?roip>i and |artjs. ) ? t ? Says a Tangier, Morocco, dispatch of August 26: A United States warship ^ has arrived here to support the claim arising out of the murder last June, of a Marcos Essagin, a naturalized Ameri- c can citizen, who was the manager of * the Fez branch of the French firm of 0 Braunsweig & Co. Essagin, while rid- J ing on horseback through a narrow street, in Tangier, jolted against the r mule of a Morocco religious fanatic c and a dispute ensued, the crowd siding a with the priest. This was the signal r for a general attack upon the Ameri- r can, who received dozens of knife T wounds and whose body was burned, K according to some accounts, before life ? was extinct. t ? They have a law in Connecticut that f provides for imprisonment for debt. An c Ansonia dispatch to the New York 0 Press says: When Mrs. Margaret Boy- f lan, of this city, was taken to jail be- j * cause she refused to pay her bills, a ( record was broken in the Nutmeg c State. -Never before has a woman been c imprisoned in Connecticut for failure to r meet her financial obligations. Mrs. . Boylan ran up a bill of $57 with Patrick Fogarty, a grocer. She said she was unable to pay, and Fogarty brought . suit against her in the city court. He ' obtained judgment and today swore out a writ on the ground that she was able to pay her debts. He attached her body and she was locked up in the I New Haven county jail tonight. ? It is curious to note that the Earl of j Airlie met his death, not by a stray or ; chance bullet, but by a shower of lead sent at him through the reflection of the sun's rays on to his field glass, having practically heliographed to the enemy's sharpshooters the position of a British officer of some condition. It was said at the time that Sir George Colley lost his life on the crest of Ma- Juba Hin, in the same way, and that the shot which killed him drove some a of the glass into the fatal wound. It is c notorious that since the British officers, 8 whom the Boer sharpshooters have especial instructions to pick off, have dressed themselves down as far as pos- ^ sible to the appearance of ordinary soldiers, the enemy have kept their eyes * open for men using field glasses, and r have already secured numerous victims i in this way. ^ ? Says a Washington dispatch of Fri- 8 day: The question of the withdrawal of the United States from Pekin to Tien Tsin or Taku, has been seriously considered by the president and his advisers. A great deal of pressure has been 1 brought to bear on the administration 1 to take this step, but after mature de- I liberation it has been determined that j the negotiations for the settlement of { the questions growing out of the disturbances in China must take place in the Chinese capital, and that while these negotiations are pending and until they * are completed, it will be necessary for r the United States forces to remain in \ the Chinese capital. While it is recog- v nized that a withdrawal of the forces g from Pekin might be hailed with satisfaction in this country, it is said that s the moral effect in China and upon the 1 Chinese, would be bad, and would be interpreted bythe Chinese as a retreat. ? Says a Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch * of August 24: Louis Peck, the colored s man who last Monday evening assault- 8 ed 4-year-old Christina Mass, at Akron, an! wnose crime is responsible for the fearful rioting that occurred at Akron, Wednesday night and Thursday taiorn- 1 ing, was this afternoon taken from the t jail at Cleveland, where he had been t removed for safety, rushed to Akron, t taken to the court house, and within five minutes after his arrival in Akron, was convicted of the crime and was sen- * tenced to the penitentiary for life at * hard labor. He had been indicted by a special grand jury, which had been impaneled during the afternoon, c Judge Nye, of Elyria, pronounced the r sentence. Within two minutes after the sentence had been pronounced Peck had been placed on board a Cleve- 1 land, Akron and Columbus train, and 1 in charge of the sheriff and an assist- j ant, he was taken to Columbus. 1 ? Says an Atlanta dispatch of August t 24: Secretary of State Cook has received r a number of letters from south Geor- ( gla, during the past week, from the farmers of that section reporting Negro labor very scarce. Cotton is open- 1 ing rapidly and few Negroes can be f found to pick it, even at 50 cents per 100 pounds. The cotton ?rop will be much shorter than reported, unless labor can be found to pick it. As it is, the crop in South Georgia has been damaged materially recently. The rust has spread over the big cotton fields and is causing many of the bolls to drop off. The Negroes have left the farms and gone to work for the railroads, lumber camps and turpentine farms. They get wages that the farmers are not able to pay, and nothing will induce them to return. They are paying 40 and 50 cents per 100 pounds to cotton pickers, and although the average Negro can pick from 200 to 300 pounds of cotton a day, they will not work. ? Says the Washington correspondent of The News and Courier, under date of last Friday: There is great anxiety in official circles over the attitude of Russia and Germany in China. The announcement that the general commanding the Russian troops has said he proposes to go ahead with his operations regardless of what the other powers do, because his government has declared war against China, is considered by the president and his advisers as the gravest kind of complication, opening, as it does, all sorts of possibilities of continued Jrouble. Germany's attitude is also being viewed with alarm. While there has been no statement from Germany like that of the Russian general, it is regarded as significant that the German government declines to accept Li Hung Chang as an authorized envoy of China, and that military preparations are being rapidly pushed forward by the Germans. In diplomatic circles there is a feeling that the Kaiser and the Czar have a little understanding between themselves which bodes more or less trouble to the rest of Europe, and which is likely to in volve this country so long as we are! on the scene with our troops. According to one member of the diplomatic corps, with whom I talked today, the opinion prevails that Russia and Germany consider this an excellent opportunity to force England to show her hand and incidentally to bring about a condition which will inure to their benefit in more ways than one. ? Says a Minneipolis, Minn., dispatch of last Saturday: Mrs. Eugene Crane, of Shanghai, China, arrived today. While visiting at Sinu, 50 miles from s Wei-Hal-Wei, Mrs. Crane was attacked 1 >y a mob of Boxers at the residence of r. T. Elliston. She had been visiting at he home of the British consular agent sarlier in the evening, in company vith Mrs. Elliston. As they started or home about 9 o'clock, a Russian ' iccosted them, saying he was fearful ' >f a Boxer uprising, and that they had 1 >etter look out for themselves. Thor- \ ughly alarmed, the women hastened ^ lome, and had barely entered the touse before a dozen Boxers were hamnering at the door, but falling In this, i ne of them secured entrance through ] i window. Mrs. Crane ran into the 1 lext room for her revolver. When she < eturned the Chinaman was Inside the oom helping another man to enter. 5he fired and the man dropped. The 1 ?ne in the window hung in fun view < ind Mrs. Crane rushed up and placed 1 he revolver against his breast and ] Ired again. He fell back into the rowd. The mob started for the rear if the house, when Mrs. Crane opened Ire again, dropping another. She and drs. Elliston afterwards dragged the Chinaman who had fallen, in the house, >ut on the street, where a half dozen ither dead Chinamen were found the lext morning. ?hc ^(odmlle (Snquuer. YORKYIliLE, S. C.: WEDNESDAY, AUGCST 29, 1900. Notwithstanding the war in China ind other disturbing conditions, the tutlook is that cotton is going to bring 1 l good price this fall. For the past ten years politics have < >een so one-sided as to hardly be in- 1 eresting; but conditions are changing i iow. The individual voter had his say < n the elections of yesterday to a larger 1 ixtent than has been the case for quite < iwhile. I ? , Rev*. F. C. Hickson met Senator Ti'.l- j nan on the dispensary quesli ( darion last Saturday. There was a j arge crowd in attendance, and Mr. , lickson put up sme strong arguments; , >ut the crowd, of course, or a major- ^ ty of it, was with Tillman. ( i The Southern Christian Advocate has ?een making a pretty warm anti-dis- . >ensary campaign aunng me paai 01* veeks. Editor Wilson has done his , rork In a decent and orderly manner, ind It Is quite likely that he had con- , derable Influence on the result of yes- ^ erday's election. In an address to Republicans at Man- ' lattan, Kan., on August 24, Col. Bryan 1 tald: "We do not object to the honest 1 iccumulatlon of wealth. I want a gov- 1 irnment that gives every poor man the 1 lope of being rich some day, a govern- ] nent that gives the rich man assurance ' hat his children will be protected if hey ever become pooa, What I object 1 0 is a government that protects a few nen in their robbery of the masses and hen denounces everybody as an an- ( irchlst that doe's not like to be robbed." 1 The fact that the voters of York < :ounty chose the only prohibition rep- 1 esentative who offered, and rejected i hree dispensary candidates, indicates, ' imong other things, that York is a pro- < llbitlon county. Had there been five 1 >rohibltion candidates the probability 1 8 that York would have sent a prohlbi:lon delegation to the general assembly, rhat Is, of course, provided all the canlidates came up to the requirements In i >ther respects. We do not think the voters of York would be willing to fleet an Indifferent man on the prohibl:ion Issue alone. Although our people , stand for high Ideals, they are not :ranks. Senator Tillman's recent canvass of ] ;he state has helped neither the cause ! )f temperance or religion. It has not lurt Christianity, of course. That is : lot in the power of any man, be he ( saint or devil: but Senator "l.-lman has , indoubtedly left stumbling blocks in < :he way of many a weak, erring jrother who might not otherwise have : ,'ound the way so hard. But the sena- 1 :or will get his punishment. It will not >e political. Political punishment is not i idequate to such an offence. The Scrip- < ures, however, take cognizance of such 1 natters and there the senator may ' ead the sentence that has been pre- J scribed for his case. This, from the Spartanburg Herald, i s sound, and it Is worthy of due con- 1 sideratlon: Some newspapers holu to the theory ( ;hat everything Is fair In politics as In ove and war. This Is a wrong Idea, j Slo man has the right to assassinate. s Because a man happens to be an aspl- ! ant for political office, the newspapers lave no right, moral or legal, to print " statements damaging to their charac- ^ ;ers not sustained by the facts. But ibout the worst form of campaign i ilanders Is where the paper reserves ts rusty load until the eve of an elec- ' Ion, and then flres a broadsiue at a ( ime when Its victim is powerless to re- ] )ly. Tlie moral principle of this sort of i :ampalgnlng can scarcely be dlfferen- i iated from the spirit that moves the 1 ncendiary who goes out under cover of larkness to Are his enemy's barn. Political contests, no matter how iharp and spirited, provided they are iltched on a high plane of absolute ; frankness and fairness, Is allowed as ' vholesome; but voters seldom fail to 1 esent at the polls all efTorts of newspa- ' jers and campaign circular writers to :ake undue advantage. There Is a ] jplrlt of fair play among the people at < arge, and the man who undertakes 1 foul measures generally finds that his work recoils on his own head. It was reported in Chefoo, a fe\* lays ago. that Russia and Germanj had declared war against China and incited the other powers to get out ol the way. It has since developed thai the rumor is without positive foundation in fact. Commenting upon th fircumstance, the Washington correspondent of the Associated Press writes under date of Sunday, as follows: 'Whether in the event of a declaration uf war by one or more of the powers igainst China, an invitation would bs extended to the United States to retirs from China, as intimated in the dispatch from Che Foo, is open to doubt md it is decidedly problematical It is said, whether the invitatior would be accepted, even If tenlered. The United States forces are In China protecting the persona ind property rights of citizens of this country and, in addition, the treatj rights of the United States. Under the most favored nation clause, this country has certain specific rights in China md it is said on authority to be the purpose of the United States to protect and preserve these rights. The altitude of this government In the event of a declaration of war by another power would depend, it can be 3tated, upon the immediate circumstances surrounding the declaration and the situation in China at the time the declaration was made. In any event it car be said to be no part of the purpose ol the Urjjited States to sacrifice any ol its guaranteed rights or privileges ir the Chinese Empire." The five gentlemen who were on yesterday chosen as the representatives of York county in the general assembly, will please be reminded that th< constitution of South Carolina provides that townships be allowed, upon petition, to hold elections on the questior of issuing bonds for road purposes. Before this provision of the constitutior can be made effective, however, tht general assembly must pass an act prescribing the mode and method of carrying out the constitution. As to whether the members of the legislature, as .ndivlduals, are opposed to the principle of issuing township road bonds makes no difference as to their duty ir the matter. As to whether any considerable number of York county voters ire opposed to this principle, makes io difference. The duty of the legislators Is plain. If a bill should be passid and a York county member has fork exempted, he will overstep his iworn duty. There is absolutely nc justifiable way of keeping such a statute as has been Indicated, off the statute books, except by a constitutiona amendment. The passage of such ar ict, of course, does not mean that anj township In the state will vo'e bonds for road purposes. After tfc . bill becomes a law, it remains with the people of a township?first with the freeholders and then with the qualified voters?to say whether bonds shall be Issued and roads built as Indicated. Bui we want to call the attention of legislators to the matter right now, so then can be no reasonable ground for misunderstanding hereafter. And if then Is any dispute or hard feelings over th< juestlon, we hope that no legislator wll attempt to make It appear that Thi Enquirer Is trying to dictate to him The dictation, If it is dictation, come! entirely from the constitution of Soutl Carolina, to obey which every publi< officer is under solemn oath.

Mr. Self s method ar- Soi roused some interest last year; but un- sor ' ' ' *1 ' on wh rortunateiy trie peavme viup wa.o gu ? small as to admit of but few experi- the ments. Here Is the way Mr. Self ex- Bu ) plained his plan to The Enquirer: on j "My method of curing the peavlnes int Is to allow them to yellow up some two set } or three feet from the roots, and to ar . allow some of the pods to ripen. I begin cutting In the morning after the dew Is off, and next day, at noon, If cl? 1 there has been no rain In the mean- 1 t time, I begin raking, hauling and pack- nlr lng In rail pens, ten feet or such a mat- ma r ter square, and Ave, six, seven or eight 3 feet high. The size of the pens is alto- ' gether a matter of convenience. I pack go< ' the vines down as tightly as a heavy- apj weight man well can, being especially Th careful to secure all possible compact- an( ness around the edges. The proper t quantity for a pen is eight or ten 2horse loads. Let the top of the pen be m0 covered with a good water-proof of pai t hay, extending over the rails. It is im. portant that no water be allowed to com* In from the top. j i "Within three to five days a pen of . peavlnes so put up will begin to smoke mo like a small volcano, and it is just at by i this time that most persons will be Ins ; tempted to throw it down in order to let jjui . the air circulate through it. Do nothing of the kind; for It will surely ruin " 3 the hay. Just let the pen smoke all it for wants to. There is no danger of fire, the At least this has been my experience. yei J I have been pursuing this plan for * ! three years and have not had a case w* of spontaneous combustion yet. Last exj 5 year I filled my barn full of peavine thi hay, and the result was just as satisfactory as if the vines had been in pens. * wa "Cut the vines before the leaves be- Mc gin to crumble, get them up without tor ' rain or dew, pack them tight and al- cjj{ low no water to leak on them. , "This is my plan. I have been pur- ?? I suing it for three years, and am today deI L feeding as fine pea hay as is to be ba< found in the world. j ' ^ABOUT PEOPLE.
