Cheap Cotton Seed OIL Mills.
Editor Telegraph :

Editor Telegraph
Why do you not urge our people 10
establish more cotton seed oil mills
These mills are being put up on a
cheaper scale than ever and are now
Within the means OF every community.
On a recent trip To the Mississippi
river learned that the oil mill at
Rodney, Miss, and that at Port Gibson
made over so per cent profit on their
entire Investment last year. Oil is
now very high and these little mills
either do not arouse the ire aud excite
the jealousy of the great Trust, or their
operations are too confined aud limited
to be controlled or disturbed by the
combination. These mill. can he put
up and all the machinery bought for
about $4,000. They run only few
presses and consume comparatively
few tons Of seed. Four or Ave plan
tstions would furnish all the seed re-
quired to run such a mill an entire
season. Yet it pays immensely.
Here Is q chance for the Farmers
Union and, indeed, for everybody who
wants to make money aud develop the
resources of our common country.
Among all The schemes for adVanc-
log the interests OF our people, please
give the building of these small mills
\ prominent place. 1t may not bear
fruit Immediately, but such agitation
always pays in the end. There can be
no higher vocation than the encour-

Mr.. BAyard and the ex President were
the only two up and dressed when the

stirring. Col. J. f. Hart, president Of
the Board Of Trade, and F. w. Haw-
thorne, of the Times Union, called al
the car and were received by Mr..
Cleveland and MI. Bayard. They
invited the party to pay Jacksonville y
visit on the return from Cuba, and the
invitation will undoubtedly be accep>
