"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 insinuations made by Mr

of the Oconee News, whom h(

told him that the Governor visit

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.

have been ordered from the Phil

( depend upon the situation when
they arrive. The administratioi

Japan's course in dispatching

says a well informed dip

deem it desirable to send a large
