FEBRUARY KjpO. 5H?BB859S Cotton prices have cpqtinued to advance recently, in spite, of an iucreased croj1) movoBoetfit. Values are row. nearly s cents per pound higher than they were a year ago. .Exports of cotton to the close of January were nearly 2,000,000 , b^ales short of the amount shipped during the first five months of the previous season, and th^ European stocks are now 50> per cent, smaller than they were a,year ago. Foreigners have become eager buyers at prices, fu^ly I per cent higher than those which they regarded as extreme a little more than a year ago. The belated demand to replenish ioreigu stocks, i tjie activity of domestic nulls and trade recognition of the fact of a small crop are the substantial bases of the risQ.ia pfices.-~.Phi la- ' delphia B$cord. il '" ' I It is with sincere feelings of re- 1 gret we note that Senator Marshall's-child labor bill has been killed by the senate.

The chief arguments used by the opponents of the bill were tbat if the bijl was passed that it would not ouly seriously impair the manufacturinginterests of the State, but it would also cut off the means of subsistence, of, many widowed mothers. % 1 . i - J The sentiment of the Gerrpan peor ]>le towards Great Britain is beginning to change wonderfully under an analysis of the develop-j menls ofllre South African war.

J ] It could not be expe:ted, said he>! that he would get all of the votes, < but many of those who had differed. < with him in former contests were < for him* and warmly for him, at the j present time. This, Mr. Barnwell < said, was very gratifying to him. < In Colleton county he believed he < would receive a majority of the votes < and he was sure he would dc so in < Berkelay, and he eaid he hwould get a handsome vote in his boyhood home, Beaufort, and iu Williamsburg. The County Ileaprd, of. Kingstree, the only paper yriiited in Williamsburg county, said Mr. Barnwell, had come out for him. The Palmetto I Posbwus for him, one of only two papers published in lSeaufort, tlxother paper being own^d by Colonel j Elliott's son. He said he had many j friends in Georgetown, though of ; course Col. Elliott started out with " . " . 1 c everything favorable to him there.) In 1895, he eaid Georgetown polled; GOO votes^out of the 8.000 registered f<?r the 0i.?triet. Mr. Barnwell was asked what be,< thought cf the adverse expressions j 1 of "The- State" newspaper. i ( lie said he announced at the be- j ' ginning that the campaign was to be j? conducted without personalities, aud j so far as he was conce?tied he in- i tended to continue, that course to j the end. lie.said that he was glad } .. . . ... . | to see that no newspaper supporting! him had said anything disagreeable! to Col. Elliott or to his friends. Mr. | Barnwell said it was .some compen- ' sation for the labors of the cam- ( paigu and the .unpleasant criticisms , of two papers supporting Col. Elliot to read tbe pleasant things said I i about himself. Mr. Barnwell was asked as to what the relationship between Col. Elliott and himself was, as it had been asserted that they were first cousins. He said that his grandfather, Robert Barnwell, who had represented the Beaufort congressional district in the first congress if the United Stares, was the brother if the mother of Col. Elliott's grand-1 father, which, he said, was the near- j ist connection between Col. Eliiott j wd himself, lie said he did not: too what, relfttiniiflhin had to do in i ,vv " X the matter* though he vitas very1 proud of his relationship]! to so honorable a gentleman as Col. Elliott. >Ir. BamweU said the fact that in supporting Col. Elliott in former ;ampaigns he had been allowed to say in his support that the Colonel would not run against any representative Charleston man or any man representing the business interests of the city had, as he had stated when he first thought of becoming a candidate^ made it natural that it should be supposed that Col.1 Elliott would not oppose him. but he still thought, as he also had efafo/1 fViof cnnVi u cfiihtrruinf muilo J W? tv Vlj VliUV ?UVU WVMW<?4VUV *<IUV?v | in formei canvasses bhould not bind Uol. Elliott now, though it made it perfectly consistent for those who had supported the Colonel in former campaigns to oppose him now. Mv. Earn well said lie had in no seas* proposed himself. He said there would have been strong opposition to Col Elliott iu this campaign, as there had been in the last. Ihe feeling was very strong that a Charleston man should represent the iistrict. and it would have combined >ii same one else if he had not con- j sen ted to make the race. He said he believed he was uniting | Charleston and not dividing it by r risking the contest. Evening Post.j Mrs. M. J.
