BY CLINKSCALES & LANGSTON. ANDERSON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1900. VOLUME XXXV---NO. 43. A v " . .* TTS This is a little straight talk for your profit and ours. It was put here for you to read, not to fill up space. We sell CLOTHING to make money. We have no other purpose in selling Clothes. We sell GOOD CLOTHES because that is the only kind from which we can make money, but it would be poor policy to make all the money ourselves. If we tried to do that we would soon cease to make any thing. We want you to make (save) money by buying our Clothes. There is enough profit in them for both of us. The way you make money is by trading here. Your money will go farther here than at any Credit Store. For instance, we will sell you a good Suit of Clothes for $8.50, as good a Suit as you can buy from a Credit Store for $10.00. You save $1.50 on the purchase of a Suit of Clothes by paying us Cash. Do you wish to pay $1.50 more for a Suit of Clothes just to have it charged ? Our SPBING STOCK now ready for inspection. Give us a look. B, 0. Evans & Co, THE SPOT CASH CLOTHIERS. WHITE FRONT.

Reference was made in this corres pondence a few weeks ago to tho situa tion off the Chinese coast, and it was asserted that an understanding of some sort existed there whereby Gre?t Britain and this country would stand together in opposition to Russia and others on any point necessary to the well being of British trade until after tho South African war was over. Cor roboration of this has come to hand in the ?sserl??^.^?10? from there that tho United States', ?rctf?i Sn5 certain other countries has made joint' representations to tho Chinese Empress in regard to tho pernicious activity of the "Boxers." lt is denied by our State Department that there has been joint action, the course of the United States Minister being described as merely "parallel" to that of other pow ers. The facts remain, however, and it is unnecessary to say, mark adopart nre of the United States from the wiso advice of the fathers "to avoid entang ling alliances", and show, in tho opin ion of many prominent men here, that there is a secret understandingbotween tho United States and Great Britain on more subjects than one. It is certain that in the Samoan affair, in tho "open door" negotiations with China, in the Nicaraguan treaty episode and in tho treatment of tho Boer appeal for me diation, as well as in this last deal, tho whole course of tho administration, so far as we know it, has been precisely what it would have been if tho "un derstanding in the minds of the states men of tlie respective countries" spoken of by Mr. Chamberlain had the practi cal effect of a formal treaty of alliage. This is, in truth, said to be the gravest aspect of the McKinley policy bf Asia tic adventure. No one can say how fur it is going to lead tho United States into tho labyrinth of Old World poli tics, nor what it may cost it in lives and treasure to get out of it with honor or to stay in it with credit. But every one can see that someone in anthon ty at Washington has already given en couragement to the British imperialists and jingoes to believe that we aro arm and arm with them for a grand Anglo Saxon coat-trailing promenade in the Far East There is no longer any reasonable Iou ot that Admiral Dewey is being pushed for the Presidency by that wing of the Democratic party that is oppos ed tc Bryan, and will do anything within its power to prevent his nomi nation. Tho ract that goldbug papers io Ohio, Texas and New York have pronounced for him, is accepted as evidence of this fact. It seems proba ble that the Admiral made his an nounce ssent wi thu ul giving notice to anyone, bat it is more evident that his :ause has been taken up by the gold nen. There is something curiously inpractical about bia candidature. It is related as a fact that he and Mrs. Dewey both supposed at first that all ;hatwas necessary was to distribute ^allots with the Admiral's name on ihem on election day, and that the peo ple would do the rest. Afterwards, vhen convinced that a more elaborate >lan was necessary, he proposed to orm a committee, comprising mer of Kith political parties who would orgon ze his campaign on a free trac 5, gold, Democratic platform with Theodore Roosevelt as a running mate. Mean vhilo, he and Mrs. Dewey ore both laving a lovely time. Their home is ?vertun with reporters, their mail hos welled to huge proportions, and they ire being invited all over the country, io wonder that their heads are turned >y so much attention and that it seems o them that they are elected already. Liter a while the pipe will go out, as a natter of course, and they will wake tp. Whether the Republicans can be falle the Admiral into making some ?mark-while still dreaming-which viii prevent his finally accepting the leoond place with Mr. Bryan on the itraight Democratic ticket, remains to ?O' seen. Bryan and Dewey would nake a good ticket! The adminiatration is doing its ut nostto stave off a decision on the itatus Of the Porto Ricans until after he fall election. The Supreme Court idjouras about May 15 until October 8, mly four weeks before the election, [tis extremely doubtful whether any mit brought before the passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill on any pretext ?venid cover the case as it will be after ?ot bill becomes? law, and itiscer ain that the administration does not propose to take any chances en the mbjeefc. The cooa of Ramon Baez, ivho has sued for h?W? coriss is the tap?eme Court, he being imprisoned ?ty the military author!ti** ? ? Perte nico, was not decided on Monday as jveryone expected it would be. The attorney General says that he will not it present prosecute the employers of Forgo Cruz, who waa arrested at Ellis [aland. Nev York, for coming to the United States as a contract laborer, in jrder to f omi?h a test case. The At torney General thus show* fear lest the Courts may decide against the Repub lican contention, and on every hand there appears to bo reluctance to sub? nit the matter to judicial determina Lien. A resolution of investigation, has been introduced in Congress in regard to the expenditures of "Ferd" Peck,- of Chicago, President McKinley's com missioner to the Paris Exposition, who ha? submitted a most extraordinary account to tho governmont. It has been credibly reported that Mf. Peck has taken in hit* train to Paris tho greatest number ot "sons of their fath ers" that over crossed the waters, and has taken them at tho country's ex pense The law requires thc Commis sioner-General annually to submit to Congress "a detailed statement of tho expenditures incurred." Mr. Peck's report was made to the President on ( Nov. 1?, but for Gomo unknown reason it did not drift into Congress until April 2, nearly live months after it was submitted. It shows that under Mr. Peck's direction the sum of $240,083 was expended from Nov. 1G, 1808, to Nov. 1,1800, and the only explanation ofwhere tKfeTffon?Y^? ??^t?inc,? in the following statement: Saraf !?* experts,. $72,040; salaries of clerks, $34,020; officers7 salaries, $17,705; salar ies of employes, $2,732; traveling ex penses, $30,245; buildings, $88,047; rent, (Chicago, Paris, and New York) $18, 430; furniture, $7,252; stationery and printing, $5,403; telegraph and cable, 61,775; miscellaneous, $10,400. Nobody hero knows anything about paid ex perts, while tho travelling ex pen ROB seem extravagant even when Mr. Peck's propensity for vibrating between Eu rope and America is taken into consid eration. Palls a Tooth With a timi. NEW YORK, April 8.-Walter Smith of Bloomville had been suffering from toothache. In vain he tried to extract tho molar with a pincers and string. Then his anger rose, and when his wife taunted him with not having a particle of sand, he resolved upon desperate measures. Procuring a yard ol' stove pipe wire, he fastened one end of it firmly around the deeply rooted tooth in such n man ner that it could not pull loose, and the other end he wound around a var:rod. Taking down his shotgun he placed an extra charge of powder in the bar rel, rammed the rod home, and stepping to the door, he cocked his gan, opened his mouth and fired skyward. There was aloud explosion and tooth and ramrod sailed away skyward. Smith has not since been troubled with toothache. She Skipped The Rope S30 Times and Died. BELLEVILLE, 111., April 13.-A skip ping ropo contest between children caused the death of eleven-year-old FrcH Poign?e and the serious illness of two ether children. There was great rivalry among the three children and others of the school which they attended as to who could jump the rope most. One little sirl established a record of 150 skips with out a rest, and her companions at tempted to beat this record at recess and before and after school. . This feat excited Freda particularly, who had been the champion up to that time, and when she entered the ring to beat the record of the new comer a crowd of girls gathered and applaud ed her efforts. With flushed face and flashing eye she passed the 150 mark, and kept right on till 280 skips had been made, when she staggered from the ring sad was led home dizzy by her companions. She became ill and the doctor could not cure the violent palpitations of her heart. When she died to-day he said it was heart disease caused by too vio lent exercise. Freaks et Lightning. . QKEEN VILLE, April 10.-One of the most remarkable freaks of lightning ever heard of in this country occurred at tho home of Mrs. T. W. Ree, near Reedy river, eight miles above. the city, a few nights ago. Mrs. Roe lives alone except for a negro servant, in a house of several rooms. The light ning struck a white pine at the corner of her house during a recent storm and tore np the ground around. En tering the parlor through a window, that room was badly damaged and pine bark was thrown all over it, while .tho plaster was cracked. Every glass in all the windows waa broken. The bolt then went on to the dining room and demolished things there. The mantlepiece was thrown into the mid dle of the room and half the chimney torn ont. A tin waiter on the mantel looked as if it had been perforated with large shot and a metal pitcher was melted. The lightning went up stairs, toro up the moulding-and disar ranged things very much. A holt also struck tho back yard and wont np a small tree where several chickens were roosting' without hurting them. Three trees were strack and SS window panes in tho house were broken. Vvm, Hoc was awakcued by the noise generally? as she had fallen asleep in fier chair, and when aroused ?he f e-jnd ?u i^pmui me in the dining room. , Every room tn the house except her OW.? was visited by the lightning, and it is very strange that the building was not set on fire. _ y Bettet* fjasaet fcc Cart* by tocal application?, a* ?har ?aa Oe abcue* portion ?rf the nar.
