THE SUNNY SOUTH.
A Visitor Talks OF Olive Oil Made From
Cotton seed.

Mr.. and Mrs. Z. ". Nelson, OF Memphis. are
making tour OF TIE Coast. and are now stop
ping 1t the Rainier hotel on theIr way home
from Alaska. Mr. Nelson Is one OF the success
full men OF Memphis, having been IN the insur-
ance business there ior some years He IS also
interested in number oi outside enterprises.
For while he traded in cotton seei oil, but at
present the iron mines ar engaging his atten-
ton.
In speaking OF the oil trade, he said last night:
america sends each year hundreds OF barrels
o. c0tt0n-seed oil 20 France and ltaiy-prinei-
pai.y France. There our product is mixed with
d little olive oil 70 give il flavor and shipped
back here IS the best imported olive oil. AS a
matter OF fact the most refined cotton-seed oil
does not differ very much from olive oil, though
you can detect the difference in flavor. When
the cotton seed p.Oduct has been mixed with
olive the taste is all right. I believe, toe, that
cotton seed oil Is cleaner and more wholesome
than olive oil. The process OF manufacture is
certainly cleaner, for il is wholly by machinery.
1.-The cotton crop this year Is very large
learn from a letter Just received today, larger
than ever before, so that everybody is in good
spirits over IL.
