N. C. STANDARD FOR ILLUMINAT
ING OfXS.
Elliott Closed Cup Adopted For Test
. by Oil Committee.
: The oil committee has adopted the
Elliott closed cup to determine the
standard for illuminating oils in this
state. Upon' this subject "Mr. R. N.
Reed, manager of the Gulf Refining
Company, Atlanta, Ga., in a letter to
Commissioner Graham, says:
"I note there is some discussion as
to style of fire-testing cup to be
adopted. The Elliott closed cup Is
the best and most severe testing cup
.nefw in use in any of the states, north
or south. It is impossible to obtain
other than a correct test when the El
liott closed cup is used. The writer,
or any. other oil man who is thor

made and make the test vary from
12 to 15 degrees. This of course de
pending on where the device is setting
at time test is made. If in a slight
draft the vapors will be carried away
as fast as formed, whereas in the El
liott closed cup there is no chance for
them to be blown away, they accumu
lating under theclosed cup.
"Pardon 'me for writing you on
this subject, but I assume it is the
desire of you and the other state of
ficials to adopt the best testing cup,
thereby assuring all residents of the
state that they will secure a safe and
satisfactory illuminating oil."

SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES FOR BENT
LAKE MATTAHIUSKEET
Will Be Sold by the Slate
Board of Education
It is Said That Mr. J. O. Wright,
United States Drainage Expert, Has
Effected Sale to Ohio Capitalists.
$2 Per Acre Sold on Condition
That Lake Must Be Drained.
The state board of education held
a lengthy session this .morning, the
subject under consideration being the
sale of Lake Mattamuskeet.. When
seen today after the meeting State
Superintendent J. Y. Joyner, secretary
of the board, had but little informa
tion to give out. He. stated authori
tatively, however, that Lake .Matta
muskeet would be drained.
From other sources it (s learned
that a sale of the property has been
effected through J. O. Wright,' the
United States drainage export. A
party of Ohio capitalists have offered
to take the property over at a price
of $100,000, an average of $200 per
acre. The North 'Carolina board of
education has practically decided to
accept the. offer.
It is also . learned that the sale is
conditioned on the formation by the
Ohio parties of a North Carolina coi-
iroratlon to drain the lake and that
the purchasers niust join in the' drain
age project with other land-holders
in the Williatnsport drainage district.
This will insure the drainage of that
fertile region and at the same time
allow the, state to get the. burden off
Its hands at a satisfactory figure..'
