1t appeared two weeks ago as if Novem-
Der had brought another spell of dry wea-
Their. For the first few days there was no
record from the guage, and up to the 10th
but few places had taken as much us half an
iuch of ruin. Heavy showers fell, however,
on the 18th and within forty-eight hours
there was an inch registered on the 18th
ahere was IN inch again, the 10th was rainy
the 10Th gave a wet evening and Of an
inch was taken up in the morning of the
next day.
It naay be said that we have this year ex-
perienced two wet seasons. There was what
we may call an early wet season, of moderate
but fairly regular rains, which commenced in
the first week of July and continued for ten
weeks, giving in the most favoured localities
from II to over 20 inches of rain during that
period. Then followed q period of defcien-
CIV, extending from the middle of September
to the end Of the first week in October, in
all, rather more than three weeks, during
which time not more than two inches of rain
fell. On the 9th October the latter wet sea-
son began, and it has continued with but
slight irregularity up to the present time.
Some districts of the red soils have hid
heavy rains during this period and during
the past 6 weeks the mean precipitation in
the hill parishes has Deel aO0ut Ii lucheS;
one locality had over 20 inches for October
alone.
The cane crop has made a marked impove-
ment during the last period. Flrst-crop
canes have grown luxuriantly, the young
shoots developing rapidly: ratoons have
taken up the chemical manure applied to
them, aud have both punched and grown
freely. Flowering is general, except in the
const districts, and with SOM of the new
varieties which are not given to much arrow

travelling on the railway.
The provision crops also exhibit a vigorous
growth of vine aud stalk. Ytms cover the
ground entirely: a few early yams have BEEN
sold ia the market, not as many as are gene
rally seen in November, but there have b9en
some good specimens, both with respect to
size and to quality. Potatoes of satisfactory

muscovado sugar, and it is more economical
to ship ceDtrifugals in bags than in hogs
heads. In some places the mill points have
been hoisted, and the making of syrup will
probably be commenced before the and of
the year.
The quantity of sugar produce shipped,
for this year up to November 20 amount to
1l,l55 tons of sugar and S0,227 puncheons
Of syrup and molasses, which is about two
thirds Of the amount for the corresponding
period of last yeal,-a result which is far
better than any one here anticipated a year
ago.
The Customs Report for 1912 was publish
ed in the Official Gazette of the 7th instant,
and showed the amount of sugar produce in
tons of molasses and sugar together, export
ed in 1912, to have been 71,253, which
places last year fifth in order with respect to
expectation of the past 8 years. The value
of the Islands products of all kinds was Sc
cond highest among the value of the exports
for the 8 years. Canada was the ~colony'a
chief customer for both sugar and molas~es,
the amount which we shipped to the Domi-
MON last year being %, 655 hogsheads of
sugar and Sc, 5O7 puncheons of molasses.
In the opinion of one of the leading plant
ers of Cuba. that country stands to benefit
most, of all sugnr-growing countries. by the
new American tariff. She is nearest to the
American mar ket, and she has nm unlimited
amount of land yet undeveloped which is
suitable for cane-growing. The sugar dis
tricts of the United States are too far from
the markets to compete successfully against
Cuba. Besides that the cost of production
is with them greater. Porto Rico has no
more new land suitable for cane, and she is
further from the markets than Cuba. In
Hawaii the cost of production is too expen-
sive. In the Philippines, with the prospect
of self goyernment being granted to the Is
lands soon, there viii be reluctance on the
part of Americans to invest more money
there. We may, therefore, expect soon to
see the output Of Sugar i'll Cuba rising to
millions of tons in excess of the present pro
duction.

Chicago, Dec 8.-Professor David
Lingle, department examiner in phys

has struck blow at the high cost of
living" He advocates picking" fresh
eggs when they are cheap and eating
the picked eggs months later when
the hens have gone on strike.
THE picked eggs are not quite so
palatable," declared Professor Lingle,
"but they retain all the nourishing
properties.
Picked eggs in nearly every other
particular are as satisfactory as
freshly laid. They will fry, scramble
and hard boil.
The only way in which they are not
easily prepared is soft boiled
"The question of reducing the cost
of living is not one of any special ar
ticle of diet being replaced, but bur
rather an adjustable and carefully
balanced diet.
There are numerous foods which
may be made use of. Nuts, a product
of california, are a staple diet.

SOUTHERN BELL
HELPS MOVEMENT

Atlanta, Dec. S.-That generous an
onymous subscription of $4,000 to
Oglethorpe University has been made
public 1t came from the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, and by CIV
ing it the Bell company had the honor
of being the first big corporation listed
for a subscription to Atlanta's great
educational movement.
In giving this $4,000, the Southern
Bell is consistently pursuing the poi
icy which it has held for years of aid
ing in the upbuilding and growth of
the communities in which 1t operates
Much justification resulted from
the announcement of the subscription
last week, as it was one of the largest
yet received from any source.

ATLANTA DIVORCE LAW
SHOULD Be CHANGED

Atlanta, Dec. 8.-Atlanta IS prepar-
ing to re-establish her title this week
as the Reno of the South, with the
heaviest superior court divorce dock
ct in her history.
With more than 500 divorces al
ready granted in 1913, the present
calendar has 179 more, and before to-
night it is believed the total will run
to nearly 200.
Only a small proportion of the prin-
cipals in the divorce cases are life
long Atlantians. The remainder are
made up of that floating population
that comes and goes from year to year.
Atlanta Is suffering apparently not
so much from the incompatability Of
it's own married couples as from TIL
fact that Georgia is an extremely easy
state to get divorce in.
There is an undefended divorce suit
law by which if the person sued cam
not be found, the serving of the papers
can be made legal simply by publica-
ton. Then the divorce can go on, ami
a wife who has husband in Indian
apolis or Hong Kong can get divorce
in Atlanta while the husband perhaps
may not know that the proceedings
are going on at all.
Nearly all the divorces are based on
the stock charges of cruel treatment
and desertion, or non support In some
form or other. The ones which charge
infidelity are not nearly so numerous
as those which charge cruel treat
ment.

Atlanta, Dec. 8.-A statewide dis

The fact is developing that while
woman suffrage may have many ardent
supporters in Georgia, many thinking
men and women are just as deeply OPP
posed to it,
Woman suffrage has become the
leading question with the juvenile de-
batting societies, and no speaking pro-
gram among the grown-ups is COM

CITY ELECTRICIAN In
SQUABBLE With
Authorities

Atlanta, Dec. S.-The city electrician
now seems to have about reached the
fist-fghting stage-to which every po-
litical wrangle in Atlanta apparently

At least it has got to the point where
conversation ends. AS old Touchstone
describes the various gradations, the

modest, the retort courteous, to the re-

where conversation ends and action

THOMAS HARDY INJURED
AT C0SSEYS SHlPYARD

Thomas Hardy, of Androvette street,
~Tottenville, employed at Henry Cos
sey's shipyard in Trout street, Totem
vile, is confined to his home with q Sc
we're scalp wound as the result of be-
ing struck in the head with a piece of
timber at the shipyard on Saturday
morning. Hardy, with a Hungarian
driver, was getting timber from a pile
in the yard when the heavy piece
rolled from the top of the pile and be-
fore he could get out of the way he
vas struck IN the head by a glancing
blow that knocked him to the ground.
He was carried to the office of the CON
Germ and a physician summoned. DR..
Walker Washington, of Main street,
who arrived shortly afterward, had the
injured man removed to his home in an
automobile. The wound was bandaged
and on Sunday DR.. Washington took
several stitches in it. If the timber
had struck Hardy a direct blow it
would probably have killed him in
stantly. 1t will be some time before
he will be able to return to work
again.
