COTTON SEED OIL.

The growth of the cotton seed oil in
dustry during the past few years has been
phenomenal. Less than decade ago
this rich product Of our Southern GOTTEN
seed was wholly unknown to commerce,
and yet to-day it not only enjoys a
rapidly increasing popularity in the
worlds market, but even bids fair with in
the next few years to challenge the once
acknowledged supremacy of hog lard.
. In support of this contention it is only
necessary to cite the immense quantity
of cotton seed consumed by the industry
during the past twelve months. 1t is
estimated that since July /. 1896, some
thing over 4, 100000 tons of cotton seed
have found their way into the various
mills Of the coutry to be converted into
cotton seed oil and other resultant pro
ducts
On account of it's purely vegetable orr
gin there are many who contend that for
domestic purposes cotton seed oil will
largely supersede lard. 1t certainly pos
sesses many advantages over lard for
cooking purposes.
To this immediate section of the coun-
try the growing importance OF cotton seed
industry is specially gratifying. Besides

A REVIVAL OF POpPYCocK-

| We are having just now, another taste
OF the monometallist style of logic We
have it in various publications setting
forth the fact and the details of the great
fall in the price of silver bullion. Ac.
cordng to all this, silver SIS on the down
grade and will soon cease to rank anon q
the precious metals, and so we are told,
with gravity too beautiful to be de-
scribed in words, that silver has seen it's
best days and that the advocates of free
coinage may as well abandon their fond
dreams forever
| 1t reminds lis of the lively campaign of
1896. 1t recalls all the ignorance and
stupidity of that never to- be-forgotten
episode. We hear once more the strident
bray of Bynum and Cochran and the
frantic imprecations of the New York
sun. Silver is even more worthless
than it was ten months ago, they tell us
Then "the doll.'r was worth but 80
cents, P" NOW it is worth only -i3 cents"
And all the wiscacres.. and the parrots
and the owls are prating, echoing, and
lookin" wise, until one begins to ques-
ton the wisdom of a..rrovidence that lets
such things continue ''Silver is depre-
ciating every day" screams one miracle
of human intelligence. 1.-The silver dol
lar is losing its purchasing :powerr' wells
monometalIist chorus proceeds to bay the
moon until the welkin fairly rings.
One hesitates to.interiect into this inane
hullabaloo even SO much as Il suggestion
OF common sense and reason. t seems n
wicked waste OF time to ask these red
faced yelpers why silver has deprecated
in the market and whether, if gold were
subjected to the same process, it would
not lose it's commercial value i'm like
ratio. Intrinsically, the proposition is
simple enough. The minis of the civil
lied nations are closed to silver the same
minis are open to gold. In this way the
only thing that makes money Of any
metal is bestowed upon gold and with
he'll from silver In this way gold ac-
quires n fictitious and artificial worth
and silver is reduced to the Standard of
its essential usefulness. In the same
way, were the process reversed-were the
minis closed to gold and opened wide to
silver--would gold depreciate and silver
become more valuable. Yet the mono
metallist orators and editors, the para
graphers and the headline enthusiasts 20
ahead upon their insensate and vocifer-
Gus way rs though reason had vanished
from the earth ana the people had moth
ing left save slobber, gush and poppy
cock.
1t reems to us the most logical result
imaginable that silver, bereft of it's
money attribute, should depreciate il. the
market. Like gold, it has but u limited
adapability to the use of mankind. 1t
cannot he applied to any practical pur-
pose. II is not susceptible of conversion

chinery, into tools, etc 1t is ft only

A WELCOME TO THE CONVENTION

The Times extends hearty greeting to
the delegates to the Democratic conven-
tion, and on behalf of the citizens of Roa-
noke cordially welcomes them to the
Magic City of Southwest Virginia. With
population composed of representa-
tives frLm all parts of the Union the city
is ut the same time thoroughly loyal to
while it has all the aggresiveness and
enterprise of western community,
its people have also all the true iu-
stincts of Virginia and Southern hos.
pitality. The visitors will find that every
possible arrangement has been made for
hoped their stay here will prove not only
pleasant but profitable, since they will
learn what splendid resources this Sec
tion of the State possesses and what COM
bined energy and capital can accomplish
in building up community
Fifteen years ago this place was only q
wayside station in rich agricultural
section, but Big Licks have been struck
here since then. as orr guests will see, in
the upbuilding Of n live and prosperous
city. A little village has grown into
thriving and progressive community with
industries and trade that are the pride of
its people and the wonder of all who
have studied it's history.
When Virginians from other sections
see what has been accomplished here, it
will inspire them to renewed efforts in
their respective localities, and the frater-
nal rivalries thus established cannot fail
to inure to the benefit of that grand old
commonwealth of whom all of us are so
proud, and who but for her generosity in
behalf of other States, in giving away an
empire in itself, would to-day be the
Prussia of America, instead Of the much
maligned mother of States and Pres
idents. 1t was the same generous spirit
which caused Virginia to forego the royal
preferences of England and help to fight
the battles of Massachusetts and the
brought her to bare her breast to the
blows Of that same State and section
when the South appealed to her for help.
However, we have no complaint to make
at the course of events. Bravea.men bear
the ills that fall to their lot with eQua-
nimity and fortitude and thus prove
themselves worthy of the honors and
benefits which fortune may finally be-
stow. Better times are in store for us
all, and it is hoped the members of the
convention in the wisdom of their action
will prove themselves worthy sons of
heroic sires Much may depend upon the
course of the convention, and The Times
hopes that wisdom and harmony may
mark Its deliberations and that when
the delegates return to their homes it
will be with n consciousness of duty we'll
done, and with pleasant memories of
Roanoke and her people.
