9he Next Step.

Statewide prohibition will be
the next step for South Carolina.
1t seems that the prohibitionists
have grown luke. warm or the
people are tired Of the next
county to them selling whiskcv
and getting the revenue and at
the same time causing a great
deal Of trouble in the dry Coun-
ty. Let us get the next general
assembly to pass q law allow
ing us to vote on the question
Of dispensary or no dispcnsary
in the state and lei that settle it.
We are willing to test the mat
ter and abide by the result. We
believe that by organizing our
forces and putting good men in
the lead, not politicians, but
good, wise, conservative men,
we can win. Our failure in the
past, almost every time we have
had a chance to win out on the
prohibition fight, some design
ing politician has come to the
front and defeated the move
mont. Let us have a fair
square campaign on the matter
OF selling Or not selling liquor
in this state. We are in for
prohibition first, last and all the
time. but if our friends who are
always crying out for local op-
ton, will make the state line
the local option line for one
time, wo will join our friends
for local option and make the
very best fight we can for it.
What do you say to that local
optionist?
Wo can begin now to organ
ice and whip the traffic out Of
the state, but it will take organ
ization and work, with wise
leadership. Would it not be
wise to call a convention of the
prohibitionists of the state and
petition the next legislature to
pass a law allowing US to vote
on the question; separate it
from politics, and formulate
plans for the campaign, should
the legislature allow US to vote,
rs we believe they would if q
general desire should be express
Cd on the subject.

The Consumption OF
Whisky.

In recent years prohibition
has made great gains. Some
states and a great many coun-
ties have been enlisted under
the white banner. A recent
writer in the North American
Review SAYS:
The saloon has been expell-
Cd from one-half of the popula-
ton and from two-thirds of the
geographical area Of the coun.
try. In 1868 there were $780,
600 people living in territory
where the drink traffic had been
outlawed; in 1900 the number
had increased to 10, 900, 600; in
1908, or only eight years after,
the number had doubled to So
O00, 1000. and today there are 49,
OBS, 750 persons. or q fraction
over onc-half Of the population
OF the country, living in no
license territory. In the last
five years the no-license popula-
ton has increased a little oyer
10000 600, which is more than
10 per cent of the total popula-
ton of the nation and 80 per
cent increase in the number liv-
ing in dry districts, Since
1868 the population of the coun.
try has doubled, while the mum
Der of inhabitants of dry terri
tory has increased over thirteen
fold"

CENTS.
SPECIAL TO THE Journal

Brooksville. Fla, Nov. 1.-SeveraI
large syrup mills are now being put
UP In this country. one Of the largest
being installed at Lake Stafford. r
near tina. place.
Our truckers and farmers during
the East season have quadrupled their
cane acreage and as result Herman
quantity Of fine Florida syrup this
year than she has ever done before.
The mills pay the farmer and
trucker SIS a ton for their cane. de-
1tvered at the mills. and at this rate
the grower can get from 500 to SITS
per acre, according to just how Wei
the cane 10 cultivated.
The rich hammock lands of this
county will produce twenty tons Of
care to the acre, and this without
any cultivation at all other than the
planting and gathering. but II the
ground is specially prepared. the same
land win make an average of thirty
five tons to the acre.
Most or the mills prefer the Japa-
nese variety of cane. but will take any
kind OF cane that they can get. The
reason that they prefer the Japanese
age the people in the cultivation of
that particular variety. because. they
claim that 1t is raised with consider
ably less the effort and produces more
to the acre and in addition does not
have to be planted oftener than once
in every three or four years. where
the ribbon or green" cane variety
has to be planted every year Another
thing In favor of the JAP cane is that
it is not necessary for the farmer to
strip 1t. which has to be done with
any other kind of care. This lessons
the work as well as the cost of pro-
duction, therefore the Jap variety of
cane Is fast taking the place of any
other kind of cane grown in this
county
400 Gallons of Syrup to the Acre.
The man who raises his own cane
and manufactures the syrup himself
can, 1t is claimed under ordinarily
favorable circumstances produce an
average Of ten barrels of syrup 10 the
acre. Ten barrels is 400 gallons OF
syrup. and this can be easily sold for
so cents the gallon. At this rate the
average hammock land. as well as
some OF the pine lands of this county
which are especially adapted to the
cultivation OF sugar cane. will give
the grower a gross sum of around
$40 to the acre, out of which will
have to come the net cost of produc-
tion, which includes cost of farm la
Dor in preparing the land and har-
vesting the crop as well as manusac-
turing the syrup and putting it in
bottles jugs and barrels. The cost Of
this production should not be over
500 the acre (which the writer be-
Iieves is a great deal more than any
acre of cane. bottled or barreiled af-
ter it is made into syrup ever did
cost, so the producer should net
around $40 for each and every acre
of cane he produces in this county.
At this rate it will not take long for
our planters TO get over on the sun

AGE-coMPLAlNTs ARE AN
SEVERED.

Many complaints hrving been re-
ceived from people who send registered
or insured mail. that they do not re-
eeive return receipt from the receiv-
ing office, the department at Washing
ton calls attention to the fact that no
receipt Will be returned unless the
sender specifically requests the return
Of a receipt.
Postmaster A. G. Fell therefore, calls
attention to this ruling of the depart
ment, and urges the public to remem-
Der that # Il desires a return receipt
from the person receiving registered or
return mail. il must make this known
at the time of sending the package or
letter. Otherwise they will receive
none.
Tho department has also issued an
order that trains must not pull out of
q station while mail is in process of
being loaded, or when the conductor
or t-ainmen know that it is being
truciSed from wagons or another part
of the station 10 the train.
Exception Is made in the case OF
trains at connecting points, stating
that letter and daily paper mail must
be loaded, and other mail may wait,
when there is another train to follow
at a conveniently close time.

cultivate cane to any considerable
acreage.
As matter of fact for the past
two or three years Florida syrup has
retailed for from seventy-five cents
10 81 a gallon even here in Brooks
vile, right in the heart of the section
IN which II is produced. and there Is
no questions about the farmer being
able to dispose OF all the syrup he
can raise for sixty cents, and even
more, the gallon. One wholesale gro
Gerry concern. located in Tampa, fifty
miles distant, offered to take 100000
gallons of fernando county syrup
some two years ago, and We have no
doubt but that the same company
would be only too glad to get hold of
twice that amount now. and at an
advanced price over what they offer
ed to take If for then. This would
seem to indicate that there will be
plentiful demand for all the syrup
that cur truckers and farmers care to
produce.
