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.

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. ?">?/ PISO'S CUBE FOR UUHrS nlltHt AU LLSt IAILS.

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.
