GovAN, May 1S:-We are indeed sorry
to chronicle the death Of Mrs. Lucy, wife
of Mr.. Nick Nimmons. She peacefully
passed away at $40 o'clock Sunday after
noon. She was a consistent member Of
Georges Greek Raptist church for several
years. 1t could be truly said that she
was one of the best women living, and to
know her was to love her. She leaves a
husband and daughter and host of rela-
tiyes and friends to mourn her death
fntermcnt will take place at Georges
Creek this Monday) afternoon at 4
O'Clock. To the bereaved ones we extend
most sincere sympathy:
see your report of the finances of the
Bamberg cotton oil mill is in good shape,
declaring a handsome dividend. Always
feeling an interest in our county and her
people, perhaps it would not be out of
order to make suggestion to the officials
of the mill. Before going further it
would be we'll to see what this oil is used
for. The amount OF cotton seed oil
crushed annually now exceeds 100000
tons, and the production of crude cotton
seed oil amounts to over 40, 900, 900 gallons,
valued at more than $12,OO0,0OO, Of this
production, ABOUT s,0H,eD0 gallons goes
into the manufacture of compound lard,
still larger amount is exported as cotton
seed oil. and the remainder is used in the
admixtpFe with drying oils and for soap
stock. The oil cake is largely exported TO
England where it is used as food for
cattle, and the oil to France, Italy, and
other olive growing countries Of Europe,
whence most of it returns to US mixed
with olive or sweet oil. The expectation
Of cotton seed oil! far 1924 lsoa! amounted to
13,3s4,3e5 gallons valued at $5,291, ,17S:
for 1891 to II ,0O3, 100 gallons, valued at
$3,91l, ,30ll for 1902 to lS,s5a,s1s gallons,
valued at S4,0sa, ,ss5. This oil Is obtained
by expression from the seeds previously
deprived of their shells. In this state
they yield Two gallons of oil TO the bpshel
Now, with small cost the mill officials
could annex and manufacture their own
soap out of this oil, thereby supplying the
home demand for this article, all Of which
eould be run by the same machinery

The pensioners of this county are no
doubt wondering why they have not yet
received their money. The reason is that
the legal status of the appropriation is
not vet settled. There is question as to
whether the appropriation is 100000 or
Sl5O,OO0, and until this is decided the
money will not be paid to those entitled
to receive it.

Big Ben. the largest lion at the zoo,
and the terror of the keepers, recently
took q tiny mouse under his protection.
Both shared the same bed at night. and
during the day the mouse could be seen
frisking freely all about the cage. AT
mealtimes it would disappear, for Big
Ben's air at that time is calculated to
brighten anybody, but invariably it reap
peared after the meal was over.
Visitors would stand by the hour watch
ing the strange companions at play. At
times the mouse would perch on Big
Ben's back and its liveliness made a
striking contrast to Ben's lethargy.
Where the mouse came from the keepers
cannot understand, for these little ro-
dents are scarce at the zoo, the larger an
imals usually killing them on sight. The
keepers gradually came to look for the
little animal and placed tempting articles
Of food in its way.
A few days ago, however. when the
keepers made their usual rounds, the lit
tie fellow was not 10 be seen, and Big
Ben lay in his cage alone. Several small
articles Of food which had been placed in
the cage for the mouse were still there
and no sight Of it could be found. In
the afternoon il had not shown itself
and the news of its disappearance spread
through the ZOO. What had become Of

Nearly every afternoon the kaiser rides
out, usually in uniform, with some Of the
staff officers, galloping down the Linden
and into the Thiergarten, where he often
spends hours in exercise. The kaiser ap-
pears to better advantage on horseback
than when standing, being tall Of body.
He has a great variety Of uniforms, and
one may see him many times and never
see him clothed twice alike. This is one
manifestation Of his well known love Of
display and pageantry. He loves the out
ward garb OF royalty, the symbols Of
power, and he uses them without stint.
Not long ago an American professor at.
tended a reception in the royal palace
given by the kaiser to an association OF
scientists, at which William appeared
in the gorgeous robes of royalty. preced
ed by liveried chamberlains bearing the
crown and insignia. 1t was a most i'm
pressive display, and when the professor
came away he said 20 a friend:
Il am a republican to the backbone
but believe that if monarchs are aeces
sary they should be mOnarchs TO the las
bit of gold lace, just as William is kai
SER"
The next day this friend had an audi
ence with the kaiser and in the course O.
the conversation told him what tn
American professor had said. The kaise
laughed heartily.
''That is exactly what ! believe" b
said "DOm Pedro Of Brazil illustrates
the folly Of trying to be a republican on
