We haven’t any idea that the proclamation will amount to a row of pins in the Philippines, but, it may amount to a whole package of pins in the United Slates—pins to prick the followers of Bryan in tender places, pins to bind together the rent seams of the g. o. p. robe and to tack it firmly to the skirls of Major McKinley. The complaint of a superabundance of rjiin is general. In many places tne farmers have not been able to plow a single day in two weeks. In the meantime whe< eomo on and the weather is iogiy unfavorable for s ;vil juroi 1 he fine crop of wheat which bus been made. For all this, how ever, the farmers will come. They harvest has execed- >g unin- knort how to cope S.YI’HO TOO WARM. According to the. Charlotte News, j “Siipho" must be too hot for the ( climate of North C-aroiina. 1 he company that brought if to the State to startle the natives hasn't had a vood sized au'iiei:'.* yet, and a lot of the news;)*!!)* rs have roasted it on general principle.- What is saph > anyway? It re minds us of it story told of Tom 1 Ochiltree ot Fexus. Back in the | early days of f > x s. when Tom was ! making a an vass fer re-election to: congress, it happened that he was making a spceeb in u district devoted almost exclusively to sheep raising. I ne speaker had a bard time in i arousing ordinary interest among his hearers, to say notbing of enthusiasm, and his own enthusiasm was con- ! siderubiy on the wane, when a bright | *ome surprises, now and then, hut idea struck him Pausing for a few ; for which it would become as tedious moments as it hesitating between | and monotonous as the evening duty and forbearance, he Ba id : serenade of a band of frogs about an 1 had honed to | inland pond. A. C. Jones has with- th ditliculties, fei they are u - :'-'! to them 1 he sun will -hine on' in due jourse of time; tiiu ground will dry oil, and the sweeping plows and the slashing hoes will make wild work and a short shrift with the grass and weeds. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The .Statf campaign is developing eight-page daily with VV. H. Wallace, formally of the Newberry Observer, us editor. Mr. Wallace is a man of brains and culture, of wide news paper experience, and altogether is a worthy successor to A. B. Williams who was a great favorite among newspaper readers. Mr. Wallace’s editorials have no uncertain ring, and the signs are abundant that tho Greenville News is starting out on a new career of usefulness and pros perity. So mote it be. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Gastonia (N. C.) Gazette in whooping up a Fourth-of-July cele bration in its town, is carried by its enthusiasm into the spirit of a weather prophet and takes up its parable and says: Almanacs ha\e been consulted and all agree that the day will be bright and clear. The moon is all right, says the man who is guided by Luna, and all are of one opinion, that the day will be per- feet.” Such perfect weather being as sured for our neighboring town, may we not confidently expect that its beneficent influences will extend to Gaffney—only about thirty miles ; away, on the same line of latitude ; and the equal of Gastonia in gallant knights and pretty girls. A GREAT RIVER. “My fellow citizens, spare myself the pain and you the t drawn from the race for the Lmted resentment and indignation which j States Senate, thus affording Tillman the infliction I must impose is hound to produce. But it seems to be my clear duty to tell what I know, be the consequences what they may.” The speaker paused again to watch the effect of his words, and meeting with no encouragement, he made bold to proceed without it. “If I must tell you,” he added, “the oppos ing party have invented a polariscope and are going to introduce it into our State, and now before this intelligent audience, I need not say a word further as to the nature of this in vention nor to the motives and ob jects of the unprincipled scoundrels who are manipulating it.” The speaker hoped that he would be asked no questions and he pro ceeded in as lively manner as possi ble to discuss some of the “isssues.” But he had not gone far before a man in tbe crowd called out, “What is a polariscope?” Tom pretended not to hear the question, and pitched into the “issues” with more vigor than ever. But it wouldn’t do. J he question was reinforced by a dozen others who declared they must know what the thing was. Then the speaker stopped, took a drink of water, cleared up hi's throat, and replied, “Boys, when it comes to that, blest if J know what it is; ; but it will kill ail of your sheep sure j as thunder.

The enterprising and irrepressible Walt Whitman has again bobbed up serenely in the race for governor and will make it warm for himself, if not for the competing candidates. Colonel Jim Tiifman announces that he is not running on the name of his father nor of his uncle, but on his own merits. We like the ring of this declaration ; and now if the Colonel will let us know distinctly what his merits are we shall enjoy the luxury of casting at least one intelligent and satisfactory vote. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- The wheat market ran .wild last .Saturday in Chicago. There have not before been such disturbances in the market as prevailed for several days last week since the time of Joe ! Leitner and of ’Old Hutch.” The advance during the days of excite- : tntnt ending with Saturday was : about twenty cents on the bushel, or at least thirty per cent, and Hour immediately showed sympathy by .nuking a strong advance. It is claimed that the rise is legitimate and not the result of manipulation or speculation. The long continued dry, hut weather in the great wheat-grow- I ing northwest has seriously dirnin- thut Tom | ishe-d the yield, while wars that are 1 and was ! fepringing up all over the earth will i greatly iocroaso the demand far t-x- ports A* such a time the fine wheat crop raised in ‘his section of the .county is doubiy gratifying, while ! the difficulty of saving it on account of the continued wet weather is in sharp contrast with the widely pre vailing drought over the northwest. i When vse take into consideration the ! further fact, that tiierv is not a ! month in the year which does not ! bring a wheat harvest to some part of the world we are forcibly reminded ot a favorite assertion of tbe Rev. D re wry .Scruggs, a noted preacher of the uldcn time, “The world i.-. wide.” r, ha:: sent out and they are all we’i. wioie th*. multiplying and threatening to send A.MOXO ot K NKIOIMSOKs.

Tbe in Us history. It appears now as an Mr. Crocker Tells of Ills Trip to Chinki- nnp by Japanese Steamer. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Y wu Chow, China, May 21.—We were in Shanghai and wished to come up to Chin Kiang. Chinese passage, because of the great difference in the price. I called at the steamer lying away up in the French tower to find out if I could get passage. The Chi nese comprador looked at me very hard and said they were “all full.” Disappointed, I went back to wait till next day. At another steamer lying further down the river the comprador took me politely to some Chinese rooms, and said I could get two. I at once engaged two rooms, one for myself and wife and one for two ladies. I went home feeling that we wouid go next day,.certain, and I so announced to the ofhers. Next morning I took my baggage up to tho steamer, put it in the rooms and the comprador gave me the keys. As I was starting out from the deck, I asked some one to change a little money so I could pay the barrow man. and while doing this a bad looking foreigner with a cap on came along and looked at me very straight, and then said, “What are you doing here?” I said I had brought my baggage aboard and had put it in a room. He said, “You can’t go.” “But we are very anxious to go,” I said. ‘‘No matter what you want, you can’t go;” “no foreigner can go Chinese passage.” I felt mad and cheap, too. The officer was insult ing, and there was nothing to do but remove our things. Foreigners do travel Chinese fare constantly, but on many steamers they must wear Chinese clothes. The Chinese cabin is just a bare room with a shelf for the bedding. It costs about one- fourth or fifth as much as the for eign cabin. Finally we managed to get off the next day on a Japanese steamer, but had to go foreign style. The steamers all have a first class for foreigners, and it is very expen sive, but the fare is good. We were on h Japanese steamer in Chinese wa ters, but the Japanese captain was a Christian, spoke English and the fare was served by a Chinese cook, foreign style. A curious mixture of things truly. The next morning we were out on the bosom of the great river. A j beautiful bright lay greeted us and the current boiled and eddied and swept past our small ship. On either hand could be dimly seen the shores of the river. In many places in its lower reaches, this great river must be ten miles wide. It is quite as long as the Mississippi, coming down from the mountains of West China. About live hundred miles from its mouth it is more than a mile and a half wide In many places. It cuts China nearly half in two, and its banks below the great gorges above and News in twelve years. iLghlui. i bridges in town were wathe ! away and creeks nearby had thingo Un it’ own way. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Spartanburg H-. raid in its noGce of the celebration here on the Fourth, says that the people of Gaff ney know how to get up big things and how to handle them after they have been gotten up, or something to that effect. That's so, and our wide-awake neighbor can prove it, if necessary, by a great cloud of diuin- ! ter-jsted witnesses. Couldn’t Brother I Darlington run down here on the Fourth and see with his own eyes how we get up and handle big things? ♦ + ♦ ♦ The Chester Lantern, one of the brightest lanterns that throws its beams into our sanctum, announces that according to census revelations there are sixteen sets of twins in Chester and ten in Ro3k Hill. An- ollur bit of news from the tame source is that there are three men of the same name in Lancaster county running for the same office, that of county superintendent of education. There seems to be a t> ndency to Wu Chung are lined with farms and a teeming population. It is in a part of this river valley that some of the greatest cities of ancient times were built, and the capital of China was once on its banks. Now the greatest emporium of the east is near its mouth. Its waters, a mighty rolling sea, furnished magnificent facilities for boat trade. Already now the English, Germans, Japanese, Chinese, and others have big river steamers, and about every steamer is packed with Chinese passengers, and the business is rapidly growing to enormous proportions. \Ye sat upon the deck and lazily watched tho peaceful scene in the bright sunshine—the green shore line in the distance, the curious old junks, with big eyes and horns and looking much like a large insect rest ing on the water, made an interest ing variety. Now we are in a licet of fishing boats and we watch the little boats dance in the big waves made by Hie steamer. Yonder we see a blue hill outlined, and as we draw nearer a fort with grim cannon reveals itself on tbe brow of the bluff. Then look at the green slopes with their shifting color, pale green, and dim vistas of golden light. The engines suddenly cease their throbbing, we look off yonder to the shore, a boat is putting oil with thr Hag of our ship on it; it comes along side, catches on by a rope and then such a scramble I A medley of heads, arms, baggage and an eternal chatter almost deafening, then the boat is loosed, the engines begin to go and the In-ads and arms and baggage drop behind. Huch a beautiful peace seems to lie over the whole land; beautiful clus ters of trees and neat little farms. Can one believe that this beautiful valley is filled with heathen supersti tion ? About ten o’clock at night we see the |twlnkllng lights on the hill and we know we are nearing Chin Kiang. Boats begin to gather about before the steamer stops, but we wait, and lean over tbe rail in the moonlight and watch the scene. Such a yelling and scuffling, heads and arms and baggage, and around us the silent silvery river and the lights on the hill. A custom officer kindly invited wife to go ashore in his boat, and pres ently my servant appeared to help with tbe baggage, and with a small tip to the stewart and good-bye to the kindly Japanese captain, we leave the steamer and the river. But it flows on and its broad bosom is ready to carry the gospel of peace. W. E. Ckockeh. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. People You Know and People You Don’t Know. P. D.

Eighteen or twenty of the tenement houses are framed and the walls of tho mill building are rapidly going up; wagons are running to and fro, hands are swarming around like bees and everything ahoat the place has an air of business.
