Thomson, Some Sorghum Notes. SORGHUM SUGAR REFINERY. The Board ot Trade Takes Hold of the Subjeet in Earnest. In the Pkkss of last week we mentioned the fact tbat Prof. M.

A. Seovell, of Champaign, Illinois, had left with us, as secretary of the board of trade, five samples of sugar made from sorghum eane and statistics relating to this industry. Last Thursday evening the directors of the board of trade met and took the subject under advisement. The process by which this sorghum sugar is manufactured has been developed and patented by Profs. We tier Seovell, formerly professors ia the university at Champaign, Illinois.

They have devoted themselves to this work exclusively for years past and have succeeded admirably. We still have samples of live grades of their sugar at this office for inspection by the public. The most acute taste cannot detect any of the sorghum "twang'' in them. There can be no question about the fact that a superior quality of sugar can be made from sorghum cane. The next question, then, is: "Will the manufacture of sugar from sorghum pay?" "Will it pay the farmer to raise it?" "Will it pay the capitalist to manufacture it?" To answer these questions most satisfactorily we subjoin a certified statement of the operations of the Champaign Sugar Company for the year 1882, as follows: Room 2, Staub's Block.

30tf. Fultz A Millakd. Stuts of Kansas, Sumner county. )' in the District Court of County: We will Cheap Coal and Lots of It. There has been more or less talk in this city for a month past in reference to boring for coal.

This agitation took definite shape at the meeting of the board of trade directors last Thursday evening. John S. McMahan made a proposition to bore a 5 in. hole to the depth of 1,000 ft. or until he struck coal at a less depth in the following terms: $600.00 cash when he has the necessary machinery on the ground ready for operation; $400.00 for repairs and $1.00 per foot for the fiist 500 ft.

bored, and S2.00 per foot for the second 500 ft. bored. At the completion of each 100 ft. he is to be paid one-half of the price for boring and a like proportion of the $400.00. At the completion of 500 ft.

he is to be paid up in full, and also at the completion of 1,000 or whenever he strikes coal. He also agrees to give the company furnishing the money, the nrivil-ege of mining any coal discovered, for the usual royalty. The opinion of the gentlemen present was that the $2,500 necessary could be raised and a committee consisting of Capt. L. K.

Myers, A. Graff and T. C. Gatliff, was appointed to draft the necessary contract with Air. McMahan and to secure the subscription of the money required.

It seems to us that this is a very favorable opportunity to test the question, once for all, whether there is coal, within working distance in this locality. It will cost $2,500, no more, no less, to bore a hole 1,000 feet. There is no after-clap, no second and third call for more money; neither is the money paid until the work is done. It is an established fact that there is coal north, south, east and west of us. Many believe there is coal here and so long as this question remains unsettled there will be periodical agitations of the subject.

The sum of $2,500 would never be missed by the city of Wellington. Let us all chip in then and sae what a 1,000 ft. hole will develop. If we strike nothing but water, all right it may be an Artesian well and solve the water works question but if it is nothing more than the meanest alkali well; we can charge our contributions up to "profit and loss" with the satisfaction of having lost in a good cause. If coal should be struck, Wellington has a bonanza.

The lovers of good acting should not fail to attend the Louie Lord performances as this is one of the very best companies that travels in the west. City politics are commencing to warm up. It is no uncommon sight to see little button hole clusters discussing the mayorality and like questions. The Wellington Library association is preparing a play entitled "The Streets of New York" for an early performance.

The object is to raise funds with which to purchase books. There will be preaching in the court bouse next Sabbath evening by Rev. E. C. Fergason.of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.

All the members of the church are requested to attend. Bill Hutchison, of the Caldwell Commercial, came up to the countv seat to swap yarns with the boys on Monday. There was no train down that evening, so William spelled a few words and remained over night. School district treasurers and all others interested are invited to read Superintendent Ratliffe's notice in reference to the annual apportionment of the state school fund which was received on the Kith inst. It might be well for the farmers to plant a few acres to sorghum this spring.

Even if there should be no sugar factory started in Wellington, the crop will pay handsomely. We have heard many farmers remark that they could get more good out of one acre of sorghum than any other crop. The most of the county papers still persist in giving Charles Willsie, as county attorney, Charles W. Merse, clerk of the district court, and E. Evans as probate judge in their official directory.

For the benefit of these organs we will say that these men no longer hold the reins of government, bat have stepped down and out sometime ago, and new men have taken their places. July 0, 188:2, we wrote and published a local in these words: "We would advise farmers to hold their wheat unless they can get a fair price for it and we do not consider 70 or 80 cents such a For the expression we were berated at the time and afterwards by-merchants who declared that that one little squib had done Wellington thousands of dollars of harm. Well, during the past week, wheat that then sold for 75 to 80 cents has been bringing 90 cents. Wheat gains in weight by storage and 124 per cent gain in seven months is pretty fair interest, even if wheat goes no higher. We know of no more meritorious project in this vicinity that the Wellington Library association.

The object of this Association is to create a large library of good and usefnl books. A thoroughly good book that is well circulated and read in a community does as much or more good than the life and practice of a thoroughly good man. A good book purifies and ennobles the lfieof its readers and begets in him a desire for other good books. There is no mightier influence for the betterment of the public in any community that a library of choice books. The association that has been formed here is just starting, and any assistance rendered it at the present time will effect much more than the same efTort after it lias been well established.

Let every good citizen lend it a helping hand. mentof $25,000 made a net profit of into glucose. The manufacture of sugar requires an abundance of water. The skimmings at a sorghum sugar factory are fed to hogs. For sugar purposes it should be cut while in the toughening dough.

A sorghum sugar refinery employs from forty-five to fifty workmen. The body of the cane, after the juice has been extracted, makes first class fuel. It is not necessary to strip the leaves from tne stalk or to cut off the tops of sorghum for the sugar refinery. When the cane comes to the factory in a rush it is reduced to a semi-sirup and stored away until it can be crystallized. Last year, Judge L.

F. Blodgett raised seventeen tons of sorghum to the acre on his farm southwest of Wellington ou the ridge, For sugar purposes the cane should be worked up the next day alter it is cut. The machinery is run night and day during the cutting season. If sorghum is cut in July or August, numerous suckers will spring up around the main stalk and the make very best of late pasture for any kind of live stock. Prof.

F. A. Parsons, formerly of Champaign, Illinois, says he will gladly dispose of his banking "business in Harper and put all his means into the manufacture of sugar here. Mr. C.

G. Larned, senior member of the hardware and implement house of C. G. Larned is a former resident of Champaign, Illinois, and says his firm will put every dollar they can spare out of their business into the sugar refinery, if the project goes on. One of the greatest advantages of sugar refinery is that whereas we now send thousands of dollars out of Sumner county every year to purchase sugar, we would then net only keep this money at home, but send sugar away and bring more money into the county.

At the close of last season the Champaign, Illinois, sugar company increased its capital stock from to $.50,000. The old stockholders asked the privilege of taking what they wanted of this new stock and outsiders filed applica tions for it. After the old stockholders had been satisfied there were $2,400 left and one man the first outsider applying took it all at once. WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN-Forth week endinsr Feb. 21.

If desired. JOHN BI'ltaUT, -4tl Oxford, Kasssdft $7,148.50 off of the cane raised on 244 acres of land. The same investment could have worked up the cane of 1,000 acres just as well, had it been raised and the profits would have been correspondingly increased. Besides, there are several items of expense which are notable. The rent of land costs $7.00 per acre; as good land could be rented here for $2.50 per acre.

The cultivation of ISoacresof cane cost the company $3,678.59 cash, or within a small fraction of $20.00 per acre. This is due to the fact that last season was very unfavorable in that locality and it was necessary to hoe the cane, thoroughly, three times. Of course, these expenses cut down the profits. The average yield of eane from the 244 acres was 94 tons per acre. For what the company purchased they paid from $2.50 to $3.00 per ton at the factory.

The best yield made by any one field was a 121 acre lot raised by one John G. Clark, of 12.08 tons per acre. He sold his cane for $2.50 per ton, or $30.20 per acre. The company kept a separate account of this lot and made a profit of $742.57, or $59.41 per acre on it. Now, the proposition which Profs.

Weber Seovell make to the people of Wellington is this: That a stock com-daiiy be formed with a capital of with which to put up the necessary building and purchase the machinery required. This stoek company is to have absolute control of the business. Weber Seovell will furnish an expert ehemist who will use their patented process in manufacturing the sugar and molasses. They will pay this chemist's salary. In return for this and the use of their process they ask a royalty of one cent per pound on the first 300,000 pounds of sugar manufactured; of a cent of the second 300,000 pounds, and cent on all over 600,000 pounds.

They will use their process in taking all the sorghum taste out of the molasses but ask no royalty on the molasses. After the board of directors had lis-tenen to a full explanation of the whole subject by Prof. F. A. Parsons, of Harper, who was present and was invited to address them, a motion was made and carried appointing Judge John G.

Woods, a committee to visit Champaign and investigate the whole subject and report to a future meeting of the board, and empowering the president to substitute some one else in Judge Woods' place, in case he could not go. It seems to us, that no institution would be productive of more benefit to Wellington and Sumner county than a sorghum sugar refinery. We are well satisfied that there will be little or no trouble in securing the necessary money if the report of the committee visiting Champaign is favorable. In fact, we are informed that two men stand ready to put $15,000 into the enterprise. It will be even more beneficial to the farming cemmunity.

A number of farmers inform us that sorghum is the very surest crop raised in this county and that ten tons per acre is a small yield. At $2.50 per ton this vi ould give the farmer $25.00 per acre for his crop, and the best feature of it is that it would come on the market late in July or during August just that season of the year when so many farmers are hard up and have to give chattel mortgages to get enough money to earry them until they can sell something. The time required to cultivate a few aeresvould never be missed and $100 or $200 from the sale of the cane would come mighty nice about the first of August. Resolution of Respect.

Its title is "Hill's Manual of Social and Business Forms." We have been familiar with this work for years and know of no book that is more desirable in the home or business office, excepting the Bible and Webster's dictionary only. In fact, were we placed under circumstances where we could have only three books, Hill's Manual would be one of the three. It is replete with useful information, and there is not a useless line or word in it.

No matter what your trade or profession may be, you will find it a very valuable book to have around. A meeting of great spiritual interest has been in progress in this city in the Methodist Episcepal church for several weeks past. Although the weather has been at times very unpropitious, yet the audiences have always been good and increasing constantly in numbers and interest. Sunday it is estimated that two hundred and fifty persons were turned from the doors, unable to find room within the church. At nearly all the meetings for three weeks past some have professed conversion.

Over forty persons have united with the church and others will do so. Persons living en miles in the country have attended the meetings frequently and several have been converted. The pastor has been ably assisted by Rev. A. B.

Cluckner, a resident of the city, and by the church membership in general. No time is fixed for the closing of the meetings. We have received a copy of the bill creating the office of county assessor and prescribing his duties, which is now before the legislature. The act provides that, immediately upon its passage, the board of county commissioners shall appoint a county assesser, who shall serve until his successor, to be elected in November 1883, is elected and qualified. The county assessor is sworn to assess all property at its actual cash value and give a bond to do so.

He may appoint deputies, but is ra-sponisble for their work and must pay them himself. All duties now required of township assessors are to devolve upon this county assessor. For his services he is allowed a sum equal to one-fourth of one mill on the first $1,000,000 of all property he assesses after the same has been equalized by the commissioners) and one-fifth of a millon all over $1,000,000. Supposing the actual cash valuable of taxable the property of Sumner county to be $10,000,000, the county assessor would receive $2.50.00 for the first $1,000,000 and $1,800.00 for the rem lining $0,000,000 or a salary of $12,0.50.00. the Clothes a particle.
