To Make Paper of Cotton
Seed Hulls.

To an Atlanta man belongs The
distinction Of having discovered q
process by which the common cotton
seed hull can be made into paper at
about one half the cost of the manu.
facture from wood pulp
The inventor is Robert Thomas
formerly superintendent of the Glen
dale paper mills, and Col w A
Hemphill Mr. Thomas is at presen,
a resident of New York city, and has
already interested several we'll known
capitalists in the enterprise with the
result that q $5,0OO.0OO company is
to be organized at Trenton. N J,
for the purpose Of erecting large
plants in various parts of the cotton
belt
1t is expected that Mr. Thomas
discovery will cut the present price
of paper in half According to the
inventor himself this latest consum
nation of the cotton seed hull about
exhausts the use of the cotton plant
Mr. Thomas was for many years in
the paper making business in the
south and few months ago. while
operating a small mill in Florida, he
learned the chemical action which
will reduce the cotton seed hulls to
pulp Realizing at once that fe had
made an important discovery, be dis
posed of his plant aud devoted the
entire proceeds of the sale in pur
chasing machinery with which to
prosecute bic experiments
The cost OF producing the new
pulp will be about one half the cost
of manufacturing the wood pulp Its
tensile strength is said to be very
much greater than wood fibre, which
makes it invaluable for bags and
wrapping paper

General N. B. Forest. CON maudiue the
Confederate cavalry. His name was o
redoubtable one, and few Of bis oppo.
Lo0ts we're aware Of q humorous side
of his disposition familiar to bis friends
For many years the general loved to
tell tho story Of an incident which
occurred near Cowsu's station.
The few troops be had With him were
being hotly pursued by the federals,
and the general was gallopiug along
at top speed. A fiery southern dam Q

FortuDately the generals horse soon

him to share it. Bu. bis surprise grew
to amszemeut when the general turned
to him revereutly and said
"Parson. will you please ask the

The next morning Forest courteous.

This is 90 true that it is interest

some circles-has that trait of his
Ooe deal not long ago he was in
with q couple of friends-men Of
wealth and stsnding Business was

generous division of profits But
the lawyer wasn't satisfied with what
was coming to him, share and share
alike with the others After receiv

was worth that much more to the
deal This was Q new way of look.
ing at the matter, but the bill was
resignedIy allowed by the friends
They were pretty good business
men, understand In q little while
they aaw that the venture wasn't
psnuing out very we'll So the
shrewd men Of affairs quietly unload

partner. Then little later came the
crash

suffered further damage BY the buIgiue

sy of collapse Of the structure under
adverse circumstances, although It is
expected that repairs will make it Ger
vicesble for ell ordinary needs.
