PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS.


There is considerable interest in
the announcement that the contract
has been let for the erection at Cor
dele of the first plant in the world
to manufacture paper from cotton
stalks.
The contract calls for the compile
ton of this plant by the middle of
October. at which time the work of
manufacturing the new product will
begin.
II is estimated that a ton and a
half Of cotton stalks will produce a
ton OF paper and that the use of this
by-product of the cotton crop will
ultimately place fifty million dollars
in the hands of the farmers of the
south.
The new mill will employ fifty or
seventy-five high class operatives and
the payroll will amount to about
seven hundred and fifty dollars a
week.
The capacity of the plant will be
about forty tons per day. Two ma
chimes will be installed, one for the
manufacture of wax, toilet, tissue
and blotting paper, and the other
viii make wrapping. hardware and
bag paper.
The economic feasibility Of max
ing paper from cotton stalks has al
ready been demonstrated and the
progress Of this new industry will be
watched with great interest

One horse was seen following the field

many thousands of American dollars

the kings success was inspiring as a
victory in a great international con-

and in the minds of Englishmen

thoroughbred sportsman.

There is a fight on between Pro
motors Jim Coffroth and Charley Ler-
carl as to which will handle the john
Kaufman match. The very fact
that the big black champion has aban-
doned his proposed European trip. and
intends to remain here instead is proof
positive that he will fight Kaufman n
within the next two months. He is In
touch with both promoters and his
price is $4,000, win, lose or draw One
of them probably will hook him by to-
morrow at the latest, and now it is
question as to which will land. The
odds look about even up, so it's an open
race.
Lercari was the first to break in,
sending Johnson an offer two days ago.
The champion replied that he would
fight Kaufman in July or August. pro-
vided that he was guaranteed SO 900
for his bit. Lercari did not wire this
guarantee outright. but he inferred 10
the champion that he would come
through, provided he could do buSi-
ness with Kaufman.
The latter has not yet given Lercari
