COLUMBIA, S. G., June 5, 1898.
At last, after long Whiting, the
Regiment is complete. and we have
definite orders TO move to Chick
amauga. Everyone, from the highest
officer to the lowest private. welcomes
this news with rejoicing, for, although
everything considered, VIC have spent
the time very pleasantly, still the men
came for war, not peace. and will not
bo satisfied until they are at the front
1t would shame some of the old vctc-
rams who have asserted that there was
no patriotism in the young men Of
to-day, compared with that Of the
young men Of the South previous to
the civil war, if they could be here in
camp. Why, every mothers son Of
them will fight, and every one that I
have heard speak Of the matter has
expressed tho greatest anxiety TO 20
the front.
The other day Capt. Ezra B. Fuller
called our attention to the fact that
the friends at home of the Georgia
volunteer forces were carrying out u
scheme which will be Of great benefit
to the Georgia Companies, and that is
a Company fund" We have already
started one ourselves by saving each
day that portion Of our allowance for
rations above tho wants Of the Com
pany. In this way quite L sum is
saved each week, which will go to-
wards increasing the Company fund"
for the purchase Of extras, sucl, US
fresh vegetables, eggs, etc. II has
been suggested that those Of tho
home folks who desire to contribute
to this fund. as the Georgia people
are doing, should be given the oppor-
tunity. All those who desire to do
40 may send their contributions to

Messrs. Latham, Alexander n Co.
one of the most reliable cotton firms
in Now York, has sent us a copy Of
their latest cotton circular, which
gives some interesting figures az to
.he cotton acreage. 1t shows that
the acreage in 1898 is 81, ,73G, 900 AZ
compared with 24,O0l 600 in 1897.
Every State shows decrease, the

lima, sovcn; Tennessee, eight. Texas.
six. Some Of this reduction in acreage
is no dout. due to the agitation on
tho subject last winter, but Latham,
Alexander & Co., explain it thus
"Our correspondents repor. that the
reduction in acreage has been brought
about by the lower prices Of cotton,
reluctance nf commission merchants
to make as liberal advances to the
planters az last year. in the face of
war, and the increase in acreage in
tabacco, Wheat aud corn. on account
Of the high prices of these commo-
aities.'

Both Indiana and Indianapolis have made
very material advancement during the

the rate of interest is but .. per cent.

fined mainly to government securities.
There were 6,453 ,597 depositors in the
Great Britain postal savings banks at

the century will close with over 800,

about one-half are in this country.
The cost of railroads all over the

Epton, who has the figures at hand, is

"All honor to the black troopers Of
the gallant Tenth No more striking
example sf bravery and GOODNESS has
been shown since the destruction
Of the Maine than by the colored
veterans of the Tenth Cavalry
during the attack upon Caney on
Saturday. BY the side of the intrepid
Rough Riders they followed their lead
er up the terrible hill from whose crest
the desperate SpaniArds poured down
a deadly fire of shell and musketry.
They never faltered. The rents in
their ranks were filed as soon IS made.
Firing al they marched, their aim was
splendid. their GOODNESS was superb and
their courage aroused the admiration
OF their comrades, their advance was
greeted with wild cheer from the white
regiments, and with an answering
shout they pressed onward over the
trenches they had taken close in pur-
suit of the retreating enemy. The war
has not shown greater heroism. The
men whose own freedom was baptized
with blood have proved themselves ca
pable of giving up their lives that 9TH
ers maybe free Today is a glorious
Fourth for all races of people in this
great land.
