Use riant la Operation bt the Mew Bern
. Cotto Oil and Fertilizer Mill. A :
Fine Plant. ,
, .The. new coltou gin of the New Bern
Cotton Oil and Fertizer Hill waa in
operation laat Monday and during tbe
week has ginned and baled about 800
bales of cotton. . Its ' operation, was ex
plained yesterday by Mr. T. C. . Hyman
aad It was a very Interesting sight -'.
. The hsw building Is a two alory af
fair, tO by 50 feet, sad Its roof and four
sides are of galvanised iron. , It stands
Just north of the cotton seed warehouse
that forms part of the Oil Mill. There is
a dock 800 feet long with a shed at ; tbe
head for unloading vessels. ; The steam
power Is received from the mill, mi
:TH gin hy what; is known ait.he
"Hunger Byetem" and its operation la
la very nearly perfect, with the' various
appliances for labor saving, v In the first,
place, the seed cotton, when unloaded on
the dock Is conveyed bya'puH" which is
a tin pipe abouf 13 Inches In diameter, to
the milk the "poll" Js 885 feet iu length,
tho largest one the Munger System has
pal la Cnd ft works perfectly. ... Whei e
the pips eaters the gin building there Is
a swinging arm tbst drops down for an
losding wagons, which are first weighed,
loaded at the scales and then re-weigned
The seed cotton is csrried through ,tbe
pipe by a strong draft created in the glh
by a rapidly driven fan, and it aucka up
the cotton quickly when It is placed near
theopening of the pipe.
Upon entering the building the' seeJ
cotton is sucked Into the cleaner and all
tbe diit and trash Is blown outside, tbe
building and It la then distributed to tbe
thret 10 saw' gins where the cotton la
separated from the seed and the latter
carried by conveyors across to tbe seed
storehouse. The cotton all goes Into
one condenser and Is carried over to the
press.
Tne press itself Is a pretty contriv
nee. There are two boxes on a re vol v
lug platform and Into one tbe cotton Is
continually dropping, and as a certain
amount enters a steam trsmper descends
and presses the " cotton down until
enough for a bale, about 450 pounds, is
In. The platform then revolves so that
the second box is ready to receive the
cotton, while the first box goes under
the heavy press and the bagging and ties
are placed on tbe newly formed cotton
bale. Tbe bale la released by a lever
and slides ont through a doorway Into
the yard. Tbe bale tbua formed ia very
neat looking and the sides are trim and
square and it la not quite as large as the
bale pressed ia the less powerful presses.
The capacity or the gin Is from 85 to
4 bales daily. Thirty five were baled
yesterday and aa the.work was behind
hand, the gin has been running until 19
o'clock st night. A new set of boilers,
two 100 horse power each, -have just
been put Into the mill plant. 8team waa
formerly obtained from the Broadussnd
Ives shingle mill but will now be lnde
pendent. The boilers are in a subatan
tial new brick building.
Customers bringing seed cotton to tbe
gin can have It ginned at the same price
as elsewhere and get a greatly Improved
product aa a result of the perfect cleaning
improvements hsve been added to tbe
oil mill and the whole plant Is a substan
tial and modern one. The oil mill will
start up tbia week.

, A Protest and Plea. '
Editob Jocrhl It was uulte s sun
prise to note In the Jouesal of Wednes
day soon an arraignment of Foreign
Missions aa that contained' .la the eorav
muntcatlon from your More head corres
pondent. As It was evidently based on a
misconception of the facts, he will par
don a brief review of this phaae of . his
subject. ,
.- Leaving it to able pena Xa reconcile
the discrepancies of belief among the
various denominations, It la only nece
ssry to remark that In carrying the gos
pel to the heathen, they all stand upon
.the broad platform enunciated in the
text: "God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whoso
ever belleveth ia Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life." From tbe fact
that missionaries of different creeds not
infrequently intermarry while la fore
ign lands, t Is to be' presumed that the
points of divergence are not ao strongly
accentuated there as in our own , coun
try. Certainly, each church hears cheer
ful testimony to the worth of the others
in the work of evangollaatlon. ; 1 , i
Yoor correspondent' labors under -an
especially grave mlsspprehenslon in his
statement that "Christianizing ork has
not yet reached the Hindus or the Eski
mos." Missions for the Eskimos were es
tablished by the Moravians, in Greenlsml
snd Iceland at an esrly date, not very long
after the colonisation of those Itlanda by
Europeans. A Society for propagating
gospel among the Hindus was Organized
by the Baptlats of England during tbe
last decade of tbe laat eeqlnry, and Wil
liam Carey, 'the consecrated cobbler,' as
he was sneeringly called, waa its .first
missionary. Carey Is considered the
pioneer in modern missions, his patriot'
Ism snd wide erudition acceptably serv
ing both his country and hla denomina
tion daring his long residence In India,

Indebted for tbst beautiful hymn we are
wont to sing on sacramental occasions.
beginning:
"O thou, my soul, forget no more
The Friend who all thy sorrows bore.'
The work ia India waacontinued early
in the present century by, the Congrega
tlonaliats of New England, and the Bap
tists of the United States under the leader
ship of Adoniram Judson, whose name
has become a synonym of Christian hero
Ism. In recent years the labor of the
Rev. Mr. Clongh, among tbe Telugus are
regarded aa the marvel of missions,
while those of Dr. Joseph Chamberlain,
the miasionary physician whose faithful
service for the last forty years has
brought healing to the body and soul,
have been scarcely lesa blessed. Really,
we might argue from these successes
that Hinduatan Is not only tbe cradle of
modern missions, but the arena-of Its
most vigorous growth.
Time would fell to refer, at length, to
missions In Africa, where tbe climate ia
even more insalubrious than In Hindu-
alan, to the labors of Moffett snd
Livingstone, Lolt, Carey (himself a ne
gro) and Bowen, men who counted not
their Uvea dear unto themselves that they
might carry the news of salvation to tbe
benighted negro. And atlll they go

Mr V ass, undeterred by heai, or .burn
ing sands, or the prospect of early death
at their poets.
A pathetic illustration of a missionary's
devotion to his work came under tbe
knowledge of the writer within com
psratively recent years. A noble young
man relinquished a handsome fortune for.
a life of privation In Africa, taking with
him, as hla bride, a lovely, -consecrated
girl. But a few years elapsed are her
life went out on tbe altar of duty la that
dlefant land, but her dying words to her
husbsnd, "NerSrglve hp Africa," ought
to go sounding down be ages as a con-,

Prof. Hutchinson and Miss Rett Danielle
:- Tbe Aeronauts, to Give ExhibU .
i ." u Mom During the Fair. -A -
Ths visitor to a fair have come to
look upon balloon ascensions aa being
absolutely essential, and no matter bow
meritorious the exhibits may be, bow ex
citing tbe racing,- how Interesting tbe
Sids Shows, unless there is s balloon as
cension and parachute jump the fair's a
falure. '
We've experienced this feeling. We've
heard visitor aay upon several occa
sions, "Oh, pahawt There wasn't any bal
loon.
: Can't ssy .that this yesr.
We're going to give you some of the
best serial exhibitions you ever saw by
aeronauts Who have a world-wide reputa
tion. Every day Prof. Hutchinson snd
Miss Rett Danselle will make a pire
chate jump from an Immense gas balloon
thousands of feet Id tbe sir.
It is Prof. Hutchinson who holds the
record for making tbe highest ascension
in gaa balloon. Only one man ever
went higher than he. one Prof. Mioguel,
who startled the world by bla exploits in
Europe. Ho accomplished the feat of
going a quarter of a mile higher than
Prof. Hutchinson, but when the big air
vessel came down he was found iu the
bottom of tbe basket car a corpse, with
the valve string tightly clenched in his
hand. Tbe heart action could not stand
the high altitude reached, and after
opening the valve of the balloon in a
desperate attempt to reach terra firms
alive, he died,
l'rof. Hutchinson and Miss Retta Dan
zelle will give an exhibition eery alter-
noon during the Fair, and have promised
the Fair Association that they will as
cend higher than any aeronaut ever in
New Bern.
