Tie COTTON SEED OIL BILL.--A
very vigorous ii 5ht Is being made be-
fore the agricultural committee OF the
House against the passage OF the Grout
bill, which, If successful will effect
very injnriously the cotton seed oil in
dustry OF the South. Representative
Stokes, who Is member OF the ag-
rlculIural committee, is taking an
active part in the fight against the bill
in the Interest OF his own constituents
and the cotton seed oil industry OF the
South generally. He said: The news
papers OF the South arc not giving Us
much attention to this measure as its
Importance TO the interests OF their
section would warrant, and it seems to
ne that the people OF tho South are
not aware how seriously this bill will
all ct their industries, or they would
take kccncr interest in the proceed
lngs before the committee. There have
been cotton seed oil men from North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia
up here looking after individual inter
ests, but as yet there has been only one
delegation before the committed, and
thatwas from Texas. In my judgment
the people who have large interests in
the cotton seed oil trade should at once
get their side OF the question before the
agricultural committee at the earliest
possible moment, for the people OF the
North and Northwest sections of the
country arc working very hard for the
passage OF the Bin, and il there is not
some hard and ,n n1ctivc work done By
the people OF the South and other Sc
ctions which will be al, cttd d hy the
passage OF the bill it seems to me that
the cotton seed industry will suffer
very greatly
