NEW USES FOR M1IZE. c
Indian Corn a More Valaale Plant tl;an a
Supposed. ^
Washington Star. ^
The demand for paper in the world s
is growing steadily. In order to sup
ply it many new vegetable materials 11
have been made to serve as stock, rags "
to-day furnishing only a minor frac- ?
tion of the raw stuff employed for the .
purpose. Among these substances 1
wood pulp stands first. A very im- 0
portant contribution is made also by
f xi a
the famous esparto grass 01 nonncrn
Africa and Soutlnvestern Europe. *
But the time is approaching when the
leaves of Indian corn will be utilized '
in this way to an enormous extent.
c
In Vienna the manufacture of paper
from maize is already conducted
on an extensive scale. ThaAUegemeinc
Zeitung, a scientific journal of *
importance, is printed on sheets of
this product, the yellowish tint of
which is restful to the eves. It has a
r
number of other advantages. Very
little sizing is required; it blenches ^
well and it is stronger than rag paper. Iv
No machinery is required for tearing 15
up the corn leaves. The latter are
merely soaked in hot water for a few
days, after which they are easily sep- *
arated into three parts?the large
veins and ribs, the material between ?
the ribs and a coarse paste.
The first are utilized for making
gunny sacks, cordage and certain kinds
of cloth ; the second furi^ehes mate.
rial for a peculiar sort of bread, de- (
_ scribed as having an agreeable flavor; 1
the third is employed for paper pulp. ^
All of these uses for maize are new ;
as is likewise the process of obtaining
a valuable oil from the corn. For
--V.., t
this last purpose the grain is crusiuu. .
and the germs, which contain the oil, 1
are separated by winnowing. The 1
germs are then subjected to hydraulic ^
pressure, yielding 15 per cent, of oil, ^
which is of a pale golden-yellow color
and has a pleasant taste and odor. It '
is employed in dressing wool and to
lubricate machinery. The yield is
sixteen pounds for every one hundred (
bushels of maize.
Maize oil is well adapted for illumi- 1
nating purposes, giving a bright, *
white flame. It is also good for heat- (
? ing, developing a high temperature in (
i Tn the West, where the
UUH11&1?. AM /
supply of coal is often prccarious,
corn cobs aro frequently used in J
stoves, three tons of them being reckoned
as equal to one ton of hard coal.
Sometimes, when there has been a
fuel famine, the whole ear has been \
employed. In France, the cobs, saturated
with resin and tar, are utilized
as fire lighters, fetching, when thus .
prepared, for $2.00 to $4.00 per thous- j
and, according to size. .
The husks are used for packing ,
oranges and cigars, as well as in stuff- f
ing pillows, mattresses and loungcsr. j
As stoppers for bottles also the cobs ^
are sometimes employed. Toasted x
cornmeal is utilized in some parts of
this country as a substitute for coffee.
Tim vifdd a lame amount of pot
ash. A mill shelling 500 bushels an ?
hour turns out 7,000 pounds of cobs j
every sixty minutes,' or 70,000 pounds rj
for each working day. The cobs are ^
consumed as fuel in the mills, and the c
refuse ashes are collected for the ex- E
traction of the potash. A factory of j
the above mentioned capacity will fur- t
nish as a by-product 535 pounds of ?
potash per diem. x
Science has devoted much attention t
to finding out where this most valua- e
ble of American farm products had its p
origin. An overwhelming weight of b
testimony goes to show that the earl- e
liest home of the maize was the high- g
lands of Central Mexico. All of the r
plants closely related to Indian corn k
are indigeneous to that part of the p
world. It is believed that the vegetable
originated in some circumscribed t
locality, above 4,500 feet elevation, 1
north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec r
and south of the twenty-second degree j,
of the north lattitude, near the an- t
cient seat of the Maya tribes. There u
is hardly a doubt that the Mayas were F
the first t<) cultivate maize and that '
they distributed it in every direction, j
From them the use of the cereal spread s
North and South. ?
It is considered probable that the ^
plant was known along the Rio Grande t
by 700 A. JL>. Three hundred years
later it had reached the coast of
Maine. In Peru the Incas used it before
the year 700. By^the time of Co- ^
lumbus it was found ever}'where. It ^
was one of the products of American 1
soil which the great navigator took 0
back with him to Spain and showed ?
to Queen Isabella. From Spain it t
soon spread over Europe, and in the j
sixteenth century grains of it were u
sold in Italian, Frcnch, German and J
English gardens. Before long it was
cultivated upon a larger scale upon j
the fields. It becamc widely known as a
'Turkish wheat," because the new e
7 I
world was confused in the popular j
inind with the East Indies, the trade j
with which was carried on by way of j
Tnrkev. t
The ancient Mexicans, to whom the J
development of the usefulness of In- *
dian corn is due, were a a highly civilized
people. They were skillful e
builders, made utensils of copper and v
t::i. worked gold and silver into orna- s
r.:( nts, had an elaborate religious sys- *
tt in, preserved a large literature on f
parchment of the maguey plant, kept s
.v .
alendar and understood the art of agiculture,
raising beans, pepper, gourds (
nd manv other fruits of tillage.
.'heir country was so densely populaed
that floating gardens were conducted,
upon which all products of
he soil known to them, particularly
aaizc and beans, were sown. There
;ardcns were constructed with logs
iverlaid with earth. They have been
lescribed by historians as "fairy
slets of flowers overshadowed by trees
if considerable size." Even to this
lay such floating islands are built and
nchored in Mexican lakes for pur>oses
of pleasure.
The ruins of great irrigation works

contained corn, either in the
;ar or the grain. The bodies of these
>eople were buried in a squatting portion.
with the knees drawn up bcicath
the chin, and were rolled and
ied in mats. Heads of corn and cop>er
agricultural implements were iniluded
in the rolling. With the
lorpse were usually placed a water
'essel and a pot with grains of maize
Vll along the coast of Peru for 1,200
nilcs are scattered thousands of such
jrehistoric tombs. Darwin unearthed
iome ears of corn on the seashore, in
i stratum which had evidently been
aised by geologic action from nearer
,he sea level, and to them he assigned
i great <f 111/A4 uit) .
In the houses of the ancient cliff
Iwellers, in southwest Colorado and
lorthern New Mexico, stalks, husks,
;assels, cobs and kernels of corn are
'ound. That some of this material is
is old as the buildings is proved by
,he fact that the stalks were used in
he construction of the floors, being
mbedded in the abode. The cobs
vere ajso utilized to fill up chinks in
;he walls. They were about three
,'eet long. These habitations have
jeen deserted for at least five hundred
rears. Further south is the land of
1 ? A.
ihe living cim-aweners, m wc uicua
tfadre, between the Mexican States
)f Chihuahua and Senora. There reside,
on cliffs or in caves, savages
,vho worship the sun and plant a Utile
maize on the steep hill sides with)ut

lo not till the soil at all.
During the long winter that followed

1620, they subsisted in large measure

Like other vegetables of the garden
ind field, Indian corn has been much
wproved and altered by cultivation.
Dhe form in which it now appears
rould soon vanish save for the ageny
of man. To preserve it the kernels
niict. tip sown, for the latter are too
arge to be carried by the winds, and
he sheathing husks prevent animals
rom getting at the grain and distribLting
it. The provision made by naure
for the reproduction of maize is
ven unusually ample, the number of
?ollen grains furnished by each plant
ieing about 18,000,000. Of course,
ach kernel must be fertilized by a
rain of pollen in order that it may
ipen. Avowing two ears of 1,000
firnels to each nlant. there are 9,000
lollen grains for every kernel.
A kernel of corn is a wonderful
hing in its way. It is a box of starch,
ts outer coat being of *a woody mateial
and very hard, for the protection
f the germ in the middle. The latter
s surrounded by grains of starch most
ieautifully packed, their arrangement
inder the microscope having an ap earance
resembling a crystalline
tructure. They are the baby food of
he future plant, designed to furnish
t with nourishment in the earliest
tage of its growth. The so-called
;erm is itself merely an oily and highy
nutritious envelope for the actual
nicroscopic germ of life which it conains.

IT IS TIME TO CALL A HALT, ! I
; a
South Carolina Politics Tend to Anarchy J
and Bloodshed. r
t
Columbia, S. C., January 7.?Nothing t
could be more interesting than to note
tho fluctuations of the poliiical pulse in c
South Carolina. Tho patient, the Demo- a
oral is nnrtv. is taeffinnine: to cret nervous 1
and fidgety. She does not know how i
serious her ailment is going to be, and ^
what is more, what a combination of j.
troubles are liable to show themselves, a
In the meanwhile she and her friends, j
realize that a long siege is ahead, and very *
naturally are worried, not as to the ulti- i
mate result, but the condition of the j
patient during the summer season. t
Leaving all medical jurisprudence to t
one side, and looking at the situation in a c
plain every-day way, one cannot but
realize that the political prospects in this i
State are anything but pleasant. They t
may be encouraging for individual ambi- j
tions or factional victories, but to the un- {
interested Democrat there are troublous <
and stormy time? ahead. There is no
use to say, "Oh, that is only newspaper
talk," or "Those are the views of an
alarmist." It is not so. Anyone who
has gone from county to county, through
two campaigns, and who keeps his ears
open and reaus ariguc me po'iucai move- i
ments of the day, must necessarily con- <
elude that unless somebody calls a halt, I
unless liberality is shown, there is a
political tempest ahead. Men are going <
into the campaign this year with the
expressed intention of allowing no i
abusive or insulting language towards i
themselves.
The political actions of the majority for I
the past two years have not been directed
towards healing the breach. That would
be poor politics in the eyes of the ortho- <
dox Reformer. The lines must, they i
think, be sharply drawn; their political i
success depends upon the life ol the |
prejudice now existing. The "country I
sentiment" must be rekindled. Call it <
Alliance sentiment if you please; any i
name will suit; but certain leaders and
their men realize that the momeut the <
political passions are allowed to smoulder
they are without hopo. More liberal ;
miDUttU UIIU t'UUsci rauTDuii.u, i. ?>.?.
of what faction, will be given the reins.
There is a general belief that the resolutions
adopted at Laurens outline the ,
present policy of the Irby wing ef the Reform
Movement. That sufficient pressure
will be brought to force a change in i
the programme is possible. The clause i
that "none but Reformers will participate i
in the election of delegates to the July
State Convention" has already provoked
c msiderable comment and dissatisfaction.
Said ? S ato ohiuur tu .;?o last nijjht: "We i
have nothing but Democratic clubs in
this State. The minority has come in
with us, joined our ranks as members of
our clubs and submitted to defeat. "We
cannot now throw them overboard. I
am opposed to a July Convention, such
as is proposed, and will use every influence
I have to defeat its purposes. There
is now no need for such a Convention.
There was, I believe, a necessity for a
March Convention. We then had a platiorm
to adopt and principles to announce; i
we cannot consistently hold a factional
Convention to nominate or suggest any i
candidate. The whole thing is wrong."
If the author of this sentiment were
known it would occasion no little surDrise.
especially as he is totally disinter
ested.
Senator Irby and others not long ago
werd enthusiastically in tavor of a March
convention at which to settle the whole
trouble and effectually crush the Gubernatorial
ambitions of certain of the candidates.
For some reason the leaders were
afraid of this. It may have been that a
combination of Anti-John Gary Evans
influence brought thisabout. In a word,
if a convention were held within the next
few weeks it would be John Gary Evans i
against the field. How things may
change within a few months no one can i
tell. i
While on the topic of Senator Irby's
July convention scheme it might be
interesting to say that there is a strong
and growing sentiment against tho junior
Sjnator retaining tho leadership of the
Democratic Executive Committee. There
is talk of putting a young and independent
man at the head of the committee.
The county pres3 is not demonstratively
in favor of the retention of Senator Irby,
and it is even suggested that the local
organ would not be head-ovor-heels in
sorrow if some one else were elected. 1
What has it to say ? It is eyen hinted that
one of the questions to be asked Governor
Tillman in his candidacy for Senator is
whether he expects to have Mr. Irby
conduct and be responsible for his campaign.
J ust now the all-absorbing topic is who |
is to receive the Reformers' nomination
for Governor? Will it be John Gary
Evans or Comptroller General Ellerbe,
who are just now in the lead? Will W.
De Witt Evans, of Marlboro, or Secretary ,
of State Tindal, or Dr. Sampson Pope '
forge ahead? Up to this time there are '
five entries. Whether they will all bo at
the finish is not known. With or with- '
out reason, Governor Tillman is supposod J
to favor the selection of John Gary Evans '
as his successor. Whether this alleged
preference is purely personal, it that^ or
whether it will extend to political sup- J
Eort, lias not ueun uavoiopeu, mo ui'uttaiuii
as not arisen. The Governor's preference,
it is argued, is on account of the
aggressive, daring tactics of the Senator
from Aiken. Mr. Ellerbe is also said to
be a favorite. Both are young and aggressive.
For a day or two there have been mutterings
of a kind of conferenco or confab
at Wright's Hotel on Friday n'ght. The
information goes that there were about
ten good "Reformers" there and that in a
general way they talked over the situation
and came to some conclusions. One
of the topics, so it is said, was this: Governor
Tillman, if he is to be a candidate
for the United States Senate, ought to bo
made to understand tbat he has no right
to interfere with or influence State affairs
or nominations. He ought to restrict
himself to a discussion of National affairs
and be "bands off" on Stale politics. He
can siana Dy ana iook uu, uut um suggestions
are not wanted by the good people
or liberal Reformers of the State.
The same is applicable to Senator Irby,
and especially as he; - in National
politics, or supposed to be there.
It is further stated that another important
question that came up at the conference
was: "Should we, as Reformers,
assume the responsibility of fathering the
dispensary law ?" Some of those present,
and they were all invited on account of
being thought to be loaders, were afraid
of the dispensary law, and especially the
new one. It is not a popularscheme and
may lose many more votes than it will
gain. The fruits of this conference may
Boon be shown. The cardinal feature
was, so it is said, that Tillman and Irby
were not expected to dabble in State
politics?if they had the dictation of the
Blate it would defeat a number of other
would-be Governors.
There used to be a good deal said abont
slates. Note the views now, ana inose
who think they may be chosen in that 1
way do not seriously object, but the raa- t
joritj' of the candidates and tbo rank and
filo do not want any slates made, and t
they have duly announced their intention
of breaking any slate made by or with
the consent of anybody. The politician
who favors slate making, from what can
be heard, will not improve his chances r
for preferment. ^
But what about the Senatorial race? t
Oh, that is to be lively enough. Every- -]
bodv uuderstands that the contest will be v
between Senator Butler and Governor c
Tillman. There may be suggestions or r
other candidates and expressions as to r
the availability of this or that man, but ^
when the fight is really made it will be t
between those two men. llere and theresuggestions'
havfr been made of men to
make the race instead of- Senator Butler,
yet when itcomes to the pinch the genoral *!
opinion is that if Senator Butler cannot i
rlnfaat- Governor Tillman no one can do 0
so. The friends of Senator Butler say ?
that he has developed great strength and ?
Lhat he is going to win the race. His 1
friends say that they are willing to lay a
tho bridle on his neck and tell him to 1
run. Of course Senator Butler will make a
bis campaign on purely national issues, n
if he is allowed to do so, and thinks that a
10 has a record on which he can stand
,nd win before the people of his State.
Is a matter of fact when the campaign
eally opens this will be the all-impor
ant and interesting race and there will
>e some highly lively developments.
While the Reformers are holding their
ionferences and making and breaking
nates, wnai are tuu sunset viuivcouumg
rhev are keeping rather quiet. Holding

Illegal Juries,
Columbia Siatc, January 7.
There was quite a rattling of the dry
bones about the State Capitol yesterday,
accasioned by the discovery of the fact
ihat all juries jlrawn in the State since
December 1.S by a jury commissioner, according
to the cusroin of several years,
ivere illegally drawn, and their verdicts
:onsequently are void in law. Any that
may bo drawn hereafter in accordance
with the law in force for several years will
be equally as illegal aud their verdicts
worthless.
The matter was brought to light yesterday
by Sheriff Daniel J. Bradbam, of
Clarendon. He had heard that the Legislature
had recently passed a new law
governing the drawing of juries, and
knowing something of its nature, he
same here to sea the governor about it,
and the new law was looked up. It was
found that the act was approved on December
18, and it was one of those acts
providing that its provisions became law
immediately.
The law is entitled, "An act to amend
Chapter LXXXYII of the General Statutes
relating to juries and entitled 'Of
Juries.'"
It reads as follows:
Section 1. That chapter eighty-seven,
section 2234, of the General Statutes be
amended by striking out said section 2234
and inserting instead thereof the following
: Section 2234. The county auditor,
the county treasurer, and the clerk of tho
court of common pleas and general sosBions
of each county, shall constitute the
board of jury commissioners for their respective
coufltics.
Section 2. That section 2235 of the said
chapter be repealed and the following
Inserted instead thereof: Section 2235.
rnu??t "on*-?ftt aiirlioniint.xr t.ppnsn
xuat oaiu wuuwj ?uv>4w<} ?j
rer, and clerk of the court of common
picas and general sessions, shall perform
the duties required of them as jury commissioners
without Compensation.
Section 3. That section 2255 of the said
chapter be repealed and the following I e
inserted thereof: Section 2255. Whenever
it shall be necessary to supply any
deficiency In the number of grand or
petit jurors duly drawn, whether caused
by challenge or otherwise, it shall be the
duty of the jury commissioners under
the directions of the court to draw from
the special department in tbe jury box
known as the tales box, such numoer of
fit and competent persons to serve as
jurors as the court shall deem necessary
to fill such deficiency. That it sball be
the duty of tbe clorK of court to keep
such jury box in his custody.
Section 4. Tnejury box shall bo provided
with three locks, each different.
Tho key to one shall be kept by the clerk
of court, one t>y me auauor anu ono uy
the treasurer, so that no two of taid
commissioners shall hold keys to tho
aame lock.
Section 5. This act shall go into effect
immediately upon its approval by the
Governor.

The Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore.
has this strong and suggestive editorial
:
"The thousands of Southern people
who went to the World's Jb'air thought !t

and most of them may have thought the
Chicago people above the ordinary plane
of humanity. A few hundred studied
out the real cause of it all. The fact is
that in all the glitter and glare aud splendor
and interost of such an exposition we
are lost in admiration of the outside, and
cannot coolly analyze the forces that have
produced such a marvelous conception of
man's ingenuity.
"A Chicago correspondent of the Now
York Timet has been making just such
an analysis. In spite of all that has been
heard of Chicago in the last ten years, he
argnes that until the World's Fair it was
known to the people across the water as
ane might regard a "pull'of smoke in a
r:loudy sky"?to be thought of for the instant.
But the European visitors to this
country in 1893 will never forget the
miniature city nor the people who created
it, while to Americans Chicago has become
a household word which will be
perpetual,
".MOW Uld IUB peufjio avcuiuplish

i shrewd business* man or capitalist has
i nlan which he thinks is irood. his

and what he has done in the past,
they help him, and the object Is accomplished.
"When the gates were first
>pened to the White City the idea of
laving a "Chicago Day" was scarcely
thought of. Most of the residents were
for the time content with the other remits
of the exposition. Some one finaly
conceived it. Chicago thought it prac,ical.
Everyone who could go, went?

Ad Enraged Dull
Louisville, Ivy., January 5.?A fine
Holstein bull broke away to day while
being led along the street and played
havoc before being captured. The bull
attacked Mrs. Anna Goldstein, sixty
years of age, aud tossed her into the air
several tunes and trampled her beneath
its feet. The woman was instantly
killed.
Leaving the woman the bull dashed up
Floyd street and at Green street tossed
Charles Green into the air bruising him
very badly. Half a block lurther George
Watson crossed the bull's path and met
with a similar reception. Ho was severely
hurt. Will Denham, a one-arm
man, at this point caine up aud seized
the rope which was tied about the bull's
horns. The enraged animal turned upon
him, but Denham dodged around a tree
when he tied the rope. Wheu the charging
bull reached the end of the rope he

Gen. Hampton is in the city, having
iust returned from a Christmas deer hunt
in the low country.
General Hampton relates the following
incident, which occurred on the hunt:
He and a friend were od a stand together
and could plainly bear the deep
mouthed pack as it drove the deer in
their direction. Nearer and nearer it
came until a tine buck bounded into view
and into shooting distance. The general
fired and it fell. Both hunters saw thai
the animal was badly wounded and to
prevent its escape cut its throat from ear
to ear. At an unexpected moment the
deer struggled to its feet and into the
cane brake but not before its hind leg
was broken by another shot.
The dogs were quickly called and put
on its trail. They rau the deer to the
Savannah river, not fardistant. It crossed,
but could not get up the high bank
od the other aide, and when the hunters
came up it was standing in the water at
bay, and fighting the dogs with desperation.
No boats were available and the
dter was left alone with a load of buckshot
in its side, one leg broken and its
throat cut irom ear to ear, but stilf alive
and fighting.?Columbia Journal, Jan. 5.

The alligator was never beloved by the
people liviog in the regions where it
abounded ; the farmers anathematized it
as a destroyer of young pigs, while everyone
agreed it was an ugly, useless
animal. But since the demand for its
skin for valises, pocketbooks, and a
thousand and one such uses, has resulted
in the almost entire destruction of
LOU aiiiguiur, Llio iraiviumn vi mo imj uuu
bayou regions of Louisiana and Florida
have discovered tbo huge smirhin's value.
With its disappearant-o there has
been a great increase in the iiu::>berof
muskrats, rabbits, raccoons and other
mischievous animals, and in some parts
of Louisiana, since the disappearance of
the alligator, these animals have lately
become a dangerous pest.
The rats burrow through the levees
built to keep the water on the rice fields
during the growing season, and do immense
damage. Constant watchfulness
and much hard work is required to keep
up the levees, and oftentimes are so
honeycombed as to need entire reconstruction.
The rabbits and raccoons
make great havoc on the truck farms,
destroying lettuce, cauliflower and cabbage
wholesale. Some farmers have bad
to build wire fences about their fields,
whileothers have abandoned the raisingof
these vegetables. Several years ago a
law was made in Plaquemine Parish forhirMinc
kniintrof nlliirAtors. and with
tboir increase the destructive vermin decreased.
But that law has siuce been repealed.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 6.?A. W.
Bowen Moore, the most extensive pension
agent in Western Now York, with
his son, Allen, and tivo clerks, wore arrested
this afternoon by United States officers
on the charge of defrauding the
government, and extorting money from
pensioners. Col. Moore, since 1889, has
secured over 0,000 claims, of which, it is
said, over. 4,500 at least are fraudulent.
According to Special Examiner Ay res,
the government estimates the amount he
has fraudulently obtained for pensioners
at about one million dollars. Already
the examiners have found whero ?150,000
has been secured by fraud. It is also
said that others are implicated, among
them several well known local attorneys,
and that more arrests will soon
bo made.
Manning, January 7.?The first trial
in the county for violating the dispensary
law was commenced last night at G
o'clock and ended at 10 o'clock, the verdict
being not guilty. The party tried
was Jacob Plowden, colored, who was
arrested upon affidavit made by Mr. S.
A. Nettlea, member of the Legislature.
The witnesses were II. L. Tobias and?T.
A.Johnson. The .State was represented
by John S. Wilson, solicitor, and the
defence by Messrs. Barron & Levi. The
State at one time seemed to have a clear
case, but the attorneys for the defence
soon caused the witnesses for the State to
get mixed. The jury remained in the
room a very short time before they
rcached a verdict. As soon as the verdict
was rendered every negro in the
Court House began to yell. No attempt
to stop them was made by the trial
justice. Mr. Nettles promisessome more
fun in the near future and it is very
likely that more arrests will bo made in
the morning. He is no doubt actiug upon
the superior judgment "of that good
man" in Columbia.
