BEET SUGAR.

1t Was Born Of Frances Isolation
During the Napoleonic Wars.
Sugar US all article Of food was not
known to the ancients. Mankind has
always exhibited the greatest fondness
for sweets. and from the earliest times
the demand was supplied by honey.
The royal psalmist sets up honey and
the honeycomb as the highest standard
Of material sweetness. A land flowing
with milk and honey was the picture
drawn by the most ancient poets to de-
scribe an earthly paradise. Romans Of
the last days Of the republic, and sub
sequently Of the time Of the empire,
who were at the same time the most
luxurious epicures and the ~grossest
feeders the world ever knew and
spared neither money nor exertion to
secure every delicacy possible for their
tables, had no knowledge Of sugar, but
robbed the bees to obtain sweets for
their famous honey cakes and other
confectionery.
Sugar was made in India and Arabia
in the earliest times, but 1t was not
brought into Europe until the inva-
sions of the Mohammedans into the
countries around the Mediterranean
sea, in the seventeenth century. The
Moors cultivated the cane In the coun-
tries of north Africa, and they intro
duced it into Spain. The Spaniards,
about 1910, planted sugar canes In their
West Indian possessions, whence 1t
spread through Spanish America and
into the French province Of Louisiana.
The cane was the original source OF
sugar, and so remained up to the time
Of the Napoleonic wars in Europe. The
ports of France were so closely block
AIDED by the British fleets that it was
impossible to secure sugar from any
tropical countries, and Napoleon as
sembled the chemists in France and
commissioned them to discover some
means Of making sugar out Of material
found in the country, ut the same time
offering a large reward. This proceed
ing resulted in the production Of sugar
from the beet.-New Orleans Picayune.

A Strong Resemblance.

There was in Washington few years
ago an old negro who was noted for his
recollections of all the famous statesmen
of -bellum days. To him one day
came rather pompous member of a COM
paratively recent Congress, who resem
bled some of the famous forensic giants
only in his capacity for ardent spirits. He
had his customary cargo aboard and was
inclined to be colloquial, so he addressed
the old negro patronizingly:
"Uncle Daniel, | understand that you
used to know Webster, Clay and all the
celebrated statesmen of before the war
times?"
"Oh, yes, sir; I members dem all" re-
sponded the old negro.
"Well, Daniel, / have been told that |
look like Daniel Webster. Can you notice
any resemblance
"Well, yes, sub; you does mind me
pow'ful of Mars Webstah in some 'specks."
Indeed! In what particular do re-
mind you of Daniel Webster?" inquired
the now thoroughly flattered statesman.
"Mos'ly in de BRET, suh,"' responded
Daniel; "mos'ly in de bref!"

His Last Hape Realized.

from the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April. During
his travelling and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much bad
weather, which, together with the heat,
gave him severe diarrhea which seemed
almost impossible to check, and in June
the case became so bad he expected to die.
OLe day one of his neighbors brought him
one bottle of Chamberlain collie, cholera
and diarrhea remedy as a last hope. A
big dose was given him while he was roll
ing on the ground in agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That
little bottle worked complete cure, and
he cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy.

Landlord Cleveland.

( Ex-President Cleveland, who is living
at Princeton, owns house in the neigh
borhood which he leases to a university
professor, a friend of his, for a very
moderate rental. The spring rains have
been unusually heavy of late, and the pro-
{essor's cellar is frequently inundated,
greatly to his annoyance. Having found,
upon Investigation, that defect in the
construction of the wall was responsible
for the trouble, he called upon his emf
nent landlord to register & protest.
"Mr Cleveland" he complained. my
cellar is full of water"

Wealth In Lapland.

What the buffalo was to the Indian
the reindeer is to the Lapps. At the
present day the wealth Of Lapp Is
calculated in reindeer. Thus, when the
people speak Of mans estate they
say, "He is worth SO many deer"
Those who have only fifty or sixty
head are poor servants, andstheir deer
are put with those Of their 'betters.' u
To have any kind Of social standing In
Lapland one should possess at least 500
Of these animals. A Lapp is considered
we'll off when he is the happy owner OF
not less than 1000 reindeer.

In the selection of site for the new
school building, the committee has no
doubt done the best it could, and while
from personal standpoint, the site is
not satisfactory to us, We have no criti-

While the financial loss is something
enormous, the greatest calamity is to the
poor operatives who are thrown out of
work by the destruction or damage to
many cotton mills in the upper portion

stantial way the pitiable plight of these
people.

The bonds for the erection of the new
graded school building will soon be put

possible price will be obtained for them.
The bonds should certainly sell enough
above par to bring the interest down to
four or A per cent. School bonds in other
parts of the State have sold this we'll, and
there is no earthly reason why ours
should not sell fully as high or higher.

Saturday morning and the death of Miss
jamie Copeland Sunday morning follow
ing. Both were members of Mt. Pleasant
Lutheran Church, and were inferred there
in the cemetery. The church has lost two
of its best members; the community has
suffered severe loss, but the worst blow
falls on the families of the loved ones,
because their respective places can never
be filled. Our sympathy goes out to the
sorrowing members in each family, and
We pray God to give them strength to
bear up under their affiiction.
