Dr. A 1 Phillips, jjenSraP su perintendent of Sabbath Schools and young peoples societies of Our assembly, conducted a "Con ference or our Church and her Young People" in the First Pres byterian Church of Concord,. N. C, February, 11th and 12th, 1902. To say that the Conference was a success and an inspiration is but mildly to express our feel ings. The awakeuing "was phe nomenal. The enthusiasm aroused, prodigious, the helpful ness, immense. We, who were privileged to attend, felt that the assembly has done the right thing, and has placed the right man in the right place. On Tuesday morning, Febru ary, 11th, the Conference was organized, with Rev. Jno.Vake field, Presbyterial Chairman of Sabbath Schools, in tbe chair, and Rev. C Preston, secretary. About eighty-five superintend ents, teachers and Sabbath School workers, were enrolled, and numbers more attended the services. Dr. Phillips captivated the en tire audience by his first talk, on "The Young People in Mission ary Societies", and we remained captive as long as he was with us. His differentiation between young peoples' missionary' soci eties and young peoples' societies for work atid worship ; was unique, but practical and plain. It opened our eyes to many op portunities and advantages, long overlookedor neglected in the past. The exposition of a Model Presbyterian Sabbath School, in which the "Assembly's Four teen Points of Excellence" are found, was so simple, and yet so suggestive, that many of s were condemned on the spot, but all were encouraged to make new efforts on determination to attain to, and utilize more of these characteristics. Words cannot express the in spiration in, and derived from Dr. Phillip' address on "The Bible in Modern Education," it was superb, and ever j one who hears it will receive a comfort ing and lasting benefit. "How to Teach the Lesson" was ably and delightfully illus- i tratpd, and the plea for a, "Graded Sabbath School" con-i verted many of us who had h.n ; doubtful or op1-'- u y -, Thy Pneutition or exhibition ; of equipment, books? chart, ' maps, objj$(p, sand-box, etc.,; was indeed a revelal :nn to ihuso' who hvre never realized how much v. distance can be secured for our Sabbath School work. But the closing address was supreme, 'Missions in the Sab bath School and the Sabhath Sobqpl in Missions." Though sufferingffom great hoarseness, Dr. Phillips excelled himself jon thisreat snbjuct as the expe rience meeting following at tested. P. COTTONSEED MtNCFACTCRE.

"Instead of these six. machines the new process simply dumps the seeds, just as they come from the gin, into a vav containing chemicals, and in twenty min utes it is claimed the hull will pop open and the denuded ker nels fall to the bottom of the vat while the hulls float on the top ofthe solution. If tho kernels are to be shipped a distance to an oil mill they are dried first, but if this first process is at the oil rnill then the kernels are passed immediately from the vat to the crushing rolls and it is claimed there is a saving of 50 per cent, in tho cost of of producing crude oil.. The refining process is no more ex pensive, and it is claimed that the finest olive oil on the market can be duplicated from the product. "Another great taring is in the shipment of the denuded seed to cotton oil mills. The weight is reduced one-half and thabulk two-thirds. The hulls that rise to the top of the vat are in shape .Tor paper stock and worth from $20 to $40 per ton, showing a gain of from $9 to $18 Over present practices of treat ing cottpn seed w the point of rooking the meal for extracting the oil. "This proaess for whiijh application of patent has been made is said to be in successful operation in Washington City, and can be worked at any gin nery, saving the large amount already mentioned to the owner of the seed. The saving under ; this proceed will permit the pay ment of several dollars a ton more to the farmers for cotton iee dand it ie claimed by the owners of the new process that it means a revolution in the business and millions of dolln'rs to the cotton farmers of the South.

He will go to Union xneoiogicai seminary at men- mond; Va. He will probably be there some threo mouths. He has not decided on a course of action after that time. While not daring to restrict him in broadening his field of labor wo are exceedingly loath to see Mr. Preston leave his splendid work here. Reception to the Bridal Pair.
