A Cotton Seed Oil sfonopoly.


A dispatch to the MORNING NEWS
| from Columbus. Ga, published yester-
/ day, stated that the American Oil and
| Trust Company had purchased the cot
| ton seed oil mill of that city. To many
OF the readers of the MORNING NEWS,
| perhaps, this dispatch did not appear to
1 be particularly important. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the sale OF a cotton
seed oil mill is not a matter calculated to
attract very general attention. Cot
ton planters, however, who have
watched this American Oil and Trust
Company, understood that the sale Of this
mill was another Indication that huge
monopoly was gradually getting control
OF the cotton seed oil business OF the
country.
! The American Oil and Trust Company
was started in very moderate way In
New York two or three wears ago, by a
few New York men who associated with
them one Cincinnati and one New Orleans
man. 1t has gradually grown until il has
absorbed very large percentage OF all
cotton seed oil mills in the country. Its
purpose now 10 said to be to contl<@them
all. 1t will then be in a position to fix
the price OF cotton seed and of cotton seed
oil. Its possibilities for reaping enor-
nous profits are immense. Even
now it is feared by the mills
OF which it has not yet been able to get
control. If it is not now it soon will be
In a position to ruin all the small mills,
just as the Standard Oil Company ruined
all the small coal oil producers and gained
absolute control Of the coal oil business.
Originally the American Oil and Trust
Company does not appear to have had any
greRtamount of capital. A rather valua-
BILE patent was purchased for small sum
and made the basis OF the enterprise at a
very large valuation. The owners of a
few mills were induced to put their mills
into the undertaking at much more than
their real value. Other mill owners were
then approached, their mills purchased
and paid for in stock, which PROM
ised to become vaiuabls under the
| system that 1t was proposed
to pursue. The concern has grown grad
ually until it threatens to become an
overshadowing monopoly. The stock,
which early last summer was offered at a
very low price, has been forced up to so
per cent. of its par value, and it is
claimed that it will reach 70 before the
middle of winter.
| What are the cotton planters going to
do about il? If competition is destroyed
they will have to take what they can get
/ for their cotton seed. The American Oil
| and Trust Company will control the
market, and millions of dollars which
ought to 90 into their poe kets will 60 into
the Golfers of the monopoly.
The only thing which the planters can
do is to join together IN their respective
neighborhoods ana establish central mills
for ginning cotton and making cotton
seed oil. In that way they can defeat
| the monopoly and get the benefits which
would flow from having their cotton
ginned by improved machinery. II the
purposes OF this Oil and Trust Company
are what they are represented to be the
planters will have to do something to pro-
tect themselves.

Is Not This a siander ?

Congressman Swinburne, of Albany, N.
Y, is reported In the New York Tribune
as saying that the Georgia delegation,
during the last session OF Congress, was
not in harmony with the President. In
support of mis- assertion he said that every
one of the Georgia Congressman "had
Endorsed Tor a cierkship In the Treasury
Department, a maiden lady, but no one OF
the delegation was willing to set foot in
side the Treasury 10 present the papers.
They finally asked him il he would not
present the petition. He told them, after
they had explained the situation, that he
would be willing TO present the papers,
but not to recommend an appointment.
With this understanding he went to Assis-
tant Secretary Fairchild and was by him
referred to Assistant Secretary Smith,
and as Mr.. Smith was just gong out OF
Office the petition was turned over to his
successor" CONGRESSMAN Swinburne
says that this is fair illustration of the
feeling of the Southern members toward
the administration.
As the Georgia Congressman appear to
have got some pretty substantial favors
from the administration, this story OF
Congressman Swlnburne sounds little
fshy. However, we are not in posi-
ton TO deny il. What have Representa-
hive Norwood and Senators Brown and
Colquitt TO say about It?

A Monkey Show on Large Scale to be
Established.
From. the So. Louis Republican.

From the So. Louis Republican.
Two or three nights ago met at the South
ern Hotel an old friend, wealthy retired
merchant, who was born and reared in st.
Louis. He has always been regarded as
sensible, practical business man, free from all
ldlosyncrasles and Authorizations. On this
occasion, however. he showed signs of being
dreamer. He related to some friends who
were sitting with him a scheme he had on
hand for making an immense sum of money
IN few months. His idea is to start mon
kew show IN New York on large scale. He
claims that monkeys are the most attractive
animals in show, cage of half dozen of
them drawing larger crowds than the ele-
plants, the lions and tigers and the hippo
potamuses. Now" he said, IF a bunch OF
seven or eight monkeys is the biggest attrac-
lion IN menaxerie what a sensation 5000
monkeys in cages would greater Monkeys can
be purchased at 81 apiece and 5000 will cost
only $4,000. The show will draw at least
5000 people day. and at SOC. admission the
receipts will amount to $4,000 a day, $l7,50U
week, 900 In year. Think of that! In
ten years the total profits wall be $3.50, 900,
without counting the interest on the money
In the meantime. 1 expect to become the
richest man in the world. Compared to me
old Cr9sus would be considered pauper.
But, gentlemen, am not so selfish and penu-
rious as co monopolze this business of mon
key showing. am willing to take you IN as
partners. Say there will be four of US, with
capital stock of $40, 900 for each stakeholder;
We candivide for each one in ten years the
sum OF S2,S39,6 800. What do you say? Will
you be my partners in the monkey bust
ness?'
The dreamer's three friends all positively
refused TO put their money into the Ut0pian
enterprise.
You won't join me, then2 Well, I know
what you win do, because | never knew one

And ached. although plugged up with cotton
Had them ali drawn.
And, when they were gone,
Some new ones of mans make had gotten.
This lady, one Sabbath dav hallowed,
Sought vainly her teeth; her eyes followed
Her thoughts high and low
Till at last she said, "Oh!

She grew very sick and got thinner
And wept like penitent slnner;
The doctors heads shook
Whenever they'd look
And think of the molars within her.
At last when she thought she was dying
And the doctors Incsion were trying,
The house maid rush I'd in
And said. with grin,
She'd found the teeth meath the bed lying,

1t appears that the earthquake which
occurred in Greece Aug. 81 caused great
deal of misery in the Messinian district,
where many lives were lost. Whole
towns and villages were thrown into
heaps OF ruins. The government is doing
what it can to help the sufferers, and the
relief committee which was formed at
Athens is doing all it can to alleviate
suffering. The acting Greek Consul at
New Orleans, MIR. Anthony T. Rolli, has
published an appeal for assistance, and
contributions are being received in that
city. From the statements of Mr.. Rollrs
appeal the loss OF life and property in the
Messinian district was greater than was
caused iu this country by the earthquake
OF Aug. 81.

Col. Enfott.s Canvass.

The people of the Beaufort Is. CO. Con-
gressional district have an opportunity
to secure Representative in Congress
who can do them some good, Col. William
Elliott, the Democratic candidate, is a
man of very high character and splendid
ability. He is thoroughly familiar with
the wants OF the people of the district,
and is capable OF seeing that their wants
are satisfied and their interests protected.
Robert Smalls has represented the dis
trict quite a number of years. He has
done nothing for it, and is not likely to do
anything. He Is not qualified Tor the DO
sition, and there is no prospect tina he
ever will be. He may be able 10 til some
positions satisfactorily, but not that OF
Congressman.
The Savannah river planters need Just
such a man in Congress as Col. Elliott.
He has the right sort OF ability to look
after their interests successfully. They
cannot do wiser thing than use their in
fiuence 10 the utmost to get their laborers
to vote for him. OF course they Will sup
port him, because they know the direc-
tion in which their interests lie, but their
vote, without good work and
plenty of it, will be of little account
if solidlY opposed by the colored
vote. A little earnest effort among the
colored voters will pretty certainly be
productive of GOOD results. In Col. Elliott
the planters would have Representative
who would watch their interests conscl-
entiousIy and inteligently, and who, at
the same time, would not overlook the
wants OF the humblest of his constituents.
