Copyright, 1000, Tho A3sooiate<l Press. Shanghai, Sept. 4.?Dispatches announcing that the American government realises to agree to the withdrawal of the troops from Pekin before satisfaction for the outrages upon and the losies of its subjects is giveu. have been received here and are applauded by the entire foreign colony in Shanghai. Any other policy, according to tho business iueu ?uu iijitttfiunanes wim Wliom the Associated Press represnrative has talked, would be a vital bl ?w to tl e prestige of the foreigners and would weaken their sta'up in China. The English papers fiercely denounce the proposal to evacuate Pekin and say that the Chinese would interpret evacuation as defeat. The masses of Chinamen now believe that the Chinese arms are victorious. The Chinese papers printed in Shanghai contain loug circumstantial accounts of alleged Chinese victories at Pekin, Tien Tsin and Lung Chou, and the shops in the native quarter display for sale lurid pictures of the celestial army driving the European soldiers into the sea at Taku and cutting them to pieces at Tien Tsin. They also show pictures of the foreign admirals being tortured in the presence of the viceroys. Tho people accept these reports as correctly reproe enting the situation and consider the reports of the English press as "merely foreign lies." 1 ho European community con* tinues to demand the destruction of Pekin and the exemplary pun: _ i ? ?? ti, - ~ .1? iDUincut kjl i iic uuiv^iain, uopiiiiu^ indemnity aud paper promises of new treaties inadequate. Undoubtedly the information in detail of masacre6 of foreigners daily received inflames this sentiment. The em pre 88 dowager is living in tiie Yamen at Tai Yuan Fu, in Shan Si province. Fifty missionaries have been slatight ered in that Yamen under her orders and practically in the presence of the viceroy. Three were beheaded in the inner court and me others were killed barbariously in the outer court yard. tm j 4.^ 4?, a i linn uuuicn note via t u n u tu iuc Jogs." The empress has ordered a commissioner to investigate the conduct oi the southern viceroys who made a compact with the foreign consuls and their degradation is expected. The Associated Press repies- j entative learns from ollicial sources the facts of the killing ol several American women missionaries. At the request of the mission board the details were withheld out of regard for the feelings of the murdered women, but other prominoul Americans who have long antagonized the jMy i v y u t ouiiuiu^ n uiuuu i u iau* lated inland posts, think it important that the facts should he known. The names of the victims are withheld hy request. Two of these women were captured while attempting to leave the stations where they were located, were led about the country naked, repeatedly outraged and finally killed by a method too re volting to be described. Two other American women were coming to the coast with a party which a number of Chinamen followed and stoned. The women fell exhausted and were taken by the Chinamen into the presence of the local officials. They were prostrated upon the execution XI L. 1- f !- i ? ? i diook ana a iemi was mado or beheading them. One of them became hysterical and laughed, and, thinking her insane, the Chinese escorted her to the coast because of their superstition regarding the insane. On the journey, however, the woman was repeatedly criminally assaulted by her escort. The other womnn, after being exhibited naked for some days and suffering assault by sevoral men, was tortured to death by the same shameful methods as weie practiced in the other case. Two Swedish missionary women arrived at Shanghai after similar exderiencs except that their lives were spared.

IlUUgll, Lancaster, IS. C. Dear Sir: The growing inter-' >st 1 feel in industrial education irompted me to come abroad his summer for the purpose of itudying this important subject it the i'aris Exposition and in >ther countries of Europe. The exhibit here is very fine and cost niilions of dollars to get up in a sonvenieut and accessible form, his expense being shared by >very civilized country on the ;lobe. I have gathered many new ind helpful ideas from it which . hope to incorporate in our vork at home. A little later 1 hope to lay beore all who are interested the' esults of my enquiries, at pres ?nt I can only write briefly to lay that 1 shall return home more ieeply irnprested than ever before with the peculiar advantages possessed by our own beauti:ul southland. God has surely olessed us abundautly, and by properly educating and training >ur children, they will share sven more graciously in these blessings than we have done so rar. We are sending our cotton to Kurope and getting 6 and 7 cents i pound for it, and the people Here are working it up in various ways and sending it back to us, raHi n or throp and fnnr dnllora a pound for it. In many canon they get morn than three dollars for the fininhed. I know of a lady who. a short time #ago bought a garment, for which she paid at t,he rate of two hundred and mventy dollars a pound for the gooda, which were cotton, but of sourae this ia a rare exception. Now what ia true of cotton ia lino true of our iron, wood, marble and other raw materialn with which the fifteen southern states :rprij 8, 1900. are bo abundantly supplied. There is a daager of ovordoing the thing in making a cheap and common class of goods such as the south has most y made heretofore, but the market is always good for the fiuer and better clacS of goods, it takes skilled later of the highest class to train workers for making the finest and best things. My idea is that industrial tra.ning should be introduced in every school, both the city and country, in its elementary forms, just as we could and should introduce Nature study, Physical culture. Moral study, etc., and that this work should advance with the pupil's growth until all who wish to do so should enter the state industrial and textile school. We should also have iu the south one great, central industrial institution where the bept talent in the world could be employed in teaching teachers and men and women who are ca pable of leadership. I am working on this plan also and hope nun ormi o iuu^ 11J rt)|JI)n some substantial progress. There are people who believe it imprac ticable to teach anything in our schools but the three "Its," but. we have a rising and strong genernation who believe that the three "lis" should take the place of the three "Its"?that iR Head. Heart and Hand?and I am one of them. Of course there are difficulties to meet and overcome, they can and will be mec and mastered? they must be. We must also use our united efforts in securing the Nicaraguan Canal?orsomeoas" way of crossing the isthmus, for this will open up the market of the eastern world, and prove in many ways an enormous advantage to us, provided, of course, we are awake and prepared to take advantage of these new openings. What we need to do is educate our children properly ; give them all-round training aud developmeat, education that will bring ' out their strongest and best I qualities and then we will have j beautifully developed men and | women who will be capablo of doing from five to teu times as] much in the world as those who nro nonrlv equipped. It is to this work that 1 have dedicated my life and in which 1 ask your aid and co operation. Iu emphasizing industrial education I do not mean to ignore classical studies. There are however, few who enter the professions, while the great masses need to make their living in other lines. In Nature study and element ary Agriculture our children get a newer and grander conception of farming life than they would have otherwise. The new education you see, is many sided and i embraces the best, in everything.! There are other things of inter- j est in connection with the expo- i sition about which I would like i to write you, also about the | schools I have visited, hut cannot j do so now. Thanking you for your kindlv co-operation in the past, and , with a world of good wishes, I remain, B. F. Johnson.

It ban been proved to be the1 only practical solution of the liquor question. 1'eople always have and always will have liquor. The greatest evil to the public is the liquor seller. The more he sells the greater his profit. The profit feature is his only incen live, therefore, more the en couragement ho offers the buyer buys more and more. That being the case that compels the unfortunate to buy more and more. The Dispensary solves this: The Dispenser gets Ins salary whether he sells one drop or not, and he is not allowed to indulge in seductive and disastrous credit system. It is of no interest to him to sell impure liquor or to seduce a minor or to give free lunch to the unwary. lie is y<m bar* BJ HnythinKtoMll advertise it ii Sn<^ f the EnterpriH Rates roaaouftble.

PROHIBITIONISTS FIGHT TilE DISPENSARY, BUT THEY AKK EXCEED INULY CAREFUL NOT TO IN TERFERB WITH BLIND TIGERS. Mow different is the blind tiger, the progeny of prohibition, whose only ambition is to make dollars lor himself and drunkards for the State, and whose only claim to citizenship is based on his brazen effrontery as a law breaker. Kut it is contended there are tigers under the Dyspensary system. Certainly, but the Dispensay law does not make tigers. Do you suppose people patronize tigers because there is a dispensary law, or because they want liquor to drink ? It is the patronage that makes tigers, and is it not natural to con lll(lo that if VOll !?hnliaV? fliQ dispensary that the pationage heretofore going to the dispensary will go to the blind tigers, thereby increasing them ten fold. Then, when the dispensary goes, the special oflicer must go and with only the civil officers, who are now unable to cope with the few tigers, the chaotic condition that mn8t follow is enough to stagger every citizen who loves his home and respects the law. Under a prohibition la w a heavy tax must be levied upon every one to enforce the law whether he favors prohibition or not. But, under the dispensary law every trifling negro who buys his flask of liquor contributes a tax to the town and county to see that he keeps the peace, to work the road and to educate the children. UKAl'TIFlIL 8ENTIMKNT >1ISEKAIILR FAILURE IN PRACTICE. Prohibition is a beautiful sentiment, but a miserable failure in practice. The prohibitionist can use no stronger argumentjhan to cite the states that have tried prohibition. Let us see the result of such argument. Maine, Iowa and Kansas have prohibition under their constitutions. Now compare these states with South Carolina by the report of the United States commissioner of internal revenue fer the year ending June 30, 1899: Maine?Number of retail liquor dealers, 1,125. Iowa?Number of retail liquor dealers, 3 730. Kansas?Number of retail liquor dealers, 2,581. South Carolina?Number of rerail liquor dealers, 324. positive p/.oof tiiht tiik dirpknsary is 11kttr than prohibition. The 324 credited to South Carlina includes every liquor dispensary in the state. Thus it is seen that the prohibition state of Kansas, with one and one half million population, has over ten times as many illegal liquor licenses as South Carolina. That Iowa, with a fraction over two million population, has sixteen times as many, and that the state of Maine, with about seven hundred thousand population (about one-half the population of South Carolina), has five times as many. "It has now been discovered through suggestions made by a Missouri nurseryman that the persimmon represents the 'missing link' among fruit trees, and that grafts of seed or atone fruit thrive equally well whan transferred to its trunk. The great advantage in this discovery lies in the fact that the persimmon is the hardiest fruit tree in existence, and will thrive on land and under canditions tatal to otler trees. This gives the persimmon tree great value, and makes an orchard possible in the most worthless land."?Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner.
