but that prosperous times will be our
good fortune next year and probably
for short time thereafter. Let us
realize. however. that our prosperity
and the wonderful prosperity in al
most every line of business through
out the United States rests on a very
slender foundation. and that lean
years are sure To follow in the wake
of the termination of the European
war, and let us also bear in mind our
constantly rising cost of production.
The increased cost of leSoT and ma
teriais going into the production of a
ton of sugar has been very great, and
one does not have to be prophet to
forecast very heavy increase in the
cost Of marketing our sugar during
the next few years. There has been
a tremendous expansion in the sugar
industry of Cuba and in the beet SUI
gar industry of the United States, and
when the European nations can again
devote themselves to peaceful occu-
nations, there viii be production OF

In much needed improvements in the
mills and in the fields whereby the
cost of production may be lowered
and yields increased, and all of the
plantations are preparing in their
own way to fit themselves for the
struggle which is surely before US.
Ny only hope is that this conserya-
tive policy may continue, and if it
does, feel sure that when the time
of stress comes We shall not be found
wanting.
Crop for Year
The total production of sugar Tor
the year ending September 80 last was
593,4SS short tons, nearly $4,000 tons
less than the previous year. The Isl
and of Hawaii led in production, pro-
ducing ,654 tons, and next in order
comes Maui with 15O,312 tons. Oahu
1896 tons, and Kauai with i0S,55l
tons
Unfayorable weather conditions on
the island of Hawaii during the crop
season very materially reduced the
production of that island, and if II
had not been for this. the production
OF the islands for this year would have
been only slightly lower than that OF
the previous year.
1T is pleasure and source of
qualification to all of. us that while
enjoying exceedingly prosperous
times the plantations have unselfish-
ly and voluntarily shared this pros,
perity with. those who till the soil
and perform the manual labor neces.
sary, in the production of sugar. What
ever may be the criticism of the high
percentage of bonus paid to the plan
tation workers, il is unquestionably
true that the fundamental principle
underlying the bonus system, which
is, that in times of prosperity the Ia
borer shall share therein with the EN-.
ployer, is correct; and il Is TO the

That John H. Murphy will be re-
elected road commissioner of Maury
county at the January term of the
Quarterly Court is now foregone
conclusion Only one thing, according
to present indication, could prevent
this result, and that would be the posi-
tive statement from Mr. Murphy that
ne was not a candidate and that is not
anticipated.
Mr.. Murphy's reelection has been
assured for some time, in fact, there
has been no reason to doubt it, and
his complete vindication of the charges
made against him in the custer suit,
makes more than ever certain that he
will be again elected for a three-year
term. No other candidate has been
mentioned or considered for the place.
Mr. Murphy will at the January term
complete three years service as road
commissioner Prior to that time he
served for several years as district
commissioner Of the Ninth district and
