In stating the estimated average

:o the fact that the- figures relate to

OiHrlal Oottos M*adards.
..On the' subject' of qflteial cotton
itandards. the bulletin states, that,
while there are practical difficulties
In the way of establishing hot form
Itandards for the leading grades of
cotton, they are^not believed to be
Insurmountable, and that the estab
lishment of such standards, even if
applied only to cotton tendered on
future contracts, should go far to 're
lieve the present situation. Refer
snce is msde to the work being done
In this connection by the Department
af Agriculture. A review is given of
the law providing for the establish
ment of such standards, and also of
the action, in conjunction with the
cotton growers, etc., in carrying it
out. One hundred and seventy-Ave
?eta. each consisting oT 9 boxes? ^t hat
la, I box for each grade, and in each
box 1 3 samples showing the range
t>f diversity In the particular grade ?
have' been prepared,- but only ISO of
these will be sold, the selling price
being the cost of preparation. The
remaining- 25 sets will be placed hi
vacuum stofege for use in keeping
the grades up to the original stand
ards. Vacuum storage" represents a
new departure In preserving cptton
itandards, the experiments of the de
partment Indicating thfkt the cotton
In vacuo stored in vaults will not un
flergo deterioration on soconnt of
light, moisture, or atmospheric and
Dther influences. Proper provision is
also made to preserve the Integrity

With reference to tbe estimated
saad production, tbe bulletin states
that greft6r care than- heretofore la
now being exercised to selecting aeed
for plaa ting.. and thftMfchla, with im
proved methods of 4Mfch*S?' tends to
the ' production of more- lint than
formerly.- In Mewnat these comtf^

.tlng the quantity of seed produced
In 1909. Upon thia baa Is It is esti
mated that there were tons
of cotton seed- produced In 1909, ae
compared with 5.903,838 tons In
1908. Of the 1909 total, tbe num
ber of tona treated by tbe oil mill
was 3,969,078. having a value per ton
of 927.73 and affording producta val
ued at $105,712,597, distributed aa
to kind and quantity as- follows: Oil,
120.996.549 gallons, valued at *55.
226,718, or 42 cents per ghllon; takfc
and meal, 1,325,975 tona, valued at
$35,914,354. or 917.99 per ton;
hulla. 1.189.204 tons, valued at 39.

ers. 296.640 baleslVtlaed at M..765.
647, or 3.2 cents per pound.
. The result of the endeavors to con
solidate and enlarge tbe potton-gln
nlng establishment b la illustrated by
the fact that the cotton crop of 1905
was ginned in 29.038 establishments,
tbe average quantity ginned being
366 running bales per ginnery; while,
the crop of 1909 was handled by 26.
669 ginneries, the average being 381
balea per ginnery. The average num
ber of bales ginned per active estab
lishment in 1908 was 478. A .re
sponsible factor, not' to be overlooked
in comparing the avera^fes for 1909
artd 1908 is the fact' thaV tbe produc
tion In 1909 was largest In the east
ern states, where there are fewer
modern ginneries. As a result of the
use of larger ^nd more modern gin
narlaa'in the West, tbe/average num-,

! COTTON OIL
[- * f ? .. .. , \
Ten years ago the Use at cotton ol
forcible purposes waa in IU Infancy
Today the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany aells annual!* 100.000 barrel
to bakers and others for this purpose
Bakers soon found that the oil goe
further, and Is taore eonrenlent t<
use because of Its liquid form. It be
lng their custom to melt whateve
fat they put In bread. The use o
this oil has kept within reasonabK
bounds ths coat of other fats, the pro
ductlon of vhlch hare not kept pac<
with the world, consumption. Thi
Wesson process deserves the credl
of bringing about this large increase
In the use of cotton oil, which hai
conferred the benefit of cheap fati
upon thoee who do not use It. as wel
an those who do. by Increasing th<
aupply of edible fat.
The South Is by far the largesi
consumer of oil. as well as Snowdrlfl
Hogless Lard made from cotton oil,
?nd Is rapidly becoming Independent
In respect to fat supplies of the corn
and hog producing 8tates.
To Supply Houth.
The supply of cotton oil 11 now
imply sufficient for the total wanu
ef the south, and It la merely a ques
tion of education when all the re
quirements of the South will be Ulled
by the home production or the cotton
plant.
Loading up to this much-to-be-d fe
ared condition Is the last production
of the Southern Cotton Oil Company,
"Weason Snowdrift Oil." This new
quality, the origin of which has been
described, has been in use under the
older brand of Wesson Cooking Oil
for about tfcree months.
The pubHc has not failed to appre
ciate thla. as Is shown by the fact
that the ssles of caae oil In tins foi
the last two months has doubled
those of any equal time in the past.
Atlanta alone. In two months, hai
taken 4,000 cases, equal to 120,000
2-pound cans of oil.
The demonstration now going on
at 228 Main street will show how
veil this material can be used In
place of cqpfri&g butter.
The dsflsonstratlon also shows that
the salad dressings made are Juat aa
good as those made from the best
olive oil. *
How to Use "Wewon Snowdrift Oil."
So handle that no odor Is given off.
but that of the food being cooked.
Directions:
Use clean vessels.
Don't spill oil on stove.
Don't heat hot enough to smoke,
but test the temperature by a bit of
bread ? size of a 10-cent piece. If
thfs browns In half a minute the oil
la hot enough for frying etiquettes or
potatoes. If It l^kes three minutes
brown the oil is fiat' dnounti to
parch ahnods. >
* Tn baking bread or c aJte never let
the heat be sufficient to char the
^rust.
These directions are of like value
tor any fat
Everyone living in a home with a
basement kitchen Is troubled with
the odor fit cooking, most of which
)an be avoided bycareful observance
the aboVe rules.
Odor from butter and other cook
ing fats comes from disintegration or
breaking up of the parts as evidenced
by smoki.
Most cooking fats smoke and smell
it low temperature, but give previous
warning by sputtering due to water
contained. Which evaporates at 212
degrees.
Wesson 8nowdr!ft Oil on the other
hand does not smoke until 4 SO de
trees of heat Is reached, and on ac
count of contalnTng no wster gives no
warning by sputtering. The degree
of best Is much too high for cooking,
(lehce the necessity of testing tem
perature as described.
The ablHty of Wesson Snowdrift
Oil to stsnd high temperature ensblei
a careful cook to avoid sny odor u a
lag It, except that given off by the
food being cooked.
The truth of these statements cat
be verified at the demonstration now
being conducted at 228 Main street
under the auspices of' Ihe Womsn't
Betterment Association. What Is be^
lag done there csn be done In even
kitchen If cleanliness snd care b*
taken. \

MANY KILLED HEH SffllKLEH FEU
Three Hundred People Were in Building? Many Res

Montreal. Quebec. June 13. ? Be
tween 20 and SO people lost their
lives today when .(he supports of the
sprinkler system tank of the roof of
jthe Herald building cars way and
the great mass of metal and water,
weighing SB tons, went crashing to
the basement.
Fire broke out imemdiately, add
ing Its horrors to the disaster. The
firemen displayed splendid heroism
in rescuing scores of people from per
ilous positions in the toterlng walla.
Some of the walls had to come down
before the work of recovering the
bodies could be safely attempted and
it was nqt until after 6 o'clock this
evening tha the first boay, charred
and mangled beyond recognition, was
brought out. All of those who es
caped agree that the first warning of
the Impending disaster passed almost
unnoticed.
There was a slight creaking; thea
a little more, somewhat more pro
nounced, but it was not until the cell
ing plaster began to fall that p rush
for the stairway began. Before any
one reached It, there occurred a final
deafening crash and then chaos.
Some survlvlrs tell of falling one and
two floors before the awful crash died
away and then they found themselves
able to crawl through the dense dust
to a place of safety. The majority
sought safety by rushing to the front
building, facing on Victoria square.
Fortunately, all the floors held for
about 30 feet back from the front
wall and to this Is due the fact that
the, death list does not run into the
hundreds, for there were 300 people
In the building at the time. ,

one year of Artuur Ipock, of North
Carolina, who was convicted at New
Bern, N. C.. of conducting an illicit

BKTTKR ROADS.
The different Chambers of Com
merce In one of our .Southern States
have come togetffer and are hrfting
road models made, each about 2 1-2
by 5 feet in Blze, of eight varieties
of macadam road, and of other forms
of road making, those of simple earth
and of sand clay, gravel, ftelford,
burnt clay, oiled earth ? In all, four
teen forms of construction, modeled
from the real materials designated
and united by an adhesive to keep
in place, Bhowlng at a glance how
each partlcualr style of road is made,
and how differing from other forms
a short kindergarten course In mod
ern road making without words.
These models will be exhibited by the
association at many points in the
State at the fall fairs and at various
gatherings, while at the ?>tate fair
some one will be present with the
models to discuss and explain any
problems of roadmaklng not proper
ly understood, and to strongly advo
cate and recommend the great value
of good roads In any 8tate or section
for Its agricultural, Industrial, social
and even Intellectual upbuilding
(making it easier to get to and from
the. schools) and Thit good road -in
vestment is simply another way of
saying good paying investment."
While this would be too Expensive
for Beaufort county, yet It Is well
enough for us to keep up with what
other sections are doing, else we will
be lost In the mire. Beaufort county
could have good roads If she would
use a little sand in her clay and a
Httle clay in her sand, then ditch and
use the split log drag. I^et each
farmer build a split log drag.

? men found the windows of the upper
floors crowded with people, and -the
crowd on the sidewalk urging them
not to jump, ladders were yvickly
plsced in posliloa and those in dan

One ladder was hoisted, reaching
to the fourth floor, on wl^ich the
bindery was located. It came be
tweeu two windows. Prom one of
these a little girl crept along the cop
lng until she could reach the ladder
Grasping a rung with one hand and
placing a foot on another she lent a
helping hand to eight other girls
twice her site. When all the girls
had reached the ladder and had been
brought down to safely, she came
down alone. By this ttme the fire
hsd started and smoke was . pouring
from the front windows. The little
jglrl fainted when she reached the
bottom of the ladder. ?
A doxen injured people were
brought from the, ruins by the fire
men, many of them with broken
limbs. Of these rescues, that of Fred
Vldal, a stereotyper, was the most

men reached the building Vldal was
heard groaning and was located un
der a girder from which he could not
be dislodged. Despite the fact that
the flames were creeping perilously
near, three flrexqen began to cut It
away and stuck to their task. In the
crowd outside was Father Martin.
When he heard of the fight against
death he went Into the building and
administered the last rltee of the
church to the semiconscious man.
Finally, however, the beam was cut
through and Vldal was released not
a moment too soon. Both his legs
and some of his rius were uroweu.
