ANOTHER NEW PLANT
The Standard Turpentine Company,
of BIakely, Ca, Files its Charter
in this County.

The incorporation of The Standard Tur-
pentine Company, of Blakely, Georgia, has
been filed with Clerk of the Superior
Court VIM. Nj. Russ. It's capital stock
is $4,000, and the Standard Turpentne
Company of New York, of which Rev
Thomas Dixon, Jr., is president, has 124
of the shares. The latter company is the
parent company of the companies at Way
cross, Blakely and other places where
plants have been or are being erected in
Georgia and Mississippi.
Mr. John w. Thompson, of this city,
is superintendent of agents all over the
country, and Judge T. B. Womack and
Dr.. n G. Carroll, of Raleigh, are among
the stockholders.
This new process Of making turpentine
is described at some length in the Way
cross (Ga) Journal of recent date, which
says among other things of the plant
just erected there:
With the steam process used in this
plant, the wood is not broken down, the
byproducts are not extracted and the
spirits are steamed from the wood at a
pressure Of about sixty pounds. coming
from the condensers almost as sweet as
perfume and with the least bit Of color
ing, impaired to it by the sediment from
the wood fiber which is crushed into fine
splinters and from the oxidation of ths
iron retorts. This is easily removed by
running through charcoal or by redistill-
ing in a copper boiler The spirits lose
about two per cent in the clarifying pro-
cess, and since the wood has not been
broken down, or disintegratcd, and since
the tar. creosote, oils and rosins are still
left in the wood, there is absolutely no
smell OF cTeosote in the spirits produced
by the steam process and the Standard
Company people are exulting in their sue
cess.
THE wood used in the plant is cut into
fine particles, almost as fine as sawdust,
by a hog. It is claimed that this
makes it easier for the steam to release
the spirits. Several experiments have
been made with different wood. Two re-
torts of half-dried sawmill slabs were
tried Saturday and thirty-fve gallons of
spirits were extracted from two cords 1t
is believed that the green slabs may pro
duce much more. Two cords of moder-
ately rich pine produced forty-eight gal
Ions of spirits. Mr.. Sharpe, local general
manager, says he intends to experiment
with sawdust and other pine wood and
he believes it is possible to get spirits
from any sort of pine wood. OF course
he does not expect to get spirits where
there is none, but he claims that the
steam process will get them if they are
IN the wood.
THE plant cost something over $50 600
but it was built especially to show. and
cost more than was necessary. 1t is
claimed that the ten retorts can produce

the newspapers Of Scranton contained an
article criticising Judge Purne!. The

NOT JONAH MEN
Prophets of Fifteen Cent
Cotton on Top.
With a Steady Tone And Strong
Demand Cotton Sold in Raleigh
Yesterday at Fifteen Cents
Per Pound.
Fifteen cent cotton!

Fifteen cent cotton!
1t is a high figure, but is it going
higher?
That's a question many folks would like
to be able to answer, but the prophets
who told of fifteen cent cotton before

The outlook for an advance is promis-

cotton goods made from 15-cent cotton are
selling at profit. Not the fancy profit

and as the cotton mills of the South are

cotton needed.
There were sold here yesterday twenty

NO FAIRY TALE.
But a True Coffee Story.

A coffee tale well told by lady of
East st. Louis;
During the first five years of my
married life my husband was constantly
taking medicine for severe headaches
every day ana he was always constipated.
His back ached and liver and kidneys
seemed terribly out of order One doctor
said the trouble lay in his kidneys, there
were traces of too much albumen, but
after taking several bottles of medicine
without getting any relief he changed
doctors, going to a celebrated physician
of st. Louis who said it was his stomach
and gave him physic and tonic to build
up his system. But every effort failed
and he became discouraged.
Then he consulted another doctor who
after thorough examination told him
he was on the verge of appendicitis and
that an operation was necessary which
he would perform for @Iov.00. My hus-
band consumed me and I refused my con-
sent as several of our friends had been
operated upon, one of whom had died
from just such an operation and in some
cases it was founu, too late, that they
were not suffering from appendicitis at
all. This was in JULY persuaded my
weather. About TINS time my attention
was called to the effect coffee often had

he remarked:

"'Why?' l asked.
Because it tastes better than it did
today And my father who lives with
us remarked, I was just thinking there
was something good about it, and 1 said
Yes, I am trying new brand but
did not tell them what it was.
''The next morning my father said he
had slept better than he had for months
as he usually laid awake most of the
night. When my husband returned from
work in the evening he was in fine spir-
it's, said he felt so good, did not have the
customary headache for the first day in
a long time. Only those having an ailing
man around can realize how unpleasant

and he is now entirely well: headaches
and pains of all kinds are banished.
physics are thrown to the dogs, his
bowels are regular as clockwork, he eats
what he pleases, sleeps like a top and
weighs 10 pounds.
Postum has also helped my father as
he does not complain of sleeplessness any
more and rheumatism and neuralgia do
not bother him so often. 1t is a blessed
relief that we all owe to Postum.
