. Hi. AUL'i. EDITOR. AT (ILNN '1RIN0a. Glenn Springs, Jilly 4, 1901. Titeslav iiglt the Soutli Carolina State I're,cs Associatiloln was called to order at this totsious health-giving resort. The atttnlduce at the litst inteeting was the largest in a good mtaiy yeats, and every one of the editors here seets to he glad that :h is at this nieetiig. The proprie tors of G leti t's, the Mlessrs. Simpson, have shown them that they were welcone antd that they were glad to have them her". '1'uesday night the address of welcome was delivered by )r. Geo. B. Cromner, of Newberry, on the part of the Alessrs. Simpson. 1)r. Cronter's welcome address Was delivered in that happy and yet forceful annncr which is always shown by hin in an) of his relnarks, and lie was closely listened to, as he always is. lie thought the deadest town ill anly State was the town that could not or would not support a newspaper, antd the newspaper is always a sure index of the prosperity of a town. Ile had a warm place in his heart for the editors. Itn fact ie was an ex-editor hitiself, having lc. su icceeed by the l'resident of t- iu ass'ciatiO as eiti: ''tII rTFNet.wberry ..rt N News. I Ie spoke eloquently of the power of the press, and especially the weekly press, though somnetiunes sarcas tically spelled weakly, in moulding pub. lie opinion and also its power for good or for evil as the case might be. Il conl chudling, lie again, on the part of the pro prietors, extended the representatives of the press of South Carolina a hearty l l'resident Atill responded +ii it few words on lialf of the Association, and called ipon :Mir. HIartwell M. Ayer, of the Florence Daily 'Titnes, who also re spotnded on behalf of the editors. The 'residett read his annual report as follows: PR1'.lll"I1;N''Ts Rl1PoReT. It is a pleasutre to greet you ini the first tnnual session of our association in the new cctt.,.":. The century just closed has been one of great results in all de par tientsI of intdustry, of science, of art, and of invention, ani in no lepartiet of inventive geniis has there been greater strides than in the developmient of the :lt of pi inting. 0one of the niemubers of our association have been able to witness the oleater part of this evolution iron the Washington haud press to the great perfecting presses and the typesetting rachine, anid vet they ttre theiselves anlonig the young nbiers, if not ill cears, inl vigor of intellect and inl energy .nd eiitlsiasim ini their work. The pos aihilities before us are great and the pre:; eitt aiid tile fnture hold 'or us opportuni ties of usefulness and for doing good far greater than those which were presented half a century ago, if we will but grasp them. This development, while it holds great opportuIities, also creates sharp comtpeti tion and deunands close application anud active industry to relain in the race. Th'le newspaper workers oIf Somhi Caro huia hlave kept patce with the march of' prlogre'ss :iiul stanid the peels ci ally in this counitry. Th'lere is no0 class of people whol( do as Inuch to further the Iiaterial devek>pluenit amid growth of their respec tive coinunn it ies. There is nio class (of mleni who do mlore for the moral up~liftinlg of the people than the editors, T'hey are conistaiit aiid regular in) all good works and forciost ini every' llovemnent for tile be2tternllettt of hlitilanlity. They ale patienit andI lonlg-sufferinig and( unsel fish. They lab)or for the good of the coniuunity whether they receive aniy direct beiiefit or nIot. It falct, unlike the prudeiit busi neCss liuan, theiy (10 not stop to cons5iderl or to inquiire if there is to be a dlOllar contI inig back into their owni pockets. It is too ofteni thte case that thle dlollar never colies inito their pocket at all. Butt if the object of life is service and( to (do good regairdless of the ituoney there is in it to thlemt tile)y are fulfilling the diviine pur' pose in their lives. If ant eniterprise is proposed for the good1 of the communtliity thte average country editor never stopls to consider whether or not there is to be any direct benefit to himt fromt it, but lie goes right ahleadl andi spendls his enlergy and1( his time to help it alonIg. It is all right for the editor to be tun selfish, and to spend imself iln doinIg good. It is a great virtue to serve others anId to work for the COmmlionl weal, espe cially Inl this commilercial age wheni every thing is niensured by the dollar, .tid a linan's~ success ill life is counlted aind esti imated bly thle numiuber of dollars lie is -ablle to accumlalllite. It is possible, hIow ever, that somie of uis place too little value upon our labors and do not look closely enloulgh after thte dollar anid place too little value upjoni our space, which is ini reality ouru merchandise anid our stock 111 trade. The fact is, I fear somletimles, that somec of us permit ourselves to be mnere door mats for the community and the commtunity gets in the habit of sitm. ply uising us without a proper recogniltioni of the vajue we have b)eeni to the material growth and developimentt of the coninu nity and to the uplifting and betterment of the people. The people for whom you labor will not put a higher estimate upon your labor than you place upont It yourself. The public will appreciate your service more If you let it be tunderstood that you ~, ~ feel and know yourself that it has value. Then there Is the politliatan who, as a rule, Is supremely selfish and has no0 use ,, for you except in so far as.he can use you to advanice his own selfish ends. Let hinm understand that you realize the power of '51 , the'ipress to make and unmake men and ) will appreciate you the more, 'e thing I desire to Impress Is that in pe apprecisited we: must pladea utpoM our own workC Another matter of sonme itmportance and to which I have already referred is that too ranaty editors do not realize the value of th.ir space and their mainr pir peo seents to be to fill space, I mean the space in their newspaper., while rather the (luestion should be what should they leave out. The foreign advertiser knows this long ing of the country editor to fill space and he coics along with a proposition whiclh requires no cotposition anl a stateinent that it is bunsiness which can be obtaine' in to other way, and soo1 i coitract is closed at about half what the local ier chant is charged, less the ustal corninis. sioni, and in the best position of the paper on local or editorial page, first advertise lient in colutintit aloigside full coluttn of pure reading matter. If the editor were to fill his entire paper with such contracts he could iot itmake enough to pay for his white paper and buy his wife a new Spritg boinet. One of the oldest editors in this State, and yet one of the youngest men, for he is still a baclhelor, was so surprised a short time ago at an olTer made him to pay for an obituary notice of twenty eight inches that lie did not know what to charge, and actually wrote me to ask what I thought would be proper for hint to do. lie had pliblishedi hundreds of in " _. of s day and never before htad any friend or relative of the departed thought of the fact that it had cost hinl. mtotney to set the type and buy the paper aml do the printing. I was very iuch ill ltis condi tion. I did tot know what to advise, because I had never had such an expe rience. We do not value our space. We need somte cotcert of action in this mat ter of advertising rates. It would be just as easy to get i living price for otr space as to sell it at starvatiotn rates as we are loing tolay. It is our own fault that we are not getting better prices. Patent tmcdicities can not sell witlout being ad vertised atl the nianufacturers know this better than we do. These foreign advertisers wotul(d py three times what they atre paying today for advetisiig inl the newspapers of this State hefore they would stay out of thet, and we coild get it just as easily as the price we ttow get if we only woul. It is our fault. I have called your attent:on to this taatter several timies 1before, but it secis irpos sible to get the ptbli-,bers to agree to get together. This is a day of trusts and combinatio ns and while we light the trusts, atnl inl order to heIp us to do it we should get together on this ttatter, and at least demaid and secure living rates for our merchandise and while we help to enrich the foreign dealer get a little of the pie oturselves. I wotld like very much to see every editor and publisher itn this State an ae tive itember of this Association, aid dtr ing thte time you have honored me as your President. I have endeavored to awaken an interest among the editors in the work of the Association and have urged their attlendance u1)ont the ilanual gatherings. I believe it woul help the growth and activity of the Association to keep a roll of the membership and see to it that the stmall annuital dues are paid. It is natural thatt oneC feels ttore interest itt any otgttn izautiont whtetn his dues tire ptromtptly paid. If lie does ntot paIy let his namtie he1 dropped fromi the roll as p)rovidled by thte cottstitutioni. IIeretofore thte treatsurter has tever inade any~ effott to collect dueas, but hias accepted whatt was paid.

ItUr ONE IN Tlji, ICUII Pl'E DEE SECTION. Absorb, Sou,tiern Oil 4o.-'5,000,000 tl u l*rleo l'anid, sande Mr. C. FNllzSlmaor,, l'rusilent of Co in,,a,iIa Comt, p,:ay, Retrneiud. |Special to The State.] Dillon, July 3.-The absorption of the independent cotton oil mills in South Carolina goes merrily on. About two weeks ago the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company of Charleston pur chased the Atlantic Cotton Oil com pany for $300,000. These mills are located at Sumter, Camden, Iiennetts ville, Gibson, N. C., and a refinery at Charleston. Now the Dillon oil mill has been absorbed by the same com pany for $15,000. This is con parat ivoly a new mill of 45 tons capacity. Nego tiations are today pending for the pur= chase of th At arion oil mill by the same corporation, and the ultimate absorp tion, as this mill, like many others, it Is stated, lost money last season owing to the high price of seed compared with the low price of oil and tmeal. It is not, yet known what has been done with the Plorenco mill, but it has been reported that this same corpora tion has secured an option on it. In Dar lingtonotho Virginia-Carolina Chemical company practically owns one of the two mills located there, and the owners of the other mill, up to a short time ago, declared their unalterable inten tion not to sell out to the trust, but will work on as an independent company. Thus all the mills with this single ex ception, In the rich cotton belt of east ern South Carolina have passed into the hands of the Charleston fertilizer trust. Whether the absorption of mills in other parts of the State is in pro gress is not yet known, but it is ru mored that such a movement is on foot. There are 62 cotton oil mills in the State. The recent formation of that $12,000, 000 corporation in the east for the pur chase and control of some of our south e-n oil mills may mean something for South Carolina. The Southern Cotton Oil company with its eighty large mills was sold to the Virginia-Carolina Chem ical company on the 1st instant for $2,000,000, and the transfer has been formally made in New York. Mr. C. F'itzSimons, the president of the Colunm bia mill, has been retained by the new company and has entered upon his now duties. Those in a position to talk do not hesitate to say that from a business standpoint the purchase of these oil mills will greatly benefit the Virginia Carolina Chemical company, who prac tically control the fertilizer business of the Sm-te, Cotton seed meal contains about 0 per cent. of ammonia, which is the most costly Ingredient in the make of commercial fertilizers. Not owning any mills they have heretofore been compelled to use fish-scrap or blood to supp)ly ammonia, which ingredIents are costly and uncertain in their analysis. Apart from being a source of ammonia cotton seedl is an excellent "filler" in the manufacture of these goods. Its use Is nothing new and thousands of tons have been annually absorbed In tis way. It Is stated on good author ity thlat the Atlantic Cotton Oil comn pany had on foot a welidevised plan to purchase or comnbine into a trust sever al of the oil mnills In thlis State, and had gone to work systematically securing options to many of them. The Virginia Car-olina Chemical com pany, hearing of tils ImmedIately entered into negotia tions with thlem to buy themn out, and did so at a price exceeding their capital 'stock by $50,000. F. P. C. TilIE RUMOR IN COLUMBIA. It was rumored her-e yesterday that the Vir-ginla-Carolina Chemical com pany had bought the cotton seed oil mills in tis State operated by the Southorn Cotton Oil company. Negotiations have been pending for some time, and it was reported yester day that thle trade had been completed. This will cause the company's large mill In this city to chlango hands. It Is now operated by Mr. C. Fitz8lmmons, who, It is said, will become general manager of the VIrginia-Carolina Chemical company's cotton 'seed oil bushmAess in this State. Mr. FitzSimmnonn was In New York yester-day, and is expected here today. Whoa he is promoted, as be 110 doubt will be, lhe will receive the congratula tions of many friends, who are gratified to know that hIs successful manage ment of the local mill has been appre. elated.

I''he State, July 4.1 The woe k on the distillery which the iRichland )istilling company is building about one-half imile below Granby on the Congarec is being rapidly pushed, and Contractor Fred Sitendorf is mak ing every effort to have the work con pleted by Saptember 1, the dato called for by tho contract. The capacity of the new plant will be 000 bushels per day, larger than any other distillery in North or South Caro lina. Indeed, this will rank among the two or three largest distiller1as in the South. When completo there will be six buildings: The government bond ware house, 40 x 100 feet, with storage room for 8,000 barrels; the main building, four stories high, 50 x 60 feet; the for mnenting building; the dry house; boiler room, and the barrel house. The process to be employed in the plant calls for the most improved ma chinery, none of which has arrived yet. The first six carloads are looked for next week. The plant when finished is expected to cost $85,000 and it is thought the business done will amount to $600,000 annually. In addition to the employes of the Richland company, of which Mr. N. M. Black is president, the government will have three storekeepers and a guager to look after Uncle Sam's portion of the '!corn juice." They will, of course, have entire charge of the government warehouso. This building is most tho roughly constructed. Over the heavy two-inch flooring has been placed a second flooring to insure firm foothold for the 8,000 barrels which this build ing will contain. This building is nearly finished, and two others, the main and fermentation building are well under way. The process to be used in this dis tillery is known as "the improved Ken tucky process," and the whiskey thus made is guaranteed to be entirely free from all chemicals. This process is an extremely interest ing one and as explained by t.he con tractor, Mr. Fred Sittendorf, is easily understood when stripped of its techni calities. To begin at the beginning, the corn is conveyed from the cars to the corn bins by means of elevators. Thence it is again carried by elevators to another receptaclo and cleaned. The corn is then taken to the crushing box and from there to the meal bin. The meal bin is under government control and record is kept of every bushel of meal in order to compare it later with the amount of whiskey produced. Still cooking is the next thing. And just here is where the old met hods are improved on. In the new process the meal, instead of being cooked in a ket tle exposed to the air, is cooked in a closed vessel. This is done to aid the setting free of the starch from the corn. After being heated to 148 degrees for a p)eriod of three hours evaporation is al lowed in order to get rid of all impuri tiesO. The malt is then added. As Is known, malt is barley artificially ger'mi nated. The "diastes" of the barley is given off when the plant becomes damp. As soon as the malt is added to the damp mixture a great simmering Im mediately takes place and tihe "diastes" readily enters into combination with the meal. T1he mash after the water has been drawn off is then cearried th rough cop per lined pipes to huge cypress kettles where the yeast is added and the mix ture allowed to stand for three days at a temperature of 85 degrees. The beer is then pumped into a dis tilling recep)tacle at the top of the build ing. It is allowed to trickle slowly down through a cylinder over shelves fixed to the sides. When nearly to the bot tom the liquid meets the steam which is being pumped up from the bottom. When the steam and beer come in con tact a vapor is given off which rises to the top of the cylinder and is conveyed from there into what is called a "cool or." As the vapor enters the "cooler" it is condensed and at last the real ar - ticle is produced, this vapor condensedI is whiskey. The Beat Bemedy for Stomach and Bowel Troubles.
