MANCHURIA'S POSSIBILITIES.: -Resources of Country Are Vast, Writes Our Consul. It believe there is no place in the world where the wagon or cart traffic is equal to that of Newchwang. The carts compete with the railroads in a haul of 400 miIeS or more. writes Con sul Henry II. \l1ier. in the National Geographical Magazine. During the winter months. when the roads are 5rmly frozen. there are not less than 2.000 carts, each carrgV:1 two tons per day coming -,- the port. each drawn by four to seven mules or ponies. Some of :hese carts are from thirtv to fortv dav- on the r,ad. in order to reach the market. It is under such conditions as these that the trade of Newchwang amounting to nearly S2o.ooo.ooo per year. has grown. It is a mistake to attribute the growth (f this tr:adc to the build ing of the Russian railway. The rail ways are just begining to have an influence toward improving the trade of the country. .nd will add much to the development of the productive ness and trade of the country, but that remains for the future to show. T.he country has made this marvel ous growth independent of the rail ways. and what it will do with them .depends upon the wisdom of the rail way mnagement. Before 1902 practically all the for -eign trade in Manchuria came through the port of Newchwang. and the Chinese annual customs returns gave the complete statement of im -ports and exports for all the coun try. This was alter, ' to a consider able extent by imports and exports in 1902 through Dalny. Port Arthur and Vladivostok. In i9o,; the situa tion changed still further, and for -eign imports now enter through New chwang, Dalny and Port Arthur via 'Tientsin, Chin Wang Tao. and thence by rail over the Chinese railway re -cently completed to the river Liao at 'Shin Min Tun: also by the Russian -railway from Vladivostok and Siberia :arfd -Russia. Another important -rounLte-has been opened in Manchuria from the sea up the Sungari river by large river steamers to Kirin. There are no records telling the or igin of the goods imported. American goods reach here in many ways. *Some come from Hong Kong and -Canton,'large quantities from Shang -hai, and some from Japan, while much American cotton is manufac tured tinto yarn and goods in Japan and then shipped to this place. The year 1903 was the best that 'Manchuria -has ever known as to its production. Crops were unusually egood, and prices were also good. 'Both M-anchuria and Mongolia are -marvelously -ich, and, under a good .government, with transportation pro -vided and 'its timber and mineral 'wealth devEloped and added to its :agrictiltural -resources. Manchuria, -will prove one E-f the greatest markets ~for 'United States goods, as we!1 as a splendid field for the investment of 'United States capital. In 1894 and i895 it was the field of war between China and Japaii; in 190o it was the 4istrict of the Boxer movements that were so destructive, and now again, 'in 1904, it is the theater of war be tween Russia -and Japan. Notwiit'hst'anding all these wars, the country continues to giiow in produc tiveness and commerce. Its people are largely industrious, frugal and capable, and need only an enterpris ing, substantia1l and 'honest govern ment to insure them -great prosperity. Manchuria is not yet thicldy popu lated, and farmns are mostly in large tracts of ioo or 2oo acres, and even more. The great commercial dev1 opment has come as a result of its agricultural development and the 'set tlement of the country by agricul tural people from other parts of China. Although the country is extremely rich in minerals, including coal, iron copper, silver, gold and other kinds, these have only been worked in a small and crude way by the natives. When the mineral wealth is develop ed and worked by modern methodis in a manner fitting its economic pos sibilities, Manchuria will prove to be one of the richest sections of Asia. It has the happy combination of a splendid variety and vast quantities of minerals, valuable forests, great agricultural wealth, and an indus trious, capable people, whose labor is. perhaps, the best in the world for its cost. In ddition, it has good water try in which railway construction and operation are very economical. All of these advantages are combined with a healthy. invigorating climate, whose crops never fail. A FATAL BOLT. Two Greenville County Men Killed Instantly by Lightning. Greenville. August 4-Whil shar petun *.nus. a grindstone at the hom o'n.f . i hn P. Clark. near Maub!l1in, Tu sday m 'rning. at 1 ,oclock. a Clark and Charlcs B. Garrett and zer iMns ini red George Thom'.pson. who wvas tandiing nearby. Mem ber- of Clark's .amily who were in the hols.: were ho'cked. dazed and blinded by the hdt. but nenc of them was fatally hurt. It i'z feared that Mr. Thoimpzoll will di:e. At the lime of the tragcdy dense clouds had gatherel. but no rain was falling and th. vict-ms probably had no idea of the impending danger. They had been at work for Thompson and had returned to Clark's residence. The flash came without warning. The first bolt struck a tree some distance away. but the second followed in quick succession. splintering the tall cedar under which the men were standing. Clark and Garret fell dead instant ly. The former's body was terribly burned and bruised in places, the fatal wound being inflicted on the side of his head. His hair and whis kers were singed, his clothing was parcially ripped off and his shoes were literally torn to pieces. Clark's body was likewise burned and both shoes were torn off. Thompson was rendered unconscious and while he revived s'newhat later in the day it is doubtful if he can get well. We'd like to go fishing just once when only the little fish got away.
