The contract for the Saluda Valley railroad from Greenville to Marietta has been let to a larse construction company of Philadelphia and it is expected that the 27 mile stretch of the road will he completed by the first day ,of next March. The dispensary question, which has been agitated in Darlington county for the ia^t few months without any let up. will be settled finally on 10th day of next month, this being the lay fix ed, by Supervisor Milling, of that county, for an election on the question of “dispensary” or “no dispensary.” The State board of dispensary di- ~rqctors met Tuesday afternoon. No statement was issued that morning by any member of the board as was rumored the day before.

The following article was written by Rev. W. E. Crocker, of Chinkiang, China, for a newspaper in China, and may prove interesting to some of our readers. A portion of it refers to the recent attempt of the Chinese to boy cott American goods, and is a trans lation of a proclamation which was sent out through the empire to incite the natives against Americans: Chinkiang, Ku., 3rd Aug. It is in the mouth of everybody that this is the hottest summer for many years, but notwithstanding this the tennis courts are kept pretty lively in the late afternoons at the park. One matter of some little interest just now is the boycott of American goods, which is in progress. As one Chinaman said, “Chinkiang will follow Shanghai.” I give below a transla tion of a proclamation which is posted up all over the place. It says: “The scholars and merchants, having heard that the Americans are treating inno cent Chinese labourers without reas on with extreme cruelty, to such an extent that it cannot be told, we, the Chinese, have become aroused to use all the power we can to stop this cruel treatment. The plan adopted is to stop using American goods—and in all places this has been agreed upon— therefore let" us truly carry it out We give the names of the different brands of merchandise which may not be bought. All Chinese are invited to note these goods particularly, and not to buy them, and let every one consider this of the greatest import ance. Let there he one mind in this and thus great good will be accomp lished. As one family of brothers, let each one daily stand by fhis cove nant.” Then follows a list of goods which are to be boycotted. Naturally many rumors have arisen on account of the extreme ignorance of the peo ple. One is that anyone who buys anything, even the least thing Anij^ A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE.

The Warren Scruggs, Jr., in company with two other boys of his age, was climbing in the dome of the State capitol building in Columbia Tuesday morning, when he fell in some way on the steel ceiling which gave way, precipating him on his head on the marble floor of the main body, 45 feet below. Death was instantaneous. He was the only child of his parents and was aged 17. His father is manager of the Hub, a large retail clothing store in Columbia. He was manager for J. B. White & Company, of Augus ta, for several years. State Constable Jenkins raided an Ebenezer tiger Tuesday morning at day light. He found a bed beside an open window on the first floor. A jug, corks, bottles and funnel sat beside it. The officers allege that the owner lay in the bed and sold whiskey through the window without having to get up. On the same raid the constables were fired upon from a woods. They look ed for the ambusher but only suc ceeded in catching seven negro gamb lers. These were allowed to go. .Jen kins says owing to coldness shown him by Yorkville court authorities at last term of court when he had a simi lar case for trial, that he wouldn’t hold the men. lean, will Ji<\ve,.Tvjrs ’neaVl cut Off a: quM'. • Nlfhers say that all the Amer icans are to be driven out of China, for they have been cruelly murdering the Chinese in America. A Chinese teacher says that in the proclamation they have to put it strongly so as to get the people properly angry, so they can he induced to stop buying things American. To those who know the inflammable character of the ignorant Chinese it would seem that this movement had better be watched in its workings amongst the masses, or else there may be stirred up a spirit of unreasoning animosity which will find expression in an unhappy manner. Wilkinsville, Sept. 11.—Late Satur day evening last we learned by 'phone that Mrs. Isabella Smith, of Smith’s Ford, was not expected to live, and also that Mr. John R. Kennedy was lying very low, having called in two doctors to see him. By a typographical error we were made to say in one of our recent let ters that only f<^ur votes were cast at Wilkinsville at the late primary election for member of the legisla tore when it should have been forty two votes. Messrs. Jack and Jim Smarr, of Hopewell, attended the meeting at Elbethel yesterday. They are per- hans looking after the girls on this side of the river. Messrs. Sam Strain and Leslie Blackwell also attended preaching at Elbethel yesterday, when several con verts received the sacrament of bap tism. Little Archie Strain has a very sore linger that has thrown him into fever. From all appearances the reunion of the United Confederate veterans will he held at Greenville this year.

High Point shipped by actual count two hundred and thirty-nine solid cars of furniture during the month of Au gust. This does not include the many cars that were partly filled and are loaded together as mixed ship ments, which would bring the number up to about four hundred. Mr. Dan Kennedy, a well known young man of Spencer, while climbing a tad tree Tutsday aifernoon for mus cadines, fell forty feet to the ground and was seriously if not fatally in jured. The unfortunate man is most seriou-ly injured about the shoulders and hips, one Iqg and one arm being broken, besides severe bruises to th body. few Lost Two Toes. George McLaughlin, one of the col ored laborers at the Southern station in Charlotte, Tuesday morning while steel rails were being unloaded from a hand car, suffered the loss of two toes by the fall of a rail on his foot. The accident, was not seen by any of the other workmen and the victim had walked ton feet before his foot was examine?!. The two toes next to the big toe were cut off entirely, the big toe was hanging by flesh and* will in all probability have to be ampu tated. When McLaughlin was asked if it hurt to have the toes cut off he said that he didn’t feel any pain at all from the wound. He was among the most interested onlookers and evidenced no sign of pain. Nothing but the possibility of Gov ernor Heyward taking a hand in the case now stands between Fletcher Byrd and Palmer Cresswell, now In j ail in Greenville, and the hangman’s noose. Death awaits them on No vember 10, and the stern majesty of the law will demand a retribution for the murder of Magistrate W. J in Greenville county.

Several members of the Salvation Army arrived in the city yesterda>\ and at once began preaching in the street. The party consists of two men. four women, two small boys and three girls. They held three services yesterday, morning, afternoon and night, and will probably follow the n . same program during their stay in Gaffney. The day services attracted good crowds. Fire destroyed a corload of matches *t the Southern Railway depot in Greenville at 3 o’clock Tuesday morn-; ing. The fire department had to be called to put out the flames which were bursting through the roof when | come of the yard crew discovered what had happened. The matches | were a total loss and the carload was; valued at $1,5«>0. The damage to the ( car was considerable. Associate Justice Gary Tuesday re fused to reverse the order of Judge Townsend, that the dispensaries of Union must close and the matter will probably remain as It is, until set tled by the Supreme Court in Novem ber. The liquor dispensary closed and the beer dispensaries are doing no business. A Birthday Dinner. The descendants of Mrs. Penina Stacy honored their aged relative by ! a birthday dinner yesterday at the l home of her son-in-law, Mr. Henry j Gaffney, near the old Cow pens fur- i i.Vipe. A large number of relatives j and friends gathered to extend con gratulations to Mrs. Stacy, and to | lend their assitance in making the occasion a pleasant one for her. The dinner was an elegant affair, and. as ! might he supposed, no one came away hungry. The day was a very enjoy able one to all who were present.

They wanted to have their annual re union, he said, and though it pained him to say it. not a city in the State had yet extended an invitation. It would cost about $1,000 to entertain the veterans. Their presence would mean a great deal to the city and to the fair, and their visit could hardly mean an expense in the end.” It will be the last week in October— 24th, 25th, 2Gth and 27th, and a most delightful time to spend in the moun tain city. It is very probable that Co lumbia will also invite the reunion to meet there Fair Week in November. Mrs. Alice Dowdle and Miss Barbara Brown, of Hopewell, are both quite sick. Mrs. J. H.

Mrs. Gaines is a delightful hostess and her entertainments are al ways thoroughly enjoyable. The de corations were dainty and beautiful and the charming appearance of the parlor was further enhanced by great vases of lovely roses. There were tables for four-hand games of flinch and four leaf clover cards were used for scores. After the games delightful refreshments were served by Misses Alice Gaines and Carrie Stewart. Among those present were: Misses Annie and Kate Brown, of Vii^inia; Lucy Ledbetter, of Alabama; Ehoff and Brohawn, of Baltimore: Bessie Kendrick, Winnie Davenport, Lillian Wood, Annie Johnson, Nannie C.

Good Work of Rev. B. P. Robertson of That City. (Baltimore Sun.) The united evangelistic campaign for the summer is over, and the com mittees to whom were intrusted the preparations for the campaign in co operation with the superintendent, Rev. B. P. Robertson, have done their work well. The campaign was so well organized that there was not a hitch from be ginning to end, and the co-operation of the churches of different denomina tions was without friction. "Perhaps there has never been such a sweet Christian fellowship manifest ed in any city as has been witnessed in this city this summer in this cam- paign,” said Rev. Mr. Robertson yes terday. “Surely, the spirit of God in augurated and directed it.” Every part of the city has been reached at some time by one of the tents, one of the stereopticon® or by one of the wagons. Over 116,000 have attended the services. Services num bering 440 have been held and ovqf 1,50«i persons have signed cards ex pressing a determination to live a belter life. Fully as many more, it is hlieved, have been influenced to make the same decision, hut have not 1 cards. The pastors of the citv have man ifested a self-denying disposition in Pleaching voluntarily. “Surely,” said •Mr. .Lobertson, “the people of the world outside the churches cannot say any more that the churches are not interested in it. The Christian ’vople of this city dur tig the summer have gone forth volu. tarily to reach those who do not att n:l church, and Go i has wonderfully blessed their la bors. I have plenty of letters from the workers and con/erts that would do any heart good o read. It has been the happiest s immer the work- .o have ever spe \ judging from their letters.” The campaign has cost about $5,000, including all of the expenses. Over 133,000 tracts were distributed and 4.000 Testaments given to people who did not have them. While economy was exercised, nothing was left un done to make the campaign a success. Now the superintendent and exe- cuyyp _commilte^ are trying to soatire- co-operation of all' the~~7*T?urche's ffV a great evangelistic campaign in ths churches, beginning the first Sun day in November.

Frank Kirkham, a young man about 23 years old, employed by the Bell Telephone company at Florence, fell 30 feet front an electric pole Monday and was almost instantly killed. He and another employe of the telephone company wore testing some boxes on the polo and had just finished hnd started down when young Kirkham cam# in contact with a live wire which threw him violently to the ground about 30 feet below, falling on his hack. Only two or three weeks ago young Kirkham fell from a wire about the same distance and would in all probability have been killed hut he caught an arm on the ^ole about half way down, which broke his fall, and in all probability saved his life then. Monday was the first day he had been hack to work and still carried one arm in a sling. Granted Bail. W. L. Hadden, who killed T. M. Glenn near Wood’s Chapel a few weeks ago, was granted hail Monday by Judge Townsend, the sum being fixed at $2,000. Hadden gave the bond and has been released from jail. This tragedy is a peculiar one. Thf cir cumstances wer^ that late one night, some of the female members of Had den’s family detected a £ace peering into the house from a window and no tified Mr. Hadden. He went to the door, fifed at a rapidly retreating fig ure and returned inside the house. The next morning he discovered tho body of T. M. Glenn, his neare-t neigh bor, an aged and substantial citizen, lying stiff and cold in death, about 50 yards from his (Hadden’s) front door. —Ask to see our Negligee Shirts; strong line from 25c to $1.00.

Several physicians divided honors for writing the highest number, each writing from 35 to 40. The Seashore Hotel at Wrightsville Beach closed for the season Monday. Manager Joe Hinton says the past season has been the most successful he has ever enjoyed. The hotel has been filled with guests almost from the day of the opening to the close and otherwise the season has been most satisfactory. If the crowds that visit Wrightsville continue—and there is no doubt but that they will continue to increase from year to year—the hotel will have to he enlarged and that is now being considered.
