IMPURITIVEs IN CANE SYRUP.
Advantage of the TilIman Process
in Producing Pure Syrup.

III IEO0uCAuk EuES syrup
Editor Morning News: My attention
has been drawn to Mr.. w. B. Rodden-
berry's remarks at the so-called Sugar
Cane Growers Convention, at jack
sonville. He spoke of the difficulties
of marketing the low grades of syrup.
In this he is right; but the question
is, why should there be any low grades
of syrup; no syrup would remain good
in barrels longer than four months, and
the only solution was in the hermeti-
cally sealed can or bottle. In this as
sertion, he is as far wrong as is the
East is from the West. Impurities
are the cause of syrup Souring and
fermenting. 1t must be cleansed of
the natural impurities in cane, or other
things of which syrup is made, and
then it will remain in its virgin purity
in barrels for yearS-no telling how
long. Thousands of our most reputable
citizens will assert as to the correct
ness of what I here state. They have
tried it and know of their own per-
sonal knowledge that it is true.
l make the following quotation from
the Quitman Advertiser of September,
1903:
THE Tillman Syrup Process
THE most convincing proof of its
merits has been demonstrated within
the last few days. None can longer
doubt its purity. 1t has been put to
the severest possible test, and comes
to the front in it's virgin purity.
"A few days ago, Mr.. r. c. Creech,
who keeps a fancy family grocery store
at this place, bored into a barrel of
the Tillman process syrup, for the
purpose of inserting a faucet, and to
his, and others, great establishment,
| II. I'LL
ted from the Barrel. The syrup is pro-
nounced by Mr.. Creech, and many
others, as being the best favored, the
| purest and most nutricious they have
ever eat. AS a test the barrel had been
| sitting in the sun for the past four
months. If this is not enough to con-
| vince any one that the Tillman pro-
cess syrup is all that is claimed for it,
then we do not know what it will
| take to convince them. We are now
satisfied that all syrup made by the
| old process will not be considered mar
ketable for shipping purposes. Nor
neither is it reasonable to suppose that
| the price will be as much as it was
| the past season. While this is but
| reasonable conclusion, it is equally rea-
| sonable to conclude that the Tillman
| process syrup will readily sell for IS
cents to S1.00 per gallon, since its mer-
/ its are all ready so well established.
| 1t will doubtless be the means of
! bringing thousands of dollars to South
| Georgia this season.
IF there has ever existed a doubt
in the mind of the most skeptical per-
son, to be found in all the land of the
efficacy and absolutely purity of the
Tillman Process Syrup it should at
once serve to remove that doubt.
The persons who have been using it
on their tables, pronounce it in every
respect the most delightful pure, we'll,
favored, palatable and nutritious
syrup, they have ever tasted. Syrup
that can withstand the atmospheric
change of this year without showing
| the least disposition to sour or fer
ment, certainly should be all that any
! one could reasonably expect or desire
| There is no other syrup known to man,
but what will both sour and ferment.
Therefore; the Ti1lman process will
not only take and hold precedence over
the syrup markets, but will be regard
ed as a "sine qua non." 1t will re-
deem all of the. sugar cane growing
regions of the South. Here every farm
er can become a syrup maker, and
that, in addition, to all of the neces-
sary crops, according to his means.
The time is near at hand when this is
to become the poor mans paradise
found Already we have abundant
evidence of its attractibility. All that
is lacking now to cause immigration
to flow easy in this direction, is to
have the country rightly, honestly and
correctly presented. In addition, 1 will
take the liberty of stating that many
families in the large cities, as we'll
as the proprietors of the tourist and
other hotels, will, and have, already,
given their testimonials of the vast
superiority of the Tillman process sy-
rup over all other syrups known to
man, in purity, healthfulness and nu-
triton.
1 will say further, that Capt. John
G. Mccall, at my request, as a test,
| left several bottles of his syrup made
in 1902 without shoppers, and at the
end of twelve months found it just as
good in every respect as it was the day
| he stored it in his dark pantry. And
again, syrup made by the old methods,
and hermetrically sealed. have this year
bursted the cans wide open. If the
impurities of syrup is not eliminated
| thoroughly, then the syrup is not fit
for use and 1 do not care by whom
made The impurities are very hurt
full to the stomach and bowels, and
hence unhealthful to the entire sys-
tenn.
