COTTON SEED FLOUR.
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." **

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

Five days later the hogs were

Phey were found to be sound and all- de
right when brought to the ground. Rt

Billy Felix's Letter. [

W. F. Mack and family have moved j

iased. Henry Luca9 occupies the
celling vacated by brother Mack.

iThe
union meeting of the lower di!sion
of the Lexington Baptist assoation
held with the King's Groye
lurch on Saturday and Sunday, Jan- ]
iry 29 and 30, wa9 a success in every y
irtiiular. After the enrollment of
le delegates and reports from the
lurches, the election of officers for
le ensuing year was held, whL-h rellted
as follows: W. B. Fallaw,
loderator; A. L. Rogers, clerk; H.
. Sharpe, treasurer. The next meetig
of the union will be held with the
wan.^ea church.
Our carrier on route 3 was unable to
B
jrve his patrons for a week, due to "
n attack of the grip.
We were truly sorry to hear of the ?
augnman-Gantt difficulty. They
rere both personal friends of ours. *

Mis9 Alice, one of the seven pretty
9ters, met the carrier at the box reenlly
and feasted him upon pineppie

and stimulate him to renewed
3tivifcy and to render better service. -5
