T A Development Which May Mean Much for the Country. 01 R Flour from cotton seed meal as an CI edible is said to be no longer in the theoretic stage. For a number of years cotton seed crushers have been claiming that cotton is a grain crop as well as a fibre and that from the seed < an edible flour may be obtained. If flour in any quantity could be P* produced from cotton seed, the price ?r of wheat flour would be reduced ma- lr1 terially., and anything is a boon w ieh contributes to reduce the cost of liv- 'J ci mg. , It is claimed that the cheap 1033 of this cotton seed product commends it- u' self to general use. ^ From Tennessee come3 the ancl nouncement that this cotton-seed tl flour has appeared. A prominent oil mill man is accredited with saying: "James J. Hill and other econo mists have stated that the United States can no longer class herself as a ir wheat exporting country and within a ? very few years Americans must lock elsewhere for a portion of their food s,: supply. al "Those who believe in the South as the future salvation of the nation say that the chances arc that neither Mr. Hill nor others who have given the food question much thought' have counted upon the possibility of un- ? crtnrr>o?f.hft field of UVU^ilVU kJV vv> ? ?v . the South." si In heralding to the world this new ^ product, the Ennis, Tenn., Daily News 9ays: "Cotton seed flour is a commercial . 15 fact and Ennis stands sponsor for the ^ announcement. It has arrived and it S] ha9 come to stay. It is not only a good, a healthful, delicious, and nu?T tricious food, but it is a patriotic J one." ** c; a< Two Hanged For Assault. Convicted of assault, George Reynolds and John Williams, were hanged simultaneously Tuesday in Missouri. Their execution marked the first time the death penalty has been inflicted that slate for this crime. The negroes on the night of December 23, 190S, attacked Mrs. W. H. S Jackson, a violinist, who was return- ^ ing home from a charitable institu- ? tion, where she had given a concert. Reynolds collapsed a few hours be- ?fore the execution and it wa9 neces- ? sary to carry him upon the trap in a ^ chair. PJ When the chair was removed he w fell limp upon the trap door, moaning 01 piteously. t Williams, who had been known for ai years as a desperate character, rc- w mained composed. 0l The evidence brought out at the trial was so bonifying that Judge ^ Ralph S. Latshaw, in sentencing the w negro said: w "I shall not desecrate Friday, the bl day on which legal hangings usually tb take place, by ordering your execution on that day. There i9 at least a spark of manhood left in almost every man executed by the State. But C< there is no manhood in either of you.' R Mrs. Jackson's husband witnessed C< the hangings. CJ ? ? bi 2og3 in Well. pc 0j On February 5th two hogs belongcc iug to W. J. Manuel, about three SO miles east of Swansea, come up missing. Five days later the hogs were discovered in an old well, 35 feet deep. Phey were found to be sound and all- de right when brought to the ground. Rt _ .
