COTTON AND COTTON SEED.

Contributed to THE CoMMoNwkALTnD
When the cotton planter is as great
q consumer of cotton seed products as
the Now England city men, the de-
mand will be 80 much stimulated that
the mills will be able to pay more tor
seed.
Delightful biscuits can be made
from cotton seed meal. They were
passed around at the recent meeting OF
the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers
Association at Atlanta, Ca, and all
who partook of same pronounced them
very excellent.
Why not use as lar as possible prime
cotton oil tor cooking purposes and
quit the impure lard made in the
mysterious recesses of the northern
packing houses?
No farmer should fail to study the
feeding OF cotton seed and meal to
hogs. 1t produces the best pork and
is cheaper than corn. The meal, how.
ever, must be fed carefully, same az
any other feed.
Raw cotton seed do not fatten cattle
as we'll as the cooked and prepared
meal--the reason is easy-the oil in
the seed and the lint on them are pos.
ltlye impairment to proper assimi.
latlon and digestion, while a mixture
OF both the hulls and meal with the
oil and Int removed makes a healthy
fat producing ration.

ENTHusIASM COOLS TOO SOON

It might be correct tor us to say
that it is characteristic OF human
nature to allow well-wrought enthus-
iasm to cool too soon. We do not
particularly care to express it in that
way, but we feel warranted in saying
that the farmers OF Halifax county
have not kept up, as they should,
their enthusiasm for the Southern
Cotton Association.
While one and another may say that
the organization of the Southern cot
ton farmers has had little to do with
the better prices which have been
paid for the 1905 crop over the crop OF
1904, it will be bard to prove such a
statement.
To be sure, we all recognize the fact
that the short crop of last season
played good part in raising the price
of cotton but with the significant sta
tlstics set forth by those whose opinion
in the cotton world is valuable that
the crop of last season was not enough
to supply the worlds demand for the
staple, it is as clear as logic can show
it that the short crop was not the only
factor in securing higher prices. The
plain truth of the matter is that the
cotton world was compelled to have
regard to the organization and atti-
tude OF the farmers in their own inter.
est, and one argues himself wanting In
logical deductions when he says that
the Southern Cotton Association had
nothing to do with the better prices.
The purpose of this article, however
is to direct attention to affairs of the
Southern Cotton Association in Hall.

places where the good enthusiasm ha.
too soon abated.

BIDS FOR cooLIE LABOR
Called for by the Isthmian Canal
Commission.

Specification for bids to furnish Chinese
labor for the construction of the Panama
canal have been issued by the isthmian
canal commission. The basis for bidding
is invitations for 2, 500 coolies, although it
is made clear that the commission may
call for such additional numbers of Chi
nese laborers as it may need, should the
experiment be successful, but the number
shall not exceed 1900 per month. All pro-
posals must be received not later than
September 20.
Individuals, copartnerships or corpora
tions competent to fulfill the terms Of the
proposal will be permitted to bid, but the
proposals must be accompanied. by a certi-
fled check or by a bond for $4,000. The
bond of the successful bidder will be ad-
vanced to 100000, which will be forfeited
If he should fail to enter into contract.
Extra precaution has been taken by the
commission, in its specifications, to pro-
vide against liability for damages or in
demnity on account Of the death or dis
ability of any laborer or employe by ac-
cident or disease. The contractor must
accept the responsibility for any such
damages maintained by legal claim.
Laborers coming under this contract will
be provided, free of charge, with lodgings,
burial grounds, etc.
Contractors must deliver the Chinese
coolies at either Christobal on the Atlantic
or La Boca on the Pacific coast. The full
number of laborers to be furnished under
this initial proposal must arrive within
the isthmian canal zone on or before Janu-
ary Z, 1907, or within three and one-half
months from the time the award is made.
In addition to the bids to supply $500
laborers the bidders are required to sub
NIT proposals for each additional 600 Ia
borers that may be required by the COM
mission. Laborers are desired from the
southern provinces of China, and such per-
sons only will be accepted as have been
accustomed to climatic and physical con-
ditions as nearly similar as may be ex-
perienced on the Isthmus of Panama. No
laborers will be accepted who have been
brought from any part of the Hawaiian
Islands.

PROVES A CATASTROPHE.
Reports Continue to Show Seriousness
of Disaster.

SANTIAGO, Chile, August 20, p.m.-Only
begin TO be appreciated. The greater part
of the modern houses here are unsafe for
habitaton. and the authorities have organ
lied a special corps to pull down the totter-
Ing buildings. In most of the streets IL is
not safe to walk on the pavement, owing
10 fallen debris.
Santiago resembles a camp. The public
squares and the principal avenues are
crowded with people sleeping in the open
All kinds of carriages and carts have been
requistioned to sleep in, or even under
them.
The night of August 16 wa rendered
Dreadful by flashing lightning and pouring
rain, the electric cables and wires swapping
as a result of the constant strong earth
shocks. which occurred all that night, caus-
Ing the greatest CONSERVATION, which was
heightened by the pealing of the fire bells
announcing the breaking out of fires In va
rious quarters of the city. Each earthquake
was followed by walls and prayers from the
people. who were kneeling in the rain and
mud. The first great shocks lasted four
minutes and fifty seconds.
Such long shock had never occurred be-
fore in the memory of any inhabitant of
Santiago. 1t caused the bells of the churches
to ring, pictures swung out from the walls
and there was great heaving motion of
the ground. Experts say that the only
thing which caved Santiago from complete
ruin was that the motion was circular. The
principal shock was from Valparaiso to
eantiago and Meripilla, with its center at
Limache. The last two mentioned towns

3 DEAD BY A BLOWOUT
OTHER WORKMEN IN SERIOUS
CONDITION AT PITTsBURG.

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 21.-Three me,,
are dead, two are in a serious condition and
nine others were rendered unconscious by q
blowout of accumulatd gas early today at
the Eliza furnaces of the Jones & Laugh
Inns Steel Company at Soho, this city.
The dead: George Marsley, Andrew Mar
sley, Michael Boise.
The men were engaged in dumping ore
and coke into the furnace from the top
when there was an explosion Of accumu-
lated gas.
Flames shot up and enveloped Andrew
Marsley in the deadly fumes and he fell
over unconscious. His brother George went
to his assistance, but he, too, was over
come, and Michael Boise. who followed
him, was also rendered insensipie.
In spite of their realization that the same
fate awaited them each of the eleven men
remaining attempted to succor those first
attacked, and every one in his turn was
overcome. BY this time notice of the acci-
dent had reached the workmen below, and
the gas was shut off. The men were then
rescued and taken to the company's emer-
gency hospital On the way the three
named died.
The others were promptly resuscltated,
and all but two, John Marsley and George
Ola, were able to go to their homes. Ola
and Marsley were removed to the Mercy
Hospital in this city. Both are suffering
from burns and their injuries may result
fatally.

PRICE OF SUGAR DROPS
SEQUEL TO COMPETITIVE CON.
TEST BETWEEN REFINERs.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 21.-The Ex-
aminer says today:
After five months competition between
the Western Sugar Refinery and the Cali
fornia and Hawaiian Sugar Refining Com
pany, the price of sugar has dropped from
s.. Is to $4.30. In New York the price Is
$780, while at the Missouri river 1t is 50.
The A.30 price In the local market means
the ruling figure for all the Pacific coast
states.
This figure is so low that southern and
other coast beet sugar makers refuse to
sell here, and are shipping all their output
to the Missouri river. Both the local re-
fEeries are also shipping to the Missouri
river. Their fight. however, Is to control
the Pacific coast field.
It is estimated the S5-cent reduction will
affect $50. 100000 pounds and that there will
be reduction Of from 27 to 80 cents per
100 pounds on 350.OOO,O00 pounds.
