The Inexhaustible Cotton Plant.

To the Editor Of the GresnviHe Nsws :
King Cotton has been in our Southern
land both a blessing and curse. The
moderated and we'll regulated production
fit has generally led to farm prosperity.
The overproduction-all cotton and no
other farm products or home supplies
ends, and always will end, in poverty and
ruin to the producer of this class. And
yet cotton is King and will ever hold
royal sway while it clothes the countless
millions; aud in this way-cheap, clean
clothing for rich and poor-itis the great
comforter aud civilizer of the human
race.
1t not only clothes but it feeds, and
will feed, millions, and we had as we'll
lay all prejudices aside and use the refn-
ed cotton seed oil in our larders for all
culinary purposes, making bread, broiling
a steak, in cake and on salads, as olive
oil of old. Cotton seed meal, with little
improvement in the process of manufac-
ture, perhaps using process to extract
all of the oil in place of the 66 per cent.
now extracted, must and will cutstrip and
supplant in measure corn meal for
breadstufs, and become one Of the most
common articles from which the staff of
life is made: and it will perhaps outstrip
wheaton flour in the making of the finest
pastry. As food for children it would
supply more bone, muscle and brain
making more food than either corn or
wheat, and even excel oatmeal.
As horse food the meal from the oil
mills may be used mixed with little
corn meal to teach horses to eat it. a
mixture of say 5pounds cotton seed meal.
8 corn meal, and 4 pounds shelled oats
daily would keep work horse in better
trim than 12 pounds corn daily and be
cheaper to the farmer. Such mixture
would be fine for colts and young horses
and mules not fully matured. Such an
experiment has been thoroughly tried in
South Carolina.
"Cotton Seed Meats" new term
applied to the kernels of cotton seed
hulled at various mills in the country,
principally at remote points from which
the surplus seed cannot bear trausporta'
tion to the oil mills, may be used to feed
work horses and mules, mi1ed as in the
formula giveu above. And in this way
the work animal producing 7 or 8 bales
of cotton could draw therefrom his own
food. If intended to feed work animals
the seed would have to be preserved with
care and hulled freshly once or perhaps
twice a month and after hulling kept free
FROM mould.
These hulls contain 2 per cent. of
potash and should be applied to sandy
soil at the rate Of, say, ton per acre for
corn or cotton. Wher farm has no
sandy soil, then on the stiffest clay land it
affords.
The meal and meats are the best of hog
feed-especially for young hogs under six
months of age, at the end of which time
corn meal, more highly nitrogenious
and fat-making food, should be used.
King Cotton clothes, and shall he feed
us and our work animals? Come, broth.
er farmers, we all have yet much to learn
outside of all we are likely to ever learn
from Experimental Stations. Wake up
and experiment a little.

How He Knew.

Here is pretty good story of boy
who made twenty-five. cents by going to
Sunday. school when away from home
It has a moral also, and perhaps a warn
ing, for sunday.school orators:
A gentleman addressing Sunday
school in Newark, described family in
distress, and referred to the disposition 9
little girl made of a half dollar given tc
her. He offered twenty-five cents to any
child who could guess correctly what she
did with the half dollar.
A boy Immediately piped up, "Bough'
o basket with it."
"But how did you happen to guess
that ?"
"Give me my quarter, please sir"
eyes, but first tell me how you coule
have guessed -that?"
"Giye him a quarter if he guessed i
right" said other voices in the rear O
the room.
-"I vas in Jersey City last Sunday, ant
heard you tell the same story" was th'
boys quick reply, on receiving the quar-
fer

aud those who get up corners in the
necessaries of life and get after q good
many more who don't live so far away
Maybe our farmers would take 8 new
start then. But restitution is a rare
thing in this sublunary world. Con.
science money is very much like what a
great lawyer said to his client who had
paid him thousand dollars as a
retainer. The case was settled the same
day without litigation. The lawyer had
done nothing-be had not even opened a
book or begsn the suit-and when his
client suggested that he thought he ought
to refund part of the money, he looked
surprised and said: "My friend, there
are many kinds of funds, but a refund is
utterly unknown to the legal profession" :"
/ My Memphis friend told me about old
John Bass, of Troup county, who was a
good old hardshell Baptist, but in an
evil moment was persuaded to buy a
lottery ticket. Sure enough it drew a
prize of twenty five hundred dollars.
Before he received the money, the
brethren heard of his sin and notified
him to appear and be tried for gambling.
The day he was to be tried he went to
town early to see if the money had come.
It was there and be got it. Never before
had he had as much as fifty dollars at
one time, and 80 he was crazy with
delight. He stuck the roll of bills in his
bosom and took big drink Of whisky
and rode back to the church and up to q
window, and asked what they was all
adding in there. They. told him they
were trying him for bettin agin lottery.
He pulled out the big roll and shook it
at them, and said: Sand won the bet,
too, and I'd druther stay outside with the
money than inside without it." Well,
it ruined him just like it ruins everybody
who gets something for nothing.
The age in which we live is progressive
and aggressive, but it will not produce
such orators and preachers as there were
forty and fifty years ago. It produces
better doctors and teachers and farmers
and merchants and mechanics, but not
such statesmen or pulpit orators. Ken
tucky has no longer Clay and Breckin-
ridge and Marshall. Tennessee has no
Gentry or Maynard or johnson or Has.
kell. Mississippi no Foote or Prentiss.
Alabama no Yancey. Georgia no
Toombs or Hill or Stephens or Johnston
or Cobb. South Carolina no Calhoun or
Cheves or Hayne or Rutledge. North
Carolina no Macon or Magum or
Badger. Virginia no Jefferson or Pat
rick Henry or Madison.
I know that the masses of the people
have advanced, and therefore, there is
not such contrast between therl and
the great men as there used to be, but it
is still certain that the most notable men
of the day will not compare with those l
have mentioned. We have some great
preachers but mono to compare with
Capers, and Styles, and Pearce, and Bas.
comb, and the blind preacher, Waddell,
whom William Writ made famous. This
is a utilitarian age, and everybody is in
a hurry. There was time when men of
brains had leisure, and Solomon says
that in leisure there is wisdom.

1t chills the temper of his BRAIN"

A degraded Veteran of Two Armies.

One of our farmers, and one who thinks
he knows something about horseswap.
ping, boughta horse sometime ago from
a drover at Laurens. who represented the
horse to be about IL years old, and
our friend thought so, too, brought him
home and let one of his friends have him
to work the present year, of course telling
him that he was comparatively young
horse and one that would suit him. AT.
ter keeping the horse for awhile he threw
off his old coat of hair, and then it was
that his real age was made known. 1t
was found that the horse had been in
both the Union and Southern armies, as
the q. S. and G. S. A. brands shone forth
very plainly, and that low estimate OF
his age would give him at least thirty
summers.

Cigarettes Killed Him.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, April 14.-Next
Monday the body of young Josephus D.
Melins will be taken to Utica, N. j., for
burial. Hs died to day from cigarette
smoking. He lives at LA Broad street,
opposite to Chief of Police Marsh.
Chief Marsh had repeatedly talked to the
lad, who was but II years of age, about
the habit he was addicted to, and which
was slowly killing him. Young Melins
seemed bent upon increasing the daily
number of cigarettes until his average
amounted to nearly FIVE packs. He in.
hailed the smoke, diseasing his lungs
At the last he wasted away rapidly.

Stephens challenged him. And there

said there was never before nor since any

melted down and converted and became

loved his money with an idolatrous

of dollars at usurious rate of interest
and had oppressed many an unfortunate
debtor. Carele5sly he dropped in to hear
DR.. Capers preach, and as his sermon
was about covetousness and the inordi-
nate love of money, Martin became
overwhelmed and alarmed-so much 30
that he actually made restitution to every
one who had paid him usury, and it took
several thousand dollars to do it. He
advertised in the newspaper and called
upon them to come forward and get
! money back. I wish that another Capers
