STAINED COTTON,
And How to Whiten It-S0mething Worth
Millions.

Stained and blue cotton costs the
farmers of the South many thousands
of dollars annually. The difference
in the price between the finer grades
and stained cotton is great, although
the staple may be the same.
Heretofore it has seemed an impos-
sibility to get stained cotton white
without injuring it. This problem
has at last been solved by Mr.. j. J..
Williams, a successful farmer who
lives at Ellenton, S. c., says the Au-
gusta correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution.
He takes his seed cotton and packs
it in layers. Over each layer he
sprinkles water with pine top, and
after he has done this he leaves it for
almost three days. The stained and
blue cotton when taken out is clean
and white, with the staple just as good
as ever. The cotton when packed in
the manner above described generates
heat. This heat removes the stains,
and the farmer is saved the difference
in price between the stained and the
white cotton, besides gaining one
pound in eight in ginning. The heat
generated in the packing kills the
germ in the cotton seed, but when the
ginning is done the seeds easily letg
all the cotton. Though the seeds are
dead the oil in them is not injured,
and they are still salable to the oil
mills.
This shows what a wonderful gain
this may be to the Southern farmer.
He gains one pound in eight on his
cotton.
He has no blue and stained cotton
to sell at reduced price. He still
has the seed left in a salable condi-
ton.
Mr. Williams has tried this process
himself and knows its value, and will
be glad to answer any inquiries ad-
dressed to him.
AS the best evidence Of its value it
may be stated that this year he sold
his entire crop as first class cotton

No Charges Against Gov. Richardson

NO CnafSeS Against GGY. Richardson.
The Columbia Record of the 18th
inst stated that:
"Goy. Tillman was to-day heard to
say that it had been found that no
itemized statements of the amounts
expended out of the contingent fund
of the Governors Office were on file,
or even the vouchers for the same.
He said that it would be seen from
the Comptroller Generals report that
the statements were missing, and the
Comptroller General had no right to
pay out the funds without such a
statement. It is thought, however,
that the vouchers and statements may
have been misplaced"
The Columbia correspondent of the
Sunday Necs says:
"Mr. ". E. Gonzales, Ex-Governor
Richardson's private secretary, called
on Governor Tillman this morning
and the Governor stated to him that
ne did not say that the vouchers for
the disbursement of the contingent
fund were not on file in the Govern
or's Office. He merely told the press
representatives that they could see by
a personal examination of the Comp
troller Generals report that the state
ment did not appear there and left

said to the press representatives. To
Mr. Gonzales he said he had no fault
to find in the management of the Of
flee of the retiring Governor. Inas-
much as the Ne,0s and Courier repre-
sentative was the one who sent out
the report, he frankly acknowledges
that he misunderstood Governor Till
mans statement, but must say that
the impression made upon him was as
stated yesterday"
