"Great Britain's export of cot ton goods alone, in 1899," says the Chattanooga Times, "was ol greater value than ail the manufactured material the United States sold abroad that year." It would be well for our col orea menus to react an article taken from the Boston Herald, published in another column of the Enterprise. There is much to consider in this article. It shows how much they are thought of by their supposed northern friends. The Wheat Growers' Convention of the State, it is anuounced, will be held in Greenwood on August 15, and the local committee are at work preparing for it. A large attendance is expected and the convention promises to be even more successful than the one laet year. The one last year, it is noted, was so successful that Greenwood County "will not have to buy a barrel of Western flout for the next twelve months." The campaign is progressing nicely. The speeches are, ir the language of a farmer a> Walterboro, "about the same" Save a few extra jabs Col. Pat terson secured in Charleston foi Governor McSweeney. The New: A Courier also came in for it! share. The Col. said the Newi & Courier charged him $45 t< publish the rdsolution of Barn well county endorsing hfm foi Governor. The insinuations made by Mr Patterson several days ago thai Governor McSweeney, had beer patronizing "blind tiger" ir Rolumbia, when put to the test and proof of the inferences asked for fell flat. The gentle man referred to by Mr. Vernor of the Oconee News, whom h( clasms, in a card to The State told him that the Governor visit ed the Merchants' and Manufac tureis Club, on Sunday night before the meeting of the leg islature, and drank whiskej there, deny the statement al leged to him there by them thai the Governor patronized "Blind Tigers."

London, June 18.?A cable dispatch from Shanghai says a telegram from Chefoo says the allied fleet has bombarded the forts of Taku. International troops have occupied the forts. According to a Cheloo dispatch the forts opened fire upon the warships whereupon the fleet silenced the forts aud landed a force. The engagement is said to have been brought on by Japanese warships. An official dispatch from the German consul at Chefoo, received at Berlin, confirms the arrival of a Japanese torpedo boat with reports that legations at Pekin have been taken. London, June 18.?Shanghai cables say that Russia has demanded fifty million taels ($70,000,000) indemnity for damage done to Chinese railroads where Russians are interested. Berlin, .June 18.?The German consul at Chefoo cables that an engagement is proceeding with the fleets and the forts of Taku. London, June 18.?Advices say that the Japan State govern ment sent 1,000 ..oldiers to Tien > Tsin.

Rome, June 18.?The Rropa ganda has received a telegram ; from Manager Meccagalta saying , the situation of the ten bishop k rics in China is alarming. There are twenty Roman Catholic mis* sionaries and eight sisters at the ' mission. r Washington, June IS.?The s navy department has been in s formed by Admiral Kempff that the Taku forts yesterday fired upon the foreign ships, and after 5 a brief engagement, surrendered. AMERICAN TROOPS FOR CHINA. r Washinirtnn. .limn IK If ia stated that American troops have been ordered from the Phil . ippines to China. Whether the t men will be landed or not will ( depend upon the situation when they arrive. The administratioi 1 has decided that to insure pro? tection ot life and property ? throughout China order must be . re estableshed in Pekir and the empress dowager ai>j the Tsung ' Li Lumen impressed with the necessity of actir.g as the powers ' wish in the matter of guarding foreigners and their interests. Japan's course in dispatching t 1,000 men to Taku will bo followed, says a well informed dip loiuat, by Uussia, which might deem it desirable to send a large force, especially since Great t Britain and Japan combined will I have an overwlu lin.ug force in China, unless she draws on her forces at l'ort Arthur and along l? : I : i : .. me oiuenaii irouiier. 'I he action of this g< vrnmenl i in Bending troops to Takti with > the probability that they will be ( landed will have a soothing effect oil Russia's moves, as there is always danger that as British ) and Japanese interests are near i ly identical with Russia's sup ? posed interests. If the foreign legations in I'e , kin have been burned, as report ed, the success of the Boxers has probably been obtained at a fearful cost. Cablegrams to the State department show that on June 1 * there were in I'ekin about 400 marines and sailors.
