Should Japan whip Russia, in less than three years from the time she did it, she would try her hand on England or the United States. Don't let anybody run away with the Idea that the Japs are going to run Russia off the face of tbe .earth. Before the little yellow fellows get j through with the job they have under j taken they will feel like quitting. Ajj unknown masked negro entered the home of Mrs. a. J. McMillan at Ivanhoe, Va., on Thursday and knock ed her down and robbed her of 8100. Ladies left alone should see that the house is secure against the intrusion of such scoundrels. James Bowman, aged 16, shot and killed bis l.'ather at Roanoke. Va., on Sunday. The father was beating his wife, when the son interfered, with the above resnlt. This is a sad case, but who can blame the boy for pro tecting his mother from his brutal father. Some enthusiastic Japanese sym pathizers in London predicts that the war will be over by July 1 and that Japan will win. This prediction will never come true. In the first place Japan will not win and in the second place Russia will just begin to get mad good by the first of July. J. R. Ball a young white man from Campobello in Spartanburg Coun ty, forged two names to a note and got $75 on it from a Spartanburg bank and then fied. He was caught in 4Mansfield, La., on Friday and will be 'brought back for trial. This is a sad case, and should be a lesson to other young men. s A New "Iowa idea" has broken out. A bill before the legislature makes it | necessa::y for a prospective bride and groom to furnish certificates of repu table physicians that they have been thoroughly instructed in the course pr.scribed 'by law concerning the causes of disease and the birth and rearing of children. It is said that Senator Platt of - Connecticut is quite disgruntled be cause there was "great cheering" in Havana when tbe American tlag was superseded by the Cuban. He thinks our army shc.uld have been kept there till the rulers had given some ade quate assurance that they would not repudiate his amendment. An exchange thinks "it is a some what remarkable thing that Great Britain and the United States, which are Christian nations, should give their sympathy to Japan, a heathen nation, in its war with Russia, which is a Christian nation of the mosi ardent and fervent sort." With Eng-1 land and the Uuited States it is dol lars and cents, not religion. Senator Marcus A. Hmna died on last Monday morning At Washing ton. He was sick about a week, when the end came. He was an active pol itician and was very prominent in the Republican n?.rt,T. Ho was sens ed of many political sins, but now that he is dead let us see nothing but what was best in bis life. The Spartanburg Journal says: "The reason Mr. Hearst has such a big lead on the other candidates for the Democratic presidential nomina tion is that he is the only candidate who represents the people. All the others represent the trust.*' This is true, but Hearst lacks a heap ot hav ing a majority of the delegates for him. The Darlington News says: "With good business management the dis pensary ought to pay all expenses of the state government and there should be no necessity of levying any raxes ? on the people. A live, hustling busi ness man would clear probably 82, 000,000 if be had such a monopoly." | He mi?ht, but he would have to ''doc tor" his whiskey like smoke to do it. The extra session of Congress did not one thing except- pass a joint reso lution granting $250,000 in mileage to members. Then they spent a day undoing it. The State Department was embarrassed by the law requir ln?? ? ? tr\ nrlnf in n pflnoritft h.mnrl j ? ? - - - - a - - - ? volume the acts of each session of Congress! It was a volume of empty sages. Why Whip Children? We fully agree with the New York American that those teachers in the New York schools who have petition ed the school board for the restoration of corporal punishment in the public schools of that city are reactionaries, deserving of no encouragement what ever. We have long since been of the decided opinion that there should be no whipping of children in the public or private schools. "Indeed," as the American puts it, the teacher who cannot control his or her pupils with out the use of the rod confesses unfit ness for his or her profession. There are plenty of punishments that can be inflicted upon children without treat ing them as if they were vicious beasts, to be governed only through fear of physical pain. In the case of incorfigibles, they can be expelled. The cane, the whip, degrades alike the teacher who employes it and the child on whom it is laid. The instil ling of self-respect is the most impor tant part of education, and the boy who is whipped suffers a lasting wound to his self-respect. Every blow strikes his forming character and brutalizes him. Teachers are human, and the possession of power to inflict pain not uncommonly breeds the desire to in flict it. For the sake of the teacher as well as the scholar, therefore, the op portunity to be cruel should not be furnished in our schools. No. doubt there are many unruly boys hard to manage, but it is the teacher's busi ness to solve the problem of manage ment, and to solve it in a civilized way. We will venture the assertion that the teachers in our local graded school whose classes are doing the best work, and whose pupils are mak ing the best progress, are the teachers who do the least whipping. Upon in vestigation it will be found that these teachers are ioved, not feared, by their pupils, and that Is the reason why their pupils do better work. What is said above about teachers applies with equal force to parents. Children at home can be ruled with love instead of fear if parents will only remember that childreu are nothing more nor less than little men and women, who can be deeply touched with kindness tne same as grownup men and women can be. We believe that many a good boy has hnen ruined by being whip ped, when be needed a lesson in kind ness. He may have been what we com monly call a bad boy, but whipping was not what he needed. We say this, be cause we have seen so many boys of this kind that whipping after whip ping did no good. We always think in such cases what a pity the parents did not try kindness instead of punish ment. The Yellow Peril. As we see it, a Japanese victory over Russia would be one of the worst things that could happen for the civilized world. We agree with the view taken by an eminent German J statesman, who thinks that it would be better for Russia to predominate in China rather than Japan. He goes on to say that "the common talk in ministerial quarters is that this is not a simple contest for territory in Corea or Manchuria, but rather a combat of civilizations and of race ideals, and if one must choose between the white and the yellow, Germany stands by the white." We know that Russia has not acted wisely, and that Japan j hassuflicient r?'*sons for ranking war We recog?zes also that other powers have cause for complaint in that Russia did not keep her promise to evacuate Manchuria, and among these powers ar-j Germany, which now holds opinions identical with those of the United States concerning the "open door." But, beyond these considera tions there are, according to this very high German official, greater con siderations of statesmanship which prompt Germany to withhold its sympathy from Japan, and to hope Russia will not be vanquished. Japanese victory is believed by this official to mean that Japanese in fluence would be supreme in China, and that the cry would go up "Asia for the Asiatics." He believed also j that territorially and economically Great Britain, Germany and the; United States would, in the event of' Ja nan's winning, h*? oxnelled from the East. In Germany there is foreseen a state of affairs when Japan shall have trained several million Chinese soldiers and sailors and inspired them | as Cordons "ever victorious army" Wets inspired by successful and 1 thoughtful leadership. The "yellow peri!" is cjavictiun in Germany and It will be in other parts of the world too, should Japan prevail over Russia. Rfulcy'n Mistake. Muley Hassan, sulan and sublime autocrat of Morocco, by making the mistake of his life. Is on the high road to the acquisition of modern wis dom and the ways of a la American. , Muley is up against the American habit of circular totters. The case of Muley Hassan is calculated to evoke a feeling of sympathy from more civiliz ed persons v:!:;; have sufl'ercd from the j energy of the soliciting profession. Asked by an enovy of the World's. tt'ilir ti\ ?> nnrnnrla to n rminrl cum for! a Moorish exhibit he haughtily turn-1 ed down me request. More letters j followed urging the expenditure and | the absolute Moor repeated his refusal. Still uhw letter^ ouiluiUou Lo come until the harassed potenate summon ed the energetic agent, gave him 350,000, told him tu give it to the Fair or pnt it in his pocket?only to stop'?the letters. He did not know where St. Louis is and did not wish to. All he asked was that he be left undisturbed by further importunity. Many men have felt a similar desire to escape the perseverance of energe tic agents. But few have 850,000 to give for peace. As the sublime Muley can levy that expenditure on his subjects he may afford the price. If he but knew it he has taken a sort of revenge in the trouble he will put the .World's Fair managers to as to how they shall account for the 50,000. Will they get up a pseudo Mooris exhibit or will they cannily transfer the contribution to their condition? On the other hand, the untutored Moor little knows the future sorrow he has laid up for himsel. He gives up 50,000 to escape the importunities or letters and be permits the know ledge to be advertised to tbe world. The unforunate ruler will learn too late that he has taken just the course to ?nsure that swamping of what postal facilities Morocco may have under a flood of begging letters. From this invasion he can only escape by ordering his entire postofPce de partment thrown into prison. The Mileage Steal, The mileage question provides an interesting subject for discussion among the members of congress. There was no recess between the spe cial and the regular session of con gress, and yet many members insisted that they were entitled to draw mile age, not only for the special session, but also for the regular session. The New York World says that the Re publican majority of the house were willing to vote this mileage money for traveling to their homes and back although the traveling had not been done. The World points out that "the legal larceny would have varied from a comparatively small sum for the New Yorker to 81,200 to each for some Pacific slope members." The situation with respect to this pro posed steal is described by the World in this way: "A provision to pay this ?jileage was actually drafted into a pending bill. It was even carried by a yea and nay vote. But when tellers were demanded, when every member knew that he must go on tecord, not one man stood out for the steal. Its open advocates in private speech, the men who had raised their voices for It in oral vote, were afraid to stand out in tbe open. And now these virtuous statesmen are hoping that the senate will restore the mileage item in the urgent deficiency bill and 'compel the house to accept it.' Not If publicity can prevail! Thp enm*1 fear of public opinion which impelled j tbe mileage grabbers to unhand their j spoil will again be potent to restrain | them. Thieves do not plunder where a bright light buius." Good Roads Needed. In an address which he recently delivered, O. P. Austin, statistician of the department of commerce, ad vanced the proposition that the real secret of the method to keep the bright youth of the country on the farm is to furnish good roads. The extension of the rural free delivery nod of telephone linns are all steps in the direction of ameliorating country life and making it more attractive to young people; but after all, the ex tension of a good road system will do more than all other things combined. According to this view, which seems sound, bad roads do more than any thing else to promote isolation, dis couragement and disgust among coun try people. Good roads promote at tendance at school and at church. They make social gatherings, literary socie ties, dramatic entertainments and club and lodge meetings possible dur ing the winter months. In the absence of good roads, the farm family has to hibernate during there or fourl months in the year, so far as social life is concerned. With good roads. I the same months could readily be made the most plasant and intellectually' the most, profitable of the year. The i arguments in favor of good roads are many. The commercial aspect has naturally been the one to which the largest attention has been paid, be cause alter all the bread and butter question absorbs the largest share of the time of the average human being. There are many others. Nut the least important of them is that to which Mr. Austin directs attention, the added attfactions which country life will have when communication is so easy as it will be u hen lino roads are intersecting every rural district. It Is Not Suicide. Referring to Mr. Bryan's Lincoln speech, the Pittsburg Post says: "It is the autocratic fiat of a dictator who declares my ways are the only ways and my thoughts the only thought. The Democratic party of these states will reject the idocy of suicide to which they arc asked." The Com moner says instead of being the u?p.toe??.He fiat of a dictator," it is the earnest appeal of a Democrat who believes that the principles of Jeffer son and of Jackson should control the Democratic party. It is the earnest api-'triii ol cue who loves his party that that party be true to its princi ples by remaining true to the people. It is the protest of a Democrat, who believes that the hopes of the people depend upuu the Democratic party's fidelity to its principles, against the republicanization of the party, and the delivery of the party's affairs into the merciless keeping of the represen tatives of special interests. To advise the Democratic party to remain true I to the people is not counseling suicide. It is suggesting the only plau whereby \ the party can obtain new life and new power and ultimately win a victory that will be worth having, because it will be a victory that will bring sub stantial results to the people. The Great Generals. Some interesting statistics as to the various generals who served in the civil war were recently presented in a talk before the Oneida Historical so ciety at Utica, N. Y., by State His torian Hugh Hastings. According to the New York Times, Mr. Hastings recalled that at the outbreak of the war for the Union Ulysses Grant was a tanner; McClellan a railroad presi dent; Sherman a banker id New Or leans; Rosecrans, Hooker, Slocum, Halleck and Burnside were also out of the service; Tbaraa* was a major in the Second cavalry; Meade a captain of engineers; Sheridan had just been promoted first lieutenant in Grant's old regiment, the Fouth infantry; Hancock was a captain in the quarter master's department; Schofield was a first lieutenant of artillery;| Granger was a first lieutenant. Most of the officers who afterward became distin guished in the confederate service, had continued in the army from the time they were graduated from West Point to the breaking out of the war. Lee was colonel of the First cavalry; Albert Sidney Johnson colonel of the Second cavalry; J. E. B. Stuart a cap tain of cavalry. Hood first lieutenant of cavalry; Joe Johnson quartermaster general of the United States army; Beauregard captain of engineers; Longstreet a major in the pay corps; Stephen D. Lee first lieutenant of ar tillery; Bragg had resigned in 185G, and Stonewall Jackson was an instruc tor in the Washington and Lee Uni versity at Lexington. Va. "Insurance that Insures." For the information of our policy holders and all others who wish to get fire insurance in an old and reliable company. I publish the following let j ter from William J. Jones, President of the Milwaukee Mechanics' Fire In-1 surance Company, dated at Milwau kee, Feb. 10th, 1904: "We are pleased to advise that our loss in the Baltimore conflagration will not exceed 8200,000.. "Considering the Company's great financial strength, with total availa ble assets of 32,926,281.42, wjth a net surplus over all liabilities ft 81,387, 209.12, it will not cause a ripple or disturb the Company's methods of underwriting in the slightest degree. Such disasters are anticipated and in no way affect the stability of our strong crmpany. "This is also another lesson that it pays to get insurance that insures. Our adjusters are now in Baltimore paying in cash all loss claims." Moral: Get iire insurance in the Milwaukee Mechanics' Insurance Com pany, and "lie down to pleasant dreams." Stiles R.

Notice. $100 WILL BE GIVEN FOR A receipt of a remedy that will do more for stock than J. M. Way's Horse and Cattle Powders and Worm Tab lets. It is a powerful remedy yet harmless and mild. It acts on the kidneys, purities the blood; loosens up the hide, causes them to digest their food and rids them of botts, grubs and all other worms of different species that stock is plagued with. It tones] up and vigorates the animal, and causes them to gain in flesh from 2 to { 4 pounds per day. I advise all stock Owners to keep a supply on hand and give it to their stock. Tlit re is no risk in doing so. It has been thoroughly tested and will do all I claim it to do. Only 35c for the first ten day's treat ment, and it costs very little after the first ten days to keep your stock in good condition. This is an honest compound, com posed of 9 different medicines. Some our forefathers used with great, re suits, and other newly discovered rem edies added; which makes it beyond a doubt- the best on the market. J. M.

Hudson, Manager of lower South Carolina for the CHICAGO PORTRAIT COMPANY, is in the city with a corps of solicitors who are showing samples and taking orders for enlarged work on a system that meets public approval. The acme of perfection attained by this Company commends them to our considerat ion. A new process to the trade permits the Company to assure their patrons of an absolute reproduc tion of every feature the photograph contains; no mcney is collected until the portrait is delivered. A high standard of work is their aim, yet their prices appeal to all de siring artistic enlargements. A fully paid-up Capital of one-half million dollars is a comfortable assurance to their patron*, this being the only con cern of its ki.id whose financial and business methods are recognized by Dunn. Bradstrett and other financial agencies. Ability to please and fair treatment cf the public has developed a business of such magnitude that an average of two thousand finished pictures are snipped daily from their studios. Any young man of integrity and go d character, who enters their ser vices; can qualify for positions of re sponsibility ana trust, that yield handsome incomes. The ever-increas ing force of solicitors demands more managers, and promotions come rap idly. Mr. Hudson has established headquarters at the Smoak House and can explain to those interested the svstem of operation. February 15,1904. Card cr Thanks.
