COTTON STALKS
Their Conversion into Paper Assured
Plant at Corde1le, Ga.

New Orleans States: At recent
meeting of the directors of the South
ern Pulp and Paper Company held in
Atlanta, the contract for the erection
at Cordele, Ga, of the initial mill for
the manufacture. of paper from cotton
stalks was awarded to firm of con-
tractors. The mill is to be the finest and
most commodious in the South. There
will be two three-story hreproof build
ings, one so by 800 feet and the other
40 by $50 feet. The contract calls for
the completion of the entire plant on or
before October IS, at which time the
company will be ready to begin the man
ufacture of paper.
The capacity of the plant will be forty
tons Of paper per day, as two machines
will be installed. One machine will man.
ufacture tissue, wax, toilet and blottine
paper and utilize cotton seed hulls in
stead of rags for portion of the out
put The other machine will make
wrapping, hardware and bag paper. he
quality of all the grades of paper is tc
be far superior to that made from wood
pump, both in texture and tensile
strength. The number of men to be en-
ployed will be from fifty to- seventy five
most of whom will be first class work
men.
The site for the mills includes sixteen
acres of ground near the Seven Springs
in the town of Cordele and within a
short distance of three railway lines
with which connection will be made by
spur tracks. The promoters of the en-
terprise say there are cotton stalks
enough in the South to supply the
world with paper, and through the util-
ization of that which now goes to waste
it is estimated that $5o,oooooo would be
gained to the cotton growers each year
According to the calculations that have
been made one ton of paper can be pro-
duced from one and one-half tons OF
stalks.
The Cordele paper mill will be the
first of its kind in the world and its
promoters predict that it will not only
revolutionize the paper making indus
try, but the use of the stalks will de-
stroy the boil weevil. At the present
time there are only six mills in the
South manufacturing paper, but they
use other materials than cotton stalks,
hence the persons interested in the Cor
dele enterprise believe it will mark the
beginning of great and prosperous in
dustry in the South.

CONVERTING THE CHINESE.

In the murder of Elsie Siegel there is
silent, yet all powerful, protest against
the attempts at converting the Chinese.
How many young American women,
engaged in missionary work in New
York and other cities, have been lured
to destruction by these Celesitals.
1t is of record that, except in very
isolated instances, say one in a million,
the American women who have been
enticed to marry the Chinese have been
Inundated and degraded to the lowest
depths.
The Chinese entertains as much re-
gard for the Christians belief as the
Christians have for the Chinese Joss.
What would be the answer of the
Christian who when approached by a
Chinese missionary, would be told that
Joss was the only dispenser of all that
is good Indeed, that Joss is the ST.
preme Ruler of the universe.
Such a missionary would arouse the
risibles of the Christian if he escaped
with resentment most serious.
From the knowledge Of women of
experience and of mature age it is stated
that the Chinese mission is no place for
young women. According to the state
ments of these experienced missionaries
the Chinese ambition is not to become
Christianized, but to lure young women
with their wiles 1t is not singular then
that Mrs. Florence Todd, the oldest
mission worker in New York, has de-
clared that she would rather see her
daughter dead than be the wife of a
Chinese.
This declaration by a woman of Mrs.
Todds stamp and whose long life has
been devoted to good works should be
sufficient protest against the Chinese.
It is an Indictment which should damn
the Chinese from all respectful consid-
Grafton
In the face of such an Indictment
why should money and time be wasted
on the Chinese? W.
How many Chinese could atone for
the murder of Elsie Siegel? How many
American girls have suffered the ordeals
of hell when in the clutches of the
Chinese?
