THE LOOTED CITY OF PEKIN.
From tho recent dispatches regarding
tho state of affairs at Poking it would
sconi that tho allied forces have banded
themselves together for the speedie pur
poso of buding. To tho credit of thc
American military forces, however, it is
stated that tho soldiers have dono little
in tho way of appropriating articles of
value beyond "foraging" for blankets
and other articles necessary to their
comfort, which is done by permission of
tlio uflicors in command, the army
blankets having been discarded during
the mareil to Peking in the extremely
hot weather. This in a measure is justi
fiable; but tho wholesale looting and
robbery as reported is wholly unjustifia
ble, and unpardonable, even tn the light
of tho old maxim, "to the victor belongs
tho spoils." There aro many instances
related of this barbarous looting, and
tho following is a fair example:
"Tho proprietor of a Peking hotel has
bought, it is stated, silver worth over a
quarter of a million dollars, at a cost of
less than fifty thousand."
This silver was appropriated by tho
looters and sold for whatever could be
gotten for it. This one instance shows
a lows to the owners of at least $260,000,
and it means again by the thieves of a
like amount; and to the purchaser of
the stolen property it means the enor
mous profit ol* at least $200,000. As (Jen.
Sherman, put it, "war is hell," and it
would seem that those who make war
aro little better than demons.
This practice of looting, however, is
not conllned to tho soldiers, camp-fol
lowers and riff ralf, as tho following
paragraph shows:
"Some of tho most persistent looters
have been the missionaries. Kecently
meeting one with live cart loads of furs
and antique furniture, Major Waller
asked the missionary by what right he
had taken tho things, and to his aston
ishment was told that they had been
taken by permission of Major Waller.
Ho informed the missionary thai he was
mistaken, as ho himself was Major Wal
ler, and that he should confiscate every
bit of it."
A beautiful example for .. missionary
to set ! With "missionaries" prowling
about Peking on "missions" of this sort,
what is to be expected of soldiers, har
dened and brutalized by the demoraliz
ing influences of military lifo and Uncle
Sam's "moral institution"-the army
canteen'.' The time for reforming the
army is ripe-the army itself is rotten.
lt would scorn, too, that it is time for a
number of missionaries to be sent over
to convert those already there, who seem
to have mistaken their mission to an
alarm i ng degree.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
The Atlanta papers-the Constitution
and Journal-have for some lime been
quarreling over which one is entitled to
credit for the rise in the price ol' cotton,
and at present each is claiming it. Col
ton would have advanced in price had
neither of these papers ever been heard
Of. Like everything else, the juice of
cotton is regulated by supply and de
mand. The supply is short, tho demand
great, and tho price is necessarily much
higher than a year ago, when tho supply
greatly exceeded the demand. Tho cot
ton growers come nearer having tho situ
ation under entire control now than at
any time for years, ami it rests with them
whether they will profit by their advant
age. They should organize and agree
upon an acreage that will not again glut
the cotton market.
lt Happened in a Dina Stoic.

my drug store and asked for a brand of

An Industry Killed.
The following is from tho Seneca
S ews :
"The familiar faco of our old and
lighly esteemed friend, G. Wanner, of
lallapoosa, Ga., was seen on our streets
he lirst of this week. Mr. Wanner
.ice president of tho Georgia Vineyard
Company, which is the largest vineyard
II the Southern States. Ho informs us
hat, they have 830 acres in this vineyard
vhich grows 201),UDO vines. He says also
hat their cellar capacity is 100,000 gal
ons, and that it is full up. This com
?any does a large business."
Mr. Wanner, if we remember correctly
s tho Gorman gentleman who bought
and near Walhalla some years ago ant"
vent to a considerable expenso in set
ing out a vineyard for tho growing of
(rapes for wine-making. About tho
imo ho had his vineyard in line condi
ion tho dispensary law came along am
mocked bis enterprise in the. head, and
10 then moved to another State.
Wo visited tho sito of Mr. Wanner'
in?iynrd two years ago. The land now
loiongs to Mr. I?. T. J nynes, of Walhalla.
U. tho time of the visit these vines wore
aden with the rieh, rino fruit, of a vari
ty that we do not believe could bo ox
elled anywhere. Mut, as the vines
roro cumbering tho ground, Mr. Jnynes
xpoctod to cut them down and use the
and for the production of crops yet iiu
ouehed by the monopolistic ham) of
he State.
Mr. Wanner was among tho lirst to
ein osa tm to that this Piedmont country
< particularly well adapted to grape
rowing. A frenchman demonstrated
he same thing in Greenville county,
nd hts enterprise of course sufforod th?!
amo fato ns that of tho Gorman in Ooo
ce.
We believe the cultivation of thc grape
,'ould add much to the wealth and the
opnlation of this section of (lus State;
nd we believe further that, st) far from
licournging drunkenness, the making
1' wine, such as that produced by tho
rapes raised here, would tend to so
rioty. We have always understood that
inc drinking people are always temper
te people* Whether the drinking of the
ght wines would give one a desire for
lio stronger drinks, whiskey and brandy,
'o do liol know; we do not think though
int the pure homo made unadulterated
ines would.
Anyway tin- dispensary law has dos
royed Ibis Industry almost entirely.
