the ton of cotton-seed was a better

And that the hulls of the seed made
the best of fuel for feeding the oil

And that the ashes of the hulls

People who can afford it should see
that they secure plenty of land for
building sites. Two lots will do, four
is better, six give ample grounds.
By adopting this plan we shall by and
by have a handsome village of at
tractive dwellings, set in pleasant gar
dens and lawns, instead of disfiguring
rows of close ranked tenement houses.
I am now prepared to take and ex
eeute contracts for building houses and J

About this time we begin to spell
cotton-seed with capital letters.
And how it travelled abroad in its
various dresses! as meal cakes it
whitened the meadows of England
with woolly fleeces and fattened the
British cattle under the oaks; it sput
tered on the stoves of the Dutch in
lieu of lard; it glistened in the cafes of
Paris as olive oils under seals and sig
natures it couldn't even pronounce
to save its life, and from under the
dikes of Holland it went forth to pa
rade in all the bravery of butter and
butterine.
In our own country it renewed the
wasting strength of Southern fields
and clad them with whiteness that
wouk shame the fleeces of England,
or yellow that would pule the fleeces
of Argonauts, It knocked the West
ern hog into spots and poured the
"Western lard out of the frying pan in
to the fire. It furnished ihe Armours
and Fairbankses with a pure substi
tute for the rancid fat they had been
shipping ns, and suggested the possi
bility of a clean and cheap lard.
And about this time Congress
jumped on to cotton-seed with both
feet, and proposed to check its further
career by a prohibitory tax.
And now comes a gentleman of this
been taken by Mr. A. M. Clarke and
the whole amount, $50, is to be worked
out under the direction of the Society.
This gives us a great boom just when
we most need it, and the next three or
four months will show a decided im
provement in the looks of the streets.

Rev. Dr. A. D. Mayo lectured in
Raleigh not long since on. ''Some
I things the People expect from Teach
ers." We didn't hear the lecture, but
we know what some of the things are,
for we have had experience. As a
rule, they expect a teacher to use a
$5000 education in earning a 8400
salary; to make brilliant scholars out
of stupid clods; to, be a specialist in all
departments of knowledge; to make
models of good behavior out of ''hard
cases" that have been given tip by
parents; to be always cheerful, always
courteous, always prepared for re
duction in salary or dismisal. There

A Romance in Oil,
is no doubt about the love teachers have
for their profession; they must love it j city with a process by which he ex
tremendously or they couldn't endure tracts thirty ..gallons of fine oil from
jt (every ton of cotton-seed meal after
the oil mills have done with it. In
the "tailings" of the oil mills he finds
this unexpected ample store, which he
deftly extracts with naptha, leaving
the meal more nutritious as food for
beast or field than before he took 810
per ton from it.
This process he has proved repeat
edly in his laboratory, and next week
will appear in wider practice in a mill
erected for the purpose near Atlanta.
This invention will add 40 per cent,to
the quant ity of oil taken by the old
pioeess from a given quantity of seed.
More than this, it suggests the
splendid possibilities yet uudeveloped
for this rural Cinderella that has risen
all so swiftly from the ashes of the
waste heap! Atlanta Constitution

Was there ever a history, this side
ot Cinderella, of the uprising of hu
mility, stranger than that of cotton
seed? See!
For seventy years despised as aJ
nuisance, and burned or dumped as
garbage. ,
r Then discovered to be the very food
for which the soil was hungering, and
reluctantly admitted to the rank of
ugly utilities. i
Shortly afterwards found to be nu
tritious food for beasts as well as soil,
and thereupon treated with something
like respect.
Once admitted to the circle of farm
husbandries, found to hold thirty-five
gallons of pure oil to the ton, worth,
in its crude state, 8.14 'to the ton, or
840,000,000 for the whole crop of seed.
But then a system was devised for
refining this oil up to a value of 81
a gallon ; and the frugal Italians placed
a cask of it at the root of every olive
tree and then defied the Borean breath
of the Alps.
The following is an extract from a
private letter to a friend in town. Vj
think it will prove interesting to our
readers.
Onnond, Fla., May, 1SSS.
In the main building of the Exposi
tion, near the farther end of the room,
was a barrel with this inscription:
"I beg all neat and charitable per
sons to drop into my wide mouth
orange peel, papers and trash. The
street and side-walks do not need them
and I am starving. Empty Barrel,
Green Cove Springs Street cleaning
Department." I can behold -as in a
vision, (A. D. 2000) the city of South
ern Pines with its magnificent build
ings and grand old shade trees, its
well kept sidewalks and broad streets,
from which every suspicion of "Black
Jack" has long since
little cottage occupied
offiee in the latter part
and several subsequent years, re
placed by a building covering the en
tire Block, the circulation of the Pink
Knot increased to a million and a half,
more or less; and when from some
other part of the universe, I look
down upon the scene of all this prog
ress, I shall have the proud conscious-
(toets that I was a member of the first
Village Improvement Society of South
ern Pines, if I did join and then run
away the next night.
What has all this to do with the
empty barrel at the Exposition?
Nothing, only the barrel was suggest
ive of clean streets, and my thoughts
turned naturally to the S. P. V. I. S.
and the welcome visit of the PlNE
Knot every week with its account of
work done and real estate purchased,
has kept alive my interest in the little
village, which is the far-famed city of
my vision. ...
By the way, a young lady who is a
member of the V. I. S. in my r.ative
town, often speaks of the society as
the Village Imps.
Some very rain y Sunday when you
cannot go to church please: write me a
nice long letter and tell me who has
joined the society since my departure,
and what you intend to do when Kail
road street is in order, "et settery" as
Josiah Allen's wife writes it.
