We are gratiied in being enabled TO remark that
the lubricating oil made by the " Southern Oil Com
paDy has, in every instance when it has been tested
on railroads. been pronounced superior to that pre-
vlously used. Thee ircular got Uyby the Companys
managers for circulation in the sugar making com.
munes Is now published, and from it we glesn some
interesting facts in connection with the Of this
nome enterprise, one of the earliest End rmest advo
Gates Of which we may justly claim to have been.
This oil has been subjected to the mocs severe trials
during the past summer in the Stats Of Georgia,
where, on the Western Atlantic and the Georgia
Central Roads, comparative tests Of the most trying
character were instituted it being made % compete
with the best lard oil the one road ard the best
sperm on the other, and the triumph was complete,
the Southern Oil Company's lubricator being pre-
nouneed superior to any other oil ever used those
roads,


1t is needless, however, to bring to the attenion Of
this community any testimony additional to whathas
been, from time to time, during the past twelve
months, so abundantly and convincingly presented,
giving every assurance of the superior lubricatng
properties Of the oil, and OF the consequent entire
Of the enterprise in which the company man
ufacturing it embarked. Both are established and
admitted facts. Our only object is to call the parti
ouo
to request of them, in behalf Of the Company, the
adoption into their machinery use during the ensu.
ing grinding season Of the product Of this Southern
manufacture. Though the evidence supplied is con
vncing proof Of its superiority, the Board Of Direct
ors have nevertheless, instructed the agent to fully
guarantee the oil in every respect for the uses fol
which it is recommended, and in any case where il
should not give satisfaction the oil be returned
and the money refunded. Planters are requested
also to communicate direct with the agent ii there


is any apparent defect in the oil, or any complaints
of any kind, to enable the Company to dispatch
an agent to investigate the causes.


Planters can, therefore, order the oil with the as
surance of the Board of Directors that 1t will answer
the purpose for which it Is sod and the Company is
responsible. Such guarantee should be sufficient to
ensure to the Southern Oil Company the supplying
of every plantation in State, for with saving o


rs per cent. in the cost Of the article compared
with lard OIL and of at least Is per cent. in wear
making total saving Of quite 40 per cent, they will


have the satisfaction Of extending encouragement to
and cooperating in establishing permanent homs
manufacture. This is the season when planters
are laying in their supplies, and we urge upon them
as well for their own interest from feeling com
mon to them and to us, to one and to all, to adop


the use of home productions whenever it can b


done without too great pecuniary sacrifice. In th


present they not called upon to contribute


one cent in support of motive SO paramount, but OF


the contrary they get for their money an article il


every respect superior to that which they have beel
using for the same purpose, and at the same tim


make saving Of from IS to 40 per cent.
