Okra. T;;cre seenis to 1-J a strong prob? abilit? tout tue plant known ns okra {_.V: '.? j e'$ctii?:itit$ym\\ bc made tc fur:.isl; a valuable f?ber. Tbe riant grows . v IJ all thrcegfc thc Southero ?>ta:e.&. and has beea known for years to farmers and stock men as capable of producing a very strong fiber, which to Texas and other localities is now used j in making lariats. Ten yeaisago the Department of Ag- i ric>iif.ure had samples of the plant grown j iu its greenhouses, and a report was j made oo the quality of the fiber, but ; nothing seems to hr.ve co eye cf it. Ke cently, however, thc subject bas been revived, and the Commissioner of Agri? culture of South Carolina. Mr. A. >I>. Baller, seems to be very confident that a new industry with vast possibilities is about to be opened up. A specimen of the filter which has been received from ; Mr. Butler through thc department at j Washington shows a loog, stroug, aod j glossy thread somewhat resembling ? hemp, though darker in co.or. The , fruit which this okra plaut produces is j prized as a vegetable, the niu-citagiuous'i pods beitig used for thickening soup and to form a peculiar Southern dish called gumbo. The Southern soil is especially j adapted to growing the plaut, as the j abandoned rice fields and Uudrained iauds ! generally could be utilized for raising vast quantities of ir. <?kra is also a j native of the West Iudies, notably I Cuba, where it grows iu almost all soils,1; and is indigenous to Africa, where it prows wild. It is abundant oo the ? White Nile and near the \ ictoria Ny- j anzi, and has long been naturairced in j India, where it ts cultivated for its edi? ble pods. The fiber which has beeo produced abroad is described as long, silky and generally strong and pliant, its breaking strain acoording to Ros burgh beitig TD pounds dry and 95 pounds wet. Wheo well prepared, as' ia the Southern Presidency of india, it is adapted for the manufacture of rope, twine, sacking, and paper. It is used to adulterated jute io Decca aud My mensing. In Frauce the manufacture j of paper from the 2.>or is parented, and j here it receives 0:1 ly mechanical treat ment and produces a paper called benda, j which is said to be equal to that made I from pure rags. It is claimed for the okra fiber that, j inasmuch as the wood surrounds the j fiber instead of being mixed with'it. as iu 1 jute, aod also that the work of prepara tion can be dene by macbicer.v, tte cost j of production can be reduced to one cent j per pound. Jute can only be profitably j produced in countries where manual la- ; bor is very cheap, as India and China, , because no machine bas been demised j for separating tbe wood from the fiber. I Vast quantities of -jute are imported by I the United States, and it is used in making gunny cloth, cordage, shirting, j coat linings, and it is extensively em? ployed in mixing with silk, cotton, cut? woolen fabrics, aod io paper making, j It is believed that okra fiber can be sub- : stituted for jute in the coarser of these lines of manufacture, and some even 1 claim that it will be found available : wherever jute is now employed. It is easily to be soco from this that if : the okra tiber Pfands the teit of further experiment, a new and most important iodustry will spring iuto being. Thc Agricultural Department at Washington states it has not yet beeo determined j how the plaut will bear cultivation a?d ; propagation, and thc department ts now gathering the Seeds and roots to experi? ment with next yeer. As the okra.sow grows luxuriantly in al! parts of tba South, the production of it eveo.iu tho large quantities which would be required in case the tiber comes ?Dto geueral use will oot probably prove a serious barrier to progress io this directioo, whiie the I well knowo inventive genius of* Aoieri- | cans can bo depended upo? to devise ; machinery for preparing the tiber and to make constant improvements upou it. j It is only a few years siuce the tuan- j ufacturc of oil from cottou seed was ? commenced, but it has become a great ! fiu&istry. From September 2, ]Ssjj>, to i September 1, ?8S6 there were exported ! from New York $8 871 barrels of this | oil, and from New Orteaus 1SG.720 bar-J reis. Thc first recorded attempt to ex- : tract the oil wa? made it: Virginia in j 18-0. and was successful, but it was not 1 commercially experimented wi'h until : 1834, wheo an attempt to manufacture j it was made in L 'uisiaua, but did not prove to be profitable A second at? tempt and a second failure was made in ]?i7. During succeeding years new and important improvements .vere made in thc machinery for extracting thc oil, 1 and in IS?? ;he business had become profitable. During previous years cot- . too seed had been left to rot ut the gins, or. af besf. only occasionally u:?d as a fertilizer. The eil is thc most valuable part of the seed, a ?id is used for mixing with lard, in soap making, dressing mo- . rocco, softening wool, as wt-ll as in pharmacy. Thc cake whtc!: is left a?t3r extracting the oil is fed to cattle, and : tile meal, another element ot tier residue, < is used to enrich the land, and it has I been found thar for food, and as a ferti? lizer, these component parts of t*:e *ot too seed are more serviceable rhao was the seed when a ed whole Such are th^ leading characteristics of a great in- ! djst-y which hash-;': builtduring the past few years by atiiizmg rio- once despised cottou seed, and it may nc* be too much to expect, in view of these facts, that the okra weed may te made to furnish a fiber which will enter info a gre.tt viriety of manufactures, and thus become still anorhci eietuent in the di versification of American industries. ?ic it u t ? fir . ? m i. v ?rai i It may be demonstrated that the jute trust of i-SS-S will prove <? blessing in disguise. If the greed of the spec- ! u!ators had oot been so great our farmers would have gone on u-;>;g jar, for years to c mc total y iguoraul of tho possibilities within their JV; eh In their extremity the farm* rs ?;I >pted cotton as the readiest w ap n: cith which to fight ':>'? t: u-t. a.: i while it was very effective if is f .? xj josi ve to bc consid< red a> a pcrmatieut -'ih StitUtC.

AG Interesting Letter from Mrs. Chapm in Regard to the Won? derful Curative Powers of the Electropoise. CAHLKSTON, S. C., January 26, 1390. Mr. Anderson-Dear Sir : I was truly giad to learn that an office had been opened in our city fur the sale of Rn met remen t (the Elec? tropoise) about which I becaioe-co enthusi? astic a few months tgo thafl rashly wen! into print (through the News and Courier) in an ani'-!e describing its wonderful curative prop? erties. I did not imagine the trouble 1 was bringing upon myself, for not a week lias passed since that1- hare not been called upon to gi*-furtfa-er testimony and tell more about it. in the enjoyment of perfect health my? self 1 cati give oo personal experience, but 1 have friends who, after suffering for years the most excruciating pain, w<ue-!; the most skil? ful physicians North and Eoutb had failed to r-Iie^e, have been cured by the ?:.-e of the Ltectropoise. i: is a panacea for nervousness, brain fatigue and genera! debility. I* is elec? tricity applied at hume, witnout current, shock or danger. I have marjy friends among the clergy who tell of tbe wonderful relief ex? perienced by cen netting ihemseives-?'ith the instrument, and lying down after a faUffurngi day's work. It only nee'ls a trial to convince the most skeptical, and when I hear the testi? mony of the Hon. Wm. C. Sibley, of Augusta, the Re?.-T. W. Moore, I>. I)., of Florida, and ethers, whom I personally know and who have been beneficed, 1 feel it a duty I owe suffering humanity to say. try the K;-ctro poise. Mus. SALLIE F. CHAPIS, President of the Woman's Christian Temper ancc?nion of South Carolina. Here is what the Hon. Wm. G ?Pibiey, of Augusta, has to say i'.bw. the -Erect rc poise : AL'?C?TA, CA. Had suffered many years with sciatica, rheumatism and general derangement of nerves aud muscles: walked with great diffi culty ; had no ?aith iii the Poise, and used it only at the request of my write. Improved *:fter iivo weeks use. At end of three months walked without pain or d-ili-alty. I would not take a thousand dollars for the benefit re? ceived, and recommend its use to all similarly affects. W. C. SIBLEY. I?AWIHORSS, FuA. ? went to 'Florida six years ago completly broken down fror,: complication of bron? chitis, catarrh,cyjipepsia. torpid liver, ?tc; received no benefit from climate, and had no hope of recovery. Four months' home treat? ment with the Electropoise restored me to health, with a gain of forty pounds in weight, i can now preach two sermons a day without irritation of throat or buifrs. li is tile remedy for evervtcuig-a. Tuv tami!v. KEV. C N MORROW. SAN ANGELO, T>\. I was stricken with paralysis Four months' medica! treatment gave me no relief. Eleven days' application of the Electropoise enabled me to return to. my church work. I confi? dently recommend the use of th?- Electropoise to suffering humanity. RKV. T. C. STANLEY. BIRMINGHAM, ALA. i had chronic diarhcci pearly'two years. Medicine had no effect oh me. A short u>e of the Electropoise caused a complete restoration to health, with a gain in weight. W/?.

Price of Wall Electropoise, $50; Pocket Poise, $25. Public Schools. The undersigned deem it proper to make j son:?-statement to the public in reference to the proposed issae-cf bonds for the purpose of j buying a sile ?uti crecticg a .public school bcif?in?. First.-As to its necessity. Toe building now in use is entirely unsuited to its pur? poses It ?6 a pHVMte residence, temporarily leased and liable :o be reclaimed by its owner at any time. There are nearly 300 children over-crowded.rn tho building. It cannot bc properly heated in-coW weather, and.'is over? crowded condition ?;:<:s: r-.imer ii hole some during the summer tern: .."t is dai.ger ousirom-Sre. T?e'?raved School is a pub? lic, not a privat?; institution, and in its con? struction and appointments it ought to be not only serviceable, but should bring no dis? credit on our city. The public schools afford the only hope of educating hundreds of poor children in this community, and a suitable building ic? atcSS??'4ry factor iu their rnaiu t?-".tl?C. Secondly.-As to-Uscoet. To contract for plans, specifications and estimat-Sffroir com? petent architect? is to incur considerable ex? pense, ami involve the Board io debt before any authority is granted for that purpose. The act ot the legislature authorizes the i?sue of $12,000 of bonds, if so much be deemed nece^ary. ?Judging from the cost of similar buildings in other .to*ac in South Carolina wo would say that $10,000 ought to be suf'i ci*?-.;. -Should the tv>ard get permission from the projKT authorities to erect the building on some public lot, the Monumental Smare, fur instance, th-" '..;>;; of purchasing a site would thereby be avoided. Should w also be able to sell to advantage lite old public School house and lot ott Republican street, the amount would be still further reduced besides. 'Justice and fnirtiess would seem to require that some needed additions ami re? pairs he rn-ide to xiiz school house for the co!ot ed chi:dr<&. ThIrdli .--;?;. io Ktev?r.Sv? of ??;.ation. The annual interest on SlO 000 of bonds at-o per cen: will bc S<>"0. We n?.?w pay $300 ,i year as rcn'. The only increase will then bc $300 : per anuutii. T<> raise this sum will involve nt; annual tax of one-fourth of one mil!, in- j as-muvh as the to; vi iis-c?sme-ji of property i in the cit* ,v: Sum? er-Is abo;;: cue mil lion two ' hundred and :V"?y thousand dolla? 5. So that every tax:???yer whoowns $1. ooo of property . .Ait! hive to p?y in:: twenty-five cents each j year. Th-- s*ea?iy Increase of property values ; h.
