A remarkable instance of tncruial and 'lidoatrial life of Uie ! t his is the effect of tne oil discover- South, licen se of the adaptability of! ies in Texas on railroad rates, this oil for fuel purposes. The Hal-: A few days ago the telegraph lunore .Manufacturer*’ Record says:, brought readers of The Daily News tffoiession&l Cards- •■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.

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. “The Doctors told me my cough was incurable, One Minute Cough 0 re made me a well mail.” Norris Silver, North Kirat.lor t, N. il—Be-i cause you’ve mu tumid reliet trum al stubborn cough, don’t despair.
