The Daily Mail's SnaDghi correspondent: telegraphing yesterday, says: "An i imperial decree has been sent to all the ciceroys advising them that the foreign ministers were safe in Ptkin on June 25 and affirming that the government would protect them. There is no doubt that the Chinese government fully realizes what the safety of the ministers implies at tti9 present time and for this reason there is less uneasiness about them." The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express under yesterday's date, says: "Chinese officials declare they have imperial authority for stating that the foreign ministers left Ptkin for Tien Tsin via Pao TiDg Fu on June 26. They bad passports and were escorted by a strong body of Chinese troops. 'Tt is impossible to verify this statement and the codsuIs here are not disposed to place much faith in it.". j This leaves there whereabouts and safety in mystery. the international army.

And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called motor's Frtatf which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sick- | ness and the loss of the girlish figure.

IEET, iare of Your Valuec 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."

Oct 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.

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.

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. ???? The Trusts. An exchange has at last solved the tt i mi. _ trust question, nere 11 it: me peanut trust should be roasted; the flour trust sifted to the bottom; the cigar trust smoked out; the plug trust chewed up; the iron trust hammered out thir; the twine trust twisted; the furniture trust carved in twain; the metal trust heated hot; the soldier trust melted; the berry trust picked clean; the paper trust ground into pulp; the lamp trust sniffed out; the lumber trust nailed; the bicycle trust pounded; the mule trust buried; the type trust pied; and the pie trust eaten.

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, flhnlora onr^ TVarrhnPQ T?pmertr Wfl V V* M UU\? A UVVI4 J.VVtMVVl > 1 | w 90 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.

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 ? ? ?

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. - That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.
