Plyler, written by \ Rev. W. A. Betts of Kershaw. It contains many interesting incidents of the life and work of that remarkable character and devout servant of God. The riot at Georgetown a few weeks ago is fresh in the memory of all. The negro John Broom field who killed Deputy Scurry has been found guilty of murder and is sentenced tr? !>*? hanged. This is a specimen of j speedy justice that is very badly a needed in this Slate and that v would do more than any one ^ thing to abolish mob law. 1 F The latest trust announced is B one for the control of all the pine j lumber of North and South Car- a olina and Virginia. It is to be ^ composed of fourteen of the lar- j gest, lumber companies in those i three States. It is to be capital t ized at about $25,000,000, and ^ the necessary money will be forthcoming. What shall we ex f poet next to be controlled by a * trust? Air and water? The lisl c v of things not now controlled by ^ trusts is growing painfully small. 3 ? a The annual report of the com- * missioner of internal revenue for ^ the fiscal year ending June 30th n of this year shows that the enor ^ mous sum of $295,310,107 was a collected from the people of the c United States during the year, P and yet Commissioner Wilson in his report says that "receipts 0 given for deposits from banks c other than savings banks should b be taxed." If this was done it a would reduce the deposits in banks other than savings banks, n or it would necessitate the ex- tl pense of a two cent stamp every n time money is drawn from a 11 bank, just as it now is with a checks. Whether or not congress, which convenes next month, will adopt Mr. Wilson's suggestion re- n mains to be seem ; but with the increase in the size of the standing army to 70 000 as rqcommended by Gen. Miles, we need not pj be surprised to see commissioner *' Wilson's suggestion become law.

'heir Destruction Would bo a Disgrace to Civilization. fi urtla iu Clilcargo KueorcL ^ t It will be an everlasting dis- , ;raco to civilization if the Ming ombs are destroyed by the ex- . >edition which Count von Wald- . rsee is said to have sent north . rom 1'ekin for that purpose. It -J rill be as wicked and inexcusa- ' >le as if the British had destroy- * ?d Mount Vernon in 1814, when 1 hey captured Washington, or as i f the Germans had burned the t dote! des Invalides and the ) omb of Napoleon when they ( :aptured I'aris. To a Chinaman ( he burial place of the dead is J he most sacred spot on earth ind the Ming dynasty of emper>rs wede the most famous and f jopular in all the long list of < lovereigns. They were the last of ( he pure Chinese. They call it 1 'the bright dynasty." Their i ombs are situated beyond the jreat wall, about 90 miles from L'eKin, ana are not only the most loly sanctuary in China, but are ] he tiuest example of mediaeval , Chinese architecture and art in i existence. In 1859 Lord Elgin and Gen. 1 iiontaubond commanding the j illies that captured Pekiu want- i inly destroyed Yuen-Ming-Yuen, ' he summer palace of the emper- ] ?r, distant 12 or 15 miles, in a , >eautiful park known as the l bright round garden." It was * lot a fortification, but a retreat ike Sans Souci, the country palice of Frederick the Great. It f ras the most elaborate and costy example of architecture in all yhiua and was filled with a col- < action o? articles which Lord Clgin himself appraised at 1,000, 00 pounds. At the time of the irrival of the allies the summer >alace was occupied only by the ervants oi the court. No defense 1 vas made, no excuse existed, but ho commanders of the army of hree Christian nations ordered t burned and stood by to wateh he destruction. Is it any wonler that the Chinese call us "for>ign devils ?" The Ming tombs are equally ,1 1 I __ I . * i niiiuue mihi equany oeauilIUi. ['hey wore built in the fourteenth entury by Emperor Yueng Lohn vho was one of the greatest of he rulers of China. They are ituated in the midst of a broad mphitheater, surrounded on hroe sides by a range of moun ains usually covered with snow, 'he park, which is about three ailes in diameter, is covered with roves of evergreen, arbor vitae nd persimmon trees, in which a ollection of fourteen pantheons, agodas, pavilions, altars, tern ?les and other edifices, mostly of larble, exquisitety carved. The ther buildings are of brick and ovored with titles of the most eautiful design. These buildings re connected by bridges of wonerful workmanship and surrouned by balustrades and colon- " ades, and from one direction uwro in ttn avpnuo or sraiuary a lilo long, lined with life-size fig res in broze and marble of men nd animals, warriors, priests, elehants, camels, lions, tigers and orses. The Ming tombs have been cglected of late years and are rid to be in a bad condition, but would be a crime to destroy rem. Nothing could be gained y such vandalism, because the 1 resent emperor and empress C iwager are descended from the anchu warriors who overthrew > he Ming dynasty and drove them rom the throne. It is an interesting coincidence hut Ping Ti?or the "Prince of I'eoce," as he is known in Chiliuese poetry??-one of the most amousoi the Ming emperors, whs in the throne at the beginning of he Christian era, when another nau who bore the same title w; )orn in Bethlehem. Ming Ti, lis son and successor, introduced buddhism into China and sent to ndia for the sacred books and eachers to expound them. Antiquarians say that Ming Ti was prompted to do this because of eports that had reached him of he advent of Christ. The news vas indefinite and came by carivans across the whole of Asia. Alien the emperor began his investigation the clews led to India nstead of to Palestine. To reach the Ming tombs it is lecessary to cross that most vonderful piece of engineering, he great wall, which runs from he soashore 1,600 miles to the lesert wastes of Turkestan. It ivas built 205 years before Christ aid still remains in excellent ;ondition, 25 to 35 feet thick of irick, riveted outside and in vjth cut granite masonry. It is lurmounted by a parapet pierced vilh openings for tlio defenders 0 fire through. The top of the vail is paved with tiles a toot iquare. Every 300 or 400 feet here is a llanking turret 40 feet lighor than the wall and proecting so that one can see in joth directions. In each turrot is 1 circular stone stairway leading rom the ground. The gates are mpoeing structures, surmounted ~>y castles which were used as ^arracks for the troops. The walls dimbs the rugged mountain side, lescends ravins and gorges and ises again to cross rivers and valleys and plains, but it did not jerve its purpose. It was intendsd to keep the Mongol hordes out }f China, but they entered, overthrew the Ming dynasty and are ruling the empire today. PreroHtfil a Tr?redj. Timely information given Mrs. Geo.
