Imk-bt<:dnen?> Ih acknowledged by the Kdltor to frloudM in South Curo Itnu for u clipping from the Camden Chronicle of recent date of an article by Lola II Adams. credited to the Atlanta .Journal, claiming for l<auncolot Johnstone, u planter m ar Madison, lu that aiatu, the honor of having operated the ft in t cotton oil mill In the country. Ah no definite date Ih mentioned In the article when Mr. JohnHionc eatubliHhed hla mill, other than the Inference to be drawn from the atatetnent that "between 1 HBO and 1 k:i2 he wuh granted an exclusive patent for a cotton?eed huller, the MrHt device of itn kind ever conatructed." the claim for Mr. Johnstone may he questioned. I'rece<llng the above Htatement the article liHelf Haya: "There are complete and exact records of an oil 'mill erected in 1802 at Columbia, 8. C. Tiila mill whh operated by Benjamin Warren." It Ih probable that "1X02" a typographical error and Hhould have reutf "1X22," and that thf* name 'Warren wan hIho an error. Miles Register Htates that Benjamin Wuring built a vViill In 1X20 at Columbia for extracting oil from cotton Heed. The same publication In 1X20 stated thai Kruncis Pollen at PetorHburtp, Va., was operuting a cotloiiHeed oil mill ami bad recently obtained u patent for "bulling and husking" the need. Oil extracted from cotton seed, according to definite recordw, was Hold commercially in Providence, It. I.,- in 1 x 1 x, at X0 centH a gallon, doing back Htlll farther, records exiHt of the granting of a patent In Washington In 1X14 to J. l',lnebach of Salem, for a device for bulling cotton seed preparatory to extracting oil from the kernels, and also that in 1799 C. Whiting obtained a patent In Washington for a process for extracting oil from cotton seed. In Knglaud, at Gloucester, Foster Brothers bud a mill successfully producing cottonseed oil as early as 1725. It is delluitely known that In 1X22 there was a cotton oil mill on an island nour Savannah, Ga., and the fact that at Natchez, Miss., a mill was established in 1X24 is well known. All honor to those 'pioneers, including Mr. Johnstone, who discovered and exploited the riches lu the seed of the cotton plant in those early days. It seems that ti number of men of vision were thinking along the same lines at about the same time. Wlio was tin' lirst will probably remain forever a mooted question. Cotton Oil Press BACKBONE Whatever else may he said of President Roosevelt he has displayed remarkable courage in his persistent veto of the soldier bonus. The overwhelming vote in its favor by the lower house of Congress, and nearest the people, aeeeuluates the president's backbone. The congressmen are as scared of the soldier vote us they are of a tornado. The writer for one, as the head of the local exemption board fought more war than thousands of the soldiers. However, we are not considered ex-soldlers and will never draw a dime in pensions for service or disabilities, but we favor payment for several reasons. Millions are being wasted in other lines. The Spanish War. with the exception of tainted beef, was little more than a skirmish and free trip to Cuba. Yet every soldier in that escapade- Is drawing a pension. Wars are usually fought for greed, and brought on by those who never smell gun powder. They do the profiteering, till the swivel chair, and fat offices, and get big pensions after it Is over. The privates who spill the blood, if saved, deserve their share of the loot. Calhoun Times.

W?t?-rwork? Structures Old Waterworks structures have existed from the earliest periods of civilization, and remains have been found in many prehistoric ruins. Those of Lake Moerls in Kgypt, are believed to date from 1100 B. C. l'hese were the largest reservoirs in the Nile valley. In India waterworks and reservoirs were In existence centuries before the Christian era. There are also numerous biblical references to such strucj tures. The water supply of Rome was ' one of the marvels oj' ancient times.

HITTING THE SPOT ? i Be aure the people never confer but one "mandate" at a time. If you hute the thought of owiug money, you won't make debt*. Flrat thing made aure of at a family reunion la plenty to eat, There la a way to get an appetite. Go without food. Huabanda ahould be tender?but not soft, a The love of money Is the sign of good sense. We are for magnificence In architecture, not mere utility. Is culture a development of one's nature or an acquisition? The most Infuriating assumption Is that everybody likes crooning. The hands reveal character; particularly If they are not kept clean. A too busy man and a too busy wornini are likely to be exasperating. The prodigal son came of a good family. That Is why he came back. Destructive criticism Is comparatively easy; anyone can make objections. Perhaps one is happiest when he Is getting well of a sickness that scared hlrn. Dentists, It Is said, shonld alwifys be tactful. But many get on people's nerves. Sports are among the most Innocent wuys of enjoying life and of making it dramntlc. When a revolution upsets things It requires conservative men to bring order out of chaos. A dollar n word is not paid because what 1s written Is worth it, but because millions will read It. We cannot mold and control the materials of our outward environment till we have learned to master ourselves. Cleopatra Sleep* Elsewhere About :>o years ago the story got out in Paris that the' mumtny of Cleopatra, ancient Egyptian queen, had been placed on exhibit ion in the national library in Paris, France. It could not be proved where, how and by whom the rumor was starred, but crowds began to come to tlie mummy. Curators in the library asked newspapers to deny the story, which they did, but still the curious ones canto in spite of till efforts at squelching this rumor. Visitors still call at the Paris library and ask to see the ancient mummy. No matter from what part of the world tourists come, all seem to have hoard this story and go away disn|>polnted when told they are the victims of a half-century-old hoax.?Capper's Weekly. Make "Glass" From Tar Candlesticks, powder boxes, salt cellars and trays ure made in Wales of a new plastic material, or synthetic resin, derived from black coal tar, which is as clear and transparent as glass, half as heavy and apparently quite unbreakable. Articles made from the material are on view at the Cardiff engineering exhibition, and these seem' to boar out the claim that the matei inl Is the nearest approach to glass In transparency that lias as yet been produced. It is also more elastic than glass. Charcoal to Teit Gas Masks Charcoal for use in gas masks is now obtained solely front coconut shells.
