INTERESTING STORY
OF SUGAR PRODUCTION
Average Consumption in United
States Last Year Exceeded
10 Pounds Per Capita.
Special TO The Tribune.

! WASHINGTON, May 5.-Thcrc is a
chap in the Department Of Commerce
here who knows more about sugar than

aggregations amaze is they do not APP

For instance, he can tell YOU how
much sugar every man, woman, child
and baby in the United States eats each
year. He says it is &c pounds. OF course
you do not have to believe hlm if you
do NOT feel like it, but if you have a
personal interview with him the chances
are he will convince you. He says he
knows how much sugar is produced IN
the country and how much is imported
and he assumes that it is all eaten.
which is the only weak point in his
argument, Then, having tho total
year and knowing how many people
there are he says it is simple division
to find out what the average copsump.
tion per capita is.
But the people Of this country were
not always such gluttons for sugar. In
1922, which is the first year for which
accurate data is to be had. the average
culch per ucdQ WAS only nine POUNDS.
By 1880 it was already twelve pounds,
showing we grew rapidly swecter. In
1850 we were eating twentv-three
pounds per capita. and IN 1860 it was
thirty pounds. Ten years later it was
thirty five, and still ten later it had
lcaped TO forty-three. In 1890 it had
reached 6fty-threc. and in 1900 sixty.

The legislature has just passed bill adding practically all the territory between Newark and Black river as far north as Dota creek, to the Big Bottom fencing district. Now if the people who own the land in that section will take up tie matter and succeed in getting good big drainage canal from Newark into Black river and will then have the land cleared up and put into cultivation, it will mean great deal for Newark and the entire community. A good start has been made. Let the good work go on.

GOOD BYE, JUDGE

Judge Tharp admits the un- gentle manliness of his tira d e against The Journal this week, and thus plainly shows where the shoe Pinches. It is we'll known fact that 1t is no indication of culture, refinement or intelligence in any snan to call another man a liar. In aact 1t is rather the reverse and snore clearly indicates the ignor- Rnt, vicious, uncultured and un- civilized species of man, who can Mot conceal the characteristics of the lower animal in their make up, and who, if placed among people of their own kind and away from the elevating influences of civiliza- tion, would sooner or later drift back into conditions bordering 0pon canibalism.
 When the people know a man ss guilty of a charge brought against him, it does no good for him to deny it, and he only further stultihes and lowers himself in the estimation of the public when he does so. It is characteristic, how ever, of the lower specimen of man to do this, and careful re- search of both modern and ancient criminology. will show that perhaps Il majority of the blackest and most guilty criminals in the annals of crime have protested their in- aocence to the last, even after fheir guilt had been fully estab- lished beyond any question of doubt, and many them have even gone from the gallows into eter- Gity with this sort of denial upon their lips.
 But Judge Tharp's little eXhibl- 4ion of his true self does not scare The Journal little bit, and we repeat with emphasis that Squire Tharp did, for nearly two years, keep his office in the same build- ang where blind tiger was being gun in open violation of the law, and where, if he possesses vestige of reason, be could not help but lnow the law was being violated. And this, too, in spite of the fact that he had stood up with uncover ed head in the presence of Almlgh- ty God and, with uplifted hand, sworn that he would faithfully perform the duties of his office. When an officer takes an oath that Ae will faithfully perform the duties of his office, and then, through sheer neglect or through Ais private inclinations, utterly fails to do so, he simply perjures Himself and is unworthy of the respect of decent hound dog.
 The judge seems very much sur prised that The Journal has the 'audacity" to accuse him of hav- Sng kept his office in blind tiger. Sure. The judge has become so

" es him to hear a man tell the truth.
 Now as to the article by Mir. Alexander which The Journal re- fused to publish, The Journal has only this to say: His conduct at that time, as Judge Tharp readily admits, was not such as was cal culated to add very materially to the cause of sobriety, therefore it seemed very inconsistent to us to allow him to preach through our columns against thing which he so literally patronized. Having previous given our reasons for not publishing this article, we deem 1t unnecessary to go over the matter again. But we believe that any other reasonable man wOu d have taken the same view of the matter that we did, and, in fact, when our action became known, several of the best citizens in town endorsed our view of the matter. Now if this be an offence, how many such offences would 1t re. quire to equal the offence Squire Tharp is guilty of in keeping his office in blind tiger, aiding, abetting and shielding it's opera tors and thus violating solemn oath he had taken? Is there a mathematician living today who can solve this problem!
 Judge Tharp seems very soiicl- tous about that ten dollars. But that is no surprise. A man who, as a sworn officer of the law, will so far forget his honor and good name as to violate a sacred oath, will do most anything for a jew dollars, and it is this very thing of putting dollars and cents above duty and principle that has gotten Judge Tharp into the unpleasant predicament he is now in.
 Now, in conclusion The Journal wants to say that while Judge Tharp has always been our friend and we personal friend to Judge Tharp, still we have nothing to take back, nothing to recant and no apologies to offer. All the charges we have made against him as are true Gospel and can be fully sustained at any time. Squire Tharp knows this to be fact and deep down in his heart today he cannot respect his own self for allowing himself to make 8 fool of himself in the manner he has. Judge Tharp knows and the public knows that newspaper dare not libel any man or officer, and if these charges are not true The Journal is guilty of libel and sub- iect to a fine that would wipe us out of business. If they were not true Judge Tharp would long ago have sued us for libel, instead of putting in and talking back like an ingnoramus.
 Now if Judge Tharp has any explanation to make bearing upon his official conduct or anything to say about The Journal, we grant him the use of our columns next week, after which the incident is closed, so far as The Journal is concerned. Unless something new developes to bring the matter up in different light, we shall not mention it again, and in conclusion If we can control our emotions for just a moment and suppress this flow of tears) we want to say: Good bye, jedge, take keer O. yose'f and don't let another tiger git yeH'

Of coaling ship. Our friend, the late
Hickey, probably could have died from

lieutenant commander given him lib
erty. Wait and see what the autopsy
shows.
Who would prefer charges against
the o1icer had he given the man liber-
ty, and the poor fellow died from over
joy?
There Is no charge of brutality, as
far as l could see. He was put in irons
and confined, as many have been, prob
ably for insOlence or refusing to obey
a superiOr's order. An enlisted man,
when in charge of a working party,
can report another for insolence or
neglect of duty and the commanding
officers will punish the offender as Sc
verely as if an officer reported him.

HOSPITALITY OF GOV. VARDA.
MAN.
MAN..


Hon. Tom Watson, Populist, has
during his visit to Mississippi been
sharing the hospitality of Gov. Var.
daman, Democrat. 1t looks as though
an era Of good feeling had returned
and speaks we'll for the removal of
partisan prejudice. A few years ago
a northern Republican governor might
have been entertained at a Democratic
governors home in the south but a
Populist-never. MIR. Watson does
not deny being Popuiist nor does
he deny that he helped to make Hon.
Hoke Smith, former member of Pres.
ident Cleveland's cabinet, governor of
Georgia. He advises the farmers TO
keep their union out of politics but
to get in knee-deep themselves. Con
corning Mr.. Watson's suggestions the
Picayune correspondent says:
Mr.. Watson asserted that he Is anx-
ious to have it thoroughly understood
