At first General Meigs opposed it, but

"You've named the one man to
whom go for counsel. Iron sharpen

him in many ways. He knows how
to shoe horse and he is competent
to write about the horse"
"Apropos of Sunol, I've a theory
that California will produce better
horses than any other part of this
country, because they can be trained
all the year round"
1T is more than probable. l know
that a horse that quits here the latter
part of a mile will go to California
and endure to the end. Speed is de-
veloped earlier there
"Will this shorten the active life of
horse?''
"Ive given no thought to that
query"
"What you have thought about, l
suppose, is the similarity in man and
beast of the consequences of wearing
high -heeled Shoes
"That reminds me of Henry Ward
Beecher, who came into my office
when my young daughter was in there,
the latter wearing high heels. Beecher
turned to me, saying, 'Robert Bon
ner, l thought you had more sense
than to let your daughter wear high
heels!' 1t was a just reproof."
"The evils to women resulting from
walking and standing in French heels
are incalculable
"Of course they are. | remember
that Mr.. Low, of Low, Hartman &
Co., was troubled with lameness until
my veterinary surgeon told him to
chop down his heels, which were high.
Taking the advice, Mr.. Low walked
as we'll as anybody. On another oc-
casion Mr.. Dick, of Dick & Fitzgerald,
told me how lame his partner was.
He can't walk until he takes off his
shoes and puts on slippers,' said Dick.
{ Are his heels high?' Yes Tell
him to chop them down and let me

met Dick he exclaimed, marvellous
change! Larry's as we'll as ever. |

The first action necessary for the
construction Of a mill on the above
plan is to get the stock subscribed and
then employ an engineer to make plans
and specifications of buildings and ma
chinery in such detail as that the
officers Of the company may complete
the mill by following the plans and
specifications.
These two things being done the
balance is plain sailing.

The BLADE, paper published at
Maxton, n. c., by a colored man,
speaking ofthe aid rendered the colored
people during the late severe weather,
has this to say: This act on the
part of the white people was truly
magnanimous when we come to think
that we had just passed through a
heated political campaign in which
race was arrayed against race. Re-
venge is sweet, and when the cold
weather set in there was the oppor-
tunity for the white mans revenge.
But he nobly and grandly held aloft
from it, and forgetting the past, he
proceeded to relieve the wants of his
colored brother. If he had wanted
revenge here was his chance. He
needed no shot gun or Winchester"

MIR. G.. w. Westbrook, who repre-
sented New Hanover county in the
Legislature, spoke as follows to a party
of friends before leaving the Capital :
"My friends, we met here as
strangers. We part as brothers. Diff
ferences have occurred, as they will in
all Legislative bodies. We cannot all
think alike, but it must be remember
ed at all times that we are all North
Carolinians-each and every one hav-
ing at heart the same thing-viz: the
best interest of the good old State.
We part. Let each and every one
of us return to our trades, professions
and avocations; and let us for the
next two years leave off politics and
think of work; and let us advise our
friends and neighbors to do the same.
We have sent wise men as our repre-
sentatives to Washington. Now let us
put our trust in them, knowing that
they, like ourselves, are true North
Carolinians, and will leave nothing
undone in promoting her interest.
Let US resolve to sell more and buy
less. Let US do our duty at home ;
not forget to provide the old hog and
hominy, home made. Let us try and
make home happy and content our
selves with our lot, and trust to the
Almighty Ruler to see us righted and
protected in this world of troubles,
and at last take us into His care,
where trouble ceases and pleasure
never dies" Mr.. Westbrooks is far
mer, and it is 10 be hoped that what
he SO well says will be needed by the
farmers of the State generally.

The Savannah News says: 1t is
pretty safe TO say that many of the
fellows who opposed the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland until it became clear
tha. he would he nominated are among
the most noisy and persistent appli-

strange if the least mertorious and

should be the most successful in get

These figures show decrease of only
1926 gallons, which is rather remark
able under the circumstances. The high
price that is paid for cotton seed may
result in preventing the great increase in
cotton acreage for next season, which
has been feared as the result of the high
price that cotton is now bringing. SO
great is the temptation to sell seed that
planters are likely to dispose of seed
needed to plant next crop. Under exist
ing conditions mills are not disposed to
barrow seed, but they are paying cash
for what they buy, and will expect cash
when planters want seed with which to
put in their next crop.

party pledged to reform the bad
politics and administrative abuses
introduced in that long period. it is
incumbent upon the party in control
to consider its new position and the
responsibilities it entails. Promises
are to be kept. The pledges of the
National Democratic platform are to
be studied at the Capitol and White
House and faithfully observed. 1t is
immaterial that individuals may not
like every article of the party pro-
gramme. Absolute agreement is not
to be expected. What is essential is
that the matters agreed upon at
Chicago shall be agreed upon at
Washington when the time for action
shall have arrived. Individual opin-

unruly mob, hungry for offices and
incapable of appreciating its national
duties, or will it show itself to be able
to frame wise policies and to pursue
them with selt-control, vigor and

attained? The answer will be found
in the capacity it shows for instilling

petuation of abuses will, of course,

COTTON SEED OIL,
Baltimore Manufacturers Record

Baltimore Manufacturers Record
The present position Of cotton seed
oil is no less interesting than the phe-
nominally short cotton crop. The
small yield of cotton and the unusual
demand for oil to supplement the
scanty supply. OF lard, have given to
cotton seed products an importance
never before reached. Last summer
cotton seed sold at 81 per ton and less
in some localitie', but now the mills
are buying all they can get at upwards
of $40 per ton, s22 being about the
ruling figure. Refined oil is now sell
ing at 60 cents and upwards per gallon,
as compared with twenty cents year
or two ago.
The advance in seed has been a
great boon for the planter, and when
added to the higher price realized tor
their cotton this season, it gives them
a good profit on their crops. Ofcourse
a large amount of seed was sold at the
lower figures ruling at the beginning
of the season, but enough has been
sold to enable the planters to benefit
largely by the present high prices.
The importance of the cotton seed
products is shown in striking manner
by the Charlotte, N. c., Observer in a
brief article which appeared few days
ago and which we quote in full as
follows:
"The oil companies are now paying
from $4,000 to $21 Oper ton for cotton
seed. The prices of the product stand
about as follows: Cotton seed hulls for
cattle and sheep feed, 81 80 to $500 per
ton in different parts of the South; cot
ton seed oil, sixty cents per gallon; cot |
ton seed meal, 800 per ton. At present
market prices the 4, 100000 tons of seed |
that would come from an 8 200, ,OOO-bale |
crop of cotton would be worth to the
South 100000, 900. Deducting ,OO0,-
600 tons of seed for planting, there
would be 100000 tons left, about
l 900, 900 tons of which the existing |
mills work.
If the whole 100000 tons could be
worked the following products would be

reach the enormous sum of 1922 ,O0O, 900.
AS matter of fact, about half the spare
seed are worked in the mills, and the
South is getting the money for the pro-
duets at the rate of about $50, 900, 900
for the entire seasons work. This leaves
out of consideration the cattle feeding
business that has been developed at and
near the mills by the use of huIls and
meal as feed stuff
This seasons run will pan out very
prOfitably for those mills not tied up by
old contracts. Unfortunately, however,
quite number of the mills sold their
product ahead at old prices, which under
present conditions will not net them the
cost. We understand that the American
Cotton Oil Company, in it's efforts to
handle the entire output, has lost heavily
by selling short of the market, and in
several instances has purchased a release
from unfavOrable contracts at large fig
ures. On the whole, however, the condi-
tions surrounding the Industry. were
never so favorable as at the present
time. With a smaller supply there is an
exceptionally large demand for oil. There
is better demand for neal for rfertilizing
purposes, and the use of hulls for cattle
feed is growing to such an extent that
the millers can sell them to better advan-
tage than they can use them for fuel.
Notwithstanding the increased demand
for oil from the lard packers, the export
trade holds up well, the shipments for
the season thus far being but little be-
low the figures for last season.
The exports from principal ports for
the two seasons have been as follows to
