C., has written a letter to the n< editor of the Wall Street Journal g( with the intention of correcting some th of the wrong impressions formed in w the North of Southern conditions, as pi a result of the manner in which the Sc buy-a-bale movement was played up th in Northern cities. This Clinton firm kj hands out the truth in pointed style c< when it says that "for the last ten th r years the South has been immensely m paid for raising cotton, and there Uj has been a large accumulation of 0f money, putting the farmers into ex- St /iniiant nncitinn sn that a lares oer- ? centage of them can hold their crops to through till next season, if they de- tli sire to do so. A very large percent- ]e age of them will not sell at T 1-2 cc cents a pound, nor even at 10 cents T1 a pound. Not a few of them will re- th fuse to sell their crops at 12 cents h a pound."

He fled from Mexico City ( > Vera Cruz, and thence to Texas, , here he was later joined by his j ife, their two daughters and oldest . >n. From there he sought out a ? issionary, the only man in the ? nited States he knew, and is now ;siding next door to this missionary , i' a town in the upper section pf j suth Carolina. j But this Mexican refugee has not j ?t been able to get all of his family j to the TTnited States.

In all the United States this refuges {new only one man, that man an American missionary, whom he had ;nown in Mexico for ten years, and vith whom he and his family had leen on terms of friendship. He had lot heard of the missionary for months, or he had been in the United States nearly a year. He telegraphed a mis?ion board in New York city, and hrough them found that this misiionarv was residing in South Caroina. He got in touch with his friend ir.d came to the town where he was esiding. claiming and getting his :are and attention. ? Only Mexican This refugee is the only Mexican n the town where he is residing ternlorarilv. In Texas he had found the jfcopie distrustful and resbntful ol ill Mexicans, and encountered conempt and rather hard ways. * In South Carolina he, through the mis iionary, of course, found -kindness ind a ready reception for himself and lis family. He moved into a house lext door to where the missionary ind his family are living and the leighbors called and gave ample evilence of friendship. Only the mis.ionary and family could understand he language of the Mexicans, for rom a residence of several years as nissionaries in that country, they, >f course, had mastered the Spanish anguage. However, the refugees vere quick to pick up English words, tnd now every day the former Mexcan governor takes regular lessons n English from the missionary. He s determined to master the English anguage. He reads the papers each lay and can translate the English veil enough to get a f^ood idea of the lews each morning. ' Of course, he ollows reports from his country slosely. His children are well educated and hey are also applying themselves o mastering the English language. Both of the girls are attending the mblic school of the town where they ire living and are said to be making I'AnHorfnl nrnprPQfi Ways of Mexicans. It is interesting to hear the comnents of the people on the ways of he Mexicans, and to none are they )bjects of greater interest and atention than from the negro ser-ants. They have employed a negro voman to cook for them, and this :ook keeps the neighborhood cooks josted, and they in turn tell the lousekeepers.* The cook had some rouble at first getting used to some )f-the dishes which are almost necessary for every Mexican table. It is elated that one day Mrs. Mexican lad prepared one of their favorite lishes, and when she came back into he kitchen and found it missing, nquired to the cook where it was, tnd the negro told her she had hrown it to the chickens, thinking t was chicken feed. The lady of the house brought some Frijoles with her from Texas ind they are enabled to get Chili >eper where they reside. But they lave to do without Tortilla, for it s made from corn by grinding with t certain kind of rock. However, he Mexicans are fast getting used o American fare. And their negro :ook is said to be getting able to inderstand some of the Mexican vords. Liked by Neighbors. The people of the town where the efugees are staying like them.
