BAU)-HEADEDCOTTON SEED. i somethina CNew In tfto "Way of .Cotton : 8aed. . Charleston News and Courier. . - The Spartanburg correspondent f ,the Greenville News says, in a letter written a few days ago, that the Hnt less cottoii seed plant whose discov ; ery was aunounced in' the News and Courier last year and was much de ; frided- at that time, I "has come to "stay." ' . . V Mr. H. T. Ferguson exhibited a " stalk of the plant in Spartanburg-on Friday which contained three hun dred bolls; each boll filled with large plump seed. He has taken much, pains to get the variety perfect, and announces that he "will seed enough this year to plant the entire State." The estimated yield is four hundred ; bushels to the acre. The product is easily harvested, but the bolls must . be gathered as they beglh to crack, felse the seed will fall to the ground. jfThe yield of oil, it is further report 's ed, is about one-third mpre than that 4 of ordinary cotton seed. lit' If all these statemcntseliterally tj.true, it is! seen that SoutFTSaroHha t has developed another new and im .i portant agricultural industry, and 1 will soon Jbe able to supply the world . f with a practically unlimited quantity ( of vegetable oil, stock food and fer , . tilizers. It would be a remarkable . result truly, if the cotton seed crop should largely supplant the cotton crop, but it may come to that in the ... end.- These are record breaking ' " time.s and the cotton plant is as full . of surprises as a monkey. ; A hundred years ago there was ' some doubt , about whether cotton , could be grown in this country. This year there is considerable ' doubt ; whether we cart stop its - growing. Twenty years ago the seed were re ; garded as a nuisance. Nowtheyare probably worth more than the corn k crop, hay crop, wheat crop and hog crop all. Combined. Ten years from now thejint may be a nuisance, and. indeed itfis next thing to that now. Mr. Ferguson, of Spartanburg, is a good man to keep an eye on. He - may hay his "picture" in the school , ' books of ;the next generation on the page which is now devoted to Eli Whitney's.

Editor Star The question of raising Pecan nuts successfully in this State has been discussed in , the columns of the Star lately, ana several sections of the State having been heard from, I venture to give the experience of this locality in ex perimenting with this tree. My father, the late Dr. K. U. Hay wood, planted two- Pecan trees on the lawn in front of his residence about trie beginning of the war or perhaps a year: before ; they were grown from tne nut ana transplant ed. These trees are now very large j and vigdfous and can hardly be im proved on as shade trees. They bear nuts every year, some years the yield being three or four bushels but in other years it is quite scant; if we have a late frost it cuts short the crop but there are always some nuts on the trees. Our experience is that .they begin bearing in about ten or twelve years, mere are aiso pecan trees on the premises ot Messrs. B. P. Williamson, C. Bruce Wright and A. W. Haywood. " Mv father planted six of eight pe can trees on the east side of Capitol Square about fifteen years ago, and they are also thriving well. If I mis take not Mr. J. N.-Holding planted about two. hundred of these trees on his place in this county in 1885, but what success he had with them l am not informed. ., . . ... In this connection I will add that Mr. R. H. Battle has m front of his residence an English Walnut tree, which bears .most excellent nuts, but I have not heard of anyone else that has tried this nut hereabouts. : Trulv it seems we can raise almost anything in this grand old State., . SHERWOOD HAYWOOD. A MEXICAN STONE. Which Beats Tour Barometers All Hollow. Roy Meninger, of New Orleans who has just returned from a tour through Mexico, during which he visited many of the out-of-way places usually passed over by travellers, gives an account of -a singular rock to be found near the little village of Chilpancingo, in the Sierra Madre del Sur. This rock he describes as being possessed of the property of being able to foretell rain, and is said; by the natives to be infallible. Mr. Meninger himself was able to witness several exhibi tions of its remarkable power, which repeatedly foretold a shower twenty- four hours before any other warn ing of its approach was given. The rock stands alone in a little valley unusually fertile andjgreen, and seems to protrude from the ground rather than rest upon its surface. . It is irregular in shape, about; five feet in height and ten about the base, and in fair weather is of a dull grayish, tint and as smooth as pol ished marble, to the touch, but un naturally cold.1 On the approach of rain it loses its neutral color and be gins to turn a dingy red, deepest about the base, and a light pink about the summit." Its temperature increases to about 60 Fahrenheit, aijd it presents the appearance of being slowly heated by an internal fire. This heat and crimson color in-. crease rapidly as the atmosphere g.:6ws heavier, until the rain begins to fall, when; according to its des cent, the rock glows and becomes lighter in hue. When the shower is over . the warmth and color gradually depart, the gray tint is resumed and the rock becomes cold. During electri cal disturbances this mineral barom eter often assumes a" highly-heated appearance, emitting a pale blue light, and is so strongly charged with electricity as to be unapproach' able. Mineralogists who have ex amined the stone declare themselves at a loss to identify it. VANCE WILL GET EVEN WHTE HIM. a .Nineteen-Year-Old Beauty Onareed to His Account as a "War Widow. : "At the last session of Congress I played it very low down on my friend, benator Vance, of North Carolina. said T. F. Kennedy, Canadian Pacific ticket agent to a reporter for the St, Louis Globe-Democrat. "A rather pretty girl, with whom I bad a slight acquaintance, asked me for a letter to the Agricultural Department peo pie recommending her for a. place in the seed-distribution rooms. I went to Vance and he growled 'No, sir, in recommena no woman, tor a place.' . I argued and pleaded with him, finally saying: 'But Senator, this is a very deserving woman. She is old and unfitted for the struggle for existence. Her husband served in my command through the war, and he was a splendid soldier. He died on the field and left his wife penniless, Do a good deed; help this poor old widow... vance s hard heart was melted, and he exclaimed: 'By George, Kennedy, I'll do it if that's the kind of woman she is.' The letter was written and the girl got the job. Some months after this 1 was sitting with Vance on a steam boat, when up walked this bloom ing damsel she was about 19 with a 'how are you, captain?' to me. She recognized Vance and ad dressed fiim, , saying she had long desired to thank him for his great kindness, telling him her name, and how his letter had secured her a sin ecure. Vance looked at me as much as to say,' 'you just wait,' and ac cepted1 the young person's thanks and languishing glances very quiet ly. When she had gone Vance turn ed to me and remarked mournfully 'Kennedy, you are the biggest , liar and most stupendous fraud on earth. 1 11 pay you for this if I wait forty years. i..

The Ingenious Invention of, a Baltimore ! . .- Man. . 1 I ' Baltimore Sun. Among "the instruments invented for the preservation of life at sea that will be experimented with be fore the board of supervising mspecr tors of steam vessels in Washington September 28th will be an oil pro jectile and distributer. It is anap paratus for spreading oil on stormy waters, and is the invention ot Mr. Everett Dv Moore, of Baltimore, and has been patented by the American Oil Projectile Company, of which ex-Governor Groome is president and Col. Washington Bowie secre tary and treasurer. From private experiments made the 'projectile seems destined to be the apparatus that has long been wanted for dis charging oil on the sea from the decks of storm-ridden ships, and from the beach to stranded vessels. The projectile is a simple contri vance, and is operated by beingtired from a cannon. An, operating rope is attached to a rod at the side of the projectile,-afld by this means when it strikes the water it is handled from the point where it was fired from by being hauled through the water bacjc to the ship or beach. As the projectile travels back the water goes m one end and forces the oil out of the distributor through valves from! the opposite end. The oil thus ! spreads over the surface and makes a smooth road through the agitated waters. At Bay Ridge recently the projectile and distribut er were-fested with good results. Frojn a small cannon the instrument was fired about 500 yards off shore. The water was in a state" of moder ate violence, the waves being white- capped. From the point where the projectile dropped back to the beach a smooth road was left over the route the oil was discharged on, and the white caps disappeared entirely. With but three quarts of oil "in the distributer, a smooth surface was made wide enough for two steamers to pass abreast. If the projectile stands the official tests jt-will be an invaluable aid in the preservation of the lives of those who go down to the sea in ships. : A NORTH CAROLINIAN ABROAD The Saratozian, of N.
