t?r There was a jovial party at th
cotton exchange a few days ago, oc
casioned by the return of several buy
ers who had made an extended tri
through the cotton belt. Geo. Amerldg
said that while riding out from Savan
nah on horseback he saw a typica
southern matron outside a whitewashes
cabin, while on the lawn in front i
bevy of colored children were playing
There were eight of them altogethei
seven of the number being very ver;
dark, while the eighth one was ligh
complexioned.
"You've got some fine looking child
ren there, aunty," he said.
" 'Deed I hab, boss," she replied
"Dere ain't any better pickaninnies ii
de whole state of Georgia den dat firs
seben, but dat eight one, dat mulatto
she done make me more trouble dan d<
whole Oder seben put together."
"In what way?" I asked, and she re
plied:
" 'Cause she done show dirt so easy!'
A Comma For Revgnge.?Lately in i
small town in Germany the school in
spector arrived on his tour of inspectioi
too soon after his last visit, to pleas*
the mayor, who was asked to accom
pany him, says an exchange.
"I should like to know why this as*
has come again so soon?" muttered th<
mayor to himself, as he put on his hat
The inspector overheard the remark
but pretended to ignore it, and was
soon busy examining the pupils ir
punctuation. 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.

for relief from the burden of dis

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

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."

THE ADVANTAGES WHICH ACCRUE
TO THE FARMER.
Some of the Profit He Realizes by the
Establishment of Cotton Seed Oil Mills.
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
