The imparlance of wood pulp i.Ue

statement Usued by the United S a ea
fiflw.t products laboratory 'ai Madison,
Wis,, discussing III* I'tiur (KIIUIK M la
pi <>< ' s'.cs Of rnaking paper pulp from
wood. Tlit^e are known a* the ground
wood, the Rulphita, the sulphate and
the soda processes. Each is espep nU
ly adapted to the manufacture of cur
tain grades of .paper or to the pulping
of certa n v.oo^s.

is i)y far Mit- greatest The quality of
vite pulp, however, is so low that even
'.M 1 !<c:'.p i ; v' 1 8 ii Ut not .strong
t nougfh to use alono and considerable
quantities of longer and stronger fi
lled pulp.muat bo added. The woods
that are suitable for the manufacture
of mechanical pulp are very few in
number . Only two or three woods,
such as i he long-tibered, light-colored,
Mi ? ii r? a i : i >i u balsam and spruces, arc
Used now enough to bo considered
commercial sources of groundwood
Very hard woods, the statement
points out, are unsuitably for |ho
groundwood processes, because too
much power is required to grind them,
lhuk-colored woods are not desirable
because the color of the wood is di
rectly reflected in the color of the pa
per. Pitch, knots and decay all cause
considerable discoloration and lower
the quality of the pulp.
The. stronger and. better, grade pa
pers arc made of pulps nianufaetur eT
by one of three chemical processes
sulphite, sulphate or soda. In each of
Ihese processes a large portion of the
wood known as lignin is removed.
This is accomplished by cooking chips
of the wood with a chemical under
steam pressure in a specially de
signed cooker or digester
Some classes of book, wrapping,
bond ami tissue papers are made
largely from sulphite pulp, <ind con
siderable sulphite is used in ground
wood papers. The sulphite process
is a little more expensive than the
others, and the pulp yield is only
about half as large a:-; in t he ground
wood process; but the pulp is very
'.Strong and can be bleached t c> a high
degree of whiteness. The woods used
with the sulphite process are the long
libered non-resinous softwoods, such
as spruce, balsam and hemlock.
The chemical used is calcium ? bisul
phite, formed by the action of sulphur
dioxide gas on limo.
^ Kraft or "wrapping paper and high
test fiber board are made from sul
phate pulp, this process being a little
less expensive than the sulphite and
yielding about the same amount of
pulp. The chemical used is a mixture
of sodium hydroxide or caustic soda
and sodium sulphide . Sulphate J>ulp
is usually unbleached, but in paper
making experiments at the forest
products laboratory it has bean found
that it can readily be bleached. This
development, it is stated, extends use
of the sulphate process and of such
woods as the Southern pine to the
manufacture of high grade book, mag
azine imd writing papers
Hooks, lithograph and envelope pa
pers are very often made from a mix
ture of sulphite pulp and pulp made
by the soda process. This mixture
gives an opaque, well-felted and well
j formed sheet of paper which is high
I Iv esteemed by the printer.
"Dend" Negro Comes To Life.
The dead hns come to life, and Titus
Hicks, colored, who "died from the
results of wounds on the head sus- 1
tained in a fight with another negro
last summer, tc-appeared Monday at |
the offices of Swift & Co., where he
had been employed, and asked for his
'? old job bark. He seems to be as well
J as ever although he states that he has
I been desperately ill in Richmon 1 j
' win re hi- went after being wounded,
j One night last July Titus and an
! other negro got into a fight and Hicks
shot the other negro who in turn
j broke ofT a knife blade in Titus' head.
! Thinking that he had killed the negro,
I Hi(ks left on the first train and went
j to Richmond, and the next day man
; agor Tyson of Swift & Co., received
a telegram that the negro had died,
hut an investigation of the case led
itim to believe that the statement was
; incorrect.
However, nothing more was heard
i from the negro until he showed up
on Monday morning and applied for
his old job. ? Florence Daily Times.

DOG TAX.
I wisn to call special attention to
the dog license tax, which can be paid
from October 15th, 1923, to February
1st, 1924. (February 1st, 1924, is the
last day for the payment of this tax.)
The license tax on each dog is $1.25,
and I now have the license tags to
supply owners of dogs when paying
their license tax. A dog is liable to
this tax if six months old or older on
January 1st. (A dog born June 30th,
923, is liable to the tax January 1st,
1924.)
This is in lieu of all other taxes
or licenses on dogs, either county, mu
nicipal or otherwise
Dog license tax issued by the
Treasurer should bear *he Inscription
"Dog License 1924," also show the
serial number and county. This is not
charged on the Auditor's Duplicate,
nor carried on the odinary tax re
ceipt. Separate receipt necessary.
