Tise Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, October 5, 1904. A Description cf Sfokden. Makdec, the city to which General j Europalkin's army ?ed after the ; great battle of Liao Yang, and around which both the Russians and the Japanese are maneuvering, is a city of many names. j It was known as Teingchon by the ^ Chinese L260 years ago, and it bad several other names before it received | in 1630-theMacchu name of Mukden, "prosperity." The Chinese called it Shengking or SheDjang, and its cfn X /i*?1 rt'olnnoo nom a ic T^ATI C tipH. SO <%.L (U VUiUCOb UUU1V ? Q. 7 that it has today-four names. In 1620 it was a very prosperous Chinese city with a well armed garrison oh 70,000 men, notwithstanding whom the half savage Manchu took iz by strategem in 1621, all efforts by the Chinese to recapture it being unsuccessful. MaDchu influence spread rapidly and within a few years they occupied the places with which the present war has made us familiar, Liao Yang, Hai Cheng, Kin Chou, Kai Ping, etc. Magnificent palaces resembling those of Pekin, though on a smaller | scale, sheltered the Manchu chiefs. Along the well laid out streets, paved | with stones, there were numerous and splendid shops, in which Chinese siike, the finest furs, valuable gems, and other rich treasares were placed j before the opulent passerby. Beauti- i fal gardens, temples and cemeteries i surrounded the city and on the western side a Lama temple was constructed in 1638, on the decoration of which much gold and silver were lavished. In this the idol, Makbahsla, j the defender of the faith, found a fifc; ing home. Mukden remained very dear to the hearts of the brave Manchus though they were now established in Pekiu. There were the historical associations recalliug the days of their struggle for reaognition. But more dear to them was the tomb of the founder of their dynasty, which was located only a few miles from the city walls, now in the midst of a beautiful grove of giant pines, in one of the most peaceful spots ever dedicated to the dead. , The Makden of today is an ordinary north China town, a little dirt^ier, perhaps, than some MaDchurian towns, far inferior to Lia Yang in its streets, shops and sanitary arrangements. The beauty of the Manchu tombs, however, seems to make up for the sordiness of the city; the city wall and towers are imposing, only excelled by those of Pekin. Some *Ka nuioaea irtr? in fho irrrnpriftl Ul IIUQ paiOVOO) VWV^ 4U ?MV> city are still handsome, but many of them have collapsed and are stili collapsing from age and neglect. Especially notable are the imperial storehouses, which contain thousands ^ of pieces of imperial porcelain, bronzes, embroideries, and other - treasures sent frcm Pekin to be taken care of. No one is supposed to see , or touch or appreciate these treasures, which are destined some day to meet utter destruction by the fall of the wretched building, which is ss old as several completely ruined -structures nearby. Mnkden has been losiDg much of its trade of late years, having been cut out by the more energetic and less heavily taxed citizens of Kuanchengtse and Tiehling. But it is splendidly situated, with excellent facilities for communication by road, river and rail. It is the capital of one of the most fertile districts in the world, and if it is made free to the trade of the world, f and the open door in Manchuria maintained, it will sgain become a most prosperous centre. ' The ancestral tombs of the ManchuB are situated in the citv of Muk * den, which was the original capital of the kings of Manchuria, the ancessors of the present rulers of China. When Pekin was made the capital of the empire of the Manchu sovereigns in th<. 14th century, the r imperial tombs were constructed in Chifali province, in which Pekin is situated, and & process of time became known as the eastern and western imperial maueoiea. The present war having been brought so periously near the ancestral tombs of the imperial house of Ta Tsing, it in but natural that K. I. j 11. Kuang Hsu is anxious to preserve j the mausoiea of bi3 imperial ances- j tors Dear Mukden from pillage and j desecration?or even destruction by ; | the torch. | Tbe emperor has, therefore, coca[ macded the Waiapu to instruct the j Chinese ministers at Tokyo and St. Petersburg to call tbe attention of ! these governments to the matter, j with the urgent request that generals ; commanding the armies of the respective belligerents be asked to or\ der tbeir troops to respect the impe[ rial tombs when they happen to be | in their neighborhood. f ? - woaaerrai o^iguus. ; | When it ie considered that the I per cenfcage of deaths from consumption is 91 per thoosand against 63 ! per thousand of anv other malady, i bow important to guard against a | slight cold.

Children in the Schools of This Country. I The opening of the school year calls I attention to the mighty force that is ! Represented by our colleges and pubj lie schools It has just been estimat- j j ed that 17,889,000 young men and | ; women and children have returned | to their studies in tbe various instij tutioDs and schools of tbe country. ; This tremendous aggregate comprises ; 120,000 students in universities and i colleges; 65,000 in professional schools j 150,000 in business colleges; 211,000 i in city evening schools;775,000 in j high schools and academies; 1,125,! 000 in private-, schools; and 15,475,! 000 in public schools. In other i words, one-fifth of the population of . fhio AAtinfr.rv in Anoftcrfid in arouirinff j vutu w?.J O'O 1 ?= | education in its various institutions j and schools. If there should beadd| ed, however, children in reform ; schools for deaf, blind, feebie-minded ! and orphans, kindergartens and other ! institutions it would be found that j nearly one-fourth of the population of the country is undergoing instruc! tion, which means that, in proportion ; to population, the schools of the J United States contain to day more | pupils than those of any other coun! try on the face of the globe.

A writer has discovered that many j of the worst foeB of the horticulture | ist begin with "W and he instances worms, weevils, wind and other workI ers of wickedness. This suggests a question as to whether there are any . natural grouping of letters, take "B,1' : for example, and consider how many boons and blessings to a man begin i : with it. The baker, butcher and ; j brewer bring him bread, beef and j ; beer. For additional foods he has | ; bacon, black bass, bream, beans, j bloaters, broccoli, broth, bivalves ' bananas, berries, biscuits, buns and j I butter. After a banquet or bonnes- j bouehes be may bring cut his 'baccy j ' while he bestrides his bicycle. Tbese j j are but few of the beneficent things j included under the blessed letter "B.'1 ] Now, as a contrast, take "D,1' and j ' among the first words we think of ] are damp, dismal, dark, dreary, dank, i dull, daft, ducked, dragged, dosed, ! doubtful, disgusted, doctor, diseased, j doldrums, dungeons, depressed, de- j | spairing, dead, drunk, and so on, the i very sound of which is enough to drive one into doleful dumps. j * - ? ? - , Fall Flowing. ; Fall plowing has so many advantages that it is strange it if i-oi more j generally practiced. The laming cf ; the sod in the &utum. of course, i causes decomposition, which increases the amount of plant-food for the nest summer's crop. Then, fail plowing is oDe of the very best methods of combating the numerous worm enemies of the vegetable world. The surface of fall-plowed fields appears dry in the spring, but beneath this cruvt they will usually be found to contain more moisture than those not plowed until spring. This is because the winter rains can better penetrate the loosened subsoil. The lnnseninp- nf the soil bv snriny ulow- i <J ST C7 k ing admits the air. which means a j loss of soil-moisture, so that during | a dry summer there is often not i enough to support the crop. Of course, fall plowing cannot be recommended for all soils and localities, especially where there is an excess of rain duriDg the winter months. Will do ITc Harm.

Jones, former I chairman of the Democratic party has resumed bis old song of victory, and even the most loyal and hopeful of the southern newspapers can hardly repress their amusement. Poor Jones commands hardly more confidence than does John Alexander Dowie. The city council of Richmond has recommended that the city give $1,000 for the erection of a monument to Jtfierson Davis in that city. There are men who consider an ace the most charming spot on earth. The man who is forced to swallow bis words usually chews them well.

KEEPING PACE WITH DEMAN DS. This Will Be Truly a Greater State Fair?Jt Begins on October 25th? Ample Arrangements. The State Agricultural and Mechanic c-al Society purchased one hundred acres of level land in the southern part of Columbia last spring on which to hold its annual South Carolina Statu Fairs. This change was made necessary because the old grounds were too small to accommodate the large number of exhibitors and visitors who annually attended the great fairs, and the buildings were no longer suitable for the purposes for which they were built. On the new grounds there is room for everything and for everybody. and they are more conveniently situated to the transportation lines titan the old grounds were. The distance is less than a half mile from the new union depot, and the grounds ire reached by several fine roads and by the street car lines, and no trouble will be experienced in handling the large crowds that are sure to visit Columbia. Visitors will find everything brand new this year. The buildings are all modern in construction, large, airy, and comfnvrahle ;i 11 one stor\\ with numerous exits and wide aisles. One building is devoted entirely to the handiwork of women, and is set apart from the other buildings so that the fair sex may enjoy themselves without interruption. Another building is devoted to the agricultural exhibits and implements, and another to the commercial exhibits. Then, the poultry building occupies a very prominent location and is very large and roomy. The live stock barns are so arranged that all visitors can safely and conveniently pass through all of them and see all the stock at any time, and the management specially requests that visitors avail themselves of this opportunity. The regulation mile race track is located in the southern part of the grounds, and is a beauty. The races may be viewed from the Fair grounds if it be preferred to do so. but a large, comfortable grand stand is located at the finish of the home stretch, where the races can be viewed to much better advantage and with more comfort. The quarter stretch is not separated from the grand stand, as was the case on the old track, hut all are combined under one inclosure. thus increasing the social part of the meet. The Midway or Pike is located near the main entrances, and will be filled with all the modern shows and attractions. with wares from very part of the world, and with people from every part of the world. Tne athletic grounds are located just opposite the Midway, on the other side of the entrance. Here will be played two excellent games of football during Fair week. The railroads have offered very cheap rates on account of the first Greater State Fair, and they will run most convenient schedules from all sections of the State. In view of all the attractions that have been arranged for. there is no risk in saying that the large crowd of last year will be doubled this fall, and that this great gathering will be more easily accommodated than in any former year. Every one ought to attend the only big fair and social event in the State. ENGINES boilers. Tanks. Blacks, Stand Pipes and Bfceet-Iroa Work; Bfcaftl**. Pulleys, ?oaring, Boxes. Hangers, eta.
