Beviewing the earlier stages and the ~.ezpernences of earlier emagrants to 5 the South, Mrr M. V. Richards, of the Southt rn ailway, who has been active in cultivating Southern immi graition, is quoted in this week's issuae of the Manufacturers' Record as follows: "Pioneers they cert ainly were,juait -very generally in the same financial condition of the pioneers who made possible the creation of the mighty -West. Some of them sunnaeded and come failed, but back in the North and: West, whence they came, she failureg wera promptly widely her aIded, while not so much was heard about the successes. After a while, though, the story of the men who had gone South,-o?en wit,h no eapi tal but-brains and brawn, was told at home, at- first with some soepticism, si~ bere was siiL a disincinationk to bilieve that any good could come out of the South.

In ihe in3ci) t xp:ot irg f I'ra i dent Roorteveos broteho bnsting, cr.ss-coun ry ridin,athistico stroun istic character matv people have lost sight o* one or two phases of the President which are quite as inter esiing. Roosevelt, the father, and Roosevelt, the statesman, are less spectacular aspects; but both are quite individual and worthy of notice. The physical activity of Roosevelt is merely a safety valve. He has al ways been an athletic man. In col lege he played foot ball, and after wards he rode and walked and imat ed on his raich in the far West His system has becom6 accustomed to a certain amount of physical labor every day, and be finds it necessary in order that he may keep well and do the indoor intellectual work which his office n itaes. How, much work of the latter kind he does is scarcely realized. Probably no man who has been in the White House since Jefferson's time bas been so much of a student as- Roosevelt. He works at being President with all the earnestness of a college student on the verge of a critical examination. He is a great delver into books and reports. He has the Congressional Library sacked for works which bear on problems foreign 'and domestic. legal and eco ilomic, legislative, executive, judi ial-pplitieal. Re eakfar.into;the niglbt' He talks a great deal, much of the talk being merely the thresh ingL out.verbally of problems in his mind. He keeps- his secretary, Mr. Cortelyou,' log after other people are in theirieods; diseouming to him of tariff revision, reciprocity, Cuban relations, isthmian canal, navy, army, trusts, railroads, civil service, poli tics, and a thousand and one other matters which come in 'the day's work~ The President keeps the depart mentaean the jump supplying him with'd*ta and statisties bearing on iatteia which will come. before hini, i' maylbe months.in'the fnture. .He is keepingdhesd of ithe prcsso of events, and it is mighty seldom that asubwet comes before hini 'nd finds him in a satt of unprepared ness. If it chances to be trust legis lation which lodens in fron:t he goes ihto the subjectiromn all sides, read ing 88 -if he were preparing for a the. sis-, studying the history2 of trusts fr om th.e esthest times, and familiar izing himself with the theories and opinions of 'all the leading politioal eatinemists and publicists.

Of-his reading, hiRdtlvie and his own theories and beliefs, le talk freely and continuously to. those about him' sifting, rejecting, proving, combating and form e~g, until be has shme well digestekd convicti2ne and a great supply of ready inforn'a tion bearing on all sides of the affair. With other questions itis the-same One after another, and with equal enthusiasm, he takes them up and goes raveningl'epugh them He likes to woraBites at it as if it were a wreeding matcb, and he thirstinig for the enounter. But all this takes time ad i.takes energy. Much of thbe PresideGt?a day is eaten up with the seeing of people who have a right to see im and .who must be seen. He turns his lunch eon table into an informal executive session with such people as he wants to have more~ talk with; but even so, it is neceseary to turn nigcht into day and steal three or four hours a day from sleep for quiet, of rather unin terrupted, digging. Another side of President Roose vel's life which is little exploited is the domestic one. One reason for this is his own earnest wish that he be let alone in the* privacy of his home. He does not mind, publicity in his official capacity-even specta elar publicity-but he does not likte the invasion of his home. Nevertheless it may be related with all"propriety that Mr. Roose velt is a father who might well be emulated. He is not the stranger to his children which so many busy American fathers are. The strike leader, John Mitchell, tells a story of a hard-working miner who was absent so much from his family that he children came to lenow him only ATA s$loE Amw T -1S TO BE C Bran New Sto( we have decided A GENII It is not a r shelf from se No odor of m clothing whic remarkable, I date in quali1 in any marke We Mean What I And $10,000 worth Clothing is to be cia and if anybody can ment in the lot, we value of the whole a Suits for Men, Y< A fine selectio~n!

Moseley, who becomas H1E ADVANTAGES WHICH ACCRUE TO THE FARMER. ome of the irofit *.i Realizes by thi Establfishr.:ni of Cotton Seed Oil /.is. u maanutae!. u ing industry stands close to the farmer ;.s the cotton ed oil milis. The interest of the two :e nutual and inseparable. A very :.ge iart of the products of the oil ;&is is now retuined to tile ,arm and Iacticaily all of it in some form can e utilized. The mill provides a profitable market or the surplus seed, and returns the roduct to the farmer, with greitiy nhanced value in a finished condition. While the larger part of the-Awsiness wtween the mill and the farmer is )>nducted on a basis of barter and ex hange, it does not actually differ nuch in results from the toll system of Wt corn mill. The oil mill purchases the seed in he open market, and sells its products n the same way, but ultimately, all >f the hulls and meal shoild get back o the farms from which the seed were hipped. While this is now the result n many cases, it is not as common or eneral as the practice should be. Ev ,ry pound of these two products pro uced in the South should be returned o the land, either as fertilizer ap-. >lied direct, or stock feed, the latter nuch to be preferred, as their value n that way is immensely increased. About 1830 a cotton seed.oil mifl was stablished at Columbia, S. -C. The -istorian of the time 6nly consideredIt f sufficient importance to congratu ate the "public-spirited" citizen who ad enterprise enough to establish the )usiness, but did make the further omment that the owner "expressed rom cotton seed a very fair grade of -dible oil." No further reference is nade to this beginning of the busi ess, and it can only be inferred that he improper handling of the product, )r the prejudices of the people against his "edible oil," prevented it from be ng successful. In 1860 Aldigee ound thousands of tons of eed dumped on the commons, and :)laced under guard to prevent the :ows frorfi eating them, as. they were regarded as poisonous to cattle. From such conditions has grown a mngnificent industry that has added millions to the value of Southern arms, increased the traffic of the rail cads, established an immense foreign trade with this country, earned fair eturns for its promoters, while giving -tnployment to thousands of men at .emunerative wages, many of whom ;therwise would be idle at the season when their work is required at the nills. - In all of this development the great est benefits have been derived by the farmers. The mills have Wken the seed which . prior to their establishment, were either lost entirely or wastefully used, and cdnverted them into valuable products, easily 'and economically handled, resulting in the cheaper pro duction of crops, and increased yields per acre. - Raising and fattening cattle has been, one of the interesting features of this development. The fattening of cattle in the South for market, outside, per haps, of the Teias ranges, was un known before the extensive use of cot ton seed hulls and meal. At present, almost every neighborhood is raising a few head of cattle for the butcher on this feed, and in many sections, numbers of cattle are being fattened In this way. As this business increases t...will be followed by the erection of d 'packing houses in the South with aM the advaritages of such industries. Any .land-owner, can make fattening attle profitable. It has been chemi. .aIy deionstrated, sustaihed by tical tests that the droppings fr cat tle ft d-on cotton seed meal is ellual in feeding value to the meal itself applied directly to the land. No other feed has any such comparative value. When this is considered, the immenS advantageps derived by the farmers 2rom the establishment .of cotton seed oil mills.ls realized eveb If gko other benefits .accrue, but when the abuind ance and cheapness of hulls is consid ered, an4 their value to the farmer and feeder recognized, some idea Is gnof th peddwork, and advan tages theote mis have accoP plished towards the. development of Southern agriculture. In almost any season, regardless of the price. of seed and products the mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Mill Company of the Carolinas -and Georgia will give back to the farmers all of the meal and hulls produced from the seed n .exchange for the seed, , reserving - only the oil, and small amount of slWrt - linfl to cover transportation chages, cost of working, interest on invesftient and profits. No more liberal division of .the profits between manufac?turers and consumer has ever been accom plished. It makes the business co operative, returning to the farmer .all is of any value to him, in augeata KyImproved condition, and consequent" Iyfreatly increas in value, and leaving with the mif "lnty that part - of the seed universally regarded as de trimental in its natural condition, either as a feed' or fertilizer, from which the mill must realize all of its expenses, including cost of working. The oil is converted at the refineries In Savannah into pure - and whole some substitutes f.or Slard, known as "Palmatina" and "Snowdrift," and Ise givei back to the consumers' table as a deliacy at a low price, or as a pure cooking off, as Wesson CookingL 01. The refuse or waste from the 'r'srned' oil is made into a soap, and 'oiback at a cost that places it in the reach of the poorest. The lint is made into qjuilts, pillows and mattresses and sold at a price that makes It possible for the bed-rooms of the humblest cottage to be comfortably furnished. In byng or raising cattle to be .fat tened on hulls and meal, every ffEoit should -be made to secure good 'beef producing breeds. A prominenti and successful packer is authority for the statement that the Improved .bi-eeds - will sell on foot for three times as much as ,the common stock. The consumption of beef in the South tar exceeds any previous period. It an' be. net by home production: If Beutherh farmers will use all the hulls and meal made by the oil mill, with out drawing on the West. At present only about one-fourth of the cotton seed meal is consumed where it is pro duced for feeding and fertilizing crops, the balance finding a market either in Europe or in the Eastern or Western States. The cotton oil in dustry has been de veloped when it was mhost needed by the people of the South, especially by. the Southern Cotton Oil Company, which has mills throughout the South and general headquarters at Columbia, S. C., Goldsbqro, ~N. C., Charlotte, ?j. C., Atlanta, Ga., and Savannah and. Augusta, Ga Its only danger 'is in being over-done. It should get to such proportions as to have the crush ing capacity run ahead of the produc tion of seed, or the production of oil ncrease faster than the consumption, the results would be disastrous both, to the mill owners, and to the farmers. It is a business requiring a high order of commercial intelligence for its suc cessful continuance, and it is manifest ly to the interests of the mnanufacturer and to the farmer to keep it well with a reasoiable bounds. n assistant to R"corder Wright by irection of the~ President :is secre sry of the Inter State Commerce Jmmission.
