Selma, December 5.-(speciaD MT. Err nest Lamar, president of the Internation- al Cotton Seed Oil company estimates to- day that the net loss to the company from the fire of yesterday afternoon and night will be about $25.OOO, which may be re- duced considerably if consent of the in- surance companies can be gained to go to work in the attempt to save some of the seed which Is still burning on top.
 The company carried on the building and machinery $S5.00O insurance, and on the products of the mill s47,OO0 insurance. As only the warehouses and smaller ma chinery, such as conveyors, balers, presses, etc., were destroyed, the $S5000 will many times over cover the loss, which is roughly figured on at $30OoO. The books of the company show that there was on hand about $7O,000 wtrth of
