Burglar Hungry and Thirsty

The office of the Southern Express com pany and the store of J. G. Woodruff ts- Co.,, at Alexandria were burglarized by an unknown person Monday night and It is believed that the postoffice which is located in Woodruff's store, would have been footed had the burglar not been frightened away
 According to informa tion received here the work was evidently that of a hun gry and thirsty man, for nothing has been missed from the Woodruff store ex- cept a large amount of canned goods and the only thing missed from the express office was some whisky which had been shipped in to Alexandria GUS toners. No clew was left as to the per petrator of the offense.

year. The net income from this estate
for a period Of years. according to the
boows, which were produced and exam
med by the English syndicate which
bought the estate, averaged $4,000 a
year. The price paid for the property
was So 900, 900. 1t will be seen from this
that the average annual net income on
the investment was q per cent, or $3.50
per bag Of sugar. The dinerential en-
joyed by the Cuban sugar planter In the
American sugar markets IL about 50 CLIO
cents per hundred pounds as compared
with the $1.66 per hundred pounds pro-
lection afforded the Porto Rican sugar
planter.
1t Is generally recognized that the Porto
Rican sugar planter cannot produce sugar
as cheaply as his neighbor in Cuba, due
to the fact that the land must be planted
about every two years In Porto Rico.
whereas the average planting In Cuba
lasts for about seven years. The Porto
Rican sugar planter declares that the
amount OF sugar can approximates 10
per cent. Disinterested people put the
figure at l. per cent. The Porto Ricans
claim that it costs $3.50 ton to raise
the cane. That would be $40 ton for the
sugar They assert that 1t costs $lJ to
manufacture q ton Of sugar. The aver
age price for Porto Rican sugar in New
York for ten years has been $3.50 a hun
dred pounds. According to these figures.
the price per ton OF sugar, without any
tariff, would be $17.6O. According to the
testimony OF Don Antonio Alcaide, Of the
Sugar Growers Association Of Porto Rico
the profits. without tariff, would be $l1 50
The difference In these two estimates
arises from the fact that he assumes that
the cane yields only 10 per cent of sugar,
whereas disinterested authorities put ii
at IL per cent. 1t Is probable that the
truth lies somewhere between these two
estimates.
The Porto Rican sugar planter cannot
