II is said that the first cotton seed
mill was erected at the South in
1869, and that now there are fifty
one in operation. There are expor-
ted to Europe annually about $780,
600 barrels of oil, which doubtless
comes back to US, part at least, as
olive oil 1t is also used in soap,
white oils, stearine, and for hundreds
of purposes. The cotton seed cake
is capital cattle food, aud made
into proper shape is splendid fer
tilizer. Its comparative value as at
tested by the State chemist of Geor~
gia is $3.50 a ton and it can be
sold for So TO $50 ton. An ordi-
nary fertilizer that has q commercial
value of S37 is sold at $50 to so a
ton. 1t is admitted that ton of cot
ton seed yields 30 gallons of oil at
SO cents-Sll 80. 1t yields about
So 80 worth of cake and 81 90 worth
of lint. 1t costs about $40 for the
seed and $3.50 for working, barrel
ing, etc making SIC 80 cost on a
yield Of $3.50, or net profit of
81 ton.

last Sunday, aud the people are

Secretary Window has at last
given an outline of bis proposed re
funding policy. At the option Of
the holders, the maturing 6 per cent
bonds will be redeemed or allowed
to bear 80 per cent. interest. In
other words, those who have per
cent. bonds on hand can, if they
choose, draw 80 per cent on them
after maturity from the Government
or exchange them for cash, This
will probably solve the difficulty
caused by the failure of the refund
ing bill to become law.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

When frat enacted, Railroad Of
fciaIs .aid they couldn't successfully
do business under law creating a
board of Commissions to regulate
passenger and freight rates. in Geor
eia, but we fnd that 10 place Of dam
age, that there ia increased freight
end travel, and foreign capitalists
buying railroad stock, leasing and
forming com binations Of s,upendous
magnitude. This looks IS if the
Railroads were fourishing and that
the Railroad Commission had en-
banced values and given greater
confidence, for men do not as a rule
place their money anywhere unless
they believe it will pay These
formidable railroad combinations, 10
side and outside of the State, tend
to impress US With the conviction
that there is greater necessity for
Railroad Commission than ever
Until we are convinced to the con
trary, our opinion will be to contin
ne in existence the Railroad Com
mission, that it may prove a bulwark
against grinding railroad monopo-
lies, which not only attempt to die
tate legislation, but control the ar.
teries of trade add the purse strings
of the people.
