Saturday, June 23, 1900.
The Republican National convention
which met Tuesday in
Philadelphia, nominated Wm.
McKinley and Gov. Roosvelt lor
president and vice president respectively.
The convention was
out and dried for McKinley con
sequently no other name was con
nidered for the head of the ticket
When the selection of a man for
the second place on their ticket
came up there was not so much
unanimity. Ilanna urged the
name of Secretary Long, but
finally he abandoned his man,
and Governor Roosvelt was unan
imously nominated.
Mr. W. H. Wallace who lias
recently assumed editorial
charge of the Greenville News,
makes this reference to South
Carolina's politicians, and it is
painfully true :
"There is entirely too much
politics in South Carolina, and
and there are too many politicians.
Our people set too much
store by "issues" and place too
high a value on "views," and
too small a value on the character
and capacity of those who
aspire to a public office. We are
too much concerned about measures
and too little about men.
Therefore shallow and unprincipled
demagogues who can
catch the popular breeze and
trim their sails accordingly,
who often have no real opinions
of their own, and are mentally
incapable of having any; get
into high and responsible places,
while men of intellect and character,
however patriotic and
however well equipped for public
service, are rejected because
they are too honest and brave
to profess allegiance to some political
vagary that has captured
the popular favor for the moment.
The consequence is that
South Carolina is afflicted with
manv officers of indifferent1
^ ~ ~ ~ j
character and mean ability, and j
the demagogue is preferred to
the statesman."

Alleged Anarchy in China.
London, June 21.?The most
startling news from the tar East
is the rumoied death of ViceAdmiral
Seymour, but no credence
whatever is attached to the
report here.
The statement that Li Hung
Chang has cancelled his passage
to Pekin is interesting. How he
manages to disobey the Dowager
Empress's urgent command is not
clear, but evidently fear of a revolution
in Canton in the event of
ilia departure induced the consuls
to bring strong pressure to bear
Special dispatches from Shanghai
continue to recount wholesale;
slaughter at Pekin. The soldiers
and Boxers are said to be massa
creeing each other, and the Chi
nese Manchurians are also said to
be engaged in mutual slaughter.!
Prince Tuan is alleged to have
uapboit n nil luirnoit nala*a itir. I
Emperor id reported to have been !
killed, the Dowager Empress is!
represented as missing and in j
some quarters it is believed she
has committed suicide. All this
purports to have been contained
in a letter from Pekin received
by a high official Chinaman at
Shanghai.

When two Chinamen meet
they shake hands. That is to say,
each shakes and squeezes his
own hands and covers his head.
If the meeting is after a long
parting, after the hand-shaking
is over the friends rub shoulders
till theyare tired. Instead of in
quiring after one another's
health, it is ettiquette to say :
"Have you eaten your rice?
Where are you going! What is
your business there? What did
you pay for your shoes? How old
are you ?"
A RICH CONVICT.
ftiin Scheme For A voiding a Sen
teuce ot Hard Labor.
Quito an interesting story ha
been developed by the return t
the penitentiary of Johi
Stuckey, a white convict, fron
the Scarborough farm in Surnte
county.
Stuckey was convicted inSpcr
tauburg about a year ago of kill
ing J. (J. Servier, who was a olerl
in his store, and owing to the
promiuence of the parties th<
case wa in many respects a sen
sational one. Stuckey was fouu<
guilty of manslaughter ;uid wa
sentenced to 20 years' imprison
tuent. lie is said to be quite wel
"fixed" in this world's goods.
According to the story as re
lated by the penitentiary author
ities, Mr. Scarborough is a ruai
who coutracts for convicts ai
laborers on his farm. It appear
that he was also a relative ol
Stuckey, nnd when he got his las
batch of convicts he asked tha
Stuckey be included. Not know
ing of any relationship existmj
between the two meu he wai
turned over to Mr Scarborough
It was later reported to the ail
thori ties that Stuckey was not be
ing an a convict, but was raallj
having a pretty good time. It ii
alleged that he was actually
hoarding with Mr. Scarborougl
and paying for it.
Acting upon these reports tlx
superintendent and the board ol
directors ordered Stuckey to be
brought back tc the penitentiary
lie is now in that institution
again in stripes, and at work it
the commissary department.?

A member of the British Iioum
of commons, who has had an im
porta nt communication fron
South Africa, is telling a story o
a teleirram alleged to have bees
received from Cape Town, whicl
says that Mr. Kruger lias reall;
escaped and is already on t.h<
seas bound lor Europe, and tha
the person occupying the Kxecu
tive car is not Mr. Kruger, but i
a substitute.
the Pretoria correspondent o
Tlie Daily Telegraph in a dis
patch, dated Sunday, says : 4kA
informal truce for five days is i
operation bet ween Lord Robert
and Commandant Botha."
One of the most curious char
ities in Surry, England, lias .jus
been distributed in the village c
Wotten. In 17l?< a rosiden
named William tilenville died
leaving a will which directei
that lie should he bar's d in th
churohyard "fix yards undo
ground," antl that -10 shilling
apiece should he paid annual!;
to live poor hoys of the parish
who, on the anniversary of hi
death, with their hands laid 01
the gravestone, should ropea
by heart the Lord's prayer, tin
creed, and the commandments

write too verses of tlie* chapter
Later the number of hoys par
ticipating in the charity ha
been increased from five t<
seven. This year 10 hoys of
fered to compete, but only 1
attended. The first seven won
successful, and the. unsucccsa
