Now comes the statement that a man down in Georgia has developed a pro cess of its cultivation whereby sugar tan be made from corn stalks six months in the year, as against sngar cane from which sugar can be made only three months in the year. We say great is Indian corn both for its delicious cake and pone and for other things also. Justice Brewer, ot the United States Supreme Court, recently delirered an address at Yale University, in which he made assertions that will strike an; one who is familiar with general court proceedings in this country. He said of juriors in trials that they are treated as if they were "unworthy of confi' dence not being allowed the privilege of seeing their family during the trial oi a case, are constantly guarded by a vig ilant officer and are locked up every uigbt as criminals." Of the treatment of a witness he said that "he is treated like a liar and is browbeaten by oppos ing lawyers." He iurthur said sigui ficantly that "the ability to annoy, terrify and debase a witness in the public view has been the chief basis of many a lawyer's reputation and suc cess. Most people who have had ob servations in court trials will at least take in what Justice Brewer meant. Much has been seen in the papers About hazing at West Point. The re port of the committee ot investigation accompanied a bill before the lower house of congress giving some idea of the cruelties practiced in hazing there. Twenty eight of the varieties of hazing were mentioned by the committee, but the following V ill do as an index, aud will convince any reasonable citizen of the country of the outrageousness of the practice : Bracing. This consists in requiring the fourth-class man to- throw his boulders back until the blades meat, draw his chin in, to a wholly unnatur al degree, draw his abdomen up, and ao walk that his toes touch the ground before his heels. The upper class man required the fourth-class man to bri;ce t all times on the company streets, in camp, and frequently on other occa sions, and this has on more than one occasion resulted in the victim faint ing. Eagling.-This consists in the four ih class man standing on his toes with his arms extended, dropping down to a sitting posture, rising part waj, waving his arms like wings, again depressing his body to a sitting posture, rising in like manner, and continuing this dur ing the period or for the number of times required. A fourth-class man has frequently been required to eagle one hundred and two hundred times, and in some ca?es three to four hun dred times, and In at least one case above six hundred times. Qualifying. This consists in requir ing a fourth-class man to eat, at one sitting, an extraordinary amount of some otherwise unobjectionable article, such as molasses, prunes, peach pie, or cabbage. In qualifying on molasses a cadet must usually eat at one sitting a soup plate full. In qualifying on prunes he has been made to eat as high as 130. A number ot cadets have be come nauseated by this process. Sliding on soaped floor. This is done in the bathroom, and the fourth class man is made, while naked, to !ide over the floor after it has been soaped. Standing on head in bath tub filled with water. In this the fourth-class man is usually required, while stand ing as indicated, to recite something, and, as a result, the water runs into his nose and mouth and strangles him. LA GKIPPE QUICKLY CURED. "In the winter of 1898 and 1399 I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe" says F. L. Hewett, a prominent druggist of Win field, III. "The only medicine I used was two bottles of Chamterlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and I have never since been troubled with Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough Eem endy can always be depended upon to break up a eeyere cold and ward off any threatened attack of pneumonia. It is pleasant to take, too, which makes it most desirable and one of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments. Eor sale by E. T White bead & Co., Druggists. RANSOffSJRIGADE AT PLYMOUTH, 1T0ETH CAEOLI 2TA, By Edwin Q. N. Ho ore, of Co. A C. Regiment. 24th. Atlanta Journal. In the winter of 1861-2, tfce capture of Hatteras, Roanoke Island and New Berne, all the tide water region of North Carolina east ol Wilmington lay at the mercy ot the Union forces. To render these conquests perma nent. and to serve as bases for fujther Inroads into the state, they seized and strongly fortified several strategic points;" among these was Plymouth, situated on the south bank of the Roan oke river, a few miles above the Al bemarle sound. Tha region of country thus brought under subjection included the princi pal waterways of the state, the most valuable fisheries of the south, and many thousand acres of fertile and pro ductive agricultural lands. Indeed, on account of the tail ot Roanoke Island, southeast Virgins, Including Norfolk, Portsmouth and its great navy yard, was abandoned to the enemy. These disasters naturally produced great depression among the people of North Carolina, and in certain quarters discontent and unmeasured criticism ol the Confederate authorities. But there was no wavering in devo tion to the cause ; the state contributed her treasure, almost to the last dollar, and her sons, to the number of 120,000, before the conflict ended. The Confederate government made and ineffectual effort to regain New Berne In the winter of 1862-3, but It was not until April, 1864, that any important success to regain the lost ground was accomplished. This was the recapture of Plymouth by a force under General Robert F. Hoke, consis ting of his own division, composed of North Carolinians, Georgians and Vir- ginans,and the brigade of M. W. Ran som, composed of the 24th, 35th, 49th and 56th North Carolina regiments. The 8th North Carolina regiment was temporarily attached to Ransom's brig ade for this expedition, and it should be1 mentioned that Branch's artillery of Virginia formed a part of the brigade. The first step taken for the capture of Plymouth was the construction of the Albemarle, a small but powerful iron-clad steam ram. This boat bad been commenced the year previous at Hall- fax on the Roanoke, and when com pleted the forces under General Hoke were put in motion and arrived at their destination on the evening of April 17 1864. The town of Plymouth was directly accessible from two directions, the west and south. By a flank movement it could be approached from the east, but on the north was the river, held by a fleet of gunboats, and beyond was an impassible swamp. The object ot the preliminary opera tions was to enable the Albemarle to pass the river batteries on the western side. The disposition of the forces for this purpose was as follows: General Hoke's brigade approached the western side of the town and General Ransom's the southern. In the absence ot the official reports of this battle the details of the narrative which follows must be confined mainly to the operations of of Ransom's brigade and even these to i mi ted view ot the writer's observation and experience. So, on the evening of the 17th of April while Ransom's brig ade was resting about a mile distant from the southern fortifications Col onel William J. Clarke, of the 24th North Carolina regiment, called aside the officers of Company A. of which the writer was a member, and instructed them that he wished the company to deploy as skirmishers, and develop what force held a certain point which he indicated, and drive them if possi ble. The order was immediately obey ed, and the company encountered a spirited resistance in a tew moments. The object for which Company A had been sent out had scarcely been accom plished before the entire brigade ad vanced in fine array, firing as they moved. This demonstration drew forth the concentrated fire of all the enemy's batteries on the south side, In cluding the heavy guns on board their fleet. General Hoke was making a similar show of attack on the western side, and the two demonstrations so engaged the attention of the enemy that the Albe marle, commanded by Captain J. W. OLD SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE. M. M. Austin, a civil war veteran, of Winchester, Ind., writes: "My wife was sick a long time in spite of good doctor's treatment, but was wholly cured by Dr. King's New Life Pills, which worked wonders for her health." They always do. Try them. - Only 25c at Whitehead & Co'a drag store. Cook, succeeded in passing the batteries which guarded the river approach and assailed the fleet in front of the town. Swift and thorough was the work of our little boat. In a short time the entire fleet of the enemy were either sent to the bottom or driven out of the harbor. The Albemarle succeeded in-withdrawing to a place of safety, and the remaining forces withdrew for the evening. -f But the work of capturing Plymouth was -by no means accomplished. All of its lines of defense were still intact Fort Williams, a powerful earthwork, thrown up to a considerable height commanded the field directly south and enfiladed the approaches, both east and west. Extending from this fort to the river, and enclosing the town, were lines of breastworks. The roads lead ing into the enclosure were protected by stockades, or umbers nrmly set in the ground. The day time of April Is and 19 was occupied in resting by a portion ot our forces, and in reconnoit- ering by others. General Hoke select ed the eastern front as the most feasi ble point ot assault along the river side since the fleet was not there to inter fere. To this work Rrnsom's brigade was assigned. Late in the evening of the 19th. Ransom approached a creek of some depth but little width, which was stoutly defended by an outpost of the enemy. By the aid of Branch's bat tery these were forced to move back quickly a pontoon having been laid line of skirmishers passed over and took position at the crest of a gentle rise from the creek. As soon as possi ble the brigade passed oyer and took position. A detachment of one com pany from each regiment had been made, Company A of the 14th being of the number. These were deployed as skirmishers and advanced some dis tance in front of the principal line, We interred from these arrangements that an assault upon the enemy's works was contemplated and that we of the skirmish line were expected to lead. Soon word came along the line of skir mishers that Captain Durham, of the 49th, would command us. From this we knew that seiious work was ahead. I must pause here and pay a passing tribute to the memory of this officer, He had already distinguished himself for skill and courage in the service. However on aceount of his superior business qualities he was offered the post of quarter-master tor his regiment. This he would accept only on condi tion that he should be permitted to participate in all the dangers to which his command might be exposed. Thus li came about that the quartermaster of the 40th regiment was frequently placed in command of detachments both of infantry and cavalry, which re quired cool courage and skillful leader ship. Young, handsome and lovable, he was popular with the men.' A few weeks later he gave his life to the cause near Drewry's Buff, and rare ly has a bravar spirit ascended from a battlefield than was that of Captain Durham, of the 49th. The information that Captain Dur ham would command inspired us with the faith that we would be well led. But there were long hours ot waiting. The disposition of the forces was com pleted by 9 o'clock. The moon was at her full and not a cloud obscured her light. We had not more than fairly taken position before the enemy turn ed its batteries upon us. All night long its shells hurled above and around us, and sometimes exploded in our very midst. But no response did we make ; dead silence reigned throughout onr lines. Action a nder such circum stances enhances the courage of men ; inaction weakens it. Then it is that thoughtful men engage in introspec tion and sit in judgment upon their past lives. They realize fully the force of Ham let's conclusion that "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicKlled o'er with the pale cast of thought; Aud enterprises of great pttb and mo ment, " With this regard, their currents torn away And lose the name of action." But the longest night, no matter what its horrors, must have an er.d. At the first appearance of light m the east the quiet but firm command ol Durham, "Forward, men I" was given. Instantly every man of the skirmishers was upon his feet and began to press forward. The ground over which we were to move was a level plane several hun dred yards in extent. All obstructions bad been removed, and it bad been used by the enemy as a parade ground and a place for target practice. The pickets gave us a parting shot The merited reputation for curing piles, sores and skin diseases acquired by DeWitt's Wltcn Hazel Salve, has led to the making worthless counter feits. Be sure to get only DeWitt's Salve. E. T. Whitehead it Co. and retired. We returned the compli ment and pushed forward. When within fifty yards of the enemy's works of defense the writer was brought to the ground by an enfilading shot from the left from Fort Williams, which was pouring down a leaden hail upon our advance. But Ransom's mam line was up, silent, grim, unbroken, irresis tible, firing not a shot. It swept on and over the enemy's works and then, as if every energy had been pent up tor that suprenre moment, the me n gave forth such a yell as only Confede rate victors could give. But the voices of five hundred comrades, equally brave, who had started oa that perilous march, were not heard in that exultant shout. They lay dead or wounded on the plane. General Hoke had well held the enemy to its defenses on the western side, but by the success of Ransom, its lines were untenable, and all of the enemy who had not been captured re tired to Fort Williams. This strong hold continued the struggle a few hours longer, and then surrendered, making the Confederate victory complete. It was the fortune of the writer to occupy a place in the line which de fended Mary's Hill at Fredericksburg, and to witness the repeated onsets of Burn8ide's thousands against that strong position. Well does be remem ber how Meigher's celebrated brigade from New York, selecting a somewhat different poin of attack, and advancing in column under cover of some build ings, sought by a rush to penetrate our lines only to recoil weil-nigh destroyed by the blow which it received. But not upon the famous field ot Freder icksburg did he see anything which surpassed the conduct, of Ransom's brigade at Plymouth. Indeed the late Colonel Duncan K. McRae, of North Carolina, declared that It was very similar in many respects and compared favorably in all respects to the storm ing of the Malakoff in the Crimean war.

Philadelphia Record. In ex-Mayor Abram 8. Hewitt the rich people of New York have an ad viser who has made a serious study ot the duties and responsibilities of men oi weaun, ana aiso oi tneir on- port unities for doing good. He has made himself familiar with the over crowded streets and tenements of the East Side, his discoveries have been such as to make him fear for the future of the community if benevolent and patriotic citizens of means shall fail to unite in an effort to secure an improve ment in the conditions of tenement house life. Mr. Hewitt maintains that not only self-interest but also a sense of responsibility for the welfare of the poor should induce the rich men of New York city to devote a share of their money to the abolition of the per nicious circumstances of life in the Eat Side circumstances in which he re gards it as impossible for children to deyelop a moral sense or acquire habits of yirtue. "It is to the shame of New York." said Mr. Hewitt in an address to a children's work society, "that there should be such conditions on the East Side that it Is almost impossible to lead a decent and respectable life there ; that, although the wealth of the world has grown a hundredfold within a cen tury the working people of the city should have to live under intoleiablo conditions." He declared that unless the poorer people shall share in and profit directly by this great accumula- 1 lion ot wealth in improved conditions ! of life and home this boasted great progress will become a subject for re gret rather than for congratulation. "This progress of weath has to a great extent produced these ill conditions of which we complain," be said. "Ills not to be defended that the production of wealth shall go on at expense ot humanity, and it is not to be tolerated that one group shall grow richer aud f another more' 'Wretched. Unless the means which the rich men have ac quired shall be used for the general good of society, as a trust fund which they have merely the right to adminis ter, the lives of the rich will prove a failure and our progress a failure." This view is not peculiar to Mr. He witt or to those who happen to be poor, but is shared by an increasing number of rich men. There is no reason to be lieve that in time the responsibility of men of money for the improvement of the the material aspects ot life among the poor will be universally rec ognized. Many rich men in every large community are known to be en gaged in devising means for the best use of their fortunes for the public benefit. The most pressing problem which con fronts such men in New York and in other large cities is that of the over crowded, unsanitary and vice-breeding tenement house. Mr. Hewitt declared that until every child in New Yurk shall have been surrounded with whole some material and moral -conditions, and until every child shall have a fair chance in life, New York will have cause to be ashamed. He has found encouragement in the announcement that last year sixty million dollars was given for educational edowment. HOW TO CURE THE GRIP. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di rected and a quick recovery is sure to follow. That remedy counteracts any tendency of the grip to result in pneu monia, which is really the only serious danger.
