Today the people all over our State assemble to exercise a privilege and to perform a high and patriotic duty. A great number of the people of our county will have deposited their votes before they read this paper; while it will reach many others be fore they shall have repaired to the ballot box. But, however that may be, it is not the intention of this article to make any attempt to turn anybody’s vote. By this time every citizen worthy of the franchise has his mind fully made up, and it would be an insult to him to ask him to remodel his ticket. Patriotism, in telligence, and honesty all require that he should vote for the men who in his impartial judgment are best qualified intellectually and morally to fill the offices to which they aspire to the satisfaction and ad vantage of the people who elect them. “Public office is a public trust,” and a public officer is not the master but the servant of the people, lie is, or ought to be elected, not as a matter of favor to him, but for the benefit of his constituency, that is for the pub lic good; and whenever any doubts exist either of his honesty or ability he should be forestalled or called down. In State politics the whiskey ques tion is the all-absorbing topic, un fortunately so, we think so,far as the election of governor is concerned, yet we recognize the fact that such is the case. There are three modes of disposing of this question presented to the peo ple. Prohibition, dispensary, and local option. The last named mode means high license under dispensary regulations. If we have been correctly informed, all of the candidates for the legis lature from this county have ex pressed themselves as being opposed to prohibition, but have not clearly indicated which of the two other modes they would prefer. So those who consider prohibition the. para mount issue, have no candidate to represent them and are left without choice right where the issue ought to have been made. The election of Hoyt for governor will have a tre- m ^rf5bs moraref?ec1f^taMiiifl^^ii ie question must be decided in the legislature. We believe also that our legislative candidates are all opposed to the ex travagant ^appropriations to the State colleges. Some of them have expressed their opposition to the longer existence of the South Caro lina College and the Citadel Academy. On principle they are right. If the State is going to support Clemson and Winthrop and develop them to their full capacity, then it has no use for the other two colleges; but as a matter of policy it might be inex pedient at this time to abolish them. We concede the right of the State to educate a limited number of its citizens, of whom the State has need for specific purposes, just as the general government has the right to establish and maintain such institu tions as West Point and the Naval Academy. We concede its right also to provide facilities for art and in dustrial training for its young men and young women on the ground that like the common sehool education, such training will probably give the State a more stable, intelligent, and efficient citizenship. But the State has no right, legal or moral, human or divine, to bestow higher literary and classical culture on the few at the expense of the many. It has no right to do it, be cause from the nature of the case, it can give such culture only to the few and never to the many. We hope there will be men enough in the next legislature who will have sense, honesty and backbone enough to see it, that Clemson and Winthrop are held down to the purposes for which they were established,and that the South Carolina College and Cita del Academy are either abolished or put upon some footing from which they can at least do something to wards earning their own living. While we sympathize today with the candidates and their friends in their anxiety, we trust that the day will pass without bitterness or un fairness, or anything that is un manly. The defeated candidate to night who ia conscious of having maintained bis manhood and his integrity through all the strong temptations to err from the path of rectitude that have confronts 1 him throughout the campaign, is an im measurably superior man to the man who has won his success by means that he would be ashamed to own. NOTES AND COMMENTS. A barber recently secured a job in a barber shop at Gaffney and l he Lodger of that town records the event as follows: “Humphrey H. Camp, formerally of Thickety. has accepted a position in the tonsorsal palace of H. C. Knox.—Yorkvillo Enquirer. You see the Enquirer lives in the back woods and is unacquainted with city words, ways, and places. ♦ ♦ ♦ -♦ Thousands of the patriotic sons of the old North State assembled in Raleigh on Wednesday to witness the ceremonies of unveiling a monu ment to Zeb Vance. A splendid ora tion was delivered by Maj. Battle, the intimate friend and associate of the famous war governor, and the people manifested the most enthusi astic appreciation. This is all just as it should have been. North Caro lina honors herself in honoring the memory of Zeb Vance, and the whole South will appreciate her action, be cause the whole South admired and loved him. North Carolina never produced a truer, nobler, more pa triotic son than Zebulan Baird Vance. The situation in China has not materially changed since the taking of Pekin. It is said that though Pekin has been taken, it has not been subdued and that resistance is still kept up in different parts of the city. In the mean time the allied govern ments are looking about for some legally constituted authority in China with which to treat or against which to wage war, and so far no such authority has been discovered. It is a question whether China has any government or not, whether the ex tensive military operations going on there are war or a succession of riots, and now that the ministers have been rescued, whether the allied forces should go on killing and devastating or rest on their laurels and await developments. Li Hung Chang presents himself to the nations as representative of the imperial govern ment and asks for an armistice preparatory to the opening of nego tiations for peace. But the nations are wary of Li, and doubtful as to whether there is any government be hind him. It is a world-muddle, and it may be yet a long time before order is established. ForeHt City Facts. Forest City, Aug. 21.—Our tour thus far has been full pauses, but this halt seems to be the best of all, possibly because we have met so many of our old acquaintances. E. J.

Forest City is a flourishing place and growing very rapidly,full of good, clever citizens who treat you royally, bid you God speed and ask you to re turn soon. One thing they haven’t much of and that is watermelons. They are so scarce that the mer chants buy and sell them by weight, retailing them at the rate of one cent per pound. We took in the Florence Mills, a good sized plant running day and night. The com pany is having more machinery placed in so as to be able to meet the ever increasing demand for goods There are some delightful drives around Forest City—the one to the spring being the most popular.

Chinese are dangerous enemies, for they are treacherous That’s why all counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve are dangerous.

Shanghai, China, July 25.—Wo suppose hero that you get the new- by telegraph much quicker than we can write it to you from this side, so wo feel that it is hardly necessary to say much of what is properly news, but there is much in the situa tion that is worth speaking about. I want to notice several things. First, this war is not a religious persecu tion, hardly in any sense of the word. It did not have its origin in that way. Two years ago the Empress Dowager started an anti-foreign move ment, and her course has encouraged an ancient society to grow strong, and from the first from the throne down it has been a foreign-hating movement, and the missionaries have been murdered simply as foreigners, and the native Christians have been driven out and murdered because they have been followers of the for eigner. The Chinese would like now to make it appear that it is a perse cution of the Christians, and that the Christian, themselves have caused it by their own bad conduct. It is well known that the Christians are the best and most hopeful element in the Chinese population, but as a proclamation put it the other day, they are “simple and have been de ceived by the foreigner.” There has also been a proclamaf’on put out to warn all the Christians to recant and they would be forgiven. If the Chi nese can make it appear that it was only a rising against the Christians, they hope the foreign forces will not mind that, although the fact is very apparent that the plan has been long and well laid to drive all foreigners out of China, Second, this is not a fanatic mob which has arisen suddenly and which the government cannot control. The Chinese government is truly and really responsible for the situation, and has delibe r ately planned and caused it. It is probably true that it started before the plans were all ripe, but that deep plans were well laid can hardly be doubted. This ie the universally expressed belief of all who are acquainted with the situa tion. Lately, as the ruiers in China have seen that things are not going as they bad hoped, they have begun to lay the blame on the “rabble” and the “mob,” and to say that they, themselves, were perfectly innocent. Third, the Chinese have proven themselves to be what they really are, a semi-savage people, with all of their boasted civilization. The viola tion of the sanctity of the foreign representatives, and the murder of helpless women and children, is a hor rible chapter. We are here in Shang hai now hearing daily of some poor people, generally missionaries, being killed or driven out with terrible suf ferings. Daily *he refugees are com ing till the city is crowded to over flowing. These details will be writ ten in the history of these times, and can well be placed along side some of the horrible tragedies of long ago. Fourth, another feature is that the Chinese are not to be trusted in any thing they say. They seem to have ab- solately no compunction of con science about what they say. 1 read in yesterday’s paper that the Chinese representative at Washington is tell ing things there and trying to smooth over things while in today’s paper I read that one of our war ships has just left riVl'tfnffT killed and wounded by the troops of the government of that Chinese representative. Fifth, it is almost certain that the Chinese have counted on the division of the foreign powers, but have been disappointed so far. They have sent an appeal to some of the powers, and it looks very much as if their object is to try some plan to get the powers against each other. Does any one know how long the trouble is going to last? No. China is a very large country, and there aro many things in the way of a speedy settlement of the question Our mis sionaries have been fortunate so far, and are all safe. We have a cable gram from Dr. Willingham telling us to take the necessary measures for safety. A good many of our mission have gone to Japan, and some of us are going this week. Today we have news which makes us afraid that ihere will bo trouble on the river. If there is a blaze started up this river, it will be a big one aud will affect Shanghai. We ask the prayers of the people for China, and those who are suffer ing over here. They say that the river near Tien Tsin is iilied witii corpses of dead Chinese, and the out look now is that mortality will be very great among the people. W. E. Crockjeb. Kiitertaiuiueut ToulKhl.

Limestone College is thoroughly equipped and offers to young women advantages unsurpassed, if equaled, by any other college in the South. The Literary and Scientific Course comprises n< >OL while there are h ive Mork for the ex’ra courses of Music, Art, Elocution, I’usiness, Stenography and Typewriting, all furnished with the best modern facilities and presided over by teachers of ack 110wledged ability.

Etta Jane, Aug. 25.—The long se vere drought has had a damaging ef fect on the growing crops. Upland corn in many places is a complete failure, and cotton is equally short. Rev. J. I*. Marion failed to reach Salem last Sabbath and consequently there was no preaching there that day. The York county people aro yet still hopeful that a free ferry will be established at Howell’s ferry. The string band gave an entertain ment on the York side this afternoon. We spent the night with our friend, “Bachelor,” of Buffalo, and find him a first rate fellow, such as any good girl could live happily with. He is prepared to take good care of a wife. Rev. S. T. Creech is conducting a protracted meeting at Sardis this week. He is a faithful servant in the Master’s vineyard. This section was visited by a good rain Thursday. It came a little too late to make much improvement on many of the crops. I’eoplo are pulling fodder and sow ing turnip seed. Watson Brothers have their ma chine at work boring a well for .Mr. S. F. Estes. Some of our neighbors have taken their wheat to the Gaffney roller mill and aro well pleased with their turn out of flour. We are very sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Newman Smith which took place at Gaffney last Monday. She was buried at Salem, Rev. Mr. Creech conducting the funeral ser vices. Mrs. Smith attended chil dren’s day on the 2Glh ult., and at that time was apparently in the very best of health. Mr. J. F. Estes, who has been sick for some time, is getting better. Mr. W. E. Osment has a force of hands working the public roads near this place. While taking our rounds over the county we hetml The Ledger tuvora- bly spoken of. The only objection we heard was that It didn’t give a column of general State news and that parties living in the country had to look to other papers for such in formation. It is generally conceded that it is the veritable county paper it claims to be. We regret to learn that Mrs. Iona Burnett, wife of Wm. II. Burnett, died at her home near Jennings Falls, Arkansas, on the 9th inst., from pneumonia. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Dawson and a sister of B. W. Dawson, of Blacks burg, and Mrs. Giles M. Iliil. of your city. She was a staunch friend to The Ledger. The bereaved family have our heartfelt sympathy. Death rides on every jiassin^ hrei zo It lurks In every flower. Each inoiuent has its own disease its perils every hour. .! J, B. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.
