The intention OF the committee IS
largely TO make Washington a couven-

round that other large cities are Law

natural advantages for such purpose IS
well recognized and appreciated. The
committee uses the following language
regarding the hotel accommodations Of
the city.

Of his heart was due partly to over

stuff from a bottle which they said
was coffee. Even coffee taken in
such quantities would be likely to
affect his stomach and cause his
collapse. There wasn't a bruise

Paper From Cotton Stalks.
Charlotte Observer,

Charlotte Observer.
1t seems that success is about
to crown the oft-repeated, but
heretofore unsuccessful efforts to
manufacture paper from cotton
stalks. AS we noted some time
ago, there has been discovered in
Georgia a process whereby, it is
claimed, the difficulties which
other experimenters found insur-
mountable are overcome. The
first mill will be located at Cor
dele, Ca, and will be completed
by October l. It's initial capacity
will be Is tons of commercial
wrapping paper per day. Later
on the capacity will be greatly
increased and higher grades of
paper made. The company is
headed by w. H. Crole, a paper
manufacturer of fifteen years
experience, who has devoted the
last six years to perfecting his
process for the manufacture OF
paper from cotton stalks.
If this company makes the
success of it's venture which il
anticipates it will revolutionize
newspaper manufacture and will
be a godsend to the South, where
there is an inexhaustible supply
of the raw material-a a supply un
ending because of it's annual re
newal; and when the manufac'
ture becomes general it will adj
an estimated increase of ift,
million dollars to the value of tn
Southern cotton CROP A produc
of the farms which now not onl,
brings the planters no return bu

clearing off their land, will the

hope that the owners of this neN
process will not allow themselve
to be taken in by the paper trus1
but will maintain their indeper
, dence. Even should they go il
