^ We are in receipt of a copy of
\ a biographical sketch of Rev.
\ Coonrod A. 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. M
k
IT WAS JUST THAT WAY. t
It is hardly worth while now '
o be counting the chickens that
light have beon hatched if tho-j
ggs had been sound and pro- r
erly nested The Democratic f
arty was routed "horse, foot c
nd dragoon," and it would not 1
ave been much better had any |
ther leader led and any other ^
latform of principles been I
dopted. The Republicans had 1
lie advantage of being far
head at the start and was fully
quipped with the "sinews of
rar" which the Democrats did
ot have and could not get.?

THE MINU TOM-BS.
'heir Destruction Would bo a
Disgrace to Civilization. fi

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

['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.
