LtntIess Cotton Seed.

Manager Cureton, of the Greenville
cotton seed oil mill, is experimenting
with the lintless cotton of 81. T. Fergu-
son, living near Woodruff, in Spartan.
burg County, twenty six miles east of
this city;
The object of Mr.. Cureton's expert
ments is to find what value the seed has
as an oil producer and as fertilizer.
A News reporter yesterday saw several
stalks Of the cotton at the oil mill. they
were not unlike the ordinary stalks in
appearance and no difference can be seen
In the green bolls until they are opened.
Then the observer is astonished. He sees
nothing but q boil ful+ OF green seed such
as he would find on opening pea pod.
The merest trace of lint is found, The
stalks in the possession of MIR. Cureton
contain one or two open bolls, and when
a close inspection is made there is again
surprise. The seeds stick in the bolls
until they are well Dmatured and if not
picked drop out. When ripe they are
intensely black id color and resemble the
seed of the famous Peterkin cotton.
They are larger than the ordinary seed.
Mr.. Cureton has not fully completed
his experiments, but he has made few
simple tests. He says the seed has much
more oil than the ordinary seed and far
more meal. He believes the cotton can
be easily cultivated and will yield from
300 to 400 bushels on the acre. He be-
lieves, from what he nov sees, that there
Is great future for the cotton as an oil
producer and fertilizer maker.
The seed are gathered much like peas
and the cotton Is harvested much like
other cotton. Mr.. Ferguson has an acre
in cultivation this year.
The following are the claims made fol
the cotton in circular sent out by Mr.
Ferguson:
"Ferguson's lintless cotton is the
gfandest discovery of the age. For foul
years 1 have been experimenting with
this cotton seed. 1t comes true to name
every time. 1t is one of the most abund
aut bearers ever seen in cotton and vii
resist drouth ten to fifteen days Longer
than other cotton. Stalks bear from 10(
to 400 bolls packed full of seed, number
ing from twenty to sixty seed in eacf
boil. They contain more oil and more
plant food than other cotton feed ant
will make this season 400 or 500 bushel
Of seed per acre, planted 3x3 feet ane
cultivated as other cotton. Sowed broad
cast as peas for fertilizing purposes up tt
the 10th of June, will shed on the lane
from 100 to 200 bushels of seed withou
any work. The cotton grows tall, put
ting out from six to eight long running
limbs near the bottom of the stalk. They
resemble potato vines. Each of thes'
limbs will mature from eight to twent!
bolls, besides the short limbs and brace
limbs common in other cotton.
"For stock it is superior to all others
Chickens, turkeys and ducks devour th'
seed when in the roasting ear state al
| eargerly as they do corn. Stock of al
kinds eat ."-GreenuiAc Neays.

Miss Mary e. Anderson, one of our
best teachers, has been elected teacher
in the Graded Schools at Spartanbnrg.
This shows that Anderson County has
good teachers, but it shows also that our
own people here are losing some of our
best educators, possibly because we do
not appreciate them as much as other
Counties do We congratulate Miss
Mary and spartanburg, but we regret to
see Anderson lose another of her best
teachers.

We often heat teachers and those who
are not teachers say, 81 want to do good
work. I want to be of as much benefit
to the world as possible, but no opportu-

They may not be grand and great oppor.
tunities, but the opportunity to do good
is ever present. The manner in which
you do your part Of the worlds work,
aud the eernestness and sincerity with
which you embrace and improve the op-

are all that you are held responsible for.

The question when should the public
school term begin will have to be.an-
swered by each Board of Trustees some
time in the near future. Some think the
public schools should open frst of No
vember, others think they should begin
first of December, and others think
tbs first of January should be the
time. This is an important matter
and should be carefully considered. If
possible, all the schools should open at
the same time iu all the Districts, We
write this item so as to bring the matter
to the attention Of the Trustees.

A CORNER ON WHEAT
To be Run by the Farmers Wheat Trust
to Freeze Out the Spectators
and Buyers.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 23.-St. rPaul has
been made headquarters of national
movement by the Alliances of the country
to corner the entire wheat crop of the
United States. At No. 317 Wabash street
Tor several days large force of employees
nave been engaged in sending out circulars,
with a view of having not only the Alliance
men of the United States, but all classes of
farmers, keep back their wheat crop until
the bears have all been killed off and prices
nave been advanced to high point In
other words the Alliance press bureau, the
reform press bureau and the state press bu-
reau are working together, endeavoring to
unite the farmers Of the United States in a
gigantic wheat trust in which the pro-
ducers shall be the stockholders, and by
which the spectators and wheat BUYERS
Will be squeezed to the wall At the head
OF the movement which has its headuuar-
tiers IN st. Paul is George NJ Muller, an
editor OF the state prominent Alliance
man: The circular reciting the benefits OF
combination and urging the formation of a
trust mas been made public. The circular
estimates the wheat crop of 1891 in the
United States at 800, 0O0, 900 bushels. The
promoters OF the farmers wheat trust be-
neve that four-fifth of this wheat can be
held back by the farmers for from four to
eight weeks, by which time it is thought
that prices will have gone forward Lists
bearing the names of the secretaries of
every Alliance in the United States are now
IN the hands OF Mr.. Muller, and circulars
have been sent to the Alliances in the East
ern wheat-growing states, Illinois, Kansas.
Nebraska, Iowa, California, Oregon, and to
part of the remaining wheat-growing
states.

Atwood. Violet & Co. on Cotton.

Special TO the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, July 23.-Atwood,
Violet < Co. say: Futures-Liverpool
made an excellent showing to-day, there
oelng. Il better demand for spots, sales
reaching 10000 bales, while deliveries show
an Improvement of 3 to 4-64 over yesterday.
Such gain there would naturally be eX-
pected to cause i decided advance on this
side, especially as Liverpool had refused TO
Sympathize with our drop of the other day.
Ihls explanation was not, however real
lied, as the Improvement of : points which
look place early IN New York was nearly
all lost.
The closing there being at an improve
ment OF only points over yesterday, while
here prices are actually 3 TO points lower
than last nights closing. The weakness
here may be partially attributed TO the an
uclpated rains, the weather showing signs
OF breaking, but is also no doubt partly
due TO the rumor that Oldham spinners
will hold meeting tomorrow to decide
upon reduction of operatives wages If
they should attempt TO enforce such re-
ductlon general strike may result which
would react diSaStrously upon the price of
new cotton.
As the closing of Liverpool at such an
Improvement over yesterday would indicate
no lear there of such result, it is thought
the expected meeting will not be followed
by any serious consequences.
Another new bale YVES reported to-day.
This time at Galveston, but we are informed
that the farmers of Southern Texas, who
furnish the bulk of the August receipts.
show no disposition to hurry their cotton to
market and it is quite likely the movement
for that month. as well as September will
be considerably below the average OF sew
eral years past.
1t remains TO be seen what effect such a
probable falling of in receipts will have on
the market in general.
