? Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
created quite a sensation in the
senate last Tuesday by charging that,
in 1892, Mr. Cramp, the well-known
Philadelphia shipbuilder, contributed
$400,000 to the Republican campaign
fund with the understanding that he
was to be repaid in ship building contracts.
Mr. Pettigrew said he had
gotten the fact from Mr. Cramp himself,
who claimed that the fund was
not used for the purpose contributed.
He went on to say that Senator Carter,
of Montana, who was then chairman
of the Republican National Executive
committee, bad virtually admitted to
him, Pettigrew, that Cramp's story
was true. He also made grave charges
against Senator Hanna. Both Carter
?nd Hanna claimed that Pettigrew is
?razy. Pettigrew threatened to give
away a lot more of the itiside history'
of Republican manipulations, but reserved
the story, probably, for another
time. v
? Should the strained relations between
Russia and Japan culminate in
war, American army officers will be
near the scene of hostilities to observe
-and report upon them to the war department.
While it is not believed
that war between the two powers
named is inevitable, yet, in order to
<be prepared for the emergencies of the
future, the department has determined
to send offioers to Pekin and Tokio,
- !?i i? ?3 :
ana tney win u? mmcucu tu mc vyposing
armies should hostilities come.
X<ieut. Col John S. Mallory, Forty-first l
infantry, has been ordered to duty at ]
Pekin, and in the next day or two an ]
officer will be ordered to proceed to (
Japan. The information in the possession
of thestate department respect- *
ing the relations between Russia and
Japan is somewhat different from that
which has been received by members 1
of the diplomatic corps. Count Casaini, 1
the Russian ambassador, has repeat- '
edly stated that Russia does not want ,
war and he does not see how it can occur.
1
? Hon. Wm. S. Scruggs, former con- 1
sul general to China, gave out in Atlanta,
the other day, the following in '
regard to the boxer's movements: e
"These so-called boxer's represent
what is undoubtedly the public senti
ment of the empire of China. That is f
to say, they represent the sentiment of (
the masses in all parts of China. "The (
Chinese claim to be a chosen people,
just as much so as did the old Hebrews. (
Their whole government, their civili- ^
zation, their social system are all pre- i
dicated upon the one idea that their ,
government and their jurisprudence ,
are a revelation from heaven. Consequently,
all missionary work in
China and all industrial and commercial
enterprises by foreigners are look- 1
ed upon by the masses as directed to <
the overthrow of their civilization and i
government. The boxers, so-called,
merely represent that statement. The
enlightened rulers of China, the best ]
men amongst them, do not share that |
sentiment; but there is no government
that I know of that is more sensitive 1
to popular sentiment than China; con- <
?equently, the empress dowager and <
the officials of the Chinese government j
Vinoltata l-rt. antncrnnizA what thev COH- ?
UTOivavv w wtivM^va*..* ?? ^ ,
ceive to be the sentiment of the great (
masses of the people."
? Dispatches of the past few days
indicate that a general outbreak
in China is now a matter of almost
any moment. The boxers are organiz- 1
ing and drilling in all parts of the em- i
pire, and especially around Pekin. I
That the government is no longer able ,
to suppress the uprising now seems to j
be settled beyond question, and it only (
remains for the various foreign governments
to decide what they are going to
do. This brings up unsolvable com- <
plications. The boxer movement is of
undoubted popularity and it is directed
at all foreigners, The foreigners, there- (
fore, have a quarrel of their own. Ex (
cept the United States, foreigners have ,
made a common cause in a way; but 1
still there is lots of jealousy. Russia ]
has about 20,000 troops within easy i
reach; but no other nation has any j
soldiers to speak of. Russia is in a ,
position to put a stop to the whole
trouble; but the other governments,
particularly Japan, are afraid as to
what she might do next, and that is 1
holding her back. There is very good
reason to believe that the boxer movement
is going to be more far reaching
in its results than the boxers themselves
know or care. Admiral Kempff,
in command of the American squadron
off the coast of China, has been authorized
to call upon Admiral Remy, at
Manila, for such ships and naval
forces generally as may be required
to protect American interests in China.
The Japanese are reported to have
mobilized their entire navy in readiness
for some aggressive move by
Russia.
? Lord Roberts occupied Pretoria on
June 5. Approacbiog to within a
short distance of the city with his
army, he sent into the city an officer
under a flag of truce demanding a surrender.
General Lewis Botha sent
back a request for an armistice, during
which the terms of surrender could 1
be discusssed. Roberts replied that an
attack bad been ordered for an early
hour next morning, and that the surrender
would have to be unconditional
and at once. The representatives of
General Botha agreed, and next day
the British peacefully took possession
of the city. About the first thing attended
to by General Roberts, after
entering the city, was to issue orders
for the release of the British prisoners
previously captured by the Boers and
held in Pretoria. During the negotiations
for the surrender of the city, the 1
Boer forces were making their arrange- i
ments to evacuate, and before Roberts ;
entered, the main body of the Boer (
army had left toward Lydenburg, a
town situated a few miles north of the
centre of a direct line from Pretoria 1
to Lorenzo Marques. It develops that '
the Boers all along have been calcu- i
latiog od a stand at this place, and <
with that end in view have for weeks i
been collecting all their big guns and (
supplies there. LydenburgiS describ- (
ed as the centre of a volcanic district,
surrounded by high cliffs and includ- c
ing large well-watered, fertile valleys. *
It is reported that the Boers have im- t
mense stores of all kinds of provisions t
there and that they can fortify the t
place so as to make it impregnable ^
against everything but starvation.
Lord Roberts is now reported to be *
resting at Pretoria and collecting there ?
the stores necessary for a base for b
further operations. The impression p
throughout England seems to be that 3
the war is virtually at an end, and in- v
deed everything looks that way ; oui
still this conclusion cannot yet be safe- *
ly accepted as a certainty. i<

if
? Yes, there is no doubt of the fact tl
that the proposed South Carolina and b
[nter-State exposition will help Char- y
leston j bnt we cannot see how that b
mn seriously hurt the balance of the g
state. d
? The Port Royal people are filling g,
ihe daily newspapers outside of Char- j,
eston with attacks against Senator
rillman for his part in removing the e
iavy yard from Port Royal. They n
nake it a pretty clear case that the rj
natural advantages of Port Royal are >j
ar superior to those of Charleston ;
jut Charleston has the advantage in 8{
lociety and voting population. ^
? "It would have been the irony of ^
"ate," says the Sumpter Watchman, .*
'had the State Democratic Executive
Y
Committee ruled Col. J. A. Hoyt out ^
>f the primary. When the March con- ^
mention nominated Tillman for gover- ^
lor, Col. Hoyt, who was then chair- ^
nan of the State Executive Committee,
vas appealed to by the regular Demo- ^
irats to rule Tillman out of the prinary
as an independent, but he refused s<
o do so. The precedent then establish- Cl
sd by Col. Hoyt holds good and this h
pear he is the beneficiary."

otter from E. Brace Freer, assistant 8<
nanager of the India Famine Relief ^
vork, requesting that its columns be S(
jpened for subscriptions. After due h
consideration we have decided to com- D
ply. The public generally has more 0
}r less information as to the urgency 01
)f the case. The article republished
elsewhere in this issue will give later w
particulars. Sucn contnouuons as nray "
be sent to us will be duly acknowledged 1
and forwarded to Mr. Freer, who will s<
also have them acknowledged in The ^

? Some of our South Carolina ex- e
changes are discussing the question as o
to whether the state will be justified v
in making an appropriation for the 4
proposed South Carolina Inter-state l<
and West Indian exposition to be held ?
in Charleston. We have several times j
seen the suggestion that the proposed ^
exposition is purely a Charleston af- b
fair, and that Charleston has no right A
to call upon the balance of the state ?
for assistance. In our opinion the ^
very announcement of such views is p
one of the best possible proofs of the l
practical interest of the state govern- d
?v?i/v?\/vaA?l Anf AxnKiOO T f 81
Lueut 1 Li tuc piU^UOCU CUUVI^/llO^t JLU
is evident that there is need for more ^
S3
education along this line. Is the state ^
to derive financial benefit from such jy
an exposition ? The question hardly b
seems to require an answer. South ?
Carolina certainly derived benefit from ^
both Atlanta expositions. She derived ^
benefit from the Philadelphia exposition,
the New Orleans exposition, j,
the expositions at Nashville, Chicago, ?
and even at Omaha. We know of 1
citizens of York county who attended P
all these expositions named, except ^
the last. Possibly some were at Omaha
also; but we cannot speak with certainty.
Anyhow, we know that all of w
the other expositions have had their
influence upon those who attended.
Some, it is true, were merely entertained
by the shows; but others were
impressed with the value of different
kinds of improved machinery, the fi
? -1 iL-4 ti
value of natural Dome proaucts mat ^
were previously held valueless, and t(
new ways of doing things. The first ?
roller mill came to this county as the
result of what Mr. G. L. Riddle saw p
at one of these expositions. Mr. Wade fc
H. Hicklin was induced into the Jersey S
cattle business through the influence of $
3uch shows. The introduction of im- P
g
proved saw mill and cotton gin ma- ^
chinery can be traced to like sources, q
and to estimate the influence of such n
enterprises in broadening the public
nind generally would be out of tbe
[uestion. We bave merely suggested
be benefits that bave accrued to York
sounty from expositions a thousand
niles away. Then if York county has
teen benefitted so much, bow much
nore has tbe whole state been benefited,
and with such benefits from foreign
ixpositions what would be tbe benefit
rom 3ucb an exposition at borne in
South Carolina? And if we are to be
>enefitted by seeing what other people
bave, is it not reasonable to asume
that we bave some things that
could greatly interest tbem also?
Czcept in cotton manufacturing, the
dustrial growth of South Carolina
as been quite slow since the war.
)tber states, with less than half our
dvantages have outstripped us. If
re would have our advantages appreiated
we must make them known.
Iring to Charleston a great crowd of
itelligent, energetic, investment seek3g
sight-seers from all parts of this
ountry and from various parts of the
rorld, and no sensible man would atempt
to overestimate the benefits that
rould probably accrue to the entire
tate.
? A matter of importance that seems
o be deserving of attention just now,
? the selection of the two members of
he county board of commissioners to
e appointed by the governor. In its
risdom, the state executive committee
as indicated that these officials must
0 before the primary for their recomlendations.
Probably this* requireient
is not mandatory; but at the
ame time the presumption would be
1 favor of a candidate for the office
'ho would go into the primary whetbr
he should be generally voted for or
ot, especially if he should get a plu- ;
ality of votes over competitors,
'hough of very considerable imporince
is the office, the salary is so
mall as not to be a consideration with ,
3e right kind of a man. The two ap- i
ointed commissioners in York coun- i
p?Captain Crawford and Mr. Wilk- 1
ison?have been giving first rate ser- 1
ice. Being in the race for sheriff, (
aptain Crawford is, of course, not to ,
e considered in connection with can- j
idacy for a primary recommendation. <
[r. Wilkinson has made an exception- 1
Lly good commissioner, and has given j
> the county some valuable time and (
jrvice. As to whether or not he will <
antinue to serve if reappointed, we <
ave no right to assume, further than
lat he has always been ready to dis- f
barge every duty that seemed to fall 1
> his lot. The idea that he would ]
jek the place, however, is absurd. ,
7e do not think the people could rea- i
joally expect such a man to pay from ]
is own pocket $20 for newspaper an- '
ouncements, and twice that sun/ for j
ther expenses in connection with a {
anvass of the county for an office that
aould be seeking him instead. It j
ill be the same with any other man t
rhose services are really valuable. 1
'hen it strikes us that there should be j
)me other arrangement of the matter. ,
Ve think it safer to leave the filling of ,
ffices like these to the governor, up^h {
ae recommendation of the county ,
elegation in the general assembly.

AS COLONEL HOYT SEES IT.
Does Not Consider the Action of the Stati
Committee As Significant.
Colonel James A. Hoyt returned t<
Greenville last Tuesday from Louis
ville, and on being asked as to what b<
proposed to do with regard to tb<
pledge to be exacted from gubernato
rial candidates, discussed the situatior
as follows:
"I am not at all surprised at the ac
tion of the state executive committee
and had nredicted that this would b<
the outcome if aoy proposition wat
made to rule the Prohibitionists out o
the primary. Nor am I surprised al
the proposition coming from Mr. Ap
pelt, for he has been very pronounced
on that line and has stoutly contended
for his version of the constitution iu
the Manning Times, of which he is
editor. Mr. Appelt has assumed tht
very queer position of undertaking
regulate other men's consciences, or at
least to determine what would be tbeii
conscientious view of the matter under
certain conditions. In this matter
be has gone too far, as be cannot
know, aud has no right to know, what
the conscience of another may dictate,
as conscience is not a matter of opin
ion ; but of right action, and is govern
ed by the judgment or decision of each
man for himself.
"Mr. Appelt is quoted as saying
'that no man nominated by a factional
convention could take the pledge conscientiously.'
If his interpretation ol
the yague and indefinite clause is correct,
there might be some foundation
for his conclusion ; but I have heretofore
held that .this interpretation was
wrong and inconclusive. Whatever
the author of this clause intended, he
did not succeed in expressing himseli
so clearly that it was not susceptible
of different constructions, and hence
it was to be construed as relating to
the general election and not the primary.
Under this view I would have
no hesitation in signing the pledge,
nor did Mr. Brunson hesitate two
years ago. I have been requested by
an assembly of friends and coworkers
in the great cause to become their
standard bearer in this campaign, and
at do time will I repudiate their endorsement.
The pledge is an individual
matter and necessarily is signed by
an individual, who thus becomes a
candidate, not for office, but for the
Domination of the Democratic party,
which has selected the primary method
cf making its nominations. I have
received the endorsement of several
hundred others since the conference at
Columbia, and they have urged me to
make the race for governer, (either in
person or by letter,) doing the same
;bing as the members of the conference,
which was to invite me as their
choice to file this pledge and enter the
campaign.
"I would not under any circumstances
entertain the thought of writng
a letter to decline the suggestion
cf the conference, as Mr. T. Y. Williams
proposed, for I am pledged already
to make the race and I am not
n the habit of going back on my
pledges. The Dial resolution, which
has been reaffirmed, was intended as a
straddle between tbe two construc ?
? j?j -i-J? ? ^
jions or toe requireu ineugo nuu woo
30 accepted two years ago.
"I regard the outlook extremely
Favorable for a Prohibition victory this
summer, if the indications are to be
relied upon. The voluntary expressions
from my comrades who were in
attendance at Louisville have been
most gratifying and tbey assured me
that the Prohibition sentiment was
stronger than ever before. These
men were from every section of the
state and their assurances are strong
and confident. Letters are coming
avery mail with similar declarations,
and I consider that there is every
reason to be hopeful of the result. I
expect to be at Orangeburg on the
14ih iostant, with my pledge duly
filed, and in every respect ready for
the fray.
"I do not accept the decision of the
eommittee as conferring any favor
jpon me or giving me any right not
already mine as a Democrat, nor do I
understand the action of the majority
n that light. They have simply
"l~?t!nn on nffiniol Ha.

Baking suggestions for office within

was well aware of the probable action
nf the Prohibition conference, and
[.here was some newspaper urging that
uhe convention make the rule imperative
so as to shut us out; but the contention
wisely abstained from taking
my action that would cast discredit
upon the Prohibition Democrats or
foment any discord within the party.
This is not the time to excite animosities,
and the liquor issue does not
necessarily mean undue agitation
imong the people ; but it does mean a
(veil defined purpose to ascertain the
sober judgment of the Democratic
voters as to whether or not the state
shall continue in the liquor traffic. I
shall endeavor to bring out the honjst,
fearless opinion of the people on
;his issue, and expect to conduct the
campaign on the highest plane of which

BASEBALIi.
The Yorkville baseball team returi
ed from Rock Hill last Wednesda
night, every member of it in a rousin
good humor. The hopes and fears c
thfi mornincr bad become a certain t\
^ey had met the Rock Hill boys in
hard fought battle and won first blooc
It was a great game. Both side
had been looking forward to it wit
much interest for quite awhile. Roc
Hill was well aware that Yorkvill
bad a most capital team, and she bt
stirred herself to get up a nine to mee
it. Fully apprised of what was goin
on, the Yorkville boys had an increai
ing interest in the outcome.
Quite a large crowd went over froi
here. The representative of The E>
quirer counted seventy, and a nun:
ber of others have been reported sinc<
The Rock Hill people showed no lee
interest. Most of the business me
closed their stores and offices, and e
the ball ground, including quite a larg
number of ladies, there were few les
than four hundred people.
The Yorkville team consisted of si
home men and three picked player
from elsewhere, while Rock Hill plaj
ed three home men and six outsiders
including McMakin, Charlotte's cbam
pion pitcher. During the first tw
innings both sides failed to score ; bu
after that Rock Hill piled up five runs
and Yorkville stock went down t
zero, except in the estimation of a fe\
of the most faithful. Presently Rocl
Hill went to pieces on errors, resultinj
from a lack of previous team work
and Yorkville, which was solid in thi
particular, stood firm, holding the ad
vantage to the end. The score resul
ted eleven to six in favor of Yorkville
The batteries were McMakin ant
Swygert for the Rock Hill team, an<
Cbappeiie ana mcjjowen ror me i ors
ville team. McMakin struck out nim
men and Chappelle five. The York
ville boys batted McMakin much bet
ter than was expected, and gav<
Chappelle splendid field support. The:
won the game on allround good play
ing.
The Yorkville crowd, of course, wai
thoroughly enthusiastic over the re
suit, and the Rock Hill people, thougl
naturally disappointed, took their de
I. feat with characteristic good nature.
The entire game passed oflUn the best
of good humor, and the Yoncville boys
generally speak pleasantly of the kind
treatment they received at the hands 4
d; of the people of Rock Hill.
Manager White came in for unanin~
mous congratulation on his return to
3y Yorkville. Although he took it all
>vv with becoming modesty, he was not
)Q able to entirely conceal his satisfaction.
In conversation with the reporter on
3e Thursday, be said : "Yes, that was a
good game, and I am satisfied with it.
of It was largely the result of the hard
in work we have been doing on the
practice grounds during the past five
or six weeks. It is work that tells,
1(j and that is the only way you can do
30 it. But I am do less gratified at the
handsome backing our home people
gave us in going over to see the game.
re We are playing to entertain the peolQ
pie and the more interest they take,
^ then the more we are interested."
The Yorkville team left for Union
PO
Thursday afternoon with the intention
^ of playing there yesterday afternoon
