COTTON OIL TRUST. The cotton seed oil trust has be come an incorpoation, and its capital stock has been increased to $20,000,000. A charter was ob¬ tained from the legislature of New Jersey last winter, and the legal requirements necessary to put the corporation into working order have just been complied with. The cotton seed oil com¬ bination is therefore a New Jersey eorp ration, and the impression is that its purpose is to carry on a much larger business than ever before. The trust certificates have been in demand in New York for sev¬ eral days, but they have not been easy to obtain. It is asserted that they are in strong hands, and will remain there unless a much higher price than rules in the market at present is offered for them. They are to be exchanged, it is understood, for certificates in the New Jersey corporation, share for share. The alliances have done noth¬ ing toward securing a better price for cotton seed. They are busy now trying to defeat the jute bag¬ ging combination. When they get through with that job they may give some attention to the cotton seed oil trust. They have been complaining for several years that they do not get a fair price for cotton seed. It is prob¬ able that in cases in which it has to he transported long distances it would pay them better to use it as a fertilizer. A great many far¬ mers pursue that course, and it is probable that they are wise in doing so. Too many of the far¬ mers do not feed their land enough. They take too much off it and put too little on. There is no doubt that the cot¬ ton oil mills make money, and be¬ ing in a combination, they can dictate prices for cotton seed, and also for cotton * seed products. The demand for cotton seed pi - o ducts is steadily increasing, and it would seem as if the price of cotton seed, under these circum¬ stances, would improve. The cot¬ ton seed oil corporation, however, will give no more for cotton seed than it has to. According to the statement of Mr. E. C. Rogers, president of the American Paper Manufac¬ turer’s Association, $100,000,000 worth of paper is produced annu¬ ally in the United States. There are now thirteen cotton seed oil mills in Texas, with a capacity for crushing 1,400 tons per day. The mills are kept busy, and it is said the supply of seed is beyond their capacity to crush, and many of them are re¬ fusing to take more seed.

Miss Winnie Davis, dafrighter.of Jefferson Davis, left New Orleans Monday for New York, whence she takes a steamer for Europe as the guest of Mrs. Pulitzer. Miss Winnie has been in bad liealtlpof late, and the journey, it is hoped, will restore her. The electric machine which is to be used in Sing prison for the execution of murderers has been shipped to Baltimore to he tested before it is placed in position in the prison. The prison officials will not have anything to do with placing the machine in position, the warden being the only official who has anything to do with op¬ erating it. He will simply touch an electric button, which will send the current of electricity through the chair in which the condemned man will sit. It looks now as though the present session of the legislature will be perpetual. A resolution was adopted to adjourn on the 7th of November, provided the lease act shall have been passed by that time. Under such cir cumstances it may safely be as - i sumod that the eminent body of, statesmen will not adjourn ou the i 7th. fWinvfH ie farmers - m I\ alton, county have determined, if they give any more notes, to make them fall due on Dec. 25th of each year instead nf Onf ir ( i „ 8 heretofore iet ° fore ’ A citizen of Eatonton smokes about twelve pounds of tobacco yearly in a pipe that he declares is over 200 years old. This leads a mathematical person to calcu¬ late that if that were the average amount used in the pipe since its first day,2,400 pounds of the w T eed have been burned in its bowl, and if the first $12 had been put out at compound interest at the rate of 10 per cent, it would now have grown to the sum of $1,755,443,- 200. Just how this would have benefited the first owner of the pipe does not appear. CJLARKE’SEXTRAOT OF FLAX. Cough.

Entering life he de¬ sires to grasp everything; leaving the world, all that he possessed has slipped away. A little fellow whose fifth britli day is at hand, heard the ques¬ tion asked of a new comer: “How old is that infant?” His reply was: “She ain’t old at all; she is just begun.” After he had seen the infant, he said to his mother: •‘Mamma, that baby had her hair cut in heaven; I suppose they thought she would not bo strong enough to walk to the barber’s.” BONE SCRATCHING. Herbert Sperry, Tremont. Ill., had Erysipelas house in both legs. Confined to the six weeks. He says: “When I was able to get on my that legs, I had an itching sensation nearly run rae crazy. I scratched them raw to the bones. Tried everything without relief. I was tormented in this way for two years. I then found Clarke’s Extract of Flax (Papillon) Skin Cure at the Drug Store, used it, and it has cured me sound and well.” Clarke’s Flax Soap has no equal for Bath and Toilet. Skin Cure $1.00.

A farm of nearly 1000 acres was purchased filty miles out, and the harmless insane have been put at light farm work. The idea origi¬ nated with the country board of charities and correction, who thought it would relieve the over¬ crowded condition of the asylums and furnished the unfortunates with a beneficial employment which might assist in their cure. At present 311 insane patients are at work. At the outset many of them objected to following ag¬ riculture as a business; urged that they knew nothing about farm work, and asked to be put at other trades, but by judicious manage¬ ment they were won over to it, and they now take a strong in¬ terest in their work. That health¬ ful outdoor labor is more bene¬ ficial to tractable insane patients than the usual confinement of an asylum is hardly to bo doubted, and the New York experiment may prove to be a valuable meth¬ od of ameliorating their condi¬ tion.

The next prize drill in wilieh the Southern Cadets of Macon may take part will be at the Sub Tropical exposition at Jack¬ sonville in April. It is said that the exposition management pro¬ pose making this the largest drill ever held in the south. TJie pres ent expectations is to make the first prize $2000.

RINGING NOISES In the ears, sometimes caused a roaring by buzzing sound are ca¬ tarrh, that exceedingly disagreea¬ ble and very common disease. Loss of smell or hearing also re¬ sult from catarrh. Hood’s Sar¬ saparilla, the great blood purifier, is a peculiarly successful remedy for this disease, which it cures by purifying the blood. If you suf¬ fer from catarrh, try Hood’s Sar¬ saparilla, the peculiar medicine. “Mr. Jefferson Davis is now a very harmless old man,” says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Then why don’t you let him alone? It is said that the Japanese peo¬ ple never kiss. Come to think of it, when they look at each other they ought not to want to kiss. Mr. Samuel J. Randall says that the democratic minority of the House should not surrender one iota of the parliamentary pow¬ er to restrain the majority, enjoy¬ ed to the fullest extent for the last six years by the republican minority, and until now thought perfectly proper by the republi¬ cans. Mr. Randall is right. THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS. W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, drug¬ gist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in Bitters.” my 20years’experience Thousand of is Electric others have added their testimony so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.

Several thousand people are homeless and suffering for the necessaries of life. The Sibly cotton mills at Au¬ gusta, has just declared a semi¬ annual dividend of 34 per cent. Col. Joseph H. Nisbet, the editor of the Milledgeville Union Recorder, has held that position for forty-eight years. He was one of three that bought the pa¬ per from Herschel Y. Johnson in 1852. He was born in Athens more than three-score years ago, and moved to Milledgeville at tha age of 9 years. Many young children become positively repulsive with sore eyes, sore ears, and scald head. Sucli afflictions may be speedily removed by the use of Ayre's Sar saparilla. Young and old alike experience the wonderful benefits of this medicine. Since the electric lights were turned off in New York the sand bag has become a favorite weapon with the thieves and roughs of that city. Hardly a night passes but some unsuspecting person is felled with a sand-bag, and Sow Yorkers are getting very anxious to have light thrown upon the perpetrators of these deeds. _ __ A WOMAN’S DISCOVERY. “Another made wonderful and that discovery by has been too fas- a lady in this county.

It is said that a custom prevails these days among unscrupulous millers by ■which flour and meal are sacked short-weight with the effect of swindling ignorant or unsuspecting people. A sack supposed to contain a bushel of meal will be two or four pounds short. How far this practice pre¬ vails we do not know, but it is re¬ ported that it is wide-spread. Georgia miller excuse their con¬ duct by saying they have to meet short-weight competition from adjoining states. A bill is now pending in the House of Repre¬ sentatives which seeks to correct this evil and to force millers and dealers to correctly represent the contents of sacks of flour and meal.
