II. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.

 NEW ORLEANS, June 25.-The continued absence of rain in Texas influenced Liverpool favorably ani market responded by open ing 669 points higher on near and 495 points on late months. Late cables from London were very gloomy as to the recovery of tke King and subsequently, occasioned break of 2 e74 points. Later. however 1t was ascertained that it was partly cloudy some part of the cotton belt. but no rain had fallen ex- cept in the extreme northeast portion and the prediction for Texas tonight and Thursday was for generally fair weather. This infor- nation led to buying movement and a re- action of 89lo points from the bottom was esta abiished Realizing near the close again occasioned easiness. making the net gain of the day points on July, l. 3 on August and 8 6e on the new crop months. The absence of re.ns in Texas for a week or ten days more will cause much apprehension as to the final outturn of that State and were it not for the fear that King Edward may die and unsettled nnancer and business generally the proba- bility is that investors might be attracted to the new crop positions.

Monday to the Atlanta Journal: Lieu
tenant General Miles Is to be retired
this week. General John r. Brooke
will probably be his immediate sue
cessor; but will hold the distinction of
being the head Of the army for few
months only, since he Is nearly 64, the
age for regulation retirement. After
Brooke, General Leonard Wood, army
officers say, will be given the place by
Roosevelt. The immediate retirement
of Miles has been definitely decided
upon by the president, who has an
nounced his decision to several callers.
Miles is only g.; but the president has
the power to retire him when he
pleases. He will exercise that power
now because Miles is opposed to the
Administrators war plans and Is not
on speaking terms with the president
or the secretary of war. Miles friends
have been disposed to kick against his
compulsory retirement; but the other
side has dug up and published the fact
that Miles friends had General Ord re-
tired by President Hayes in order to
get Miles advanced, and no further
kicks are expected. 1t is a case of
giving the lieutenant general dose
of his own medicine.

ESTIMATES OF HAMPTON.
What Leading South CarOlinians
Thought of the Old Hero.

What Leading South CarOlinians
Thought Of the Old Hero.
Senator Tillman: The death Of Cen
eral Hampton will be very much re-
gretted in our state. He was one of the
ablest of our more recent men, and In
the regard and respect of the people
he ranked with Calhoun, McDuffie and
Hayne. They loved him much. He had
reached ripe old age. and, of course,
his death was not surprise"
Senator McLaurin: Wade Hampton
was one Of the greatest men of his
state, and Of the south. Whatever his
military achievements were, his work
in the redemption Of the state In 1876
and it's restoration to white supremacy
was much greater"
Congressman Latimer: I'm Wade
Hampton's death, South Carolina has
lost her foremost and best beloved cit
izen. South Carolinians will never
cease to venerate his memory"
Ex-Governor Hugh S. Thompson:
In the United States senate he acquir-
ed wonderful influence. 1t was re-
marked by one who was in position
to know of what he spoke, that Hamp-
ton had more influence in the senate
than any other man. While the two
parties would divide strictly on party
questions, Hampton could on non-par-
tisan questions command more Repub-
lican votes than any other Democrat.
His brother senators respected his
high character, his judgment and his
patriotism, and they were always glad
when party affiliation permitted them
to follow him in any measure. Shortly
before his term in the senate ended he
made a speech upon the then exciting
question of the day-the force bill.
The speech was delivered late at
night during one Of the long sessions
of the senate, while there were but few
auditors in the gallery; but it made a
profound impression upon all who
heard it. At the close, Senator Plumb,
of Kansas, one of the strongest Repub-
lican partisans, shook him warmly by
the hand and said: General Hamp-
ton, whatever may happen to you in
the future, remember that after that
speech I am always your friend"

Taxing the OctOpuses.

Anderson special to Spartanburg
Herald: The Standard Oil company has
secured from Judge Gage, in the cir
cult court in Greenville, a temporary in
junction restraining the Anderson city
council from attempting to collect the
$3.50 license tax imposed by the council
some months ago upon wholesale
dealers in Illuminating oils" The in
junction was granted by Judge Gage
on the 7th instant, and the papers were
sent to Sheriff Green yesterday and
served on Mayor Tolly late yesterday
afternoon. In December last the city
council, in passing the supply ordi-
nance for the current year, levied IL
cenSe tax upon persons engaged in GER
tain kinds of business. This license
tax was not made general-that is, all
kinds of business were not made sub
ject to the liccnse-but only half doZ-
en- or so avocations were taxed. Rail-
roads were taxed S75 each; telegraph
and express companies $50 each; and
wholesale dealers in Illuminating
oils were taxed $3.50 each. The rail-
roads and Southern Express company
have paid the tax, but 1t was only af-
ter a good deal of delay in CORES
pondence that they did so. The Stand
ard Oil company and the Western Un-
ion Telegraph companies have not yet
paid. 1t develops now that the Stand
ard Oil company does not intend to pay
without fight, and as the first step
has secured temporary injunction re-
straining the council from attempting
to collect the tax. The council has 20
days in which to make answer to the
complaint. Mayor Tolly is confident
the city will win out in the courts. The
legal aspect of the case was thorough
ly considered before the ordinance was
passed. Cary Mccullough & McSwain,
of Greenville, represent the oil compa-
ny. The case will have an interest for
Spartanburg people for the reason that
Spartanburg has imposed license of
the same kind: in fact the Anderson
ordinance is almost an exact copy of
that of Spartanpurg.

Wade HanDtOn.

The death of Wade Hampton re.
moves from the arena of his trials
disappointments, aspirations and sue
cesses, a man who was easily the lead.
ing South Carolinian of his day, and
very probably the greatest citizen the
state has ever produced.
From early manhood Wade Hampton
was man, if not exactly Of, most GER
tainly for. the people. Notwithstand-
ing the inherited possession of great
wealth and high position that would
have enabled him to live a life Of sell
fish ease and luxury, he made the well
fare of his fellow-man the chief aim
of his existence, and to this end, at all
times, stood ready to eXpend the last
cent of his treasure and the last drop
of his blood.
1t is not recorded that Wade Hamp-
ton was ever opposed to the slavery
system: but ii is a fact that he early
ran counter to the sentiment of the
general assembly by a strenuous fight
against proposition to revive the slave
trade. He was a strong Union man and
voted in the secession convention
against secession; but when the ordi-

SENATOR John L. McLaurin spoke
Monday against the pending Chinese
exclusion bill. He thinks the measure
is unnecessarily drastic and calcula-
ted to work much harm without being
one bit more effective than the pres
ent law in accomplishing the results
desired. He also holds it to be in VIC.
lation of solemn treaty obligations. He
hopes that the pending bill will be kill
ed, and that the Geary law, which is
entirely satisfactory, be not interferre6
with at least until after its force shall
have expired by limitation. Other.
wise, he is apprehensive that the cot
ton interests of the south will suffer Sc.
riously. The senate is to vote on the
pending bill today wednesday,.

CONDITIONS AT THE DAM.

II am inclined to think that you did
not gather very comprehensive idea
Of the situation at the Catawba Pow
er company, from what I told you re-
Gently" said Magistrate R. M. Ander-
son to the reporter on Monday.
1T has been a rough place, it is true,
and it is rough yet; but it has improv-
ed very considerably as compared with
what it was under conditions as they
existed formerly. 1t used to be that
the management paid no attention
whatever to the conduct Of the labor
ers except while they were at work.
That was while the work was being
done by contract. Now that the Power
company has entire charge of opera
tions, it is fair to say that the manage
ment Is making every reasonable effort
to make the Negroes behave them
selves.
1.-The knot that I told you about did
not refer to the whole locality: but on
ly to the Negro quarters. The Negro
quarters are referred to as the knot
just as the space within the Golfer dam
Is known as the hole But there is
no mistake about the knot being a
tough place. It Is about as tough a
place as you ever saw-so tough in fact
that the management has considered
1t advisable to scatter the shacks all
over the vicinity rather than allow
them to remain huddled up in one place.
Of late, Superintendent Briggs has
commenced system of assigning each
Negro to a particular shack and bunk,
all numbered to correspond, and by
this arrangement it Is hoped to keep a
better grasp Of the situation. -.
Most of the trouble that has occur
red at the dam up to this time, has
been due to blind tiger liquor and low
down women. The whisky dealers in
neighboring towns have been making
it point to learn when pay day would
occur, and be on hand in the woods
when the Negroes got their money. AS
the result, the following Sunday would
be made hideous. This thing still goes
on to a greater or less extent; but ow-
ing to the efforts Of Mr.. Wylie, 1t Is
not nearly so bad as it was and con-
ditions continue to improve.
Recently, at the request Of the
management of the Power company,
men who work in the vicinity have
been especially deputized to make ar
rests when necessary, and whenever
there Is any disorder, an effort Is made
to nip it in the bud then and there. It
is due to the present management to
say that every effort Is being made to
maintain good order. and there is rea-
son to believe that all grounds for COM
plant on this score will have soon dis
appeared"
