NEW USE FOR COTTON

The invention of process by which
cotton seed bulls may be converted into
superior paper furnishes quick and
prime market for this part of the plant,
equal to that which exists for the lint,
The inventor, Mr.. R. Thomas. now
living in New York, writes letter to
Colonel William A. Hemphill, IN which
he recalls himself as former Albanian,
who is still well remem bered. He has
passed through the experimental stages
of his process, and now, fortified by
ample capital which he.had no difficulty
in securing, he is about to erect mills,
the first one of which he promises to
Atlanta.
This invention surpasses the usual
discovery of skill, because it enhances
with great value the cotton plant, which
already commands so large share of
the commercial world. Paper Is one of
thequiekest articles of merchandise, be-
ing consumed as soon as made, and
commanding heavy prices. The fact
that the cotton seed hull can be applied
to this purpose gives it a market of IN
slant purchase.

LEAVE IT TO TIT FAITHFUL.

Senator "A. o. Bacon, IN a dictated

has this to say in regard to the pro-
posed reorganization of the democratic
party:
81 believe in reorganization when
ever necessary; but 1t should always
originate with the faithful friends of
i the party. Without specifying the
name of any one, don't think that de-
serters from the party should be
quite SO eager to take charge of its af-
fairs when arranging for the conflict
which is SO certainly upon us. We
didn't have the benefit of their assist
ance when we faced the enemy; and
when we arrange our lines for another
battle, while we shall be glad to have
the rank and file back without dis
examination these prominent deserters
wan only be allowed to take very OBJ
scure positions IN the rear ranks"

The drift toward the cites is the pro-
duct IN some degree, at least, of the
old desire to give as little as possible
of hard labor to work of accommodating
q ee99Hpstsncys to approach as near as
may be to the base ideal of living as
near as one can without work. The
real misery and unhappiness attending
daily life-not the imaginary or exag-
gerated forms of discontent-ar found
in the cities. Today, as forever, in
America, as elsewhere, the man is best
and happiest who can make liv-
ing for himself and his family from the

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.

The work of the Cuban constitution
al convention, which met in Havana
Monday, will be followed with much
interest. The majority of the dele
gates favor absolute independence, but
as the work of the convention is subject
to the approval of Congress, and since
CONGRESS, although pledged to give
Cuba independence, is also pledged TO
establish a safe and orderly govern
ment IN Cuba, there is some doubt
whether independence will be insisted
on by the convention at this time
It is thought the convention will be
of long duration, for as one familiar
with Cuban affairs expresses i, 'The
contests over seats by several delega-
tes will not be the easiest problem for
solution. Each delegate must have his
say, you know, and only those acqualnt-
ed with the Southern love for public
defamation can have any conception
of how much time each delegate will
take. Their heads are nearer the sun
than yours of the North -
It is generally believed the manner
of government framed will be pattern
ed after that of the United States, and it
may be the convention will ask the
United States to continue her protect
crate over this island in order to guard
Cuba's foreign relations and preserve
peace IN the interior.
