]. f. Able COMPANY
MAKES ASSIGNMENT
Well Known Business Firm in
Hands of Receiver---Mr.
Able Optimistic

Upon the petition Of Attorney w. Is.
Colonna, counsel for one OF the credi-
tors, Judge I. J. Barham yesterday
appointed Attorneys j. A. Massie and
w. Il. Colonna as receivers for the
James T. Able Company. which
operates a book and stationary store
at Washington avenue and Twenty
ninth street. The receivers took
charge of the business yesterday even
ing and will continue to operate II.
James T.. Able is retained by them TO
manage the store.
In statement last night. Mr.. Able
said that approximately the liabilities
OF his company are $4,000. while the
assets are $4,000. He says that at
the time OF The death OF his father.
James L. Able. Sr., several months
ago. he voluntarily assumed the en-
tire Indebtedness of his fathers estate,
but that he was not required TO give
bond. When asked recently TO give q
bond he was unable TO do so legally
because the business OF the James T..
Able Company had been so inter
mingled then with the accounts OF the
estate Of the late Mr.. Able that 1t
was impossible to separate the &C
counts OF the new firm from that OF
the old firm.
Continuing, Mr.. Able said that
since the store was moved from
Twenty-slxth street TO Washington
avenue the business has increased and
that the prospects OF putting the ousi-
ness on a sound financial basis are
promising as soon as the receivers are
unhampered by the old debts.
This store is one of the Oldest brsl'
ness houses of Newport News. having
been founded many years ago by
James E. Able, Sr. For number
of years 1t was conducted at i26
Twenty-sixth street. but about two
years ago the store was moved TO It's
present location. Upon the death OF
Mr.. Able, ST.. the James e. Aboe
Company was organized and 1t mas
since conducted the business.
A meeting o the creditors OF the
company probably will be heia
this week. Mr.. Colonna. who asked
for the receiver, represents one OF
the largest creditors. the Keuffel. Mes

Making Flour Of Cotton Seed.

Flour from cotton seed meal as
an edible is said to be no longer in
the thcoretic stage. For a number
of years cotton seed crushers have
been claiming that cotton is a grain
crop as well as a fibre and that from
the, seed an edible -four may be OBJ
tanned.
If flour in any quantity could be
produced from cotton seed, the price
Of wheat flour would be reduced
materially, and anything is a boon
! which contributes to reduce the cost
Of living.
From Tennessee comes the an
nouncement that this cotton, seed
flour has appeared. A prominent
oil mill man said last week:
"James j. Hill and other econo-
mists have stated that the United
[ States can no longer class herself as
a wheat exporting country and with
in u very few years Americans must
look elsewhere for a portion of their
food supply.
"Those who believe in the South
as the future salvation of the nation
say that the chances are that neither
Mr.. Fill nor others, who have given
the food question much thought
have counted upon the possibility of
the untounched source-the cotton
field of the South"
In heralding to the world this new
product, the Ennis, Tenn, Daily
News says: =.
"Cotton seed flour is a commercial
fact and Ennis stands sponsor for
the announcement. 1t has arrived
and it has come to stay. Tt is not
only a good. a healthful, delicious and
nutritious food, but it is a patriotic
one"

He knelt beside her pillow, in the
dead watch Of the night,
And he heard her gentle breathing;
but her face was still and white.
And on her poor, wan cheek a tear
told how the heart can weep,
And he said: "My love was weary
God bless hers She's asleep
He knelt beside her g%ravestone in
the shuddering autumn night,
And he heard the dry grass rustic.
and his face was thin and white,
And through his heart the tremol
