OIL MEN MEET.-There was a large gath
ering Of oil men in Columbia Thursday. They
met to discuss cotton oil and cotton seeds.
Those Iwho were present were: Is. G..
Johnston, Easley, s. c.; Geo. L. Baker,
Columbia; w. r. Doty, Winus boro; G. Fitz-
simmons, Columbia; w E. Thomson, Unioo;
Alexander Loag, Spartanburg Chas. II.
Fisher, Edgefeld; J. A. Brock, Anderson;
L: w. Floyd, Newberry; A. ii. Cureton,
Greenville; r. II. Hudgins, Laurens; +. Nj.
Lipscomb. Ninety-Six; W. B. Milwee, Green
wood; J. I. Rice, Belton; J. d. Dawson, Au-
gusta; D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte; F. Oliver,
Charlotte.
1t is thought that the lard men in Chicago
who use large quantities of cotton oil have
combined to reduce the price. At the be.
ginning cf this season the price of oil was
about 40 cents per gallon at the mills, where
as now it has declined to be as low as about
25 cents at the mills. Besides the action Of
the lard men in bearing the oil market, there
has been seed war in Texas. This Texas
seed war is now about ended but so much
seed have already been marketed that the
| oil is becoming hard to sell at any price Il
is understood that the purpose of the meet
| ing at Columbia was to confer about the stu
alton and devise means to defeat the beal
| movement in the oil market.
Last year the oil business "bo )med," bu
| this year everybody is blue and in doub
about what to do. None Of the m;lls al,

do not exactly understand Nox in his article
last week, where he spoke of me as going
