to* to the delirium of victory, and crowds
cf a thousand in a body marched through

,IC,S between gangs of drunken ward
eelers outside the polling places, but the
police were at the scenes of (disturbances

mously republican, a* seven republicans

age republican majority In a total vote

test the election on the ground that the
anti-fusion law Is a violation of the consti
tution of the United States.

gents of the university, Roger W. But

COTTON IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

tlie Great Fulling OR In the Amount
of Fertiliser* 1 ed—The Recent
Advance In the Price of the Staple
Tempting Many Farmer* to Plant
More largrl) Than They tit Ftral
Intended.
Charleston, S. C.. April 2.—The News
and Courier will print to-morrow reports
from nearly all the counties in South Caro
lina giving ait estimate of the acreage de
voted to cotton cultivation In the state
this year. It is generally stated that there
will be a reduction in the acreage de
voted to cotton. The estimates vary wide
ly. In' some counties it will probably
amount to 50 per cent., in others the re
duction will not exceed 10 per cent.; 25
per cent, would probably be a fair esti
mate for the state at large.
But whatever the reduction in the acre
age, It is certain that there will be a
large decrease in production. The reports
from all the counties agree that there will
be a large reduction in the use of com
mercial fertilisers. In Aiken county for
example, it is reported that there will be
a reduction of 25 per cent, in acreage and
30 ih?r cent, in the use of fertilizers; in
Anderson county 16 per cent, less cotton
will be planted and 20 per cent, leas fer
tilizers will be used; In Newberry county,
there will be 20 per cent, less cotton planted
•Mid 4o per cent, less fertilizers used. In
Kershaw county It ia reported that there
will be a slight increase In the cotton
acreage ;.nd a greatly decreased produc
tion of cotton because of the falling off
in the use of fertilizers.
Commenting on the reports of its cor
respondents, the News and Courier will
say; "The recent rise in the price of
cotton is having the expected effect on
the many good resolutions made by the
farmers two or three months ago that
they would greatly reduce the acreage
of the new crop. Our Greenville corre
spondent says that alxty days ago il
would have been sate to say that there
would be a reduction of 50 per cent, in the
cotton acreage in the county but cotton
has advanced in price, and the old song
is being sung that cotton is the only thing
that will pay debts. - The result is that In
stead of reducing the 'cotton acreage 50
per cent, the reduction will not nmount
to more than 10 or 15 per cent. In Green
ville county, and If the speculators would
raise the prices a few more points and
keep the market 'active with an Increas
ing demand for spot cotton' until the
planting season Is well over, we should
not be surprised If the acreage will be
larger than that of last year.”

COLVIN'S FIGHT ON THE BONUS.
The Case Pretty Sure to Be Brought
Before tlie Courts Again.
Jacksonville. Fla , April 2.—The city of
Jacksonville has undoubtedly 1 won a vic
tory In the matter of the decision reached
yesterday by the United Btate supreme
court In Ihe Colvin anti-bonding vault
for, by the terms of the city’s contract
with W. N. Color * Cos. of New York,
that firm must, adj’anee the cash, the re
maining $750,000, on the $1,000,000 In bonds
now held by It "as soon as a faVorablo
decision Is reached by the United States
court.’’ But as n matter of fart the mer
its of the case have not been passed upon.
There are rumors that new suits will he
Instituted at once hy the opponents of the
present city government. If so, these may
prevent the brokers from selling the
bonds, but they will be compelled to make
the advance upon them.
When asked this morning If new suits
would be Instituted Col. Horatio Blsbec.
attorney for Col. Colvin said: ’T have
not had time yet to consult with iny
client.”
"Colonel, there is some talk, perhaps
silly, that you have no further chance for
renewing them"
"That Is too absurd *o think about.
The decision was merely on a techni
cality. and thero are plenty of grounds
yet to fight ilpon.’’
"There Is a report that yon neglected
to comply with the rule of the ,United
States supreme court In filing the ccrtlrt
oato of Jurisdiction from the lower
court?”
“It was not my fault at all. I asked
Judge Locke of the circuit, court of the
Southern district of Florida, from whose
Judgment I appealed, for the certificate,
and he said it was not at all necessary. *’
8o It would seem as If the merits of tho
rase have not been even considered by
the supreme court at all. Col. Bisbee is
exceedingly busy Just at this time with
cases in the United States court, now in
session in this city, and Col. Colvin is
abeent from the city.

DEAF ri PIU6 IN THE SCHOOL*.
Supi. linker Interested in Their lle
hnlf. ,
Superintendent Baker of tho public
schools was seen yesterday hy a Morning
News reporter In reference to tho article
which appeared In the Morning News on
the subject of the treatment of parti
ally deaf children In the schools and the
necessity of teachers being on the out
look Tor such cases. In order that n
child may not be unjustly classed as
dull, who la only suffering from a natural
defect.
"I read the article with a great deal
of Interest," said Mr. Baker. "While 1
have known that occasionally a deaf pu
pil la found In tho schools I had never
studied the subject on the line Indicated
In your article. I have no doubt that
there are u number of children In tho
schools who are affected with partial
deafness, but whose complaint la unknown
to the teachers and the pupils are un
justly classed as dull, when tho reverse
may be the case. It la true that a good
teacher should detect euoh cases And
lake pains to find out whether the dull
ness of the pupil la due to a lack of Intel
ligence or lo u natural defect.
"This Idea of deafness us a source of
dullness," said Mr. Baker, "has probably
never occurred to a majority of the
teachers. Hud again. In a large elass, the
teacher naturally expects to find h cer
tain percentage of -lull pupils. 1 hope
every teacher In the public schools read
the article, and that they will lake pains
to find out If any such cases exist. 1 do
not think that there are enough of such
cases In the schools lo --all for a special
classification anti a different mode of
teaching, but w here a teacher finds am It
a pupil she should take special palna lo
see that that child Is made to under
stand us well aa the rest of tho class
what la being taught."
"I do not think (here la any such preva
lence of deafness among children as Is
supposed In the article,” said Principal
O’Hara of Bt. Patrick's school. "I have
one -leaf pupil In my class, and I always
give hltn a place near me, where he can
hear and understand what Is said. He
la not entirely deaf, of course.''
Health Officer Brunner, to whom the
subject was mentioned, threw out a valu
able pointer on the subject: "You can al
ways tell a deaf person," he suld, “by
their manner of speaking and acting. A
person who Is deaf or partially deaf will
always speak in a tone of voice lower
than the ordinary tone. They do this In
stinctively for fear that by apeaklng too
loud they will be suspected of deafness.
They speak In a low tone of voire in ord
er to conceal their defect. The face of
a deaf person has a dull and inexpressive
look because being tumble to catch the
sounds of voices and movements around
them their senses do not respond lo them.
A little study on this line will enable al
most anyone to detect even slightly deaf
persons easily."
