The Cotton Stalk-Fiber Machine Com pany Organized, A me°tinE of the subscribers to the capital stock of the Cotton Stalk FI her Machine Company, was held in the cltv ha 1 la^t Friday. Col. T. R Rut'er was called to the chair. Mr. .1. I,. Daniels stated the object of th - * ’neetinE, which in brief, was to ef feet the organization of a stock com pany for the purpose of building a machine to extract the fiber from the cotton sta k and to mal:-e paner from the pulp. It was found that fifty-six persons had subscribed to the stock Tt was ascertained that at least three hundred subscrlb ts were necessary to nu«h the matte’* alonR. After Mr. Danje's had detailed his pans Mr I.. Raker moved that a temporary or trani/.ation be affected. Tha motion prevailed and the following officers were elected: .1 N. Nesbitt, president: T-. Raker, vice president; N H. Littlejohn, sec rotary and treasurer. A motion to the effect that th n of ficers e’ected anpoint a soliciting com mittee to solicit the remainder of the stock prevailed. Every man present n'etisred himself to work for the en terprise. It is understood that this is to be an experiment and no one is going to h n misled in the matter The money raised will be used in building an ex nerimental machine. Shou’d this ma chine prove what is expected of it then th a manufacture of the machines on a large scale will he inaugurated. It was agreed that those who sub scribed to the stock to build the ex perimental machine were to he credit ed the amount of their stock on any purchase of stock to the permanent organization in the event the machine should prove successful. Mir. Daniels has demonstrated the fact that there is a very good oua'ity of couarse fiber to bo obtained from the cotton sta'k. He has samples of the fiber in his possession. TTnques tionable a very good pulp for the manufacture of paper can also be ob ♦ained from the stalk. The success of this machine means another source of revenue to the Southern cotton grower, as it means a market for his cotton stalks. In fact there will be no other p’ant so valuable as the cot ton plant should the ideas of the in ventor prove practicable, for then the cotton plant will be a Commercial commodity in its entirety, the cotton, the seed and the stalk. For many years the seed o fthe cot ton Plant was thrown away, except that which was needed for a new cron. Then it was found to be a fairlv good feed for stock, or con'd be used in compost. Now the cotton seed mills crush out the oil. separate th" hul's from the meal The oil has a commercial value, the hulls make better feed than the entire seed, and th^* meal is used for feed purposes and for compost. The new way is far better than the old way, to say nothing of the revenue the farmer gets from the send. In like manner it is proposed to make the cotton stalk, now an abstmetion and a hin drance to the n’anter. a thing of com mercial value hv the aid of machinery. Every farmer should be interested and it might be worth his while to 'ook into the matter and nush it along by helping to bni'd the first machine. Mrs. Spake Dies of Heart Disease.

On their return to 'he city they will take up their abode for the present with the parents of Mrs. Carson. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Worth Little. She is a pronounced brnnette of striking ap pearance, possess s a most amiable disposition and is a great favorite with her social set.
