? 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.

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

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.

TO CURE PEAVINES. of
> The Enquirer has been requested to cat
l reproduce the plan that Mr. I. R. Self, bo]
. of Lincolnton,' laid down last year for the
j curing peavlnes. 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
