Farmers, even those who are considered "nigh" in other respects, are 8 usually quite willing to give foot passengers a "liftbut they like to be , asked for the favor politely. A native ( of Hillville was returning from the J county fair at Brook by with an empty t wagon, when he overtook a smartly f dressed young man who was plodding i along with the disgusted air of one a unused to country roads and sandy ii ?. soil. 1 "Hello, hayseed J" cried the foot c passenger, turning round as he heard v the rattle of wagon wheels and stand- t intr still until the farmer drove up. IS "Can a fellow get a lift to 'Sconset ?" ii and without waiting for a reply, he li vaulted into the wagon. "I might as o well ride with you a8 walk, I guess, u Now, then, start up your nag." " The farmer looked at the young c man a little sharply, but said nothing a beyond a "Git up!" addressed to his a horse. t After two or three miles had been s traversed the young man paused for a ji moment in bis inconsequent chatter n and remarked: d "It's more of a distance to 'Sconset c than I supposed." S "It is quite a distance," responded b the farmer in a noncommittal tone. v Another'20 minutes passed, and then ti the young man inquired: n "About how far is it to 'Sconset?" ti "Well," replied the farmer, "keep- o in' straight ahead, the way we are r goin' naow, I sh'd say'twould be a il matter o' 25,000 miles or so; but ef so c be you was favorable t' gittin' aout o' v my wagon an' hoofin' it back, it ain't d much above 8 miles." s The young man got out with great t! celerity and proceeded to "hoof it" in y the opposite direction. b "I cal'clate," said the farmer, telling it his wife the story afterward, "I v cal'clate his mode of addressin' the a next man he meets will be some differ* ti ent."?Christian Observer. p . . fi Deceitful Man.?Two men were 0 standing together in a postoffice.

King's Monntai] Iracle, June 23 : Some days ago wi >as8ed over the main thoroughfare be ween our town and Yorkville, ant bund the mountain part of it almos mpassable, even with a double tean .nd light buggy, which gave us som< dea of what it would be with a heavi umbering wagon loaded with cottoi r other heavy produce. We simply rould prefer riding several miles far her to some other town than King'i lountaiD rather than attempt it, and t would be a saving of time and horse abor to do so. Huge rocks stood uj n. their mountain foundation in th< aiddle of the road seeming to say knock me down first and then yoi an pass." Holes and gullies, risei ,nd falls, poles and half-bridges balkec nd impeded our progress. At everj urn of the wheel it was a continua baking and shuffling, jostling anc ambling, until we were well rid of the aountain, and into the easy well-gra led convict-worked roads of Yorl ounty. Now, what does it mean ' limply this: Yorkville expects tc id and work for a trade and produce rhich rightfully belongs to us by loca ion, the trade and product of oui eighboring farmers of King's Moun ain township. In comparison witt ur rough roads she puts easy, smooth unning hill-cut-down roads graded at f for a street. As merchants anc otton dealers can compare prices any rhere, what then are you going tc 0 about these roads ? Allow them tc tand as they are and the trade acrosf he mountain go to Yorkville, or arc ou going to make that road as passa le as can be ? You must think aboul 5 and act about it. Our trip to York ille was one only necessary in sever 1 months, and individually we cannol herefore complain. But many comlaints have reached our ears lately ;om that section of the country and ur trade. We have already heard oi ome who have turned their' businesf a Yorkville because of the bad condilon of the road to us. Surely we canot afford this. Now it falls within be official duty of both Cleveland and - ? - 3 _ ? laston counties to see mat roaa is iu ? etter fix for travel. There is some egligence somewhere if it is not imroved and that immediately. And ; follows upon you, the business men f King's Mountain interested in the welfare of your town and the swelling f your bank accounts, to see that it is one and properly, to subscribe to it rivately and push the movement foi better road in that direction for all ; is worth.

Fifty-six teachers are ow enrolled and they are full of inerest and attend regularly. One ol he main features of the school is the ?ssons in music, given by Miss Addie IcArtbur. Last week the teachers tudied for several days on William Eullen Bryant. On yesterday they /rote a short biography of him. They /ill, in a few days, begin a study oi 'ope. The gulf streams and currents ave been the study in geography foi everal days. Today they will study he cause and origin of volcanoes, lap drawing is one feature of the his ory lessons under Prof. Martin. He nughingly suggested that the teachers hould not take too great pains in draw ag the first few maps, as he should lave them draw several at differenl imes, and would like to see an im rovement as they went along. Prof lartin went home on a visit Saturday >ut was here Monday on time and eady for his week's work. Things .re progressing nicely on the works o he new Limestone Cotton mill. Eigh een or twenty of the tenement houses .re framed and the walls of the mil luilding are rapidly going up; wagons .re running to and fro, hands are warming around like bees, and every hing about the place has an air o: >usiness. The recent rains have some vhat retarded the work, but it has lot been very materially hindered. )ne day last week, as Col. T. B.

C 3 , Editor Yorkville Enquirer: j; / i Kindly allow me space in your val- t f uable paper to say a few words to the t . Prohibitionists of York county. There il 3 is a great deal being said and written r I about prohibition ; but I hear very lit- t } tie said about working for prohibition, s j The fight is on. We have a Prohi- fi > bition candidate in the field. Are we g coiner to let him make the race single i> J O o w , banded, as Mr. Featherstone did ? 3 Victory in this fight means work, not fi I only on the part of Colonel Hoyt; but ti j it means work for all who are in sym- r I pathy with the movement. Colonel a 1 Hoyt is able in every respect to do his g 3 part of this work; but he cannot do t . our part. The captain of an army fi : cannot lead his men on to victory un- ti f less they fight. Neither can Colonel p 3 Hoyt win in this race unless we rally 3 to his support and give him our hearty 0 . co-operation in the work. And this e r work cannot all be done on election tl . day. If we sit at ease in Zion until ti t election day, and then expect to go to v . the polls and carry everything by t! 3 storm, we will get badly fooled. li I There is work to done every day. a . Talk and work. Get the people waked C 3 up on the subject. Get them to think- p , ing. Get them interested in the move- 1 , ment. There is a large floating vote ii 3 in the country. A great many people , vote, not because they are interested I - in the election, or have any preference A . as to who is elected ; but simply vote Ii . because they have the privilege of vot- c ^ ing. Colonel Hoyt win poll a large c . per cent, of this vote by a little pru- r< r dent work on the part of the Prohibi[ tionists. I f No great things have ever been ac- 2 } complished except by hard work on (' . the part of all concerned. Neither f . may we expect to win in this race un- C { less we work. Are you in sympathy [ with the prohibition movement? If 1 k so, speak to your neighbor about it, n , and get him interested and in sym pa- e . thy with the work. He will speak to n I some one else, and so the good work d , will go on. And by election day the tl , people will be fully aroused on the p subject. tl | York county made a good showing q f in the last election. Let's make a bet- ei . ter one in the coming election. But tl [ I imagine I can hear some one say, at "What is all this fuss about ? Why b not re-elect Governor McSweeney? b ' He is a good man and has made a ri 1 good governor." We have no charges k ' to brine against Governor McSweeney. a So far as we know he has made a good p ' governor; but it is measures and not 1 men that we are fighting. Governor ft McSweeney wants the dispensary to fi [ stand. We want prohibition. It is si the measure and not the man that we si ' oppose. Messrs. Patterson and Gary si are no doubt wise men and well qual- ti ' ified to fill the office ; but they do not ti ' advocate our cause. No, we have S ' nothing to say against any of these tl L gentlemen. And if any one of them c< gets a majority of the votes in the e: | primary, we will support them in the si general election. ei 1 But we believe that by a little wise g 1 and prudent work, Colonel Hoyt will o ' receive the nomination for governor in 1 the next primary election. Let us work to that end. Begin now and work until the polls are closed on elec- s< | tion day. J. K. Scoggins.

Ol Tien Tsin is 80 miles southeast of Vl Pat-in t.h? nnnital of the emDire. ac- v , cording to the New York Tribune. ^ - The climate is similar to that of Washi ington, and navigation is closed for the ic months of December, January and i February, and sometimes in March. ; James W. Ragsdale, for nearly three n' i years past the United States consul at c' Tien Tsin, was born February 12, al 1848, near. Bloomington, Ind., and ? ? emigrated with bis parents to Iowa in t( , 1850. He grew up on a farm until the ^ . fall of 1868, when he volunteered in ^ Company C, Thirteenth Iowa infantry, V( , though he was under 16 years of age. 0 , The last two years of the war he served E i as a non-commissioned officer under a' General Sherman, participating in all f the battles and campaigns of that com- A i mander, including the march through > Georgia and the Carolinas, and the ^ i grand review at Washington after the i surrender. After three years' study at a' Cornell college, Mount Vernon, Iowa, ^ - he emigrated to Washington territory e( f in 1872, and thence to California in tc i 1893, where he was 20 years owner,pub lisher and editor of weekly and daily P - newspapers. He served one term in , the California assembly and two terms F as state senator, holding no other office > until appointed consul at Tien Tsin by P* D-?t Uu morripH tiffin J i 1C3IUCUI ITIVXVIUIOJ . L. Hines, on February 3,1870, at CharI iton, Iowa, and his wife and children, p; I) three sons and one daughter, are with tl him in China. tt His vice consul is Sylvester G. Hill, M , son of Colonel Sylvester G. Hill, of the ir 1 Thirty-fifth Iowa infantry. The vice n< } consul was born in Muscatine, Iowa, ej f in 1856, attended the Philadelphia Dental college and is now a practicing m 3 dentist in Tien Tain. I Bertrand Ragsdale, eldest son of the tl 3 consul and United States marshal of si 3 the Tien Tsin consular court, was born ai - at Osceola, Iowa, on January 8, 1871. f He was educated in the public schools ai in Sonoma county, California, and was p] 3 appointed postmaster at Santa Rosa in ' that state by President Harrison in d: r July, 1892. Young Ragsdale was re- ej aoved after 15 months' service to mat oom for a Democrat, in opposition I i petition signed by 500 Democrat >atrons of the office. He was appoii ed acting United States marshal i Hen Tsin on January 1, 1898, an commissioned marshal by the preside) February 19, following. Up to the beginning of the preset entury Tien Tsin was a small plac loted only as a military station ; but tas grown to be a city of great infli nee. Today it is the home of 1,000 00 people, with an annual export an mport trade aggregating 65,000,0( aels. The foreign settlement cot ains a population of about 1,200, an La public aud private improvemen ank with many of the best cities < be United States. Tbemud boles an wamps of a few years ago have bee illed in, and the mod shanties hat ;iven way to buildings almost palatii a style and comfort. The greatest drawback has heen tb illing up of the Pei-Ho to such an e: ent that ships are no longer able t each the city, as in former years, bi re compelled to discharge their ca oes into lighters of shallow draft net he mouth of the river, and not ii requently outside the bar, a necessit bat adds greatly to the cost of tran or tat ion. A river improvement fund of 250 00 taels has been raised by the fo ign municipalities and the viceroy < be province, and the work of redem| ion is being rapidly pushed forwan nth hope of success, It is expecte< berefore, that ships will be enabled I md their cargoes at the city bun fter this year. The Tien Tsin an !bin-Kiang railroad will also be con leted in the near future, thus givin Men Tsin shipping facilities that wi aure to the benefit of North China. As indicating the importance of tb fnited States in North China, th imerican consul at Tien Tsin, M tagsdale, has recently made a carefc ensus of the Amerlcal citizens in h onsular district, with the followin esult: Tien Tsin, 110; Pekin, 87; Tsui ?ua, 14; Tung-Chi, 17 ; Pao-Ting-Fi 0;Kuh, Wa Hsien, 1; Pilot Tow raku), 14; Li-Man, 7; Kalgan, ? 'en-Cbo-Fu, 6; Jen-Tsen, 2; Tong lhan, 1; total, 287. The growing political importance ( Men Tsin was conspicuously recog ized last year when Russia establish d a resident agent there with an ar ual salary of $50,000, leaving n oubt as to the eventual attitude < be czar toward that territory. The city is rapidly developing int 116 QlOSli impurtuut UJillbai jr uvov uarters of the empire. China's high 3t generals are concentrated there fc tie protection of the capital city. Th irategic value of the place is enhance y the fact that it is soon destined t e the focus of a vast railway system unifying not only to all parts of th ingdom, but penetrating northwar nd westward, into and across th resect Russian possessions. The United States consulate o [eadows road, several blocks awa om the river, in the English concei on, is one of the most imposing an ubstantial buildings in the foreig 3ttlement, in which it occupies a cec ral and prominent position. It coe lies the offices of consul and Unite tates court for the district, of whic tie consul is judge, and a large rc Bption hall where Chinese officials ar ntertained. The upper stories con litute the consul's residence. 0 ach side of the entrance to th rounds is a lodge, occupied by th fficial messengers, who are uniformed BRYAN'S RUNNING MATE. snator B. R.

There is a wide divergence of opln in, at least 25 Democrats of more o iss prominence being named as possi ilities, strong running mates for Cole el Bryan. The list of favorites io udes such Democrats as former Sen tor David B. Hill, of New York icbard Croker ; Joseph Pulitzer, edi >r and proprietor of the New Yorl /orld ; William R.

The tabulated vote show Bcided preference for Hill, of Nev ork ; but no one has a clear majority Another favorite is Hearst. He i Imost as strong as Hill. Genera Wheeler is another whose name th litors believe would be a strong on ) conjure with. Admiral Dewey finds little favoi attison, of Pennsylvania, is regardei y many as a strong candidate, am itzhugh Lee is held by not a few t< a the one man who can match thi opularity of Roosevelt.

The Chinese army, which is reported it to be opposing the advance of the a- combined forces sent by the powers tt r relieve the embassies blockaded in Pekin, comprises several regimente *0 from the western provinces of Kansuh )- and Shensi, which are largely composed d of Mobammedaos. They form some te of the best fighting regiments in the Chinese regular army, and are disd tinguished for their hostility toward lD foreigners. In the provinces of Kan'e suh and Yunnan, more than half the *1 population are Mohammedans, and the number of Chinese professing that 16 creed throughout the empire is stated at between 20,000,000 and 30,000,000. 0 The religion entered China by cara* vans in the north and by sea in the r* south. The first mosque in north " China was built at Hsian Fu in Shensi in 742. From Shensi it made' its way y into Kansuh, and later Mongol conB~ quests resulted in a great immigration of Mussulmans from Syria, Arabia and '>* Persia into the western part of the r" empire. The immigrants gradually lost their racial peculiarities by mar>' riage with Chinese women. Tradition says thai Mussulmans first came to Canton in the sixth year o! 0 the Hegira, early in the seventh cend tury, under the leadership of a materd nal uncle of Mohammed, whose tomt is still an object of reverence foi 8 Chinese Mussulmans. In 758 their H numbers were increased by some 4,00C Arabs wbo came to assist in quelling >e an insurrection, and then, like the e Manchus, declined to withdraw. Theii r- increase since then has beea mainly d due to the ordinary causes and the >s purchase of poor children in time ol g famine, and their numbers today would probably have been larger than they * are had it not been for their numerous l? rebellions, notably that known as the D Pantbas rebellion, that lasted from ' > 1855 to 1875, and in which more than J" 2,000,000 of them perished. Preserving the military spirit, they have been by turns of use and a danger to the V government and dynasty ; but at present they find themselves in accord with the rest of their countrymen in 0 their common antipathy to the for'f eigner. i?
