pE COTTON OIL TRUST.
Success Already Assured for the
IRdeDsndent Oil Company.

The organizatioa of the independent
Cotton Oil Company, the $1,000, 900
concern, with headquarters at Darling
tor, will put Charleston in closer touch
with an enterprise the success of which
Is already assured. It was thought for
time that headquarters would be
located in this city, bat, owing to
the fact that all of the mills are in
the Pee-Dee section, the idea prevail
cd that Darlington, was more suited
for the purpose for the present, at
least. The company7s big refinery,
which has daily output Of 100 bar
rels of the refined product, will re-
main In Charleston, as matter of
course, and it will be fed by the mills
recently merged under the new man
agement.
By this new arrangement all of the
products from the plants controlled by
the new corporation will be shipped
10 Charleston and the refined oil
will be manufactured here. This will
naturally make Charleston the main
point OF distribution and goods will be
shipped from here to. New York by
water.
The men who are behind the In
dependent Company have been study
ing the Oil business for years.
They have lived By the mills and they
have realized the importance Of an
investment Of this kind. It was not
SO long ago that the farmers were
discarding cotton seed as practically
worthless, except for fertiliZing pur-
poses, bat, nowadays the seed COM
mands as ready sale as the staple from
which they are ginned. Two seasons
ago the demand for cotton seed was
SO great that the price scared high.
The market, however, is steady and
while many of the manufacturing es-
tablisnmeDts are offering good prices,
there is always sufficient quantity
to supply the mills scattered throughout
the State.
There are a number Of mills in the
Pee-Dee. country and of those left out
OF the yirginia-Carolina combine the
