COTTON SEED SUPPLY EXHAUSTED.
Scarcity May Force American
Cotton Oil Company to Close
Its Columbia Mill.

Columbia, Dec 4-There is press
ing scarcity of cotton seed in the
local market, almost unprecedented
for this season of the year. Although
the price is far below that prevailing
in the beginning of the season, there
is no bope of materially increasing the
supply by showing up the price, as
the seed cannot be had in any great
quantity at anything like reasonable
price, so the cotton oil people report.
This condition is expected to force
the American Cotton Oil company to
close its Columbia plant, which has a
capacity of 80 tons, in the immediate
future-probably today if shipment
which is expected to arrive from dis
tance does not get here on time. This
will amount to closing the mill season
practically six months ahead of time.
The supply on hand at the local plant
Of the Southern Cotton Oil company
is in little better shape, though this
company already has been forced to
close number of plants in other sec
tions of the South.
The season opened here with the
price at 81 cents a bushel. Yesterday
the price was 1S cents.-The State.

! SCHOOL FOR the DEAF AND BLIND.
Supt. Walker Asks for SmaIi Ad-
ditional Appropriation for I'm
pr0Vement.

The State nperintendent of educa-
ton, Hon. O. 3. Martin, has just re-
ceived from Capt. n. T. Walker, super
intendent of the South Carolina Insti-
tuition for the Deaf. Dumb and Blind
at Cedar Springs, the 55th annual re-
port of the school. The institution is
now in good condition and has enroll
ed lSl pupils-121 deaf and 60 blind.
Fifty-f four of the scholars are colored.
An appropriation of S27, 900 is re-.
commended to be asked of the general
assembly and every penny, of the sum
can be we'll applied. Last year the
legislature gave the school S24. OO0.
The current expenses for the support
for the school year ending June 30.
1903, were S22, SOFAS. The receipts of
the Institution were s22, 49, OF from
appropriation for support, ETC., and
$500 from other sources. A balance on
hand July 1st of 1854. Sc brought the
sum to s23. 316. So.
OF the s27, which will be asked,
S24, 600 is for the support of the school
and is the same amount that was asked
for at the last session of the >legisla-
ture. Five hundred dollars is for the
barn and carriage house, $500 for
general repairs, $1,000 for laundry
and 81, 600 for water-tank, tower and
connections. The carriage house and
barn are now so dilapidated that they
are unsafe for use and a laundry is
practically a necessity. The water
supply in now maintained by means
of small wooden tanks located in the
attic of the main building. but these
are inadequate and are beginning to
leak and an appropriation for tank
and tower is asked.
The report made is purely for the
scholastic year. A report will be
made to the special legislature COM
mittee for the fiscal year.

COTTON MARKET EXCITED.
fluctuations Extremely Active in
New York Friday.

New York, Dec. AFTER a nights
reflection the crop report of yesterday
did not seem to appear any less bnllish
to the cotton trade. At any rate the
market opened firm and ruled very ac-

an advance of to % points with all
the months selling at new high record
prices for the season, on cables that
were even better than expected, re-
fecting a very bullish Interpretation
OF the Government crop estimates by
the English trade. Following the call
here there was tremendous covering
and bull support. and fluctuations
we're so extremely rapid and violent
that it was almost impossible to tell
whether the market was up or down
from one point to another. One of
the active months would be selling

and. taken altogether, it was one Of
the most erratic mornings of the sea.
son. sIt seemed for time at the open
ing as though offerings we're little too
heavy for the buying power, but be-
fore the trade fully realized that prices
were a shade under last nights finals
the market had rallied again to about
the opening prices.
All the morning the market was
very active and irregular. At the lowest
level which was reached just about
the end of the first half hour, January
sold at 81, March 45 and July at
II. 43, this being a net decline of 5al0
points, but the buying was very active
on the lower level and shotly after
the noon hour prices had been rallied
to 2.60 for January, IL. 73 for March,
l2.71 for May and 1855 for July.
Trading was perhaps a little less ac-
tive in the early afternoon, but the
undertone was exceedingly nervous and
unsettled.
Toward the close the market WAS
rather easier, with prices finally very
steady, net to points higher. Sales
were estimated at l, ,700, 900 bales.

The CRIME OF 4 PARDoNE0 NEGRO.
He Sets Fire to Property in
Greenwood, Causing Quite a
Blaze.
Special to The State.

Greenwood. Dec. 3.-Early yester-
day morning several frame buildings
back of row of brick stores on the
northeast of the public square were
destroyed by fire. The fire was the
work of one Robert Smith, negro.
who was only few days pardoned off
the chaingang by Gov. Hayward. It
was stated that Smith was almost dead
of consumption, but he seems to have
had vitality enough to commit crime
that may send him to the gallows.
The negro was sent up for assault and
battery. He had a fight with his
paramour, Nan Hawthorne, in which
he cut the Hawthorne woman severely
with a knife. This woman had a
negro resturantin one of the buildings
burned and the Smith negro set fire
to her restaurant building because she
would not let him in the house. The
woman heard him under the house
striking matches. Smith ran off when
she came out, and the fire was soon
discovered.

HANNA is HOT.
Comes Back From New York With
Blood in His Eye---Maority
Party Crisis.

Special to The State.
Washington, Dec 3.-WhetheI it is
to be peace or war between Senator
Hanna and President Roosevelt will
in all probability be determined by
an important conference which is
scheduled for the White House some
time tomorrow. Senator Hanna re-
turned from New York today with
large amount of bad blood in his eye.
He is sore all over and has not attempt
ed toconceal the fact from hisintimates.
He is sore over the way Bristow pick
ed out his close friends for criticism
in the postal scandal matter. He is
sore over the treatment of some Of
his friends at the hands of the Wood
investigation committee. And ihe is
specially sore over what he terms the
studious efforts being made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and administration
officials under his direction to turn
that investigation into whitewash.
Hanna and his friends are charging
that the president has interfered di-
rectly and indirectly to shape that re-
port of the military affairs committee
so that it will be favorable to Wood.
Tonight they are charging that they
have evidence of this One Of the wit
nesses who was summoned to appear
before the committees and tell what be
knows of the Runcie report was, it is
said, met upon his arrival by enc Of
the White House detectives who bore
him a cordial invitation to lunch
with the president They do not go
so far as to charge that the president
urged that witness to testify for
Wood, but they construe tie luncheon
invitation at this time and under the
circumstances it was conveyed as very
much like an effort to indirectly, if
not directly, influence the witness.
Taken in connection with their init
nations that most of the members of.
the committee have been induced by
favors at the hands of the war depart
men to pledge themselves to Woods
favor even before the testimony is all
in, they regard the presidents act as
an attempt at shaping the investiga-
tion in favor of his friend.
Now Senator Hanna has the cause of
Mai. Rathbone very much at heart.
His interest in that direction has lined
ulu up against NOOu duu u0 has uo-
come the power behind the prosecu-
tion. For several days be has been
compelled to be in Eew York and
while he was away a good many COM
plants about the way things we're
going have reached him.
They came at time when every man
he met was urging him to become a
candidate against Roosevelt, and per-
haps this fact has something to do
with putting fight into him.
Whether this phase of the present
political situation had anything to do
with his state of mind or not, the fact
is he came back sore all over with
President Roosevelt and his friends.
He has an engagement fora heart-to-
heat talk with the president tomorrow
and upon that talk many things may
hinge. 1t may mean a fight that will
bring a political upheava1. On the
other hand it is possible that the
president will be able to smooth things
over. It is certain he will try to do SO
unless the doing involves his desert
ing Gen. Wood.
