I ho Ilcro of Three W.irs Applie for Service in China. , Washington, July 20.?Des 'string to further fu'?o to his ; unique military history, Gen Jos^ j epli Wheeler has mmlo application i for service in China. It is not j probable that this nqnest will he granted. At the same time, ad ministration oth-ials greatly admire the brave little cavalry lead I or f<?r his martial spirit and were it not for his age the president would gladly comply with his roipiest. (ion Wheeler will retire on account of ago Sept 1, and for t that reason it will he impossible I to send him to China, i The president has no authority I ior appointing roiirou oitieera for j active duty. Gen Wheeler has already served as a general officer in tlueo wars?the civil, the Spanish and the war in the Philippines. His military record in this particular is unique in the history of ; the l/nited Statos and should he he assigned to duty in China it is | doubtful if this record could he i surpassed in the history of the world. Beekhum Nominated. Lexington, July 20.?The Democratic state convention I nominated Gov Beckham for governor by acclamation this | morning. nr.t'k ham's youth. 1 lie nominee of the convention I is only 30 years old, is unmarried, and with his cleanly shaven face, 1 looks even vnllilirpi1 lhun liii*tt? J I-. J ' j Ho hus served three terms in tne : Legislature and was a candidate i for Lieutenant Governor last year ; with William Goebel, succeeding to the Governorship on the death of Goebel. The term is four : years in this Stale and he is now a candidate for the unexpired term of three years. THE PLATFORM The platform, as reported l>y' | Senator Black burn and adopted by the convention is a severe arraignment of the Republican party and j intimates that Goebel's death was j 'directly due to party manipula i J tion. Tho platform calls for the j j support of the people on the J ! ground of lihorty and freedom. : Hradlo and Taylor are denounced and the administration of Govt ; Heck 1mni is endorsed. Tillman's Unfairness. Yorkville Yeoman. . I Senator Tillman joined the I State campaigning party at Marlboro la>t Wednesday, and spoke I principally on the liquor question. I He disclaimed interference: hut aliened against prohibition, and j for the maintenance of tin* (lis ponsjiry law. Ho charged thoox istencc of an unholy alliance of preachers and bar-keepers, led by Col lloyt. This charge is manifestly un? fair. Senator Til'man knows that no honest prohibitionist has any sympathy whatever with barkeepers or blind tiger*. lie knows that every honest prohibitionist j merely has an aspiration to reduce li<pior consumption to a minimum.

It is in the State Department' cipher and was transmitted j through the Tsung Li Yanicn and the Shanghai taotai. It contains I about fifty words and is signed in English with the name "Conger.'* At u ipiarter to 10 Mmisterl Wo handed Conger's dispatch to Secretary Hay, who immediately called in his assistant secretaries and his private secretary and work was begun in translating the cipher. Mo doubt is expressed bv the State Department oflicials as to, the authenticity of the message. i The translation of it is as follows: "In British legation. | Under continued shot and shell from Chinese troops Quick relief only can prevent general massacre.''

Died Like a Hero. _? | Cel. Liscnm boil at Ileud of His Regiment, Waving Old Glory, j New York, July 21?A World special from Chefoo, dat< d July 10., via Shanghai, .Inly 21, gives details of the battle at Tien Tain. | It says the attuck on the native city resulted in toe narrowest escape of a terrible disaster to the allies. The Japanese delayed scouting, on which everything do- I ponded. The llritish command- j er says Col Ciscum blundered, but the iridium American officer i died at the head of his regiment, , waving Old Glory. The ninth regiment of infantry marched like madmen into a trap. Four thousand Chinese rifles poured u terriffic tire into them. The, Chinese shot the surgeons curing for the wounded. HTOItY OF A SUVK To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. Georgo D Williams, of Manchester Mich., tells iiow such a slave wasj made free. He says: "My wife, has been so helpless for five years that sho could not turn over in bed alone. After using two but tlea of Electric Bittora, she in wonderfully improved and ablo to do her own work.

Several Villages Engulfed bj Lava From Mount Azuma. Two Hundred Persons Killed or Injured. Great Damage Suf fered irt Adjacent Districts. Yokohama, duly 19?.Mount Azuma, near llanduisan, which was the scene of ii volcanic disastor in 1888, broke into eruption TuesdjlV. .lolv 17 Twn liniwlfo.l ^ , , persons were UiIle<i or injured. Several villages wore ti.gulfed I ?v the streams of lava from A/.uma and great damage was done in ad jaeent districts. Editor Shaver and Sam Jones. Editor Shaver of the Dalton, Cia., Argus, gives Sam Jones a slight jolt. Sam said in his recent letters to the Atlanta Journal, in speaking of the hard row the negro has to weed, 4'The public won't let him edit a paper, though 1 think some negroes might heat some white editors I know." To which Editor Shaver replies: "Wo do not know, Sammy, we have seen very few negroes try editing. Hut we have seen lots 4 i ?-i in mum 11 y prcucmug. y villi some negr< preachers do lieiit some white preachers ? especially along the line of saying tenor rough tilings in the pulpit, and in being freer from gratuitous ilihgs at the members of other high callings." r* o Tho Banner County. Greenville county is aspiring to become the banner wheat county of the State. The Greenville News says from reports which are coining in from those who are contesting for tho wheat prizes the indications are that Green-, ville county is destined to he the banner wheat section of tho State. One report shows Hn averapo yield of 4 <> 1-5 hushela to the acre on live acres, another 08 bushels on two acres. A pood farmer raised more than 02 bushels por acre on ten aces. One penileman used sta >lo manure, cotton seed meal and acid on one acre and the yield was 02 bushels. Ui.h beside it ho planted five acres without manure and the yield was eipht bushels to the acre. One acre fertilized made an much as four acres without any fertilizer. i e a * - i ii you wuui to see now political criticism has developed ''pernicious activity" among Gov. MeSfrcenev's constables study the report given out from his olico * esterduy showing what they have done in the month of J uuc,and then compare tho result with the total for March, April and May given in the regular dispensary report. Estimating tho liquors seized in .June at $2 a gallon, the beer at 70 cents a dozen bottles and in barrels at 25 cents a gallon, \vc lind that the .June seizures reached the vsluo of $1,075, while tht seizures for the three preceding mouths?during which the blind tigers were l?eing McSweeneyizod ? amounted to 'only $1,093. Draw your inferences.? The State. ? Railroad Casualties For 1S i#l). Savannah News. The total number of casualties on the railroads of the United States lust year is stated to have been 51,743, of which 7,132 wort deaths. Those casualties are h^ fur creator than the total of tlx American losses in the Spanish and Philippine wars, and arc heavier than the British lossei from all causes in the South African war. It must l>e borne in mind, however, that there wore nearly 1)20,000 person* employed on tho railroads last year?a number largely in excess of the fighting forces in either of the war< mentioned. The Campaigners in Chesterfield. Special to The State. Cheraw, .Inly 21.?There woro , about GOO or 800 farmers at the court house at Chaster field today to hour the candidates for State odices. The candidates spent last night at Cheraw, tho railroad station nearest to Chesterfield, and I a mass meeting of citizens was J held in tho opera house. '?arv. Pnttersou an< 1 Whitman and other candidate* mdde tire minute speeches. There is-a strong prohitiition sentiment in Chesterfield icounty and Col Hoyt will poll a largo vote. McSweeney and (airy ; will divide the rest. This is \V 1) Kvuus" native co.iuty. Mr Ret ry married in this county and Pettigrew canto front an adjoining county. Barney Kvans sailed into W. l>. very vigorously. ' Mayfield spoko as usual. Wharton was not here. The speeches for lieutenant covernor were about the same as I usual. Mr IVrluin was quite j unwell and remained at Chcrnw. Mr Brooker was not in good form either, today. MeMahan rejoined the campaign toduj' and met his opponent, Capers. Cap! Jennings was at the meeting, but Dr Tiinmernian was not. Solicitor Johnson and his opponent, I Senator Brown, spoke. For the first time in the campaign national issues were discussed, and then but briefly. Strait set the pace in the contest for his old seat in congress, now occupied by D E Finley, and the later kept it up. Both advocate the Kansas City platform. The race will be close. There was nothing now in Patterson's speech, I A A I A t ? - a * ?! fxcr|>L mai xiennoiibviiie, in a prohibition county, keeps up the dispensary atCheraw. McSweoney read letters from his constables, his own appointees, to prove his record. Patterson was very slightly applauded, i McSweency nmde a stronger speech than usual and was very well received, lie is running on his record, and if it is not crod't!

Why not take Walt? lie could make a new j platform to suit lien and "would j mine bell on Chicco's street" to |x*rfeotion. G Walt gave a new definition of himself today. "1 i am a kind of business man and i I statesman combined.'' (Jury was received with ap>. plause. lie and McSwecney re; ceived flowers. Gary made his I same speech, except to allude to I the Robinson bill, the local option bill which Col lloyt had charged him with not supporting. IIo showed a copy of the bill to Col Hoyt today and called his atton; tion to the fact that it proposed to abolish the State dispensary and 1 for that reason he had not sup1 ported it. He had thought thai 'Col Hoyt would have the fairness to make thin statement, but he had not done him the justice to I do so. William Hunks. Cumiing Outfit for $IO.
