We had already published an account of the death of Dr. J. M.Glenn before getting a report from our Jenkinsrille correspondent, but not quite a? full in detail. lie says, that Dr. Glenn died of ffrippe after an illness of about two weeks, and was eighty-two year* of age. VTe were informed that he was ! eighty-three years old. Dr. Glenn j was a consistent member of Little j River Baptist Church. Dr. rionH Jeter, of Union Conntr. ! lias located here and has been kept busy all the time. Nearly every family in this section has been prostrated with the grippe, but it proved fatal only to the ajed. Our people ar* still on the m?ve. I hear of several families who will leave j for the Newberry factory soon, "r." Some Body Is Going to Loose a >'?gro by this Foolishness. The above remark is what a ne^ro oace said in Kentucky. lis master was a regular hard sheil Baptist, and after each sale day all new purchases had t? be immersed regardless of the condition of the weather. The master had bought about six or eight and had to break the ice to get a hele to put them into the water. One burley fellow was so heary that he slipped back and it was with great difficulty that they got him out alive. And as he came out snorting and blowing, iu a tone of complete disgust, | said, "sonae white man gwine to loose a I uigger at this here blame foolishness." J Thi# remark applies to the negroes who jump on the trains at the depot. Silas White, colored, grabbed tk? iron ladder on the freight train with his left hand on Monday and our local saw him swing reund and the end of the frame of a car punched him in the back. Had his hold broken, same body would have lost a negro. SMOKIXG UNDER DIFFICULTIES. Mr. Thomas Spurrier, of the Longtown section, informed us of a very narrow escape a family had while their house was burning. Last week Mr. Jno. Reynolds, who iives near Mr. Spurrier, awoke about midnight aud found that his dwelling was on flr?. His only way of escape was c ut ff by the fire, and he had to cut out some logs and and get hi? family out through the opening. Mr. Reynolds wai crawling out between the Jogs when some of his neighbors reached the place. He wa? in his night clothes and was smoking his pipe when they saw him coming out. He was slighty burnt, bat is better. Had his axe been out doors his family might hare been burned to death. He was rery much excited and did not eren know that he was smoking until told of it. He must hare got burnt while trying to light hit pipe. BXW1XEOF THETDES OF 1CAXCH. The Allianceiuen of the State say that they will hare a March convention, and tbat the people will rule it. They hare been going ?ut throngh the State and hare been visiting the Alliances all about f?r some time. Mr. Bowde*, iu apeakiogef his Waihington trip, ears that he went on buiiness and wa? not in any canlerence. lie *nys: I interviawed the delegation from this State?all of them?and 1 am well satisfied that a March Convention will beheld as I suggested?called by the executive committee of the Farmers' Association?and the people will rule it. I don't believe that iho conference of th? bosse* in Washington will have cry much efl'-;ct on the notion of the peeple in Soutn Carolina. I will simply add ihat I think that it will pay better fer gubernatorial candidate hereafter to do their work at home instead of spending their time la electioneering with the ring at the national capital.

After all the legal bluster and the military parade, Corbett and Mitchell fought in Jacksonville at 2.28 o'clock p. m. ?n the 25th. Mitchell made a good showing at first, but was knocked out in three rounds. At the second round Corbett knocked Micheil down and tried to jump on him and struggled hard with the referee to gel loo*e before Mitchell could gain bis feet. But for the efforts of the referee he would hare lost ths fight #n a. foal. The gong sounded and time was called; Corbet seemed to hare lost bis head and acted like an enraged ball. In the tbirct round lie actea tne same way. After knocking Mitchell down and while bleod was pouring from his nose and month, Corbett's Mends bad to held him to keep him from breaking the rales. Corbett and Mitchell were both arrested after the light and gare bond in the sum of $5,000. The charge was "fighting by previeus appointment." Befoae the fight chief pelice of Jacksonville weighed the gloves and they did not weigh enough to be in violation of the city municipal laws, so he asgented to the fight. The ooarts of the State will, however, see if somebody doesn't pay lor the fan. TRIBUTE or JtESPECT.

HOW COTTON SEED OIL IS MADE For the benefit of dio-e who have never been in an oil miil we will .explain the process, feeling tiiat it would interest many of our readsrs in this county. The first thing in this business, as in all businesses in the South, commences with ? negro. As the seed lie in the warehouse in the condition ther an; when ginned, they are picked up i;i a shovel br a negro and thrown into a hoppar. From this hopper thev ure carried on a belt t? a revolving >i:ier mm! all sand and dirt is "sifted out.'' By means of a convejor, w lii ;h resemble a big augur, the >enl travel, ur"t? r being clcatied, to another belt which lut eup* riveted on it, and thin belt carries them up into the top of the Ivri'ding. There they arc put in the linter*, or what might bj called rc-ginnm<r machines. These machines take off althe lint left 011 the seed br an ordinary gin. This lint is carried to an ordinary cotton press and packed in balet*. After the sred arc rc-^i lined they drep down through a traujh into * huller. This machine cats thetn into km*ll particles. In tins condition they are kn*wn as hulls and meats. The next thing to be done is to separate the hulls from the meati; ?o they are taken from the huller 0:1 a belt to the upstairs again. There they pais through another revolring sifter or screen and the meats drop out while the hulls pass on te the end 01 the screen and fall out at the open end iito a screw conveyor, and this carries them, just like a big aagur carries the chips to the hull home. Here we part company with the hulls. The meats, however, go down stairs again and are crushed between : hearr iron rollers for the purpose of bruising the oil cells so that the minutes part will come in contact with the steam while cooking. After being crushed the seed arc again taken upstairs for the purpose of elevation only. From the upstairs they are dropped into the cooking vessal called i a heator, and then the proccss of cook- ] iug is carried on. When in the experience of the "cook" it is "done," it is lot out into a drawer and dropped from this drawer into the cake former. The cake former has a camel's hair j cloth or kelt on it. The meats are j put in the middle and the end3 lapped over them, then sufficient pressure is pat on them to form a temporary cake, which is lifted on a large iron shovel and plaoed in the press. The press is turned on and the oil is forced out through this camel's hair cloth and runs to a tank under the floor. After removing the pressure, the "cake," for we have parted company with the meats, is thrown on a table and the cloth stripped off. This cake is piled up to dry, ana wnen sumcienuy ury i? ground into cotton seed meal. The seed travel about 250 to 300 feet from firit to last and are not touched by hand after "cuffy" puts them in the iopper at the start. Uaarant?ed Cure.
