Gibson rendered decision in the second
bill filed 10y the minority stockholders OF
the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
Railway against the directors OF the COM
pany and the Richmond & West Point Com
pany this afternoon. The complaint was
made that the holders OF the first prefer

Of directors without the participation OF
the holders OF the second preferred and
common stock, and an injunction was
prayed for TO stop the election OF directors

THE COTTON OIL TRUST.
A Conference Effected With the South

A Conference Effected With the South
ern Cotton Oil Company.
This promises to be great year for the
cotton seed crushers. No war, no throat
cutting, no fighting for seed, and big
money for the manufactured product.
Just think OF it, only $l1 ton is paid
for seed delivered, and oil is worth 40
cents gallon.
A meeting was held in New Orleans last
week between prominent cotton seed oil
dealers, to arrange detail for obtaining cot
ton seed. The oil trust has decided TO
adopt a conciliatory policy with the out
side companies under which any mill
which can show that it can work up TO-
600 tons OF seed, will be guaranteed its
full capacity OF the raw material. The
meeting was between the managers OF the
American Cotton Seed Oil Trust and tho
Southern Oil Company, and for the pur-
pose OF arranging terms between them
and disseminating the war that has hith-
erto prevailed, satisfactory compromise
was reached, and in future there will be
no cotton seed oil war, but fair division
OF the seed among all the mills in the
South.
