PAPER FROM COT, oN-sEED BULLS

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The success of the Pettibone Cataract company at Niagara Falls in making paper from cotton seed hulls means great deal for the south. The experi- ment of this company with hulls produced a soft and tough paper, and the opinion was expressed that a good quality of writ ing paper could be manufactured from the southern product.
 It has always been held that cotton seed hulls were well adapted for the manufac- ture of paper, but as in the case of bagasse, nothing has heretofore been done to put this belief into practical effect. The recent search for paper stock has, as the Times Democrat has shown, brought about thorough examination of all the materials that seem adapted to this industry. Three of these materials produced wholly in the south have spe- cially recommended themselves-bagasse or crushed sugar cane, rice straw and cotton seed hulls
 Two paper mills are already converting bagasse into paper and the industry is in so promising condition that we can foresee the day when all the crushed cane of the sugar district will find its way to the mill. One paper mill for the utilza- tion of rice straw in the manufacture of paper has been provided for. Less progress has been made in utilizing the cotton seed hulls for paper making, but the experi- ments at Niagara hold out great promise for the future If the hulls prove all that is hoped for, it Is, of course, the greatest of all the discoveries in the in- dustry of paper making, as cotton seed hulls are not, like bagasse and rice straw limited to a comparatively small section. but are produced throughout the south. With these three materials for the manu- facture of paper fully utilized, we have every reason to believe that the south will become the center of the American paper industry.

Outlook for the Year.

T believe that prosperity in this dis trict this year will break all previous re- co ds,' said financier yesterday.
 "I am not especially optimistic on gen eral principles. but there are many req sons why business is going to be profit able within the next few months. In the first place the financial conditions of the country are good. Tight money made a furry in Wall street in December, but that was only temporary. The banks are sound and there can be no serious trou- ble. In the next place the general busl- ness of the country is prosperous and 1t will certainly continue to be so until next summer. Bad crops would give trade a set back, but if large crops are made business will boom on for another twelve months.
 Iron is high and the iron market IS firm. The demand will not abate. Every firm. The demand will not soon abate. Everybody who is willing to work has employment at high wages, and the pay rolls here will be larger in the next three months than in any previous three months. These are some of the reasons why I am optimistic on this New Years day."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-01-02

now closed and it would open addi- tional months to other schools, but there is one thing it would not do--it would not build decent schoolhouses. The public school houses of this state are simply disgraceful. with only here and there an exception. Nineteen out of twenty of them are mere shacks or wrecks, and writer recently said that the poorest building In any community in this state Is generally the public school building.
 There is really no radical cure for such situation except unlimited local taxation, such as Louisiana inserted in her new constitution. MT. Bowie's de- sire for tax of a mill by counties is good enough-is, in fact, very de- sirable-but it will never cure the educational ills of this state. What we need is both the one-mill tax, and the right in any community to build at least school house whenever it is minded to do so.
