A Cotton Seed Oil Mill.

ATLANTA, Ga, March IL, 1882.
W. A. CLINE, ESQ.,, Newberry, S. G
DEAR SIR: Since my arrival here
I have had proposition offering me
aud q friend of mine cotton seed oil
mill outfit, of ten tons Il day capacity,
and I have selected the Helena Car
Shops to locate it, provided We can
secure an active partner there who
can get the seed necessary. The mill
will be worth about ten thousand dol
lars; and we would require an equal
amount, to be expended in starting
and in seed, for half Interest. While
l was there I learned that the R. K.
20. proposed to lease their buildings
for a nominal rent for manufacturing
purposes for a term of years. We
would like to get the advantage Of it.
FROM the information I have, | think
it the best location in the State for a
mill and if you or some other gen.
tler,an there will ID axe little effort
we will have it iu operation BY the
beginning Of the ginning season. We
do not want joint stock company,
but active partners who can control
cotton seed. Please let me hear from
you at your earliest convenience at
this place, With the names of good
parties who you think would like to
take hold Of this enterprise. 1t is
very profitable will clear over 50, 900
profit month while running.
Yours truly,
WIN. LAY.

A Good Housewife.

A good housewife, when she is Civ
ing her house its spring reuoyating
should bear in mind that she dear in
mates of her house are more precious
than many houses, and that their sys-
TEN need cleansing BY purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and
bowels to prevent and cure the diseases
arising from spring malaria and mias
ma, and she must know that there is
nothing that will do it so perfectly
and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest

Members of the Tennessee Bro

Members of the Tennessee Bro
kerage Association and of the Mem
phis Board of Trade were tried last
week for gambling in futures, and
were acquitted. This does not
prove that specializing in cot
ton futures is legal; for in these
cases it could not be proved that
there was no intention Of delivery.
If dealing in futures is gambling ii
is the intention not to deliver the
cotton but to pay the difference in
price that makes it so.

The Washington correspondent
OF the Ne,0s and Courier lays bare
a .villainous plot of Senator Jno.
Sherman to injure Senator Hamp-
ton. About the time Of the last
presidential campaign a scurrilous
letter was published in several Re-
publican papers charging Hampton
with aiding in numbering score of
negroes in Mississippi. Recently
this letter was reproduced in q
newspaper in Charleston Hamp-
tons friends Investigated, and
found that Rollin 81. Kirk, a rene
gade from this State, and at that
time an employe in the Treasury
Department, (of which department
Sherman was then Secretary, was
the author. Kirk is now an en-
ploye in the Secretary of States
Office at Washington. The facts in
the case were laid before Secretary
Folger few days ago. He sent
for Kirk and interrogated him.
Kirk admitted writing the letter,
and begged that he would not be
discharged as he had wife and
six children to support; he further
said the letter was written by the
order of a superior officer, and that
officer was John Sherman. It
seems that Kirk first wrote a letter
to Sherman in which he stated
these charges. Sherman replied.
"In my position I cannot notice
these things, but I wish that you,
or some one else, would make a
formal statement of the kind against
Hampton" Sherman hates Hamp-
ton bitterly since the latter proved
the burning of Columbia on Gen.
Sherman, the Senator's brother.

d1offon Seed Oil Will.

By referring to copy OF a letter.
in this issue, from Mr.. VIM. Lay,
of Atlanta, to Mr.. W. A. Cline, OF
Newberry, it will be seen that it is
proposed to establish cotton seed
oil mill at Helena. The buildings
at Helena can be secured at very
reasonable rent; and all that is
needed now is an active partner in
the business who will get the cotton
seed for the mill. There are several
of these mills in different portions
of the South one at Montgomery,
one at Atlanta, one at Augusta, and
others elsewhere. From the cotton
seed is made fine qRality OF lard
oil that is clear and white, and is
excellent for cooking purposes IN
the place of hog lard there is also
made a good quality Of lubricating
oil. Some of our merchants, Messrs.
J. n. Martin & Co., and Mr.. D. B.
Wheeler, have the lard oil, and it is
as pretty an article as one would
wish to see. From what we can
gather we have no doubt that there
is a good profit in the manufacture,
and that q mill at Helena would
pay. Mr.. Richardson, Of Missis-
sippi, the largest planter in the
world, has an oil mill, which must
certainly be very profitable to him.
He pays SIS per ton for the cotton
seed; o ton makes IS gallons OF
lard oil, worth IS cents per gallon
-S12.25; and he sells the cotton
seed cake, after the oil has been
extracted, at Sc per ton for fuel and
for fertilizer-it makes q good fuel;
and for fertilizing, either the cake
or the ashes of it is as good as the
cotton seed itself.

The New Orleans Picayu1ae gives
an estimate of the number of acres
of sugar and cotton lands inundated
by the recent foods on the Missis'
sippi. This estimate says there are
now under water 595,000 acres oi
land usually devoted to cotton rails.
ing. The consequent decrease in
the cotton crop will be large; but
the waters will subside in time for
a late planting Of the greater por'
ton of the land. The total decrease
will probably not amount to much
ever 100000 bales.

LongfelI0w Dead.

The poet Henry ". Longfellow
died at his home, Cambridge, Mass,
the oath instant, in the seventy
seventh year of his age. His poems
are numerous and have many ad-
mirers. His greatest effort is eli
awatha - it contains many fine
passages, but as q whole is rather
monotonous and tiresome. The
same is true of his ''Courtship OF
Miles Standish." "Evangeline" is
beautiful and touching story. The
gem of his writings, and one of the
prettiest pieces in the English Ian
guage, is 'The Day is Done" He
cannot be compared with Milton'
Byron, and others of
". tue bards sublime
Whose distant footsteps echo
Down the corridors of Time"
he was an
&C. humber poet,
Whose songs gushed from his hesrt
Like rain from the clouds in summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start"
His poems are all Of a pure and
elevating character. He is the
greatest poet that America has ever
produced; and his writings have
secured a high place among the
English classics.

RESPONSIBILITY OF RAILROADS.
Recent Opinion of Massachusetts Judi
ciary in the Matter of Evidence, etc.

BOsToN, Mass, Sept. %
In the suit of the Commonwealth against
the Boston & Maine Railroad, the full court
has sent down a.report declining defendants
exceptions. Acts of 1874 provide if, by
reason of negligence or carelessness of a
corporation operating a railroad, or of the
unfitness or gross negligence of its servants
or agents, the life of a passenger or person,
being in the exercise of due diligence, is
lost, the corporation shall be punished, etc.
The defendant road was indicted, under this
act. for the loss of the life of Sherburn San
born, killed at Wilmington crossing Sept
IS, by an engine. The indictment was in
four counts, and only the fourth count was
held to be good. The jury returned a YER
diet of guilty on the evidence that had been
given. Under all the counts the opinion
finds that the allegations of unfitness or
gross negligence or carelessness OF its ser
wants or agents of the corporation, in an in
dictment, cannot be supported by evidence
of negligence or carelessness of the corpora
ton; that the negligence of corporation or
unfitness. or gross negligence, or careless
ness of its servants or agents, must be dis
tinct and must be proved as alleged.
