A $30,000,000 Company Formed It is to be Known as the British American Campany and J. B. Duke is Its President. London, Sept. 27. The tobacco war has been ended by the amalga mation of the American aud British interests. The papers were finally signed to-day. The new company will be registered in London Mon day. An official statement was givn out, the text of which follows: "The business of the Ogdens, limited, has been transferred to the Imperial To bacco Company, and the export business of the Imperial, Ogdens and the American Tobacco Company and its allies have been amalgamated and a joint company is in course of formation under the name of the British-American Company, limited.' The result is that the Imperial Com pany will, as agreed between the hitherto competing parties, be left in possession of the trade of the United Kingdom, while the American Com pany is not to be disturbed in the United States or Cuba, and the British-American Company will compete for the trade of the other parts of the world. The Imperial Company will pay for the good will of the Ogdens business in ordinary shares, ranking with the similar shares of the original vendors behind the 5 J per cent, pre ference shares of that company and will pay for the tangible assets of the Ogdens in cash. "J. B. Duke, R. H. Walters and Thos. Ogden will be elected to seats in the Imperial board and the first directors of the British-American Company will consist of Sir Wm. Henry Wills, J. B. Duke, J. B. Cobb, H. H. Wills, W. R. Harry, C. E. Lambert, W. W. Fuller, W. G. Player, C. C. Dula, Hugo Von R. Cunliffe Owen, Percival - S. Hill, Thomas Gracey, W. B. Ogden, Thomas Ogden, R. H. Walters, Percy Ogden, W. R. Walters and Harold Roberts. "The transfer of the Ogdens' Eng lish business will take effect Septem ber 30, and from that day it will be in the hands of the Imperial Com pany. "It is believed that this combina tion is the first. attempt to unite any great international industry and its progress will be watched with in terest everywhere. It may mark a new development in the direction of British and American interests join ing hands instead of competing against each other in the sphere of commerce." SOUTHERN FED CATTLE. There are said to be 120 cotton oil mills in course of construction, and Mississippi is especially active in that direction. This is explained by the fact that western cattlemen have created a sharp demand for cotton seed meal. Corn-fed cattle bring bet ter prices if fed a while on cotton seed meal before they . are sent to market. This creates a heavy de mand for cotton seed meal. The time will come when cattle will be fed in the south instead of Kansas, or Missouri, or Iowa. There is no reason in the world why range cattle should not be fattened here, thus doubling to this section the value of cotton seed meal and hulls, The range space in the south is ample, and the fattening material is the very best. When the west con fesses that cotton seed meal is better cattle feed than corn the argument is closed. The enterprise of the south should be turned in this direction, because all the advantages of climate, cheap lands and feed are here, and the feeding pens of the country should be here also. Cattle and stock raising should be given the attention they deserve in the south. This would lead to a heavy yicrease in fertilizing material, and cotton could be made at lower cost. But aside from this consideration, there is money in cat tle grown ond fattened in this sec tion. v 0 AT THE GREAT DEPARTMENT STORE OF For the Benefit of my Country Friends, during the Next Thirty Days, Beginning Oct 1 st, Nov. 1st, 1902 As I have been running Special Sales during the entire Spring and Summer season for the town people, I have concluded to give my country friends, also, a chance to buy goods at Special Sales prices during the next sixty days.
