recognition for the representatives OF
his race, but had reached the conclu-
sion after consulting the President and

Lead Pencils.

There is no lead pencil, and has been
none for fifty years. In old times a
roll of lead was used TO make marks
ON paper or rougher material.
The name lead pencil came from the
old notion that the products of the
Cumberland mines, England, were
lead, instead of being plumbago or
graphite, carbonate of iron, capable
of leaving lead-colorcd mark. With
the original lead pencil or slip, and
with the earlier styles of the "lead'
pencil made direct from the Cumber-
land mine, the wetting of the pencil
was the preliminary of writing. But
since it has become manufacture, the
lead pencil is adapted by numbers or
letters to each particular design. There
are grades of hardness, from the pencil
that may be sharpened to a needle
point to one that makes broad mark
Between the two extremes there are a
number of gradations that cover oil
the conveniences OF the lead pencil
These gradations are made by taking
the original carbonate and grinding II
and mixing 1t with fine quality Of
clay in different proportions, regard
being had to the use of the pencil
The mixture is thorough, the mass Ii
squeezed through dies to form and size
1t, is driod, and encased In its wood
envelope.
The wood used is red cedar, princi
pally obtained from Florida 1t Il
first thoroughly seasoned, sawed into
strips, dried again, then cut to thu
proper size for pencils. They ar'
grooved by machinery, the leads arr
glued into the grooves, and the othel
half of the wood glued on. 1t is lit
tic odd that, though we call them lea'
pencils, yet there is not a particle o
lead in observation-disclosures.

Trying 10 Eyade Texas Antitrust Law
Tspecial 10 Times Democrat


Austin, Tex, June 80 AS result
of the Antitrust law, ten cotton seed
oil companies have simultaneously
filed amendments here to their char
ters. Each reading: "This corpora
ton shall continue and exist until the
first day of July, 1889, when Its exist
ence shall cease and determine This
comprises all the oil companies Of the
State, so there will be no Cotton Seed
Oil Companies in Texas after next
Monday. The American Cotton Seed
Oil Company, of New Jersey, claim to
have bought the properties of all these
companies and propose to organize
under one general charter, the general
company to succeed to the properties
of the ten other companies, abandon
ing their separate corporate existence
Such general company 1t was thought
could, under the foreign incorporation
act of last session, file its charter and

Mississippi contains 100000 acres
of woodland, consisting mainly Of pine
gum, ,,k and cottonwood. Along the
Gulf c'iast numbering is the most i'm
portant industry, and each of the towns
there is the centre of a considerable
lumber trade. Although this has been
carried on there for more than half
century, only small portion of the
available timber has been cut, and the
millmen are not yet compelled to build
tramways or go far from the banks Of
streams. All ofthese rivers run south
to the Gull, and are valuable aid in
getting the logs to the mills and the
lumber to market. The Yazoo Valley
is Is abundsntly wooded as this coast
region, but in different varieties of tim
ber-gum, oak, cypress and magnolia
prcdominating. Its importance as a
lumber region for the future and its
immense supply of available timber
have only recently been recognized.
AS a result, there have been large pur-
chases by companies and syndicstes Of
these lands, over 100000 acres hav-
ing been purchased, in the last few
years.
The belt of long leaf pine in Missis-
sippi reachers almost TO its northern
border. The central belt of short leaf
pine enters Mississippiin its northeast
ern corner.
The remainder Of the State, outside
of the small areas Of prairies aud the
farm lands, bears a hardwood forest
of white oaks, ashes, sweet and black
gums, hickories, black walnut, poplar,
sassafras, which in variety, quantity
and quality is rarely equaled, but the
products of which, for lack of accessi-
bility or development, do not find as
yet ready market, while large guam
titles of the finest lumber, oak, hickory
and walnut, is deadened to furnish az
ricultural land. In the swamps of the
Yazoo delta and the rich bottom lands
of the Mississippi and Pearl rivers, TIM
growth attains the noblest proportions
and forms prominent and valuable
part of the forest.
The pine timber along the coast ant
the accessible rivers is mostly removed
and is there replaced by the Cuban o
loblollo pine, while the abandoned
fields and clarings farther north arr
occupied mainly by the short-leaf pine
} The turpcntine industry is but littl
developed in this State, which account
for the less widespread devastation
of the pine woods than in othc
Southern States, but the production {

Educated TO Stand In the Front Ranks.

We were forcibly touched by
charge given by Gen. Stephen d. Lee
to the graduating class Of the Missis-
sippl A. 4 NJ. College last week on the
occasion of his delivery Of diplomas.
In substance be stated to the young
men, that they had finished their col
Icgiatc course and were now ready to
step unto the threshold Of lifes stern
realities. They had been faithful stu
dents and had made good records
They had been thoroughly educated,
not only mentally but also physically
mind and hand educated together
and now ready to meet the duties and
responsibilities Of actual life. llewant-
ed these young men to understand
clearly and positively that they are
expected to occupy a front place In
the ranks; that the Mississippi Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College did
not turn out any graduates to be found
occupying subordinate positions but
men of brains and skill and force Of
character, and energy Of mind and
body, who would never be content to be
anywhere except In the front ranks
lie expected to hear from these four
teen young men in a few years from
now and he expected to hear that
every one stood squarely in the front
rank, and had gained by honorable
and laudable competition a favored
place among men Of skill and learning
that would reflect highest credit upon
tho Individual himself and his alni
