Besides, there were wagon loads ef magnificent flowers, several handsome designs coming from other States The procession sored to the church, a little over half a mile distant, between rows of people. Soae of the house* oa the way had Confederate flag* draped ia mourniag. Sett* ia the church could he previded fer but 1/J#0 people, while perhaps 30,000 were without. Gen.

Only men old in groy used the > shovels in tilling the grave. 1 Among the survivors was a 1 body of the men who first wont 1 te the war with Hampton, as mem. 1 bera of tho Hampton Legion.They 1 carried shot-tern flags. As was 1 to have been expected, where old 1 veterans saw for the last time, a j nan so henored and well-beloved ' a - > ii am pi on, mare were mauv J tears shed to- day.

The . in pending senate bill, he declared, was calculated by its restrictive an< action and iniraicahle spirit to kill, eur trade with China. This was j ^Ul a considerable item of vital ins- I _ pertance to 8011th Carolina, with ! its vast cotton productipn and the growing shipment of cettor goods j to China. pe '-Is it fair to tho people of tho Sti South," asked Senator McLuurin, !

Mr. McLaurin said tho effect i of a shut-down in China's trade j and tho consequent collapse of southern oottou manufacturing would be most severe on the south. It would glut lhe homo market: and close the mills. The mill own- ! ers and the operatives would suffer. : j In South Carolina some 60,000 op- ' eratives would be idle while the same result would o -.-ur in North ^ Carolina, Georgia, jtlabamu and all tho States where cottonis grown i .
