For a lone' time, the meal and hulls, now so highly valued, were considered almost as waste products. The name “Oil mills’'—given to th* various plants erected for work ing tin-raw material—indicate that oil was the one product chiefly sought for. Oil they still yet, and it is val uable in its varied uses, hut the meal, and even the hulls are not to be despised. When, eight or ten years ago, a gentleman in Rome Ga., produced at the fair the fattest steer on the grounds, the surprise was great when he informed the anthorities that the fat beef was fed on cotton seed hulls, simple and pure. Hut the world moves slowly along new lines. Though demonstrated and shown be yond contradiction that hulls were good for feeding to cattle, it was so counter to their notions that “con vinced against their wills, they arc of flu- same opinion still. and far mers continued to feed corn and peas and bran and cotton seed, be- caust—they were used to it. And a good many are not yet satis fied that, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls tire the best, and cheapest and cleanest food that we can give our cows. —- when, in some sections raised for the lint alone. r were built near some eon- m S.S stream into which were 7 the useless seed to get them l the way. Now. what a change! 4he seed that pays for the pick- /f the crop. After extracting the ,'which forms the base for so many Jiable combinations used by house- Jc. we have left the essential ingre- B-el for the best of fertilizers, and 0 longer have the hulls to be burned prevent an accumulation as a ready market is found for all—there is no waste. How does this concern us? .lust this. We must have u cotton seed oil mill here in Gaffney. Why not. GatTney is the geograph ical centre uf a large and prosperous section running north and south. Having a mill here, will not only pay the investors, but will be a blessing to the entire community. More cotton will be brought lu re to he marketed. Less guano will be brought in from other towns. We will have more and better beef and butter and cheese. And wi will be adding to our already numerous attractions. Will some one start the ball? r i u-ual Hoiitelh in the house and Frye in t he semi! e male I he attack even be fore official papers are furnished upon which to base an opinion. President Cleveland is lu ver caught napping hy his wary, political opponents. The denunciations hurled so bitterly against president and cabinet could find a better resting place on their own bands. American residents will be protected in life and property by U. S. troops if the ruling authorities are not able to save them from insult and loss. The fact is, the smoldering fires are burning beneath the surface, and a newspaper article or a flying rumor are substantial enough on which to base an attack against the powers that be, just because they do not think end act to suit New England. TURKEY IN EUROPE. The recent massacres among the Armenians, a people subject to Turk ish rule, brings up the quest ion, why European powers permit the Turk to retain a foothold on the Mediter ranean. He is an intruder and an enemy to progress and civilization. During a t ime of dissension,he forced his way until for centuries he holds the key to the East. Under such circumstances there has been an adjustment, and the balance of power among the European nations is maintained on that basis. Were Turkey’s power overthrown, which nation would come in for flic coveted prize of Constantinople? and thus own the highway into the heart of Asia? That is just the question that won’t admit of settlement. It would bo too great an accession of power for any one. and yet. unlike Poland, it cannot be partitioned. Thus the Turk remains, a blot on civlization, a source of constant an no! fearing God and regard- noyance ing not man. INSTI- COOPER-LIMESTONE TUTE. The improvements on the building ut Limestone are beginning to make a show. The massive and well built walls have been utilized to the best advantage. The interior has been completely changed, and is of entirly new material. The plan for the new building or annex, that is to project in front of tin* present one, lias already been agreed upon hy the directors, and specifications are being prepared by the architect preparatory to receiving bids from contractors. While we are pursuing the even tenor of our way at Gaffney, wo hardly are awar^ '<*/ going’on so near us. This is valuable property and could not hi 1 better located for the educa tion of young ladies, its nearness to our town makes it very important to us. GENERAL M. C. BUTLER. It is with pleasure wo learn that General Mutler Spartanburg for gaging in tIn wo intends moving to the purpose of en- i tract ice of law. Very seldom is if that one gives up readily the habits formed during a j long term of political life and settles down in a quiet town to resume the ! business of former days. General Hutler has served his state j and country well, in peace and in war, j and is ready for any emergency. We , are glad that Spartanburg has drawn him to her. If may be that the gen- ; era! has had enough of public life, and willingly leaves Washington, where t he pulse heats quickly, to en joy a needed rest after the battle is over. Spartanburg is a good place to live in. She is quiet, substantial and progressive. PRESS OPINION.

[Correspondence of Tiik Lkhokk. | Etta Jank, Jan. 22.—The weather for the past week has been very changablc and we have had a little of all kinds of weather during the last forty-eight hours. A good many people have colds and some symp toms of la grippe are in the neigh- borhot >d. Most all our farmers have begun operations for another crop. Nearly all of them promise to reduce their acreage of cotton this year, but we have heard so many such promises that we have no faith in many of them. The fact is, each man is try ing to get his neighbor to quit in or der that he may have a better chance himself. There is no consistency in the sayings and doings of many of them, and the result is a downhill lending all the time. Our free schools are all in opera tion now. I think. Miss Alice Lit tlejohn is teaching at Star Farm, Miss Olive McKown at Wilkinsville, and Mr. W. J. Wofford has charge of the Abingdon Creek school. Rev. Mr. Edmunds preached at Abingdon Creek last Sabbath. His text was “Thy kingdom come”—Mat thew <>: 10.

HARK UliriEDY CO., boston, Mass., Valuable For the South. *"*o fur as our observation goes, the Manufacturers’ Record, published at Baltimore, stands upon a unique ped estal, and the question presents it self, Does the South appreciate what this publication isdoing for it?” The journal carries broadcast over the country each week information, valuable and desirable, concerning the section whose interest it has so completely at heart. The North lias no such publication, the West lias not, nor the Northwest, the South west, the New England States, the Middle States, nor thejj Pacific slope, yet there can he no question that these sections would be benefited through efforts similar to those which have made the Manufaet urers’ Record so influential and valuable. Coming, as it does, as a weekly visitor in the Free Press office, we are prepared to attest the hold its recitals of what is doing in a manu facturing and industrial way in the South take upon the reader. These recitals create an entirely new im pression concerning a section of the country that the Free Press has more than once recommended to those seeking a new home. Even to those acquainted in a general way with the advantages—climate, soil, mineral deposits, water power, accessibility— of the various states and the improvo- ments recently made, the intelligence brought each week is surprising, and strengthens the belief that the tide has turned for the South, and that it is the section of this great country towards which emigration is turning in a way that indicates marked changes ere the close of the cen tury. TheSouth is gathering to itself a great variety of new people, each of whom goes there to follow some chosen occupation. The Northern truck farmer is dividing space with the native cotton grower, and the vineyard is springing up alongside. The textile worker journeys south in the same car with the iron moulder, while capital from the North and West is carried down to be invested in phosphate and cotton oil industries. Mechanics, machinists and lumber men are finding new homes, and tradespeople follow them with their wares. New towns are springing up, and old ones are growing into cities, and cities are gaining in population. The South is unqiioslionably growing, audit is safe to assert that nearly twice ns many people are moving thither from the North and West to day as there were live years ago. With this growth the Manufacturers’ Record has much to do, and its serv ices in behalf of the South deserve special mention, particularly so as the service is in the cause of a better condition of things generally.—[Free Press.

Lne Ave., with rttage and good with splendid H lots near cotton Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Baking, Powder Absolutely pure The Land of the Sky and Beyond. The Forum for January, under the title of “The Land of the Sky and Beyond,” contains an eloborate and copiously illustrated article from the pen of Mr. Frank Presbrey, describ ing a recent trip over the lines of the Southern Railway, which is a mine of minute information for southern trav elers, giving a sketch of every place of resort, town, city and of all the leading hotels. Asheville, which is aptly termed “The Land of the Sky,” is fully and graphically described, as are the resorts of Florida. It may surprise many readers to learn from Mr. 1’resbrey’s article that the south now possesses a great railroad system owned by one corporation, of which Mr. Samuel Spencer is president, em bracing about thirty different roads, with 4,t580 miles of track, with a single management, under the name of “The Southern Railway,” and reaching every part of the south and southwest. Among the roads em braced in this great system are the Richmond and Danville and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. Mr. Presbrey has done full justice to a very difficult task, and hisarticlc is not only readable from the fact that it possesses literary and descriptive merit of a high order, but because of the full information it gives of great value to those who contemplate a trip to the south for either health, pleasure or business. The Southern Railway has had Mr. Presbrcy’s interesting article neatly bound in pamphlet form and a copy can be had by enclosing a 5-eent stamp to W. A.
