The mayor told him "We don't trouble about commas anc such like here." The inspector told one of the pupils tc write on the blackboard, "The mayoi of Ritze'buttel says the inspector is ar ass." "Now," he added, "put a comma after Ritzelbuttel and another after inspector." The pupil did so, and it is believed that the mayor has altered his opinior as to the value of commas.

CHESTER. 1 Lantern, September 26: There is a ! contest between the Wilksburg boys ' and the Olive boys as to which can ' catch the most foxes'. Sheriff Cornwell ' and the Wilksburg boys caught a fox last Wednesday night on Rocky creek 1 and brought one of its feet to this office as testimony. They say they don't 1 have to go on the sand hills wher? ! the foxes are lazy and dissipated, but ttiey can catch them in the up country. k They hear nothing of the Olive boys 1 catching any since they returned from the sand hills Greenville is clamoring for relief from the burden of dis pensary cases on the court dockets. 1 It is said that the expense far exceeds the revenue which the county gets from the dispensary. A county court has 3 been suggested, but some think that this would be too expensive, since under the law, it would require a full panel of grand and petit jurors. The plan which seems to be most favored is to secure an act of the legislature givt ing to magistrates jurisdiction in all dispensary cases except those that charge the keeping of a nuisance. The ? Record suggests the Columbia plan, viz., to have all the cases on the dockr et "nol prossed or dropped or otherwise disposed of without trial." Mrs. Hannah Wachtel died at her resr idence on Pinckney street this morning at half past one.

LANCASTER. i_ 'Ledger. September 27: After a brief e illness. Mrs. Mary Lucinda Robinson, >- wife of Mr. Richard T. Robinson, of the Sineeriety neighborhood, died last it Thursday, September 2f>, at 4 o'clock n a. m. Mrs. Robinson was the eldest ie daughter of the late Nathaniel J. Craig, e of this county. She was born November, 22, 1822, and was married to Mr. g R. T. Robinson, December 9, 1847. In December, 1897 they celebrated their k golden wedding. She was the mother it of five children, one daughter who died in infancy, and four sons, J. P., N. P., S. D. and W. D. Robinson, the three last named with their aged and esteemed father, survive. She also leaves 24 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Mrs. Robinson had been an invalid for more than 50 years. She was an estimable lady, devoted wife and mother, and lived an exemplary Christian life, having been a faithful member of Shiloh A. R. P. church for more ! than CO years A special from Oxford, Miss., September 24th, says: Will Matthis (white) and Orlando Lester (colored.) were hanged here today at noon for the murder of Deputy United States Marshals John A. and Hugh M. Montgomery. The crime was committed November 16 last, 15 miles from Oxford at Matthis's home, whither the officials had gone to arrest him for illicit distilling. The mutilated and charred bodies of the deputies were found in the ruins of the Matthis house the day after the intended raid. Matthis escaped to the swamps of the Yocona river, where for three days he successfully eluded a large posse with blood hounds. He was finally forced to surrender and Orlando Lester, the Negro, who was working for Matthis at the time the murder occurred, Bill Jackson, Geo. Jackson, Whit Owens, Matthis's father-in-law, and Mrs. Matthis also were arrested charged with complicity in the crime. Matthis and Lester made confessions which they later repudiated, but they were found guilty of murder, and sentenced to death. Whit Owens also was found guilty and will be hanged October 24. n A STDN Gastonia Gazette, September 26. Mary Jemima, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Fayssoux, died at 5.45 a. m., Wednesday, after a brief illness of only 14 days. She was taken ill with typhoid fever which resulted In peritonitis, the cause of her death. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock in St. Mark's Episcopal church, of which she was a member. The ceremonies were performed by the rector, Rev. D. T. Johnson, assisted by Dr. W. R. Wetmore, of Lincolnton. There was a large attendance at the funeral, many being unable to gain admittance. An impressive feature of the funeral was the attendance in a sorrow-stricken body of the little girl's schoolmates, 50 or 60 in number. The interment took place immediately afterwards in the city cemetery The rattlesnake story which recently appeared in the papers, served to remind one of The Gazette's old subscribers, who is also a prominent citizen of the town, of an experience he had with a rattler many years ago. "In the year 1837," he said, "I was attending school at the old Sugar Creek academy, three miles east of Char ' - J lotte. I was suurig unuei me suuue ??. a large tree near the school house one still, quiet morning, deeply absorbed in reading ^allust, when, accidentlaly raising my eyes, I saw directly in front of me and at a distance of only a few feet, a large rattlesnake. You can easily guess that I was not long in moving myself. The entire school, which was taught by Mr. Robert I. McDowell, turned out and we soon had the rattler killed. It was as large as my arm, had thirteen rattles and a button, and was several feet long, though I do not remember the exact measurements. Quite a number of rattlers had been killed on farms in the neighborhood and *it was afterwards discovered that they had a den under the floor of the old'Sugar Creek church, which was destroyed by fire during the Civil war. The church was a heavy brick structure and they came and j went through the ventilating holes' near the ground. This incident hap-! pened sixty-five years ago, but so vivid | were the Impressions maae mm. a | creepy sensation comes over me when I j think of the first sight I had of that snake." CHINA SET FOR WHITE HOUSE. Mr*. Roonevelt Selects n Pattern Tlint Will be Appropriate For the Mansion. A new China service will be used in the White House after January 1, at all state dinners. The China service now in use was purchased during the Hayes administration and many pieces have been broken. When Mrs. Hayes selected this service it was regarded as the handsomest in the United States. It cost $25,000 and was designed by Theodore R. Davis. The decorations illustrate exclusively American fauna and flora. It was manufactured by Haviland & Co., of Limoges, France. The designs were made in water color. They were difficult to reproduce on porcelain with hard mineral colors, and to successfully accomplish this it was necessary to invent new methods. The service was made to be used particularly for state occasions and all who have seen it have been struck with its ucauij. But when Mrs. Roosevelt became the mistress of the White House the first j thing that struck her was that the set was not what might be called distinctly a White House set, and she wanted to leave something behind her that would be suitable to the mansion. She sent for Mr. Charles M. Van Heusen, of the firm of Van Heusen & Co., of Albany, and told him what she wished, and she commissioned him to visit the principal China factories of the world and select samples. Mr. Van Huesen found great difficulty in deciding on a proper emblem for this new service. He looked at the seal the president uses in stamping official documents, but found that it would not do, as it could hardly be distinguished from those used by commissioners of deeds, justices of the peace or notaries public. The American flag would hardly do, for although it was highly essential that the national colors should be on the service, yet the flag alone would not suffice. After much deliberation on the subject it was finally thought best to use the Great Seal of the United States as the coat of arms of the United States. A few months ago, Mr. Van Heusen submitted to Airs. Roosevelt and her husband for their approval, 78 different samples of China service. So beautiful were the designs that it was a hard matter to make a selection and a number of conferences were necessary. The samples ranged in price from $18,000 to $.">0,000, and were gems of the ceramic art. The collection consisted of deep rich reds, beautiful blues and yellows, Rose du Barries and the different shades of green, to the very simplest treatments that can be imagined. Mrs. Roosevelt called in the president to help her make the selection, and he, manlike, left the matter to her. The most expensive designs did not appeal to her, and she selected one of the simplest and cheapest of the samples. It is a simple colonial pattern in gold, with the observe or front of the Greatest Seal of the United States enamelled in color as the decorative feature. It is being made by Wedgwood, the famous English potter. This will be the first time that the Great Seal has been usee, distinctively as a decoration for the White House China and will undoubtedly attract considerable attention. The pattern is intended exclusively for the White House and has been copyrighted. Mrs. Roosevelt said she wanted a perfect set and did not want the work hurried; that if the more time spent on the set would make it more perfect she wanted all the time that could be given to it. For that reason months have been expended on the set so far and it will not be completed until January, when it will be delivered to the White House.?Albany Dispatch. Blazing Ice Cream.?Joseph Jefferson tells a story of dramatic "business" in the earlier days of the Walnut Street theatre in Philadelphia, "Camille" was being played, and all was going with intensity, says the New York Times. Then came a scene between Camille and Armand, in the course of which a servant was to enter with lights. "In those days," says Mr. Jefferson, "sea island cotton was stage ice cream just as molasses and water was stage wine, sherry or port, according to the proportion of molasses. Armand and Camille were seated at the table where they had been enjoying such viands as these, and their dialogue was making the very best sort of an impression on a crowded house. Then in came that maid servant with the wabbliest sort of candelabra. The scene was so engrossing that she was scarcely noticed, but when she set down her burden between the lovers and one candle toppled out and put the ice cream in a blaze?well, the strain was broken. The entire audience burst into a laugh, and the curtain had to be rung down." ULCERS Old Sores Cancers Q Thin, Diseased, Impure Blood, Bu:np> Boils, Bating Sores, Scrofula, Eruj tions, Eczema.

No manufacturing industry stands so close to the farmer as the cotton seed oil mills. The interest of the two are mutual and inseparable. A very large part of the products of the oil mills is now returned to the farm and practically all of it in some form can be utilized. The mill provides a profitable market for the surplus seed, and returns the product to the farmer, with greatly enhanced value in a finished condition. While the larger part of the business between the mill and the farmer is conducted on a basis of barter and exchange, it does not actually differ much in results from the toll system of the corn mill. The oil mill purchases the seed in the open market, and sells its products in the same way, but ultimately, all of the hulls and meal should get back a 4sn rma frnm whlnh tVlA Qppd WPTP shipped. While this is now the result in many cases, it is not as common or general as the practice should be. Every pound of these two products produced in the South should be returned to the land, either as fertilizer applied direct, or stock feed, the latter much to be preferred, as their value in that way is immensely increased. About 1830 a cotton seed oil mill was established at Columbia, S. C. The historian of the time only considered it of sufficient importance to congratulate the "public-spirited" citizen who had enterprise enough to establish the business, but did make the further comment that the owner "expressed from cotton seed a very fair grade of edible oil." No further reference is made to this beginning of the business, and it can only be inferred that the improper handling of the product, or the prejudices of the people against this "edible oil," prevented it from being successful. In 1860 Aldlgee found thousands of tons of seed dumped on the commons, and placed under guard to prevent the cows from eating them, as they were regarded as poisonous to cattle. From such conditions has grown a magnificent industry that has added millions to the value of Southern farms, increased the traffic of the railroads, established an immense foreign trade with this country, earned fair returns for its promoters, while giving employment to thousands of men at remunerative wages, many of whom otherwise would be idle at the season when their work is required at the m\Us. Ir? all of this development the greatest benefits have been derived by the farmers. The mills have taken the seed which prior to their establishment, were either lost entirely or wastefully used, and converted them into valuable products, easily and economically handled, resulting in the cheaper production of crops, and Increased yields per acre. Raising and fattening cattle has been one of the interesting features of this development. The fattening of cattle in the South for market, outside, perhaps, of the Texas ranges, was unknown before the extensive use of cotton seed hulls and meal. At present, almost every neighborhood is raising a few head of cattle for the butcher on this feed, and in many sections, numbers of cattle are being fattened in this way. As this business increases it will be followed by the erection of nacking houses in the South with all the advantages of such industries Any land-owner can make fattening cattle profitable. It has been chemically demonstrated, sustained by practical tests that the droppings from cattle fed on cotton seed meal is equal in feeding value to the meal itself applied directly to the land. No other feed has any such comparative value. When this is considered, the immense advantages derived by the farmers from the establishment of cotton seed oil mills is realized even if no other benefits accrue, but when the abundance and cheapness of hulls is considered, and their value to the farmer and feeder recognized, some idea is given of the splendid work and advantages the other . mills have accomplished towards the development of Southern agriculture. In almost any season; regardless of the price of seed and products, the mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Mill Company of the Carolinas and Georgia will give back to the farmers all of the meal and hulls produced from the seed in exchange for tne seea, reserving only the oil, and small amount of short lint to cover transportation charges, cost of working, interest on investment and profits. No more liberal division of the profits between manufacturers and consumer has ever been accomplished. It makes the business cooperative, returning to the farmer all that is of any value to him, in a greatly improved condition, and consequently greatly increased in value, and leaving with the mill only that part of the seed universally regarded as detrimental in its natural condition, either as a. feed or fertilizer, from which the mill must realize all of its expenses, including cost of working. The oil is converted at the refineries in Savannah into pure and wholesome substitutes for lard, known as "Palmatina" and "Snowdrift," and is given back to the consumers' table as a delicacy at a low price, or as a pure cooking oil, as Wesson Cooking Oil. The refuse or waste from the refined oil is made into a soap, and sold back at a cost that places it in the reach of the poorest. The lint is made into quilts, pillows and mattresses and sold at a price that makes it possible for the bed-rooms of the humblest cottage to be comfortably furnished. In buying or raising cattle to be fattened on hulls and meal, every effort should be made to secure good beefproducing breeds. A prominent and successful packer is authority for the statement that the improved breeds will sell on foot for three times as much as the common stock. The consumption of beef in the South far exceeds any previous period. It can be met by home production if Southern farmers will use all the hulls and meal made by the oil mills, without drawing on the West. At present only about one-fourth of the cotton seed meal is consumed wnere n is produced for feeding and fertilizing crops, the balance finding a market either in Europe or in the Eastern or Western States. The cotton oil industry has been developed when It was most needed by the people of the South, especially by , the Southern Cotton Oil Company, which has mills throughout the South and general headquarters at Columbia. S. C., Goldsboro, N. C.. Charlotte. IVC., Atlanta, Ga., and Savannah and Augusta, Ga Its only danger is in being over-done. It should get to such proportions as to have the crushing capacity run ahead of the production of seed, or the production of oil ' increase faster than the consumption, the results would be disastrous both to the mill owners, and to the farmers. It is a business requiring a high order of commercial intelligence for its successful continuance, and it is manifestly to the interests of the manufacturer and to tne rarrier 10 Keep u wen wimin reasonable bounds.
