THE SITt'ATION IN CHINA. The situation in China is becoming a little more interesting. Russia has proposed that all the forces withdraw from Pekin so that the Emperor and Empress of China may return and set up some sort of gov ernment with which the allied powers may negotiate. The United States and Japan agree to the proposition, hut Germany and England are a little slow on giving their consent. But if the nations mentioned withdraw their forces, Germany and England will be obUged to follow suit, for their armies in China are not large enough to sustain themselves there without the aid of the allies. So it is gener ally believed that this movement will take place and that negotiations looking to a peaceful settlement of all the. troubles in China will soon be pending. In the meantime Count Von Wal- derseen, the great German who was to be generalissimo of the whole bus iness, is moving by easy, luxurious stages towards the scene of trouble. It has been nearly a month since he set out, and from all accounts we get from him, ho has hardly yet got out of sight of home. We are not much surprised at his slow progress, when we are informed that he has a portable house along with him, con taining seven rooms, with baths, cooking and dining apartments and all modern comforts and conven iences. If this house has to be taken down and set up every day, as we suppose it does, no wonder that the progress of the great god of war is slow. Our own General Miles can beat that, for ho did manage to get to Florida in a palace car which carried for him a porcelain-lined bath tub. We wouldn’t give a picayune for a river bottom full of such generals. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The mornings and evenings of the last few days have had a touch of early autumn about them. The long term of intense heat has at last ended, and the whole country will feel relieved. Never before within the memory of men has so much hot weather been experienced in this latitude in one summer. Astrono mers tell us that the sun is gradually becomes less in volume as it parts with its heat, and that conditions clearly ind'eate that the time will come when in accordance with the declaration of Scripture, “the sun will refuse to shin?,’’ and life as we now know it can no longer exist on any world that gets it 4 - light and heat from the sun. Bub that time must be yet a long way olf, if we are to judge from the lavish supply the sun has poured down upon the earth, dur ing the past forty or fifty days. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- The Charlotte Observer last Sat urday did not have one word from the South Carolina elections. Indeed eo far as we saw, it gave no report of the elections in this State. We sup pose the Observer thinks that the elections in North Carolina were so overwhelmingly important, that elec- tione in other states that have noth ing of greater importance than whisky and state education to wrangle over, are not worth mention ing, even in its news columns. The Observer should remember that we in South Carolina settled the ques tion of white supremacy twenty-six years ago, and the great question with us now is how to make the white man u gentleman after we have made him supreme. We are trying to educate him and at the same time to keep him from drinking whisky. Rut i s the means for his education come largely from the sale of whisky, we do not yet see clearly how our plans are going to work out. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ There is now no longer ony doubt but that the people of this state will have to face fearfully short crops this fall. The ruins have been shy ami exceedingly partial, while the scorching sun lias made quick work with the growing crops. In some few sections of very limited urea, the rains have been abundant and the crops are fine, but these sections probably do not comprise altogether the one hundredth part of the arable surface of Bouth Carolina. The average crop of corn and cotton over the whole state will not amount to more than half of au ordinary yield in many places not more than one- fourth. This will bear hard on many who are strained to make ends meet year by year. Many plans will have to be changed, sharp economy prac ticed, and expedients resorted to, which necessity alone will suggest. The situation is not altogether Dad. There is a good wheat crop to start on and what cotton is made will no doubt bring a good price. A little prudent management, a little cur tailing of expenses not absolutely necessary, a little self-denial in re gard to.luxuries and pleasures, a lit tle fair and manly adjustment be tween debtor and creditor—these will go a long way towards neutraliz ing the effects of short crops and all their attendant discouragements. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Ttie Grand Army of the Republic is becoming interested in the matter of history. At its recent convention in Chicago strong resolutions were passed condemning the school his tories used in the South, and looking to the abolishment of all such books, and the introduction of histories written by God-fearing and truth telling historians from the North. We appreciate this marA of delicate consideration shown by the pension drawers of the Grand Army. But we’ll attend to our own affairs a lit tle while longer—until our States shall have ceased to furnish the money to educate our children and until Imperialism shall have been com pletely established over the country and Emperor McKinley or somebody else shall have been enthroned at Washington, and shall issue an edict that truth is mighty and must pre vail. Then we’ll explain how it was that six hundred thousand men over whelmed with numbers on many a bloody field two millions eight hun dred thousand pure hearted patriots, and how those same six hundred thousand put one million oat of the combat and one million more on the pension rolls forever! We’ll show further that we went to war in de fence of a right which the North it self had always claimed and that we fought for principles which - will yet be triumphant or this whole republic will tumble into ruins.

In another column will be found a communicatian from the pen of Rev. F. C. Hickson in which he seeks to advocate the election of Mr. Hoyt over Mr. McSweeney for the governorship. There are some things Mr. Hickson says in regard to Mr. McSweeney that I cannot endorse. This article was admitted to the col umns of The Ledger because it is a newspaper and it does not care to bear the odium of being classed as unfair and unwilling to give people an opportunity to express themselves through its columns. The Ledger has never advocated the election of Mr. Hoyt or Mr. McSweeney because this paper has sought to steer clear of personal politics ever since its establishment and it doe» not care to enter into it at this late day. Besides, Mr. McSweeney is my personal friend, and while I do not approve of his dispensary views, if It had been the purpose of The Ledger to support any one it would have been him. The Ledger had preferred to let them fight it out tbemaelves with out any interference on its part. Be sides, I do not believe that this news paper, or any other that endeavors to be a newspaper Instead of an organ, has any right, under ordinary circum stances, to inflict its opinion of in dividuals upon its readers, or to ad- vocatu the eleotion of one man in preference to another.

M., Ph. D. THE DISPENSARY VS. PROHIBITION. Whiskey Will Flow From the Mountains to the Sea. STATE DELUGED IN CRIME Mr. Hickson Say* If Gov. McSweeney 1* Ke.electea the Condition will not be 1)1*- pen*ary v«. Prohibition, But Kverything Bad v*. Everything Good. In the campaign just closed in this State the issue was mainly dispensary vs. prohibition, but it is very far from being that in the present con test between Gov. McSweeney and Col. Hoyt. Gov. McSweeney not only got the solid vote of the dis pensary employees but no one has yet been bold enough to deny that he got the “blind tiger” vote of the en tire State. All the paid friends, and all the paid enemies of the dispen sary voted for him. There seems now to be no doubt that Mr. Gary’s charge that the constables were out working for the Governor was true. Everywhere blind tigers prevailed he got the vote. Now, was that simply because they had not in the past been interfered with? That alone would not have made them so solid and determined for the Governor. Evidently the constables and others were making them promises for the future. Where is the man who, in the face of the character of Mc- Sweeney’s vote, would have the hardi hood to deny that the dyspensury is capable of being a powerful political machine? Not only can it always be turned effectively against prohibi tion, bub it can be turned most disas trously against the friends of the dis pensary itself. No one hardly thought of Mc Sweeney as a dispensary candidate, Messrs. Gary and Patterson and even Mr. Tillman attacked him as its ene my. It was as clear as could be that he was not the choice of Mr. Tillman of the three candidates and yet he got the dispensary vote. In the hands of a corrupt mao it would re quire the solid vote of the good peo ple of the State to beat him. The solid vote of the lawless of the State is enough to brand any man with ig- nomy and shame. The source of Governor McSweeney’s votes in the last election has forfeited to him the respect of every law abiding citizen. The issue ic this election is no longer dispensary vs. prohibition, but everything that is bad vs. every thing that is good. The down fall in morals, law and order will be felt all over the State if Governor McSweeney is reelected. Whiskey will flow from the mountains to the sea and our State will be deluged in crime. The little creek in the dam of the dispen sary law in Charleston and Columbia will enlarge, not only to the sweeping away of the dispensary law entirely, but will result iu a tremendous fiood tide sweeping down against every other law on the stream of govern ment. The bar-rooms of Charlestion, when run under the law, was not one tyttie as damaging to good morals and good order in general as the blind tigerism of today. The people not only get all the liquor they want, but they get it in defiance of law. And nothing can be so damaging to that moral sentiment which is a nec essary support of all government as the triumph of defiant lawlessness. Charleston never made such a thrust into her own vitals and never showed herself so unfriendly to the Ktate of Bouth Carolina as when she allowed the blind tigers and their friends to control her recent election. And the roost unseemly sight of all is that Mr. Tillman is allied with the blind tigers of Charleston. The blind tigers of Charleston voting for Benja min R. Tillman. Did he ever get such a thing before? The Ben Gall Tiger has laid down in the den of blind tigers. Mr< Tillman brushes aside as a trifle the loss of 4.000 votes, confess* edly of the most conscientious, and in every way, the best of his former friends. 2 000 of the best men of the former farmer's movement party for three or four thousand blind ti gers. Are you satisfied with ttie swap, Mr. Tillman? 1 know you are not. Why not say so? If the preachers have misjudged and mis represented you to your hurt with the most conscientious of your friends, why not prove the charge false by declaring for the best frjend of the dispensary contest, Col. Hoyt? If you are rually in favor of the dis pensary and want it enforced in the interest of temperance aud good morals, strike the man that has proved be ia not. Join not hands with the traitor to your party and the traducer of your pet law. But let Mr. Tillman do as he may, the duty of every other good man in Bouth Carolina is plain. Bouth Carolina lies bleeding today from the stabs of her most lawless citizens and her treacherous governor. But the battle is not lost; every man to the rescue and we shall save the day. Never since Hampton, backed by the intelligence and goodness of the grand old State, was pitted against Chamberlain, backed by ig norance and crime, has Bouth Caro lina stood so much in need of her best people’s best effort. Corrupt political machinery, low, dirty, po litical trading, dark, defiant lawless ness, rage and tear her vitals. As the humblest of her sous I cry to every man who loves law and hates crime, who loves honor and hates shame to come to the rescue. As a member of the faction which once contained almost soadly the farmers of the State, I appeal with special emphasis to my political friends. Governor McSweeney was elected to office by the farmers’ movement party. Today he is in league with their bitterest and lowest enemies. Shall we continue him in power as the representative of the farmers of this State? If be brought to our ranks Charleston and Colum bia iu hearty sympathy with our best efforts and purposes, if he had suc ceeded in allying them with us with true and loyal purposes to be friends and work for the best interest of the State we would hail him as a hero indeed. But when we see him in their ranks with our guns trained upon us, we cry “traitor.” Let him receive a traitor’s reward. McSweeney has outwitted Tillman again. It was Tillman’s influence that stirred the farmers to vote for the dispensary. By shrewd strategy McSweeney jumped on the Tillman wave and rode it into the anti-Till man “blind tiger” pond. Ti>e artless farmer has again been betrayed. Will they resent it, now that they see it? I believe they will. F. C. Hickson. That Throbbing Headache.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Aug. 31.—The com munion service at Mesopotamia will embrace the second Subbath of Sep tember, instead of the fourth, as formerly announced. Rev. Mr. Ezell has been conduct- inn a protracted meeting at Abingdon creek church this week. We are unable to give the results at this writing. Messrs. H. B. McDaniel and Sam Strain, having combined business with pleasure, are visiting friends and relatives at Conwell’s and Black- stock, in Chester county. The rain came Wednesday evening and night and cooled the air to some extent, but it came too late for many of the crops. Fruit drying is the work of the housewives, and a good supply of it has already been put up for next year’s use. The cotton crop is not so good as it was this time last year. Many of the bolls are prematurely ripentag and the lint is a very poor article. Lots of the cotton is seedless. The Sarratt Brothers are speaking of rebuilding their dam and starting their mill on Thickety at the old Thomson mill site. A pugnacious bull belonging to the Fowler Brothers gored a mule of Mr. Ben Goforth’s to death one day this week. Like the gentlemen they are, the Brothers, we learn, tendered not only their sympathy, but a recom pense to Mr. Goforth for his loss. The string band gave an open air concert on the York side of the river last Saturday. A few farmers are making up their molasses cane. The dry weather has injured the cano to some extent and the yield will not be large. Camp Jefferies U. C.
