Bean the J* T& Kind You Haw Always Bought Increasing Use ot Cotton Seed Oil. Cotton Seed Oil Magazine. The South is rapidly taking the bull by the horns in the matter of utilizing her products, and a genuine revolution ia at hand in thu matter of cotton seed oil, that wouderful product which a few years ago was actually thrown away. Tho story of cotton seod reads Uko a tale from the Arabian Nights. Hereto fore the crude oil from cotton seed has been sent away to the refineries to be worked over before being placed '. on the market. The bulk of even this refined oil has been shipped to . Europe and there converted into ' olive oil, which is conceded to bo the filleul for oulinary purposes of all the fats ever discovered. Most of this oil has been returned to this country and Bold at a fancy price to those who wanted only the best and who were able to pay the price. It bas been thought that olive oil was with out the reach of people of ordinary means. It is now known that only a small H percentage of olive oil has been im "ported in this country and instead of getting what is supposed to be olive oil, the people have been buying cot ton seed.oil which has been flavored and otherwise doctored to diguise it. It is oven said that foreigners are beginning to show a preference for cotton seed oil over olivo oil. Baby Barn ta America's 8mallett Couple. There was boro unto Mr. sud Hrs.

How to Avoid Pneumonia. We have never heard of a single in stance of a cold resulting in pneumonia or other lung trouble when Foley's Honey aud Tar has been taken. It not only stops the cough, but heals and strengthous the lungs. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar and refuse any substi tute offered. Dr. C. J. Bishop, of Ag new, Mich., writes: "I have used Fo ley's Honey and Tar in three very se vero cases of pneumonia with good re sults in every case." J. W. Boll. A great deal of so-called oljve oil is even put up in this country from cotton seed oil. ADULTERATION OK COTTON OIL. Millions have been made in this country in the compounding busi ness. Refined cotton seed oil which did not find its way to Europe has been used to make cooking com pounds and sold to the public under various names, and a great deal of the so-called lard is a very bad mix ture of cotton seed oil and refuse hog fat. The cotton seed oil has been UBed by the large packing houses to render marketable a lot of refuse fat which, but for cotton seed oil, would have gone into the manu facture of axle grease and soap. The pure, refined cotton seed oil has been mixed with this fat and in this way the greater part of thc lard and cook ing compounds is made. Other sections have grown rich at the expense of the cotton seed oil mills of the South and they do not intend to longer allow these middle men to make the profit. How will they prevent it? By simply selling the pure refined oil direct to the people of the section in which their mills are located. EXPERIMENTS TRIED. The oil mills have learned that all tho leading hotels and cafes in the world are now using refined cotton seed oil in the place of lard. Being a vegetable fat it is moro healthy "Texas" Farmers' Union. Hon. W. A. Show, leader of tho Texas Far nier?' Union, was severe la* t week io his criticism of the Southern Cot tem Asso oiatioD as ap organization. Anning other things he said: ''The Southern Associa tion is not a producers' association, a large majority of the members being non-producers, interested only in profits in exobanges of cotton above the price the producers receive "The producer must not forgot that while the convention in New Orleaus indulged iu the usual geueral sweeplug deuuuoiatioo of 'gautbliug' iu cotton futures, gamblers in futures from the million-dollar capitalist down to the bucket shop variuty are recognized lead ers of the Southern Cotton Association. The real producers of cotton miui not forget 'gamblers in futures' in New Or leaus are mainly responsible for the or ganization of this association and that, with them the leadingobjuot, aunounced iu ?hc.i?r?t vail as one of the leading ob jcel?, is to make New Orleans the great est cotton market, heuco the greatest gambling hell in the world. There may be eulisted enough honestly in the Asso ciation, however, to control the gam blers." Chronic Constipation Cured.

Dispensary Fight in Laurens. Laurens, January 20.-The oounty board of eleotion commissioners to-day investigated all boxes, tabulated tho ret ul lin and prepared a signed statement to the offeot: "The most just and fairest manner of disposing of tho matter is to declare that there bas beou no legal elec tion hold in Laurens county as provided for under the Brice Act," and it was so declared. The commissioners declared that they fouud all the allegations in tho petition correct, "besides numerous other irregularities in other boxes." Counsel for both sides gave im med lato notioe of appeal, and it seems that the contest has only begun. The offioial count, including tho contest boxes, gave "No Dispensary" 07 majority. To have thrown out the boxos named In tho peti tion would have given the "Dispensary" 108 majority. than animal fat, and it lias also been discovered that the pure refined oil . gives better results in every way when not mixed with any other sub- 1 stance and that it possesses the pe culiar quality of not mixing with j anything cooked with it. For in stance, you can fry fish in the oil and ' pour it back into the receptacle and < then fry a steak with the same oil Without detecting any of the odor of i the fish. In a comparatively short while millions of people have begun to use pure refined oil, which they ' find not only cheaper, but more satis- i factory and digestible than the ? various compounds sold for cooking : purposes. The cotton seed oil mills j have opened departments in conneo ' tion with their crushers and are ' dispensing the pure and unadulte rated refined oil to consumers by wholesale and retail at G? cents per , pound. The mills are uow supply- ] ing the pure refined oil to the public and but for the slight prejudice that i keeps many from giving the oil an | honest trial the revolution would be ? complete. Scientific research and ] the best cooks of the laud use cotton Beed oil because of its purity and . perfection. From Texas to Virginia tho revolution is progressing. Farm ers and householders form a Bteady stream of customers who have found out tho real value of cotton seed oil and its superiority over other cook ing compounds.

Otd North Statt. . Brevard, N. C., January 18.-Editora Courier: Through the kindness of my brother, F. 6. Hill, of Victoria, N. p.. I have the pldasure of looking at the familiar face of The Courier every week. The Courier ie the ttrat newspaper i loamed to read. I think my father, 8. YY. Hill, waa one of the first subscribers; away h ick in the early fifties is ray first recollection of it, aud it waa always a welcome visitor in my childhood home as well as later years. My father moved to the mountains from the Cbeohee Valley aud souled, where he had the advantage of flue range duriug the summer for atook of all kinds, and where the woods abouuded in game, such as deer, wild turkeys and occasionally bear and panther; aud aa my father was fond of hunting we were bountifully supplied with venison. We found the country almost a wilderness, with only a few settler? scattered about, with no roads or ohurohee or school houses, but my father, through his energy and iudustry, bad a house built for a sobool house and ch ure h combined, and my first sobool daya were spent in that little log house with an old man by tho name of Rutledge, from near Salem, S. C., for our teacher. He did uot spare the rod; he kept a hickory that would reach across the backs of his pupils without his leaving his seat. Our seats, you must remember, had no bucks, and we were all very obedient-through fear of that long hiokory. I was then in my tenth year, and there were no books in those days that wo oould get except the old "Hine Baok Speller," and we were kept in that book the whole ten months' term, and you may rest assured we learned it thoroughly. I could apell every word in it from memory at the close of the school. Writing paper was so hard to get that we did not take many lessons in writing. That was the last school I ever attended, but I was so fond of books that I took every opportunity to learn, and suoh papers as The Courier and Southern Christian Advooate were weekly visitors. The first impression I remember being made on my youthful mind was by the motto at the hoad of The Courier, and now you oan soarcely Hud a child tbat cares much about a newspaper. There are too many trashy novels to admit of sober reading by the young people. As tho years went by my fattie* built and opened up a boarding house for sum mer visitors, and although it brought with it a lot of hard work it was a great help and stimulus to the children of the familyl for in that way we met ninny nice people from South Carolina, among them the Hamptons and Haskells and many others. The war between tho States came up. and the sufferings of our kindred ana neighbor boys gave us all untold misery in that quiet, out-of-the-way place. I was then iu my nineteenth year and spent a great portion of my time knitting mufliers, gloves and oven wool caps for the poor soldier boys. That time is past and gone, and we ought to be thankful for peace and plenty, and that thoro is "no North, no ?outb," but one uuited ooiratry, with brotherly love to all. But my main desire in this communi cation was to speak of wbat my dear father did for that mountain country. I think it is due to him that some one should speak through the paper of these things. Through his efforts the Metho dist cirouit rider found us and we had preaching at that little log sobool house once a month, and there was a church organised with several members. My father's house was the preacher's home Find my dear mother always gave the best our house affordod to the preacher. Lest [ tire you and your many readers I will 'dose, with best wishes for your con tinued success. If this misses the waste basket I may come again and tell you lome thing of our growing little town of Poley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the great merit aud popularity of Foley's Honey md Tar many imitations are offered for the genuine. These worthless imitations lave similar sounding names. Beware >f them. The genuine Foley's Honey md Tar is in a yellow package. Ask for t and refuse any substitute. It is the jer.t romedy for coughs and colds. Brevard. S. Li. Norton. The Original. J. W. Boll.
