Websxsdat Moritckg, March 11. c - -1- i ... - 8AYIVO , THE WASTE Intention, discovery and science permit little to 0 to waste these ' days, and millions are now realized from things that not many years ago were regarded as useless and thrown away. Once, and not so very long ago, either, the steer was valued for his beef, tallow and hide. The rest was thrown away. Now everything from hoof to horn is turned to good account. And so with the hog, of which only the hams, sides, shoul ders and lard once had a commercial value. Now there is nothing of the hog that is permitted to go to waste. It is not so many years ago that the cotton crop was valued for the lint only. Now with the 500 cotton seed oil mills the seed is an impor tant factor of the crop, and is worth nearly a quarter as much as the lint. Not many years ago the corn crop was valued only for the corn it pro duced, but now the stalk has a com mercial value that would, if the whole crop of stalks could be util ized, be worth as much or more than the corn. For generations the saw palmetto, which grows so abundantly 4in some sections South, of us, was regarded as a nuisance that persisted in grow ing and the extirpation of which in volved too much labor and expense. Now it has been discovered that it supplies material for the manufac ture of paper, and also' tannin, onA f Vi a mmVtaVtilif Job oro fViaf. if. mav instead of a nuisance become i source of wealth. Science is investigating, experi menting, finding out the value of things, and the genius of the in ventor is supplying the methods and machinery to utilize them and make them profitable. .For generations the yellow pine tree was valued only for its lumber and turpentine and rosin. The limbs, slabs, bark, sawdust, knots and roots went to waste. The mills burned the slabs and sawdust to get them out of the way. Bat that day is passing, if it hasn't already passed. Science has found use for these and the inventor has furnished the methods and machinery to utilize them. How is told in the following which we clip from the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record : Correspondence of the Manufac turera Record reveals an ever-increas ing Interest In plans for the economic utilization of what has loner been re girded as the waste of the lumber trade. Some advance has already been made in the treatment of sawdust, slabs, rough end, etc, for the prodac tlonof commercial articles, and sev eral plants are now in successful ope ration.' and tothers are contemplated for handling fat lightwood found in limbs, the upper part of the trunk and the stumps and roots of Southern pines, by the process known as de structive distillation, which produces from a cord of fat lightwood between twenty and thirty gallons of turpen tine, besides Ur and a number of oils containing valuable medicinal and wood-preserving qualities. The industry of saving is in its in. fancy, and in the meantime another saving is likely to be effected through the encouragement of the United btates Government of tnrpentine op erations designed to obviate the pres ent wasteful and destructive system of bsxlng the trees, the method being that devised under Government au spices by Dr. Chas. EL Herty of Geor gia. The need for such a reform movement in turpentine operations is shown by official figures. In the sea son of 1903 the production of spirits of turpentine by the old system of box ing amounted to 600,000 barrels, val ued at $13,200,000, and the production of rosin was 2,100,000 barrels, valued at $4,200,000, making the total value of the crop $17,400,000. Had the new method been applied to the same area of timber, it is estimated that the pro duction of spirits of turpentine would have been 1,050,000 barrels, valued at $23,100,000, and of rosin, 4.675,000 barrels, valued at $7,350,000. the total product being valued at $30,450,000. Ben is shown a loss to the Southern naval stores industry of $13,000,000 in one year, to say nothing of the dam age wrought by the old method to the forests. A writer in the Manufacturers' Re cord points out that the price at which the long-leaf pine forests of the South are now. held makes it difficult for a man of small means to secure a loca tion for the manufacture of turpentine and rosin. The usual method of ex tracting the gum by boxing the tree is considered by mill men damaging to the forests, for the reason that the box weakens the tree so that the wind can blow It down easily, and that If fire should unfortunately get into the woods the tree will burn at the box on account of the turpentine to such an extent as to cause the tree to die. The new process which has been given an impetus by the . national bureau of forestry will serve In some degree, the correspondent notes, to diminish the possibility of such Injuries to the for ests. Considerable capital is being in vested In pottery worksjto make cups for turpentine producers to use to catch, the gum, instead of boxing the trees;, and if the operators who work on a large, scale find that the system is all that is claimed for it, there is no doubt that milllonss or dollars will be added to the income from the tur pentine industry in the long-leaf pine forests of the South and will prolong the life of those forests. Here are two things, both of im mense value to the South, in prog ress; one with its by-products, add ing millions to the value of the pine timber, so much of which had for ages gone to waste, the other gath ering so much more turpentine from the trees while .at the same time prolonging their life, both of which, of course, add immensely to the value oi me pine forests, not only as valuable producers buValso giving more time for new growths, to take the place of the felled timber, and thus preventing the rapid deforest ing of the land. The work of Dr.Herty has passed beyond the experimental Btage, for after a sojourn in Europe and noting the methods pursued there in extracting sap from trees, he ex perimented on lines suggested by what he observed there and the re sult was his system of treating the pine tree to get the turpentine. This method has been subjected to practical tests, systematically con ducted, which leave no doubt as to its practicability and value, so that with these two new departures in what may be called the pine indus try, we will have two methods of saving wastes that will add. millions to the income from the forests of the South. TWO KINDS OF LEADERS. There are among the negroes of this country two kinds of leaders, one of which, including some of the distinguished churchmen, play ing the role of political agitators, as if the ballot and office-holding are the paramount considerations with the negro race. These are now clamorous over the 'wrongs" of the negro, and active in organizing clubs called "Kooseveltlnvincibles." which rjroDosa to take an active and ag gressive hand in the coming Presi dential campaign as supporters of candidate Roosevelt. There is another kind composed largely of churchmen and teachers, who believe that the paramount question with the negro is to seek his material, domestic, social, edu cational, and moral betterment, and to this end counsel industry and effort on the part of the negroes, and the cultivation of friendly rer lations with the white people with whom they are thrown in contact. A short while ago we published a series of resolutions on this line adopted by a conference at Tuske- gee, Ala, and here present some more on the same line adopted at a recent meeting of presidents of col ored agricultural colleges at Chatta nooga: "We wish to emphasize the import ance of that peculiar line of work to which our schools are committed We. regard the development and improve-, mentof the negro along agricultural. mechanical and democratic lines as of primary importance, as it conduces to useful and productive citizenship. "We address ourselves to the mem bers of our race, most earnestly call ing attention to theopportunty offered by noble farm lire for the avoidance or the idleness, poverty and squalor so often incident to city and town life. "We are mindful of the wisdom of the Federal government in providing far the endowment of agricultural and mechanical colleges throughout the various States; also the supplementary aid extended to our people by the Southern States and philantbrpists and organizations. "We regard with high favor the movement now being inaugurated by the general educational board toward betterment of the rural schools of the south and consider it the most power ful influence of the century for the spresd of education among the masses. "We regard with keen interest the proposed change in the policy for tbe further distribution of the Peabody fund looking toward the concentration of the same upon a normal college for the training of teachers for the south ern schools." There is no politics in this, but who will say that the men who talk thus are not better friends of the ne gro race then the political agitators, who are endeavoring to turn its thoughts away from the field of in dustry to the field of politics, where it has nothing to gain but every thing to loose. THE LEGISLATURE. Through our Raleigh correspon dence and special telegrams the readers of the .Star have been kept informed from day to day as to the proceedings of the Legislature, which closed its work and adjourned Monday. No Legislature ever met' that pleased everybody, and that is the case with this one, but whatever the difference of opinion may be as to Bome of its acts, we think the general verdict will be that Its. in tentions were good and that it was inspired by a desire to do what was best, as it saw it, for the good of the people as a whole and for the best interests of the State, regardless of section. Politics in the strict sense, figur ed very little, perhaps not enough. It was too one-sided for that, and being so one-sided there was little temptation to inject politics into the discussions of proposed meas ures. But Borne of these may, and doubtless will, figure in politics later, not because there is anything wrong or essentially bad in them, but because they afford schemers an opportunity to misinterpret, mis represent and assail, as they doubt less will when the work of the Leg islature becomes a subject of discus sion upon the hustings. But the probabilities are that the people will see through this and the motive, and therefore it will not hurt as it might have done a few years ago when the . promiscuous multitude of negroes had ballots to cast. . Great Britain bought from Can ada last ' year butter- and cheese to the amount of $25,000,000. Ameri cans had the run of that business until some exporters did a crooked business by dumping frauds on their customers, when the Canadians took the bulk of the trade.

A Kansas jury has just given a young woman $13,000 damages for injury to a knee and shoulder, $12, 600 for the knee and $500 for the shoulder. The difference in the assessment was because the jury figured out that she depended more for support on her knees than on her shoulders, and therefore she needed this allowance. Hon. Wm. J.

A good, plan to beautify residences and public buildings ' In towns and cities is by means of window boxes. One of these, which has been in suc cessful operation for two years, la on the wide window of a town hall In an Iowa village and Is especially design ed to keep the plants at their best through the heat of summer. It Is hung bew the window sill and is made of galvanized iron. Into it the plants are set without being removed from their ordinary pots. This is done for two reasons first, that great quantities of water may be poured into the box and drunk up through the bottom of the pots, thus making it possible to supply water freely during tbe sunny hours of the day without discoloring the leaves or wilting the blossoms. Tbe constant supply of water has been found to keep the plants in luxuriant flower throughout tho greatest heat' of sum mer. The second advantage of the sepa rate pots is that a plant of transient flowering capacity can be inserted for the sake of variety and removed when its blossoms are exhausted. These va riations can be thus accomplished without endangering the roots of neighboring plants. As the various flowers grow they can be reset In lar ger pots. This was e? Y done success fully with an ivy whose branches were clinging tightly to the sides of the box after some years' growth. Another portion of the bouse front which can be treated to a variation of the window box is the stone or Iron rallingnat the bead .of a high stoop. A box filled with the smaller plants and trailing vines can be suspended over the sides of this. A Sight For Sarah. Of a certain bishop, famous as about tbe plainest man In England, the Liv erpool Post tells this pleasing tale: One day as this homely parson sat in an omnibus he was amazed by tbe persistent staring of a fellow passen ger, who presently unburdened himself -as follows: "You're a parson, ain't you?" "Well, yes; that is so." "Lot;!; "ere. parson, would you mind comin home with me to see my wlfer Imagining the wife was sick and neeiiic.c: assistance, the clergyman at great inconvenieneo to himself went with the man. On arriving at the bouse tbe man shouted to his wife to come downstairs, and, pointing to the astonished parson, said, with a grin af delight: "Look e 'ere, Salrry. Yer said this mornln' as I wur the hugliest chap in England. Now. just yer look at this bloker Geese That ,ar Golaea Effea. Once upon a time there was a pro moter who owned a common, everyday goose who laid tbe usual, ordinary goose eggs. He conceived the scheme of syndicating the goose on a gold egg basis and proceeded to do so. He informed tbe trusting public that soon his goose would lay an egg of gold each day and offered for sale stock In the Golden Goose Egg com pany, limited, at bedrock prices. There was a wild rush for the stock, and the promoter suddenly found himself wealthy. He continued to sell the stock as long as there were buyers, for he did not want to kill tbe goose that laid the egg. His goose continued the same ordinary fowl as before. Moral.

The cotton market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of eight points unuer oetter Liverpool cables than ex pected, but almost immediately turned easier as a result of selling by room tracers who were influenced by the larger receipts indicated for the nay. xne weather reported through out the South, however, continued unfavorable to the free movement of cotton to market and floods were reported in the lower Mississippi valley, with rains more -or less genera ranging from a trace at Uharleiton to 2.60 inches at Little hoc. Xhis stale or affairs was re garded as favorable to tbe operations 01 tne bulls, for while it is recognized 4.1 A Am 1 . 1 w . 7 tnat nooos at mis season nave usuallv proved beneficial to the coming crop. the point upon which the local short contingent lay the greatest stress at present is the movement, and with tne weather map apparently reflecting tne probability or a decrease in tbe figures for the near future, covering became more insistent, and the market receiving iresn support from thebulle, Tallied sharply. Speculation was active ano prices worked rapidly upward to the close which was steady at a net advance of eight to twenty-five points. Sales of futures estimated at 500,000 bales. Aside from" the ' -weather and flood news the day's developments were not entirely favorable to prices The port receipts notwithstanding the weather turned out in excess of early expectations, amounting to 29,852 bales; against 23,006 bales ' last year, while interior receipts for the half week footed up 45,938 bales against 39, 523 last year. The estimated receipts for-leading points to-morrow were also . liberal but the reduction in the Galveston slock on an ac tual count was increased to 59,000 bales, and tbiPr-.it tsaaid, will be de ducted from the total amount brought into sight to date as well as from tbe American visible. The Southern spot markets did not respond to the ad vance In futures, remaining generally unchanged, though firm, while the New York market was advanced twen ty points, to 10.10. But the weather conditions and the clique auprjort con tinued the dominating factors at The f close at practically the best figures of I tbe day, vs .-.w-rx Nbw Tobi, March 10.
