A MEETING OP THE COTTON SEED
CHUSHEIiS IN CONVENTION AT
HOUSTON.
IMS
Discussion* and Papers Looking
Economical Methods und Im-
proved Results.
Houston, Tex., May 5.-Thls forenoon the
fourth annual convention of the oil mills
superintendents was called to order at the
Hutchlns house for the purpose of dispos-
ing of routine business, to include much
matter of importance to the industry.
The meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent George a Welsh and was opened with
prayer by Mr. R. G. Latting.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and adopted.
The annual address of President Welsh
was read. Among other things he said:
"As an evidence of a growing interest, we
have already had applications from some
of the superintendents of states east of the
Mississippi to extend the association, com-
bining as many as two states in one or-
ganization, and we trust this will be ac-
complished before another year shall pass
around. 1 call this matter to the special at-
tention of tills meeting and hope changes
will be made in the constitution with this
end in view.
"It might be well for me to mention some
of the objects this association has in view:
Our uniting and meeting annually are sim-
ply for mutual benefit. We are all aware
that our industry is still in a rude state,
and we must all admit that there are
branches of the business, such a s coo King
meats and other subjects, to be discussed
at this meeting, which we are not familiar
with as we should be, and we are still in
the dark' concerning them, and the oil mill
superintendent who says he knows all he
wislies to know about the business estab-
lishes himself as an ass. Do you know, my
friends, that oil mill men as a class are the
most conceited people on the face or tne
earth? And why should we be? What ('°
we know in the way of secret manipulations
of cotton seed that would warrant our say-
ing and feeling that we are in possession of
information that other successful superin-
tendents do not have? It is a gratifying
fact that we have quite a number of com-
petent superintendents in charge of mills
in this state who are producing satisfactory
and economical results, and it is a distress-
ing fact that an equal number of the same
kind are kept out of mills by the 'jackleg.
Out of ninety odd mills in the state, 50 per
cent of them have superintendents who are
not mechanics and who know very little
more about the business than the ordinary
laborers in a mill. Very few of them are
able to tell what it costs to work a ton of
seed, cost of fuel or press cloth per ton, or
number of tons of seed worked per day,
and we take the position that every super-
intendent should know what he is doing
each day the mill is in operation. The main
object of this association is to better quali-
fy us for the position of superintendent, as
It must be admitted that the successful,
economical operation of an oil mill depends
to a large extent upon the qualifications of
the superintendent, and we wish to demon-
strate that a majority of the unsuccessful
mills can trace their losses to incompetent
superintendents and poor machinery.
"I do not think there is any industry
which suffers more from a diversity of
opinion as to the proper manipulation of
raw material than that which we represent
and the same state of affairs exists as to
the best and most economical machinery, /
and while we may not agree on these mat-
ters, still the verdict of the majority should
settle any differnces of opinion and wo
should make every effort to adopt such
methods and machinery as actual experi-
ence has demonstrated to be the best. I
have endeavored to ascertain from a me-
chanical standpoint the actual condition of
the mills in this state, and it is a matter
of astonishment to me to see the condition
the machinery is kept in, and the interior
and exterior of the mill buildings so fear-
fully unclean. I know that our business
is liot a very cleanly one, but there is no
excuse for keeping a filthy mill or ma-
chinery in such bad repair the sound of
which would frighten a deaf man and the
filth around the mill sufficient to turn the
stomach of a vulture.
"1 also hope some definite plan will be
adopted at this meeting by which our
members will be required to file each year
with tKe secretary a report of his work,
such as yield of oil, cost of presscloth per
ton. cost of working seed per ton, etc., the
object of which would not be to expose the
affairs of any mill, but to place the asso-
ciation in a position to furnish suitable su-
perintendents, when they are applied to,
and to stimulate those under the average to
greater efforts, and to enable the mills to
see what class of machinery is producing
the most profitable results. 1 have been
thinking of a plan by which all of us could
improve our minds and become more profi-
cient in our duties. It Is possible for us to
make arrangements by which we can gain
information at a nominal cost through a
'correspondence school,' conducted in the
usual way, and secure a technical knowl-
edge of our business, and when combined
with our practical experience we shall bo
better fitted for the positions we hold. I
hope you will discuss this matter thorough-
ly end express yourselves freely. I think
we should adopt some periodical as the of-
ficial organ of this association.
"One of the prime causes of low priced
products to-day is because we do not main-
tain a strict grade of products, consequent-
ly the mills producing the higher grade of
products must suffer because there are so
many mills which never reach the standard
in prime products."
The chairman appointed the following
committees:
Constitution and by-laws: Geo. R. Park-
house of Taylor, G. A. Baumgarten, H. R.
Schoemaker, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Bowen.
Resolutions: Geo. R. Parkhouse and A.
A. Vardell.
These applications for membership were
mac'.e: D. M. Croswerth of Kyle and H. J.
J. Thelssou of Sherman.
The report of Mr. Vardell. chairman of
a special committee, was made. He report-
ed that he had attended a meeting of the
crushers at Galveston last August and in
a talk to them made such explanations to
them as removed, he b^ieved, any friction
or antagonism that they might have enter-
tained toward this organization on errone-
ous grounds, and he explained the matter,
Through correspondence by Secretary
Vardell the following visitors from abroad
were present: Louis K. Bell of the Oil, Paint
and Drug Reporter of New York. G. C.
Bunuss of the Tradesman of Atlanta,
John Brannan of the National Provisioner,
New York: G. E. Allen of the Piatt, Whit-
ney company, Hartford, Conn.: James P.
Winchell of the Foos manufacturing com-
pany, Springfield, O.
An interesting and instructive address
was delivered by Mr. Louis K. Bell, an ex-
perienced man of several years in the busi-
ness, and it* commanded the closest atten-
tion.
His subject was "The Handling and Care
• of Oil Mill Products and Their Commercial
Value."
This was followed by a desultory discus-
sion of weights and shortages, which was
indulged in by some of the leading work-
ers present. The object contemplated the
correction of this trouble, as mueh us pos-
sible. It applied to variation in the weights
of cake.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
H was about 3 o'clock when the associa-
tion was called to order by President
Welsh. The attendance had increased by a
few members and was the largest they had
ever had. President Welsh called the 'meet-
ing to order and business was opened by
taking up for general discussion the subject
of the value of hulls for fuel as compared
with wood, coal and lignite.
P. G. Dismukes of the Austin mills said
his mills used lignite at' a cost of 2l> cents
a ton and the hull of the cotton seed was
of more value than that, to be otherwise
used.
Mr. Boring found that lignite cost 50
cents a ton.
Mr. Parkhouse told of the results his
mills had received from the use of lignite.
President Welsh said lignite, did not throw
off heat as coal does and the grate bars
should be as near as practicable.
Under the head of "Heaters and Cooking"
came the best material for construction,
design preferred for stirrers and speed.
Secretary Vardell thought the question of
what a heater was made was a live ques-
tion.
Mr. McSweeney said he used a rock heat-
er, but his objection was that he couldn t j
day, showing greater areas under water,
lit' thought the thinner the iron that wo'ild
stand the strain, the better the result. I hoy
had put in iron heaters and they bursted.
except one, which cracked and then stopped
right there. They patched it and it was
to-day running. It was a very quick heater.
One cast iron heater he got poor results,
but that was aeeounted for by having steam
only on half of it.
Mr. R. G. Latting explained his experience
in the I'lnola and Memphis companies. He
observed that one cooked quicker, but had
a darker oil, while the other was slower,
but a lighter oil.
Secretary Vardell said he was recently
where there were eight presses, half cast
iron and half wrought iron. He examined
into that matter, and one superintendent
told him that they had tested it. The oil
from the wrought iron and that in the cast
iron heaters was stored and that in the
ast Iron heater the temperature was high-
er—had to be—than the other. There was a
difference in pressure of fifteen or twenty
pounds. He had some experience with a
wrought iron heater, and when he had
prime seed he always got prime oil. He
told of two mills; one mill made prime crude
oil and the other didn't make any; thought
the seed was the same, both mills belong-
ing to the same company. They always got
different oils, but couldn't tell why. The
old mill always gave the best oil, and he
asked If any one could explain it.
H. J. J. Thlessen told of the difference
between cast iron and wrought iron. He
couldn't see any difference in qualities of
oil, but as to heat he would out in a
wrought iron heater in preference to a cast
iron heater. The cast iron had to be brought
to a greater heat.
George T. Parkhouse said as fine oil could
be made with a wrought iron heater as on
a cast iron heater. It was merely a matter
of temperature. Others agreed with him,
as the least steam was necessary in the
wrought iron heater.
Mr. Schoemacher had an objection to
wrought iron heaters, because they always
leaked. A wrought iron heater, though, will
take heat quicker.
This subject and branches of it were dis-
cussed at length, the different members
giving their experience at their mills.
After this desultory discussion was
gone through, Mr. E. M. Taliaferro of
Galveston made a very entertaining and in-
structive talk on "Storage, Care and Classi-
fication of Oils." His ideas were received
with occasional applause, and at the close
of his remarks, on account of the lateness
of the hour, he was asked to resume in the
forenoon session to-morrow.
Mr. J. C. Bannon of New York arrived
this evening, and will read a paper to-mor-
row.
The following were present to-day: It. M,

ton; A. A. Ryan, Fort Worth; H. J. J,

•Jefferson County Farming.
Beaumont, Tex., May 5.—Mr. A. R. Mc-
Lain is one of Jefferson county's pioneer
farmers, and his farm furnishes the best
proof of the productiveness of this soil. He
was in the city yesterday from his home,
which Is some six or eight miles west of
the city. One of the most frequent ques-
tions heard from the northern prospectors
who are pouring into this county is, "Why
don't you have more farming here?" They
see the vast expanse of prairie with houses
only every three or four miles, and the
broad expanse of untouched woodland. Mr.
McLain, being an old-timer and well versed
in the ways of the farmer, was asked that
question by The News correspondent.
"Well, I'll tell you. In the first place, we
don't raise cotton because there is no gin
here, nor within fifty miles of here, and
nowadays cotton without gins is not much
Another reason is that we are in-
clined to be too lazy. Our farmers don't
like to work a crop that it takes all the
year 'round to look after, and that Is what
cotton does. The reason they are lazy is
due to two causes. First, they have had
the sawmills here, where the wages are a
regular gold mine compaied to the north
SHOOTING AT BEAUMONT.

Beaumont, Tex., May 5.—About 11.30 to-
night Deputy Marshal Brown, who stays
on at night, shot and perhaps fatally in-
jured a man named Cotteral, who has
papers showing that he is a United States
officer from Austin. At midnight Cotteral
is being operated upon by Dr. J. S. Price
at his office in the Caswell drug store.
Sheriff Tlios. II. Langham now has Brown
in custody. The facts can not be accurately
learned as to the cause, but there were two
shots fired, which followed after a few
words had passed between them. One bul-
let passed through Cotteral's body, just
above the thigh.

and east, and they would rather work by
the. day and make good money. This was
the reason why agricultural pursuits were
not developed when north and central
Texas were settling, and once behind al-
ways behind. The second reason is that
the climate affects the energies to a cer-
tain extent of those living here. Not long
ago Mr. William Day came down and
brought his family from the north. When
he came down lie said he would show the
people how to make a bale of cotton to
the acre and forty bushels of corn. Now.
it is easy enough to accomplish this, and
can do it on my farm year in and year
out. but it takes.work all the year round,
and a living Is too easily earned in this
blessed country for that. Well, Mr. Day
related his experience to me two months
later, lie said that when he iirst cunie
south, If he wanted his boys to do any
tiling, no matter what time at night, lie
only said, "Robert," and Robert was up
like a Hash, but two months later, even
at 1! o'clock In the morning, if lie called
Robert the answer was a grunt. The
second answer was likewise a grunt, and
FH> on until finally he had to be pulled out
of bed. All this Mr. Day attributed to
the climate. But, pshaw! Life is worth
living here without working. The time will
come when farmers will flock in by the
hundreds, and they will raise their forty
bushels of corn and their bale of cotton
to every acre they plant in good old Jef-
ferson county dirt."
Sulphur llelinlng Plant.
Beaumont, Tex,, May 5.—On April 27, 1897,
the patent office issued letters patent to
Patillo Higgins and George W. Carroll on
a certain device for mining sulphur. The
invention consists of meana for liquefying
sulphur In Its mineral-bearing bed or
strata, and lifting same to the surface in
a liquid state. Mr. Higgins said that a
medium-sized plant could be put in 'at a
cost of $50.1)00. including buildings and oil
complete, and will turn out 500 tons of
sulphur per day. Ten men will be ample
labor to operate the entire plant, only re-
miring one skilled man to look after the
machinery, and $100 per day will pay the
entire cost of operating the plant. Mr.
Higgins was asked where lie would find the
sulphur to mine, und he said that he knew
of a number of places where large sulphur
beds are to be found. Sulphur Is found In
Europe and in the United States. He said
that he knew where there was a large sul-
phur bed iu the United States, tin- strata
being one and one-half miles square and
over 100 feet thick. Tills sulphur bed Is
located .where the sulphur can be mined
and shipped direct from the plant, either
by water or rail. Mr. Higgins said that
one of their sulphur plants would be erect-
ed at this place In the near future, and
they would supply sulphur to all the world.
He said that it was their intention to put
the price of sulphur down so low that t
could be used lor many purposes where it
Is not used now on account of the expense.

Acquired by the Santa Fe.
Con roe, Tex., May 4.—The legislature hav-
ing passed a special act allowing the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railroad company to
purchase the Texas, Louisiana and Eastern
railroad, running east from Con-roe to a
point in Liberty county, twenty-seven miles
of the track was acquired and the Santa
Fe took charge of the same on May 1. The
following officers came up on the Interna.-

ton this morning.
Governor Leedy's Maximum Kate Bill.
"The effort of Governor Leedy to excite
the people into demanding an extra session
of the legislature for the purpose of passing
a maximum rate bill is of a piece with the
policy of anti-corporatlons^ugitation which
has been the stock in trademoopulist poli-
ticians from the beginning-smnply a bald
attempt to manufacture, for strictly per-
sonal and political purposes, a sentiment
which does not exist." says ex-Senator C.
F. Scott In the lola (Kan.) Register. "The
people have failed to respond because they
see through the gauzy and contemptible
artifice. The one session of a populist legis-
lature already held has inflicted more dam-
age upon the farmer and stock raiser than
he has ever been aware of having suffered
from the railroads., and he will not volun-
tarily issue a call for another. That there
may be inequalities and inequities in freight
schedules at some places in the state may

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—plea.saut efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort iu
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to auv actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system. which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilituting the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If iu the enjoyment of good health,
and the system 'is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skultul
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Svrup of
Filfs stands highest and is most largely
used and ifivuis most general satisfaction.
