GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS.
Cotton Seed Rendered Vastly tlore
Valuable.
ANews and Couwrier, 28th.
Mr. H. I. T. 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.

also that of the general assemb
this our report of the businos
done by the dispensary duri:g
the fiscal year closing Nov. 1),
1901.
Examination of the various '
counts attached hereto, will show
that the total amount of cosiof
liquors, wines and beef, ec.,
purchased during the year,-as
amounted to $1,617,973.47, id
that our gross sales have amo
ted to $2,328,681.21 (exclusiv of
sales of fresh beer by beer dii
pensers.)
The net profit (to the Statb)
for account of the school fund:is
$120,962.25. The net profit,
that have-accrued to the counties
and towns, divided equally, mce
$424,285.87, which makes a tottl
net profit of $545,248.12 for tie
Year, on account of the schod
fund and towns and. counties.
We have for some time felt a
serious need of more warehouse
and office room, and also a safe
and commodious fire proof vault
for the storage and preservation
of our permanent records. Con
sequently we have had c'6nstiu~e
ted more storage capagity, and
also a convenient two stpry office
building with a comm ious and
up-to-date fireproof vs t, which
has cost $14,494.8t bes es other
petty improvement.
The act approved Fe 19,190t,
forbids as to It5
per cent profit on' e
school fund,, and the pas year we
have made onA that a ount in
round figures -6 per ce , which
leaves only a very sma margin
with wbich to run the usiness,
and while it is true bat the
school fiud is consi erable,
amountiu at present t$ $611,
.354.38, it 's available v-y slowly
for payn ent to the schools, as
that is o- r only working capital.
We arl gratified to be able to
show su a high per centage of
net prot s on the business done,
especia! as the price of liquors
have be very high on account
of the l h rate of grain, while
we havC ot made any advance in
the pri, to the cohsumer.
The ystem seems to be in
very th ough working order in
all its.' tails. Respectfully sub

penings.
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.

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

everybody pulled through then
