Heard, a bond and investment expert and actuary of Washington, D. C., arrived in the city- a day or two ago for the purpose of acquainting the Southern people with the dis coverv or inveution, just perfected at the National Capital, which, he thinks, promises to completely revolutionize the cotton seed oil industry. It is. underst6od that the present process for the turn ing out of cotton seed oil requires the use of six different machines. 'Tiih' Farlane RIeinohl invention relating to treating cotton seed, and for which a patent was ap plied for ten days ago, according to a..statement made yesterday by Mr.He rA to a .reporter for the Newsnd Courier, will do away with these six pieces of machinery altogether. The seeds are placed in a large vat containing a certain chemical so'lution, and after a lapse of twenty minutes the hulls pv6 ,i d goat on the surface, , iVletb e&nuded kernels fall to f itopnof' the vat. VifeStates Chemist Wylie, of the department of agriculture, has pronounced this discovery as among the most wonderful of modern times. He has studied the matter carefully and be sees in -it a peedy change from the old-time methods, of producing co'tbn-~ seed, oil. Cougressmau Livingston, of Georgia, is inter-. ested in the scheme. He has always had' tB' wplfre of the Southern farmer afheart and he believes.,that this invention will resul i * rdat benefit to them in more*rays than one. By the use of-tmdrtnAne for separating the cotfon seed kernels from the hulls and lint the small percentage of kernels which adhere to the hulls after they have been opened, and the kernels whicli become entan gled in the lint or fibre, are re covered, and the lint partially dried and -rendered fluffy. The foltowing ,machines now required ai:ciscarded:.Machine for clean inbs eeiof sand, inachine for re moving bolls, pieces of wood, etc., magnetic'. machine for removng iron nails, etc., delinting machine, Lulling aachine --and a reel for separating meats from the hulls. In addition to the vat Already Ab mcitioned a machine is utilized for drying the kernels when they are to be transported a distance to an oi' mill,' or when .the oil is to be extracted immediately. iThe se~l'ae teken directly from the vat to the crushing rolls, the inash~ is heated. and the oil extracted in the usual way. 'It may then be refined or shipped as crude oil. The crushihg rolls now in use are adapted for crushing the seed. "The product of these pro cesses;".said Mr. Heard, "namely, drie l c6tton seed kernels, reducesi the ighit one-half and the bulk1 twVo-thirds for transportation to oil inills, while the. cost of dle nuding the kernais is redueed, nxearly, if not fully, 50 per cent as compared to 'the present pro vailing practice of treating the seed by delipting and hulling the seed by iiechanical means. it also leaves the bulls and the lint in coiti~on for paper stock of a very lbigh quality. This stock is worth fromnone to two cents per pouel, whule the kernels are in condition for reduction to meal for extracting oil. in both these processes the chemnica! solution may be used repeatedly by. main taining it~s strength. "Now in regard to extracting oil from cotton sged, the first proctess o'f tieating cotton seed by the chemical solution is carried on two steps further, an~d the oil extracted therefrom in three steps .or operatious, as against ten steps under the present most approved methods known to the ar-t, as defined by D). A. Tomnpkinis in 'Cotton and Cotton Oil.' pag 24)G. The oil extracted fromu the kernel is ignpregnated with the chemical udl for denuding the seed and serves as a factor in tinA first stepf-re~fing the oil,'thr c serving a .two-fold function. - ext'acting the oil from the en ki i; is fr~ee.d frmac the chzraicid a . is adapted fo use' as a f > pioduct for eattl op as a fe :til 4 zr. - "The cost of producing crude oil by these methods is reduced 50 per cent. And the oil refined is equal to any olive oil on the market, which sells at 80 cents per quart in sealed cans. The cost of refining is no greater than the present cost of refining cot ton seed oil. "Another important point is that in the transportation of cot ton seed treated by the foregoing process only the kernel or meat of the seed is shipped from the ginnery, thus reducing the weight one-half and the bulk to be car ried more than two-thirds. The hulls and the lint (1,000 pounds from a ton of seed) are worth as paper material from $20 to $40, at the rate respectively of one and two cents por pound. This makes a net gain of $9 to $18 over the present practices of treating cotton seed to the step of cooking the meal for extract ing the oil. Besides this there is an additional gair in the saving ?") r" of the chemica.'s for refining oils." Messrs. McFarlane and Reinohl worked and studied .over this question for a long time. Only a few days ago they completed all their experiments and made ap plication to the Government for a patent on their discovery. The fact that they have enlisted the support of many of the leading citizens of *Washington is evi denced of the worth of the in vention. The saving inder the process will, it is claimed, permit the pay ment of :about ,8 a ton more for cotton seed. It is also claimed that it rmeans a revolution in the business and millions of dollars to the cotton farmers of the South. 'It is proposed to or ganize a. iniependent conipany and givethe farMers a chance. orri, ain Livii'son is'work ing faithfully for the egarly plac ing of the inventioif on the mar ket.' If the discovery whiich Mr. Heard is representing does all it clairrs t. do, and there appears no other view to take of the m::t;er, it will be hailed with jo by thousands of tillers of the soil tirorughour the Southern States. Mr. Hea-d is one of t ae lead ing business men of Washingtor and his thorough knowledge o: men and. affair; at that city gives bim a special titnes,; for the work now oc apyinug his attention.

On the evening of the 24th of Dec. there was a XLnas tree at. N the Mt. Olivet academy, and I which proved quite a success. ( The tree was beautifully arranged '] and Old Sante. Claus remembered all present and even left presents I for others who were not there. The children recited appropriate I speeches and sung a Xmas song. Every one present enjoyed the program very much. The school is now quite small and the pros pects are that others will soon move out of reach of the scnool. The Wateree Prize Club held its 14th annual meeting on Xmas nignt at Mr. T. L. Johnston's and awarded prizes for the past year as follows: Mr. F. A. Neil on cotton and potatoes. Cotton yield, 518 pounds lint from one acre. Potatoes, 88 bushels from one-half acre. Mr. J. D. Rawls on wheAt and for the largest watermelon. Wheat .ield, 9 bushels frnm one acre. atermelon weighed 51 pounds. Corn being such a complete failure with everyone th3 club had decided at a previous meet ing not to give a prize .n corn for this year. Mr. Neil is very much wvorried over the many medals he shall have to contend with hereafter, as he has served notice to the club that he expects to win them all another year. The club reorganized for another year by re-electing T. L. John on president and F. A. ilcretar and treasurer. 1rib-Eide almost become as family' reunions and looked for ward to with a great deal of pleasure by every one. Although small now to what it was a few years ago, still ei- hi member works with the sar-1 zeal and interest to make it a success. The farmers are very low spirited but know no other way than to go forward with the same sp-rit shown in the past. We also have a few visitors in the community: Mrs. C. A. Wylie is spending Xmas with the family of Mr. R. H. Hood. Mrs. R. A. Patrick and children of White Oak are spending a few days at Mr. T. L. Johnston's. iev. T. D. Bratton of Raleigh, N.

The first v'ear of the twentieth century is come and gone, and it is one I think that will long be remembered for its poor crops, scarcity of money, and hard times. It is said by old people to be worse than the memorable year of 1843. Of course3 I do rnot remember much about that year as it was the year before I i came over t~o this con ntry. If it -is any worse now than it was then,~we shall all have a tight e pull next year. But it is said everybody pulled through then 1 and we all up here think we can , pull through next year, if our s lives are spared. e Xmas was very dull around ere. A the old saying is thai overty will gente a - - L bink it holds good up here. The young people had several elightful parties during the holi ays given by Messrs. J. E. ichols and J. T.
