^ C anton, Aug. 1.—Violent anti-foreign
placard*, emanating from the Boxers,
have been posted in the vicinity of the
Christian chapels. The placards protest
against the imposition of the house tax,
saying it is only exacted in order to
meet the indemnity to be paid to the
powers, and proceeds:
‘‘If money can bo obtained, why not
made war on the foreigners? China is
not yet defeated. It j6 only the gov
ernment’s eyes ohieii are blinded by
disloyal ministers. If we refuse to'
light, then it. is a case of being greedy,
^ud fearing death. How can the care-
inily studied military arts be used ex
cept against foreigner*? How can we
otherwise employ our regiment*?
“During 1931 much money will be col
lected through the lotteries, gambling
and general taxes. But they were never
satisfied. Therefore, should the house
tax be collected, we will demolish the
chapels and drive out the Ohristiaus.
If the emperor is unable to pay, w r e
Boxers have an excellent plan to gain a
victory over the foreigners. Unless this

in the death of Mr. E. S. Ervin, a
prominent citizen of that place. M.

Samuel Lee, colored, who was a
notorious character around Sumter
during the days of good stealing, died
in Washington Friday last and was
buried in Sumter Tuesday. Lee held

convicted in Spartanburg in Novem

Edward Boykin, 19 years old, had
a thrilling experience with a burglar
in bis father’s house. ‘‘Millbanks,”
near Camden Tuesday night. About
midnight young Boykin was awakened
by a noise, and supposing his dog
had gotten into his room, spoke to it.
The next moment he was clutched
by the chest with one hand, while
with the other the burglar held a
razor to his throat, warning him not
to speak. Boykin struck up the
armed hand and sprang out of bed.
The burglar jumped out on the
piazzza. drew a pistol and pointed it
at Boykin, but did not shoot. The
young man gave chase, picking up an
empty gun. The intruder got away
in the bushes.
Two little boys, Robert Bishop and
Darling Sistare, were drowned near
the Arcade Mills in Rock Hill Sun
day afternoon. They were 12 and
13 years of age, respectively, and
with one younger boy had gone out
to the quarry pond to go in bathing
It seems that the two older boys un
dressed quickly, and one of them
jumped into the water, which is six
to fifteen feet deep. This boy went
down and the other immediately
jumped in and went under the water.
The youngest boy was frightened at
this sight and ran home. It «ras
about a half hour before any one’
could reach the pond. Tbe bodies,
with seemingly some life In thenr,
were brought out; but all efforts to
resuscitate were in vain.

The admiral iu his letter challenges
that specification, which states as a fact,
that he had disobeyed orders and sug

that according to official records Admi

Henry Criticised-Revival Meeting in
Progress -Personal News.
(Correnpondence of The Ledger.)
Ett.v Jane, July 30.—Nothing of
an unusual interest has taken place
in our section since our last letter.
A very good delegation of our peo
ple attended children’s day at Meso
potamia last Sabbath and express
themselves as highly pleased with
the exercises. Considerable disap
pointment was caused by the non-
appearance of the invited speakers.
However, the vacancy was filled by
others. Rev. Mr. Creech made one of
the •'finest lectures on ‘‘Christian
Training” this community has been
treated to in many years, if ever.
The weather for tbe past two weeks
has been unusually warm. It is
testing the powers of endurance of
both man and beast. Many farmers
have plowing and hoeing both to do
yet before they dismiss their crops.
As a general rule there are more
poor horses and mules in the coun
try now than we usually find. This
is accounted for by the great amount
of hard plowing they have done.
After each freshet the ground was
re-broken and it was very tough—
much more so than it usually is for
the time of year, and in consequence
of this tbe stock and men both got a
b&ck set.
The young corn and cotton are
growing nicely and there is a fair
prospect for a crop yet.

Steel Strike Adjustment Yet

PRES. SHAFFER ANXIOUS
He Is Working Hard to Bring About •
Settlement, but There Seems to Be
a>harp Snug In tbe Way—Strikers
Are Restless.
Pittsburg, Aug. 1.—The third ses
sion of the meeting of the executive
board of the Amalgamated associatiou
began this morning and no decisive de
cision, whether for continned war or
peace, is looked for today.
President Shaffer appears to be ex
ceedingly anxious to bring about a set
tlement of the controversy, but it does
not seem that he will be snccessfnl iu
persuading the majority of his associ
ates unless he is able to obtain for them
some modification of the terms that
were laid down to them by the big cor
poration. He spent all of yesterday m
endeavors to obtain some concessions,
and the secret conferences by long dis
tance telephone aud with Messrs. Veryl
Preston and Joseph E. Schwab of the
United States Steel corporation, who
are iu the city, were many, and it is be
lieved fruitless.
This unsettled condition of affairs has
produced a great restlessness among
these interested iu the outcome, and
while everybody hopes today will bring
an end to the strike, many are still ap
prehensive. Toe snag must be a- Very
sharp one to produce such dissensions
ns has' mauitesfed itself among the
members of the executive committee.
Armed Neutrality Kxists.
Pending the result of the conference
there exists a sort of armed nentrality
between the opposing factions. The
strike leaders have relaxed none of their
vigilance, and the officials of the Steel
combine are going ou with their plans
to start the mills.
There was some excitement at Wells-
ville last night over the report that
enough men to start two miUs were
coming from Apollo. Trains were closely
watched aud the river front guarded all
night, hut no new men arrived. The
advisability of dealing forcibly with the
new men was openly disoassed and the
rabid expressions foreshadowed the
growing bitterness that sooner or later
before
that isn’t
the
very
back of his neck and
shoulders catching the force of the
fall on the sand, his spinal column
was dislocated near the neck. His
comrades seeing the accident quickly
pulled him out of the water aud pre
vented his being drowned. Mr.
Manning was taken to the home of
Mr. J. R. Barnhill, and a physician
sent for. Dr. W. H. Bagwell, who
attended him. says almost his entire
body is paralyzed and his condition
is very serious.
A story comes from Northampton
county to the effect that, a few days
ago while Henry Moody was walking
along a lonely country road in that
county there suddenly appeared be
fore him Wilkes Soott, a man who
has been dead since January. Moody
recognized Scott, at once, and was
about to turn and run when the ap-
paration spoke and askei if it®
(Moody) was afraid of him. Moody
says he then felt no fear and an
swered : “I was at first, but am no
afraid now.” Scott said: ‘‘Well
ant you to get me something to
;e. I have been in purgatory ever
I left here, and what I get
£es not agree with me.
/storlonsly as he bad come I
id and left Moody standing
to the jury the defendant would have
been convicted of murder. Perhaps
that is only a matter ol opinion.
Mr. Henry’s experience as a prose
cuting officer is, no doubt, that
juries will lean to the side of mercy
rather than justice, and the proba-
bilitiSs are that he might not have
succeeded so well in open court as
even to got his roan for ten years,
aud so, with the light before him,
he adopted this plan as the safest one
to pursue. Mr. Henry shows that he
has the nerve and backbone to face
his responsibility when he says,
there is any mistake in it I only am
alone personally responsible for it,
and after reviewing the testimony at
the inquest he concludes thus:
“Giving the benefit of doubt as to
who started tbe fight and as to who
first got tbe gun in the fight, is a
case of manslaughter. Besides, ten
years is the life of an ordinary con
vict. It is my experieoce that the
hardest thing to do is to convict a
person of murder without a recom
mendation of mercy, which means
life imprisonment. When a man has
done his duty with the light
him be has done all.” If

judge. _ .
