Hie Chinese government a-; transmit

Mgned his Willingness to mediate be

government.

frankly, promptly and fully am>\\?ie<i
the Chinese Emperor's appeal for
rumllat ion and tho correspondence
g'iven publicity makes it appear that
the next move is for the Chinese gov
ernment. It Is expected to accept of
reject our terms at once, and in either
ft -
rase the answer must convoy ?.dingsof
the state of affairs In Pek'in and the
welfare of the legationers. The belief
Is not concealed here that the chances
lev successful mediation are slight.
Mediation cannot be forced upon a
party to a cause. It must be accept
able to all the parties. If the United
States is to mediate in China's in
terest she must first secure the assent
.^f all the powers who have suffered In
life or property at Pekin.
The following t'orrospondence be
tween the President of the United J
rtjitea and the Kmperor of China has '
r>cen made public at the State Depart

of the Imperial government as favora

"1 have revolved Your Mi,-*sty\
message of tho 10th of July and tunA
glad to know that Your Majesty re-1
cognizes the fact that the government j
and people of the United States desir#
of China nothing but what is just and
equTtable. The purpose for which we,
landed troops in China was the rescue
of our legation from grave danger and ;
the protection of the lives and proper- ,
ty of othors who were sojourning in
China in the enjoyment of rights j
guaranteed them by treaty and inter- I
national law. The game purposes are ,
publicly declared by all ttye. powers >
which have landed military forces in |
Your Majesty's empire. ]/?"?
"1 am to In for from Your MAjfrsty's
letter that the malefactors who have
disturbed the peace of China, who
have murdered the minister of (?er
many and a member of the Japanese
legation, and who now hold besieged
in l'ek'in those foreign diplomats who
still survive, has not only not received
favor or encouragement from Your
Majesty, but are actually, in rebellion
against the imperial authority. If this
be the case, 1 most solemnly urge upon
Your Majesty's government to givo
public assurance whether the foreign
ministers are alive, and, if sp,,ln what
condition; to put the diplomatic repre
sentatives of the powers in immediate
and free communication with their
respective governments and to remove
nil danger to their lives and liberty;
to place the imperial authorities of
China in communication with the
relief expedition so that co-operntlou
may be secured between them for the
liberation of the legations, the protec
tion of foreigners and the restoration
of order. If these objects arc accom
plished. it is the belief of this govern
ment that no obstacles will be found
to an amicable settlement of all the
questions arising out of the recent
troubles and the friendly and good
offices of this government will, with
the assont of the other powers. l>e

The week ending 8 a. m. July ?Srd,
?vns ncnrl> 3 degrees warmer than
:sual. ami had a maximum of 102 de
?s at Hatcsburg, and a mlni?puni of
io at Urnuvillr.
There were light, widoly scattered
showers during (he entire week, lu?av
?s( in the central counties. My far tin#
greater portion tjf the State had no
I'Uin. and severe drought conditions
;>rcvail in places, The need of rain is
?< neral, and nearly all crops failed,
>r arc beginning to suffer for lack of
.noisture, especially old corn that is
maturing.
The dry weather was favorable foi
laying I?y, and ridding fields of grass
tnd weeds, so that crops are being
laid by in generally cle.an condition,
ilthough grassy fields are still com>
aion.
Old corn failed materially, except on
inoi.^1 u-Jiere Jt ahawa jjii
provement. On sandy lands it is tlrN
i?g. Voung corn continues to look
well and retains its color, but is not
growing and will soon fail unless
moidnrc is supplied. Mottom land
corn has made little recovery since tho
June freshets.
Cotton improved slowly, except on \
s;huly land whereat is nhedding leaver
wid squares and is turning yellow.Cot
Ton is generally small andlat?',alt hough
fields are now clean and fruiting nor
mally, but the crop is spotted and its
average condition remains poor. Sea
island cotton is doing poorly owing to
drought, blight and shedding.
Tobacco is ripening fast, and curilYj*
made rapid progress, being now over
half Airshed. The hot weather in
jured tobacco to some extent.
The prospects for a large forage
crop is good, especially of field peas
wTiieh look yery promising. Minor
crops generally, as well as pastures
and gardens, are failing rapidly and
stand in urgent need of rain. The ap
ple and melon crops continue poor,
while peaches and pears are plentiful,
!>nt the peaches are rotting badly,
(?rapes are ripening. A general lain
would materially improve tho crop
prospects.

W. D. May field Is not here. lOther

The first uaiulldate for governor to
speak was}Knmk W. Gary, lie said ho
would Hot forco a dispensary on Marl
boro and he did not want prohibition
forced on Abbeville. l*et each have |
what it wants. He believed in the dls- j
pensary law.
Patterson was the next speaker, lie j
is not well?has been sick for three j
davs. This is tho political birthplace
of'Hen Tillman. There W a powerful
newspaper trust, ami McSweeney tri
ed to net tho pull of the press. Patter
son stated he had sttuk to tho dl?pcn
sa ry through the !je.anjjal last ifall. lie
did not want to force-the dispensary
on Marlboro, but prohibition is but a
sentiment here. In addition to Char
leston's tl?or Industry, he claimed that
there are over 200 in the city of Colum
bia. The law can not be absolutely
enforced in Charleston, but he would
do it better than it is done now or step
down from office.
Gov. McSweeney said that all Pat
terson wants is to fool the people to
put him In olllee. Patterson looked all
"over the vouchers In the coraptroller
general's office and could find nothing
against the administration but war
rants paying for a few newspapers.
No man In South Carolina is so Ignor

His (piaint witticisms ljept the crowd
laughing.
Col. Jas. A. lloyt is in accord with
Marlboro?a prohibitionist as long as
Marlboro has had prohibition. This
county has resented any attempt to
change. Marion had been a prohibi
tion county, but a dispensary was es
tablished there without the consent of
the people. Dillon had tried to have
the dispensary removed and could not.
It ill-becomes a candidate for governor
to go around the country abusing the
papers for not supporting him. Patter
son has been Into .sixteen counties and
it is a reflection upon him that no pa
?>er has come to his support. Col lloyt
could not repudiate or reject the sup
port of papers that oppose prohibition,
and yet they have taken him up on his
lna'hhood. a ....
Col. Knox Livingston introduced his
competitors, speaking In kind terms
of each of them present, as well as of
Col. Tillman, who wired that ho was
left in Augusta. \
Colcn. Hleass, Winkler anil Sloan
each made a strong speech. Many jSfco
yle think there is hs much eloquence
among the colonels as among the; <.wi
dldates for governor.

Why don't mease ami Winkler go

speaker, Frank (Jury isn't in their
way? Col. Sloan was in the Senate
eight years and couldn't lie elected
president pro tem. lit! had had a lot
of trouble getting Col. laviugston on
a platform, but he is not on the pro
hihition platform. Tillman advocated
the dispensary.
Co]A, Livingston said that the pet\
Dee is uioreJiond Dum boundary. Marl
boro and Darlington had been side by
Bide in '76. lie had not gotten on the
prohibition platform because it is
popular. He is standing where he did
in the legislature In the '80s and in the
'itOs anil is no.w standing in the Sen
ate. York county had asked for the
dispensary to be removed, and he had
had the manhood to *flght for the re
quest in the face of the powers then
In control. He would ca.^t the decid
ing tote In the Senate for prohibition.
The next speaker was Mr. C. L.
Winkler. -The people do not care from
which section a man comes. What
they want to know is what Is the man?
Every man in this race for ..cutonant
governor Is on his merit, not as a
coat-tail swinger. He is running upon
his record in the general assembly
and upon his ability ami integrity, no
advocated I ho dispensary. v
Col. .John T. SJoan said he comes up
to the requirements laid down by
Winkler. Wae in the house of repre
sentatives in lStfi, n the constitu

tor for eight years. He has had suffi
cient parliamentary training to make
him con?p?tei?tr lie u..?n't believe in
"pro tem," business, lie wanted to bo
elected fairly and squarely by the
people.
Col. Mease said he had a record and
he is proud of it. When ne was hut VCi
years of age Newberry gave hint l,:;oO
out of l.SMM) votes for I lie legislature,
lit? opposed prohibition. The majority
of prohibitionists want to keep other
people from drinking and get all they
can for self. Man is responsible to
(Jod alone for drinking liquor.
.J. H. Moore said he could never
manage to meet his opponent on the
stump. The latter has gone to Wash
ington on a wlhl goose chase. IJellin
ger's record is one of failure, llel
iingcr Vf.s not here.
Dr. Tiuimeiiuan said he could not
leave his office to nl^ku every meeting
in the campaign while his opponents
is neglecting his oft ice of clerk of the
court of Fairfield.
Capt. Jennings replied that he has a
deputy clerk who can attend to tho
work. Dr. Timincrman is Stale treas
urer and at the same time president of
a bank at Columbia and an officer in
other hanks.
Neither Hrooker nor Derliam was

W. D. 14van* said that when ho went

The hoard had this matter changed.
The Atlantic Coast Dine had been
charging local rates on all commodi

rate 25 per cent.
The rato on brick hod been lowered
and Darlington had profited by It. He
