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

A HalelBh Oorreapondent Telia How They
Thrive In "WaVe Ootinty. ' v
Raleioh, N. C, Aug. 26, 1891.
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.,

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

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

STILLING THE WAVES.
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. :
