In Memoriam.
In the death Mn. Sallie I il vi agaton
Stribling, * bright, accomplished and
lovable woraau is elooerely mourned.
The young, the beautiful aud the good
are often called to answer the dread
summons, and while for' her life bad
many attiactions with full promise of
fruitful years of domestic happiness and
social pleasure, while to our fiuite mind
her early departure i? shrouded iu mys
tery, while those near and dear ?tagger
under the sudden blow, yet wo know
they sorrow not as those who have ut?
hope, lier gentle bearing, sweet diann
.itioo, deep affection aud abiding raith
remain asa nub legaoy for the solace I
and the comfort of those who are so -ly
grieved. Boru and reared in a borne of
culture aud refinement, the graoes of |
body and mind, which adorn true and
'" fe womanhood, were highly devel
, d. Though modest, unassuming and
'tiring even in disposition, she waa a |
great social favorite and made fast
friendo of th oap who knew her.
Endowed with superior, natl ve talent,
she applied herself with diligeuce lu the
pursuit of knowledge. In 1801 ahe
graduated fi om Drew College, New Yolk,
at the head of her class, winning the
{>rize for the best essay. She delighted
n the study of literature, and wrote
.inverai articles of exceptional merit for
religious and literary journals.
She was a devoted member of the
Presbyterian church and an earnest
Christian worker. But iu the midst of
her youthful years, so full of bright
hopes and laudable aspirations, she has
been callento cease from labor aud come
up higher.

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.

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

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.

Ir.teresllny Loiter from th? 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.

Millions of farmers have policies in the

ties are being exposed by tho investigat
ing committee in New York. Tho dis
closures show that the funds of the
policy holders have been squandered in a
most criminal way to feed a lot of dis
honest offioials, and for all sorts of dis
reputable speculations. Think of those
fellows payiug themaelvea and mombors
of their family salaries ranging nil the
