Greenville Xeicz. Chairman Wiiiiatii?, of onr <r:eat Cxin Mill b<viriJ, did not wish t > let the books of the dispnrmrv oe examined, * ' - " " ? I Tr.t? far nn. Decause ne "su5|jvcicu i?. t?. litical purposes;" and now the attempt is made to break ti.c force of ibe revelation? made by l he e x-tin; nation by saying it was wfor political purpoi-es." This is too thin. If the revelations are true, and nobody atre-npis to deny them, what difference d<>es it make whether the facts were obtained for political purpose? or t o ? The important fact, and the o??!v important one, is that the revelations g>tn- to confirm what ha; so often bi-en charged, viz , (hat the di?peusa?-y a great source of corrup;iori. In the coarse ot a short ami neoe.-sari!y hurried investigation. several frhorasieR were discovered, one for seveias : undred dollars standing ov:r for m< re than two \ears, and the part\ guilty of 'be Fhorfave never called to a -c??i:ut. If al! the facts in connection with the Sooth Carolina dispen^a-v c uld be sot at and published, ihev ?.ou:d make mighty interesting rfi-iii.g. There is a great deal of rasc.il ty counectcd with the dispensary that has never gone on the broks a-<d is kn >wu only to the parties immediately concerned. Enough, however, i? positively known to pr >va that 'l.edis;e Q iinffo 2c.nnf ftorrnntion : pCliOai y 10 a uugv v%?> vV ~ _ 4 - - , and such it will continue to be as long as it Issts. Is it just as Jrgical to f-ay lbs! a denial of an exarain.itiju of th:i books was for political purposes? CHARLESTON'S VOTE AND THE EXPOSITION. That Charleston's vote in th<i last primary is very inconsistent wiLii her political principles is very evident to every one acquainted with the political history of the State, but we have no sympathy whatever with tho position that the vote of Charleston should injure the Exposition. Charleston ha3 beea opposed to the dispensary, aud of ( course Tillman mast smile now that she vo'es for the dispensary candidate, bat no sensible man should let ihis interfere with his interest in the Exposition. In lha first place, the Exposition is not for Charleston only, bnt for the State and the entire South. It should be a matter of State pride that the enterprise should be a success. It is a narrow view fn >av that Charleston's politics should iuj.rre the enterprise It is almost childish. The principal argument made by the imperialists in favor of their policy, besides the sordid commercial view, is that the policy will be for the benefit of tho^e subjected, that it is the onward march of civilization. Imperialists have had a crashing blow given to their srgament by recent reports as to the kind of warfare raged by the alii wl ?n r!h?n<i. ? The reports are very ugly, and should make all civiiized nations blush that such troops should be sent to foreign countries in the name of civilization. It is trae that the Russians more than the others have been charged with the savagery, bat similar reports hive come aboal Americans in the Philippines. We are accustomed to speak of the Chinese as half-civilizsd. and vet thev have done no wor^e than some of the troops sent there to check their savagery. The dispatch states tbat the condition of affairs leaves "little groimd for the favorable comparison of civilized warfare with Chinese method?." The report is that "robbery, ravishing an:J murder are so common that every responsible person one meets contributes stones from personal observation." What is the difference between these representatives of highly civiliz id nations and the Chinese boxers? The allied Powei shave sent soldiers to China to rescue from and punish the Chinese i for murdering and threatening to mur* der citizens of the Powers, a?d now in turn the soldiers sent f. r this purpose turn a::d do much worse things to these heathen?. Wfcat will the Filipinos and the Chinese think of our civilization and Christian religion? Ox the grounds whi.a have been selected as the site of the S >u:h Carolina later-State and West Indian Exposition, there stands an old colonial home, wnicn was tne scene 01 lavitu comfort and open-hearted hospital!ty in days gone by. It is proposed to restore this old home, now somewhat touchcd by the looth of time, to something of its original state, and to collect within its walls valuable relics of the past- No State in the Uniou,7 perhaps, contaius more of these reiics thin South Carolina, and some of these are not only notable as antiques, but have the added value of i:eing historic. The tabic which Uesry Laurens, President of the Congress cf 1777, used while ho was a prisoner in the Tower of London, is in the possession of a Jady of South Carolina; lew cities possess finer specimens o ' - the work of the most famous of th' early miniaturists than Cbarteite: does, while the old plantation home- j on the Ashley and the Cooper, \?hic in some cases nave oeen in 102 sk.<j. . family for more than two h;ndr;v years, are fall of reminders o: ;he nw .! who made South Carolina a grot State in the early days of the II pnbli'. and whose memories :.iv >:i 1 kept gieen.

While a strictly building and loan association might not pay in so small a place, a company that would advance mosey to ba'ld homes to be repaid in i J mon'.hly instalments would ?! > well j and do inncn towards building up the town.

Oaeofthe strongest letters we bnve seen on the political situaiion is the letter of Mr. O'ney. It is a severe arraignment of McKinleyism, and it presents unanswerable reasons why Bryan should be elected. We expert to hear from President Cievela1 d before raiiiy month?. It is hardly fair to say that Charleston's 2,967 votes for McSweiney and her 573 voles for Iloyt show that she favors the di-pen?:.. /, though i; iecds to show her satisfaction with the dispensary us administered th re.

(."agayan, .viimianao, rniiippino*, July 11, 1900. -I will try and give yoar readers some information regarding the different tribes that inhabit the island of Mindanao where my regiment is now stationed. I will first Jake up :be Mcros. Mindanao is in Mohammedan land. It is the zone ofibeMoro?, and its people are far different from those] living in the northern pan of the Philippine?.

The Tubals ?ie perhaps the best educated and the most civilized of the inhabitants of the i-land*. Below Luzon and north of Min ianao is a coi:ect)on of <>ood hzc which oiay be called tin middle ZDiie. This includes i-aiiay, Negro?, Cebu, Leyte, Samor, &c. These is!and-> are inhabited chief!/ by Visayan?, who are much like the Ta^als, although they are a little moi i qnietand not so rourageou?. They are civilized, having their plant ations and rice fields and nominally at be:t working fur a living, Below the Visayau z>ne lies the third and last zone, vhich may be called U12 zone of th3 Mohammedans or Moro?. This includes the great island of Mindanao, the pearl island of Basilan and the hundreds of islands of the Sulu group, wh:cb may be seen popping up out of the water on the map looking like a series of stepping stones ail the way frrm Zimboanga to Bornes, which, strange to say, is our next door neighbor out here in the southern Pacific. The>e zmjcs, it mast be remembered, are not iuhabited entirely by the above mentioned race\ Each island has its sivages of various trib:.?, who live in the mountains, and there are m-my dlv.sions of the predominant race, the TagaJs in som-j provisoes speaking a dialect which could not he understood in the Tagal provinces of a rtif fcrcnt part of the same i-luid. There re Tiigala living arnoi g the V siyans and a Iar^e number of Visayans amonsr the Morof. The T^gals and the Visayans are Jhris isns; ihe Mor"<, o? whom mere are a!so many (iivi>ii?:if, arc univcstily Ms-hummcdanc. Leaving the Moros for the time, I will write firfct about the savages of Mindanao.

The houses are made of ihitch and bamboo poles and are usually very smuli. To sotn.3 ca?e> thev consist of only a roof and floor, bei:-g withou; wells of any kind and having only posts at the corners to support the roof. These people go almost naked. A man who has just returned from a trip among th.jm says that the men he saw wore squares of cloth suspended from a string around their waists and women wore shirts, which were not more than a foot long. The women had brass riugs on their ankles and wrist?. The meu were armed with bows and arrows and spear?. The weapons were poiioued, the weapons were poisoned, the poison coming irom a tree which grows in the mountains. The Mindayas are a strange people, who live in the eastern part of this 1 u?<rrn.

In addition to these are many other tribe?, some of whom, such as the i]3golos, Atas, Guvanga* and Tagocolos, are notorious for having human sacrifices. Many of the savages are head hunters and all are supposed to be unfriendly to the whites. As to this, however, nothiug certain can be known until explora'ions can be made.
