The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1879-11-08

Mr.. Il. q. White, OF Jasper, Texas,
sent to Mr.. G. A. Mills, Secretary Gal
weston Cotton Exchange, two samples
Of worm-proof lint cotton to be sub
mitted to the classification and qualif~
cation committee for their views, etc,
the samples being numbered one and
two. Mr.. Mills has kindly sent MS
samples Of the same, which we have
received to-day, and which any one is
at liberty to examine. We take from
the Galveston News Of August I'd the
following statement, giving the result
Of the examination By the classifcal
ton committee, and some interesting
facts with regard to this cotton:
The committee, after careful in
spection of the samples, report both
staples Of fair length, remarkable
strength, and very silky-No. 3 the
best. This cotton has been produced
by Mr.. White after some sixteen or
seventeen years Of labor and study, by
amalgamating ordinary cotton with
weed. The weed and his process are his
secret. He is now in correspondence
with the Agricultural EDepartment at
Washington City, with view to the
Government paying him for his dis
coyery and sthen making known his
process, which he says is 50 simple
that any ten year old child can do it,
that itsssimplicity locks ridiculous to
him now. Mr.. White further states
that the weed with which this cotton
is mixed was never known to be eaten
by worm or insect of any kind,
The writer examined the cotton
growing; the stalks we're large and
healthy, brownish red color, the leaf
resembling ordinary cotton, with
very rank weed odor, the bolls were
larger than ordinary cotton and we'll
filed with lint. In the centre Of each
boil there is small pod containing
evidently, the seed Of the weed. When
the boil is fully opened this pod Of
seed is also opened, and the seed drop
out, leaving the lint cotton in the boil.
The bolls will all mature within few
days of eaeh other. This tho planter
could remedy BY planting at different
times. Mr.. White says the cotton can
be picked within one hundred days
after planting. Mfr, White has taken
stalks Of ordinary cotton with the cot
ton worms at work upon them, placed
them in and along side Of his cotton
SO that the worms could easily get on
his cotton, but in no instance did they
cut any Of the leaves, stalk or boil Of
his cotton. He has gathered the
worms from other cotton stalks and
placed them on his cotton with the
same result, and feels very confident
that worms will never touch it,
Should Mr.. Whites discovery prove
10 be what he claims for it, absolutely
worm-proof-and upon this point he
has no fears--the value and impor-
lance Of the discovery cannot fully be
estimated, especially in the cotton
belt.

NEWS FROM MONTGOMERY.

How the New Orleans Visitors Passed
the Glorious Fourth.
We have received the following dispatch re-
Iating how the New Orleans visitors to Mont
gomery passed the glorious Fourth:
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July A, 1879.
1t was field day with the Montgomery
and Louisiana teams on the glorious Fourth.
ALI the shooters were In good condition and
ready for the fray. The glass ball contest
was won by our Cousin, who was closely fol-
lowed by our Alabama friends.
Then came the bird match between the
Montgomery and New Orleans teams. The
terms were nine men in each team, ten birds
for each man and twenty-five yards. 1t was
considered the event Of the day, and the In
terest with which the contest was watched
manifested the anxiety In and hopes based on
the result.
The Montgomery team was victorious, win
wing by a score Of seventy-two birds to
sixty-eight killed by their opponents. The
teams and other gentlemen OF both clubs, as
well as many of those who had Witnessed the
match, then took part tn a very delightful en-
tertainment, given at that beautiful and
shady spot known as Jackson's Lake. Here
was passed the closing hours OF q day which
will be long remembered as a bright and
happy one by the New Orleans boys, and by
their hosts and friends, the members Of the
Montgomery Gun Club. u. u. H.

butchers Of this city, left town, it is

Samuel Felton," Joseph is a single
man and Peter Durham is married,
having wife and five children. Mr..
Richardson yesterday morning inform
ed his brother Albert that he was going
to try his fortune in the Western
States, and before the "Felton" left the
wharf he bade him farewell. Just as
the boat was abeu. to leave the wharf
Mr.. Durham stepped on board and
remarked to Albert that he intended to
accompanying Joseph. Mr.. Durham
left the city, 1t is said, under
rather suspicious circumstances, with.
out..even bidding his family goodbye. He
sold his stalls to Fred. Kienle from
which he secured some $2s00 and it is
said that he owes nearly that amount
The friends and creditors did not
know of the married man leaving un.
til evening, and those to whom he
owed bills at once proceeded to Phila'
delphia, but were unable to come uE
with him. This morning reporter o.
this paper called on member of Mr.
Durham's family who informed him
that he did not know that his fatheI
was going away until next week; he
further stated that he left the house
without making any preparations for
his family.

that he contemplated visiting Europe,
but it was thought that he would moi
start until next week. The suprositior

Both men have had stalls in Second

appears to be the heaviest loser by
Durhams absence, the ab:ent man

and $40O. Other butchers loaned
him amounts ranging from s. to $40
