I'HE ffEWS AKFHERALD. ; winxsboro, s. c. WEDNESDAY. January 18, : : : 188?. R. TTEAJfS DAVIS, EDITOR. . SXQ. s. REYNOLDS, Associate Emtok. | Bliss modestly thinks he ought to have about fifty thousand dollars for his services in the Garfield case. Congressxax Stephens has been investigating the mail irregularities, and reports that the fault lies not with the postal authorities but with the railroad syndicates, and adds that detentions occur chiefly at points north of Charlotte. The fast mail makes less speed than the old-fashioned penny post. Senator Butlek is quite amused that ex-Judge Thomas, in the .New York Times, parades him as the Mahone of South Carolina, while Senator Vance also repudiates anv such ideas j is connection with himself. Men of character and patriotism take no stock in these attempted raids on the State treasury. The National Republican has be^gun the issue of a weekly edition, and "specimen copies have been widely circulated through the South. As it contains the hearty endorsement of Malione and such specimens of Southern Iladicalism as Hanck and Petribone and Milton Urner, it need not expect much support in these latitudes. The people of Edgefield are not t>?aknl fi\i? fkft thfi Jiiuuruuuc as xwuivi ?.? * wv I'xodasters. The Edgefield Monitor takes a cheerful view of the situation, saying that nobody is hart, and that the county is now reliably Democratic. The News asd Herald has already expressed this opinion, and is glad to be indorsed by a paper published in the section of country directly interested. From time immemorial almost, the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Washington has had the appointment of committees. The recent performance of Speaker Keifer, in that I line, was so scandalous that a rule has; been proposed to allow committees! hereafter to be elected by the House instead of being appointed. It may! j?ass, in which case Speaker Joseph Warren Keifer will feel microscopic. Col. Marccllus Eugenius Thornton, j who rendered himself famous a few vears ago by the gastromic feat of gobbling thirty quails in thirty days, is - now the self-constituted Mahone of Oeorgia, hiving resigned a clerkship in Washington to mount the editorial tripod in his native State. Several Richmonds are in the field, but tl>e old Jine Democracy is not a bit alarmed. J>oreheads and Radicals constitute the s membership of the new party, pnd I<reonna knows how to deal with them. The American mottos are "Time is Honey", and "Go at Full Speed". Appreciating this Mr. Jacob Lorillard proposes to establish a line of swift : passenger steamers bet ween Montcuke, Long Island, and Miiford, Wales. No freight will be taken, the steamers will be supplied with apparatus for pro ?llin<r them bv means of an immense WV. r- ^ : jet of wafer in" case the propeller breaks, while the boilers are to be encased in four water-tight compartments. "Ie believes the trip will be ji',i jnu^iOuj -?Uura luigCancfe: 1 i'-*-/*' The registration bill has passed the I>emocralic caucus by a two-thirds vote and it wiil now become a law. Considerable debate was made over the [ :- . proposition to have a smaller number Iot boxes, and finally the House adopted an amendment providing for six? -wofor Congress and electors, and g* ' four for ^?ate and county officers. Mr. Hemphil: made a very sensible speech. >;- The present system of one box was ||| made by the Radicals to facilitate ^ stuffing, and the Legislature now pro?; ' "poses ouly to go back to the old law as it existed before the war, and which provided different boxes tor different || officers. The Barnwell People having nomi? Bated Hon. B. F. Perry for Governor, C- 4hat old Roinan says lie has retired jp from politics, and never expects to - bold an office again under the State -or Federal government. He still takes Ife: - -great interest in politics, and thinks Hpr- "vrell of the political outlook for South Carolina in the next election. "There is too much virtue, intelligence and patriotism in the people to abandon the Democratic party on account of h- any objectionable act of our Legislah: tare, Their own interest and the - honor of the State will forbid it." H "*Tbese are brave words and true. Jg During Grant's second administration, Robeson, of New Jersey, was Secretary of the Navy, and it is gen-, erally believed that he either stole himself, or allowed to be stolen, severa! millions of dollars, besides a gener& _ / al sinking of fifty millions or more on rotten hulks; For this he narrowly * e=caped the perils of an impeachment trial at the hands of a. Democratic 1 I (,;</n<rres>. Yet he comes up smiling I now as the leader of the House oi k . Representatives,. on the Republican E ;s:de. He is second on the naval comBfT: inirtecaiid chairman of tbe sub-comi:sittee on the new navy. Then he is second ontlve appropriation committee and chairman of the sub-committee V on naval appropriations, and finally he is chairman of the committee on exHl penditores in the navy department, "whose business it is to credit the di>ap onm?a?\v?of?ai?e< mo/lo 1; THu'UUitiifcs?

Since then the various y stock laws have further abridged ine i1 right, until by the most recent Act it j < has ceased to exist. The Governor's ; suggestion is that this common of pas- i turage be restored. By it, so long as i the land owner has no use for his land < it is subjected to pasturage, but when- i ever he begins to improve it, cattle and other stock must be kept off the improved pasture. Some weeks ago the point was raised that this common of pasture still exists and that the legislation should not abridge it, but the Legislature at the time took no notice of it. A for- , mal message from the Executive will ! provoke a lively discussion which will be watched with interest. While the scheme may work well in those counties Jin which lie immense marshes or large forests, we confess we are at a loss to see at a glance how it is feasible in more thickly settled portions of the State wheu field and forest alternate in quick succession. Still, Governor Hagood is a inan of very sound judgment, and has evidently put much thought upon this vexed problem, and we should be glad to have his views upon the details. He is evidently convinced ti^t a satisfactory compromise can be made in the manner proposed. "The Kidnlght Sun." After a sojourn of five years to the Artie Circle in Sweden and Norway, j Paul De Chaillu, the famous traveler, j has just published a book. ''The Land I of the Midnight Sun," simultaneously J in America, England, Germany, Smodon Denmark, an in- ! U 1 dliKs\, j %?..w ? f cident unparalelled in the history of book publication. He gives a most interesting picture of life in the Scandinavian Peninsula, of that quarter of the world which is directly on the road to nowhere, and whose people arc quaint and simple to the last degree. In that happy clime the buyer makes I out his owu bills, jails stand unoccupi- j j ed for incredible periods, and jurymen j are elected by ballot. Hospitality is i the crowning virtue, and this means ! unstinted offers of food and drink. To avoid wounding the feelings of the householders where he visited, he ate on one occasion thirty times in two davs and drank thirty-four cups of I coffee. Before dinner a lunch, or j J sicorgas, is brought on, the substan! tial quality of which is seen by the following bill of fare found on one sworgas table?reiudeer meat, smoked salmon, raw salmon, parched eggs, hard boiled eggs, caviari, sausage, anchovy, smoked goose breast, cucumber, raw salt herring, several kinds of cheese, | as many of bread, and a salad comi pounded of pickled herring, boiled meat, potatoes, eggs, beets and onions, j besides three kinds of liquors?all as an appetizer for the dinner to come. The people are peculiarly honest, and scrupulously regular in the attend! ance upon church,' congregations in I the rural districts even numbering ! often between three and five thousand j members. The whole population arc i tbrifrv and hard-working, and dairyi fingers. Thev do work that would I ? I j stagger many men in our climes, in j j driving their cows long distances to ; I pasture, and in preparing food to j j maintain them during the rigors of the j j long winter. Besides giving a picture i of the people, Mr. De Chaillu has de| voted ranch space to the geography, j the geology and the history of that I eo,crv his work is an inex- i IOVVUVH^ VV fc??v?w ..... ? ? hanstible mine of pleasure and iuforj mation. After reading his pages one ! can imagine that this should be the I home of native song and music; and ; are prepared to welcome such bright stars as Jenny Lind, Ole Bull ami the no less famed Christine Xillson. If De Chaillu be not the Columbus of Scandinavia he at least can lay claim to the title of its Amcricns Vespucius, for by his writings he has for the tirst time laid bare the secrets of the apparently rugged but truly warm-hearted Land of the Midnight Sun. The Columbia Water Power. It is gratifying to see that the Coivuvnla aya ?< lofst twmnii!l)(r 1UIUU1U |A.'\'p?V ai v ?fc mwv discover the proper course to pursue [ in regard to the water power at their j doors. Other plans have been defective, not only from the want of money 10 carry them out, bnt because by them the State was to reap scarcely any profit from the development of her magnificent property. Even the twelve or! fifteen hundred horse-power reserved j to her by the Thompson-Nagle bill was j by no means an adequate compensa- j tion. "VVe have for some time believed j that the State shouid develope the j vvater power herself, and retain pos- j session of it, leasing it out to rnanu- j factum's at a fixed sum per aunuru. j Several years ago the City of Augusta, i i Georgia, built a canal and- developed ( j her water power, which, she rents to! i the different factories along the line. ] ! These factories have rapidly muliipli- j I ed. In the pa.st year at least two mil! lions of dollars have been invested in | j factories, and the city derives a hand- i i some revenue directly, as well as inci| dental benefits through increased val-. | nes of taxable property. i For a Siaic ro enter into business is j bad economv, but the State can and j f should develope her water power and lease it out. In a short time the reve| nues would largely assist in reducing j taxation, and the day might come when phosphate royalties, penitentiary j profits and water rents might sufice to ; j run the entire government. Illinois j ! owns a railroad, which not only runs j the government but pays a surplus. i Vtw.UUl uenves> a ivtvauv uuui j i.iii| road lease, and South Carolina can i learn from them. The long-term conj victs can be employed in erecting a ; : dam across the river, and in cleaning i 7 out the canal sufficiently to run say | one factory. When capital desires to I j erect another factory, the canal can be ! enlarged, and thus, alnio?t iinpercepMi bly, the wafer power can be developed j ' uuiil it brings annual rentals of at least ! fifty thousand dollars a year. Should ' this experiment succeed, other water , ! powers might be developed in different: ! sections. j "We are opposed to the free gift of j I water powers by tiie Mate. J. hey may j be granted ont on liberal term?, but: the State should always reserve some liing to herself, so that ultimately she j nay derive direct benefits from her . lataral resources. In this way also 1 *! ?!-J ?!.?* -r ;ail DC 5UUCU lilt; CI V mat amoioaiww vhen any particular section or cor>oration receives franchises.

It is said that a half million dollar factory will be erected if the State agrees to devclope and rent >ut the canal. This is the most tangible scheme that has yet been broached. THE y EG BO EXODUS. FIswi of Our BeprrtentatWei in Con?r*sa? They Take a Favorable View of the Moremeat. Special to the Kews and Courier. "Washington, January 9.?In accordance with yonr telegraphic instructions 1 interviewed to-night each member of the South Carolina delegation, with the exception of Kcpresentative Richardson, who had not arrived in the city. The question asked was, "What, in your opinion, are the causes of the Edgefield Exodus, and what will be its effect7* senator hampton said: "I believe that the incentives to the migration were chiefly the failure of the crops, the glowing "promises of Western well-doing held out to the nc ~ ~ *1?a ttfa/it- t.ott? groes, nie passage i?i mc ciu^a x^v., and political restlessness. My information, however, indicates that the movement has not been as large as has been stated, and that a considerable proportion of the emigran ts have returned to their homes. A similar ? movement threatened some of the best counties of Alabama last year, but sub- i sided before there was a great drain of j population. As to the effect of the j Exodus, I anticipate no serious consc-j quences to the State. The places of ! those gone can be filled from other sec- j tions of the State, and even should the emigration increase the inconvenience would be in a great, measure temporary. The laborerers who remain will | be more readily controlled, will prove \ the move efficient and make more ;non? t f,M. _ I UV. X IIW icaovu iv/i Mj/|/? 7 save of temporary inconvenience to the planting interests immediately adjacent to the depopulated section." SENATOR BUTLER was fonnd very busy and could only say that the Exodus was due to three ! leading causes: First, bad crops; sec- j ond, the influence of sensational j preachers among1 the negroes, and I third, the efforts of Western railroads j to obtain settlers along their lines, ! He thought that in the end the State would be much benefited by the movement for reasons which he would give me as soon as he had time to state them. He did not credit the theory that ill treatment of the negroes by the whites was any factor in the question. REPRESENTATIVE AIKKN had long been of the opinion that the statu wnnlH ho nermanentlv benefited by the wholesale departure of the negroes. This inoremeiit would prove transitory and resultless, but it would be better were it otherwise, lie considered that the gaps left by the negroes would be readily filled by by white immigrants who would furnish a safe and efficient class of laborers, and that such an exchange of citizens would be of infinite benefit to South Carolina. The assurance of negro competition kept- white labor away and prevented better methods of sigriculture. There might be a temporary lack of labor, but the ineonvenience would not prove pennanen'. REPRESENTATIVE DIBBLE said: "It w ill be the best lesson for the colored man that he can learn, for he will find out that the white people among whom he has lived and labored for years are better friends than the strangers he will meet abroad. To hcfiVi J.c'&r'tilore' sui'lreliant. The innate energy of the Caucasian will utilize the resources now dormant, and there will be less finning by proxy than at present while the colored man will acquire more independence of character and broader views of men and thing's. There is no danger of disaster to our resources nor that our fertile fields will become deserts, but some political and economic problems will be greatly simplified. There may be a few instances of individual suffering, but to the State on the one hand and the emigrating laborers on the other the ultimate results will be salutary." Neither Col. Aiken nor Mr. Dibble possessed personal knowledge of the causes of the flight. REPRESENTATIVE EVIS'S said: "I believe the result will be entirely good. Negro emigration is a solution of the problem with which South Carolina -'is confronted. . It would be most fortunate if the negroes could be dispersed throughout the country until they ceased to be a political power. The places they leave will be filled by white emigrants or by negroes from the up-country. As to this particular exodus I have no special knowledge, but in geueral such movements are due to rne cnumiKe belief of the negroes in an Eldorado somewhere on earth known to their preachers and offering milk and honey in exchange for simple idleness. I thiuk that the whole thing is a scheme to get laborers for the Georgia Pacific Iload.. and 1 doubt if they get beyond its proposed liue." REPRESENTATIVE TILLMAN said: "The Western railroads are behind it all. They want cheap labor to build some of them and to settle their lands donated to them by the government. They will sell the negroes land on long time, but they will not allow them to eventually own it. The improvements will be made and then some year a high price will be demanded which the settler cannot pay. The railroad eflorts constitute the prime cause of the exodus. Beyond them are the short crops and, perhaps, the eonfcfttmiiiil fhunor fihnnt flip ffinrP law. These two latter facts prepared j tlie negro to listen to the lies and illu-: sive promises of the railroad men. The ; roads bought tip the negro preachers, j tho Joshuas of their race, and thus i effected their purpose. The Geoigia j Pacific will get most of the laborers,! but many of them will go to Kansas or ; Arkansas. The fouce law and the j crop failure would not have moved i them but for the inducements offered i bv the V>*estern roads. I met and talked w ith a good many at Augusta and Atlanta during the height of the exodus, and am satisfied from personal observation that the number departing has been exaggerated: besides many j are returning. The eiTect oa Use State will be admirable. A f-w while land-j t."W ;ers wiii suiter temporarily. inv. \ not many nor for lonir.

It? ?w Application. {Letter to the Atlanta Constitution.] On the Train, January 1.?Suppose 0 we start the new year with a romance? i Ali ritfht, here goes?The Romance of v Cotton Seed! f In the lavish and careless days of: j slavery cotton was raised for its lint i alone. This was swept off the snowy t surface of the field and the rest was 6 wasted. Under the pressure of poverty 2 the South learned that it: was just as t foolish to raise sheep for the fleece as j ?-- ?- If..* to raise a couon siaiK iui uzjl, ?uu mm. c the heavy seed from winch the fibre c flowered was just as valuable as the mutton from which the wool grew. The story of the glow but sure way in which the despised 6eed grew into appreciation is an interesting one, involving enormous figures and illustrating the progress that is being made in the South. MAKING CRUDE OIL FROM SEED. A year or two ago X wrote a letter concerning certain mills that had been established for the purpose of pressing the oil out of cotton see^. The process was then a roturh one, aud the oil pro duced of inferior grade., The bulk of seed from which the oil had been taken was made into cakes and sold for stock j food or fertilizer. There were then ( about sixteen seed oil mills in the , South. Cotton seed was worth six dollars a ton, and the oil thirty cents j a gallon. i There are now sixtv-seven seed oil < mills, and the price of cotton seed has ] doubled, being now about twelvo dol- ) lars atin. This increase of six dollars per ton for cotton seed adds about three < dollars to every bale of cotton raised * by farmers who sell their seed, as each < bale represents a half ton of seed. The : mills take thirtv-fire gallons of oil from j j every ton and sell it at forty cents a j , gallon. They thus take fourteen dol- ] lars of wealth from each ton of seed, j : and the dry bulk left is better food or fertilizer than it was before the oil was taken out. The sixty-seven mills work- ; ...i 1 vfi nnn t/mc loot- vonr. stri*)nin<?" t ^11 U \J lUV^VVV IViiO J >... , ~ L- J ^ ont $2,500,000 worth of oil that had previously been wasted, and paying , the fanners nearly $1,000,000 more for the seed than the same seed would have brought three years ago. This business is increasing very rapidly, new mills being built every year. KKFININ'G THE CRUDE OIL. But another step has been taken in the handling of sotton, and mills have been established for the purpose of re-; fining cotton seed oil, and thus increas- : itig its value. Oil that has been refined is worth from Go cents to ?1 a gallon, while crude oil is worth only 50, so that the refining process adds about 50 per cent, and makes the oiil of one ton of seed worth about $22, or one-fourth | the value of the cotton that the seed produced. There are mne of these refineries ! now in operation. One of them, in ; Montgomery, refines 100 barrels or i 5,000 gallons a day, thus adding $'L250 I ? ~valno nf 1-IIA nvi'^nct C> L'l \ uav IV HIV T?iuv V* I'ttv j>/< , | it handles. The other mills average | perhaps 50 barrels a day each, making j | 500 barrels a day for the total, thus ; creating a value of over $6,000 every twenty-four hours and adding it to a heretofore despised product. This business is increasing rapidly. The profits are large, and next year will see the refining capacity doubled perhaps. The mill now running sell all they can make, and could sell ten times as much. England and France would take the product of 100 rctineries at present prices. Indeed, most of the mills se?l their yearly product j by contract. A late suit developed | that an English company had deposited i $30,000 in Memphis as a bonus to secure the output of one oil refinery for urn; scum^h. A SUBSTITUTE FOR LARD. In the meantime the refiners are | creating a new market and a better de inand for their oil. It is used largely | i as an illuminating oil, being the best i mifi irrtMMmfi JiVaffU'ri ' i pronounced by painters preferable - to : linseed it? elf. It is used almost entire! iy lor packing fisJi and especially sar} (lines in America. And it is used as a substitute for lard in cooking. It is ; made into what is called cotton butter, j and in this shape is rapidly supplant- I ing lard. Two pieces of steak, tried ; one with oil and the other with lard j cannot be told apart. For bread it is j a perfect substitute for lard, and for ! butter-breads it is much be-tier. In j egg-bread it fills the place of eggs. In j fact, in the kitchen it is cleanlier, health- j ier and better than lard, if tlse testi-1 mony of housekeepers can be taken. | It is much cheaper. A pound of cotton butter will do the cooking of a pound and a half of lard, and costs only thirteen cents, while lard is worth sixteen to twenty cents. When a pan of steak has been cooked with oil, the oil not absorbed in the steak can be poured back into the can and used again, being just as clear and pure as before it was put over the fire. If it was used entirely in the place of lard, we should have to write the epitaph "Died of a Frying' Pan" over departed Southern vigor, less frequently than before. This oil has been tried in making the lightest and best of cake, and found incomparable. I asked Mr. .7. K. Boston, who is interested ed in the sale of cotton butter, why it was, it being half as costly, quite as g;>od, and cleanlier than lard, it did not supplant it at once and entirely. "Simply because there is a prejudice against changing a custom which our i fathers and mothers used. It is just the same prejudice that caused people to carry a pumpkin at one end of a stick and balance it with a rock at the other for years and years before they i discovered that they could put one I pumpkin against another. However, I it 5?j hoinor ?nfrnrlwec(\ rrni'p runidlv ' than we had dared to hope." "Ifyon can sell all you refine," I asked Mr. Boston the other day. "to i Europe, why do you labor to e>--'ute a demand in America?" "Simply because if we open a new ! market we make a liivger demand and i better prices. We have just shipped 1,000 barrels from the Montgomery refinery at Go cents a gailou. -At 13 cents a pound for cotton butter, every gallon of oil will yield 81. For many reasons we prefer a home market, and then we believe we do a good tiling in substituting this perfectly clean, pure vegetable oil for lard in the kitchens of our homes. As for the demand, I tell you that if everv ton of cotton seed in the South was pressed next year I could seii tiic entire oil output before the loth of Xovember. I coaid actually have it sold before it was made." AX KXORMOCS WASTAGE. "Now let me show what a wastage j there is. The cotton crop of ia^t year j produced over 3,000,000 tons of seed? i it averaging about haif a ton of seed to j every baie of cotton. Of tiiis amount j only 180,000 tons, or about one-six- | trenth, was worked up. With tlie j other 2,800.000 there was buried and wasted 1/8.' >00.0!io gallons of oil, worth : in its crude state (40 cents) s;V.).200,Oo<', or in :';ts refined stale (Go cents) $G2,700,000. 1 speak advisedly when I say wasted, for it was literally wasted. The vast j amount of ssod uot put through the i mill- was usisl for fecvl for stock or j. fertilizers. Uut it is demonstrable that j the seed is better for either food or fertilizers after the oil has been taken out than before. The oil makes it too : -f'.vi* 4*?vswl .iiwl l^nfowlc iti! i sition ami assimilation as a fertilizer. A ton of the meal. tSic bulk lefr after 1 the oil is taken out, is Nvorili ?1$. or ; nearly twice as much a< a ton of seed.:; Indeed. Mr. Boston tells me he exchanges on his farm two tons of seed ;: for one ton of men!. The hull of the seed is used for fuel at the mills, and j! the ashes from these hulls is worth ?2-3 ;: a ton for teri ilizin^ n>es. ! i If the whole crop of cotton seed was worked through the oil mills, there- < fore, it would add over $60,000,000 to ; i the cot ton crop and not deprive the!! land of one pound of fertilizer or the [; iriiiitririiiiiiirnTiiin.ii imHBHi I .Ti I " r I attle and sheep of one ponnd of food, i iideed, it would only assist tbe land a nd the stock in digesting the food c nd make it more agreeable to them, c nd yet we work up only one-sixteenth ^ f the seed. ? One difficulty, of course, is the lack r f capital with whicb to ouiia nuns, i .'his is being rapidly eliminated. Each i ear sees; new mills added, and the t uture will show even brisker growth, hear that Mr. H. I. Kimball is going o establish a refinery in Atlanta, and hat the former owner of Catoosa ] prings will establish one in Dalton. \To legitimate enterprise in the South leed ever lack for capital again. Another difficulty, and quite a serious me, is that the mills cannot buy ] mough seed to keop them busy the j ear through. The farmers having : >een accustomed for years to throw ; heir seed back on the ground or waste 1 t altogether, still pursue that plan. Df course mills established in new ocalitics will be supplied from new erritory. Even old mills find it easier 0 buy seed every year. The rise in he price tempts new farmers to sell, md in a short time the mills will get dl the seed they want. Then they will un twelve months in the year instead >f six months as at present, and their capacity will be practically doubled. A STEP STILL FURTHER FORWARD. Now, we have seen how, in the past lew years, we have taken from a ton of jotton seed 35 gallons of oil, hitherto wasted, worth first 30 and then 40 cents 1 gallon; and we have seen under this tVn nnpli vnlnn nf u tnil nf Mf [JU'VCJO till/ UIOU TChJUW v* W vv.. w. ion seed rise from ?6 to $12. We have seen, further, a system of refining established by which this crude oil. selling at 40 cents a gallon, has been made worth Go cents to $1 a gallon. But we should not stop even here. The American (jrocer shows that >alad oil and olive oil is selling in New York from ?2.50 to $4 a gallon. There is not the sligh e^t doubt that this is am-cotton seed ofl, refined up to the highest point and sold in fancy bottles at fancy prices. Analysis shows this? the exports and imports show it?and Americans who have been to Europe and Europeans who come here affirm it. Indeed, since the excellent qualities of the sotton seed oil have been demonstrated, it is not denied by those who sell it that the finer salad oils owe their origin to this humble and despised seed. Now, the man who sells this oil at $1 a gallon gets more for the oil than the lint from the same seed gives the farmer?for (allowing 20 per cent, for loss in refining) the oii would be worth %,A" WKSIA ftfA I C J- i - fcJUl IUII, ? JJ11C l/V? V UUIW Ul Wltvn I which came from the same ton of seed w.mld not bring over S90. It" the refiner in Marseilles or Antwerp can afford to send over here for this crude oil, pay its way across the ocean twice and its duty at New York and still jret rich on it, how much better could he do by establishing his refinery in the Southern States. And this is what it will coine to. Had the cotton seed been grown in New England, every village would now have its refinery, and would have re-established in the making of "pure olive oil" a cute industry that died with the decadence of wooden nutmegs, and languished when the demand for flannelsausage was diminished. There i? not in the whole range of nature, a more j perfect economy than is furnished in the handling of cotton seed. It. comes; to the mill bursting with an oil the q uality of which is incomparable and the demand for which is exhaust less. The bulk of the seed becomes more valuable as an article of commerce and more useful for its material purpose after this wealth of oil has been pressed out. In its hulls it furnishes the fuel for the machinery used to crush the balsam from its body?canies even intogits ashes all the valuable properlies of its hulls. Considering these things, and the contempt in which this precious seed has been held, isn't there a'tinge of romance in its development, its beneficent adjustments and its perfect vindication.

Both of us were clerks at New Orleans, in merchants' houses; but while he reported sermons for the Dctt.a I wrote poetry for it: and, Itoheraian-like, we lmd very little money, but infinite expectation. Many a time we feasted ou an ovster pie of small dimensious, containing but a single bivalve, for breakfast; while our dinner consisted of the ten cent lunch that the saloons ottered along with a drink. I remember that we had prodigious appetites in those davs, but they were not always appeased. My chum was correspondent of the New York Herald and other papers. This brought him an income beyond the shop: and when remittances arrived at rtflrl inf-ovvnls. tvp rpcfilpri om-splvfis ? " "" T recklessly on the best that a first class restaurant afforded. Poor as we were, we became local celebrities, and, partthrough that and partly because of some powerful social influences, we went into the best society, and "tliev knew us at the opera," when 2s"ew Orleans was in its glory. There were sad surroundings, too, but upon the most memorable of them pivoted our future careers. The event that fixed Kiordan at Charleston-will never cease to be bond of union to us. the more so as increasing time brings tenderest recollections of those "iwenty golden years ago/' with a never-to-be-ibrgotten grave between.

How they Passed Off in Chester and Bock Hill?Gnano and Whiskey. From the Chester Bulletin. An election for Intendant and four Wardens for the town of Chester, took place last Monday, the polls opening \ at nine and closing at 5 p. in. The Stonewall fire engine house was used as a polling plaee, and Messrs. J. J. Gibson, W. M. Corkill and M. H. Hunter officiated a9 managers. The following ticket, which in common parlance is "wet", was elected without opposition by the following vote: For Intendant?Jno. L. Chambers, 200; for wardens?H. M. Ross 201; W. H. Nance 201; John Mclver 201; I. J. McNinch 200. The total number of votes cast was 201, of which 101 were white and 100 colored. The gentlemen elected, with the exception of Mr. McNinch who is in stead of Capt. Jno. L. Yongue, compose the present town council. At night the colored brass band serenaded each of the successful electors. [From Vie Rock Hill Herald.] The contest over the election of town - nr* ' "? +l\^v A/bA?) C1AM omcers 1USI, Jiuuuav ?a; iut v/iwivi. of more excitement than Iiock Hill has known in some years. The personnel of the ticket was not the cause of the contention, however. The issue was the question whether fertilizers should be allowed to be stored in the business portion of the town, or required to be confined in warehouses to be built beyond the incorporate limits. The fight over this question was warmly contest*ed and during the day much ill feeling was engendered. On several occasions blows were passed by enraged persons, but in each of these unfortunate affairs the combatants were taken in hand by their friends, thus, probably, averting serious trouble. The guano dealers regarded rlie agitation of the new question as wholly unwarranted, needless and incapable of affording any benpnts to the town. They also regarded s^ich a movement as prejudicial to our commercial interests, subvertivc of the mercantile rights of the people, and calculated to injure business very materially in the extra costs which a removal of fertilizers beyond the confines of tn\vn the predion of warehouses, and the employment of warehouse clerks would necessarily impose. With these patent facts on their side of the question, they naturally felt very much Interested in the defeat of the movement and unhesitatingly employed every fair means to accomplish that e<ni. The anti-guano advocates, on the other hand, declared that the storage o?_/tertilizers in the centre of town witifa nuisance and should not be permitted. The light which thev made v as; a hard one and resulted in the clection'of their ticket.

Some days ngo the Associated Press told of the kidnapping of a l'onr-yeaiVold ciiiid named Maggie Pickett, froifc "c'o'ft:iCy Pen iTsy Iva'nia, by" a man'' aiTSl woman, supposed to be John Burns and wife. On Tuesday evening the child was at the Union Depot, in Kansas City, in charge of her uncles, John and Enoch Davis, and the story of her recovery reads 1 ke a r mance. the two young men having followed her over 1,3'JO miles, and at a point only a few miles distant from the Indian Territory lines she was overtaken and released from the clutches of her kidnappers, i The child, who is a beautiful little arirl. not quite lour years old, was born and raised at Latrobef and Iter beauty -was known from one end of the town to the other, being of that order which made people stop in the streets and ask who she was. It is supposed that this was the cause of tiie abduction, her kidnappers hoping that a large reward would be offered for her return?not, however, by parents, who were poor, 1ml by the city or State. The child was stolen 011 the afternoon of Friday, December 8th, by a man thought to i>e John Burns, a coal miner and his credited wife. Burns made his way to this city, and on Friday took the train to Wichta. The following night found the two uncles bound for the same point, only thirtysix bchfrii t.he_ stolen._child,_ and...the chase became" most exciting. At Wichta it was found that the parties had gone to Arkansas City, and when the pursuers reached Unit' point on Sunday last the discovery was made that Burnes had hired a pair of horses with a driver, and was making for Indian Territory. The Davis boys did the same thing, and after a liard drive the first carriage was overtaken, and the child taken from her abductor?. The little one, when she saw her uncles held out her hands and begged to he take:) from "this bad, nasty woman", and cried for her nnnnma. As the rescuers were unarmed, the abductors escaped.
