The receipts Of cotton there for the year

while the receipts for the twelve months

We are told that much Of this increase

A Card from Major Randolph.


To he Editor Of Tie Dispatch:
Your article in Sundays issue" South
ern Pensions aud the Soldiers Home VI
think requires an answer for the reason
that recognize in tx" a gentleman who
was a gallant artillery officer during the
war and noted for his charity since, except
to the Lee Camp Soldiers Home. This ILL.,
stitution he has not only refused TO have
ANYTHING to do with. but has never failed
to show his displeasure by asking ques-
tons through the papers and rather In
sinuatiDg that tho board were not doing
their duty.
think he is personally acquainted With
every man on the Board of Visitors. and
have offered personally to furnish him
with anv information he desired, begged
him TO Join Lee Camp and take some inter-
est in the Home. For some unaccountable
reason this institution has never met his
approval.
In the first place after the movement to
build the Soldiers Home was started by
Lee Camp this gentleman applied to the
Legislature for an Appropriation OF 900
to build q soldiers homo and named three
directors to be appointed by the State,
who Of course We're expected TO draw a
salary. When this movement failed he
solicited the aid of "A prominent general IN
Georgia to unite with him and have it
built at Charleston, S. G., claiming that
Richmond was not the proper place for 1t.
The Georgia general wanted the home
built at Atlanta, and Of course they did
not agree. Lee Camp stuck 70 It's original
intention, built the Soldiers Home, and
maintained il two years before asking Nlr-
gina for an appropriation. The Board Of
Visitors have given their time and ability
and not one cent of salary is paid 70 any
member of the board; il has been labor
OF love and duty TO take care of their I'M
fortunate comrades in arms.
If AZ" will not give his assistance IT Is
at least unbecoming to DO continually in
serting articles III the papers asking tor IN
formation that he can get from half q
dozen different gentlemen well-known to
him without troubling you for such infor-
nation az he asks for In SUNDAYS paper.
Why should he ask You il the board had
made a report when less than sixty days
ago the same information was given him
through the Stdtey
Why don't TX" sign his name and let
the community know who he Is Ii he
objects to me personally surely there are
other members OF the board who Will give
him all the information he desires. He has
shown on many occasions that this institu-
ton does not meet his approval, and as far
as have been informed he has never had
his foot inside the building.
dislike TO engage IN q controversy with
the Doctor, but do not think IT fair for
him TO pursue the course he has for the
past six years.
The Soldiers Home needs the moral and
substantial support of every man who
served in the Confederate army and those
who admire the fortitude and endurance
of the Confederate soldier.
Very respectfully.
N. V. RANDOLPH,
President Lee Camp Soldiers Home.

Macbeth's "pearl top" and
"pearl glass" lamp-chlmneys
do not break from heat, not
one in a hundred; they break
from accidents.
They are made of clear
glass as well as tough, as
clear as crystal. They fit the
lamps they are made for.
Shape controls the draft; they
are shaped right. Draft con-
tributes to proper combustion;
that makes light; they i'm
prove the light of a lamp.
But they cost a dealer three
times as much as common
chimneys, and, as they do not
break, he is apt to be anxious
lest they stop his trade. Di-
minished sales and less profit
are not agreeable to him.
There are two sides to the
question. Have a talkwith him.

The Coiored Men Of Texas.


NEW ORLEANS, September "A special
from Houston says: The Colored Mems
State Convention which met yesterday was
largely attended. about 800 being in at
tendance. Whatever was lacking In num-
bers was amply made up in point Of enthu-
siasn. The opening address OF Rev. J. Is.
Scott contained many points Of excellent
advice and thoughts OF intrinsic merit.
The election Of o temporary chairman re-
suited in the selection of J. =. Stewart. OF
Hearne, who made q long speech on accept
ing the honor conferred. In o scramble
for the temporary secretaryship Pro
lessor l.. l.. Simnonds was elected. A
committee on credentials was then APP
pointed and Rev. Ii. Watts addressed the
convention. He counselled conservatism
ana moderation in all the deliberations OF
the convention, and spoke OF the necessity
for more race pride before respect can be
demanded Of the white man, asserting
that the southern white man IS the friend
and not the enemy OF negro, and closed
by counselling the accumulation OF wealth
and the acquisition of practical knowledge
as prerequisites Of success.
