MRVA 1 OR M. C. BI'ILER.
A correspondent of the Washington
Capital has thia paragraph: ’
The warm friendship which exists between
General M. C. Bnira, Senator from South
Carolina. and Dos Camebox is well-known in
Warb-ngton Th' £ .'.i!. Senator had, until |
the recent lease of Cameeox’s elegant house,
a suite of rooms in it, which were as much his j
as if he, instead of Camebom, owned the
house. The Repub’icans have wondered at
this intimacy, but not nearly so much as have
the Democrats. The Republicans, however,
•re ready to blear the tie that binds, whatever
it is, because it secures them from any politi.
eal Ices in the Senate through Camebom’s ab- :
eencein Europe. It is known, whether that
absence be long or short, that on all political
subjects Eutt-fb is paired with Camebon, j
Feme of the Democrats magnates have re
monstrated with Euti.ee, telling him that it is
bad politics to make such indefinite pairs, but
he replies that Don may stay as long as he
likes, and be sure that Lis pair is all right.
Fenster Ecteeb doubtless reminds himself
that if Don Camebon had so willed it, Senator
Famfton would hive had a Republican.col
league all those six year*.
Years ago an uncle of Gen. Butler was
Benatcr from South Carolina. He then did ]
some favor to Hon Simon Camebon which
the latter never failed to remember. When
Gen. M. C. Bt-ti.ee presented bis creden
tials as a Senator from South C rolina,
Hon. Simon Camebon notified, it is said,
his son and successor Donald that the time
had some for returning the obligation of a
former period. Had Don Camebon been a
mere partisan he would have, very likely,
prevented Gen. Butleb from securing his
seat. But the son had a keen sense of
honor as the father had, and with a courage
that was as admirable as the gratitude
was rare he literally rose above fac
tion and played the part of a heroic gen
tleman. From that time forth Senators
Camebon and Butleb have been warm
friends, and it is within che writer’s
knowledge that the attachment is founded
upon something much more ideal than a
mere reciprocity of obligation. Senator
Camebon admires Senator Butleb and has,
on numerous occasions, found that he was
a friend to count on. It is the custom for
Senators-to pair with each other indefinite
ly if necessary. Senator Butleb does ex
actly right in so pairing with Senator
Camebon, just as Senator Fbye pair
ed for many months with Senator
Ben. Hill when the Senate was much
more closely divided than it may be next
December. No man of sense or honor
will object to Senator Butler’s action. We
are satisfied that Southern Democrats will
commend him for it. Barring his politics.
Senator Cameron is a man cordially liked
by Democratic Senators and ready to re
spond to them in all proper ways. It will,
therefore, be seen that Senator Builer has
no reason to be harshly criticised for this
intimacy, and that he is perfectly right, in
an amicable and parliamentary sense, in
pairing with the Pennsylvanian, just as
long as any necessity exists for such action.
COTTOS SEED OIL..
The Cotton Seed Oil Manufacturers have
had tkCir convention. It was numerously
attended, and took place, appropriately
enough, at Chicago - the headquarters of
adulterated lard. Some of the proceedings
were private, but, like executive sessions
of the United States Senate, will probably
leak out. The P/esident, Mr. Aldige, of
New Orleans, in his opening address,
spoke oi the wonderful increase of the
business, in all its ramifications. He also
referred to the oil cake and cake meal
trade, pointing out that those trades were
developing rapidly at home, and that they
—as well as the oil trade -would undoubt
edly have an immense development
in the future. A brief address was
made by Mr. Baker, of Selma
who stated that cotton seed oil had become
a standard article of food in New England
and other portion"' of the country. Old
time ignorance and prejudice were disap
pearing, and this product had assumed
proportions of usefulness and comfort noj
dreamed of twenty years ago. He said it
bad already supplanted olive oil in the
American market. The refiners of this
country now bottled their best cotton seed
oil and put French and.ltalian, olive oil
manufacturer’s labels on it, and almos’ all
the alleged European olive oil sold in this
country was cotton seed oi! bottled in
America. A friend of his visited Paris
some time ago and was shown over an olive
oil factory in that city, The visitor had
intended bringing some olive oil from
Palis with Lira when returning home, but
the first object that caught his eye in
the Parisian factory was several hundreds
of empty cotton seed oil casks from Louis
iana he decided to buy his olive oil at
home. As they all knew, the cotton seed
oil that was exported was used for mixing
with olive oil or was bottled pure and sold
M olive oil. He believed it was better than
olive oil, as the latter would spoil in a
given time if pure, whereas the adultera
tion preserved it and kept it sweet for any
length of time. He believed the com
plaints that had been made regarding the
oil as a food or as a cooking sustance arose
altogether from bad oil having been used—
oil made from bad seed or oil that had
been spoiled by negligent and careless
refining. To have proper packages for the
oil was also an important consideration,
Th ; s oil was the best possible adulterant,
and just in proportion to the percentage of
the oil that lard was adulterated with would
the lard be improved.
Mr. Caleb A Deeb of New York, said it
ws only a question of time when cotton
Seed oil will supplant lard, olive oil, but
ter, etc., for cooking purposes. The con
sumption is increasing at a wonderful rate.
As a prooi of this: The crop of the season
1879’80 was about 200,000 barrels, and
of this .140,000 were exported, leaving
©I,OOO for home consumprion. In 1881-
*B2 the crop was 350*000 barrels, of which
only 15,C00 barrels were exported, show
ing that about 335,000 barrels were used
at home. For the present year, of which
only nine months are gone—over three
fourths of the total crop had been used up
to the present, and, as nearly one-fourth
is still in hand, there has been almost no
exportation. He knew from experience in
in his own household that the oil is supe
rior to lard or other substances for cook
ing. His firm tried it some time ago, and
are using it with most satisfactory results.
Formerly the greater part of the oil crop
went to soap manufacturers, etc., but now
there is such a demand for it for food that
only the worst part of the refuse goes to
the soap factories. The people in the
North and East seem to know nothing com
paratively about cotton seed oil. The oil
CHRONICL BAND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA. GA., WEDNESDAY, .JULY 11, 1883.
•efiners are now putting up the best oil in '
barrels branded ‘for cooking purposes,’but
ths trade is what may be called wholesale \
only up to the present. What is wanted
is that it shall be put up in smaH cans so <
it may be retailed to the public direct from
the refiner, and placed before the public j
in competition with lard, etc., and in an i
available form.
We are pleased to know that the pure
article, bland and wholesome, can be pro
cured in Augusta where it is refined by j
our enterprising and honorable dealers. It
should take the place of Western lard I
which has grown to be an abomination and j
possibly a breeder of disease.
A CORRECTION.
Some days ago we inadvertantly credit
ed to the Abbeville Medium an article pro. |
testing against the building of cotton fac
tories in that region. Gen. Hemphill calls i
attention to the fact that the editorial
should have been assigned to the Press
and Banner. He adds:
We had nothing to do with it and don’t agree
in any way, with the views expressed. We
believe in and have advocated diversified in
dustries and know that it is best to manufac
ture our own cotton goods. We have the cli
mate and proximity and there is money in
factories. * • * There is honor and digni
ty in all kinds of labor and no one need be
ashamed of any honest employment. There
may be grease, dirt, small pay and hard work
in a factory but any one who does faithful ser
vice in such humble labor deserves and will
receive the commendation and good will of
the public.
We cheerfully make the correction, the
more so as our friend has so excellent an
opportunity of declaring hia sentiments in
his own admirable way.

ALBANY ARTESIAN WATER.
We see from the Albany News that Mr.
W. H. Babbett, of this city, inspired by
recent statements in the Chronicle, has or
dered a barrel of the famous artesian
water and that it will be presently put on
draught so that any" sufferers from stom
achic troubles here may test this wonder
ful Georgia production.
Our Brother Mclntosh seems to think,
in this connection, that because the Chroni
cle has such tender, incessant and paren
tal care of the health and diet of its nu
merous readers, necessarily the writer
of such articles is a dyspeptic, His health
is reasonably good, but would no doubt be
still better if the Albany fountain or a
second edition of it were located on
Broad street in Augusta. In lieu of
that we must depend upon the man with a
bar’l. It is not at all convenient for us to
visit Albany at this time, not from fear of
malaria, but because of many duties that
compel a very close stay in Augusta, which
is, at this writing, much pleasanter than
any place in the southwestern portion of
the State. We congratulate Albany upon
its mineral water, its people and its news
paper. Some day there may be a pipe
line running from the artesian well to Au
gusta, unless indeed, as the Chronicle has
occasionally urged, some progressive citi
zens should experiment at well digging
and strike a mineral water fountain of
their own.
HON. SAMUEL DIBBLE.
Hon. Samuel Dibble has written an elab
orate letter to the Columbia Register, de
fining his position on the Speakership,
and, incidentally, defending his political
record. Mr. Dibble is a man of the pres
ent and not a dweller among the tombs of
the past. He realiz°s that the South Car
olina of 1883 is not the South Carolina of
1860. He proposes to be abreast with the
best thought and experience of the age,
and not an abstractionist of an era that has
passed. He reminds his countrymen that
the Republicans would welcome a reopen
ing of the tariff issue upon the part of
the Democrats at a time when nothing
practicable couid be accomplished against
a hostile Senate and President. He main
tains justly that a Representative should
not be a mere puppet, and that the ipse
dixit of an editor is not necessarily the
voice of the whole people. He contends
that he conscientiously believes the wel
fare of the Democratic party depends
largely upon the election of Mr. Randall
to the Speakership. Mr. Randall was a
good enough Democrat, in years past, and
be has done nothing since to impeach his
personal or political probity. Mr. Dib
ble recalls the fact that Mr. Randall’s
Democratic leadership was, not so many
years ago, of notable service to the South
and especially to the Palmetto State. Mr.
Dibble does not say so, but the implica
tion is inexorable, that the men who pro
pose to read such a man out of the party
are making themselves ridiculous. Mr.
Randall's own record shows that even on
questions of the tariff he stands where the
Democratic party has stood for forty years,
unless its platforms were monstrous fab
rications. The fact is that when Southern
free-traders propose to read conservative
protectionists out of the Democratic party
there will be no Democratic party left
worthy of the name or numerous enough
to make headway against the common
enemy.
Believing that the agitation of the tariff,
as a leading issue in the Presidential cam
paign, will play into the hands of the Re
publicans and inure to Democratic dis
comfiture, Mr. Dibble favors its relegation
to future canvasses, and proposes to fight
the battle of 1884 on the wider and more
tremendous field of corrupt Republican
misrule. The drift of the National De
mocracy is with Mr. Dibble and against
the marplots of Kentucky and some other
States.
Mr. Dibble has spoken words of truth
and soberness. They should be heard
with the respect they deserve. We have no
doubt that he will find plenty of Southern
men to keep him company next De
cember.
Some of our South Carolina friends, who
voted for Judge Cabpenteb and Gbeelet,
are asserting themselves as much better
Democrats at this time than some of the
leading men of Georgia, living and
dead. South Carolina would be none
the worse for the possession of
some of the men thus found fault with.
Our Greenville friend admits that he has
taken some bitter pills, in the past, but de
clines to do so in the future. If in Ohio,
he would presumably imitate young
Thurman and bolt the nomination of
Hoadly who happens to be a recent con
vert to Democracy, but was too straight to
take Gkeeby.
We admire the pluck of our Greenville
contemporary; but much more commend
the attitude of Samvel Dibble who, true to
himself and the best interests of hia country, |
as he conscientiously believes, fixes the j
attitude of a Representative at a value and
height beyond that of an automation. There
is an honest difference of opinion upon
the subject of the tariff and the Speaker
ship. It is to be hoped that harmony will ,
be reached in the election of a Speaker '
who can command the respect of both '■
friend and foe. The Chronicle agrees I
with Mr. Dibblb that Mr.
possesses the better qualifications for ■
party success in and out of Con- :
gress. If the majority of Representatives '
ordain otherwise, be it ad. Among the
other Democrats to be chosen there are
good and patriotic, men. They will have
the support of the whole party or ought Io
have it. And no man will more cheerfully
or poweifally hold up the hands of a Dem
ocratic Speaker than Samvel J. Randall.
whois in the party to stay, and cannot be
read out of it by those who now protest
against his election to the Speakership.
TALLULAH FALLS.
Varied and (Picturesque Scenery Along
the Northeastern Railroad as Seen
by Our Correspondent.
(Correspondence of the Chronicle.)
Athens, Ga., July 4.—1 had been visit
ing in Athens for several days, enjoying
the dreamy ealm of that pretty little city,
and was enjoying myself to the utmost. I
had a pleasant room at the Commercial
Hotel, the fare was excellent, the water
fine, the servants well-trained*- This would
seem enough to satisfy the most captious,
but I had the additional pleasure of an
intimate acquaintance with the proprietor,
CapL Williams and his wife.
They fulfil my ideal of a happy English
couple. The captain, who was for many
years a sailor, and master of as trim a ship
as ever sailed, has been for the last twenty
or thirty years, in the employ of the South
ern Express Company, as agent and enjoys
the fullest confidence and esteem of that
company. Mrs. Williams is a hearty lit
tle matron, with a cordial interest in
everything which concerns the well being
of their guests, while their nephew, Mr.
Lloyd Williams the junior proprietor, at
tends to all the business, in a manner sat
isfactory to all travellers.
After a few days sojourn at this pleasant
home the question of Tallulah Falls was.
brought up. To be out of the fashion is
to be out of the world, and Tallulah is the
fashion this year. Five years ago New
Holland was the attraction; then Mt Airy
was the rage. This year it is Tallulah,and
no one who has the love of nature in his
soul can wonder at the taste which draws
crowds to visit this grand master-niece of
her hand.
Finally deciding that it was a moral im
possibility to miss seeing the falls, we
bundled up bag and baggage and bowed
out of sight by polite Mr. Williams,
boarded the N. E. train for Tallulah.
The party consisted of three ladies,
Mrs. W , plump, rosy and merry:
Mrs. H , tall and commanding, and
your correspondent, whom I cannot, of
course, describe.
The scenery was very tame and uninter
esting, for the first part of the way, but
we varied the monotony by picking
whortleberries at one of the stations where
the train stopped to take in wood and wa
ter.
We had the passenger coarfh pretty
much to ourselves, as there was but few
passengers. Two Methodist ministers con
versing about their congregations, a gen
tleman going up to visit his family, two
young men on the watch for pretty girls
at every station. From Lula the scenery
began to grow more varied and pictur
esque; presently the purple outlines of
the distant mountains began to rise into
view, while nearer were circling belts of
gloomy sobbing pines, with green fields
and cool, gurgling streamlets which sprang
into existence amid the plumy ferns and
mosses on the mountain side. The road
crosses eight trestles, and the outlook, as
seen from the car window, of the moving
panorama of field and wood hundreds of
feet below, is something grand. As we
neared Tallulah, the obliging conductor
ordered the speed slackened, that the pas
sengers might obtain a full view of the
grand chasm.
I never expect to see anything more awe
inspiring. No words of mine can give
even a partial description, because even
the minutest shadows, or flash of light,
added a special significance to the picture.
The road bed lies in a rugged, rocky
gorge, but here and there through the'
cleft wall we could see the majestic hills,
wooded to their very summits, rising and
sloping one afeer another. From every
crevice mosses, dainty fern and hardy wild
flowers and creepers drooped and clung in
rich p/ofusion, while soft purple shadows
filled the great chasm.
Again, the embankment shuts out the
view, and again it comes in sight —grand,
mist-wrapped silent. The last mile of the
road is a marvel of engineering skill. The
solid rock was blasted out, and the road
bed built up. Just one mile is said to
have cost several thousand dollars; more,
in fact, than any five miles of the other
part of the road. F.
ICE.
(New York Times.)
It has been repeatedly pointed out that
ice is destroying the American race. The
ice water that is universally drunk by
Americans who believe themselves to be
temperate, chills the stomach, renders
digestion impossible, and makes the con-
■ sumer a hopeless dyspeptic, even if it is
not responsible—as many persons believe
it to be—forthat almost exclusively Ameri
can malady, Bright’s disease of the kid
neys. But there is another evil wrought by
ice in this country cf which no notice has
yet been taken. The practice of preserving
food on ice is rapidly demoralizing the
American palate and rendering us, as a
nation, incapable of dining like civilized
beings.
This is the season of the year when
strawberries are brought in ice to this
market. The effect of the ice is utterly to
destroy the flavor of the strawberry, even
if it does not convert it by freezing and
subsequent thawing in’o sodden, leath
ery, unwhole s ome garbage. People who
buy the early strawberries either find
them detestable and ever afterward avoid
strawberries at all seasons; or they actual
ly learn to like the flavorless fruit, and
thus reduce themselves to a point in the
scale of culinary barbarism to which even
the native Indians have never sunk. In like
manner ice is destroying all capacity on
the part of our people to appreciate
fish. Nearly all the trout and salmon sold
in the market has been frozen. The flavor
of the trout is totally annihilated, and but
little of the flavor of the fresh salmon re
mains. It is probable that few of our citi
; zens who consume trout and salmon have
■ ever, in the course of their whole lives,
: discovered how those fish really taste when
I uncontaminated with ice. They eat fish
because they understand that on cccasions
it is the proper thing to eat, but they
might as well eat finely comminuted saw
dust sprinkled with fieh bones.
Years ago the writer of that clever satire,
“My adventures in Skitzland,” described
the ingenious construction of the Skitz
landers which enabled them to send their
stomachs to a resturant and have them
filled with food without the trouble of eat
• ing. Dining with us will in time become
as mechanical a process as it was in Skitz
-1 land. We shall fill our stomachs with
food from which the flavor has been driven
by freezing, or with the wretched meats
| and vegetables that have been reduced to
i uniform tastelessness by the “canned pro
vision” dealers.

YOU ALL KNOW
WHAT A DIFFICULT MATTER IT IS
to keep children well shod. Every
week or two you are called on to get a
pair of shoes for Willie or James, Marie or
Lizzie, or perhaps all of them. Kou all say,
“Wh is it that shoes wear out so fast ?” We
wish to tell you that in most cases it is the
parent’s fault. You buy shoes too light in
substance. The sole of the shoe searcely ever
wears wears out, but the upper gives away
quickly. If you will only take our advice your
children’s shoes will look better and wear
longer, and you will save money. Do you
want to know how all this can be done? Buy
hand-stitched shoes. Discard Kid and Light
Goat and get French Calf shoes made to meas
ure, such as we make for S 2 50 to S 3 a pair.
While on this subject let us say to you that of
•late years sole leather tips have been much
worn. * e know they wear well; in fact it is
impossible to wear them out; but what have
they done? Don’t your children have more
ingrowing nails, more corns than fjrmeriy?
The wearing of such tips is undoubtedly the
cause. We make these shoes because the peo
ple will have them We try to talk the pa
rents out of buying them. Leave them aeone,
a nice fine French Calf will wear a long while,
and if they do get “kicked through” at the
toes get a nice calf toe cap put on. You will
save your children’s feet and yourimoney by
coming to as and getting our best Hani-
Stiiched Shoes made to order. We are having
a big run on our Ladies' French Kid B»atton
at $5. Our men’s shoes are much sought
after. Hand-Stidhed Boots and Shoes are our
specialties, although we have good lines of
