factory near Savannah. A site OF five
acres was purchased f.tr miles from the
city; high board fence was erected
around the property, and the factory was
built in the enclosure and has been run
ming for months. Nobody knows what
is going on inside the factory except few
ignorant negroes and nobody is admitted
within its doors.
The bale facts alone are known that
crude cotton seed oil, costing about so
cents gallon, or about Sl35 a ton, is
carted in, in five ton lots, and that tons
of rubber, worth about $1,000 a ton, are
carted out and shipped to a very promi-
nent rubber dealer and manufacturer in
Boston.
The value of the new industry to its
discoverer and his associates is indicated
by the figures we have just given. 1t is
not easy to over estimate its value to the
South and to the world. The uses of rub
ber are increasing every year, and the
demand for the article is taxing the natu-
raj supply already. If the artificial pro-
duct can be besuccessfully employed for all
or most of the purposes to which the natu-
raj product is applied, or would be ap-
piled Its cost were cheapened, there
will soon be market for all oft that can
be made in the South, and the cotton
farmers will be directly and greatly ben
Gifted by the increased value of the raw
material, cotton seed oil, which they must
supply.
It has been predicted that the seed Of
the cotton plant will some day represent
a larger value than the lint, and that it
may yet come to pass that the crop will be
planted mainly for the profit in tho seed.
1t really begins to appear as if the predic-
ton, wild as it seemed at first, will yet be
verified. A berry or nut-or whatever it
is-that furnishes at once wholesome
table and cooking oil, the. best kind of
food for all cattle, a sugar fifteen times
sweeter than cane sugar, rich fertilizing
agent, and material for the making Of
such varied articles of usefulness as Ala
bama strings, erasers, galoshes, gum
boots, bicycle and buggy tires, hospital
beds, soldiers overcoats, ladies' wraps
and Car buffers and springs, has future
before it that it would be vain to attempt
to outline or to limit.

Just the Poor Mans Luck.

"rhere are perhaps 10000 men in this
country who need artificial legs and arms
and not moro than 100000 Of these are
supplied" 1t was well-known maker
of wooden legs who said this to New
York Sun man. He was warding of an
appeal to his charity in behalf of loco
motive fireman who had slipped under
his engine and had been badly crippled.
"The fact is" he continued, lit is always
the poor man who loses leg or an arm,
now that the war is over. Excepting the
crippled veterans who are supplied with
legs ~ the Government, nearly every
man who loses limb has to have help to
get q new one."
But while the number of pensioners on
account OF the war continues to increase
with each increase In years since that
time of carnage, there is little likelihood
that the number Of makers Of artificial
legs vii. fall off much in number. There
are nearly 200 Of them now, large and
small, many of whom, having worked iu
one of the larger factories, set up for
themselves and whittle out climber
toes" for unfortunates who cam
not afford to buy one of the improved
legs.
The science of making wooden legs and
arms has in recent years almost supplied
the place of the natural mem bers that
have been lost. There is almost no occu-
patton now that is closed to man on ac-
count OF his crippled condition, and by
the use of a rubber heel and toe it is made
possible for man to walk almost With
out perceptible lmpediment or limp i'll bis
gait. In fact man with both legs gone
can now preserve his equilibrium and
walk about almost as we'll as any other
man.
The wood mployed-wood being light
er and stronger Ior this purpose than any
other material discovered-is willow or
bass wood, and after it has been season.
ed and carved into the proper form it is
covered with rawhide and enamel to
strengthen and finish it.
With artificial arms and hands man
may hold fork, drive a horse, extend
the arm at will, and even write fair
hand. There is case OF man who lost
both hands and one foot who now walks
perfectly we'll and is able with his artiii-
cial hands to grasp light articles, open
doors, and feed himself
A man with two artificial legs rides
horseback and can mount and dismount
readily, and another man has even walk
ed q mile in 16 minutes 80 seconds to
beat the wooden-leg record. Skating
and bicycle riding are other accomplish
ments and enjoynents from which some
of the men with artificial legs are not de-
barred. It is curious to note that, accord
ing to the tables of percentages, farmers
are the greatest sufferers, II per cent. of
of the cases of leg amputations being
found in their number, while workers at
the bench number l3 per cent labor
ers 81 per cent. and railroad men but 7
per cent

Spoiled Children.

MEssRs EDITORS: Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to insert a
few words that hope will sink deep
into the minds of every one that chances
to see them.
It is subject that is worthy Of every
parents deepest attention. In many
homes there are children who are con tin
ually bringing some kind of unnecessary
trouble upon the family, either by omis-
sion or mmsision of some ofthe parental
laws. A child may indulge in disobedi-
ence without the disapproval Of its pa
rents until it will become what we term q
spoiled child, which is very undesirable.
Yes. one of the most detested nuisances
Of. human nature is spoiled child.
Some may ask why that child is spoiled
so badly? That has become very plain to
me of late and will just give short ex-
pIanation right here.
In the first place, the parents Of the
child have been too slack with thoir faml-
ly discipline.
They cannot bear to reprove their little
darling of anything it may do contrary to
discipline, thereby leaving an opening
wherein the child will be pleased to do
the very same act of disobedience without
even thinking it unlawful. BY and by it
: will become the doer Of some other great
wrong, which, it not checked, in due time
will lead to an awful end.
After indulging in disobedience for a
time the child will form an idea in its
little head that whatever it pleases to do
the parents will approve of, and by the
time it reaches the age of "sweet sixteen"
it will consider itself ''first boss of the
house," Nothing is better at this period
than a genuine solid "hickory coating"
of one color. It may go against the
sgrain," but it certainly is the best way
in which to reform it. "Spare the rod
and spoil the child" was an utterance of
the wisest man that ever lived.
In a great many instances the older
children are more or loss responsible for
the actions of the younger ones, but the
real headuuarter of this defect may be
traced back to the loose laws of the pa
rents. In many instances the child that is
allowed its own way without any molos-
tation will shorten the days Of both the
parents and itself.
Such a child is hurrying on to the
penitentiarv or perhaps the ga,iows. If
It succeeds in eluding both Of these there
is q place it will not escape, made tor the
purpose Of tormenting disobedient ones.
A parent that really desires a happy
home can certainly have one If he will
never go back on his word. Be firm in
everything and your children will make
you happy.
Then let us love one another,
And obey when we arc told;
Oh! how happy we'll be together
In one unbroken fold.

Wonderful Tribute TO Wade Hamp,
ton.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 7.-Gen.
Wade Hampton has had, perhaps, the
highest compliment paid him by the
members Of the senate that could have
been paid, and he will, without doubt,
remain in Washington four years as rail
road com nmissioncr I have the informa-
ton directly from one of the leading
members of the senate, who has signed
the paper. General Hampton, as he has
said all along, would not seek an office,
aud until to- day knew nothing of it. The
leading senators got up request in the
senate chamber to President Cleveland +,
asking him to appoint General Hampton
rail road com missioner. 1t has been
signed, so the senator tells me, by every
senator in the body. with the exception
Of, perhaps, Irby. 1t has been placed in
Mr.. Cleveland's S hands by the senators.
My informant adds: president Cleve-
land has said that he will give General
Hampton anything that he wants. Since
he would not make known preference
his friends did it for him, and the ap-
pointment will soon be announced"
General Hampton is still here and will
remain perhaps for a week.

murder OF Jones' father. Two shots in

months ago, calling him to his door and
shooting him dead. The Winters were
being tried to-day and, being despera-

A quarrel was forced on young Jones by
the Winters, who tried to bluff him from

A MAGIC SEED.

The latest number of the Baltimore
Manuf occurring Record contains letter
from Mr.. G. B. Warrand, OF Savannah,
Ga, in which the very interesting infor-
nation is stated that there is in opera
ton in th.t city truly unique manu-
featuring establishment, it being the only
one of its kind in the world, "whose cot
ton seed oil is manufactured by secret
process into rubber, not substitute for
rubber, but bona fide rubber; such at
least some Of the best experts having
pronounced the product to be-"
The Charleston NeauS and Courier says
it is not hoax. The lst of April is more
than fortnight off, as yet. This story is
told in good faith, and with full particu-
lars by Mr.. Warrand, who is, we believe,
a chemist and citizen of Savannah, and
is we'll known writer on industrial top
les. The discovery of the artificial rubber,
he says, was made by an artist of some
prominence who was experimenting with
cotton seed oil to produce q varnish for
art paintings, and who, as has so often
happened in such cases, stumbled on
product entirely foreign to his expecta-
tions. The discoverer states that his pro-
cess is so simple tt 1T it is not patentable,
hence his only safeguard is in keeping it
a secret. The only information be gives
Is that he uses Is per cent. of genuine
rubber to produce an article which can
not in any way be distinguished from
crude India rubber.
AS soon as his discovery was made he
went at once to Boston, where number
ofexperts pronounced the product genu-
inc rubber, and ,uld not believe that
such an article could be produced Dy ar
tificial means. A prominent rubber
manufacturer recognized at once the val
ue of the discovery, purchased an inter-
est in the process, and placed $4,000 in
