It is Prohibited From Soldiers Homes
 Benefited By Appropriation.

Washington. June 12.-An amendment, ordered by Mir Bowersock of Kansas, to the sundry civil appropriation bill that no part of the appropriation should apply to any national soldiers home in which a canteen is maintained, brought before the house today the entire canteen .ques- ton. MT. Tawney of Minnesota made a point of order against the amendment. but the chair held the amendment was germane.
 MT. Gardner of Michigan thought the government should throw around the old soldiers, the weak old soldier. the de- crepit old soldiers its arms of protec- ton and make the eve of his life one of uprightness and soberness. MT. Sul- livan of Massachusetts took exception to statement by saying that the canteen was very much more than a saloon. and that the patrons of the canteen were made up of the "choice and selected spirits" who had fought in one war. many in two wars, and he thought it would be donig an injury to the old soldier to take away his liquor in the evening of his life. After further de- bate the amendment was adopted.

leans. and used to exhibit a small bottle of cotton seed oil, which he said had cost him $12, 900.
 At the present time 1906 there are sev- enteen oil mills in England.
 In 1920 pr. Waring made "A good edible oil from cotton seed" at Columbia, S. c. llshed in New Orleans.
 In 1855 other cotton seed oil mills were erected in New Orleans, Oil was refined in Providence, R. l., and the cake ex- ported to Europe
 In 1866 a cotton seed oil mill was built at Columbia, s. G. but suspended a short while afterwards when the market value of crude cotton seed oil dropped below 35 cents per gallon.
 There are now in the United States 715 crude oil mills, 25 refineries making the improved grade of cotton seed oil, IS factories making compound lard from cot ton seed oil, exclusive of the hogs lard refneries where probably some cotton seed oil is also used.
 One pound of pure cotton seed oil will go as far in cooking as one and one-half pounds of hogs lard, and sells at retail at about one-half the price, and 1t is pure, sweet and holesome.
 Cotton seed meal, as a stock-feedlng material, is worth four times as much as corn meal, two and one-half times as much as winter wheat and seven times as much as brewers grains Cotton seed cake is valued so highly by the English feeders that mills making 1t in that country are known as cake mills.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-06-13

.. In the United States they are called oil mills, and the cake is considered by product.
 Cotton seed hulls for cattle feed is worth as much as the best timothy hay It Is worth one and one-half times as much as corn fodder; 1t usually sells at about one fourth the price of either.
 Cotton seed linters used in the manu- fracture of mattresses pillows, quilts, com forts and similar articles, are worth about one-half as much as middllng cotton, and generally sell for about one-third the price of cotton.
 It has converted a waste product into commercial commodities worth s100,000,00 000
 It has provided the world with the purest sweetest and most wholesome cooking fat ever produced in any country.
 It has provided a substitute for hogs lard, and is far surperior to that product for all culinary purposes, and it's use Is far more economical.
 It has given to the south the best and cheapest stock feed ever produced.
 It has made cattle raising and dairying in the south possible and profitable.

NEGRO BROUGHT TO
 BIRMINGHAM JAIL
TALK OF LYNcHlNG INDUCED IN AT ROCK SPRlNGS-GADSDE CONTRACT WITH RICH IS AM NULLED.

Gadsden, June 12-(Specal)-Ed Tay- lor, father of o. c. Taylor the negro who shot and killed Henry Hammond Saturday night at Rock Springs, was taken to Birmingham last night for safe keeping. It was reported Sunday that o. c. Taylor would be lynched, and as the facts became known of his father s connection with the crime 1t was feared that he too, might be lynched. Ed Fay lor, 1t is alleged, handed the shot gun to his son and told him to kill Hammond. A posse of armed men is in close pursuit of O. c. Taylor and at last report he was heading for the home of his mother-in- Jaw in Calhoun county. The section where the killing occurred is quite thick ly settled with both whites and blacks, who work in the stone quarries and lime klns, and it was feared that these peo- pie would lynch the negroes. There was mo talk of lynching heard on the streets of this city.
 Mayor Smith has received telegram from Cincinnati saying that Judge Albert c, Thompson of the United States, court ' yesterday made an order annulling the written contract entered into between the city of Gadsden and A. L. Rich & Co., who contracted to buy the $150,O0O worth of bonds of this city. Last week Mayor Smith petltioned the court to annul the contract so that the bonds could be res advertised and sold. Edgar Stark, re- ceiver of the brokerage firm, filed an an swer, stating that he saw no reason why the petition should not be granted and the order was made accordingly. The people here are greatly pleased over the result as it was feared there would be anothr tangle, which would cause fur .ther delay. There will be no trouble in selling the bonds at once, as there are several responsible concerns that wish to purchase them.

So far as known there were no objections to the marriage and just why the young people fled to Annis- ton is not known Miss Stewart is a young lady who is held in the highest esteem and belongs to one of the most respected families in this part of the state.

Some time during the investigation and conference that followed the citys representatives suggested the purchase by the city of the plant. The company entertained the proposition with some favor, it is said, and conference be tween committee of the council and President Adler was agreed upon
 MT. Adler selected tomorrow as the date for this conference and notified the mayor of the fact by letter which was received at the last meeting of the council.
