Dear Sir:?Wc herewith offer yon
some "statistics" concerning cotton.
The probable supply is indicated

and official reports; and the amount

To this must he added any cotton

ARK PLANTERS IIOLDISO?
The figures below indicate the
extent to which the "holding"
policy of planters and others who
control spot cotton is in force.
On plantations Sept 1st,

10,330,000
Receipts to Jan 16, 1000 7,403,000
In hands of farmers and
others on Jan 16 2,<33.3,300
It is shown in the foregoing
figures that mill stocks, at home
and abroad, were 1,017,">00 bales
on Sept. 1st. Since then actual
mill takings have been o.Ool ,000.
It is clear then that the requirements
of the mills from September
1st to Jan 10 (four and one-half
months) have been 6,608,000 bales.
We are not able to determine how
1- t A. 1 * _ 11 1 1

but at this rate of taking, it does
not seem extravagant to estimate
consumption for the year at 1,000,<HH)
bales p-'r month.
Now let us suppose the estimate
ubmittcd should prove to be approximately
correct, and that all
the cotton available for the season
r.HJo-G should eome forward. There
would be a supply at the beginning
of the new year of less than ">(X),(XX)
bales. Hut suppose further, that
planters and holders should actually
succeed in holding from l,oOO,(XX)
to 2,000,000 bales for higher priees.
Some mills will have to pay the
priees demanded or decrease operations.

Railroad WreGk Near Jonesvllle.
Joncsville, Jan. 17.?There was a
small wreck yesterday of a freight ,
train here in town just above Church i
street crossing. Tins train stopped
at the tank and took water and was
running at a slow rate when one
Ikjx car jumped the track and one
end plunged into the bank, as it J
was in a cut. The car was put hack i
m a few hours and as the track was J1
not misplaced the road was e
opcncil and trains went to running c
again, but again last night just at it
midnight there was another wreck
at the same identical place with a ?
freight train in the same way. A u
freight train from Spartanburg had a
taken water at the tank and was l'j
moving along slowly when an empty .lr]
box car jumped the track and Ti
turned over against the bank. The Ci
car was put on the track this morn- 1,1
ing with but little trouble and as
the track was not torn up the road tli
was opened for travel again. Last til
night passenger train No. 10 from
Ashcville had a small wreck near ?
llonham. Some of the cars jumped ^
the track but they were soon put
back again and the train proceeded
on to Columbia. No one was hurt *
i if either of the wrecks and the
damage to railway was small. At
10 o'clock this morning the track J,/,
was all clear again. So much rain "h
has made i.'ie road bed perfectly 1
rotten, esj>ecially in the cuts, and ^
the very trains makes travel dan- rilti
gerous. Tki.kphonk. ligii

Ginners* Report
Washington, Jan. 23.?Tin; census
report shows amount eottor
ginned to January 16 to have beer
9,908,000 hales, against 12,767,60C
bales ginned to January 16, 1005,
and 9,185,537 bales ginned to January
16, 1901.
The alaive report was regarded
by the New York cotton exchange
as bearish and quickly large sales
wore made. The basis of calculation
was the comparing of the re
ports of the. two years previous.
The report of January 16, 11)05,
being 12,767,600, which showed
up a 11 million bale crop in September.
Now that the repoit
shows 9,908,000 upon the same
speculative basis will put the crop
of 1903 to something over 11,000,000
bales, the estimate having been
not over 10,000,000.

A Regretted Refusal ;
(
[Original.]
Arnold Withers, lieutenant In the
United States artillery, was a noticeable
young man. He was proud, sensitive
and the soul of honor. Ills mother
died while he was a child, but he lind
never entirely recovered from her loss.
His father he had seldom seen. Whether
this was t>eeanse his tmslness necessitated
his absence Arnold did not
know. At his mother's death the boy
had been placed under the care of his
father's sister, where he had remained
till he had entered the army. Ills father,
who was rich, supplied him liberally
with money.
At twenty-five Lieutenant Withers,
while serving nt Fortress Monroe, met
among the visitors nt Old Point Comfort
Miss Luella Thorndyke. Withers,
who had given but little attention to
the opposite sex aud had been rather
displeased than otherwise at the angling
they had honored him with, gave
way to Miss Thorndyke. It is said that
opposltes are usually most likely to attract.
but in this case certain similar
psychological traits drew the two together.
They were both conscientious,
both linnni'nltle \flaa Tlmnwlvl.-n n.nu
not sure of her heart in the matter and,
fearing to wrong the man she both admired
and respected, refused him. She
had scarcely done so before she regretted
her action. "But if he loves ine as
he thinks he does," she argued, "lie will
come again." But Withers was not a
man to look hack. lie was a stoical fallow,
and not even his most intimate
friends knew of his wound.
Ten years passed. Withers had hecome
n captain and was one of the
most promising officers in the army.
He had been sent abroad to study and
report 011 certain ordnance problems and
was considered an authority in his department.
Nothing prevented his being
a favorite socially except a distaste
for society. Occasionally to
freshen a too Serious disposition he
would attend a ball, but he seemed to
see under the polite attentions of the
revelers their real selfishness. "Society,"
he said, "is a masquerade, the
gay costumes and engaging manners
being masks to conceal the hollowuess
underneath." After an hour's ^attendance
he would withdraw and was
not likely to feel the need of another
social refreshment for months.
When Withers was approaching his
thirty-sixth birthday two important
events happened. He was promoted
to be major and bis father died. During
his father's Inst illness the son
went to him and remained with him
till he died. After the funeral he returned
to his post, but it was plain to
ail his friends that he was a changed
mnu. He had Inherited nearly n mil,*mm
uuuuiw, T" x
this would not deter one so promlupflj
ho sooner returnbL?
80Dt resignation to
Bnshlugton, and soon nfter lii?
_ utviucr
uiuccrs were electrified l>y the news
that he was a citizen. Then it was
surmised that he would take the presidency
of aogie large corporation. What |
he would do no one knew, for he told
no one of his plana. Ills father had
left him a handsome residence on the
outskirts of n large city. There Withers
went, settled himself, and the world
ivithout Its walls knew him no more.
When Arnold Withers shut himself
ip In his castle Luclla Tliorndyke was
n Europe. The first news she recelv*1
was that her former lover had inlerlted
a fortune. She rather hoped
hat, since she was wealthy. Withers
light have kept away from her, feeing
that he could not match her forune,
and now this objection being reloved
he might again ask for her
and. But when she returned and
eard the rest of the story she was puzed.
There is something in the mind
f a womau for divining the troubles
! those they love?a sort of wireless
legraphy.
Luella was sure that Withers had relived
some great blow. Now was the
lie for her to comfort him. But how?
?twecn them flowed a stream that she
as not permitted to cross, lie could

s same mind as the night he told her
his love on one of the casemates of |
rtress Monroe when the moon was

, she would have written him. But
it was ten years ago, and how did |
