THE GAMBLERS CELEBRATE.

The gambling fraternity at Tampa
is celebrating on account of the fact
that all of the gamblers who were
caught in the recent raids made by
the sheriff and his deputies were dis
charged from the Criminal Court. They
got away on technicality, despite the
fact that their guilt was proven be-
yond a shadow of a doubt.

SALOON MEN SUFFER-.

Twenty Tampa saloon men were
charged with selling liquor on Sum
day. While none of them appeared in
court, they never having been arrest

however, the court had .capias issued
for every one of them, and they were
arrested and brought into court, when
sentence was passed upon them.

GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
FARM,
By S. A. COOK.

The Revival of Sugar Cane Culture.
There are abundant reasons for be
lieving that quite an impetus will be
given 10 sugar cane culture in the re-
gion of the South Atlantic states. The
convention that will meet at Macon
shortly will no doubt have the effect
of arOusing renewed attention TO SUI
gar cane as money crop. It is a fact
we believe that nothing like as much
cane is grown in Georgia now as there
was twenty-five years ago. For one
reason or another our Georgia farmers
stopped growing it. The chief reason,
perhaps, was that a market had not
been developed for the products-syrup
exclusively-and prices for it declined
so low there was no particular induce
ment to continue it's culture.
While an easy enough crop to
make after meeting certain require
ments. it is far from being quite so
easy as cotton or corn, with the unin-
telligent labor that the Southern farm
er is compelled to rely upon. 1t is a
crop requiring much nicer management
from seeding the crop to marketing
the product than those two crops re-
quire. One cannot pitch in and plant
twenty-five or fifty acres of sugar
cane with the ease that he can plant
such an area in corn or cotton. In
starting out to make sugar cane
staple crop the average farmer will
l,o. 20 - IN
providing plenty Of seed cane to use
the second year. To get the profit that
he should get he must grow his own
seed cane and have it handy to the
fields to be planted and this seed cane
must be carefully put away and look
ed after 50 that it viii not spoil
Sugar cane requires to be planted in
rows AT least five feet apart, and at
the lowest calculation it requires
about 5000 feet Of stalk to plant an
acre. Allowing the stalks to average
FIVE feet in length and laying them in
the furroW end to end without tapping
it would require 1,75O stalks to plant an
acre. This is rather thin seeding and
should imply the very best cane pos
sible. At a cent a stalk this would
make the cost of seed for one acre
$3.50. At cents a stalk, the more
probab price it would cost $35.
1t VIII be seen that one must grow
his own seed cane and have it ready
TO hand to get the most profit from its
culture in the most economical way
possible.
The soil for sugar cane should be
well prepared with pillow and harrow.
1t will pay in the end to have as fine
seed bed for the cane as for cabbage
or celery. There should be no clods.
The soil should not be plowed when
too wet. 1t should be dry when it is
planted.
Do not put the seed cane down into
the subsoil. Lay off burrows. so that
when the cane is planted and covered
and the soil leveled and firmed, it will
be three inches under the surface.
Rank, unfermented manure should
not be used on cane. and when sugar
is to be made the soil must have plen-
~ of lime. AS soon as the cane is up
il should be run round with the har-
row or sweep and this should be re-
peated in a week Allow the grass and
weeds no chance whatever. 1t is not
a difficult crop to cultivate. In its
perfection ii is a beautiful crop to look
upon, and a very profitable one when
grown under the best conditions.

TO PENSION Ex-SLAVES
Senator Hanna Offered It But Repu-
dates 1t.

There was submitted in. the United
States Senate few days since by SEN
ator Hanna a bill providing pension
for slaves. When charged that his mo-
tive was to win the negro votes of
Southern delegates to the presidential
nominating convention, Mr.. Hanna ex-
planned that he introduced the bill sim
ply because he was asked to do so, and
that it was not to win Southern dele
gates from Roosevelt and that he does
not approve of it. Why then should Mr.
Hanna. as an honest man, submit a
measure he would not approve? Why
should he place himself in the attitude
of a double dealer? But Mr.. Hanna has
given the representatives of the South
in Congress an opportunity they should
press 10 advantage Why not pension

the ex-slaves when thousands of men
in the North. buns and dead beats and
camp followers, are drawing pensions
from the government for which the
South must pay its full quota of reve-
nue.: If the slaves were pensioned. the
money received by them would be ex-
pended in the South and would help to
the South as the pensions of
the Federal soldiers in the North con-
tribute in a great measure to the wealth
of the Northern states. 1t would be good
policy to force the issue on Hanna's bill
as it would practically develop the
hypocrisy of the Republicans love for
the niger. Every Southern representa-
tive should stand for the bill to pension
