Received one of your letters today, I and was *>lad ot get it. also received a ! News and Courier. H was kind enough |< to subscribe to the Saturday Evening: Post for me It has begun to come, j and I am glad to get it. We are pret-1 ? ty well suited in the town of May;- j schoss, for ? no telling how long, and j time seems .to hang heavy on our j hands. I am no more with Battal-1 ion Headquarters.- I got home sick! for the old company, and tired of do-j: ing almost nothing, so asked to getj back to the company. We drill onlyj; a. few hours a day, the reason for this] is on account of the mountains. 1 They can't find a drill ground, an un- : usual tiding. This is the prettiest country around here you ever saw. High mountains on all sides, thejdvorp Ahr winds in and out with our town i; on its banks, extending for over a; i mile. Wh n we woke up Christmas j i morning, everything was covered with i snow, and it made a rare sight. Where we are now is right in the heart of ? Prussia, the further we have come\\ into Germany," the poorer the peo ple are. in the town the people are deathly poor. Some things are plen tiful enough, while others are almost impossible to get, and very h!gh. Cot ton is impossible to get, so every thing is linen. A towel costs us $2.00 j at the stores. . I went to a fairly large town not j long ago. and we got some pies at ;i j dollar apiece, a cake of soap, smaller j than "Fairies'* cost $2.00. I think j most of this is because there is no scarcity1 of money, and because theirr money has dropped way down. We] arc pretty well fixed as to billets. Ij have an old cot. with two comforts the lady loaned nie, and four blankets; j that is solid comfort compared to what we had been having. "Nine of us ar?- in a home belonging to a man] and his sister. He has just gotten out . of the army, alter four years, and], curses the Kaiser and everything Ger man, but she is a real Prussian and with what hub..- German we speak,] we have some arguments. Her chief! argument is that the Kaiser is so' handsome, and "Weelson" is not near] so handsome, but in spite of that she] is a good woman, and mighty nice' to us. We have never had a y trou-j bie with the people. They do not seem j to resent our being here at all. but I all se?.)r: ..iad we are her?-, instead of The French. They hate the French rail right, they are the cleanest and hardest working people I ever saw. j This woman washes her doors and j he whole house about twice :l week.! j and everything is kept neat and ab-1 solutely eie.-m. But what interests mei ?most, and in faci all the fellows talk j [about is. when are we. going home.! j We have been here about three 1 ? weeks, and do not seem any neareri I leaving than at first. You ought to! i see our insignia, it is a rainbow <>f! j three colors to be worn on the 'eft I [arm. What with that our two gold!

Mr. Clegg said, "discussions began between the shipping board, the British ministry.; of shipping and individual lines on j tho subject of freight rates. As a' result we arrived at reductions to the, Cnited Kingdom and we then took up rates to other countries as we had the opportunity.

That the: people of the State intend to rear suf-i flcient chicks to guarantee a supply of layers next winter is shown by the great nuvnber of inquiries received by! the Diviisori of Poultz-y Husbandry.; relative to the most suitable incuba-1 tor for farm use. The interest in,: poultry raising is growing constantly! and rapidly and the people are wise to use inenhatbrs and brooders rath er than to depend upon the setting; hen.

I Washington. Feb. 4.?Investigation "i' the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges by a committee of Sve members of the house appointed by Speaker Claris was propose..; to day by Representative Caraway of j Arkansas in a resolution introduced j in the house. The committee would j bo directed to determine whether I'short selling and speculation on the 'exchanges had caused a decline ?>f [cotton prices. The resolution of Mr. I Caraway would direct the committee jto determine the cause of wide ! fluctuations in the cotton future ? market and whether the low price-; bare due to a conspiracy of restrain; I among dealers. It also Would direct ?the Committee to recommend legisla ; tion to restore open market condi ? tion. "Representatives from cotton [States, including Mr. Caraway and. 1 Representatives Eagle of Texas and H'eflin of Alabama, urged that ae ! tion be taken by congress to assure a higher price for cotton. Mr. Car away did not directly charge that manipulation caused the decline in cotton prices. but Representatives; Eagle and Heflin asserted that for eign spinners by short selling through American agents had forced down the price. "The 'price has constantly drop- j ped until now there is not any mar- ? ket for cotton." declared Mr. Cara-j way. who asserted that this condi-; tion prevailed although the world's! cotton supply is short and the 191* ; crop of the South is the smallest\ ever gathered there. Mr. Caraway said that while he would not charge , (manipulation as the cause of the | decline he had information an agreement had been made in this country to sell cotton to foreign i countries at a contract price less than that which cotton had brought in the open market here. "No market regulated by the law of supply and demand could sag for 567,000,000 as has the cotton mar-j ket in the last two months, especial-' ly with the supply constantly grow-! ?ing less." Representative Eagle declared that ? "English cotton spinners man:-; pulate the market through their: agents, tho New York and New Or- j leans cotton gamblers." He added that Xew England manufacturers j had contracted to sell cotton goods on ? a basis of paying 37 1-4 cents a! pound for the raw product and said that any price under that amount : was "so much in the hands of the) speculators." Mr. Hafiin also accused manipula- : tors with causing the decline in the market and added that unless con- . gress takes action financial hard-! ships will ensue through the South, j Flu Germ Identified !
