Hance reported in the foregoing list as "severely wounded, leg amputated," was mortally wounded, carried to Richmond, where he died in hospital, after a heroic struggle for life, eight or ten days later. The writer of this note, having been sent to Rich mond in charge of prisoners captured by Hampton's cavalry, two or three days after the battle of Fredericksburg, learning that Capt. Hance had been sent to the city succeeded in getting a pormit to see him through the kindness of the chief surgeon, Dr. Morris. We found the gallant fellow, though suf fering severely, quite cheerful and re manded at his side all night. We being (obliged to return to the front next I morning he bade us a smiling good 1 byo, still h?>pH"ul and cheerful, yet willing to yield his young life, if need be, for the cause he loved. But the time soon came when? "Tho warrior's spirit takes its flight To greet the warrior's soul." Capt. Hance was in command of the regiment when he received his death wound, ull the field officers being wounded, he being the senior captain. In Gen. Longstreet's book, "From Manassas to Appomattox," pages 315 316, he gives the losses at Fredericks burg as follows: Federal-Killed, 1,284; wounded, 9,600. Total casualties, 10,884. Confederate?Killed, 5951 wounded, 4,074. Total casualties, 4,669. Federal loss in prisoners, 1,769; mak ing total loss of 12,653. Confederate loss in prisoners, 653. making a total loss of 5,322. The same author, Gen. Longstreet, gives the forees available for battle at Fredericksburg as follows: Federal, 116,683; Confederate, 78,000. Troops put in battle: Federal, 50,000; Confed erates actually engaged less than 20, 000. Speaking of the bravery and loss of life on the Federal side, Gen. Long street says: "A series of braver, more desperate charges than those hurled against the troops in the sunken road was never known, and the piles and cross-piles of dead marked a field such as I never saw before or since," What The Southern Cotton Association Stands For? (UY HARVIK JORDAN.) COTTON HAS NO COMPETITION. It is now a well established fact that \ the South holds a complete monopoly of the cotton crop of the world, and that no material which can be woven into cloth, can be used as a competitor against cotton under 14 cents per pound. Our cotton has but four com petitors -wool, flax, silk and foreign grown cotton. It is only when Ameri can cotton is sold at 14 cents per pound, that foreign-grown cotton can be pro fitably manufactured as a competitor, and tho price of the staple must ad vance to 25 and 30 cents per pound to permit woolen goods to bo manufac tured as a competitor. The limited sup ply of silk and flax places them beyond the realm of competition; hence, we must conclude that the only competitor to-day of American cotton is a surplus of American cotton. The only reason ' why the price of our cotton lias been depreciated below its maximum value in years past and gone, has been due to either a bad system of marketing with reckless disregard of its sale, or, to an over-production of the staple, and per mitting the over- production to he used as a hammer to beat down the price of ! the staple actually needed for con sumption, either through speculative influences, or the combined energies of the exporters and spinning interests of the world. With the knowledge of these facts, it is the imperative duty of the cotton-growers, aided by the com bined efforts of all the allied business interests in the South, to devise ways and means which will protect tho sta ple from depressing influences which have annually robbed the South of from two hundred to three hundred millions of dollars that should have gone into the pockets of our people. VALUE OF THE COTTON CROP. The annual cotton crop of the .South is the most valuable of any agricul tural product grown on the face of the globe. Its annual sales amount in the aggregato for the raw material to more than six hundred millions of dol lars, and, when converted into the fin ished fabric, will sell for the enormous total of nearly two billions of dollars. It is due alone to the cotton crop of the South that the balance of trade is in favor of the United States in its com mercial relations with foreign coun tries. In 1904, the exports of raw cot ton amounted to more than one million dollars for each of the 365 days. And this three hundred and sixty-five mil lions of dollars, which was sent to this country in gold by tho foreign spinner, paid for only sixty-five per cent, of the crop produced, leaving the balance, or thirty-five per cent., to be woven int; cloth under the roofsof American mills. COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH. The enormous increase in the value of the staple after it has passed through the loom, presents the highest evidence of the necessity for the more rapid building of cotton mills in the South, and the exporting of the finished pro duct from our shores rather than that of the raw material. The export of our Yaw cotton annually brings more gold into this country than tho combined ex ports of all other agricultural products and agricultural implements shipped from America to foreign countries. A crop of such magnitude in value, and "ne upon which the entire civilized world so absolutely depends, should re ceive the immediate protection of every business interest in this country. No cotton grown in foreign countries up to the present time, can be delivered at our ports at a less price than 14 cents per pound. It is generally admitted by experts which have investigated the ef forts made to produce cotton in foroign countries, that up to the present time, such efforts have been a failure, and it is extremely doubtful if there will ever come a time when foreign grown cotton can he produced profitably in com petition with American grown cotton. OUK ASIATIC TRADE. It is confidently believed that the Panama Canal will be Opened to the commerce of the high seas within the next ten vears, after which time, the South will be in a position to secure di rect and epiick trade relations with the Asiatic nations of the Far East. In China alone, more than four hundred and fifty millions of people are ready and willing to wear cloth made from American cotton. In Japan, more than forty dive, millions of people are equally willing to be clothed from American grown cotton. With the introduction of our trade relations with three hundreds of millions of neople, a crop of fifty million bales or cotton can be consumed with the same ease as is now done with a crop of ten millions, among the civ ilized nations of Europe and America. With these splendicl possibilities lying just ahead, only waiting for proper de velopment, the time has come when the South must no longer look to the mere matter of production, but in the devel opment of our agricultural resources, wo must begin to reach out for wider markets in order to meet the develop ing agricultural conditions of the South, (t' be continued) Uncle Terry ...Bf... CHARLES CLARK MUNN Copyright, 1V0O, l>y Leo A 8h*p*r<l im mb i i ?? "A purty Blick ernft, boys," ho said to tho party as (ho Gypsy's anchor censed rattling out of the hawsehole? "n purty slick ernft, an' must 'a' cost a heap o' money." Then as ho pulled his own weather beaten dory that had been towing astern along to the gangway, Albert stopped, up to hiin and said in n low voice: "Will you excuse mo a littlo while, Mr, Terry? I wont to chango my clothes and In an hour or bo I will come ashore ond not only thank you for all your kindness, but mnko you a visit." When Undo Terry had gono Albert related bis experiences for the past eighteen hours to tho party?that 1?, all but one Incident, or rather surprise. Then nothing would do but they must nil ;?<> asboro and look tho quaint little village over. "I wish you would keep away from tho lighthouse, bo.vB," Albert said, as they were getting into their boat. "Mr. Terry's family are rather sensltlvo peo ple and may not like to have a lot of us trooping arouud their place. 1 am going over there this afternoon to make a sketch, and then I'll ask per mission and we'll all go there some other day." lie had whispered to Frank to re main on tho yacht, and when the rest were none ho said to him: "Krank, I am going to conildo something to you. Tho fact is, Frank, 1'vo tumbled Into an adventure and fallen In love with a girl on sight and without having ex changed ten words with her! S>ho Is Mr. Terry'? daughter, and hns eyes that take your breath away and a form like tho Venus of Milo. She paints pictures that are a wonder, considering she nevor has taken a lesson, and has a face more bowltehlng than any wom an's 1 ever saw. It Is like a painter's dream." "Woll, you hove gone daft, old man," replied the astonished Frank. "Hut you haven't heord It nil yet. This .unique old man, who saved mo from sleeping all night in a thicket of briers and who hns opened his heart and homo to me, has fallen into tho clutches of?Nicholas Fryo!" "Great Scott!" exclaimed Frank. "And how on earth did he ever find Fryo, or Frye find him? Was your old man of the Island hunting around Dos ton for some one to rob hi in 7" "That I do not know yet," replied Albert. "All I know Is that Mr. Terry hns paid Frye about $400, and, ns bo says, so far has nothing to show for It. What tho business wos I expect to learn later. Now, what I am coining at Is this: Can't yon manag?? to leave me hero for the rest of the day, cr. bet tor still, mnko It two days? I'll tell the boys I've tumbled into a bit of law business, which Is what I think will come out of It, and you can run down to Par Harbor ond bock hero to morrow night." "Well, I'll do that gladly," replied Frank, and then he added with a droll smile, "It will give you a chance to say a few sweet things to this girl with tho wondrous eyes, oh, Bert?" it CHAPTER XXII. T wns nearly noon when Albert loft tho yacht, lie hud ex changed his bedraggled yacht ing suit for a neat gray one, and with a small satchel, his sketch book and a box of choice Ilnvonns for Uncle Terry be rowed ashore. For three hours the Gypsy had been tho cynosure of all the Cape eyes, old or young, for a handsome "no ton yacht was a novelty in their little harbor. When she steamed slowly out, with Frank and his companions, In natty white duck suits, grouped on her stern, she was a pretty sight, and as sbo cleared the nurAiw entrance tho crew fired three guns and dipped her fing In honor of Albert, and then he picked his way over tho rocks to the light house. Undo Terry had not returned from hauling bis lobster traps, and Aunt Ussy and Telly met him at the i door. It Is likely that his being one of the yachting party Impressed Ibem a littli>, for they were both dresHed in their best. He was invited in. and then Aunt Llssy Bald, "Please u.ccusf me, for I have ?linner to git, an' jelly Will entertain ye." "And show mo her pictures, I hope," put in Albert, with his most persuasive smile. It was an awkward position for Tel ly and one that she had never before been called upon to fill. Halber shy naturally, and her sole acquaintance with the USngOS of society limited to tin- few peoplo among whom she bad been brought up, to be called upon to ontertnlll a smartly dressed and citified young man was a decidedly new expe rience. Albert saw her embarrassment find wiib true gnlimitry at once set about making her feel at case, "Please do not feel that you must try |o entertain nie, Miss Terry," be said. "Only show mo your pictures and tell me about them." "I am almost ashamed to," she re plied timidly. "Father Hays you are an artist yourself." "Oh, no, Miss Terry!" exclaimed Al bert quickly, "Ho misunderstood me. I only sketch a little and once in awhile make an effort to put n sketch that is of Interest on canvas. All I can tell Is Wien 0110 looks lifelike. For Instance," pointing to It, "that shipwreck scene. It Is wonderfully well done. I ml you paint it from a real wreck?" Telly colored. ",\o, sir," she answer ed, "that was all done from father's do< script Ion of a wreck thai took place off the point one winter when I was a baby." 'Iben, as If to cluck further questions, she stepped to a doset, brought him it small tin framed picture ami added, "There Irt one I hove Just finished." It was n Mew of n bill dirt" with a low shelf of rock at it ; |>?ne, over which the waves were breaking, Albert reo? ognlzed it at once. "Why, that Is tho very point," he exclaimed, ' that I was sketching yesterday when my boat drifted away. Did you paint it from a broad ilat rock on the wosl side ,,f the cove?" "Oh, yes. that Is the spot," replied Telly, looking pleased. "It Is shady there, and I used to row up and paint in tlu? afternoon. It Is strange you went to tho Sil 1110 place, Father told me about (baling you." she snld, "and (hot you were turned around. You must have had a hard tramp, for It's all of two miles from where you were lo this cove, .mi.I an awful tangle all the way, he said." "I was* decidedly turned when ho catne to my rescue," Albert replied, "and the sun seemed to be sotting In tho enst. It was very kind of your fa ther to take enro of me tho wny ho has, and 1 shall never forgot it." it Is not hard for two young people of opposite sex to get acquainted when each deal res to entertain the other an<l they have nt least ono well dotluod taste In common. Albert did not talk much, but adroitly Induced Telly to do most of It. In the hour they passed together he discovered that two Im pulses wore nearest Jier heart?the llrst and strongest her devotion to Undo Terry, and after thnt a desire to paint. "I do not ever hope to do much," sha admitted rather pathetically. "I never have taken lessons and innybe never shnll. I would not think of asking fa ther to let me go away, and all 1 can do Is to Work blindly. I often sit for hours trying to put things I see on can vas, only to fall utterly and begin all over again. I should not mind It If I could see that I made any progress, but I do not. I can't let It alone, though, for the most happy hours I have are when Vox painting." "You certainly have perseverance," responded Albert encouragingly, "and the pictures you have shown me seem very lifelike. I wish I could do as well. You have done pood work for one self taught as you are, and you have no reason to bo discouraged." Then Uuclo Terry came In and an nounced dinner. It was rathor a state affair for tit ? Terry household, and (he table bore their best dinner service, with a vase of dowers in the center. "I hope ye feel hungry," said Undo Terry as he passed a well filled plate to Albeit, "for we lire plain, an' it's good appctlto as makes pood vlttles. I s'pose ye aro used to purty high llvln'." "Whatever tastes pood Is good," re plied Albert, and, turning to Aunt Lls sy, ho added, "This fried lobster beats anytldng I hare tasted for a long time." (TO BR CONTINUED.) Something Still Doing!
