Sleeper or Chair Car From Greenyille
to Birmingham.
Mr.. w. H. Hays, Greenwood, MissS
Dear Sir: In response to your re-
quest in favor of the goth, I immed-
lately took the matter of Sleeping Car
for Southern up with Mr. Taylor,
President Harrison, and Mr.. Wise.
After sending these letters I called
on Mr.. J. L. Cox, A. G. P. A., and had
lengthy conservation with him rela-
tive to the proposition. Mr.. Cox tells
me that the matter will certainly have
attention and that either a satisfactory
sleeping car Of chair car with porter
service, toilet conveniences, ETC., will
be put on this run in the near future.
Mr.. Cox explained that the road
wishes to put on a through sleeper
from Greenville to Atlanta but the
trouble about doing this is a four hour
lay over at Birmingham. This lay
over can not be overcome unless local
schedule between Birmingham and At
lanta is changed, he says, the present
schedule is SO satisfactory they dislike
to change it. If the through sleeper
to Atlanta is not. put on, he assures
me that a first class chair car to
Birmingham will be installed and he
guarantees that none Of us will be
ashamed Of the chair car, or the SER
vice. .5t n
From your letter I Judge that either
arrangement as above will be salts
factory and from my conversation
with Mr.. Cox ! gather that the sleeper
to Atlanta is more likely to be decided
on than the chair car, Personally, |
would rather see the through sleeper

opened irregular. January II up as
only 400 notices were out, while New
York opened 20 down on tenders es-
timated at as high as 10000 bales;
but the quick advance in New York
January of 40 points shows that ten
ders were promptly taken, as was to
be expected on the large discount un-
der spot prices in the south and the
large premium on later positions.
Advices from New York said that spot
houses were buyers Of January. The
acceptance of January te nders was
the best way to get large quantity
of cotton, particularly at one price.
March opened ten points up but cold
off on the call, and the market con-
tinued nervous and irregular during
the first hour, fiuctuation rapidly
within q range Of 90 points. Short
covering in thswake Of the sharp ad-
vance on last Saturday and on the
strength Of developments with Janu-
ary notices; in short, technical condi-
tions caused the rallies, while political
news prompted the selling. Express
sions Of opinions from Allied capitals
is rather against compliance with the
Presidents request for peace terms,
but the news which gave the trade
most to think Of was the drastic order
issued by the British government for
bidding the publication Of shipping re.
ports which it is feared will result in
further serious disturbance to shipp7
ing, as no news Of the arrival or de- |
parture Of steamers will be allowed )
and the arrival Of goods cannot be
timed. Information from shipping
offices here and in Galveston is to the
effect that . great deal Of cotton is
booked to clear during January and
some believe that shipping will be bet
;er regulated since the British govern 4
nent has taken 1t over. Another
piece of news that provided food for
thought was that the British govern
nent intends to import at once three
million bushels Of grain. It is feared
hat this will cause another advance
n food prices in this country and alb
'orb most of the available tonnage.

ART or GIVING.

Ordinary business sense would seem
to compel the verdict that about the
best activity in the world is the get
ting Of things. Business consists chief.
" In the art Of getting and holding.
And yet the greatest authority on
human life puts the value Of giving
above that Of getting. Jesus said: 1T
10 more blessed to give than to re.
ceive." Every wise business man or.
ganizes the receiving department Of
his business. But the giving depart
ment Of the average American 10
wholly unorganized. Comparatively
few men know or plan at the begin
ming Of year how much they will give
during this year. With such men Civ.
ing waits upon solicitation. The man
on the street who begs the price Of a
meal, the man In the pulpit who pleads
the need Of the heather, the begging
letters coming through the mails, all
tumble at the purse strings Of the IN.
organized man until he often gives
from pure irritation. Yet the man
who thus spasmodically dispenses his
charities is rarely either a great sue
cess as 4 siver or much Of a beneficiary
Of his own giving, says Minneapolis
Journal. The distribution Of his gifts
usually is disproportionate to the
worth Of the cause. nor does he often
give in the total as much as the man
who wisely planned his giving before
hand. A sound head may safely Join
In with q warm heart In the art Of !
giving. The giver who gives by q
settled plan. carefully and heartily |
rarely has reason to regret |
having given too much.
