THAT "CHRISTMAS PRESENT" OF
SENATOR HILLS.
To the Editor;

To the Editor:
GREENNILLE, \. c., Dec. 20.
Never in the history of the Ameri-
can Union has there been more re-
markable utterance than that of Sem
ator Hill upon the resolution to re-
lieye the eN-Confederate from the dis
ability of being loyal and true to the
convictions of honest, patriotic devo-
ton TO the South. For thirty years
there has been no war cloud to dis
turb the Federal Union, and for these
thirty years the brave men who wore
the gray have not been considered
worthy of the smallest Christmas gift
before the Xmas OF 1895.
Senator Hill has been a Senator dur
ing several Christmas festivities and
even he could not descend from the
high, patriotic stills to offer this little
right and privilege that every honor
able soldier of the Southern army
should have enjoyed by the free and
willing consent of every man worthy
10 be a Senator or Congressman of the
United States, and that Christmas
Gift would have come with some de-
gree of patriotism and justice. had
y
period after the surrender at
AppomattoX. What has the South done
since the last Christmas, or the many
that have passed, to entitle her brave
sons to this extraordinary spontaneous
utterance from the New York Senator,
and others. who were in sympathy
with those who wore the blue?
Is it possible that piece Of war
cloud, not so large as mans hand,
with Great Britain, has aroused the
sleepy sentiments of Justice in the
hearts Of our friends of the North E?
Is it possible that the Southern soldier
is worthy at this late day TO be allowed
to take mp arms in defence of the TN
ion? Heaven forbid that any South
ern man would dare accept the prof
fered gift under such circumstances.
If there has been nothing to transpire
in these long thirty years to entitle
the Southern soldier to an equal stand
ing as a Union soldier, then let us go
on i'm this probation until we are
worthy. and not because there is a
small crest of smoke seen in the wild
imagination of erratic Senator'S com
ing from Il QuiXotic campfire. The
South does not appreciate any such
Christmas offerings. The South is as
true and loyal to the Union as any
part of the Nation,and when the
rights of the Union are trampled upon,
the Southern soldier will be ready to
defend the stars and stripes, even to
the death, but the South does not re-
spect any such twaddle. If we are
not respected in time of prosperous
peace, we ask, nor will we accept, par
don on such terms, and coming in such
snobbish manner. The Senator is
evidently afraid of fight. The smell
of smoke from the late war must be
still strong in his patriotic nostrils.
The South has not forgotten the I'M
worthy attack of Senator Hill on that
honored son who wore the gray SEN
ator Morgan only short while since.
No, ! say emphatically, the South
is not asking such aims, and | trust
no man will accept such an offering.

FACTS ABOUT COTTON.

Latham. Alexander & Co.'S circular
letter of January 18th gives many facts
and figures bearing on the production
and price Of cotton. showing that the
total visible supply of cotton in the
world is 77s.602 bales less than in 1894,
and 3f9,257 bales less than in 1893.
The amount of cotton marketed of
this years crop is 2,o94,166 bales less
than last year, 57o,645 less than in
1894. and 145,263 more than in 1898.
The exports this year are 1,370,o91 less
than last year, 5S3,0s3 bales less than
in 1894. and 1870, 756 bales less than in
1898. The stock in United States
ports is 203,S59 bales less than last
wear. to6,1S2 bales less than in 1894,
and 50, 0s5 less than in 1898.
The price of cotton is now 259 cents
tearer than last year, OH dearer than
in 1894. and LOS cents cheaper than in
1893 for March contracts. The follow
ing additional facts have interest and
value:
The average percentage of the total
crop marketed by January LIST for the
past ten years has been 72.42 per cent,
and IL the 4.aS1,s5o bales that has come
into sight TO January should prove to
be 3a.42 of this crop, the actual total
crop for 1s95-'96 would be 6,S1o,o93
bales
our advices from all the Southern
States continue to report "A rapid ship
ment of cotton to market. and that
the amount remaining in the hands
of planters, is less than for many
years at like date.
Since November 30th. the date of
our last circular letter, the price of
cotton has declined about 60 points,
nearly half of which has beeen recov-
cred.
In face of the apprehension of war
with England, which caused panic
and heavy depreciation in securities of
all kinds, and other adverse influences,
we think the price Of cotton held up
remarkably well.
Nothing but n widespread opinion
that cotton was cheap at current
prices and the inherent strength of its
statistical position could have sup
ported it against the violent disturb
ances in the monetary world.
Holiday receipts were unexpectedly
large, and that alone might have in
duced more than half OF the decline
that occurred.
The holders Of cotton have cause to
congratulate themselves on the way
it has stood the storm, and now that
Americans far and wide have voiced
their endorsement of the Presidents
patriotic and dignified message, and
the recent scare in speculative and
financial circles seems to have been
without any adequate cause, the indi-
cations are that prices for cotton and
business generally will improve ma
terially with the new year.
