The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-11-22

Concerning the real capacity of the
South African mines little is known.
The working is done in secret,
and this secrecy attends the whole
process up to shipment. The stones
permitted to get to the public may
represent tenth of the actual prod
uct, or a thousandth part of the pos
sible; the facts are hidden. That the
untrammeled operation of the mines
would result in making diamonds
common and reduce them to low sta
ton on the list of the precious is wide
ly suspected. There is not the slight
est prospect of any such commercial
blunder."
This is the sort of thing that con-
verts well-disposed men into wild-eyed
socialists who want to replace private
monopolies with one great public mo-
nopoly, fatuously imagining that the
men engineering the latter will display
the wisdom and goodness of angels.
Under the circumstances it is just as
we'll that cheap and clever limitations
of diamonds are on the market. The
poor young man may win the smile he
wants with these, and may deny him
self less or steal less in order to pro-
cure them. Macon Telegraph.

CULTIVATION OF ZAPUPE
A New Industry That Flourishes
In Mexico.

1t Supplies Fiber For Ropes, Fish
Nets, Bags, Etc.-The Leaves Protect
Themselves With Sharp sDines From
Ravages Of StOcIk-Remarkably Free
From Insect or Rodent Attacks.
Many thousand acres of land in the
northern states of Mexico are being
planted in the "zapupe" fiber plant,
says a special dispatch from City OF
Mexico Mexico, to the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. Many thousands of dollars
of American capital has been invested
in this new industry during the past
few months. The new plant promises
to become as noted in the fiber mar
kets of the world as are henequin and
manila.
The fiber of the zapupe has been en-
ployed by the Indians for hundreds OF
years in the manufacture of various
crude articles, ropes, bags, fish nets,
etc. Since foreigners took it up it has
been found to possess many points OF
advantage over other fiber bearing
plants, tract planted for experiment
having given far more than expected
results. The fiber has been submitted
TO experts in New York, and most fat
tering reports have been received.
In appearance the zapupe leaf is sim
liar to the leaf of the henequin, which
made millionaires in Yucatan and Cam
necbe. However, it is not so feshy
and a good dead longer. Henequin will
give more fiber to the leaf, but not to
the plant. The fiber should be white,
highly flexible and strong. One of the
greatest advantages Of zapupe fiber Ill
making ropes is that these ropes DO not
readily kink or mildew when exposed
TO moisture, giving them the quality OF
running smoothly through pulleys and
other tackle.
Leaves may be cut from the zapupe
the third year after planting, most oth-
er fiber plants requiring from five to
seven wears. For two or three years
the-plant Wlll give Over 1oO IC" 'N0 Pc
wear. but the number gradually drops
to about eighty, and this number IS re-
tanned for fifteen years consecutNely.
Each plant will yield annually from
two to four pounds, dependent upon
the conditions and care given Inc
nIants. The fiber experts estimate that
the fiber is worth from s to . CENTS
gold. per pound. Estimates made at
the City Of Mexico and based on the
price of labor give the cost OF produc-
ton. including delivery to shir ping
wharfs, at from 2 to 8 cents per
pound.
Scions are planted about six feet
apart. making it possible to raise
slightly over 1000 plants to the acre.
When the field Is about twelve years
old new scions are planted half way

WHY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT CAME SOUTH
1t Was See His Mothers Old Home Georgia and to
Visit Booker Washington in

for him. 1t may be true that his time
was very limited, but where did he get
so much time that he could devote
more to the negroes than the whites?
He was very careful to say to us that
through such institutions as this Amer
lea was uplifted and that we must not
work for benefit of ourselves alone,
for what an American accomplishes is
credited to the whole country. If he
said this to a school where he could
only spend twenty minutes | wonder
what he told the negroes with whom he
spent two hours? / must say, however,
that he seemed a good-humored, big
hearted kind of man"
1t looks very much to us as if this
young Laurens county boy has struck
the keynote. President Roosevelt
came south primarily for two things:
To see his mothers old home and to
visit Booker Washington at Tuskegee.
Every other place visited was incident
al. Today he thinks more of Booker
Washington than he does of Senator
Clay, Congressman Livingston or any
other white man in the south. He has
not recanted on the negro question one
particle. He has never regretted din
ing with Booker Washington. He
has never expressed regret for insult
ing Jeff Davis.

While in the south President Roose-
welt endeared himself to many people
who did not take time to analyze his
character, and who accepted him just
as he was, but others took his meas

decided that he was not all pure gold,
This was the ease of a Laurens coun-
ty boy who is low attending the
archaeological school at Atlanta. 1t
will be remembered that President
Roosevelt visited that school while in
Atlanta. This young man wrote his
father in Dublin just how the president
had impressed him as follows:

letter just what President Roosevelt
did during the twenty minutes he was
at the school. He may be great and
good man, but l can't see where he

on our campus for twenty minutes,
saying few kind words, and then go
to a negro school, stay there for two

between the old plants, and by the
time the latter have ceased to bear
new growth of plants is in bearing
condition. These leaves are cut four
times a year, each plant yielding an
average of twenty or twenty-five
leaves at the cutting.
During the first two years the zapupe
plantation has to be kept clear OF
weeds, which might stop the growth
Of young plants. After this the shade
of the plants is enough to stop the
growth Of weeds. The leaves are pro-
vided with sharp spines, which insure
them from the ravages of stock.
Machinery can be had at a cost Of
from $500 to $4,000 gold. The cheaper
machines are capable of cleaning about
5000 leaves in ten hours, while the lat
ter will take care of 100000. While
it is a very hardy plant, the zapupe
does best on sandy soil which is high
enough to be we'll drained. Shady and
wet locations are fatal TO it's growth.
From October to March, the dry sea-
son, is the best for planting, as vege-
tation is not so rank owing to lack of
rain. Drought is not apparently in
furious to the plant, or heavy rain
fall. Zapupe is also remarkably free
from insect or rodent attacks.
Scions for planting cost from p cents
to 3 cents, Mexican money, each, vary
Jag according to size and quality of
the scion. Land suitable for zapupe
plantations can be had for from So to

SUaUe Oh NlIS5ISSlppls
In order to guard against the intro
duction of the Mexican boil weevil in
Mississippi, and check the eastward
spread of the insect, the United States
bureau of agriculture has assigned
Professor w. NJ. Bainberge to that
state as special agent with headquar-
tiers in Jackson.
Professor Bainberge requests that
all specimens of suspicious-looking
insects he sent to him in Jackson, and
report will be promptly made on
same.
The department of agriculture has
publicly expressed the fear that it is
only matter of year or so until the
boil weevil reaches Mississippi, and
will, therefore, take all proper precau-
tionary measures in advance in order
that the ravages of the insect may be
checked if possible.
Professor Bainberge is one OF the
