CHINESE KILLED THEIR OWN WOMEN.
Che Foo, .July 19. ? Before the
Chinese left the native city of
Tien Tsin after their defeat last
Saturday they killed all their
own women to prevent them from
falling into the hands of the
foreigners. The streets and houses
of the native city were tilled with
Chinese dead which the flaming
city cremated.
Russia and Prince Tuan Said to
Have a Secret Understanding.
New York, July 19.?A .Journal
despatch from Shanghai says
Russia is secretly negotiating
with Prince Tuan. The next
step, it says, is to invite the Czar
to restore order in China. Itj
will he represented to Christendom
that the empress dowager
herself actually ordered the
slaughter of the envoys. NVheo
Russia invades China her forces
will be joined by Prince Titan's
troops. Li Hung Chang, there is
now littlo doubt, is also acting in
concert with Prince Tuan.

England and Germany Will l)eelate
War Against China.
London, July 19. ?The British
and German governments, alarmed
at the idea of this eventuality,
have decided to abandon the
policy which they have pursued,
apd to declare war upon China,
tus placing themselves in line
with Russia, and France and the
United States aro expected to follow
suit immediately.
France has, indeed, already issued
a decree forbidding the sale
of arms or war material of any
kind to the Chinese, while Germany,
which has already prohibited
the Chinese envoy at Berlin
from communication with his
government, except through the
German foreign otfce, is preparing
to give him his passports.
Here in Ixindon the Chinese
minister has already packed his
belongings, removed his hoys
fromthe schools und cancelled nil
his engagements, so as to he ready
for immediate neparture.
In additional to the courts of
the imperial Chinese army, which
has invaded ^Siberia with orders
to drive ail foreigners out of the
rich gold hearing Amur province
of the czar, there are live other
corps, one of which is engaged in
destroying the Russian railroad in
Manchuria and in driving all the
foreigners, especially the Russians,
from the northern portion
of the empire ; another is to oc- j
cupy the road between Pekin and 1
Shan Ilai Kwan ; yet another is
to concentrate at Nankin, while |
columns are being directed in hot ,
haste to Tien Tsin, to the borders j j
of Korea and to the neighborhood ,
of Shanghai.

For The Ledger.
The Church of God.
A church of God is, according
to the Scriptures, composed of
those who are sanctified in Christ
Jesus and called to the duties,
responsibilities, and privilege# of
Saintship. We as a church, as a
state, as a nation, profess to the
world that we are christians. If
so, let us prove it if wo can. 1
believe we will make a tailure.
Why ? Because it is written, *
"Thou 8lmit worship the Lord 1
thy God and him only shalt thou *
serve." Have wo done it ho
cording to the commandments of
God, if so, wherein have we done
it? hy putting ungodly men in
our legislative halls, and our 1
governor's chair, that have made
laws that are in conflict with tho
will of God and ruinous to man- 1
kind. The gospel says, "Lay '
hands suddenly on no man, ncith- 1
er ho partaker of other men's '
sins, keep thy self pure.
Thou shalt provide out of all
the people able men, such as fear
God, men of truth hating covet*
ousness ; For he that biddeth an
ungodly man God speed is pirtaker
of his evil deeds.
The God of Israel said tho 1
Rock of Israel spake to me, He
that ruleth over men must be
just, ruling in tho fear of God."
Have we complied with these commands.
Any man with half j
sense knows, that to license the
manufacture and traffic of intoxi*
eating drinks, is to stimulate and
cause murder, rape, incendiarism,
theft, blasphemy and every other
sin tnat the devil ever did or can
devise. "Woe unto hitn by whom
the offense cometh." "Thou (
therefore which teachest another, ,
teachest thou not thyself ? Thou
that preachest a man should not
steal, dost thou steal ) Thou that
safest a man should not commit
adultery, dost thou commit adul- 1
tery i Thou that abhor rest idols,
dost thou commit sacrilege ?
Thou that makest thy boast of the
law through breaking the law dishonored
thou God ? For the 1
name of God is blasphemed
among the Gontiles thiough vou." i
The name of God is often dishonored
by his enemies because of
me iuu( nsisieneies onus professed
friauds.
"Let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from (
iniquity. Cursed he he that 1
doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully."
The love and service
of the world is idolatry. Are we
idolaters i Why do other nations i
kick at our religion ? I say ho- 1
cause it is not Christ's religion.
"Christ said overcame evil with
good. Let your light so shine f
before men, that they may see
vour crood wnrU nn<l ?!.? ;#?
o ' I
your Father which is in heaven." |
Strong drink is the fount from 1
whence we get a great deal of our ,
revenue to support us in our so* <
called christians war, to furnish *
largo guns and other instruments
of death and when we effect a
landing a liar room is among ' j
the first things that we establish. <
I dont blame other nations for
kicking at such religion. 1 would

"Go ye into all the world and i
preach My Gospel to every creat
Lire Behold, I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of wolves; be
ye therefore wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves. And why t all |
ye me, Lord Lord, find do not the
things which I say ( He ye not
deceived God in not mocked, for |
whatsoever a man soweth he also j
shall reap." We have been aowing
whiskey and reaping drunkards,
death, and ruin. A word
to the preachers. ''Son of man, <
I have made thee a watchman,unto '
1
the house of Israel: Therefore j
hear the word at my mouth and
ive then warning from me. Ez.
*:17. Son of man cause Jerusalem,
.o know her abominations. Ez.
16:2." May God give you suf
icient grace, and moral courage
that you will cause South Caroina,
to know her abominations.
J may wo truly repent of our
?ins, and go to God and live.
"Woe to him that buihleth a
town with blood, and ej-tablishoth
i city by iniquity. Woe unto him
that giveth his neighbor drink."
J do not that abominable thing
.hat God hates, and that will destroy
both soul and body.

The political meeting at Dillon,
in Marion county, was a groat
Hoyt and Livingston ovation.
1'ho newspaper correspondents say
that that section of Marion county
can undoubtedly be put down as
solid for those two candidates. A

that Hoyt is undoubtedly far in

Letter From One of Our Boys
at Hartsville.
Dear Editor:?We boys have a
good time down here?nothing to
tlo but work and oat. You may
guess that the last part of the
program is always carried out to
[>erfection.
The crops around Hnrtsvillo
can hardly be classed among the
nrdiniirv Tn? r>r?rn ornn !
J. ~.x,r .o ^IMUJ
and the cotton crop averages very
fair. Water melons and peaches
are abundant, and there is a scatter
of hard cider which is considered
the finest of fruit. 1 can't
just quite tell whether the cider
is really hard or just hard to get.
Hartsville seems to be holdinir
her own in progressive circles.
Sho is stoadly and surely building
up. The high school at this place
is in a thriving condition. The
new dormitory for girls,in course
of construction, will bo completed
some time during the fall and
wi'l be ample for the occommodalion
of eighty girls or more.
The company hopes to have the
new oil mill, which is now in
course of erection, running by the
opening of the season. It will lie
an up to date mill and fitted up
with the latest improved machinery.
The new cotton mill, which is
to be n. two hundred on?l ?#?..
? . . w ..vvt c?iiv4 uii y
thousand dollar enterprise, will
he under course of construction
soon, and will he pushed to completion
at the earliest time possible.
There is not anyone around our
town that seems to be interested
very much in politics or any other
kind of ticks.
For fear of a consignment to
the waste basket, 1 will ask you
to excuse the reverend.
Oi.o Steve.
