TO UTILIZE THE COTTON STALES.
Hod. Harvle Jordan, president of
the Southern Cotton Growers Asso¬
ciation, has recently been elected
president of the Cotton States Pro¬
duct Company, a $16,000,000 concern
organized about ten days ago in
New York City, which proposes to
utilize cotton stalks foi the manu-
fluiture of high grade paper, alcohol,
eoihrnerelal fertilizers, smokeless
powder, gun cotton, and other by¬
products. It is figured that when
this company gets actively to work
with $100,000 plants at different
points In the South, it will add an an¬
nual valuation of $60,000,000 to the
present cotton crop. This on the
estimate oi between ten and twelve
million tons of cotton stalks at $4 to
$6 a ton delivered at the mill.
“Ithas been demonstrated,” says
the Baltimore Manufacturers’ Rec¬
ord, “that all grades of paper, from
the best form of linen to the lowest,
can be manufactured from cotton
stalks. In addition to this, a variety
of by-products, such as alcohol, nitro¬
gen, material for gun cotton and
smokeless powder, can also be secur¬
ed In paying quantities. The time is
not now far distant when paper
plants equipped with all modern
machinery and devices for making
paper and the utilization of the other
by-products referred to will be built
and placed in operation throughout
the cotton-growing States of the
South. The establishment of these
mills for the manufacture of paper
from cotton stalk* will develop a new
Industry of enormous proportions and
instltdtc the utilization of a waste
product which at the present time
has comparatively, little or no value
It will prove the entering wedge of
checking the present Increasing cost
of paper. It is estimated that on an
area of land producing a bale of cot¬
ton, at least one ton of stalks can be
gathered. Upon tills basis of calcu¬
lation tills new industry can annually
depend upon from 10,000,000 to 12,-
000,000 tons of raw material.
“This will not only furnish neces¬
sary supplies to meet all home de¬
mands, but also permit of the export
of pulp or finished products to foreign
countries. At the present time there
Is approximately $287,000,000 investr
ed In paper mills in the United States,
with but few plants located in the
South. The bulk of the material
going into the manufacture of paper
at the present time is spruce pine,
which is annually becoming more ex¬
pensive In the depletion of the forests
and the high prices which such tim¬
ber commands In the markets for
other uses. The ultiUsatton of a
waste product such as the cotton
stalk, manufactured into commercial
paper, will be a boon of inestimable
value to the w hole country.”
Another benefit from tills use of
the stalks will be the destruction of
the boll weevil, which spends the
winter in them.

Real Debat* oa Lie# !•*«** —New
Light on tb* ConMItutton—Commit¬
tee Room* Stacked With Velanee
Fascinated With laterroaratleas.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, June 30.—[Special.]—At¬
tention has been called to the great
amount of talk indulged in by the first
session of the present congress, and it
has been shown that more words have
been spoken than at any one session
of the national legislature. In some re¬
spects this may not be regarded as
highly creditable, but It la an Interest¬
ing and satisfactory fact that the de¬
bates during the session have been of
a high character. Interest In the pro¬
ceedings generally has been augmented
by real debate on lire Issues. Of course
there Is always more or less talk for
“borne consumption,” and "campaign
speeches” are always made, but for the
most part tbe discussion has been upon
tbe many Important bills.
Constitutional Disoussion.
The students of constitutional history
and men who will study the Important
changes in our system of government
will find much In the debates of
this congress to attract their atten¬
tion. Although the constitution is
more than a hundred years old and
has been discussed and construed dur¬
ing nil that time, yet we find the ablest
minds In congress differing radically
as to what tbe document means. There
has been a deal of this talk during the
sessiou about the constitutionality of
bills and acts which were considered
and passed. There will be found In
these debates a trend toward constitu¬
tional changes—changes brought about
by legislation and decisions of a divid¬
ed supreme court. Freedom of debate
always prevails In the senate, and for
the most part during the session this
hag been true of the house. The “spe¬
cial rule" has not been Invoked so much
for tbe purpose of shutting off talk as
to prevent votes upon some ticklish
question. -K
An Inquisitive Congress,
The committee rooms are stacked
With volumes punctuated with Inter¬
rogation points. The senate has had
scores of hearings, and some commit¬
tees have sat day after day asking
questions and getting answers. But In
this regard the house has beaten the
senate two to one. Its committees
hnve heard even'body on every con¬
ceivable subject. Hundreds of men
have had their views embalmed In the
"hearings,” while members of con¬
gress with an Inquiring turn of mind
have vied with each other as to who
could ask the most questions. Much
of this Information has been useless
and never even considered a second
time, but there Is some wheat in all
the chaff, and some facts developed
which were useful In shaping legisla¬
tion and which may be used In tbe
future. As an, example of much ma¬
terial wasted muy be mentioned the
rate hearings. Thousands of pages
printed and indexed, with careful sum¬
maries of the evidence prepared by
experts, were given to each senator
nnd circulated wherever wanted. This
evidence was referred to once or twice
In debate, but It had not the slightest
effect In shaping the legislation either
in the committee or the senate. An¬
other case somewhat similar was the
hearings before the lnteroeeanic canals
committee on type of canal.
Presidential Influence.
In both Instances It may be said tbe
“hearings” had to fight presidential In¬
fluence und lost. The railroad bearings
were apparently conclusive that the In¬
terstate commerce commission should
not have the power to fix rates. Not
only did railroad men show that It was
unnecessary and legal lights that it
was unconstitutional, but shippers in
large numbers came forward and testi¬
fied that they preferred to do business
with the railroads rather than with the
commission, but Roosevelt was still
emphatic when he sent In his message,
and railroad rate legislation had to
pass. Testimony for a sea level canal
was produced by the cartload, and at
one time there was an actual polled
majority in the senate for that type,
but when the vote was taken the ad¬
ministration programme carried by
five votes. So also lias the adminis¬
tration been successful In many other
matters, notably In the meat inspec¬
tion act, the pure food act nnd the Im¬
migration act. Some of these meas¬
ures were lying dormant until a strong
Intimation came from the White House
to the effect that the president wanted
action this session, when they were
pushed forward with speed.
Pretty Well Cleared.
Both houses of congress have shown
a disposition to clear tbe decks of Im¬
portant business and leave as little to
the short session as possible, with the
result that there Is less “left over”
business than In many years. At first
there seemed to be a disposition to
postpone action on bills described »s
measures which everybody seems to
favor and which nobody wants, but
inauy of this class have passed.
Dentist a* Well a* Surgeon.
Kepresentatlve Cousins of Iowa once
referred to General Grosvenor as “that
eminent surgeon." He might now call
him a “dentist.” The manner in which
he extracted the teeth of the Immigra¬
tion bill gives him a high rank In the
profession of "legislative dentistry.”
To absolutely eliminate the vital part
of a bill with one simple amendment Is
certaluly a remarkable achievement
A Tragic Finish.
A watchman's neglect permitted a
leak In the great North Sea dyke,
which a child’s finger could have
stopped, to become a runlous break,

land. In like manner Kenneth Mc-
Iver, of Vanoeboro, Me., permitted a
little cold to go unnoticed until a

BUCKET SHOPS MUST GO,
$o Decree* Harvle Jordan, of South¬
ern Cotton Association,
Atlanta, July 4.~“We will break
up these bucket shops,” said President
Harvle Jordan, of the Southern Cotton
association. In speaking of the bill pre¬
pared by the Atlanta Credit Men's as-
eoclation, which la to be Introduced in
the legislature as a substitute for the
Boykin anti-bucket shop bill now pend,
lng.
“A thorough canvass has been made
of the business Interests of the state
to bring pressure to bear up the legls.
latorB. The movement la gaining much
•trength.
“The idea la not to prevent manu¬
facturers and others from protecting
their sale* and purchases, but to shut
the bucket shops out of the atate,
thereby decreasing the amount of
gambling, especially la small amounts.
“There Is no telling what will be the
result If the south does not quit spec¬
ulating In cotton. The manipultor*
are draining the country of the sur¬
plus money brought into It by the con¬
tinued prosperity.
"Enough money was lost by specu¬
lation In Georgia last year to estab¬
lish several big cotton mills, thereby
increasing the demand for cotton. But
the people speculated and put their
money Into the pockets of the manip¬
ulators."

not satisfied as to the absolute truth
o fihe state’s witness. The governor
signed the recommendation.

18 OF A MOST VIRULENT TYPE
Scores of People Hava Already Suc¬
cumbed^ to the Deadly Diaeaae and
Many New Ca*a*_Are Reported and
Fort lo Suburb* Quarantined.
Manila, July 4.—Cholera of a viru¬
lent type has broken out among the
natives of Manila and surrounding
provinces. Four Americans In Manila
have been striken to date and there
has been one death of an American,
that of Charles Sheehan. Twenty-one
cases and sixteen deaths have been re¬
ported. The provinces report 26 cases
and 25 'deaths. The disease is one of
tb* most deadly types.
The suburbs near Fort McKinley
have been quarantined. There has
been one death from cholera among
the soldiers, that of a cookk of compa¬
ny C, sixteenth infantry. The health
bureau Is making every precaution to
prevent the spread of the disease.
A circular has been distributed
among oitlzens warning them of the
danger and requiring that precautions
be taken. While the situation is se¬
rious,'the health officials do not look
tor and epidemic of great proportions.
The greatest difficulty Is experienced
in getting natives to report cases of
sickness. To this cause is assigned
the vlrulency of the disease.
The last outbreak of cholera tn the
Philippines occurred In August, 1905,
when from August 23 to October 14,
713 cases and 553 deaths were report¬
ed. This outbreak was Insignificant
a* compared with that of 1902 when a
total of 130,630 cases were reported
and 82,955 deaths were known to have
occurred.
During the epidemic of 1902 the pop¬
ulation of many of these towns were
heavily reduced through deaths, and
the flight of panic-stricken people.
Many of the dead were left unburled
for days In spite of the energetic steps
taken by the government to combat
the spread of the disease and to care
for the sick and the dead.
