To reproduce thll special oil in sufficient quantities tfl give It a brand* and build np a trade for a perfect edible oil. Immediately became the object of the company. To accomplish this result th- man* agement offered to Mr. Hammond Eve. of t>4 -Savannah district, who had refined the A rat shipment. * onstrat^gHs ability to reproduce tbla depended not only upon perfect refin ing methods, but also upon the selec tion Of raw material of the very best quality. Such oil Is not produced every year, but the Southern Cotton o\l Company determined to keep up the standard, and will carry over enough choice oil from year to year to insure a sufficient supply of uni form qualfty. For several month* bast oil of this perfected 'quality only haa been used lb cases. The public seems to . Immediately recognise the superiority of the oil as the trade has been doubled. Therefore, the Southern Cotton Oil ComiSAnir hu decided to nwxw and. distinctive label for this special oil which shall hereafter bp known aa Wesson- Snowdrift OU for cooking and gal ad s. and be put up In tlna only.

Vnnual Review Shows Great Pro(tfpM of the Sooth. r II Washington, D. C.. June 13. ? The h annual review of foreign commerce of the United Staten Just issued by d the Department of Commerce and Labor, reveals some footsteps in I Southern progress that are of great li Importance. ' ? \ % Comparing the exports of 1899 a and 1909 It Is found that those from the flulf ports hare Increased 110 per cent. In the ten years. The ex- ^ ports from Atlantic ports Increased only 12 per cent, during the same I period. Of the 17 Atlantic ports showing either large or small ln: creases during the ten years, seven are Southern ports. The greatest in crease In exports made by any one * of' the seven was 926,870.584 at 8a- 11 vannah, Ga., showing a growth of 3 more than ill per cent, over 1899. 11 The greatest proportionate increase ^ was made by 8t. John's, Florida (the 1 district of Jacksonville), which port * showed an increase of over 700 per 1 cent. The oth^r noteworthy in- 1 creases were Wilmington, N. C., 170 * per cent.; Fernandina, Fla., 102 per ? cent., apd Brunswick, Ga., 42 per * cent. Another matter worthy of very cheerful consideration Is that where as In 1899 the exports frosa the Quit - ports equalled only, 22 per cent, of the exports from Atlantic ports. In lf09'they equalled 41 per cent. The Import figures for the 10 years prove a closer touch of Southern sea ports with the commerc of the world, for while Atlantic ports increased in the 10 years 76 per cent., Gulf ports increased 24 0 per cent. As evidence that the increase of 76 per cent, that was made by Atlantic ports was very . largely dependent upon the Increase?! made by South Atlantic ports, the ! following cities and their Increases tare Mentioned: Baltimore, Md., |9.- 4 1161,166 to $24,022,224; Charleston. 8.
