There has been tested In the city ot Springfield. Mass., during the past season a machine for which a great deal te claimed by Its owners. It Is an oil extracting press of a new pattern, which, according to Its own- era. will, by reason of Its economy and efficiency, displace troni $*.000,000 to $10,000,000 worth of machinery In the 8onth and make for greater pros parity becauee It will dispense with nearly all the manual labor required by the present mills and will then solve the labor problem lor this par ticular Industry In the South. This Is the claim of the owners of the maehlne frankly and aweeplngly expressed It Is enough to quicken Interest of various degrees and kinds III thl lira section. The working ot the niaehlne has been observed with much Interest j!y Important corporations In this cointlt) and Ktini|H-. who have sent their itlB- cars or agents here to see- It In oper ation. It has Just been shipped to the Jamestown exposition, where ll will be exhibited next summer. The rntrhln- wss built by the Con fsetlonen' machinery and manufac turing Company for the Continuous ex- tracUng press corporation ot JS llrond- way. New York, J. J MrXally, of Nor folk, Va.. and J. C. Klddyinent, ot • Chicago, are the patentees. During most of Isst year extensive experi ments have been made with the live- ton machine and In the past tew week* the results lit the extraction of oil from rotton seed and other such - vegetable oil products hive been very aalletactory. The extrartlng press corporation was organised two years ago to own and control the indent* and business It Is composed of busi ness men from New York. Chlragn and Providence. K. I The company ha* several machines somewhat similar, but built for the extraction ut nsh oil. now In operation In some cities ot the South, and all more In process of con atntctlon. The machine built In 8prlngf!eld Is heavier than those now ' In use, and ran la- used for the ex- traction ot these various products. Heretofore oil extracting lias been done with hydraulic presses. The principle of the continuous extracting press Is a steel eeraw Increasing grad uelly In diameter toward the exit end This la Inclosed by a solid cylinder perforated with etralners through which the oil and liquids exude and which jot train the solid material* that are finally forced In a hardened mast through the exit end. The press dls- ponses entirely with the expensive earners hair press cloth now needed tor the hydraulic press syftem. The latter system la the only one now oh- copying the field and baa been In exit- > for the past 40 years. It It claim- i- *d that the machine extracts from Lthraa to five gallons more cotton sdgd to the ton of cleaned material an does the hydraulic press. Its ra- l» tS.toxa of ent$najMt^eAi IS TIMT TEMPERING THE ROCKEFELLER MILLIONS TO PHILANTHROPY* The rumor that John D. Rockefeller la to trill $$$0,000,000 of hla mon ey to the cause of education. Is not without the possibility of vindication. Mr. Rockefeller has not been for some year* actively engaged In n bus iness life and most of this period has been given up by him to recreation and reflection. It I* simply Impossible to conceive that a great mind like Rockefeller's, resting In repose, and forced upon Itself In meditation upon the meaning and significance of life In the great line* which he has follow ed. should fall to react against th^ emptiness aad folly of a mere Individual accumulation. Several yeara ago the editor of The Georgian was at dinner with Mr. Rockefeller, and among the party were Governor and Mr*. Herrick, of Ohio, Just after the nomination of Mr. Herrick tor the chief executive office of the state. Someone at the table congratulated Mr*. Herriek upon the honor paid her husband and she responded In protest that she was heart broken over the feet and felt that her husband who had worked hard and accumulated a competency (some $10,000,040). ought now to rest and enjoy what he had won. ., Instantly Mr. Rockefeller, whose whole discourse had been given to the delights of bicycle riding and golf playing, turned with a serious face and a deep light In hie eyes and remarked: "No, no. no. Any man who baa reached a certain stage of effort and has any stuff In him of the right sort, can do nothing 1*0* than to go on, to press forward.” Wo hare thought many times since then that thla waa the genius of Rockefeller's life. The spirit of accumulation of money and of achievement, the tmpulio to go constantly further than he had gone or anybody else had gone. It must have been the spirit of hie life, for the mere eordldness of avarlco mutt htve been satiated In the sheer mass of thla man’a accumu lation. If ho had given thought In counsel with bla friends for a solid week he could not bavo devised way* and means of personal and Uriah ex penditure upon hlmaelf and upon hla family that would have approximate ly exhausted hie fortune In a thousand ysara. And so It must have been the "preee forward,” the “go on" from one thing to another, from one peak of achievement to another, from one ab- aorptldn to another absorption, from one pile of million* to another pile of millions. nut at last thla old man, warned by hla age and the beckoning of the shadows, stands still for a year or two to think, and aa he thinks with a mind which all men must regard aa powerful and cltar, there comes to him the emptiness of accumulation a nd the absence ot pockets In a shroud. An-I ao he ‘‘goes forward" lo the conclusion that the vast accumulation which ho has made must now be given back. If not to tha original ele ments. at least to those elements ot construction and development which may make other men to conquer, to achieve and to rule tha world. And there is largo compensation to the world In gifts like these. Leaving nut the moral question and the element of righteousness, and the current question of "Ulnt." It Is at last the making of tome compensa tion tluit what has been Uken by arbitrary eaaetlona from one age I* to be given track to another. What was wrung from the pocket* of the peopie of the four decades of Rockefeller's militant life Is about to be given back In part to the people who are to live In the remaining decades of the life of hla only eon. The question arise* whether this money If It had not been accumulated by Rockefeller would have been ae wisely and beneficently spent ae he proposes to spend It. Would these $$$0,090,000 which Standard Oil monop olist! have gathered Into the Rockefeller chetets have been spent for schools, colleges, churches and charitable Institutions? It la scarcely like ly that they would. Part of the sum might have been ao diverted, but not all of It—certainly not all. And therefore the rompeniatlon would seem to hang Its weight and balance somehow largely upon the icale of our later day, and humanity at last In the long processes of the years would become the beneflclary of at least the material gain* of the mightiest millionaire In the history of the world, r If this nran has been made the agent of providence and of the great furrea of development to accumulate the colossal treasury fund which la to supply- the needs of education In several mighty generations of men, then at least we ran recognise the beneficence of the divine motive oven If selfishness and ambition might hava been the moving eptrit of the human endeavor. lint at least we think If this man In the better light and the larger vision* of the seer at sunset withes to make reparation for accumulations Hun have not Im-i-ii altogether right, that the world can accept It as a mov ing of providence ii|ion the spirit of wealth. And In this view lei us thank God and "press on" and "go forward" ourselves lo the work which our hands find to do In the upbuilding of our children. In the uplifting of the state, and In the betterment of our fellow- BROUGHTON DAY IN ATLANTA. The Rev. Ia-ii. G. Hruughton, D. D„ has not always been under the Scriptural condemnation "Woo unto you when all apeak well of you.” ll has lieen "a cold day In August” when everybody In thle com munity has spoken well ot Dr. Broughton. No penonallty lo forceful, no convict Inn* so militant nnd aggreaelve ae hla ever fall to excite friction umong elements the o|i|a>sltc In eentlment and In practice to hie own. lint Dr. Broughton came nearer to the danger point of universal ac- claim on Sunday than he ever did In hla life. Ailnuia was simply captured by the masterful audacity and the con structive genius of the great preacher who In the face of a civic compe tition In auditoriums thst would have floundered and floored moat men, was simply Inspired In himself and In the people of the Baptist Taber nacle lo grenter endeavor and to a larger achievement. It Is practically certain that no enterprise In the Industrial or spirit ual life or Atlanta has been more brilliant In conception and more mas terful In execution than that which culminated In the aerie* of meetings or Sunday In the Grand opera house and In the Tabernacle rhurrh. Never before In Atlanta has such a scene been wit nessed as the great morning congregation In the Tabernacle which walled and listened from it o'clock to : o'clock to the Tabernacle leader and his friends, nnd which after giving $68,000, were atlll lingering at the hour of 2 o'clock to give other thousands to the enterprise on which the pastor had set his brain and hla altruistic purpose. When one remember* that the vast bulk of this magnificent contri bution came from a congregation that I* not made up of the rich and fashionable tropic of the rlly, but la founded more largely among the quieter people or Atlanta, we begin to catch a glimpse of the heroism, the faith and Ihc devotion that Is behind the Tabernacle and Its work. The supcih meeting at the Grand opera house In the evening was designed s* a tribute lo n great and honored minister ot the gonpel who, hating fought his good fight and won hi* great battle, It loosln^now hit brave nnd loyal grasp upon worldly affair* and settling softly Into the hon orable and glurloua shadows ot a serene and -blessed evening. And the exercises were Indeed t noble and Inspiring tribute to Dr. James R. Haw thorne. the "old nran eloquent" and the great man, always, of the llaptlst church In the South. Hut no occasion and no exercise could shadow the ’fame and the mighty work of llroughton. and even there the evening exercises were made another ovation to the man and hla people who are doing ao much along llie high lines at Christian endeavor In this godly land. Yesterday hi Alla|ita was Indeed "the day of llroughton and hla Tab ernacle." and no man ever better deaervrd the tribute of a great people, (or Dr. Mroughlon la a man who does things and he does right thlngi. He does them strongly, he does them bravely, and who Is there 10 deny that tbla community Is heller and stronger fur bis life and living?

With the prospect of-two great auditoriums soon to be brought to oomplotlon within Its limits, Atlanta should now be casting the fine eye ot expectation toward some of the greater contention* which are held annually In these United States. With the equipment of her future certain there I* nothing too good for Atlanta along these lines.

The til'll st present risk their live* dally by being able to pay a thrfe-cent fare, one of the drawbacks and penal ties that go with wealth.

To the Editor ot The Georgian: Regarding Miss Sanderson's conduct as pollcs matron, t have this to say: As Christian worker, especially among fallen women, outcast* from society and In w hom very few people are Inter ested when they desire lo leave lives of prostitution. 1 have found Miss San derson as matron always ready to help them to homes where they sre put under Christian Influences and given opportunities to start life anew. In her position she necessarily comes Ith this class used In have a son nf Daniel XVchsIcr down here In Atlanta," said n well-known business man of that city "He was threa-fnurths Y'ankeo nnd one-fourth African, but his facial re pay the semblance to the familiar pictures of Webster was striking. He had the same broad forehead nnd widely sep arated eyes, the same nose and chin, ami there waa not the sllghiest doubt of hla parentnge; Indeed. It whs recog- ulsed by Captain Fletcher atVebster, who come to Atlanta with Sherman's army nnd found hla half-brother here, Ho took a great deal of Interest In him and gave him a picture of Ihelf father, which hung In Yancey's barber shop as long os Yancey- lived. "He was a light mulatto; he was born at Gadsby-'n Hotel, on Pennsylvania avenue nnd Third street. In Washing ton City, August 20, 1*50, nnd w,n christened Robert Webster. His moth er was a mulatto woman named Char- loll* (lonbrlck. a waitress In the hotel, and after Koheri's birth was taken tii Mussnclmsetls by Mr. Webster. The woman had been a slave of the Gadnbv family, who owned the hotel. Mr Webster purennsed her freedom anil the died many years afterward in his house at Marshfield while he wss still In the senate.

I MRS. H. BRIGGS. I of Boh Webster, w hich was his legal To the Editor of The Georgian Your forceful, timely editorial on the above subject should elicit a great deal of earnest thought aad honest ef fort against this grewaome, appallingly Increasing malady. Tha drawback In combating human troubles of every kind la, w* dtsepunt th* removal of "cause" by making a dlaoroport lunate effort on effect. A progressive form nf "general d* blllty" Is the Insidious daveloptr of consumption. Marrying too young, doubtless, stands at the head In the direful work of physical degeneracy. We are not constitutionally grown until 28 or 80 years of age—the ossi fication of the bon* Is not complete until we are 88. It's folly to presume that Immature constilutlons can do justice to forma tive constitutions; In this struggling, weakening division, both th* parentage and offspring lose and consumption gains. Our minimum. Inviolate marriage age should be "28" for women and men. "la the writer a married man?” We answer “Yes." "How old were you when you mar ried ?" “We larked 3 1-2 months of 27, but, with our present knowledge of physical laws, could w* travel life’s road over again,' we would defer entering the wedded realm three to tlv* years later. Second cause: We believe eating too much meat, especially the gross. Scripture-condemned hog meat and hog lard, which should be expunged altogether, ie responsible to a consid erable degree for the disease we know os consumption. Why can't we get the "hog out of the spring," Instead of suffering th* bad results of tainted water, and work to remove the foulness 14 miles below? We discarded hog meat and hog lard In our household IS years ago, sub stituting "cottolene,” and have been proud of the change all the way. Third cause: The wearing of com pressed garments by our femltfine pop ulation-well! It needs no argument to convince any aane mind that any mode of dress that restricts the free action of lungs, liver, heart, stomach and bowels Invites consumption;' and If not the adult women directly, children, wlm have the physical, mental and spiritual right to be "well born" are going to reap the tares that their fashion-blinded mother* have sown while consumption entraps easier and easier and easier victims. Listen! "Any- mode of apparel that restricts respiration or circulation tends to defeat longevity." Who can deny the force of the above quotation, which Is frqm the nen of the dearest medical writer we have ever perused. No woman's xvardrob* should Include any garment that does not allow much physical freedom as the average man's vest. Let every woman remember that duty" to herself and the race higher word than any designer doubtful fashions has ever spoken or written. Wellington said at Waterloo: ‘England expects every man to do hi* duty." So with each conflict between error and truth If we will, honestly listen "the still, small voice" will ad monish us that the Lord God Almighty demand* of every man nnd every wo man "fidelity to duty." Again: Every woman ahoutd re member that she Is physically and morally rerponslble for the dlaease germs gathered up hy dragging sklrta and conveyed Into her own homes and elsewhere to begin their mischief. May God pity nnd arouse nnd then up lift Into the pure atmosphere nf self- •eapect our fashion-blind feminine population. They are grent friends of the terrible "white plague." The dead Inertia of a large propor tion of the lungs caused by Inactive. Indoor life on the part of a large per ent of our daughters, wives and nioth- Ituluces, harbors and develop* consumption.

"Prove all things and hold fast to that which la good" la for u» all the true doctrine of the hour. Individually and collectively. We hope the hint* that we have given on the causes of consumption will make, at least, some Impression and result In some good.
