VViUsli, one of the leading ministers and educators of the South Carolina Con- : ferene. It was under his father that lie was educated; the thoroughness of which was evidenced by hia extraordi nary well-trained mind. At an early age h engaged In teach ing; was princif.nl of a high school in Vadesboro, N. C, when only IS years old. He was engaged in the oofuimtion of teaching quite a number of years, teaching in C'heMerfleld ond Marlboro, N. C. and in Thomiinville. On. At the call of his country ho entered tha army of th Confederacy, and served aa an assistant in oiuj of the hospital corns, ev?r ready to gene his suffering ; fellow-man.

Mr. Graham Clark, spcclul itgwnt nf the Bureau of s Monufacturea, ' who has been making a toir ot the Orient and writing some Interesting reports on the outlook for tha cjtum tnarket, ha also been looking Into the introduc tion of cotton-seed oil Into the Orient. Mr. Clark is the son of Judge Clark, of Raleigh, and his Interest in such a subject, apart from hia connection with the Bureau of Manuacturers, la a natural one. xne wureu ,. of Manufactures gives out Mr. Clark'a recent report upon the cotton seed Industry In India, written from Bombay. Mr. Clark among, other things says: ; , , '. V -. There are many valuable oil seeds grown In India. In tha majority of Instances the seeds . arc exported to foreign countries, the oil extracted and returned to India, or eold eiaewnere at an advanced price. To retain in India the manufacturing pront, on mills hava been started In several sec tions of the country and others are being projected. These are for Inl- seod, rape or aesamum oil seeds. The native newspapers are trying to atari a movement In favor of cotton-seed mills, but the exporters of cotton seed do not appear to favor this. There is at present only one rep- lar cotton-seed oil mill ln all India and that is In Burma. This mill is located at Myingyan On the Irrawad- dy, was established In W9.0 with a capital of 150.000 rupees, and is un der the management of A, 8.. Jamal Brothers &. Co. Seed cotton Is pur chased -wholesale in Burma, also some from Bengal, and Madras, gin ned at the ginning plant -connected with the oil mill, the cotton sold, and the eed then crushed, the oil extract ed and refined, and the resllue made Into soap. Being situated on the lr- rawaddy, the factory 1s well located In regard to water "traffic with eastern India. The cott&n-secd factory alone has an annual income of 125,000 to 160,000 rupees (rupee 82.4 cents). OPERATIONS OF A LOCAL. MILL. Besides pressing Its own seed tho mill at Burma presses seed for mer chants at the rate of 6 annas (12 cents) tier maund of 400 pounds, or, if seed cotton Is supplied, the charge for ginning and then pressing the seed is 8 annas (16 cents) per maund. The merchants who bring tha Heed are usually contractors for supplying oil to railways and steamers. It has been found by this mill that the seed from Rangoon, Calcutta, ana Madras give about the same percontuge ot oil each. The general market rate lor such seed at present Is about 1,2 annas (24 cents) per 40-pound maund, which is equal to about $13.50 a ton of 2, 240 pounds. The Burma mill makes crude and relined oil and soap. OrdlnariVy from a maund of clean seeds there Is obtained 4 tolas (12 pounds)' lint, from 6 3-4 to 7 pounds oil, 19 pouruls oil cake and meal, and the remainder hulls. This average, however, varies with each season. The mill runs twenty-two hours a day and has a production of 30 tons of seed dally. It was started with 20 tons a day, but owing to the great demand for the crude oil, arrangements were made to work 10 ton more per day, and this may poaslbly later be Increased to the full capacity of the plant,' which is about 50 tons. Kerosene lamps are used for night work, the town having no electric lights. Tho workmen In the factory are chiefly from Burma and BengWl, and their wages are 4 to 8 annas (8 to 16 cents) per day. Mlstrles (mechanics) and tho higher skilled workmen get 1 to 1 1-2 rupees (32 to 4R cent:)) per day. The engi neer gets about 800 rupees per month, The expense of working 30 tons a dny is about 6,400 rupees per month, which gives 6 rupees, say $2. per ton. This la about half the American fig ure, where the average cost of work ing the seed per ton is noarly $4. PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE. Making crude oil from cotton seed ! ftimrilv ii mochunlcal process con sisting of cleaning the seed and sepa rating the short lint from the seed, removing the hull from the kernel, cooking the meat to the proper con.sts tncy for pressing, and then squeez ing out the oil, leaving the pre.-ed cake, Refining the oil Is a chemical process consisting of mixing the crude oil with either caustic potash lyo of 45 degrees Haumo (3 gallons to 100 gallons crude oil) or else with soda lye of 30 degrees Baume (6 gallons to 100 gallons crude oil), heating and stirring, and then allowing it to cool and settle when the clour oil Is pour ed off, leuvlng the brown soap sedi ment. Both processes are carried on with native workmen, The prens u.-d has a ram 12 inches In diameter, nnd Is worked at a pressure of 11-2 Inns per square Inch, As usual, tho pressure Is applied by pumps, ono set having 2 1-2 inch and the other ct 1-Inch diameters, tho larger pumps applying the pressure quickly until the moat Is well compressed, when tho small pumps give tho llnul squeeze,. Fifteen minutes Hufllce to completely extract the oil, which collects In res ervoir underneath. The oil as ex tracted is a deep red color and Weighs 7 1-2 pounds to the gallon. There ii a large demand for the oil as a lubricant for railroads, cto., and a good deal Is used in I ho crude state without refining. The relined oil Is used for culinary purposes In India and also in Japan and China. The. remaining residues of oil are used In the manufacture of English nnd country soaps In the Mylngyan fac tory. The selling price of tho soap varies according to quality. The weights In Burma differ In some re spects from those used elsewhere in A WOMAN'S BACK.

Ui.it pou:i tor tue n-Uiied .il in Burma is about hQ rupees per 100 vlshas (300 pounds) an J shout 65 rupees for unrefined oil. ' The oil Is packed in tins contain ing about 30 pounds each. The residues of hulls are used for fuel, but could be converted into pot ash and phosphate of lime. Forty pounds of seed produce 19 pounds of pressed cake, which is sold In Burma and India for feeding stock, and the Chinese use it for fuel to a small ex tent. The price is about 1 rupee iper maund. Some is exported to Japan for use as feed and fertiliser. This is sold by the market weight, "tokari," which is equivalent to 40 pounds net, being about the same as the local Burmese maund. The cost of 100 tokarls Is now about 100 rupees. This Is packed in gunny sicks containing I to I maunds of oil cako each. Japan uses annually immense quanti ties of bean cake for cattle food and fertilizer, v This la obtained from Miartchurla mainly, and if cotton-seed oil milU were erected in India it is probable that Japan would also buy the cotton-seed oil cake in large quantities. , . "; rx , '; : . ;; OIL FOR CULINARY PURPOSES, v In Burma. India. China, and Japan cotton-seed oil la preferred to lard oil for culinary purposes, and it Is claimed" that for "shortening" and for plo crusts It la superior to lard or any other grease, both as to the taste and appearance of the finish crust. There should be a good demand in India, especially because lard is ' ab solutely forbidden to Mohammedans, and to some other religious, sects aa well. There are over 80,000,000 Mo hammedans In India, so the opening afforded by religious prejudice la a large, one. Refined eotton-seed oil has the color, transparency, and taste of olive oil and the same characteristics for lubricating and pharmaceutical purposes. Ololn is the characteristic Ingredient of each, , It Is almost im possible to distinguish a good cotton? seed oil from olive oil, and the former Is frequently employed to adulterate olive oil, about 25 per cent, cotton seed oil to 7S per cent olive oil be ing the proportions used. The In dian cotton-seed oil, however, Is not as clear and pure as the American oil, nor of exactly the same taste or color, so is not so well suited for this purpose. Owing to the absence of the gum that always exists In lard oil, cotton seed oil is a better lubricator and lumlnant than the former. It burns longer and gives a brighter light, and this Is one of the main uses to which the crudely extracted native oil Is used in India, Being a fixed oil, it Is non-volatile, and therefore non-explosive and safer than kerosene or simi lar oils. SOAPS AND LUBRICANTS. The production of light-colored soap from crude cotton-seed oil, or from the residues, Is obtained by pu rification. The oil is freed from im purities by settling or filtering. The residues are slightly warmed with a little water, and after cooling drawn off from the aqueous layer. The oil or the residues are then treated with sufllcienti strong soda lye so that the soap separates in flakes, which are re moved from the strongly colored un der layer. The soap Is dissolved In as little water as possible and decoloriz ed by the addition of chlorine water. Instead of tho latter bleaching pow der or potassium permanganate can be added, and afterwards acids. By the addition of an excess of such acids purified sobaclc acids are sepa rated. To remove the odor of soap made from cotton-seed oil the oil is sometimes boiled with an.equal quan tlty of 25 per cent, soda lye for three or four hours. The Burma mill makes hard and soft soap, medicated and toilet soaps, soap for washing silk goods, etc. As an Instance, In making so-called ."floating soap," 420 pounds of crude oil, 30 pounds of bleached tallow, 50 pounds of resin, and 120 pounds of cocoanut oil are first boiled with weak lye, the strength of which Is gradually increased to 40 degrees Baume and the weight of whlcn corresponds to 360 ipounds. As soon as the paste Is formed 600 pounda of flea-bane seed (Semen psyllla) is added and then the mixture boiled until tho fin ished soap detaches Itself from the boiler in the form of a dough. The compound Is then perfumed, and shortly before pouring out some pul verized sodium of carbonate Is added The carbonlo acid set free permeates the soap and causes the formation of empty spaces, thereby lessening the specific gravity and giving the soap tho quality or floating on water. In making a lubricant for Indus trial purposes there is melted together 130 pound of castor oil, 20 pounds of animal fats, and 40 pounds of crude cotton-seed oil. Forty pounds of In dian meal Is then added, and the whole boiled for 30 minutes. In mak Ing a lubricant from the oil residues, 600 parts of the oil residues and 100 parts of the water are placed In a kettle of suitable oapxclty and brought slowly to tho holllng point. When all ttio oil Is dissolved there is added In small portions 40 to 60 parts of hy drochlorlo acid of 8 degrees to 10 degrees Baume and the mixture boiled and st.irrod for half an hour, At the expiration of this time, if the decomposition is complete, the acid forms a combination with the oil re sidues and tho greaso Is liberated In the form of a thick oil. After rest ing for 24 hours the water containing the salts and excels of acids U drawn off and the oil aevcrai times wahe4 washed wldh a large quantity ot wa ter to free It from the last twce of acids. It is finally mixed with 10, 20, or 30 per cent, of tallow, the quanti ty depending on the thickness of the on. la maKing lubricunts and relined olb us above, the local mill has had some success, and companies are be log projected in various parts of In din. I have heard of but one com pany that has been definitely organlz d. but the machinery dealers In Bom bay, and also In, England and Amcrl ca, are receiving letters of Inquiry every day. EXPORTATION Of SEED DEPRE 1 CATEt). Tho interest that Is being taken In cotton seed at this time is due In part to an agitation being carried on by some of the native papers In fa vor of local manufactures. They claim that the Increasing export of oil seeds from India Is a great drain on the fertility of the country, a very tonall proportion being returned as oil cake or other material that will finally return to the sou: also, that if manu Pictured In India not only would the fertilising inortlon of the soeda return to the soil, being applied direct or used as cattle feed, tout thai the manufacture would give employment to many and yield a return on .capital Last year the export figures fur all the oil seeds, except Unseed. Including cotton seed, rape, tesamum, earthnut, castor, poppy seed, etc., showed decld ed Increases, and the demand has caused a rise in price, and on most of the seeds tha prices tend to rise still higher.. ....

OIL CAKE UNKNOWN. .. Unlike Indian cotton, of which a very small amount goes to England, Indian cotton-seed exports practically all go there, the main centre if Im port being Hull. Hull doea a very large business In cotton seed, 'but uses nearly all Indian and Egyptian. The Egyptian seed is better and higher pvtctd tnan the Indian. Its chief ad vantage is that It has s higher average percentage of oil and la without the adhering fuza pr velvet that Is typical of the Indian seed, and which makes the Indian seed . harder for cattle to digest, aa well as more troublesome to manufacture and to obtain a clean oil. The Indian cake la less palatable and contains more woolly fiber, and In some cases it has been found to have bad effect on English cattle., .A Cotton seed has always been con sidered a valuable product In India. the percentage of oil making It a safe food In most cases, notwithstanding Its high percentage of husk and woolly fiber. It was also pressed In the rude country "ghant," but the husk and fuzs soaked up go much ot the oil that this process was costly and the oil so obtained nor pure, cotton-aeea ou cake ils i practically unknown In In dia, though other 11 seeds- seswu- mum,' i rape, samower. groundnut, nlggerseed, etc. are -pressed In every large village and cake obtained there from and fed to cattle.

At Lahore and Akola there are hydraulic press mills capable of dealing -with cotton seed, but at present they re at work on other eds.

Men of small, capital live more from day to day, week to week, month to month. But men erecting railroads, manufacturing plants; de veloping real estate; organising cor porations, require years for the ma turity of their plans. How many men of great ability have died pre maturely, when not only have large earnings been lost, but even tho funds invested In partly developed plans have disappeared for lack of ready money, which Life . Insurance would provide. CREDIT IS OFTEN THE PRINCI PAL A8SET OF A WEALTHY MAN. Mr. Armour once said that he made money by borrowing other people's money and using it better than they could. Good will and credit are often the most valuable assets of a con cern, more so than visible property. No wise man allows Visible, com bustible property to " bs- uninsured against possible loss by fire. How much more Important that the man who has built up large enterprises should be adequately Insured! There ara times, when financial conditions are acute, when the death of that member of a firm chiefly giving It credit has put an otherwise prosper ous business Into the hands of a re ceiver. Such men are likely to show physical wear and tear much earlier than those living easier lives. Many a map of large affairs, when advanced In years, has suddenly realised that his estate Is mora, dependent tgan ever upon his personality. For that reason he ought to have ready money, In case of death; but the Insurance he could have gotten easily In earlier years may be - forever beyond his reach.

Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires: neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that sprlghtllness of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman Is never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bitters restore weak women, give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, beautiful complexion.
