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.

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

| 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.

Luck in the Letter "B."
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.
Of course Tom Watson may be
able to take a few votes from the
Democratic party in tie soutt; but
he will not be able to get eDough to
do any harm.
Insomnia and Indigestion Cured
k,Tj4Rt vear T had a verv severe
attack of indigestion. I could not
sleep at night and suffered most excruciating
pains for three hours after
each meal. I was troubled this way
for about three months when I used
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablet?, and received immediate relief,"

Oatario, Canada. For sale by The

Tc Be Enforced.
i
The state board of control is sen 3iDg
out instructions to dispensers to
be more careful about the law requiring
liquor purchasers to file requests,
and requiring that such
requests be kept on record in the
office cf the auditor.
Challenge Declined.
The Governor's Guards have declined
the challenge of the Richland
Volunteers to a drill for the Calamity
Cup, as they did not consider the
drill necessary, and it will not be
held.
Not in the Market Yet.
It is generally understood that the
southern cotton mills have not yet
gone into the market except for such
cotton as they actually need for daily
consumption. The present demand
is from exporters principally.
Singing the Old Song.
Senator James K. 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

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.
