Tiie largest nutueiicu ol tue Sanson
was in attendance, and all were
pleased with the songs and scriptural
quotations rendered by the '
children.
Mrs. Geo. W. Butler, daughter
of Mr. J. Q. Cousart, left Monday '
evening for Alabama City-, Ala., to
join her husband, whoso departure
for that city was noted in these
columns two weeks ago. Mrs. Iiutler
was accompanied as far as :
Charlotte by her brother, Mr. Earle
M. Cousart.
Mr. W. M. Crook is teaching the

of the school, the enrollment of
scholars is not as large us it will

Editor J. J. Hull, of the Rock
Ilill Herald, has announced his
candidacy for the Legiclature. Mr.
Hull will probably receive a flattering
vote in this township. There
ore five other candidates in the j
field; but as York county elects
oidy four members of the Legislature
there must necessarily be a
pair of the candidates left at the
post.
At a meeting of the local camp

Coltharp and \Y. I. Jones wore

Fort Mill is at presont experiencing
a slice of tho Mclvinley
prosperity of which wo hear so
much nowadays. All night work
wns shut down indefinitely at the
Millfort mill in this plnce Saturday
night, as a result of the depression
in the cotton cloth market.
About 75 hands are thus thrown
out of employment, most of whom
have moved to llock ilill and other
nearby towns in search of work.
Prof. 10. E. Thornwell left this
morning for Hock Hill, to attend
the summer school for toachers
which opens at Winthrop to-< lay.
The indications are that the school
will be more largely attended this
year than heretofore. President
Johnson recently stated that ho
has arranged for the accommodation
of 3o0 tenchors in tho dormitory
and in private families. State
Superintendent of Education MoMnhon
is now in Bock Ilill assisting
in the assignment of classes.

performed the ceremony. The
church was tastily decorated for
the occasion and the wedding

At llie National Capital.
Ilotfulur correspond'." ice.
Washington, July 10, 1(.K)0.?
The issue of imperialism thrust
forward hy the Democratic national
platform is alrendy worrying
tho Republicans. The making
public of a circular note Kent to
the j^rcat powers by this government
defining its policy toward
China was intended by the administration
to counteract the charge
of imperialism. While nominally
prepared to inform other f?overntncnfu
nf lln ??>!>'" - f
XAiV. IJKJllK y llllW
eminent towHid China, that circular
note was really prepared to
try to convince the people of this
country that tho McKinloy administration
has no imperial designs
against China, and more of the
same sort of stuir may ho looked
for. Mr. McKinley knows that
tho China question can wait, but
that the Presidential question has
got to be settled in November.
The administration has been
wobbling again. One <lay it officially
announced that in defereronco
to the advice of General
MacArtliur no more troops would
be sent from the Philippines to
China and the next it ordered a
regiment of infantry and a battery
of artillery to be sent from Manila.
Praise for the manner in which
the Democratic platform is written
is very frequently heard,sometimes
PVPII from lti.iinlilu'nuo l',<' VI....
- i -?
iitor Faulkner, of Wont Virginia
said of it: "I have never rend n
better national plat form than that
adopted nt Kansas City. Tt is
written in plain language, says exactly
what it moans and without
indirection."
Although he has been uh harshly
criticised as any officer in our army
for various short-comings from the
time that ho was in charge of the
construction of the big tunnel for
the increase of the water supply
of the city of Washington, which
although constructed years ago is
still being tinkered with nnd has
never been put to any practical
use, to his more recent service as
military governor of (ho city of
I Havana, Brigadier-( ronerai Ludlow
has had pull enough to get
promoted right along and to get
the most desirable assignments.
His latest is one that any otlicci
in the army would like to have.
Jle has been ordored to Europe
for the purpose of visiting the
great military sehools to obtain
information to be used in the es'
tablishment of a war college for
our army ollieers. He was made
: l . i r ii 11 . I i
jmchuumii ul uiu win ijoam
aa soon as he was received as military
governor of Havana.
One of the signs that tlio Republicans
are not so cocksure of
Ohio as they pretend to be is the
announcement that Henna's Dick
has been made chairman of tin
State Republican executive committee.
That means that Dick will
retire from the secretaryship of
the Republican National Committee,
which ho has held since
the last, campaign, ami which carries
a salary of $5,000 a year, while
the position he has accepted in
Ohio has no salary. Who will
succeed Dick as Secretary of the
National Committee has not been
announced, but, of course, it will
be some man thoroughly trained
in Hanna methods of securing
political ends. It wouldn't cause
any surprise in Washington if
Perry Heath resigns as First
Assistant Postmaster General and
succeeds Dick.
Mr Henry Ault, of I'oston, now
in Washington, said of politics in
his State: "If Massachusetts was
not so overwhelmingly Republican
it would go Democratic this year.
The press and Republican party
leaders are inclined to sneer at the
anti-expansionists of the Ray State
and to intimate that they are of
no consequence politically, but
when the election returns are in it
will be seen that anti-expansion
tins more adherents thnn it has
been given credit for having. The
question is not looked upon as one
of purely government policy, as is
the tariff or coinage of silver, but
a?s one in which deep principles of
right and justice arc involved, and
the people of Massachusetts are
not to be laughed or sneered out
i
mm
*
. of tln*ir profound convictions."
That the Democratic expectation
of elcclintr a luoioritv of the
next House in not a case of rainbow-chasing
must become plain
to any one who will carefully study
the election returns of two years
ago. With three vacancies, two in
Republican districts and one in a
Democratic district, tlio Republicans
only have a majority of 10 in
the present House and three of
i them were seated as a result of eontests
from districts which elected
Democrats and will do so again.
There are twelve Republicans in
the present House who were elected
by pluralities of less than 1,000 ?
one from California with ll'? plurality,
one from Illinois with did,
'and another from the same state
with 503. one from Indiana with
252, one from Kentucky with 10,
! one from Maryland with 122 and
another from the same Statu with
170. one from Minnesota with <103,
one from New Jersey with 830, one
from Ohio with -100, and two from
! West Yirgina with, respectively,
521 rind 873. if Democrats are
elected from all these districts
and lose none of the seats they now
hold they will control the next
1 louse.
