CANE MILL AND REFINERY.
Largest Cane Mill in the south to
BE Built at Climax.


The interest that is being taken in
cane growing in Georgia and the faith
that business men have in its future
prosperity is shown in the proposed
erection at Climax, Thomas county, of
the largest cane mill in the South, as
well as sugar refinery that will be
of size proportionate to the mill.
The mill will have a capacity of 400
tons of cane a day and will consist
of the most improved and up-to-date
machinery that is to be had. The mill
is not merely planned" but is so near
an actually that much of the ma
chinery is already on the ground. 1t
will be completed in time to handle
this years crop.
The mill and refinery viii be erected
and owned by A. Cohn & Co of New
York, whose foresight and industry
have already been demonstrated in
the successful cultivation of the very
large tobacco fields near Attapulgus,
Decatur county, among the finest in
the South, both as to size and the
quality of the tobacco grown.

and Long Headed.
Capt. Passow of the st. Louis was
being discussed at the Maritime ex-
change, says the Philadelphia Record.
A skipper said:
81 have known Passow for years.
He is quiet and grave, but joker
at bottom-a long-headed chap, whom
nobody can beat.
'"There's a story about Passow in
his young days and a sailor who at
tempted to malinger under him. This
sailor, as soon as the ship was out
of sight of land, heaved loud groan,
began to limp and said, with tears in
his eyes:
"'Captain, must lie up for a spell.
This old leg Of mine is being wrenched
and twisted cruel with rheumatism.
I'd like to work, but it's an impossible
ity. I'll go to bed now.'
"Passow grunted and the sailor, kind
Of smiling around the lips, hoped off
deck He got in bed, lit his pipe, be-
gan to read stack of old magazines
and novels-had high old time.
"'No, can't move. couldn't walk
q step,' he'd say, when anybody ques-
toned him, and then he'd give lond,
deep groan. But as soon as he was
alone again he'd resume his reading
and puff away at his pipe comforta-
bly,.
"Passow told the first officer he had
once heard funny story about ma
lingerer and his detection, and he said
he'd put this story to the proof and
see if it would work in real life.
$50, at II o'clock that night, he had
an alarm Of fire sounded. and, by jove,
the first man to come leaping and
bounding UP on deck like an acrobat
was the sick man. The captain. after
he had told everybody he was just try
ing the fire drill, said to the mallDger-
er, with hard look:

such cures, but never believed in them

F ALL FOR HIS C0UN7RY'S SAKE !


1t was on June 5, 1902, that the two
"retched troopers engaged in this final
oattle OF Garies-several days after
peace had been declared, 1t is true, but
MADE necessary by the desperate atti-
tude of the fugitives toward the Brit
lsh crown. This is the explanation that
van Rhyn himself has made of his
nght. He has made it with pa
thetic tone Of voice, when his thoughts
reverted to the death of Col. Cooper.
the friend of his boyhood; but pathos
mas given place to sturdier and more
fevengeful note when his mind turned
10 the recollection of the cause for
which he fought, the principle of the
British and the overthrow Of Kruger.
franz Van Rhyn is an exile from his
native land and he has told his tale as
an explanation of his presence in the
United States. Martz is dead, as he
could not long survive the fever that
beset him, and his body now lies in
American soil.
The poor fellow was regarded by the
Beers as their fourth commandant in

Viving soldier as he finished the account
OF the death Of Col. Charley" Cooper.

public.

several days in disguise. We called
ourselves the brothers Wilson, and

The name of Van Rhyn was made ia,
nous in Denver recently by the report
of his intention to start an ostrich
farm in Colorado. The Boer fighter
has determined to make this his home
until the English see fit to issue him
a pardon. This he does not expect, and
hence he will engage in the endeavOl
with which he is familiar and import
ostrichs from his fathers farm tc
start flock of his own.
Van Rhyn is only 26 years old, accord
ing to his own statement, but he tells
a remarkable story. One would b,
prone to doubt it If he did not carry
papers that seem to establish his iden
tity and lend credence to what he says

CARE OF CUT GLASS.
Ways to Avoid Breaking or Chippina
Costly Pieces,

ways to Avoid Breaking or Chippins
Costly Pieces.
A housekeeper whose table furnish
ings are always beautifully clear and
shining as II new gives the following
hints for the care Of cut glasses, espe-
cially Of such pieces as are too valu-
able to be washed haphazard with
the other tableware.
Use only tepid water and the purest
CASTLE or other good soap for the
cleansing and rinsing of such articles
and manipulate a small stiff brush
during the washing in order to get
every particle Of dust out of the cut
ting. Then submerge the piece in
lockwood sawdust and allow it to re-
main some little time so that the saw
dust shall absorb the moisture and
clear the glass. The softest Of clean
cloth without any nap about it should
be used for the final wiping and pol
ishing
Common white potato peelings
should be used for cleansing the bot
tom Of carafes, decanters, and vases.
The shot frequently employed for this
purpose is apt to scratch the glass and
leave marks that show from the out
side. The potato peelings should be
left in the articles over night or for
several hours and then be washed out
with tepid water.
Experience proves that the short life
of many articles of rich glassware is
due TO the abrupt changes OF temper
ature to which they are commonly
subjected A tray or dish that has
been used for ice cream, sherbet or
any very cold substance, if plunged
into hot water, Is almost sure to
crack. Likewise a pitcher or tumbler
which has been filled with ice water
If put suddenly into hot water or
will show the effects. There is no risk
Of breakage where tepid water is used
for cleansing.
A piece Of cut glass should never
be taken from china closet or closed
cabinet where it has been in a pro-
tected atmosphere free from draughtS
and put Immediately in contact with
marble table top or other cold sub
stance. If the carafe and tumblers
to- be used for iced drinks be put into
moderately cool water for time be-
fore they are used their safety is in
sured.
Something of the same forethought
must be taken in guarding cut glass
objects from harm as is practiced with
delicate child or pet animal. In
der ordinary rough handling the glass
will lose its luster and crack or chip.
But with a few precautions regularly
observed there Is no reason why a
piece Of cut glass should not be pre-
served intact and brilliant for genera
tions.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

NEW YORK'S WOMEN PEDDLERS.
Fully 5000 of Them Pick Up Their
Living in the Streets.

From the heart of New York's kalei-
doscopic life comes a practical contra
diction Of the common belief that wom-
en- form the weaker sex. Fully 5000
women work on the streets Of the
American metropolis in fair weather
and foul.
The sidewalk Is their shop, the curb
stone their counter. They know moth
ing of the barest comforts afforded by
poorly appointed store. They stand
or walk about the whole day long,
while carrying on their petty business
es. Yet they are strong, they enjoy
life after their own fashion, and they
lay up treasure in banks Of whose sta
bility they have the best assurance.
This steadily increasing army OF
street saleswomen does not include
agents of any sort who make house

A great many men are OF, the opinion

way, as though it were as simple an
operation as digging ditch or milk

How many men are there, think
you, who, in one small head, or large

yet women without number are ex-
pected to have all these trades and
professions, with millinery, dressmak-

crafts thrown in at their fingers ends.

all this service is accepted as a matter
Of course and without a word of
thanks, says the Philadelphia Inquir-

And here, dear man, let me give yOu
a word Of advice. II you have a wife
Of this kind, or even wife that Is
trying her best to please you and make
you comfortable, let her know that
you appreciate 1t. Don't wait until
she has folded her tired hands at last
and laid down in sleep so profound
that even the bakers cry cannot
waken her and then order for her
beautiful 500 pillow, inscribed in pink
carnations, ITO My Dear Wife," or
an ornate monument recording her
virtues and costing more than you
have thought of giving her for her
own use.
Bring her home 25-cent bunch of
carnations occasionally as a freewill
Offering; take her out to table d'hote
dinner once In while as a treat; tell
her In 30 many words that you really
believe that she is the one woman in

out solicitation as you used to do In
the old counting days. and SO shall
the wheels Of the home run smoothly

the day that she said yes"
