Facts About Cotton Seed Oil.

For human food, olive and cotton
seed oils are far superior to lard, or
to ANY other animal fat. Olive oil
has held that rank in the estimation
Of scientists and medical men from
the earliest period ofrccorded history.
1t IS only of late years that analyses
by chemists, experiments in diet by
eminent physicians and practical use
by skillful hOusckecpcrs have combin-
cd to demonstrate that in every re
spcct and for all uses the oil Of the
cotton seed is equal to that of the
olive. This fact once established, Il
market will be made for pure cotton
seed oil that will be co-cxtcnsivc with
that now occupied by olive oil. 1t
will, indeed, become its competitor
in all parts of the world. The Man
ufacturcr'S Record of Baltimore. be
licving that the time has come when
the South should make vigorous
move in behalf of cotton seed oil, i'll
stead of simply acting on the dcfcn-
sivc in the repeated assaults made in
Congress on the purity of this oil,
after an elaborate investigation. has
accumulated II mass of information,
and proposes to publish next week
the first of series of articles that
will cover the whole subject. In these
it will be shown beyond controversy
or shadow of doubt that cotton seed
oil is the best salad oil in the world,
and that it should be put upon the
market on it's merits, bearing its own
name, and it's excellence for all Gull
nary purposes be pcrsistcntly set
forth until it receives popular ap
proval and enters into as universal
consumption as butter or lard. These

Ilis own Fnther-A Revolving Crime.
DARLINGTON, S. c., March 2O.-Thc
trial of Joseph w. James, charged
Scott and Robert Arthur to kill his
father, which has occupied the attcn-
ton of the court since Tuesday of
last week, ended with verdict of
guilty.
The prisoners counsel may take
the case to the eSuprcme Court. james
and his accomplicc were convicted
several months ago, but, on appeal to
the Supreme Court, that tribunal
granted them new trial Oh the
ground that the Judge in the lower
court had tranSccndcd his province
by charging on the facts
The correspondent of the Charles
| ton World gives the following history
of the case:
The murder of Joseph James, ST.,
occurred Oh the evening of May g,
1888, ut which time, directly after he
arose from the supper table and was
passing out of the dining room door,
he was fired upon by Il party or par
ties in the yard. About forty slugs
aud buckshot passed through his
side, killing him almost instantly.
Old man james owned considerable
real estate, and the theory of the
prosecution was that Joseph W.
James, Jr., had him murdered in OF
der to come into possession Of his
property. Over $4,000 in cash was
found upon his person when he was
murdered.
Lewis Williams, one of the parties
charged with the crime, was tried
and found guilty. Bob Arthur, an
other party accused of being con-
ncctcd with the conspiracy, has fled
to parts unknown, and has so far
rludcd the vigilance of the officers.
During the trial William Scott, one
OF the defendants, sworc that Joseph
James agreed to pay to himself, Bob
Arthur and Lewis Williams 5000 to
Kill his father, Joseph w. James. ST.,
and that on the strength of that
agreement he loaded his gun, by the
direction ofyomg James, with heavy
charge of slugs and buckshot, and
that on the evening of May s, 1888.
he, together with Bob Arthur and
Lewis Williams. proceeded to the
house Of Mr. Harmon Howell. ut
which house the old man James and
his son boarded, and Lewis Williams
took the gun loaded for the occasion,
and leaned it on the balustcr railing
TO the piazza. and shot oldman James
as he was passing through the dining
room door.

Deathhed Confession of a Murder
OF Iwenty-Four Years Ago.
NoRRIspowN, Pa, March 6.-The
mystery surrounding the killing OF DR..
Joseph Ii. lowering. of Lower Merton,
twenty-four years ago, has been cleared
up by the deathbed confession of John
q. Henderson. Feb. Is, 1866. DR.. Lev
ering was in the act of putting away his
team for the night, and while going out
of the stable the report of gun was
heard from behind a stone wall within
ten feet of the door in which the doctor
stood. The DOCTORS residence was close
to Henderson'S store, between the viii
lagos of RoSemont and Whitehall. The
unusual report of gun within the yard
of the dwelling aroused the family. and
the lfeleSS body was found two minutes
after the shooting. Alarm and excite
ment drew large crowd that evening,
and every householder Joined in sc0ur-
ing the neighborhoOd for the assassin,
Henderson assisting his neighbors. An
inquest was held, but without result.
The excitement OccaSiOned by the shoot
ing was slow TO die out. The leading
citizens of the locality, including Hen
derSOn. issued circulars offering re-
ward of $1,000 for the apprehension of
the murderer. On Tuesday, Henderson
being sick and fearing that he was to
die, called his family to his bedside and,
in the presence of the family physician,
confessed to killing DIR. LeVermg in
cold blood. He described the tragedy
infinitely. Henderson expired a little
before midnight. He gave no reason
for his bloody deed. nd the confession
has caused as much of an excitement as
did the crime itself.

Colombian Natives Apply the

PANAMA, March 6.-The news from
the eXtrt me east of the territory of Casa
mare. received in this city is very alarm
ing. The prosperous plantation of
Santa Elena, situated between the
rivers Meta and Cusiana, has been des-
troyed by fire and has suffered from the
incursi0ns of thousands of savage LII
dianS of various tribes having no fixed
abode within the limits of the above
mentioned rivers. These Indians, in
consequence of an offer made by
the government months ago to
supply them with certain articles,
such as cloth and salt, united to
the number of 5000, and in a
menacing manner requested the colon
lists to procure the articles promised
them, and also some beef to satisfy their
hunger. The SaVageS have set fire to a
number of houses and robbed many per-
sons Of cattle along the CuSiana river.
] he people of Santa Elena have aban-
doned their residences many times IN
consequence of their threats, and have
appealed to the project of CaSanare. 1t
is feared that terrible disaster will
occur if an armed force is not sent to
control these Indians and if steps for
theirrelief are not quickly taken. 1t is
the general opinion that this matter re-
Quires the immediate attention of the
national government. or that the lives
and property of the civilized people liv-
ing in The locality will be sacri-
feed. The press has been urging
the procuring and forwarding of the
necessary food and clothing to the saw
ages who are in immediate need. 1t is
the opinion of various persons of eXpe-
rience that the first and most urgent
matter to be considered by the govern
ment is the dispatching of the necessary
quantity of salt to the Indians, so as to
prevent the repetition of the Outrages
which have been committed. They also
believe it would be we'll to enlist the
services of the Catholic missionaries,
who, with competent authority, can en-
ter the ca mps OF the Indians and intlu-
ence their actions. 1t is believed that
the society for the protection of the all
OrigineS in this capital has under con-
siderati0n proposition bearing upon
the subject OF these Indian troubles.

The Hawkeye senator Outlines
His Position.

WASHINGTON, March s. - Senator
Allison's attitude on two of the principal
tariff issues was outlined to reporter
of the United Press to-day, with some
distinctness, by the senator himself.
When shown publication in New
York paper which stated that the sena-
tor was leaning toward some of tt Z most
important propositions in the Mills bill,
he said: II do not care to discuss the
matter while the house committee is
busy with it. When the schedules come
to US we will be prepared to treat them,
ana you may say that will consider
them as aRepubIican. You may say
that | am in favor Of a deep cut on
sugar. l will not say that favor the
abolition of the duty and the payment
of bounty. AS to tobacco. you may
say that | will vote to abolish the tax on
it very reluctantly. We will have
hard time explaining the duty on great
many necessities if we abolish the duty
on this luxury.
