The large amount of cotton seed shipped
from Sumter County every fall is suggestive
of the advantages Of cotton seed oil mill.
Where one price is received for tha, particular
product now, an oil mill would coin the
money to be ,urued over several times
There would be money for the seed, money
for the oil, money for fuel, money for labor,
and the best of ali, money kept at home.
Will our people ever open their eyes? If
manufacturers cat make money out of cotton
seed after purchasing it nere and giving two
or three margins upon it and paying freight
and other expenses incidental to the manu-.
facture of oil, could not home enterprise
make as much or more money with fifty per
cent less expense Why don't some one con-
slider aud make q move? 1t is rs plain as
the nose on your face, and i, does not take a
large amount Of money for cotton seed oil
plant. Wake up and keep money at bone,
aod give our own unemployed work, and
create home market ;or our home products.
