Chicago Archaeologists to See the
Claiborne County Wall.

Word has been received from Chicago
to the effect that a party of archaeolo-
gists will be sent to Mississi pi within
the next few weeks from the Chicago
University for the purpose of investi.
eating the reported find of an immense
stone wall in Claiborne county, the his.
tory of which is unknown to the people
of that section.
The find was reported to Governor
Longino some time ago by MIR Thomas
c. Watson, Of Hazelhurst, who gave Q
lengthy description Of the wall, His
letter stated thai it is located in the
southeast corner of Claiborne county,
and coyers an area nearly four miles
square, Each stone measures about
six feet in length, three feet in width,
and two feet in thickness, and they are
put together with very excellent but
peculiar sort of cement.
The party Of arehaeologists hope to
find some clue as to the origin of the
wall, and unless the information is dis
covered by other methods, excavations
will probably be made 1t is thought
that the wall was built by some prehis
toric race.

NEW USE OF COTTON.
Cotton Seed Hulls Converted Into a
Superior Grade of Paper.

The invention of a process by which
cotton seed hulls 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
itself,
The inventor, Mr., R. Thomas, now
living in New York, writes letter in
which he recalls himself as a former
Albanian, who is still well remember
ed, says the Atlanta Constitution, He
has passed through the experimental
stages of his process and now, fortified
by ample capital, which he had no diff

This invention surpasses the usual
discovery Of skill, because it enhances
with great value the cotton plant which
already commands so large a share Of
the attention Of the commercial world.
Paper is one of the quickest articles Of
merchandise, being consumed as s1or
as made, and commanding heavy prices
The fact that the cotton seed hull car
be applied to this purpose gives it E
market Of instant purchase.
Mr.. Thomas will rank with whitney
himself in thus adding to the value o
the South's great product. He has
brother who has also made remarkable
inventions connected with the utiliza
ton of the cotton plant.

surd to contend that Denison people
have any contempt for their friends

is equally absurd to give serious atten-

gravely hold a town responsible for the
restlessness of the small boys who sat
on the front row. Again we say that
we have no personal spite to vent upon
the managers of the farmers institute
and that we regret if we wrongfully
attributed the Enterprises first attack
upon Denison to their inspiration. The
management did very we'll for the in.

trouble being that the farmers them

A Word Personal.

For a number of months past the

all kinds it it's columns 1t felt that
the people at large had had enough and
to spare, and it was glad of the oppor.
tunity afforded by the necessity fol
harmony in working for a state normal
to drop all personal quarrels.
One difficulty in the way of keeping
to this resolution is that it we attempt
argument along general lines of ma
tiOnal, state, OF county lines, our demo-
cratic contemporary Immediately re-
sorts to mean, personal attacks and
insinuations.
1t is a great temptation to reply,
most men would do SO, and we clam
to be no better than our fellows. AS
an instance OF this resort to PERSONAL
ties, we would quote the following un.
provoked attack from the Bulletin of
last week:
The Denison REVIEW quotes approx
ingly these words OF Napoleon:
"Then L ought not to have it, as l
never was drunk but once in my life
and that was twenty-four years ago at

gundy, and was completely drunk. O.,
how sick was the next day! l wonder
how man that once gets drunk can
ever think of dong it again. Such
headache, vomiting, and general SICK
ness; | Was nearly dead for two days.

alton has not been superinduced by
any such Sad experience of the normal

is it. Deighb9l? Such sudden changes
are so startling Bulletin.
We believe the democratic members
of the normal school committee,
Messrs. Romans. Bullock and KEN
ming. will unite in saying that any in
situations as to the conduct of any

Moines or elsewhere, are entirely un-
called for. There is no sense or good
purpose in these insinuations, and we
regret that the Bulletin finds itself Oh.
