Paper Oui of Colton.
Through tho efforts nf Representa
tivo Howard,of Georgia, the Agricul
tural Department at Washington,
has started an investigation of a now
industry which promises not only to
break the paper trust, but also add
great profit to the cotton planting
industry in tho South. It is tho
manufacture of white paper from
cotton stalks, and already successful
experiments have boon mado in
Atlanta and in Houston. It is said
tho white paper mado from cotton
stalks excels thu usual produot made
from wood pulp and it is belioved
tho cost of manufacture is considera
bly less. Mr. Howard has been work
ing for several weeks to interest tho
depart ment in the new industry. He
finally got Secretary Wilson and bis
assistants to look into tho experimen
tal process already established and
the result of that step was tho an
nouncement mado to-day that the de
partment would make moro complete
investigation as to the cost and
process of converting the stalks into
paper and issue a publio bulletin con
taining all tho information obtainable.
Another feature of the industry
which is of particular interest to
planters is tbo fact that the dreaded
boll weevil will find himself unable
to get a foothold on cotton planta
tions where the stalks aro sold to
paper mills.
Tho Department of Agriculture
has advised that the best plan for
war on tho weevil is to destroy tho j j
stalkB, when the weevil moth lives
during the incubation period. This j j
would involve an expenso to tho
planter, but if tho stalks are cut down
and sold for paper manufacture tho
the moth's homo is destroyed, while
at the same time the planter profits j
thereby. I
lt is no longer doubted that a .
splendid quality of white paper can
be made from cotton stalks, and the
raw material is in such au abundance
that*it is impossible for a trust to
control it. The only thing to be
done is to bring the industry into
general notice and it will build itself
Mr. Howard has been active on the
matter because lie realized the ad van
tago it would bring to tho cotton
planters of his State and section.
Ghronic Bronchitis Cured.
"For ton years I had chronic bronchitis
so bad that at times I could not speak
ah.?ve a whisper," writes Mr. Joseph
Coffman, of Monimorouci, Iud. "I tried
all remedies available, but with no suc
cosB. Fortunately my omployor sug
gested that I try Foloy's Honey and Tar.
Its effect was almost miraculous, and I
am now cured of tho disoaso. On my
recommendation many people havo used
Foley's Honey and Tar, and always wjth
satisfaction." Sold by J. W. Bell, Wal

A Texas jury has given a verdict
for $1,500 against J. J. Faulkner, a
barkeeper, for selling three drinks of
whiskey to tho husband of a protest

the plaintiff. She had.warned faulk
ner and it was proved that he had
disregarded her warning. This wo
man would have had absolutely no
relief in South Carolina. Sho would
not even have been permitted to

"I Lott My Opportunity."
Opportunity comes to us when
least expected often, and the uoxt
moment it is gono. Happy tho one
who recognizes it and useB it to the
full. Dr. Balcom Shaw, of tho West
End Presbyterian Cburoh, Now York,
closed a recent address on "soul win
ning" with the following personal
experience :
I am going to toll you tho story of
"Old Harvey," as ho was oalled. He
had driven mo for hundreds of miles
over tho mountain roads; wo had
been about overywhero together, and
I had broachod tho Bubjeot of religion,
as we sometimes say, in an indirect
way; I had gono away around the
barn to talk about these things to
him, but I had never until the week
before his death got right to tho
point of trying to grip his soul with
my own personal touch, and I talked
to him in a low voice as I sat on the
front seat, next to bira, all that drive
through, about becoming a Christian.
I didn't mal'o very much progress,
but I said, "I am going to preach
down in tho mountain ohuroh noxt
Sunday night." Dr. Smith, whom
you all know in Northfield, and I, |
had tho habit then, as wo have th;?
summor, of preaching alternately ?
Sunday nights just to the guides and
the mountain peoplo-just trying to
got hold of those among whom we
summer. It was my turn to preach
the next Sunday night, and I said : J
"I am going to preach next Sunday
night. Won't you come and hear I
me?"
"Well," ho said, "if you put it that
way"-and ono never likes to put it
that way, and yet we aro willing to
l)e all things to all men, and even to
put down our modesty and pride
:'if you put it that way, I will come."
. Tho very next morning ono of my
neighbors in tho mountains said,
'Did you hear that Harvey was very
nek ?"
I said, "No ; I will go and seo him."
[ went straight to his house, and the
ion said : "You cannot seo him this
norning. He is critically ill, and the
loctor said no ono must go in but
,he nurse." . I wont tho next day,
ind ho was worse, and still they
couldn't lot mo in. The third day
[ went, and tho little grand-daughter
jame with tears rolling down her
;aco and said, "Grandpa has just
lied." Tho next day was Sunday,
ind that day I went down to tho
nountain church, and I preached tho
lormon that I had prepared with
Harvey in mind. I had imagined
lim sitting in tho pow and my
^reaching tho word, trying to got |
.ho seed into thc soil, but "Old Har
dey" wasn't there; and do you know
[ couldon't seo those people ; that |
vns what might bc called an absont
ninded sermon ; my mind ran down j
;he road to a littlo mountain house,
./here "Old Harvey," my Adirondack
1 ri vcr, lay cold in death.
And tho noxt morning, when wei
loki bis funeral service, and thoy
isked mo to take part, I said, "I can
10t speak ; I do not feel that I am
ivorthy ; I will just read a few pass
iges of Scripture." When I fell in
ino with thc country folk, trying to
Io what they do, though I disliko it,
ind walked around his coffin, as I
?row near, tho plato on it disappeared.
? didn't see that ; I don't think I saw
ilarvey's face-lloved him dearly,
,00,-but 1 saw instead tho inscrip
,ion on that coffin put there by divine
innds, and it read, "A lost opportu
lity."-Young Peoples Weekly.

Letter from R. A. Hudson.
CulloVhee High School, Painter,
N. 0.,
Please
April ll.-Editors Courier
grant me space in your valu
able ool imus, aa this is my first letter
to the Courier. We have a fine
school l ore ; young people, who are
not in i ahool, would do well to visit
our soh ?ol and see the progress that
young men and young Vadles are
making here. Wo have a building
that co?t $7,000. It is a pebbledasb
and very attraotive.
Our commencement will be on the
11th and 12th of May. Everybody
is invited to come and bring their
sister, aunt and cousin ; and they
will find that the mountain people
are not so near the back side of the
world as they have been represented.
We notioed an artiole in our last
Courier concerning our ohuroh at
Little Uiver. We are glad to kuow
that some of the brethren are so
deeply interested in the Master's
work. The brother mentioned some
thing oonoeruing the bad order and
the drinking, and also said some
thing oonoerning the trustees. Now,
brethren, not the trustees only, but
tho church membors and ohuroh offi
cers would not befriend the block
aders. Now, brethren, the idea of a
man claiming religion and going to
the church house with that devilish
thing called alcohol ! What is alco
hol? What does it do? I believe
that from the time it issues from the
coiled aud poisonous worm in the
distillery until it empties into the
hell of death, dishonor and orime, it
demoralizes everybody that touches
lt, from its sourco to where it ends.
I do not believe anybody can oon
template tbo subjeot without beoom
ing prejudiced against tho liquor
orihie., All wo have to do, brethren,
is to think of the wrecks on either
bank of tho stream of death ; of the
suicides, of the insanity, of the pov
erty, of the ignorance, of the desti
tution, of the little children asking
for bread, of tho talented men of
genius it has wrecked, men Strug
gling with imaginary serpents, pro
duced by this devilish thing ; and
when you think of the jails, the alms
houses, of tho asylums, of the
prisons, of the scaffolds upon either
bank, I do not wonder that every
thoughtful man is prejudiced against
this stuff called alcohol.
Intemperance outs down youth in
its vigor, manhood in its strength and
age in its weakness. It breaks the
father's heart, boroaves the doting
mother, and brings down mourning
ago in sorrow to tho grave. It pro
duces death, not lifo ; it makes wives
widows ; children orphans ; fathers
fionds, and all of the paupers and
beggars. It covers the land with
idleness, misery and orimo. It foB
ters quarrels and cherishes riots. It
crowds your penitentiaries and fur
nishes victims to the scaffolds. It is
tho lifeblood of the gamblers, the
element of the burglar, tho prop of
the highwayman and the support of
tho midnight incendiary. It coun
tenances the liar, respects the thief,
esteems tho blasphemer. It hates
love, scorns virtue and slanders inno
cence. It helps the husband to mas
sacre his wifo. It curses God and
despises heaven. It does all this
and more-it murders tho soul. It
is the father of all crimes, the
mother of abominations, the devil's
best friend and God's worst enemy.
We hear so-called ohuroh members
say thorn is no harm in a dram.
Brethren, the devil don't want a
better agent ; ho would not have a
better thing tolerated. Keep your
self unspotted from the world.
James 1:27.
But when a member is engaged in
dram drinking or disturbing, or
when a member is upholding "ilistur
hance ho certainly is spotting himself
with tho world. Brethren, how
many of you have admonished these
young membors as von should, spoken
of by the brother ?
Lost sheep Luke 15:4-10. And
furthermore, how often have tho
deacons road their chargo given them
by Timothy ? Brethren, 1 think tho
thing for us to dois to put our talent
to use. Do what is required of us
Let tho world say what it may
Now, brethren, I am afraid if somo
of us could seo religion as it is we
would bo excited. Now, brethren,
if any of us have hid our our Lord's
money, let us unfold that glorious
treasury. Else tho case will bo with
us as it was with the man who hid
his Lord's money.
Wishing you all much success, I
remain, cordially yours,
lt. A. Hudson.

S??T CORE
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
thc veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
i some say red blood also comes
I from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them, strength to do
their proper work.

Greenville, April 18.-In a bloody duel
last night between Police offloers Tucker
aud Brown, of the Greenville foroo, and
Watchman Sanders, of the Southern rail
way station here, the three men were
wounded, Tuoker and Sanders probably
mortally and Brown but slightly. The
trouble is the result of an arrest made
by OGioer Brown earlier in the day of a
negro woman, who Sanders claims was
bis oook. Officer Tuoker, who was
soarcely strong enough to speak, said he
and Brown met the watchman in a dark
street near the station. Sanders imme
diately began cursing them and Tuoker
nt upped up to take him by the arm, ? tell
ing him he must stop. Sanders drew his
Eietol and began snooting, one of tho
ullets taking effect in Tucker's abdo
men and another in Brown's leg. Tuoker,
as soon as he could recover from the
shock, shot Sanders twioe in the ohest,
near the heart, and in the stomaob. Both
men were taken to a sanitarium. At a
late hour Tuoker was operated on, but
with no hopes of recovery.

lino from Townville to this city.
He has been discussing the matter
with his neighbors, and with people
in the oity, and has mot with a great
deal of encouragement so far.
Dr. Sharp says that all the peo
ple at and around Townville are very
anxious to havo the line built, and
that in order to get it they would bo
willing to subscribo liberally to tho
stock.
A number of business men in the
city have said they would subscribe
stock to tho enterprise, and Dr.
Sharp and others, who have been
considering the matter feel very
much encouraged. /
The line would open up one of tho
best farming sections in the State,
aud would give tho people at and
near Townville rail connection with
tho outside world and would give to
Anderson a greatly increased terri
tory. It is quite likely that an effort
will be made at an early day to get
the enterprise on a tangible basis.

POWDER
ELY PURE
To Mako a Town Grow.
S. A. Fishburn, Seorotary of tbo |Com
morotai Club, of Dallas, Texas, bas pre
prepared a sot of rules for making a
town grow. Ho guarantees their effloaoy.
Here they aro:
1. Join no organization looking to the
upbuilding of your town. TbiB will
prove an ouoouragoment to thoso who
give their time and money to sustain
suoh organizations.
2. Impugn ;the motive of those t.Lu
join and oharge them with a desire to
advertise themselves. This inspires pa
triotic mon to work all the harder for the
publie good.
3. Pour cold water on every new borne
enterprise, predict ita early failure, and
contribute to that ond by patronizing its
rivalB in othor towns. This will encour
age others to put their money in home
enterprises.
4. Whon a committee calls on you for
a contribution to any good oause, aot
Uko a Boro-headod boar, and yiold up
what you do give as begrudgingly as
possible. This lightens the burdens of
tho committeemen and soudB them on
tboir way rejoioing in their work of love.
5. When strangers visit your town let
them wander around alone and enlighten
tbomsolvoB by reading tho signs and
pumping the professional loafer. They
will carry away a delightful remem
brauco of thoir visit ana advertise tho
town wherever they go.
0. "Cuss out" your publio officials (to
their backs, of oourse) and accuse them
of everything from petty larceny to high
t reason, no m?.tter whether you can sub
stantiate your charges or not. This will
prove a koon incentive to the complete
fulfillment of their official obligations.
7. Whenever your town paper differs
in tho slightest with your ideas of publio
policy, declaro that it has been bought,
up ana promptly eut off your patronage.
Tho editor will turn tho othor chook and
redoublo his efforts in behalf of the town
and its "good poople."
8. Oppose any enterprise which is not
in oxact accordance with your own ideas.
This will bo conducive to that Bpirit of
concession and unity wbiob is necessary
to progress.
0. Givo sparingly, if at all, to movo
monts for the general good of the town,
even If you arc tho largost property
owner in it. This will spur on to greater
oxertious the publie spirited oitizena
your town now has Mid induce tho com
ing Of ol hers,
10. Observo these rules olosely and
there can be no doubt about the growth
of your town. It will grow and continue
to grow-up in weodB-until it shall ulti
mately become a flt habitation alone for
bats and owls.
Wo bolievo that some of our poople
already understand and omploy tho prin
ciples hero formulated, but they are not
enough to make the system completely
effective. A wider employment of the
mles will accomplish something dollnite.
