THE HAMPTON MONUMENT.
The committee appointed to rais(
Newberry's share of the fund foi
the erection of a monument to per
petuate the memory of General
Wade Hampton has issued an ad
dress which appears in another col
umn. No further appeal should be
necessary. A few months ago we
loudly mourned Hampton's death.
Special trains were run to his fun
eral and the whole State, as it
were, stood over the bier of her
most honored son. Surely this dis
play of feeling was sincere and the
people of South Carolina will con
tribute $jo,ooo for the erection of a
monument to the memory of her
illustrious soldier-statesman who
showed his great love by his wise
counsel and his brave deeds.
We believe that Newberry's small
portion will be raised in a very few
days, as it should be.
CHRISTMAS.
The Christmas tide is upon us
again-the season of joy and glad
ness because the season of peace
and good will.
Christmas is essentially the fes
tival of the children and the
poor. It is the babe in Bethle
hem's manager whom we honor by
its observance and his walk in life
was by choice among the meek and
lowly. Make the children happy,
for they will soon face the cares and
the worries and the anxieties of life
in a selfish world. See to it that
the little ones are visited by Santa
Claus, ior otherwise you will des
troy their childish faith in the love
of which to them he is the incar
natIon. Give to the needy and seek
to relieve the distressed. Your own
heart may be filled with grief and
sorrow, but the most beautiful f
all divine beneficence is that by
which, when we wipe away
another's tears, our own may cease
to fall.
The South has been greatly bless
ed in material things during the
)ast year.. The tillers of the soil
have received bounteous return for
its yield and as a result all classes
have prospered. F'rom a purely
matecial standpoint this will be the
happiest Christmas in a number of
years for the Southern people. Thme
poor, however, we have alwvays
with us and there are many in'
dividuals of the various classes whc
are pov'erty-stricken even at this
season of p)rosperi ty uniparalleled
for a number of years past. Thc
prosp)erit y wvhich has beeni visited
upon many should but make then
the more eager to bring happines!
at this joyous season upon01 the nmany
whom p)overty has not left.
Sometimes we almost despair o
the promised time when there wil
come a Christmas of some happi
ness to all. All of us could hav<
some cause for joy this Christmasi
towards that end wve all wvould work
There is enough unused wealth ii
the world that things muateria
should not stand in the way. Ther<
are other things-there may be th<
chair made v~acant since the las
Vuletide, there may be those wh<
hav'e sorrows so great and grief s<
poignant that life itse)f has becomni
to them a never-ceasing burden
Even these may find some happi
ness In thme joy of those who lov<
them and whom they love.
For the time, at least, let us seela
to put away from us and from othea
the cares and the vexations and th<
sorrows.
The true Christmas spirit is the
spirit of giving and expecting noth
ing in return,-giving especially t<
the poor. Those who seek to mnak<
others happy' w'ill ini the seekin4
themselves find happiness.
The editor of the Manufacturer
Record compares the price receive
for the big cotton crop of 1898 an
the price received for the comparf
tively small crop of this year:
"Commencing with 189i, thei
was a very heavy decline in tb
price of cotton, continuing unt
1898-99, when the average price i
New York for twelve months wa
six cents a pound. The crop <
that year of 11,274,000 bales, ti
largest ever produced, was wort
$282,ooo,ooo, while tbe crop of tli
present year of about io,ooo,oc
bales will be worth about $6oo,ooo
ooo. The value of the seed in eac
year was about $50,ooo,000. S
that the total income of Souther
farmers from their cotton and cotto
seed this year will be not less tha
$65o,ooo,ooo, ar at least $320,000
ooo more than the big crop of 189
yielded."
The cry of hard times should ne
be heard in the South again fo
a while anyway.
