The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, October 1,1902. Jfotes and Comments. (tethered for the Information of the Dispatch Readers. Can any one tell us where the Columbia Evening Kecord stands politically? At one time it was an ardent disciple or McLaurin, and the eternal principles of Progressive De- | mocracy. Now a change has seem- j ingly come over the spirit of its | j?~ Txra fin/i if. hiv.nfolv kneel urcsiuo auu "v uuv< <> ~ ^ ing at the footstool of Tillman. * * * Sad is the admission but nevertheless it is true that the ante bellum ' negro has proven a failure in -every field of usefulness in which he has been tried. As a laborer he has proven a most complete failure. He is unreliable and bis work is unsatisfactory. In the higher paths of life his mind to unable to grasp the rev. Bponsibilities which are demanded of him. As a citizen he has proven a miserable failure and has disappoint - - mm *t ed the hopes of his "truest irienas. The North, East &Dd West are beginning to realize that which has been . known in the South, and to sum up the whole matter, the negro has to make a radical change in bis condition or there will be no room on American soil to contian him. As he is now be is a menace to the civilization of the Cavalier and the Hugenot, opposed to the laws of society and impedes the car of progress. Such conditions cannot last long and we are glad to say that the end is in sight , * * * Lever. McLauchlin.

This evidence of confidence should be an incentive to him to redouble his efforts in looking af ter the various interest of the entire district It will be observed that Congressman Lever carried every county in the District by handsome majorities. Even Orangebug, the home county of Mr. McLaucblin, gave Congressman Lever a majority of 1,893 over his opponent, while Lexington, Congressman Lever's home county, gave her gifted son a majority of 2,611, or, in round numbers, 95 per cent, of the vote polled. Is this not glory enough? Is it not a flattering endorsement? * * * The Dispatch is inconstant receipt of flattering commendations of the efforts of tne editor and manager to give to the people of Lexington a clean, high toned and reliable family journal and these words of praises are a source of much gratification to us. Hitherto our modesty has prevented us from mentioning these things, but the following note received Friday induces .us to depart from our usual custom and give this note to the public and in doing so we nn cTPUBP to make. The note iiCftTV WV r is as follows: Easfover, S. C, Sept. 27,1902, Mr. G. M. Harman, Lexington, S. C. Bear Friend and Brothei: Enclosed find $1.00 for subscription to the Dispatch for the comiDg year. Nothing gives me more pleasure than the continuance of the Dispatch to our fireside. It brings us tidiDgs from our old county and our nath e > ' j. '<? ???awy^MEMMi ? home and tidings about our brother soldiers of the war of the 60's. I often think of the days of June '61 when we were camped about Centreville, Va , and when we were sent out on picket duty?beiDg the advance of the Army of the Potomac. Of the time when our food supply depended mainly upon the cows that we could milk in the pastures and that supply being limited to the capacity of the udders and the number of canteens to store away the fluid. I shall never forget those days and my old brother soldiers. Hope you are well. Yours truly, J. S. Hook. We are thankful to know that the Dispatch is a welcomed visitor to the homes of thousands of people in Lexington and adjoining counties. * * * "When circumstances are considered Solicitor Thurmond made a magnificent run for Congressman from the Second District. From the beginning of the campaign the odds were largely against him by reason of the addition of counties to his District in which he was comparatively unknown and, consequently, his worth not appreciated. With all the disadvantages with which Solicitor Thurmond had to contend, his campaign was a most remarkable one in that he missed the nomination by only 146 votes, that is being in the the second race and had he got there there is no queston as to the result of the second primary. Solicitor Thurmond is one of the most brainy youDg men in the State and his record as Solicitor of the Fifth Judicial Circuit is without blot or blemish. So evenly balanced is his judgment in the handling of his cases that, while active and vigilant in seeing that evil disposed persons have that justice given them which the grade cf their crime in equity demanded and showing mercy to those charged with the violation of the law wbere mercy is deserving, thus making him an ideal prosecutor instead of a ruthless persecutor simply for the sake of securing conviction without regard to the consideration of guilt or innocence. Such is the reputation of Solicitor Thurmond in this circurit- and Is reputation that he should, and nC doubt does, feel proud. His recent campaign for Congressional honors sbould cot, as we Bald in the beginning, when all the circumstances surrounding it are considered, be con 8idered as a defeat but rather in the light of a complete victory, and from this thought he should receive inspiration to strive the harder to attain unto the goal of his laudable ambition. His sphere of usefulness haB noi. ended?it is only begun. There are other glories and honors awaiting him up life's rugged pathway and his foresight will enable him to seize the opportunity at its flood and the State and country yet will receive the benefit of his lofty intellect, his untiring energy and his patriotic and unselfish citizenship.

'* Color Line in Indiana. Several dajs ago the patrons of the Evansville, IodiaDa, schools withdrew all their children from the school and when the matter was investigated it was learned that the parents believed a young girl named Mabel Smith was colored. The board of education protested and the truant of ficer threatened to have the parents arrested for not sending their children to school, but this had no fff-ct and the teachers sat day after day without pupils. The board of educa tion then appointed Dine physicians to examine the girl and report as to whether she had any negro blood in her veins. Five of them said she had and four said she had not, and this left the matter in as bad shape j as before. Theb)ard then entered upon an investigation itself and summoned Mrs. Wade, t-uperintendeot of the home for friendless children, at which institution Mabel lives. Mrs Wade testified that she knew the parents of the child;, that they were French descent and died several years ago, and that Mabel, though unusually dark skinned, had no negro blood in her veins. The patrons of the school had a committee pres ent, and after Mrs. Wade testified they consented to let their children return to school. Women and Jewels.

THE ADVANTAGES WHICH ACCRUE TO THE FARMER. Some of the Profit He Realizes by the i Establishment of Cotton Seed Oil Mills. No manufacturing industry stands so close to the farmer as the cotton seed oil mills. The interest of the two are mutual and inseparable. A very large part of the products of the oil mills is now returned tor the farm and practically all of it in some form can be utilized. The mill provides a profitable market for the surplus seed, and returns the product to the farmer, with greatly enhanced value in a finished condition. | While the larger part of the business between the mill and the farmer is conducted on a basis of barter and exchange, it does not actually differ much in results from the toll system of the corn mill. The oil mill purchases the seed in the open market, and sens its products in the same way, but ultimately, all of the hulls and meal should get back J to the farms from which the seed were shipped. While this is now the result in many cases, it is not as common or general as the practice should be. Every pound of these two products produced in the South should be returned to the land, either as fertilizer applied direct, or stock feed, the latter much to be preferred, as their value in that way is immensely increased. About 1830 a cotton seed oil mill was established at Columbia, S. C. The historian of the time only considered it of sufficient importance to congratulate the "public-spirited" citizen who had enterprise enough to establish the business, but did make the further comment that the owner "expressed from cotton seed a very fair grade of edible oil." No further reference is made to this beginning of the business, and it can only be inferred that the improper handling of the product, or the prejudices of the people against this "edible oil," prevented it from be in g successtui. in isibu Aiaigee found thousands of tons of seed dumped on the commons, and placed under guard to prevent the cows from eating them, as they were regarded as poisonous to cattle. From such conditions has grown a magnificent industry that has added millions to the value of Southern farms, increased the traffic of the railroads, established an immense foreign trade with this country, earned fair returns for its promoters, while giving employment to thousands of men at remunerative wages, many of whom otherwise would be idle at the season when their work is required at the mills. In all of this development the greatest benefits have been derived by the farmers. The mills have taken the seed which prior to their establishment, were either lost entirely or wastefuliy used, and converted them into valuable products, easily and economically handled, resulting in the cheaper production of crops, and increased yields per acre. V? n icinrr nnil fattpninc r-Qtt 1a one of the interesting1 features of this development. The fattening of cattle in the South for market, outside, perhaps. of the Texas ranges, was unknown before the extensive use of cotton seed hulls and meal. At present, almost every neighborhood is raising a few head of cattle for the butcher on this feed, and in many sections, numbers of cattle are being fattened in this way. As this business increases it will be followed by the erection of packing houses in the South with all the advantages of such industries. Any land-owner can make fattening cattle profitable. It has been chemi cally demonstrated, sustained by practical tests that the droppings from cattle fed uri cotton seed meal is equal in feeding value to the meal itself applied directly to the land. No other feed has any such comparative value. When thi" is considered, the immense advantages derived by the farmers from the establishment of cotton seed oil mills is realized even if no other benefits accrue, but when the abundance and cheapness of hulls is considered, and their value to the farmer and feeder recognized, some idea is given of the splendid work and advantages the other mills have accomplished towards the development of Southern agriculture. In almost any season, regardless of the price of seed and products, the . mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Mill Company of the Carolinas and Georgia will give back to the farmers all of the meal and hulls produced from the seed in PYfhan<rp for the seed, reserving only the oil, and small amount of short lint to cover transportation charges, cost of working, interest on investment and profits. No more liberal division of the profits between manufacturers and consumer has ever been accomplished. It makes the business cooperative, returning to the farmer all that is of any value to him. in a greatly improved condition, and consequently greatly increased in value, and leaving with the mill only that part of the seed universally regarded as detrimental in its natural condition, either as a feed or fertilizer, from which the mill must realize all of its expenses, including cost of working. The oil is converted at the refineries in Savannah into pure and wholesome substitutes for lard, known as "Palmatina" and "Snowdrift," and is given back to the consumers' table as a delicacy at a low price, or as a pure cooking oil, as Wesson Cooking Oil. The refuse or waste from the refined oil is made into a soap, and sold back at a cost that places it in the reach of the poorest. The lint is made into quilts, pillows and mattresses and sold at a price that makes it possible for the bed-rooms of the humblest cottage to be comfortably furnished. In buying or raising cattle to be fattened on hulls and- meal, every effort should be made to oecure good beefproducing breeds. A prominent and successful packer is authority for the statement that the improved breeds will sell on foot for three times as much as the common stock. The consumption of beef in the South far exceeds any previous period. It can be met by home production if Southern farmers will use an tne nuns and meal made by the oil miljs, without drawing on the West. At present only about one-fourth of the cotton seed meal is consumed where it is produced for feeding and fertilizing crops, the balance finding a. market either in Europe or in the Eastern or Western States. The cotton oil industry has been developed when it was most needed by the people of the South, especially by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, which has mills throughout the South and general headquarters at Columbia, S. C., Goldsboro, N. C.. Charlotte, C., Atlanta, Ga., and Savannah and Augusta, Ga Its only danger is in being over-done. It should get to such proportions as to have the crushing capacity run ahead of the production of seed, or the production of oil increase Taster than the consumption, the results would be disastrous both to the mill owners, and to the farmers. It is a business requiring a high order of commercial intelligence for its successful continuance, and it is manifestly to the interests of the manufacturer and to the farrier to keep it well within reasonable bounds. ? ? Do Goo&--Zts Pays. A Caicago man has observed that, "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds?some of tbe latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping i hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appreciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons ia this community who might truthfully s?}: "My good friend, cheer ud.
