Thirteen hundred Bs'es ,hippe4 to

Bishopville, Sumter County, Septem-
ber 13.-The people OF this section
would be glad to know why Whining
ton can pay better prices for cotton than
Charleston, when the freight to the lat
ter city should be Fighter.
Agents of two Wilmington houses are
paying 6 cents for middling ON the
street today, while the representatives
Of Charleston firms are limited TO $50
for the same grade OF cotton. Why is
this?
The chamber of comerce and Young
Mems Business League of your city
would do we'll to look into the matter,
or the entire cotton business of this Sec
ton will pass TO other markets.
Thirteen hundred bales have already
been shipped 10 Wilmington from this
place. and not one bale 10 our own me
tropolis. And this state of things Is
more than apt 10 continue until there
Is a competing line OF railroad 70 this
place. We are in the hands OF the At

fort to secure the trade Of this and the

Cotton is coming in rapidly, in transit

bers Of women and children behind them.
among whom our troops discovered many
sisters. mothers, and even former wives.
The woman question soon became
serious one. The Mahometan law allows
man a plurality of wives; our men had
not seen their families for months, and
were anxious TO form new ties; many
women had died at Assouan and Halfa
in the cholera epidemic, and there were
corresponding widowers in our ranks ripe
for consolation. SO, wisely enough, men,
under certain conditions, were allowed to
marry and soon little villages sprang up
round all the cantonments The men who
had permission took unto themselves their
dusky brides. and In many cases adopted
the small Dcrvish children and all went
merry as a marriage bell. The little viii
lagos built OF dried grass or mud, were
kept scrupulously clean; military police
were made responsible for order; and the
most prominent lady was elected Shekha,
and with the assistance of the oldest nom
commissioned officer and some black COM
missioned officer settled all disputes; and
never were there more orderly, law-abld-
ing communities. When the troops left
the DonEola province for further opera
lions south, the grass widows were sent
down 20 Wad I1alfa to Join the other
families, and 1t is TO be hoped that by
now all have been happily reunited at
Fashoda. Khartoum or wherever the
bread winner may happen to be stationed
! mention all this because ones thoughts
cannot help turning to Uganda and to
poor ThTuston whom we all knew and
liked SO much; and with the opening up
of a vast black empire and the employ
ment Of numbers of black troops, | think
that a word in season is not amiss, and
that q useful moral may he deduced as to
the great secret of dealing with black
troops. Respect his one great weakness
give him a wife and family and home
life. and he is the most genial, contented,
costly managed being In the world; deny
him this, and he rapidly becomes restless
and disconnected spends his leisure In
wandering about In search OF adventures,
brawls and ioots in the villages, and gives
endless trouble
Some of our blacks were very good
shots, but the majority were below the
average of English soldiers. and the
Egyptians were not such good shots as the
blacks
At the battle of Firket a company Of
camel corps were lining ridge of rocks.
with a corresponding ridge held by the
Dervshes some three or four hundred
yards to their front; a black sergeant
named Capsoon had found sort of nat
ural embrasure I'm these rocks. and, call
ing an English officers attention TO his
prowess he shot down Dervish after Der
wish as he showed himself The company
then charged the Dervish position and
cleared them out, and the fruit of Cap
soons skill al arms stood revealed; his
bag was nearly dozen killed dead. This
almost equals what one has heard Of Boer
craftsmanship.
