Cotton heed Meal.
The high price of corn meal has
led Dr. L. E. Starr, of Wilcox
county, to make a “series of expe<
riments in the use of cotton seed
meal for bread making purposes,
and he finds that three parts of
35ri> meal and one part of cotton
need meal makes a very good ar
ticle of bread. The Wilcox Pro*
gresslve Era thus describes the
new prooess:
“The doctor’s plan is to mix
about one peck of cotton seed
with three pecks of corn and
grind the mixture in the ordinary
grist mill. When run through
the sieve all the hulls, lint, ete.,
togther with the bran is caught,
and it is claimed that the cotton
aeed corn meal is just as pure and
healthy as corn meal or flour, and
that it has the advantage of al*
ready having enough grease in it
to cc k it. The bread is hardly
as f k as that made from the red
cot, jcob, and can scarcely be
toll from that of the ordinary
bret I.”
If palatable and nutritious bread
can be made from corn and cot
ton seed, both of which the South
produces, the latter abundantly
and the former in good quanti
ties, there should be no trouble
In producing a home supply oi
bread, leaving the meat supply
to be furnished in part from out
side sources. Dr. Starr is confi

by which a palatable, wholesome
and cheap bread can be produced,
and his experiments have been
patiently conducted, covering a
wide range oy articles and many
combinations of them. His stand

and his 'plan for filling the meal
barrel is probably the best that
has been presented.—Birmingham

Hindus Kill Off Superffous Girls.
A Oapuchin monk engaged in
missionary work in Nepaul, writ
ing of Hindu family life, remarks
that it is very difficult lor parents
to make advantageous matches lor
their daughters. The Hindus
therefore find a means of ridding
themselves of too many daughters
by murdering them. It is a well*
known fact that Hindus of high
rank, those who are called Raj
puts, caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by
men especially engaged to do so.
This criminal custom had become
so universal that in 1840 in the
73 villages of the Allahabad dis
trict ;there were only three girls
under 12 years of age, and three
years later in the town of Agra
there was not one to be fodnd un
der that age, all had been put to
death, says the JDondon Pall Mall
Gazette.

Orientals are past masters in the

There is no luck about adver

that which is placed with the

For Southern Recofnition.
The lOkolona Messenger thus
speak* of the rights of the South
in Democratic National Conven*
lions:
“There is more sense than sen*
timent in the demand of the hoar
froho the Sooth for recognition of
a Southern man in the next Na
tional Convention. The faci is
that without the South’s loyalty
to the old party there would not
be enough Democrats in the Uni
ted States to keep up a showing
in a National Convention, and yet
when convention day comes round
northern or western chap steps
forward with a demand for the
honor, on the plea that the naming
of a Southern gentleman would be
like throwing a red flag in a ball’s
face. Well, let it be thrown. The
days of sectional strife are past
and gone with sensible northern
men as well as with those of the
South, and if this section is for
all time to be placed at the tail
end of the Democratic kite and
none of its sons considered wor
thy of a nomination for the presi*
dency by t^e Democratic party,
the sooner that party is abandon*
ed, and the presumptions bosses
of it in the north left with their
handful of voters and never an
electoral tiicket that can be elect*
ed. the better. The South might
as well have no alliance with a
National,party as to be forever
dangling at the tsil end of the
kite.’’
We have one paper in mind
which is apparently published
solely as a medium for the public
denunciation of Gov. Longino
and other State officers. From
an occasional schorching censure
of the Chief Magistrate of Missis
sippi it has within the last twelve
months so far degenerated that
now it makes no pretense to be
ing a purveyor of news, either
national. State, or even local, but
its editorial page is one solid,
reeking mass of villification and
abuse of Gov, Longino, of his of
gcial conduct, with here and there
a base insinuation touching the
veiy private character of the man.

The above described paper is
published in one of the flourish

editor had the gaul to recently an

has been abusing for a year or

I Well, the Banner and the Ga*
zatte must have reference to J. K.
I Vardemah, of the Greenwood
Commonwealth, as he is the only
editor that is aspiring to guberna
torial honors. We see no reason
of any abuse of the present gov
ernor, but should Vardanian be
elected he will be all right—Fri
