arch puller, declares he can pull any
stump or tree in Florida, and Judging
from what was seen on the occasion
Of this visit, we believe he is right.
AS a demonstration of how easy the
problem was, Mr.. Hodgson hooked his
cable around an oak tree about twen-
ty-two inches in diameter, and, with
the aid Of two mules, which furnished
the power, he uprooted the tree and
pulled it out of the way in less than
five minutes.
Mr.. Hodgson is working a few hun
dred yards ahead of the road gang,
clearing the right-of-way of all stumps
and trees. He is making a broad,
clean opening, and the road, when COM
pleted, will be entirely clear of any OBJ
Stacles.
The road gang, under the supervis-
ion Of J. R. Emerson, is also doing
some fine work. The gang is now
within a short distance of Prairie
Creek bridge, and, under fair condi-
tions, should reach that point in a
few days.
The material employed on this road
is clay and pebble, which makes a
very hard and durable surface.
AS whole, Mr.. Emerson is demon
strating the fact that he knows
thing or two about building, and
with Hodgson to clear the way and
Emerson to follow, the county has
team from which it secures good SER
vice.

Stump Pulling an Easy Thing-Th'
Work is Done Quickly.

We published an article, lately, in
which the writer made the claim that
stumps with large tap root, like our
yellow pines, could not be economical
ly pulled with machine, but that
dynamite was the quickest, cheapest
and best way to get rid Of them.
A road contractor in Alachua county
is using stump puller to great ad-
vantage, according to the Gainesville
Sun, which says:
The Sun representative, together
with County Commissioner C. c. Ped
rick and Photographer James F.
Smith, visited the scene of road-build-
ing east Of the city, on the Prairie
Creek road, Wednesday morning,
when Contractor Thomas L. Hodgson
demonstrated how easily and quickly
a right-of-way could be cleared Of
stumps and trees by the aid Of his
stump -puller, which has been working
on the right-of-way for the past few
days.

1t is a serious problem in Louisiana,
what to do with the molasses which
accumulates from the large amounts
Of sugar made in that state. The last
number of the Louisiana Planter, tells
of some experiments in the use of mo-
lasses as timber preservative, instead
OF creosote.
In view of the probability of large
increase in the sugar production of
Florida, it is likely to be also a matter
of interest here The Planter says.
Quite an interest was excited some
months back in method Of timber
preservation by utilizing sugar or mo-
Iasses instead Of the ordinary creosote
for this work. We have the analogy
III pork products that are preserved by
wood smoke, which is creosote pro-
cess and sugar cured ham, in which the
curing, or preservation by sugar is
more effective than by the wood
smoke, Or creosote process. 1t would
seem very possible that all of the low
grade molasses of Louisiana that was
not used at home as stock food could
readily be used as a wood preserva-
tive if efforts were made to develop
the business. The Railway Engineer
ing Review of January 18th, referring
to the Powell process, which was being
experimental with in England, said
that it consisted in boiling the wood
in a combined saccharine solution
whereby the latent air is driven out
and the albumen and sap of the wood
coagulated. The wood is then allowed
to cool in the solution until it is suffl-
GENTLY impregnated and finally it is
dried at a high temperature. For
rough wood, such as railroad ties, paw
ing blocks, ETC., beet syrup is used for
the solution, but for light-colored or
for fine woods, the best beet sugar is
used.
The plan, as described in the Rail-
way Engineering Review, is simple.
The wood is packed on trucks, which
are run into the cylinders lined inside
with pipes, which serve the double pur-
pose Of heating and cooling the solu-
ton, and all SO arranged that the So
luton can circulate all around each
piece Of wood. The cylinder is closed
as in creosoting and the solution is run
into it and afterwards pumped back
to a tank
We are not at present familiar with
the prices of creosote per barrel, but
in our purchases of it in the past it's
value has been higher than that of
common molasses, and yet the belief
in England in connection with these
experiments has been that the molas-
seS or sugar was better preservative
than the creosote.

Ihe immigration PROBLEM.
Most of the people of this state want
it's lands settled up as rapidly as pos
sible Many would be glad to see an
immigration of laborers to do the
work which is needed How to &C
complish the desired end is problem
which is very difficult Of solution. Va
rious plans have been proposed, but
none have yet accomplished the de-
sired result. The editor OF the Tampa
Times shows that it is to much to ex-
pect, and that we are not likely to
get such immigrants as We would like
and must put up with what we can get
or do without. We think it would be
we'll to draw lines closer and shut out
the undesirable classes, even II we do
not get as many laborers as we desire.
The Times says:
A wire from London conveys some
rather optimistic statements from
Senator Lamar, Of South Carolina,
who has been abroad looking into
the immigration problem. He finds
the authorities OF foreign countries
taking effective steps to weed out
from among intending emigrants all
such as may be Objectionable and bs
sent back upon arrival III America.
There is, however, nothing striking
III the statements attributed to him.
Italy is encouraging emigration, while
all other European countries are more
or less averse to it. The people who
are coming this way from the old
world naturally follow the same lines
of latitude on which they have pre-
vlOusly lived, in order that they may
find natural conditions similar to those
to which they have become accustomed.
The real solution Of the problem,
SO far as it affects this country, must
be found on this side The general
more and better people from Europe
than we are getting. The countries
from which they must come want
them to be fewer and inferior. How
we are to get more people and at
the same time better people seems
an lnsolvable proposition, and it
would appear that we must take one
horn or the other of the dilemma.
We must perforce take more people
at the sacrifice Of quality, Or we can
take better at the loss of numbers.
Our home sentiment is divided. The
employers Of labor want numbers,
with the only requisite that they can
work in the lines of hardest toll The
public generally wants only the best
quality, preferably those who are not
compelled to work for living but
who are the possessors OF enough
means and training to qualify them
for the higher walks Of life and a
high grade of citizenship.
AS has always heretofore been the
case, we will get neither the one nor
the other exclusively. Those whom
the general public would best like to
have are mostly satisfied at home,
while those who are dissatisfied are
chiefly the laboring classes who will
have to undergo an apprenticeship
of two or three generations before
they are adapted to Our institutions,
and many will never become so, sim
ply adding to the bulk of our undesir-
able element We may be able 10
improve conditions, but never to make
them even approximately conform to
Our ideal.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. April 20.-There was
no perceptiblc current in the price
movement in the stock market until
the last Is minutes of tradlng, when
prices stiffened slightly with a few
of the speculative leaders in the adj
vance. The volume of dealings was
INSIGNIFICANT. The unfavOrable bank
statement was anticiDated and was
ignored. In fact, the weakening bank
position in New York is accepted as
an index of actual relaxation of money
conditions since the expansion OF New
York bank loans is due to the taxing
over of loans from interior banks,
which find no attraction in the pre-
vailing low level Of interest rates III
New York.
Thc declining money rates, when
continued in London today, do not
seem to affect the progress OF these
remittances to pay foreign loans. Inc
gain in cash by the banks was near
~ equal. to previous estimates. Prices
of bonds showed some slight i'm
provement, but business in thai de-
paltment was profoundly duh.

Confession creed and Money Found.

Wilmington, y. G., April 18.-The
confession and arrest of young Mel
son was accomplished his morning
by Col. S. r. Hooten, Chief Of the
Postoftice Inspection Service at Balti-
more, Postoflice Inspector William j.
Maxwell, Of Baltimore, and District
Inspector S. II. Buck. Nelson Ia re-
Gently resigned from the service to en-
gage in the confectionery business on
one of the most prominent corners in
the city, and accompanied by his wife,
to whom he was married fifteen
months ago, and by his mother, he
had gone to New York a short time
after the package had disappeared.
He was followed there by the inspeC-
tors and was located at the Imperial
Hotel. eleven hundred and seventy
dollars being found in his O%vercOat
pocket. The inspectors however,
could get nothing satisfactory from
him and he was Swallowed by Pinker-
ton men until he returned to Will
mington. Certain of the currency on
his person wa of the denomination
stolen. Upon the advice Of District
Attorney Skinner, at G~reenville. n. G,
q warrant was sworn out for his ar
est. This was served on Nelson this
morning and in explaining about some
money that he had on his person with
sealing wax on it, he said that he had
found that in an envelope in the postal
clerks rOOm in the wilmington post
office. With his entering wedge in
an improbable story, he was then
forced to the confession and told all.
All but $1,500 he had buried under his
house on South Front street. h
officers accompanying him there, he
went under the house, raped in the
sand and unearthcd $500 Of the cur
rency wrapped in an DID newspaper.
Nine hundred dollars had been taken
from him in New York by the insDec-
tors, and under the impression that
he might escape prosecution, the re-
naming $500 was Immediately made
good from building and loan stock
that he carried.
Nelson said that he accomplished
the robbery of the pouch when his
run expired beween Wilmington and
Rocky Mount Tuesday morning,
March 26th. 1t was his duty to check
in the successor on the run for that
week and While in the car that even
ing at the station in Wilmington, he
sent Clerk Frank Powers to the mail
box under the shed to get the usual
letters saying that he sDrained his
back ana was. not able to get out OF
the car. Powers had receiDtcd for
the PACKAGE but reposing every conf
dence in Nelson, he left the pouch and
