AN oM-BURNING NAVY NEXT.
British Agents to Study Canadian
Petroleum for Fuel.

Major ]. r. D. Graham, formerly
of the British army, and ]. D. Henry,
who are on their way to Canada to
look into the productivity of the Do
minion oil fields, arrived in New
York on the st. Louis few days ago.
They are experts on the use of oil as
fuel on steamships, and they expect
that Canada will be able hereafter
to furnish the British navy all the
oil fuel 1t may need.
Major Graham said that it would
be only few years before oil would
displace coal as fuel on the war ships
of Great Britain and all the Euro
pean navies. The swiftest war ship
In the world, the turbine torpedo
boat destroyer 1arter, which recent
ly made more than thirty-seven
knots an hour on one of her trial
runs, Is an oil burner, and there Is
now under construction small tor
pedo boat destroyer, also to be an
oil burner, that her architects ex-
pect will develop fifty knots.
"The cleanliness Of oil, as COM
pared with COAL" said Major Gra-
ham, 'its reliability In keeping up
an even pressure of steam, and the
fact that weight for weight, it gives
nearly twice the steaming radius Of
coal, appeal to the ship owners and
the navy architects Of the world. The
German emperor has foreseen the
possibilities of oil as fuel, and has
obtained control, practically, Of the
Roumanian and Bulgarian oil fields.
All the new German torpedo boats
and small gunboats have been fitted
with oil-burning furnaces. The
quantity of space saved in the quar-
ters of the crew more than compen-
safes for the slight increase in the
cost Of the fuel. On a large battle
shir burning coal about $50 men
are required In the stokehold w hereas
in a battleship Of the same size
burning oil only about forty men are
necessary.
81 can say with positiveness that
within three months large passen-
ger steamer will come over burning
oil to generate steam. A ship like
the st. Louis, fitted with the latest
oil-burning furnaces, could do with
only twenty-five men in the stoke
holds. The merchant service will
surely follow the war fleets In In
stall!ng oil burning mechanism"
The value of the Canadian oil
fields to the British navy would lie
in the possibility that oil may be-
come embraced by war If it Is gene
rally used by warships, in which
event Britain would have to rely on
its own resources.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Interesting Statements Made at Re-
cent Louisville Meeting.

., When the cotton seed oil manufac-
turers met In Louisville, Ky, recent
ly they heard many good speeches
from men of experience on the use Of
cotton seed hulls and meal for feed
ing. Facts were given by such men
gusta, by L. G. H. Estes, Of Texas.
(better known as the RED Neck"
farmer from Texas). and others.
These facts are Of general interest to
every farmer in South Carolina. The
speeches stated that the time has
come now when the farmers should
pay less for their feed stuffs and
raise more cattle, mote milch cows,
more farm stock. BY careful feed
ing with cotton seed products this
can be done with success. Any of the
experiment stations will furnish the
proper proportion of feeds II the far
mers will write for them. The Glenn
son station Is always anxious to help
In this line. Judge Hammond said:
with the Southern farmer it Is
corn! corn! corn! Whether 1t Is his
own nubbins that give out about the
1st of December, or the damp, soft,
black hearted stuff he buys from the
West at 80 cents to $1.2O, bushel
Gust now an even dollar) 1t makes
no difference. 'Corn's corn to him.
He acknowledges the corn, whether
it's his own or somebody's else
whether it's good or bad. Corn's all
right, all right, but then 1t 'ain't the
whole cheese I think 1t Is about a
quarter of the cheese when 1t comes
to a well-balanced work stock ration.
l am not taking a shot at corn, the
worlds greatest cereal; I love 1t, to
eat 1t, to feed 1t. I am only demand
ing for cotton seed meal that consti-
tutional right accorded every citizen
"a fair trial and an honest verdict.
"Lamborne bases the statement
upon many actual feeding tests made
throughout the entire country that:
'One pound of cotton seed meal
equals one and three-quarter pounds
of corn or corn meal AS one pound
of meal Is equal to 1 n pounds Of
corn, ton, or 1000 pounds, Of meal
is equal to $500 pounds Of corn.
Hence, when corn Is worth so cents
bushel, $500 pounds Of corn, or
It's equivalent, ton Of meal would
be worth $31.25; when corn is worth
60 cents a bushel, ton of meal
would be worth $3.50; when it Is
70 cents a bushel, ton Of meal
would be- worth $43.75; when 1T Is
worth 80 cents a bushel, ton Of
meal would be worth $50; when 1t
is worth 30 cents bushel, ton of
meal would be worth $56.2o, and
when 1t Is 81 a bushel, a ton Of meal
would be worth $62.50. .a. .....
IT regret that cotton seed meal ts
to-day selling at my home, Augusta,
Ga, for only about $23 ton. re-
gret even more deeply that corn,
mean Western corn, is being retailed
there for 81 bushel These prices
are sadly out Of whack. 1t is your
concern to set them right"

LOOKS LIKE PRospERrrY AGAIN
Interior Buyers Once More Stocking
UP with Goods.

vew York, June 4.--Signs of re-
turning confidence are once more to
be seen on the hotel registers of the
city, for the buyers from out-of-town
firms have been fiocking in OF late,
y seemingly on every train. A re-
markable instance is at one hotel,
where from single st. Louis dry
goods house twenty buyers are stay
ing. In former years fifteen buyers
from the larger houses In the West
were usually the limit to be sent
here at one time, but in Presiden-
tial year the number was much less
as rule.
e In discussing this point Frederick
ID. Berard, statistician Of the Mer-
chants Association Of New. York,
said that it was only in accord with
reports from merchants associations
and business men of many parts of
the country. What 1T n,eans,''t he
continued, sis that there is not an
over supply of manufactured pros
ducts in any one locality. Moreover,
sending so many buyers to the great
centres like New York shows that
merchants expect good year. 3 =
"Just at present the only point in
question Is the outcome Of the crops.
But at this season every year there is
the same uncertainty, depending on
weather conditions. Somehow the
customary hesitancy exhibited In an
election year has not been SO much
in evidence SO far as can see." &

"NIGaER GOT NO SHOW"
Amusing Incident that Took Place in
Mississippi Court Re n.


The Mississippi court room was
packed with negroes, and 1t was fair
ly evident, says contributor to the
Taylor-Trotwcod Magazine, that
something of unusual interest was
about to transpire. Within the bar
on the prisoners seat an old negro
leaned eargerly forward as his at
torney argued his plea OF not guilty
before the jury.
Who, gentlemen of the jury, has
sworn that he saw this man commit
this theft?" demanded the attorney.
1--WE have broken every link in the
weak chain o? circumstantial evil
dence with which the State has tried
to entangle him. Why, his neighbor,
Tom Jones, swore that he sold him
the meat that was found in the de-
defendants house, and that he shot
the hog because it was wild.
1T is truo that Col. Smith swore
that one of his hogs disappeared
about December 23 and that about
fifty yards from certain stump he
found blood and then followed trail
of blood from that spot to this de-
fendants cabin. But what of that?
This defendant told you-and his
wife and brother swore the same
that that was the blood OF coon
which he had shot and carried home
the day before Smith lost his hog.
Give him justice as you would do II
he were a white man. He cannot
help being black. The leopard can
not change his spots nor the Ethio-
plan his skim For twenty years he
has been leader in the church. Let
him remain free to enjoy the bread
of life with others of the faithful"
Ac tho 10 cot rryo-
men, who had been weaving" back
and forth for some minutes, COM
menced to shout:
Press de Lawd!"
Oar, now"
I'VE knows yo's innocent, Br'er
Juniper!"
The sheriff had to threaten to clear
the court room before order was re-
stored. When at last there was 81
lence the district attorney arose.
Gentlemen OF the jury" he began
In closing the case for the State, II
desire only to bring a picture to your
minds"
Here the prisoner adjusted his big
brass trimmed spectacles as If to see
the picture, and his manner showed
that he was determined to let no de-
tail escape him.
hS Nou VI iooS' bSCChlucI, COu-
tinued the district attorney, "found
Juniper Bradley without meat. His
son was coming to spend Christmas
with him. But Juniper did not
worry, for only half mile away in
Marse Smiths woods were some fat
hogs.
"An hour before sunset Juniper
was kneeling behind a large stump
In these woods, with his rifle point
ing toward a hog that at some dist
ance away was roofing among the
leaves"
The district attorney paused. TAX
ing cane to represent a rifle, he
knelt behind a chair. After some
minutes of moving to right and left,
now raising, now lowering his rifle,
he took careful aim and then fred,
initiating the noise of report very
successfully.
At the sound Juniper, who had
been smiling, apparently oblivious to
everything save the district attor-
ney's movements, exclaimed:
"Yas, sub, dat's jes de way done
| 1t, boss!"
The laugh that followed brought
Juniper to a realization of what he
had done, and he shuffied round in
the prisoners seat, muttering, "Nig-
ger got no show, nohow!"

THOSE CHINESE SERVANTS.
They're Good When They're Good,
but DO Strange Things.

A recent writer in magazine
gives the following amusing incl
dents, among many others, of the
peculiar characteristics of the Japa-
nese servant:
The star pupils in the Sunday
schools are the ones most likely to
do surprising things. A minister's
family in Pasadena had cook who
had become as much part In the
household machinery as the Bible.
The servant had been taught the
three RS and the primer of Christi
anity.
One day he demanded an increase
of SIS month in his wages and after
some reluctance the advance was
promised. John worked month and
collected the extra IS. Then he said
he wanted SIS more because his wife
was Ill in China. The second piece of
extortion was too much and the Chi
naman was told he must be satisfied
with what he had been recel wing.
John shook his head and muttered
In the strange gibberish of the Can
ton dialect. The next morning there
was no breakfast. On the door of
the pantry the results Of Johns edu-
cation, religious and otherwise, were
demonstrated in the following:
You no pay
I no stay
Jesus loves me
go way.
One day a housewife in Los An
geles told her cook to make a cake
for a church fair. Quong had gone
to Sunday school and he was delight
ed with an opportunity he had receiv-
ed. All morning he worked on a
cake that was large in size and elab-
crate In design. He made frostings
Of various colors aud used them for
decorations marvellous to behold.
When the cake was finished it bore
this inscriptions:
EEa Don't go to the Devil
From the
Robins ons. @
BITS. hODlnSOn was nOrr1ueC. Inen
she saw the amusing side of the di-
lemma. Quong had a wholesome fear
Of the devil and had put what he con-
sidered most important warning
into words. Then with the laudable
desire that the church should know
who sent the cake he had added:
From the Robinsona."
There was family conference. II
the cake was not sent to the church
Quong might be so deeply offended
that he would leave the place in
which he was much needed. 1t was
decided that instead of running the
risk Of losing a valued servant the
Robinsons would better make the
best of an absurd situation.
The cake was duly delivered at
the church. 1t caused much hilarity
among the friends of the Robinsons
and when it was sold at auction there
was such lively bidding that it was
finally knocked down to a tourist for
$50.
