ever we may sympathize with Gen
Evans we must remember in these wal
times that 1t Is the duty Of the soldier
to obey without question.
There seems to be so little prospect
Of the Yankees running the gauntlet OF
our batteries at least for sometime, our
two regiments. 1st and 9Th, are clam
oring to go home, to SOW their wheat
and indeed they are warmly seconded
by the Charlestonians, who also seem
to look upon them as intruders. In
one sense at least some Of us are, fol
several companies who were quartered
in stores with no conveniences, have
taken possession Of better quarters
sans ceremonie. Capt. Lowry's COM
pany OBJ anticipating a frost, have
moved into a fine three story residence

little nettled to find us there, but he
made no fuss, and with urbanity OF
manners that always distinguished DR.
Henry R. Frost, he handed over the
keys with q request that his walls
would not be soiled or his property 9TH

course and for the good name Of old
York will doubtless be fully compiled

our example, though Capt. Bowen's
company (K) still remains in expect

The late conscription Of Col. Melton
was quite an interesting topic among
Us for day or two, but the secretary

We do not know how the many
young men in the country avoid doing
military duty, but we do think that If

beds Of down would reflect on the hard
pallet or coarse fare which Is the SOL

to turn away from them the wrath that
must follow II they persist in their evil
ways. Aside from this view they should
remember that a time OF reckoning

the soldiers will assuredly return.
The health Of the city is very good;
that Of the soldiers better than could
have been expected from the change Of
habits, water and ease to which mid

This is the Sabbath and the greatest
quiet prevails throughout the beleagur-

no longer heard, warning the worship

the bells have long since changed
their tunes from those Of peace to
grim visaged war" The stores in
the city are generally closed, while
those that are open contain but few
necessities at fabulous prices. Cook
ing utensils are particularly scarce,
while those persons who are remov-

a great many families remaining here,
who probably have not the means to
remove, or If they should, God only
knows what would become Of them,

 in Present Form

Washington. January 1.-When Con- gross meets tomorrow after the New Years holiday. the paramount subject up for consideration will be the imm' grafton bill pending in the Senate. Sem ate leaders purpose to bring the meas ure to a vote before adjournment and expect that it will be passed with the literacy test retained.
 Strong indications came from the White House today that President Will son would veto the bill if passed In its present form. President Taft vetoed a similar measure in 1913 because or the literaow test. The Senate passed the bill over the veto, but in the House the motion to repass failed. The bill champions predict that 1t can be passed this time in both Houses over a veto. The vote of 47 to 12 in the Senate yes terday against eliminating the iiteracy test which President Wilson opposes generally was accepted as test vote.

Rome, December 31-(8:10 p. m.. delayed.) The American note to Great Britain pro- testing against the interference with American merchantmen has produced an excellent impression here. not only be- cause it may tend to avert exactly the sarne difficulties encountered by Italian commerce but also because 1t Is hoped 1t may lead to more concrete set o. international rules protecting the com merce of neutrals in their rights, while st.ll safeguarding the rights of belliger- ents.
 The American ambassador here is work ing to secure an ameliorauon of condi- tions interfering with American commerce Feeling that the interests of America and Italy are in unison in that matter. he has used every effort to relieve the situation.

ment that England is fighting what she believes to be life and death strug- gle, 1t was pointed out, was fully rec cgnized in the American note but it was contended that delays and deten- tions exceeded the manifest necessity of belligerent.
 The general belief in Washington is that common ground will be reached in future diplomatic correspondence whereby definite arrangements will be put into effect to relieve American ex- porters of uncertainty.
 London, January l-t7:1o D. m.) The Saturday Review describes Pres ident Wilson's note as a document from candid friend who, just because he Is friend. can say things which be- tween strangers would be regarded as having too rough an edge. The Re- view does not think 1t should be inn possible for two governments who have no wish to find causes for taking the offensive to reconcile their conflict in points of view.
 The position of a belligerent with respect to the sea, says this paper, is different, even when neutral govern- ments are friends. But this position is determined absolutely by the fact that England has that command of the sea and cannot surrender her right. to use # for.

 The ambassador detailed British press criticism. whose tone he regard ed as on the whole reasonable and amicable. In some quarters. not among officials, he found disposition to search for a motive behind the Amer ican note. some Englishmen suggest ing that Washington had been com pelled to yield to pressure from mem bers of Congress representing constit : uencies affected by trade interruptions. This portion of English public opinion seemed to think the American note was intended to some extent for home consumption.
 Washington officials pointed out to- night that there was not the slight est foundation for such a suggestion as the note was not originally intend- ed for the press. It is understood that Ambassador Page had anticipated mis- taken impressions by assuring the Brit ish government informally that the United States was thoroughly Tn earn est.

 Incidentally the ambassador cabled that the British government had cor rected English newspaper reports which spoke of discourtesy in lre- mature publication. MT.

 GENERAL REVIVAL OF
 BUSINESS IN SOUTH
Says Effect of War on In- dustries Is Only Tenn porary and Tlat Conii-
 tions Will Improve

Washington, January 1.-Fairfax liar rison, president of the Southern railway declared today that the wars effect or business conditions in the south was proving only temporary; said demand fol cotton was growing and predicted ;t gen. eral revival of business.
 'The world must have cotton" he said "The demand both for export and for American mills Is increasing, and there has been a substantial advance in prices since the low point when the depression was at it's worst. With larger move ment of cotton there will come an in- creased demand for merchandise of all kinds in the south and a general revival of business.
 Southern farmers are meeting the sit uation confronting them by planning tc reduce the acreage of cotton planted in 1915 and to devote the land thus released from cotton to other crops, and to live stock. Statistics of the United States de- partment of agriculture and reports of the agricultural agents of the Southern Rail way company show substantial inc, eases in the acreage planted in fall grains In every Southern state, and the prospects are that a larger acreage of corn will be planted in the spring.
 with smaller crop of cotton, south ern farmers will be assured of a better price for the crop of 1915, and for that part of the crop of 1914 which must be carried over. and with q large production of grain they will profit from the inevi- table European demand, resulting from the withdrawal of millions of men and draft animals from agriculture in the countries which are at war;
 Mir Harrison added that many southern manufacturers realized opportunities for export business growing out of the war and that reports indicated they were taking intelligent steps to secure a share of. their trade"
