Ransom, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the most prominent men in the Cotton Oil Industry in the United States, who was an ex-President of the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' Association, to prepare an article on the cottonseed industry for publication in that paper. On July 18 Mr. Ransom wrote that the article which he had been working on during his spare time had grown to the dimensions of a book, and stated that he believed the subject of the great cottonseed industry of the South, treated purely from a historical and industrial standpoint, ought to be of general interest to the public, and at his request the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter undertook the publication of this book. On September 19 Mr. Ransom wrote a letter discussing certain mechanical features of the book, which had not definitely been decided upon. At that time the complete manuscript was in our hands. On September 20 we received information of Mr. Ransom's sudden death, which occurred on the 19th. The arrangements which Mr. Ransom had made for the publication of his book, just before his death, have been carried into effect by the publishers.
