TODAY.
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.

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.

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

There are some delightful drives

FROM FAR AWAY CHINA.
Mr. Crocker Writes a Interostliii; Letter
for Ledger Headers.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
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.

Etta Jane, Aug. 25.—The long se

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

find him a first rate fellow, such as
any good girl could live happily with.
He is prepared to take good care of a

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

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.
