Paper Out OF Cotton.

Through the efforts of Representa-
tive Howard, of Georgia, the Agricul-
tural Departm at Washington,
has started an investigation of new
industry which promises not only to
break the paper trust, but also add
great profit to the cotton planting
industry in the South. 1t is the
manufacture of white paper from
cotton stalks, and already successful
experiments have been made in
Atlanta and in Houston. 1t is said
the white paper made from cotton
stalks excels the usual product made
from wood pulp and it is believed
the cost of manufacture is considera-
bly, less. Mr.. Howard has been work
ing for several weeks to interest the
department in the new industry. He
finally got Secretary Wilson and his
assistants to look into the experiment
tai process already established and
the result of that step was the an
nouncement made to- day that the de-
partment would make more complete
investigation as to the cost and
process of converting the stalks into
paper and issue public bulletin con-
tanning all the information obtainable.
Another feature OF. the industry
which is of particular interest to
planters is the fact that the dreaded
boil weevil will find himself unable
TO get a foothold on cotton planta-
tions where the stalks are sold to
paper mills.
The Department of Agriculture
has advised that the best plan for
war on the weevil is to destroy the
stalks, where the weevil moth lives
during the incubation period. This
would involve an expense to the
planter, but if the stalks are cut down
and sold for paper manufacture the
the moths home is destroyed, while
at the same time the planter profits
thereby.
1t is no longer doubted that a
splendid quality of white paper can
be made from cotton stalks, and the
raw material is in such an abundance
that it is impossible for trust to
control it. The only thing to be
done is to bring the industry into
general notice and it will build itself.
Mr.. Howard has been active on the
matter because he realized the advan-
tage it would bring to the cotton
planters of his State and section.

BAKING POWDER
ABSOLUTELY PURE
And Now TownviIIe Wants Trolley Line.

DR.. w. X. Sharp, of Townville,
is agltating a movement for trolley
line from Townville to this city.
He has been discussing the matter
with his neighbors, and with people
in the city, and has met with a great
deal OF encouragement 80 far.
DIR. Sharp says that all the peo-
pie at and around Townville are very
anxious to have the line built, and
that in order to get it they would be
willing to subscribe literally to the
stock.
A number of business men in the
city have said they would subscribe
stock to the enterprise, and DR..
Sharp and others, who have been
considering the matter feel very
much encouraged.
The line would open up one of the
best farming sections in the State,
and would give the people at and
near Townville rail connection with
the outside world and would give to
Anderson a greatly increased terri
tory. 1t is quite likely that an effort
will be made at an early day to get
the enterprise on>a tangible basis.

To Make a Town Grow.

3. a. Fishburn, Secretary of the Com
mercial Club, of Dallas, Texas, has pre-
prepared set of rules for making q
town grow. He guarantees their efficacy.
Here they are:
]. Join no organization looking to the
upoullding OF your town. This will
prove an encouragement to those who
give their time and money to sustain
such organizations.
z. lmpugn the motives of thcsa ,....u
join and charge them with a desire to
advertise themselves. This inspires pa
triot!c men to work all the harder for the
public good.
3. Pour cold water on every new home
enterprise, predict it's early failure. and
contribute to that end by patronizing it's
rivals in other towns. This will encour
age others to put their money in home
enterprises.
d When a committee calls on you for
like sore.headed bear, and yield up
what you do give as begrudgingly as
possible. This lightens the burdens of
the committeeman and sends them on
their way rejoicing in their work of love.
D. When strangers visit your town let
them wander around alone and enlighten
themselves by reading the signs and
VIII carry away delightful remem-
brance of their visit and advertise the
town wherever they 60.
D: "Cuss OUT your public officials Ito
their backs, of course) and accuse them
OF everything from petty larceny to high
treason, no matter whether you can sub
stantiate your charges or not. This will
prove keen incentive to the complete
fulfllment of their official obligations.
Z. whenever your town paper differs
in the slightest with your ideas of public
policy, declare that it has been bought
up and promptly cut off your patronage.
The editor will turn the other cheek and
redonble his efforts in behalf of the town
and its "good people,"
.. oppose any enterprise which is not
IN exact accordance with your own ideas.
This will be conducive to that spirit of
concession and unity which is necessary
to progress.
8. Give sparingly, if at all, to move
ments for the general good of the town,
even If you are the largest PROPERTY
owner in it. This will spur on to greater
exertions the public spirited citizens
your town now has and induce the com
ing of others.
10. Observe these rules CLOSELY and
there can be no doubt about the growth
OF your town. 1t will grow and continue
TO grow:-up in weeds-until it shall ulti-
mately become fit habitation alone for
bats and owls.
We believe that some of our people
already understand and employ the prin-
ciples here formulated, but they are not
enough to make the system completely
effective. A wider employment Of the
rules will accomplish something definite.
Now is the time to organize.

SOFT C()IlE::

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS

blood food. 1t not only feeds
