Admiral Seymour.
LondoD, June 30, 3 a. m.?The adventures
of the hard fighting allies j
under Admiral Seymour, their reach- j
iBg Anting, 12 miles from Pekin, the i
decision to retreat, the capture of
rice and immense stores of modern
arms and ammunition, affording
material for a strenuous defense until
relieved?all this is told in a dis_

ed by the admiralty at midnight,
which runs as follows:
"Tien Tsin, June 27, via Cheefoo,
I June 29, 10:05 p. m.?Have returned
to Tien Tsin with the forces, having
been unable to reach Pekin by rail.
^ On Jure 13 two attacks on the ad ,
vanced guard were made by Boxers
q who were repulsed with considerable
loss to them and none on our side.
3 On June 14 the Boxers attacked the
train at Lang YaDg in large numbers
7 and with great determination. We
repulsed them with a loss of about
2 100 killed. Our loss was 5 Italians,
d "The same sfiernoon the Boxers 1

j Yang Tsun the same evening. ^
"The railway at Yang Tsun was (
found entirely demolished and the
trains could not be moved. The
force being short of provisions and
hampered with wounded compelled
us to withdraw on Tien Tsin with
which we had not been in communication
for six days and our supplies
had been cut off.
4 Oo June 19 the wounded, with
necessaries, started by boat, the
forces marchiDg along the river.
Opposition was experienced during
the whole course of the river from

to the next and skilfully retarding
our advance by occupying well selected
positions from which they had to

F "On June 24 we made a night
11 march, arriving at daybreak opposite
the imperial armory, above Tien Tsir,
where, after fiiendly advances, a
- treacherous heavy fire was opened
while our men were exposed on
the opposite river bank. The
^ enemy were kept in check lry |

tion was turned by a party of ma9

There is no doubt that the Chinese

there is less uneasiness about them."
The Shanghai correspondent of

THE SOUTH AND EXPANSION.
A Sensable, Statesmanlike Discussion
of a Great Question.
Senator MoLaurin in Leslie's Weekly,
"For the future, national expansion
is the hope of the South. Her industrial
development will be hindered
and finally circumscribed without it.
With the new markets it will create
and the power it will give her in all
industrial pursuits, it means the enrichment
of the South and the nation.
The people of the South cannot
now fully realize the industrial
progress made in that section in the
last two decades, nor properly appre
ciate the transcendant advantages to
grow out cf expansion. The transition
from a condition of business
paralysis, produced by a disastrous
war and reconstruction trials, to one
of marvelous industrial activity and
development, ha9 been so sudden and
unexpected that it really seems to
them a mirage. When they fully
awake to the true situation and realize
the wonderful advantage made
and the industrial possibilities of
the South, they will be able to see
what the South will gain by expansion.
"What is the true condition of the
South, and what is necessary for its
f
continued improvement? She has a
monopoly of the agricultural staple
3f cotton, which is the world wide
ii fluence. No other country has
3ver had such a monopoly of aDy
staple. In 1898 the cotton crop was
11,274,800 bales. The cotton growng
region measures 550,000 s-quare
miles. With the proper demand and
ither favorable conditions, there are
jotton soils enough in the South to
produce 100,000,000 bales. There
ire enough horses and mules on the
?arms of the cotton growing States
:oday to make a crop of 50,000,000
Dales. There are 1,500,000,000 peoDle
in the world. Possibly 7,000,000
ire interested in the growing, handing
and manufacturing cotton, with
ibout 1,00,000 interested in its sale,
rhe balance of the human family are
lonsumers. In addition to this, there
ire $40,000,000 invested in oil mills,
in industry yet in its infancy. There
s no bi-product in the world whose
lossibilities compare with those of
lotton seed.
"The South is making rapid strides
n the manufacture of raw cotton,
[a 1880 she bad 667,000 spindles,
epresentiDg a capital of $21,000,000.
May she has over 5,000,000 spindles
md more than $125,000,000 invested
n cotton mills. There are mills
low under construction representing
ibout $25,000,000 more, With the
same rate of increase for the next
;wenty years (and it will be accelerated),
the South will have over
25,000.000 spindles, representing
iver $600,000,000 invested. In 1899
:er mills consumed about 1,400,000
bales of cotton. In 1920 they will
consume 7,000,000 bales. With the
advantage of climate, cheaper labor,
?oal and other supplies, she can compete
with the world in furnishing
jheap cotton goodp.
"The demands for these goodp is
sure to grow with civilization. Now
Dnly about half the people iu the
world are supplied with cotton goods
made by modern machinery. The
production of manufactured goods is
now nearly double the amount necessary
for our population. New markets
must be found for this surplus, which
will continue to increase. Ia the
East is a population of teeming millions
needing our cotton goods, which
are so well suited to the^limate and
people. Our Southern manufacturers
have already reached this market,
and with an increase of our present
trade and the opening cf new markets.
we can find an outlet for all our
surplus product?. The Orient furnishes
the only unexplored and undeveloped
maiket in the world. The
field of trade everywhere has been
occupied. What a dazzling picture
it is to fancy the South raising
50,000,030 bales of cotton and manufacturing
half of it and realizing
the rich rewards of disposing of the
products in the East.
"TheSoulh has a workable coal
field of 47,000 square miles, with a
development of only about 1,000
square miles. Tbe output at present
is only about 40,000,000 tons. Witu
tbe entire area developed, the amount
of coal produced would be hundreds
of millions of tons. Whenthehome
demand is supplied, what an inviting
GOODS COHP.
ronsr, jib.,
I Patronage. Polite and
prospect there will be in the exporta- |
tion of this surplus.
"The iron industry in the South is i
in the infancy of its development. |
Last year there were 2,500,000 tons i
of pig iron produced. With the vast i
iron domain almost undeveloped, no '
one can conceive of the possible ex- |
tent of its production. Markets will j
be needed for this surplus, and these |
can only be found in other countries, j
"Alabama coke has gone to Japan, |
and more of it would have gone, but j
the home demand exceeds the tupply. j
So with the export of iron. The j
Richmond Locomotive works are competing
with the woild in exporting
locomotives, and a Maryland steel
company has been furnishing steel
rails for the Siberian railroad.
"The South possesses one half of
the standing timber of the United
States. Last year it produced
11,000,000,000 feet of lumber. If
ever there is a surplus over home de
3 M?vn >MA?iUA^n f A trrUirtL if
ED1* Li (J, lueu lit; w LuainciD iu vruicu iu
could be exported will be needed.
"With the staple raw materials of
cottoD, coal, iron ore and timber,
the production of which will in the
near future far exceed the home demand,
the South will need new markets.
Nothing can furnish these but j
national expansion. The acquisition
of the Philippines has opened up op
portuDities for creating and preserving
trade in the Eist. Nowhere can
the same advantages be found. If
there is no national expansion, which
necessarily includes and leads to com
mercial expansion, the South will
reach her utmost limit in industrial
development when the home demand
is supplied, and this means the curtailment
of her production of the raw
and manufactured materials and the
vanishing of her splendid possibilities.
"To oppose national expansion is
for the Southern people to oppose
further industrial development, to opnose
the opening of new maikets for
their supplus products, and to invite
the loss of millions of dollars to
the producers and manufacturers of
:raw staple materials. The South is
capable of infinite expansion from
the fertility of her soil and undeveloped
resources ard manufacturing
industries in the production of what
the entire world needs. This expan
sion can only be hindered or prevented
by an unwise opposition to
the policy of national expansion.
The South has everything to gain
and notbiDg to lose by favoring it."

NO TEMPORIZING.
England Will Deal Vigorously With
the Chinese Problem.
Loudon, June 28?Temporizing
with the Chinese situation, so far as
the British government is concerned,
is temporarily past. Her majesty's
ministers have adopted the theory
that the worst may be expected and
intend to act accordingly so long as
the danger lasts. Two fall brigades
are being hurriedly prepared for embaikation
from India. Eich consists
of four battalions of infantry, with
divisional troope; one cavalry regiment,
three companies of eappers
and miners and one field battery.
Two battalions will be sent to guard
the lines of communication. Gen.
Sir Alfred Gmsalee commands this
army, with Gen. E G. Barrow as his
chief of staff. Some of the troops
have already started and others will
i e /--n . e j a jj:
sail ior unina in a iew uaye. auuitional
soldiers will be drawn from
S juth Africa as soon as Lord Roberts
advises the government he can spare
them.
Satisfaction prevails in private and
public circles in London on account
of the Russian communique published
in St. Petersburg, declaring that
the Czars government wishes to preserve
the integrity of China and
means to render honest aid to the
allies in restoring older and preventing
further slaughter of Europeans.
The tews from Washington touching
the probable action of the United
States government in dealing with
the crisis is eagerly read in London.

Praising Colonel Hoyt.
Abbeville Press and Banner.
We have not a word in rebuttal of
anything that may be said in praise
of Colonel Hoyt. We agree that he
is a good man. But we do not understand
the extreme anxiety of the
saloon or license men to elect a man
whom they believe would enforce
prohibition.
It Governor McSweenoy, with an
army of constables, cannot enforce
the dispensary to the satisfaction of
the license men, how is Colonel Hoyt
to enforce prohibition without constables?
And why do license men
waut prohibition? That is the question.
Much of the praise of Colonel
Hojt seems to imply that Governor
HcSweeney is lacking in the good
qualities. Comparisons are odious,
and we would invite no unpleisentnes3.
But it is fair to speak of Gjvernor
McSweeney's official conduct, which
has measured up to all the requirements
as fully as that of any Governor
who has held the office within
our recollection. He is enforcing all !
the laws of the State in a most ac- |
ceptable manner. He has brought
peace to the State. He has discharged
a large number of constables,
and in doing so appealed to the
law abiding people to help and to
cooperate with him in bringing peace
and obedience to law in this State.
The enforcement of the dispensary
law seems to have displeased some of
the license people.
Governor McSweeney, if measured
by bis early struggles and subsequent
successes is the equal of any man in
- 0
the race, and there is no reason oi j
1$
;ober 13?tf ^
miligning him, except because of bis
past success and his future good
prospects. He was a poor orphan boy
with neither money nor education nor
iofluential friends to boost him. But
he had character rni an invincible
determination, and the people will
neither allow an envious spirit to
cast him down nor permit the friends
of license to deprive him of the office
to which he should be elected,
simply because he enforces the liquor
law.
Governor McSweeney is a man of
the people, and his recollections of
the day3 of his own poverty make
him a friend to those in distress. He
has been Governor of the whole people
of the State, and to all he has
been a just Governor. He has worn
no man's collar. He has cbejed no
man's behest. He has heard the petition
of the humblest. He has
yielded respectful attention to the
greatest. He has been merciful to
the convict, when mercy was just.
Lut to the bigamist, wit'i ricn ana
powerful friends pleading his cause,
he refused pardon for destroying a
respectable young woman, by marrying
her when he already had a living
wife and children. Power and influence
could not swerve him. And
this power and influence we believe
is now turned against him. Let us
hope that this opposition does not
seek to elect another who may be
susceptible to their kfluence. For
protecting our homes in punishing
those who would destroy them, Governor
McSweeney deserves the thaoks
of every good man and every good
woman in the State.

He was only 14 years old, and it was
his first battle, aDd do one could
blame him for being upset.
'-Don't be afraid, Johnny. You'll
come out all right," I said.
"I ain't?ain't afraid," he sobbed
in reply?"that is, I ain't afraid of
being hit."
' Then what's the mattei?"
"N-nuthin', only if they want my

Home Made Ginger Ale.
A simple way of making ginger ale
is to boil fresh ginger loot in water,
an ounce of the root to each gallon
of water. Just as you take it from
the fire, and after it is quite spicy,
add the granted yellow rind of half
a lemon. When cool, strain; add to
to each gallon a pound of sugar and
the juice of two lemons. Dissolve

IS IT^HTRGI
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicine?
From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard. N. C.
It may be a question whether tie
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the maiket, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty to say
a good word for Chamber Iain's Colic,

have kDown and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would have save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicity on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on band and administered at the
inceptior of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the prese*:^ of a physician
would not be required'. - A.t least this
has been our experience diking Jhe
past twenty years. Eor sale by J.

The Only Political Pebbles.
Wiilterboro Press and Standard.
At the campaiga meeting in Walterboro
on Monday of last week we
observed that it was the stock in
trade of some of the candidates to
descant upon the faults and shortcomings
of their competitors rather
than discuss the questions of public
interest.
Somewhere someone has said:
"Those prones. to a fault most impute
it." Judged by this, where do
these detractors of other men's
? ? ? A- ? *-? f V\ o flohrviotiAn r.f OH
UIClllC OtQliU ILL IUC ecu Ui "A tivu v* mu
intelligent people ? What must we
think of men whose ideas of what is
right and proper permit them in an
honorable contest for places of distinction
to decry their competitorr,
to magnify their little errors, to elaborate
tbeir shortcomings, with tie
hope of thereby gaining an advantage?
There was a time in the history of
South Carolina politics, but that
time we faiu would believe is past,
when reckless and extravagant
charges impugning the honesty
and sincerity of purpose of men in
office inured, for the time being, per
baps, to the advantage of those who
deemed it Dot unfair to seek political
aggrandisement by pulling down
tbeir opponents.
We do hesitate to say what most
men will endorse, that be is a mean
man who will, whatever his object,
magnify the faults while minimizing
the virtues of another. All meD,
however honorable their conduct,
however exalted tbeir character, fail
and ccme short of the highest conceivable
ideal of man, and the fellow
who is continually proclaiming the
faults of another, while seeking to
supplant such an one in the public
favor, is not to be trusted.
