THE COMING CONFEDERATE
REUNION.

Charleston is the ideal city for the
gathering of the old ConfederatCs, II
Il the most purely Southern city IN tho
south While it has grown in every
Charleston has preserved the Southern
sentiment and chung 10 tna ol idols aud
ideals Of the Old Sou,h rs no other great
city. In its homes are fpunt. the s1mr
tnres and pcnates thas head first place
in 1860 and the chivalry Of the old
time Southcrncr is there seen unchanged
Ivy the rush and hurry of these latter
days. The city has gone forward in
all ways that make FOR material prog
ross without losing one ota of the civili
aation that made il the centre of cnl-
turc apd political thought before the civil
war
Amid the traditions and historical
scenes that make Charleston famous
enjoying its elegant hospitality and
basking in its ardent faith in the South
crn cause, on the soil of the State that
fired the first shot in the cause of
Southern independence, the Confederate
soldier will live over again the scenes
and hopes that animated him in 1861.
Other cities have given warm and hos
ptable welcome. Charleston will not
he lacking in these respects, and will
dispense it's hospitality with a feeling of
comradeship and affection for the wearer
of the gray that has not been so deep
rooted in all the cities where the re-
unions have been held
The preparations for the reunion have
been made on large scale. a model
Auditorium has been constructed and
every arrangement that could make the
occasion historic has been completed.
The old soldiers and their children, and
friends of North Carolina will be pres
cnt in large numbers. The indications are
that more North Carolinans will grace
the occasion than at any previous re-
union. This is as it should be. The
Carolnas are sisters and in preserving
the best type of ante-belldm Southern
civilization. Charleston is a city of which
the whole South is proud.

WELCOME TO COMPANY X

Company X will receive. as it deserves
to receive, at its homecoming today a
most cordial welcome from the city of
Raleigh
All North Carolina is proud of the
First regiment and Raleigh shares with
the whole State the States pride in the
regiment pride in its officers and in
its men, in its soldierly qualities and in
its record for doing well and willingly
whatever duty was assigned to it.
But Company K-that is Raleigh 5
own. In the corps there was no finer
body of men than the First regiment,
North Carolina Volunteers: in the First
regiment there was no finer company
than Company II.
When the company left, the reasonable
expectation was that many members of
it would not return for it was expected
that it was going to figh. those who were
then the enemies of its country That
it should have turned cut otherwise,
that the lives offered should not have
been required to end the struggle, and
that the soldier shoa'd be returned to
take up the duties of the citizen, is mat
ter of sincere rejoicing. That The m
pany was not called on To fight de-
tracts no whit from The credit that IS
due it, for there are things in the so
dier's life more trying than battles

and in the midst of alien conditions, The
wear of waiting, these III: mel have
borne with accomplishing fortitude.
They have kept straight the record of
the Tarheel solder-the man who never
falters and never disobeys.
1t is with especial pleasure that we
print today Mr. w. Z. Christians ac-
count of how the company bore itself in
Cuba and the very, appropriate "Wel-
come to the Volunteers" In behalf If

SQUARE AND ROUND COTTON
BALES.

- h r.
Since the announcement of the inyen-
bales its promoters have claimed that
under their process cotton brought Il
higher price in the market and could be
Skinned for less than is charged for the
square bales. The following communica-
ton in Yesterdays Charleston News and
Courier, which explains itself, is evil
dcnce from a high Source that the claims
made for the rounl bale nave not ma
teralized:
To the Editor: Our attention has been
drawn today, for the first time, to Mr..
Searles' letter III y0ur paper, dated New
York. April II. The statement made 10y
us, to which he refers, was written to
one Of our correspondents, or agents.
and was not intended for publications.
We do not desire Il newspaper contro-
yersy as to the comparative merits of
the so-called round bale, and the stand
ard 24x54 square, or rectangular bale.
Since we have been quoted publicly.
however. we wish YOU to stare that our
information came from n cotton mer-
chant of the highest character III Liver
pool. Mr. John Milligan, No. Rum
ford street that the cylindrical bale
had been sold overs the counter in Iiv-
erpcol at less price than the standard
square bale 2ix54.
We may add, that we have since re-
ceiyed information from several CONT
mental correspondents to the same effect
with reference to Bremen sales. We
know nothing of the terms. under which
these sales were. executed: we simDly
made the statement. as it came to us
from responsible people.
As to our claim that we can nut more
weight of the compressed standard
square bale, 24x54. into ship to the net
ton register than it is possible to put in
round bales, we are willing TO test il in
our next steamer fot Liverpool by meas
ured space and to afford the contestants
every facility for fair play.
