COTTON SEED HULLS TO
BE MADE INTO PAPER.
New Experiment Being Made by
Which to Increase Industrial
Interests in the South.
Mr. F. G. Weeks anil son, of
Indian Territory, owners of several
paper mil Is in the North, are ex
arniug some pulp made from the
hulls of cotton seed. This
looks as it it- would make good pa
per. They have decided to devote
some time in experimenting with
the pulp to see whether it is .prac¬
ticable to make paper out of cottou
seed hulls. If this can be done, it
will be a great benefit to the South
and give us a new industry.
The supply of spruce is rapidly
decreasing and it is only a question
of time when it will be necessary
to find a substitute for spruce for
wood pulp.
We hope these gentlemen will
find a method by which our hulls
can be utilized in the manufacture
of paper,
We will watch the experiment
with interest.

It is presumed that Mr. Mann,
was asleep when the llagman called
out the name of the station, and,
in a dazed condition, passed out
on the platform and stepped oil
to the ground thinking tho train
had come to a stop. Att<-r arri¬

backed to the scene of the acci

steep embankmeut, was picked up
by the crew and carried to the de- ;

remarkable that the victim escaped
