asks himself it the newspapers of this
section ara not overdoing matters by their
continual and persistent praising of its
rllmale and Its products and Indeed this
constant and vociferous laudation of
everything on the coast country would
appear to an unreflecting observer to In-
dicate not only a lack of taste but a pro-
vincialism that Is not creditable to the
residents ot the country But aa a mat-
ter Of fact we are all J us tilled in giving
expressions to our admiration of the cli-
mate and other natural advantages of
the coast country because their superior
It can not be called In question and be

of Individual or collective merit In on

mate and the soil are what nature made
them It has become our good fortune
to discover this wonderful combination of
rood thiags and ln proclaiming th ex-
cellencies of the natural conditions here
we are limply evidencing our own good-
will toward our fellow of tba North and

Tl > Cotton Ull Intluatry
Th New York Journal of Commerce
had th following Th cotton seed oil
season which Is closing 1 reported to have
not been affected by lb restrictive tariff
which Germany Imposed during th
spring An official of the Southern Cotton
Oil company when cooversed with yes-
terday saldi The advanced tariff on cot-
ton sed oil which Germany linpowd
some time ago haa had no Important
effect upon the exports of otton seed oil
rrom this country In fact X dont be
lieve It ha been frit The on Just
drawing to a close compares favorably
with prvlou seasons and there 1 Just
enouifh oil In stock to supply th demand
until w begin to run Into the nw stock
which nlll L In about six weak
So far as Germany Is concerned It does
not tntir largely into our exporta Ger
many Is a small consumer compara
tively speaking Our great markets are
located at Rotterdam and In Italy aud
Austria Germany imports ry Bttl oil
direct from this market and hthr
h irnoort from other market X doift
know German manufacturer of artifi
cial butter are the principal consumers
and eatly In the spring fearing that tho
higher tariff would act against them they
ent repfpientattvce over to inspect our
plant in order to erect plants whereby
they could refine crude oil Wo gave
one representative letters of Introduction
and lie called on several mill owners In
th South We thought he might return
but he never did and I doubt very much
whether lys employer ever added to his
plant In the first place th higher tar-
iff reacts on the German manufacturer
without Inflicting n embargo or ua Th
outlet for the oil la as great as It ever
w and no Inconvenience has been suf-
fered ln little whlle tho Germans may
rtnd out wher they have mad a mis-
take for they aro onty Injuring their own
Interests
The home consumption ot cotton seed
oil has been restricted on account of com-
peting products chiefly lard Animal fats
have been so cheap that soap makers
have used them more extensively Comi
pound lard of which cotton seed oil forms
a component part also ha been affected
by the low price of natural lard and
therefor some sellers have held out to
the last ln th hop ot securing better
prices
Regarding tho coming seaion ther
Is not much Improvement to be looked
for Intho first place the first oil that
will reach this market will be of infe-
rior quality Oenerally prime oil reaches
the market during th latter part of Goto
ber but I thluk It will be a late as No-
vember before we begin to receive any
prime oil
The ea on Is now nbout two weeks
late We generally hear from Texas ahout
thts time A a rule our mill at Houston
has been crushing at this time tn pre-
vious seasons but It U Just taking tu
seed now Tho valny season has sctrd
adversely and the s ed Is very tmtverfett
nnd consequently the llrst oil will be ma
terlally below prime The whole trouble
arise from the fact that crushers are
afraid that the supply of seed will give
out before they are able to get what
they want that they bid tho price up tn
the top notch and when they end their
buying season they find themselves con-
fronted with a low ell market ami a
large stock of very expensive mnterlil
whtrh Is probably a total loss before the
end of the season Hood ran material
purchased at a reasonable prlre Is always
a valuable asset and the time Is long
since past when buyers of sect ought tu
know that thete Is enough to go around

I dont remember any summer when

for the Southwest We are doing It now
and the ship are going usually one day
lit advance Last year at this time w
were pending only two ships per week
and they wero not full Of course thli
to us Is the best evldenrrt of Improve-
ment
One of the best Illustrations of the
growth of the Southwest Is the crops of
Tcxaa last year whkh so far as eottoti
is concerned waa onethird uf the entire
crop of the South or 3000 000 bnlea
Western Iioulstana show marked Im-
provement ln the last few yiars Ihe
prairie country wtst of Lafayette Hi
miles from New Oih > ans was considered
worthies exrrpl for cattle railing lu the
last ten y < ara It haa been aettltvi by
colonic from the West and Notthwest
no that today It produces more tic limn
any other section of th State
In 1VJ7 the first crop of rice was
shipped from that part or tho State lu
llkti alKiut 1SO000UOO puuud wus shipped
This year the crop will he nearly VWOHWrt
l > ound in 1865 lands could be bought lu
this section from W cent to tl K pti
crci now It Is worth 130 to V0 per acre
When asked If hi section Buffered

leplled The South stood the dpresslon
better than any pait of Amerlcu We
havn been fortunate In having kood cropa
with littla or no speiutatlon and hmco
the population was not affected by the
fluctuations of the finance of thocoun
try A ralr Illustration of thts Is the
freedom from fallun of bank and bu

raldly In the last ten year New Or

manufactured product of over MOOOOOO
Niarly all Inve tments have had good
returns except the coal and Iron Inter
eat Taking Into cons I ration the de-
velopment of coal In the South In the
pal fifteen year and the very Urge In-
crease In tho production of cotton tho
lfaults are antonlshlng
Only a few years ago the people of
Texas bought all they ale from the West
now they are exporting corn bacon and
flour very largely lu 1WW the population
was barely over 1 OuO000 It ls now said
to be over 1000 000
General Hutchinson tell a story nt
town building In Southwest Louisiana
It Is s country occupied for about litt
years by the Arcadians They never found
tho value of the lands and lived a se-
cluded life Some flvo or six years ago
two brothers W W and C O Duaon
concluded la build a town They called
It Crowley and It ls now a charming
little city
Last year the Dusons started another
city named Eunice which promise to
be even greater than Crowley
Th planter are reaping large fortunes
from rice planting and have built a
costly canal some thirty mile long
through which they barge their crop to
connect with the Southern Pactflo rail-

Whllu refctsttrlng 1 heard an uncom-
plimentary remark and on turning saw
Coined wtth a parly ofabout ten or
twelve friends among whom I noticed
his manager Brady his brother and hi
MoVey hi rubb r down I wa aurprbiw
at weeing the party and said Hello

answer wasi How the h1 do you thluk
I am 1 paid no attention to the remark
and turned to the register to Ilnlsh my
name when Corbett ssld lo the clerk
Why dont you write his nam for him
he cant write On which I turned and
smilingly replied Oh I giieas I can
and 1 never claimed to b a bank clerk

At this he let forth a volley of abtisj
and said Well I see you are ud to your

that to me 1 hi eemed to be a signal
for everybody to Jump in and makt gen-
