Growth in Production


 One of the most striking features of the details of the years sugar record is the large growth of our production Of beef sugar, which is estimated for the current year at about 1,l0OO GOO pounds, against 1,200,0o0.000 last year, about 1000 : 00,000 pounds in 1910, less than 4s5, 600 coo in 1905, 16},0O0,0OO in 1900, 100000 in 1895 and 5000,0O0 in 1890. In 22 years the beet sugar industry has grown from an almost negligible quantity to one of the largest factors in the sugar consumption of the country.
 About one-fourth of the sugar con- sumed in the United States in the cur rent Wear was from our own fields nearly another one-fourth came from Hawaii ana Porto Rico and the remainder from foreign countries, chiefly Cuba
 The total sugar consumption of 1912 will presumably exceed that of any earlier year. Certainly the total brought into the country plus that produced in the United States will aggregate more than that of any other year, while the quan- tity exported from so small a percent age of that brought in as to justify the assertion that the sugar consumption of the year will be larger than ever before and will amount to about S7 pounds per capita. against 80 pounds per capita in 1910, B pounds per capita in 1900, 5l pounds in iS90 39la pounds in 1880 and 32s4 pounds per capita in 1870 Thus the quantity con- sumed per capita has a little more than doubled since 1880. the total quantity con suned having more than quadrupled meantime. The girls are eating more candy, the great American pie of com merce is more universally in favor and more folks are taking a little sugar in

Cost to Purchaser


 Tho cost 10 the purchaser of the more than 5000, ,O00.000 pounds of sugar con- sumed in the United States in 1912 will approximate S400,00 The value in the country whence imported was: That from foreign countries, about $l20,000000; that from Hawaii. approximately S47, 000,000, and that from Porto Rico, approximately S30,- 000o 900, making q total to the country of production of about S200, O00,0O0 for that produced outside of continental United States. and to this must be added the duties paid, and the cost of refining and distribution. This in conjunction with the value of the beet and cane sugar pro- dueed in the United States easily brings the cost to the consumer to approximately S4oo, ,0O0,000 or an average of more than $l ,O90, GOO day.
 A little more than one-half of the sugar consumed in the country is used for household purposes, the remainder by the manldacturing establishments, chiefly, however, in the preparation of articles utilized for food and drink

FoR. DIR. C. NJ. SHELDON.
Religious COlored People Pass ReSOlu-
tions Regretting His Departure.

At a largely attended meeting of col
ored people of all religious denomina-
tions, the following resolutions were
adopted:
we. the people of this audience, rep
resenting all of the religious denomi-
nations among the colored people or
this city, desire to give expression to
our sentiments regarding the minis
try, and work of the Rev. DR.. Charles
NJ. Sheldon, with whose presence VIC
are honored tonight-especially so, in
sofar as his ministry has had to DC
with our people.
The interest which DR.. Sheldon has
felt in the welfare of the colored peo-
pie of this city and this community
has been and is today. both bene-
diction and an inspiration to all the
ministers, and to all the churches, &c
all the teachers and workers, whose
duty it is to labor in the common
cause of human betterment.
We cherish it as a high honor, and
rare privileges to have lived in the
same city with one of the most dis
tinguished ministers and citizens Of
this republic; but higher and better
still do we esteem it to have had his
wholesome good will, to have shared
in his broad sympathies, and to have
been the object and center of so much
interest and helDfulness-
When we have prospered he has re-
joiced, when we met with reverses, he
has ever been ready to give the en-
couraging word, and to extend the
helping hand. With our weaknesses.
imperfections and short comings, while
others perhaps would have listened t.
the voice of Il told you so,'' he has
remained steadfast and true-encourag-
ing the good, strengthening the weak
and rebuking the short comingS not
with tongue. nor pen, but with the
pure white light of dignified and sane
titled Christian example and manhood

BEEF WAS BAD.
Naval Officers Reject 10000 Out OF
$4,000 Pounds Offered.

Washington May 24.-The navy
department telegraphed the Philadel-
phia navy yard today for full re-
port regarding the rejection of 20. 600
pounds of beef delivered yesterday by
the contractor for use in the naval
transport Prairie. Only 1000 out OF
a consignment of $4,000 pounds were
accepted.
This is not the first time the navy
department. has had trouble with meat
contractors attempting to supply a
ship under hurried sailing orders with
bad beef with the idea it wuold be
to accept it or go without.
If the meat rejected at Philadel-
phia was below standard II VIII have
the effect of barring the contractor
from further bidding for navy trade.

We look upon the ministry of DIR.
| Sheldon for these % years in our midst,
not in the ordinary sense of the COME
and go ministers, as important to the
kingdom as such ministry is, but We
Hook upon it as a special providence.
with definite and special message
which has come not alone to his own
church and people. but to all the people
with special divine sanction and ap-
p-ova1.
We are conscious to our inability tic
express in words all that this ministry
has been to us. We are also mindful
of our limitations to estimate the big
ness Of this ministry, as it really shall
appear in the days which are yet Ic
conae, but we feel entirely warranted
in the statement that the real great
ness of the man and the diyineness OF
his message is yet to be realized by
both white and colored, while notwith-
standing the fact at present, we vie
with each other in doing him honor
All of the great doctrines of the Bible
earth, but the condition which OBJ
tains among the people of any genera
ton clearly indicates to the man oil
God, the doctrine which should re-
ceive most emphasis, and if he be 4
man of true courage, he will not con-
suit with flesh and blood. neither will
he be unfaithful to the heavenly call
ing. The doctrine which in our JudS-
ment has needed special emphasis IN
this generation is the .fatherhood OF
God, and the brotherhood of man,
and this doctrine, DR.. Sheldon has pro-
claimed with great force. with wonder
full clearness, and with singular beauty.
His vision of the magnitude and
greatness of the kingdom of God, has
inspired US all to climb to the de-
lectable heights of spiritual vision :
the result is that we appreciate more
fully than ever before the dignity OF
the situation in which we are placed
citizens of the kingdom, and subjects
of the king of kings and Lords oil
Lords. A few months ago the sad in
active labor of DR.. Sheldon as one OF
the pastors was soon to be transferred
to the larger field of ministerial ser
vice; therefore, be it resolved,
First-That in this transfer We, the
colored people of this city, do hereby
express and record our sense of definite
and personal loss.
Second-That this sense of loss is not
only the sentiments of the few, but the
feelings of the many; and
Third-That our loss is only partially
for in the fact that ne

that it is, and shall be our prayer
that wherever he goes, on |
and or sea, in the halls of the great |
Or in the cabins of the lowly, that by |
mis- ministry the word of God may |
run and be glorified, and while Dr.. |
Sheldon needs no Endorsement from us |
yet nevertheless we commend to the |
