bet
ter than that grown in Louisiana.
Indeed, there is sugar producing ter
ritory within radius of two hun
dred miles of Savannah sufficient to
supply the demands of a half dozen
large refineries.
A few years ago this matter of es-
tablishing a sugar refinery here was
quite extensively discussed, and the
sentiment in favor of a refinery was
quite strong. 1t is probable that if
the matter were taken up again it
would receive very hearty indorse-
ment. The reasons for thinking it
would be Endorsed are that the atten-
ton of the people of South George
has been strongly drawn to the grow
ing of sugar cane since the question of
establishing a refinery here was under
consideration. Much has been done by
the Department of Agriculture to
show what South Georgia is capable
and several sugar mills are being es-
tablished in the sugar producing sec
ton.
There isn't a doubt of course that
the people of South Georgia have about
become convinced that they can get
better returns from their lands by
planting sugar cane than in any other
way. In order therefore to make this
SlSdl sugar SeCllOH IL
is only necessary TO give the farmers
of the section a market for their cane.
There would be a satisfactory market
in this city if there were a sugar re-
finery here-that is a large refinery.
The question of establishing a sugar
refinery will, it is understood be
brought before the Chamber of Com
merce within the next week or two
OF course, that body, if it thinks well
of it, will appoint a committee to
take into consideration the ADVISABLE
ty of giving the enterprise encourage
ment. There are several things to be
considered in connection with it, one
of them being the transportation OF
cane to the refinery. The gentleman
who is anxious to have the question of
refinery brought to the attention OF
the people of this city is confident that
the cost of transporting the cane to
the refinery would be no bar to the
success of the refinery. This is only
one of the many questions, however,
that would be given careful consid-
GRAFTON if the Chamber of Commerce
were to take hold of the matter with
the view of giving it thorough inves-
tigation.

TROUBLES OF THE RED CROSS.

For some years there has been dis
satisfaction in the American Red Cross
Society. As far back as the time of
the Johnstown flood, in connection
with which the Red Cross did good
work. there were criticisms of the
methods and expenditures of the or
ganization, and these criticisms have
not been lessened by the operations of
the society in connection with the Ar
menian outrages, the Russian famine,
the disastrous hurricane on the South
Carolina sea islands and the Calves
ton storm and flood. People in this
section of the country, who will recall
the methods that were employed on
the sea islands, will have no difficulty
in appreciating and sympathizing with
the demand that has arisen in the
order for reorganization.
The demand for a reorganization and
new dispensation, it seems. has been
precipitated by the arbitrary suspen-
sion, with a view to ultimate expul-
sion, of a number of the most promi-
nent members of the organization
such persons as John w. Foster, Hill
airy A. Herbert, Admiral Van Ruypen.
Richard Olney and a number of 9TH
ers all we'll known for their devotion
to charitable work. The alleged rea-
son for the suspension is that Miss
Boardman, prominently connected with
the Red Cross. criticised the manage
ment of the society and suggested the
retirement of Miss Clara Barton from
the presidency, on an annuity, and that
the members that have been suspended
seconded Miss Boardmans suggestion
and lent her plan the weight of their
influence. 1t seems that the govern
ing power in the organization regard
ed this as disloyalty, and proceeded to
take steps to weed out the disloyal
members.
Nevertheless it is asserted by the
''reorganizers," and they bring salts
factory arguments in support of it,
that all they desire is that the Red
Cross shall be placed upon a good, sub
stantial, business-like working basis.
1t is not on that kind of basis at pres
eHl' MANY irregularities nave Deen
charged and not disproved. Miss
Boardman states that the field expen-
ditures of the society are not itemized
and therefore cannot be audited. At
the time of the Galveston disaster one
of the societys agents continued to
draw a salary four months after the
work of the order had been completed.
There is no questioning of Miss Bar
toms integrity, but there is a question
ing of her business ability. Further
more, being 81 years old, it is felt that
the weight of her age incapacitates her
for the cares of the position of presi-
dent. Again, there are strong suspi-
cions that Miss Barton has been and
is being imposed on by some of her
assistants. On account of these and
other things, it is claimed the Red
Cross is not so highly held in the pub
lie esteem as it deserves to be- and
that the only way to rehabilitate it in
the public confidence is to bring about

Ordinarily the self-respecting vege-
table declines to produce one crop
above ground and another below it,
but at the University of Minnesota

TO have been able to overcome this
dissemination of the vegetable king

number of potato plants upon which
he has grated tomatoes, and asserts
that both of the vegetables are doing
finely. The potato roots, he claims,
will compare favorably with those of
plants devoted to one crop. while the
tomatoes are large, ine-fiavored and

Under a recent act of Congress the
navy was authorized to bring it's en-
listed strength up to 81, 900 men. For
several months recruiting officers have
been securing new material, and the
enlistments are now only 1000 short of
the authorized limit. These, it is ex-
pected, will be added within the next
month or two. 1t is gratifying to note
the report, in connection with the en-
listments, that about eight in ten of
the men accepted for the service are
native Americans and the medical ex-
animation requires that they shall be
strong and healthy. Most of the for
eigners that are now finding their way
into the naval service are cooks and
solutions, the majority of them being
Japanese or Chinese.

all the talk there has been about the
retirement of Charles NJ. Schwab from
the presidency of the corporation, a

1t will be recalled that Gen. Corbin
was blaokballed by the Metropolitan
Club some days ago. This was at
tributed to the malign influence of the
Miles partisans. The Corbin partisans
declared that the uniform of the army
had been insulted and that they pro-
posed to slap the insulters on the
wrists, real hard. At this crisis ap-
peared the diplomatic Dewey and
busted himself to smooth the ruff1ed
feelings of both sides. In this COM
mendable effort he is said to have sue

Veterans reunion at New Orleans will
be put on the black list by the labor
unions of that city. The unions de-
manded of the veterans committee ar
ranging for the reunion that only
union bands be employed to play in
the parade. The committee replied that
it did not feel justified in discriminate
ing in favor of or against any class of
labor or artists. The union bandsmen,
therefore, will decline to have anything
to do with the parade and will advise

The Highland properties have at
