Marathon, Tex., Jan. 11.— UP) —
In this little southwest* Texas town
domestic rubber is manufactured
from the guapule plant, which grows
wild all. over this section. A factory,

brush. Beneath its outer bark is a
sap, known as latax, from which the
rubber is made.
The shrub is put up in bales, like
hay and the sap is pressed out in a
machine called a pebble mill. About'
30.000 gallons of water, supplied by
wells, is required to produce a ton
of rubber. The plant is ' gathered,
root, audall. and bring about S4O a
, ton at the factory here.
The finished product comes from
the presses in sheets about three
inches thick, 30 inches lond and 15
inches wide. \

NEW JERSEY TO CELEBRATE
Many Celebrations in Commemoration
of Historical Tvents.
Trenton. N. J. Jan. 11.—Petriotlo
historical and other societies of New
Jersey are preparing for a year of
extraordinary activity, for the coming
twelve months will see numerous cele
brations ih commemoration of events
of historical interest, culminating In
the sesquicentennial of The American
Declaration of Independence.
During the war for American in
dependence New Jersey was the field
of great political and military activ
ity. The eighth and the tenth Con
tinental Congress met* in this state,
in 1783 and 1784 respectively. Next,
fall marks the 150th anniversary of
Washington's retreat through New
Jersey.
At the beginning of 1777 his army
was encamped at Trenton, and Corn
wallis advanced from Princeton to
attack it. In the battle of Prince
ton which followed Washington per
formed one of the most brilliant ex
ploits of the war, taking, the enemy
in the rear and saving his own army.,
A week before he had surprised
,nnd. captured a force of Hessians un
der* Col. Rahl. He afterward win
tered in Morristown, I®. 1778. he i
harassed General Clinton in New Jer
sey, when the British commander wtih
a very large force had left Philadel
phia for New York, and fought the
battle of Monmouth Courthouse.
The first of the local celebrations
will be held next month, in commemo
ration of the two hundredth anniver
sary of the birth of Abraham Clark,
one of the five New Jersey signers of
the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Clark was one of the most
influential men in the colony and in
the new state. Elizabethtown was
his birth place. • He was a lawyer
with a large practice before the be
ginning of the Revolution, his special
ty being matters of surveying arid
conveying. He gave so much le
gal advice gratuitously that he was
known as “the poor man’s counselor.”
Under the royal domain he was
high sheriff of Essex county and clerk
of the colonial assembly of Amboy.
He distinguished himself as an ac
tive member of the committee of pub
lic safety at the beginning of the
Revolution. ,
Together with Richard Stockton.
John Hart, Francis Hopkinson and
John Witherspoon he was elected by
the provincial congress a delegate to
tlje Continental Congress, and signed
the Declaration.
He waa elected to the next Conti
nental Congress, and from 1776 was
re-elected continuously until 1783,
with the exception of one year, 1779.
From 1782 to 1787 he was a member
of the New Jersey legislature.
His influence was so powerful that
he was held responsible by the peo
ple for all of the important measures
that were passed during his term of
service.
Abraham Clark was called “the
Father faf Papr Currency,” because
he was supposed to have influenced
the introduction of the measure that
established it. The paper money of
the Revolution depreciated so rapidly
that in 1780 forty paper dollars were
worth only one dollar in specie, and
in another years the paper currency
was valueless.
Clark became a member of Oon
’ greas in 1791, and died in office. In
[ the friction with Great Britain over
the question of compensation to Amer
ican citizens for injuries from Brit-
ish armed vessels and that of the de
livery of the western posts, he in
troduced a resolution to prohibit all
intercourse with Great Brfitain. A
bill to this effect was carried in the
House by a considerable majority, but
lost in the Senate by the casting vote
o{‘ John Adams, the vice president.

Raleigh. Jan. 11.—(A>)—The condi
tion of Stnte Treasurer B. R. Lacy,
regarded yesterday as critical by at
tending physicians, had improved
slightly this morning. Mr. Lacy, how
ever, it was stated by Dr. Albert An
derson, attending physician, might
still be regarded as in a serious condi
tion.
Mr. Lacy, who for years had been
suffering from asthma, contracted a
severe cold last week and developed a
toxic condition. Some improvement
during the week led friends to believe
that he had only had one of the,recur
ring athmatic attacks, from which he
had rallied so often, blit Saturday
night hiß condition became worse and
was regarded as critical. Day and
night nurses are in attendance upon
the aged Treasurer, and Dr. Anderson
is being assisted in treating the case
by other physicians.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady at Advance of 3 to IS
Points, With Active Months Higher
After Cali.
New York, Jan. 11.— UP) —The cot
ton market opened steady today at an
advance of 3 to 12 points in response
to relatively steady cables and conlin-'
ued reports of improving trade iu (jot-;,
ton goods, botha t homeland-abroad.
Active months sold about 6 to 14
points net higher after the call, on
covering by local shorts with some
trade and speculative or investment
buying, but the advance to 20.00 for
March and 18.28 for October evident
ly attracted considerable realizing with
a little Southern selling. This cheek
ed the advance and caused reactions
of 10 or 15 points from the best, which
gave the market a reactionary appear
ance at the end of the first hour.
Private cables from Liverpool this
morning said that owing to difficulty
in buying desirable cotton South, con
tinental interests were securing sup
plies in the Liverpool spot market,
and also that southern shippers were
