100000 SAVED IN
TINY TARIFF ITEM
Removal of Duty on Press Cloth
Likely to Prove Valuable to the
Cotton Seed Men.

Buried deep in the long list Of arti-
cles which the new Democratic tariff
bill proposes to put on the free list is
a single item which will save the
South more than 100000 per year,
and which viii save Georgia alone
one-ffth that amount This is the
removal of duty on press cloths.
Press cloths are a peculiarly tough
fabric, made from camel hair, in
which cotton seed is held when sub
mitted to the enormous pressure nee
essary to extract the valuable oil
which is one of the Souths great
sources of wealth.
Camel hair press cloths the past
season have cost about &C cents a
pound 1t is estimated that the cost
Of press cloths averages 80 cents for
each ton of cotton seed pressed. The
Census Bulletin, recently issued, gives
the tonnage of cotton seed crushed
the past season as 100000 tons. The
South thus spent 81, 1862, 600 for press
cloths for the seasons crush.
The duty is approximately two
thirds of the cost of camel hair cloth.
A saving of this amount would aggre-
gate S90S, 900 Georgia has 159 Of the
$50 cotton seed oil mills in operation
the past season. something more than
one-fifth of the total.
Il understand the worlds output of
camel hair is in the hands of a very
few persons" says Mckee president
of the Georgia Crushers Association.
These men may take advantage Of
the absence of duty to hoist the price.
If they do not, the saving will be
enormous in the aggregate. Even if
the price is raised somewhat, the saw
ing promises to be large Because Of
the high cost of camel hair, crushers
have been using substitutes the last
few years. Substitute cloths, of cot
ton or horse hair, do not last as long.
and the saving from their use is small
since they have to be replaced so
often"
