In conclusion Mr.. Hester says the
facts concerning this remarkable
year in cotton consumption speaks
for themselves, but it is safe to say
that had they been estimates instead
of plain unvarnished truths, even
extremists would have been justified
in chasing them as eXaggerations.
In the South, he says, I'VE have
brushed 100000 bales closely dur
ing the past year and this close on
the heels of the panic, with 215 out
of total of 7S6 active mills from
one to two months late in getting
under headway. Most of the new
not complete spindles will lie in
working order before the coming
years close and with these on the
basis of the 1904-05 consumption pe:'
spindle, the capacity of the South
ern mills will be something like
2,SOO,O 900 to $500, O,OO0."

wealthy financial kings and their ef-
forts to control Wall street. From
beginning to end, the play plustates
with life and the characteristic
strenuosity and hustle of today. 1t
is an American play and for the
most, deals exclusively with Ameri-
cans. Besides possessing a particu-
larly strong dramatic story, the plot
of which is both stirring and fasci-
mating ITO the ,extreme-it 1T has a
| comedy Establishment that, while be-
ing both sane and plausible, is one
of genuine laugh-making order.
Bronson Howard wrote many fine
plays, yet none OF them ever ap-
preached "The Henrietta" for eX-
cellency in either dramatic or come
dy episodes.
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson will be seen
in the role of hustlfng old multi
millionaire, who Is the recognized
controller of the famous Wall street
market. In the heavier dramatic
scenes-when others attempt to
wrest this control from him-he ris-
es to dramatic situations In a sur
prising manner And in the next
moment, he is all comedy-so it can
easily be seen what a wond derful
part is mis-. Needless to say that in
his hands, the character will be a
most delightful theatrical creation.
Mr.. William w. Jefferson will be
seen as "Bertie, the lamb" COM
ledy part Exclusively. Willie JEFF
ferson needs no introduction as a
fun-maker, for his ability as a COM
edian is unquestioned. In "The
Henrietta" he will be seen at his
best, which is quite enough said on
the subject.
The supporting company is of un-
usual ability and each Of the many
characters will be in the hands OF
an artist specially selected for his
part. Exceptional efficiency is the
only entire attraction.
The Jefferson company will pre-
sent "The Henrietta" in all its COM
pleteness at the Academy Of Music
Thursday night Of next week, the
18th instant.

They Were Made Happy.

On last Sunday afternoon three
negro couples in as many buggies
drove rapidly to the gate Of Mr.. G.
Marion Barton, who is a notary
public. The occupants of one Of the
buggies, after all three couples had
gotten out, asked Mr.. Barton to mar
ry them At this juncture the uncle
of the proposed bride, galloped up,
dismounted, and going to the steps,
called out that Mr.. Barton should
not perform the ceremony until he
could speak to him. When asked
why he objected, the uncle said be-
cause the girl was not old enough.
The bride claimed that her mother
said she was twenty-one, and when
the uncle admitted she was seven
teen, the notary quietly told him to
hold his tongue or retire. and in Il
few minutes made the anxious coup
le man and wife.

This speech is a valuable contri-
button to the history Of the dark and
stormy days before the State was
redeemed by the election of Gen.
Hampton in 1876. and we are sure
1t will be read with interest. On
account of its length we have divid-
ed the speech in three parts. In
our next issue we will publish the
Senator's account of the Hamburg

about the leaders of 1876. 1t is

Are There Any in This County?

An inquiry recently sent out
through the Laurens Advertiser re-
realed the fact that there were in
I.aurcns county four mothers of Con-
federate veterans still living. We
wonder if there are any in Orange
burg county. If SO, we should like
to have their names and few brief
facts about them. They are certain
ly deserving of special mention.
And along with the mothers too we
should like to have the name of the
father of any Confederate veteran,
who may be still living in the county.

Three Hundred and SiXty-six
Thousand Bales.
Supplementing his report on the
cotton crop for 190S-'O9, as issued
on August 81, Secretary Hester of
the New Orleans cotton exchange
Tuesday made a detailed report on
the crops of the different States
as follows:
Alabama, 1,42S,oOO, against L.
III, 900 last year.
Arkansas, 100000, against 7S7,-
900.
Florida, $4,000, against 10000.
Georgia 2,118,0O0, against L.
964,OOO.
Louisiana 4S5,ooo, against $751;
600.
Mississippi 1,67S,OOo, against L.

North Carolina 747,OOO, against
$4,000.

600.
Oklahoma 100000, against $780,
600.
Total crop 13, ,S25, 900, against H.
$4,000 last year.
He puts the spindles in the South
at 11,255,7S7, including old, idle
and not complete, against 1861
20S last year, an increase of 594,-
479.
Referring to the consumption by
American mills, Mr.. Hester says
that North and South they have a
season of unparalleled activity. In
no past year, he states, have they
consumed 40 much cotton, and phe-
nomenal as the extent of business
has been, it has not reached the
limit of their capacities.
The money value of the past COM
mercial crop, he states, is in round
figures s6S3,794,00O, showing that
while the number of bales market
ed was 2,243,OO0 bales more than
last year, the increase in money re-
ceived was but s11,509,O00, equiva-
lent to S5.11 per bale for the ex-
cess, and yet Mr.. Hester contends
that considering all circumstances
if ever crop was sold at good
round price it was the one under
review.
In the South Mr.. Hester makes
the consumption 366,596 more than
last year and 120,765 over the year
before last. Twenty-one new mills
are building in the Southern States,
and including additions to old estab-
lishments, 10000 new looms and
511,294 new spindles are under way.
The increase in the number of mills
over last year has been eight, max
ing a total of Sal.
