The reductions will be sweeping in- some instances according to one Anderson clothier who said a cut in the price of fancy woolen goods had already been made and that he looked for a yteady downward trend throughout the season. Woolen suits that were sold in An derson last spring for 934 or $35 can now bo bought for 130, or probably for $28, remarked a local haberdash er yesterday.

His opinion, though, seem ed, to be the only one to that effect, as other statements secured predicted a substantial deoreaso in all lines of woolen goods.

Columbia, Feb. 5.? The following resolutions adopted by the Beaufort Board of Trade were printed In the Senate Jo?r?^' "Whereas, a recent coamun lea lion from thegovernor to the state sen ate seem* to be construed by the press as conveying reflections upon the character and memory of our es teemed fellow citizen, Capt, N.

"A man. of high educational at tainment, liberal mind and progres sive spirit, be was ever ready to fur ther the best interests of hli adopted home, and l e was rr-spected and ea teomcd none the less because of tho fact that he had been a brave Union soldier and had done his duty, as he saw it in that capacity, having en listed as a foreigner and having serv ed through the whole war, being j thrice wounded and 'hrlce promoted! though such n btatcment that be ever led negro troops in battle against the soldier* of the,Confederacy Is er roneous and was long ago refuted when first made. The idea that he ever stood for social equality of the races is* as absurd as it is baseless. Capt. Christensen married after he settled here and his children were born and reared here and his family am held !n the highest cztsem. His son, tbe Hon. Niehl Christensen, has always made every effort to estab lish and maintain white supremacy and has been thrice elected senator from this county and we have cer tainly no apology to make for his election; and are also entirely con vinced that ali Sffco know him, know that there 5 a no reason for any.

To the Editor. Mr. Hub Evans in a speech lately delivered in Newberry county takes Senator Christensen to task for an event in his father's military career that happened 14 years before the son was born. Mr. Evans alleges that Senator Christensen'.a father was a captain in a negro regiment that fought against the South. Mr. Evans perverts ,in part tho facts of the sol dier's record to suit his .purposes. As I am a private citizen and have been so for-tho past 31 years, holding no office except that of town .war den, and seeking none, I do not perceive why I should wantonly he dragged before tkajroMWcohcerning 'f r1 T^ft^^tfrgeaayi no pos sible, Interest an* wWch concerns none but myself. If. htm? ??, ?? iuuratyfreoard vtftm to1 be Ventilated before the public to further a politi cian's aim in his pursuit after the un attainable, I prefer myself to give It as a whole, simply an. outline of the same, that it might be the bettet un derstood. iWith that object In view I tmbmit that I entered the service la the esrly part of the war in the 115th Ni Y. Volunteers (white) and served with tho army of the Potomac until it/became decimated by the casuaN ties of war, when the remnant left was consolidated with another New York regiment serving in the West. I was then transferred to the 102nd New York volunteers (white) serv tag In the 'West, At Svaannah a spe del order was handed r>e through regular channel froru1 the secre of^^fl? jf?oto a col ?hattanoo- J g a, Tenn.

The war then being practically over, I was assigned by. the, corps, com mander to special duty as a member of a military commission for the trial of clrll cases that were aent-be fore lt. I wets afterwards assigned -to duty as a member of a court martial for the trial of military .eases. About I the time that (hl^ duty had been per* formed the regiment was mustered i out. 1 then joined, the 43rd Veteran corps (white) .eemposed of officers and men who had been wounded in the servies.

C. I served in the army seven' years. I will state Al the oampalgns, 'fighting and battles la which I took part. and they were not a few. I served only with white troops. 1 was three times wounded in- battle. I have no apologies to make for any part of my record as a soldier or that o( a citizen. N. Christenseo. Beaufort, A'SUSt 5, 1006. . ?_ ,,_m ^ ?_a - ZTwSS ?uHinirinrn, Beaufort, Aug. 11, 1906.?Our at tention has been called to a most ma licious and unwarranted aepcralon cast upon our friend and neighbor, N. Christensen, Sr., by H. H. Evans in a recent speech of bis at Newberry on Tuesday, the 31st of July, last. (An eminent eutbor asserts that, it is almost as criminal to hear a worthy man traduced without attempting his justification as'to be the author of the' calumny against him. CapL Christen sen 1p away on his vacation, and in tiifit absence aud without his knowl edge, we desire to say a few words about him. As old citizens of Beaufort and Con federate veterans we desire to say to the people of South Carolina that we hold Mr. Christensen in the highest esteem, (lie came to live among us some 30-odd years' ago and from1 tbe very first won our respect. "Prom ; what we know of hut record as a Un ion soldier we have every assurance to believe blm to have been a gal lant officer and a worthy foe. From what we have known of him since the war wo entertain for him the. kindest feolings and hold him in just esteem as a true and worthy citizen, due who can always be counted upon to fur ther every progressive movement. Coming here with very little capital, he has become one of our largest taxpayers In the county through in dustry and fair dealing as a mer chant. He has never taken any part In politics, except to. serve for seve ral terms as warden in the town of Beaufort, bis modesty and conserva tism causing bim to eschew; any and all political preferment, which he duobtlesa could have obtained, with the sanction of our V?st citizens. To our fellow veterans throughout the State we would say that we de nounce the aspersions cast'upon our friend and fellow citizen as unjust, and we condemn the gratiutous effort that has been made to arouse unwar ranted prejudices against him. He is living and working here among us as an ' irreproachable citizen and one of which unjrA .community would be proud. *j " (Slgnedk -Thos. Q. White..

ISSUED CALL FOR CONFERENCE Hague Tribunal to Meet at In stance of the United Stales. (By Associated Pres?.) Washington, Feb. 5.?The United States government, it became known at tbe White House today, has issued a call tor the holding of the third peace conference at The Hague next year. This government took that action, it is understood, at the request of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. Failure of tho next Hague confer ence has been threatened through tho neglect of some of the great powers to take the steps necessary for the preparation of the program of subjects to be considered in time to insure the assembly of the conference next year, according to the recommendations of the laut conference. One of the protocols adopted by that I conference recommended that the gov- j ernments represented appoint individ ual committees to prepare lists of sub jects to be placed on the program for the meeting two years in advanco of the actual date of assembly, which was to be in 1915 it the usual prac tice were followed. n The United States promptly ap pointed., as its committee Reuben I Clarke,' Judge Advocate- General] Crowdcr and Rear Admiral Wain wright. Few other nations, however, have met tbelr obligations in this re spect, and it recently was represented to Secretary Bryan by Senator Root that some way must be found to I hasten tho agreement upon a program I and secure the designation of a date for the meeting of the third confer ence.
