PGulus Hook now Jersey City, they had
some strong works defended by a garri-
son of 800 men. Lee was selected to sur
prise the post, and with a picked force of
300 men he made a night dash from the
northwest. At 3 am. he reached Harsi-
mus creek. and then by the most careful
maneuvering got his men within the main
works. somehow eluding the sentinels

security of the fort or not so vigilant as
they should be. The surprise COM

garrison had retreated. To capture this
without cannon was impossible so Lee
retreated with his prisoners. arriving in
the American camp at Morristown in tri-
umph at 10 an, having lost two men
killed and. three wounded.
Probably it was because Of the strategy
he employed in this affair that Washing
ton sought his aid in the endeavor to cap
ture the traitor Arnold
Washington learned a few days after
the execution of Andre that Arnold's
quarters were next door to those of Sir
Henry Clinton at No. Z Broadway the
present site of the huge Bowling Green
buiding), and that he seemed so secure
that he exercised no particular caution.
Washington sent for Lee and explained 10
him that he wanted man to go into New
York. capture Arnold and bring him to
the American headquarters. 1t was haZ-
ardOus in the extreme. but TO ne man
who succeeded fame and fortune would be
the reward. Washington asked If Lee
had q man for the task. The man would
have to desert Necessarily he should not
be a commissioned officer. for such de-
sertion would excite suspicion. The man.
however would have to be of the highest
intelligence. daring and patriotism. Lee
said he knew the man. 1t was John
Champe. sergeant jor of the legion.
Lee sent for Champe and explained the
commander-in-chief's plan Champe was
torn by two emotions. one of patriotism.
the other of horror at the thought of de-
sertion. No member of the legion ever
had deserted and he had all the pride of
Virginian
1t was Washingtons order that there
should be no delay, SO Champe prepared
to act at once. He received two letters
to men in New York, each unknown to
the other. but each a confidential agent
of Washington. They would forward
messages to Washington for him. He
was to act as his judgment dictated after
he got into the city and surveyed the
situation, but under no condition was he
to kill Arnold. Washington would not

Growth of CettOnseed Industry.

In 1900 there were 369 cotton seed-oil mills in the South. There are now ZZ5. In that period the capital invested has increased from $55, ,45o.ooO to $loO.OOO,0oo There is scarcely an industry in the South the development of which has been upon broader lines, or which has had better effect up- on the development of this section. Based on cottonseed, which were once regarded as a nuisance to be got rid of, there has been created this vast industry with an invest ment of ever $1Oo.OOO.OOO, furn- ishing employment to many thous ands of hands and adding inn mensely to the profit of cotton growers, to the manufacturing interests of the South and to the development of the fertilizer indus try, thus making it possible through the creation of this indus try to materially assist in improve ing the fertility of the soil. From the seed to the mill, to the oil re- fnery, to the fertilizer factory, to the fattening of the cattle and back again to the enrichment of the soil that more cotton and more seed may be produced is the course of the raw material out of which has been created one of the world S most thoroughly roundabout in- dustries.

 There are 46 of these mills To- cated in Arkansas.

To Bore for Oil in Union County.

J. B. Whitlock, state minerolog ist, and Guy B. Tucker. oommis- sioner of mines, manufacture and agriculture. were in Fl Dorado last week making arrangements [ secure oil and gas options on many acres of land in Union coun ty as possible. which options wi be turned over to syndeat to bore for oil and gas. Should { paying well be struck the man or whose ground same is located vii receive eighth cf the oil pro duced, gas for his own use and $25 per quarter rental for the land.
 They had maps of all the oil fields in the United States and could show that, to say the least of it, Union county was in line be- tween the wells in Pennsylvania and those in Louisiana and Texas, which seemingly are nearly in a row from the northwest to the southwest across the United States.
 Another thing that looks hopeful is that coal is found near the sur face fifteen miles east of Fl Dora do and a strater of coal is often found in wells bored or dug right in El Dorado.
 Messrs. Tucker and Whitloek are having no trouble in securing leases and the project to bore for oil in Union county is, without question, a go for, of course, no man with land will hesitate about giving a lease when he has all to gain and nothing to lose.
