THE OIL MIL Hon. Harvie Jordan, J ou: The.e is do other single industry in the South which is developing more rapidly than that of the oil milling business. From an infant industry of 30 years ago, it has grown until now hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in cotton seed oil mill plants all over the South Atlantic and Grulf States. The rapid development of this business is largely due to the fact that it is a paying industry to those who have invested their millions in it. .From a few small plants which were erected in theTO's and operated ' as independent concerns the business , has grown until now we have the cot- j ton seed oil trust with its millions of capital controlling and operating large | numbers of mills under the manage- j ment just the same as the steel trust, meat trust and similar trusts of like character. While the oil trusts have been buying up large numbers of small mills during the last few years, the small local independent mills contin ue to be built and the promoters of all these small or large industries contin ue to make money. The business is a ! fascinating one because the dividends i are usually satisfactory and the inves- . tors are contented and happy. Dur- ! ing the .past seasons, the oil mills net- , ted possibly the largest dividends ever j before realized in the business. The reason for this was based upon the fact that the margin of difference be- | tween the purchase price of the raw seed and the Bale of the manufactured j products was sufficiently wide to real ize to the manufacturers an unusually large profit, running on an average ! from &6 to -$10 net profit per ton. The ! price of seed waslow and the price of oil, meal and hulls high. The cost of j manufacture remaining the same as in j past years. As promised to our correspondent from Camak in the Inquiry Depart ment of the last issue, we will now undertake to-cover this question fully, ' that the farmers who have seed to sell ! may be fully posted on the situation and know the true value of their seed j and how to meet the prices of the oil j mill people who oome into the market for their seed. If a farmor knows | nothing of these things, it is impossi ble for him to arrive at any proper con clusion regarding the value of his seed to the mill and to himself. BY-PBODUCTS OF COTTON SEED. The price of cotton seed set by the mills is largely based upon the market price and demand for oil. In order to determine the value of a ton of cotton seed to an oil mill therefore we must know what the by-products of a ton of seed are and the total value of the ; same. Deducting from that the price paid for the ton of seed and the cost ! of manufacture we can easily arrive at | the profit or loss to the mill in work ing a ton of seed. The by-produots of a ton of cotton seeds arc as follows: 40 gallons of oil, 700 pounds of meal and 1,000 pounds of hulls, linters, eto. In The Atlanta Journal of August 2d we find the local market for these by-products, f. o.b. cars at the mill, advertised as follows : Oil 35 cents per gallon, meal $24 per ton and hulls, loose, $6 per ton. Applying these prices to the different yields of a ton of aeed we have the following: 40 gallons oil at 35o.$14.00 725 pounds meal at $1.20. 8.70 1,000 pounds hulls at 30c. 3.00 Total value.$25.70 The price offered for seed is $14 per ton or 21 cents per bushel. This would leave a margin, of difference of $11.70 per ton between the cost of the seed and the selling price of the manu factured*] irnd urts. Out of this difference of $11.70 the mills must pay the freight on the seed from shipping point to mill and the cost of manufacture, and whatever bal ance is left will go to the net profit of j the mill on the business. The aver- 1 age rate of freight ou a ton of seed from shipping point to mill is estima- 1 ted at $1.50, and the average cost of manufacture is $4 per ton. Of course where seed are delivered to the mill from wagons the freight is saved. We have here the total cost of manufac ture including freight, amounts to $5.50 per ton. These are outside fig ures, some mills working the seed for less than $4 per too. Now deduct the $5.50 cost of freight Then the baby Is most like 3 ly nervous, and fretful, and g I doesn't gain in weight. S Scott's Emulsion % is the best food and medicine j for teething; babies.

If a mill should work 3,000 tons in one season and nearly all of them do that, the net profit on tin basis for the season's business would amount to, in round numbers, to $18,? 000. This has been about the average profit to the nulls the past season, which as stated above, was probably the most profitable season oil mills have had in several years. Whether the coming seasou will be as profita ble is of course entirely speculative. TRI E VALUE OF PEEI?. The farmers who have need to sol! this fall should study the situation, and, after getting the facts and figures as given above, bo able to arrive at a fair price which they should demand from the mills. Tho oil mill people claim that they will be satisfied with $1 net profit on each ton they work. Basing that estimate on present prices for oil, meal and hulls, and deducting $5.50 per ton to cover the cost of freight and manufacture, leaving the mills $1 profit per ton, the present price of seed should be $19.00 per ton, or about 30 cents per bushel. These figures are based upon cold blocded facts which the oil mills can neither deny or refute. At the open ing of the ginning Beason, for some reason the price of oil is always forced down, and the prioe of seed based up on existing low markets for oil. For the same reason, doubtless, the price of cotton is depressed at the opening of the season, so that tho speculators and spinners can get the staple cheap while the rush is on. Cotton seed oil is several cents a gallon cheaper now than it was t.iree months ago, although the demand, in view of the fact that no oil is being manufactured, should be higher. SOME WHOLESOME AI?VICE. There is no need to be extravagant with printers' ink in condemning the oil mill people for buying their seed as low as they can get them. They are not in the business for their health. The oil mill man will depress the seed market as quick as the cotton buyer. Both have the same object in view and that in to buy the raw material as cheap as possible and sell the manu factured product as high as possible. What the 'producers should do, is to keep themselves posted and demand the true value of their seed, whioh at the present time is 30 cents per bush el. It does no good to sell your seed at $12 or $14 per ton and then "cuss" out the oil mill people for getting the best of you in the trade. Stand firm for your rights and you will receive them. Protect the local, independent home mills by selling your seed to them, instead of strengthening the power of the oil mill trust by selling your seed to the agents of the trust. The independent mill can and will pay just as much for your seed as the trust. If the trust can live and grow fat, give the local mills the preference and the best chance. It is on the line of protecting a homo industry and making the power of the trust weak for the future. I have given you all the figures need ful to work out the value of a ton of seed from the oil mill standpoint every day in the year. These market values are ?'waye printed in the market col umns of your paper. If the price cf oil should drop for auy cause, hold back your seed until prices advance. Don't sell on a low market just to gtt rid of your seed and then after the seed are hauled from the farm and de livered to the mills see the price of oil adviucing. The farmers cao oer tainly control the seed market if they will. The effort is certainly worth making. If a farmer wants to exchange his ated for meal and hulis, get the full mar ket price for your seed and pay the mill the market price for meal and hulls. A fair exchange at present valuations would be one ton of seed for 1,000 pounds of meal and one ton of hulls, or one ton of ?eed for 1,550 pounds of meal. Of course suoh an exohunge cannot bo perfected if you allow the mills to prioe your seed at $14 per ton. The fight for better prices oan be easily won if farmers will stand steadfastly together and simply de mand their legitimate rights. ? A man in Massachusetts, ac cording to an exchange, started out to shoot his wife. But when he pro duced his loaded revolver his better half snatched it out of his hand and proceeded to give him tho thumping that he needed, winding up by firing him out into the street. We don't know what the provocation was, but { it is at least clear why he took tho precaution to go into the affair armed. CLOTHES OFJWtNAND WOMEN Sterner Sex the Best Judge of Femi nine Attire. It is often said that women dross to please each other, but men dress to ph ase themselves. On this point a writer in the Lady's Pictorial says: "Now and then one sees a woman whose clothes are absolutely charac teristic of her and bear the impress of having t>een carefully thought out by their wearer. These are those who never wear garments fashioned like others, but the majority of wo men do not desire nor, indeed, would it become them to be individualistic in their attire. They like to be 'in the fashion.' And the question is, Are they or are men best suited to making what is understood by la mode ? ''On the whole, one inclines to the opinion that men are really the best judges of what best suits the female form divine, and, on the other hand, it woujd seem as if woman's taste in men's clothing is far more reliable than man's. She is quick to detect a mistake in the choice of a tie, to note the angle of a hat, the Bet of a coat, the pattern of a tweed, the shape of a collar, and 6he never falls into the error of urging her men folk to adopt any atrocious things merely because they are described as 'very fashionable.' "The man whom a woman con siders well dressed is well fitted, ab solutely well groomed and quite un obtrusive alike in the matter of hats, waistcoats, ties or patterns, and this looks as if each sex were meant to select the other's clothes. Women are ready enough to admit men's good taste and cleverness in this di rection, but the other sex disclaims with horror the ability of their wo mankind to exercise any judgment with regard to their wardrobes, de spite the fact that an \infavorable feminine opinion of anything they are wearing means its instant dis use. Ferhaps if men and women alike more freely expressed them selves in fashion journals from time to time about each other's clothes it would be better for both." A Venomous Bird. But one species of venomous bird is known to the student of ornitho logical oddities, the rpir n'doob, or "bird of death/" a feathered para dox of New Guinea. It is not a large or formidable looking crea ture, as one would naturally expect, being scarcely as large as a common pigeon, but longer* and of a more slender build. It is of a gray, glossy color, without any special markings except the tail, which ends With a blood red tip. The bird is compara tively helpless, being able to fly but a few feet, and can be caught with out difficulty. However, it is un necessary to say that its poisonous bite cnuscs the native Papuans to let it severely alone. Persons bitten by the creature are seized by mad dening pains, which rapidly extend to every part of the body. Loss of sight, convulsions and lockjaw ate the other symptoms which follow in rapid succession. The natives say that there is not a case on record of a survival of the bite, there being no antidote, death always ensuing within the short space of two hours. Oriental Logic. A man bought three pounds of meat and brought it home to his wife to cook for dinner and then went his way to his place of busi ness in the bazaars. The wife was hungry and ate the meat, says Har per's Magazine. In the evening the man came home and asked for his dinner. "There is no meat," said the wife, "for the cat ate it." "Bring the cat," said the man, "and a pair of scales. "Weigh the cat," said the man. The eat weighed three pounds. "If that is the cat," said the man, "where is the meat? And if this is the meat where is the cat?" Solving a Problem. In a speech in London the other day the orator told an admirable story of the advice given by an Eng lishman, a Scotchman and an Irish man respectively to a gentleman whose servant was constantly break ing articles in the household. The Englishman in his blunt, honest way said to the employer, "Oh, get rid of him?dismiss him." The Scotchman's advice was, "Stop the money out of his wages." "But," said the master, "he breaks more than his wages amount to." "Then," said the Irishman, "raise his wages." The Busy Bee. Every head of clover consists of about sixty flower tubes, each of which contains an infinitesimal quantity of sugar. Bees will often visit 100 different heads of clover before retiring to tho hive, and in order to obtain the sugar necessary for a load must therefore thrust their tongues into about 6,000 dif ferent flowers. A bee will take twenty trips a day when the clover patch is convenient to tho hive and thus will draw the sugar from 120, 000 different flowers in the course of a single d.\y's work.

There are reasons to believe that some of our foreign customers and competitors, notably the British, have abandoned the policy of decrying luv quality of American invention? and manufactures and adopted the more sensible plan of recognizing all our points of superiority and endeavoring to match them. In at least one line of manufacture the adoption of this shrewder policy has already had a de cided effect in curtailing our exports and may produce more serious results. A few years ago the foreign demand for American locomotives was so wide spread and increasing at such a rate that an immense export trade in this line was freely predicted. The superiority of our locomotives was fully established and admitted almost everywhere. American manu facture, therefore, counted ou a large ami steady increase of foreign orders for locomotives and prepared to meet the prospective demaud. We touched the high-water mark of this export trade, however, in 1900. During that year we sold abroad 525 locomotives, valued at $5,592,493. During the fisoal year ended June 30, 1902, our total exports of locomo tives amounted, to only 365, valued at $3,257,894. This was' a very heavy falling off in two years, b'-t the most serious feature of the decline was the fact that the heaviest loss of our loco motive trade was in Europe where we had hoped for such a large permanent market. During the fiscal year just preceding the one ended June 30, 1902, we ex ported to European countries 195 loco motives valued at $2,236,320. Within one year this trade fell to nine loco motives valued at $100,100, and dur ing that year not a single American locomotive was sold in England, Ire land or Sootland. Our sales inoreased that year in Canada, South America, Japan and Cuba, and but for its gains in those markets what promised but a little while ago to grow rapidly into a very important branch of the Ameri can export trade would have dropped almost entirely out of sight. Some of our manufacturers of loco motives are inclined to the opinion that the British intended from the start to use the engines bought in the United States manly aB samples, as they have copied them bo faithfully in some important particulars and.are so well satisfied with the result that they have ceased to buy locomotives in this country. If this is true the imitation will probably continue, for the American inventor and manufacturer* will keep his had and his British competitor will have to lay in a new supply of samples before long.?Atlanta Jour Stops the Cough and Werke off the Cold.

Wu-tiog-fang's chief purpose dur ing his stay in the United States has been to give Americans a better idea of his own people than they could gain by observing the coolie class of immigrants that caused the enact ment of the exclusion law, and to that end he seldom declined an invitation to address cultivated gatherings, ab though simulating reluctance on oc casions only to acquiesce cordially after making it appear that he was not seeking the honor. Some time ago he delivered a memorable address for the benefit of one of the mission churches at Washington, and at the beginning of his remarks, referring to the part played by United States Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts in secur ing his services as speaker for the evening, Mr. Wu said: "When Mr. Roberts came forme he looked so respectable that I could not refuse. You kuow in China we have great respect forage." At this the large audience iudulged in a shout of laughter at Mr. Roberts expense. "I don't mean that he is so old," con tinued Mr. Wu. "It may be that he ! is not much older than I am, but he looked so respectable tbst I had to come with him.' At the time Mr. Wu might well have told the following inoident of the committee's visit to him. Casual mention was made of the fact that the pastor of the ohurch had reoently re signed to enter upon a new field of labor on the Pacifio cost. "Why did he resign?" asked Mr. Wu. "Because he had received a e-II to another church." was the reply. "What salary did you pay him?" "Four thousand dollars." "What is his present salary?" "Eight thousand dollars."
