•■The first shot fired in the coming
struggle between coal and the Texas
oil as fuel is a in,irked reduction in
fri ight rates on Alabama coal to
Mobile, New Orleans and other
places. The Louisville and Nash
ville has reduced its rate ol $1.75 to
Mobile on coal for local consultin'
lion to $1,10, and corresponding re
diiclioiiH have been made to other
plnces. Temporarily this mav hurt
tin railroads, but eventually they
will lie in shape to haul coal as
cheaply as the Chesapeake and Ohio
does, and they will be greatly bene-
II i ted by the development of busi-
ue:-s created by low cost of fuel.
“The Texas oil supply is a factor
with winch the wot id must now
reckon, for the string of a gusher
twenty miles from Beaumont prac
tically proves that the field is of vast
extent, and that it is capable of af-
feuting the industries not only of
this continent, but of the world. The
oil discovery is an epoh-ninking
event, and it should tie a matter of
universal rejoicing throughout the
South that it is in this section that it
Juts been found, its influence upon
the whole South is beyond calcula
tion. And the vast coal fields of
(M iiui, for which European nations
arc playing the world’s greatest
game of of diplomacy, may prove to
be of less importance in the question,
of international supremacy than this 1 eighteen miles long and oil flowing
Texas discovery. B t the finding of ^ p^i 1 ol the distune,c by gravity, the
cl in Texas will stimulate a search Texts oil men will have a great ad-
tlie information that the railroads
would cut the rate on coal to New
Orleans in order to compete with
Texas oil as fuel. It is believed that
Texas industries will get a great im
petus from the use of oil as fuel, and
that cotton mills, cottonseed mills
and other industries s died to the re
gion will spring up is if bv magic
inTexasand the neighboring parts of
the Mississippi valley. A pipe eigh
teen miles long has already been con
structed to Fort Arthur, where oil is
delivered at ship side.
This will build up a considerable
business in carrying oil by water and
gulf ports, with water freights, will
In* supplied with cheap oil. No
do ibt this will force a general re
duction of coal rates all through the
gulf states.
The immense' advantage of the
Texas oil fields in being situattd so
close to tidewater will lie understood
when it is stated that the Standard
Oil Company Inis just completed at
great expense a pipe line J8ll miles
long, from Bradford, Pa., to Marctis-
liood, Pa., a tidewater point on the
Delaware river, w-liere a pipe 650
feet long has been built. Wharfage
has been secured at four European
ports and ten modern oil carriers
have been built to convey the oil
abroad.
With a pipe line to tidewater only
for it all over the South, and new
sources of wealth undreamed of now
will be found us a result of such in
vestigation.”—-Macon News.

n-sL friend
From tile Atlanta Dally Sews.
On this page we print an interest
ing extract from the Albany Herald
on the subject of killing grass. It is
literally true, as the editor of the
Southern Cultivator said, that thous
ands of farmers in this state are kill
ing themselves killing grass to make
cotton that won’t pay as much as the
grass would if cured and baled.
It is far from the purpose of this
paper to print a screed against cot-
I ton growing. Cotton is our largest
export product and the basis of an
irnoieiisu industry now in process of
development. It is also the means
of subsistence for millions of people
who would find it hard to make a
living any other way. If the cotton
crops were abolished suddenly trade
in southern towns would be paralyz
ed and the country districts would
lie in a state of pillage and anarchy.
Therefore the man who wants to
do away with the cotton crop is not
to lie listened to. Nevertheless we
are doing ourselves about is much
harm by neglecting grass as we
would by Abolishing the cotton crop.
Every resource wasted is so much
loss to the individual, tbe country
and the state. It is the extreme of
extravagance for a country rich in
grasses to buy grass by the million
tons from a country less rich a
thousand miles away.
The watermelon crop, the peach
crop and the truckers’ vegetables
have added immensely to the re
sources ol this state. The dairy in
dustry, only begun, is capable of
immense products and it depends
largely on grasses. The move ent
ile tiie better the market for grasses.
The better grass crops and the more
attention paid to the food value of
hay, the greater will be the' upper
tunity for profitable dairying.
More grass and more cattle will
add to the fertility of the farms while
they increase immensely the products
and profit of agriculture.
The man u ho raises cotton on
commercial fertilizers gels less help
from nature Utah the man with cattle
and grasses.
Farming is hard work at best and
the farmer needs all the help that
uatiirt* will give him.
