has mailed to Senator Marion But,

letter demanding q meeting Of the
executive committee on a day not
later than May l, 1897. Mr.. Park
declines to give the letter out for

The letter was written after
careful deliberation on the part Of
the Reform Press leagues, who are
the exponents of the best thoughts
of the party. 1t is respectful in
tone, but positive in statement.
Mr.. Butler cannot fail to compre-
bend its meaning. It's publication,
however, at this time would create
widespread discussion, favorable
and unfayorablo, and possibly cur
tail its intended purpose. If Mr..
Butler does not heed its request
we shall publish it broadcast y

e. Valuable Invention

| OAe OF our best citizens, Mr..
W. P. Hayne Of Canpti, has about
secured 8 patent for and is now hav.
ing manufactured and offering for
sale, a machine that will prove in
valuable to our cotton farmers.
1t is Cotton Seed Huller, which
will cost about the price of an Or
dinary gin stand, and can be at
tached to any country ginnery, and
with the power required to run a
common grist mill can be mado to
hull the cotton seed at q nominal
price.
Every farmer can then keep bis
hulls at home to feed his own stock
and sell the ''meats" to oil mills
for more money than he now gets
for his seed.
The huIls, which are the best
COW feed known to stock men to-
day, vii! enable the small farmer
to fatten his surplus cattle and
sell them at profit, instead of be-
ing forced for want of feed to sell
at a loss, besides feeding his stock
and milk cattlo as we'll.
II the meats were desircd for
fertllizing purposes they would be
better than cotton seed meal, and
infinitely better than the raw seed,
as there is such loss in the latter
from sprouting, and clear loss Of
the hulls.
But if it was desired to sell the
meats, the freight would be only
about 1-half that on the cotton seed
of the same value, while they
would be worth at the mill the same
money as the seed from which they
were taken.
The oil mills. most Of which are
in trust which has reduced the
price of seed from S16 per ton to
Sc and less, will doubtless fight
this invention and refuse TO buy
the meats, but the inventor and
sole owner of the machine is q
practical oil mill man himself, sue
cessfully operating at this time a
mill at Campti, his home, and he
not only proposes to buy all the
meats in his reach at double the
price per ton that cotton seed is
but agrees to establish
an oil mill at any point within easy
reach of which d half dozen Of his
hullers are in use, for about l.
fourth Of tho money required to
build the ordinary oil mill today.
Thus does inventive genius come
to the aid Of the people against
monopoly, and assist lis in turning
An almost worthless product today
into articles of value.
These machines are now on sale
BY the inventor at Campti, La,
,r at this Office, on liberal terms.
Call on us for further particulars.

ed some marks of kindness from one Of

way on his departure:
If at any time you or any Of your

at hotel, but come to US.
"Oh, thank yer replied the Scot la
conically, and away the southron went.

when, TO his surprise, he received one
morning the following note:
MY DEAR FRIEND-As myself, my wife and
four children are coming up TO London for a

Of your kind invitation.
Facing the situation with unquestion-
able courage, the southerner put him
self to unutterable inconvenience TO ac-
commodate his guests. He took them
everywhere, paid for everything, and
at the end of the stipulated time they
announced their departure. The host ac-
companied them 10 the station and in
