HENDERSON, NC,

In this connection the following
appeal from Mr.. Eller, president OF
the Glenn Democratic Campaign
Club, is appended:
The great Campaigns made by
Vance and Fowle and Simmons and
Aycock are associated with the great
rewards which followed.
If great reward should follow
great party service, who would deny
it to Glenn?
Supreme courage is glorious,
whether exhibited in war or in peace.
A valiant champion of vital princi-
pies endangered by the result of war
takes up the fight where the soldiers
laid it down. Will the brave saw
that he deserves less?
Ii our great triumphs so largely
won by Glenn are to insure peace,
who is more worthy of his country
mems favor? But if another great
is required, if an able ad-
versary must be met, to whom would
the people turn for their champion?
Fellow-Democrats of North Caro-
lima, think upon these things. Your
high sense of simple justice and polit-
ical wisdom is the strength OF our
cause.

What was Found in Cotton Stalks

Flatonia, Texas, Argus.
NJ. W. Marsden, of Philadelphia,
and Joseph Vile, OF Kentucky, who
several months since had a lot of
cotton stalks shipped to Philadel-
phia to have them analyzed, to find
if there was something valuable in
them, returned to Gonzals recently
with samples of what was found in
them, and exhibited same to a meet
ing of citizens. The stalks were
found to contain from 81 to 81
worth of sugar to theton, tomake a
fine sample OF paper superior to wood
pulp, two pieces Of material resem-
bling celluloid, smokeless powder
composition, alcohol and a valuable
fertilizer.
Mr. Marsden thought that an acre
of average stalks would amount to
about three tons, and that in the
South 7O,OOO,O0O tons of stalks
were going to waste that were capa-
BILE of producing that many hundred
million dollars.
These gentlemen show their faith
in their Investigations by Offering to
erect a plant at Gonzals for the con-
version of the stalks into the various
articles shown, at a cost of $75, 900,
with a possible increase to $3.50, 900,
if the. citizens would take $4,000
preferred stock. There is no such
plant or industry yet in operation.
