This Is a uew road tu mo. it is only ton years old and is callud tho "SAM" road. Tho Seaboard has got It now. Sal Im bought Sam and is running him. If railroads have sex the feminine in ahead. Some mighty big things arc feminine. Ships aro called she, but that they uay it) because tho rigging costs more than tho hull. An old man showed me tho spot at Mt. Vornon where tlio old log schooi housu stood in which my fathor tuught school uomo eighty yours ago. Father used to tell ua Iiis varied experience there. How houio had hoy.-, bad ran throe toachors olT in auecoaalon and broke up the acuoola and bow roluet antly he undertook tho work of reform ing them, lie had about sixty BObolars, boys and girl-, and their ages ranged from eight to eighloeu yours. Tho old est boy w?:i ?ix foot tall, a sapling with long arms and logs, a red head and a freckled face. Lie watt tho ringleader in running the toachorB oil ami father was cautioned about him. Tho first day ho made thum a good kind, friend ly talk, told them ho camo to do them good, to teach them books and morals, and manners, and he wanted thorn to obey tho ruloa and help him to maku the school a bucccbs. Vcu can't afford, he Bald, to grow up without some edu cation. No nice young man would marry tho girls, and no smart girl would marry an uneducatud boy. Now, hoys, when you come Into school after dinner I want you to couio in good or der. Don't rush and crowd tho door way like you did thla morning. You ran ovor a little girl ard throw her down and hurt her. He quiet and or derly and eoine in two or throo at a time, and before you tuko your Boat mako a little bow to me. That's nice : that's good manner-.. I will liko that and I want all of you boya and girls to do that. Will you do It V If you will pleaae hold up your hands. All hands wont up promptly except those of Bill Jenkins, tho red-headed rebel. Next morning ho declined to make a bow, but looked sour and defiant. When school turned out that evening, father heard him say : " I'll bo durned if I'll mako a bow to any Yankee." Next morning two other big boya failed to bow. Bui Jonkina had worked on thorn. That evening father told 13111 to stay in a little while, as ho wished to suo him after school broko up. Iio stayed and the door was ahut. Tho other boya peeped through the cracks between the logs to see and hear what waa go ing on. Father talked to Jenkins kind ly and told him of tho bad example ho waa sotting and ao forth, and begged him to conform to the rulos. " Now," aald he, "William, will you promisoto make a bow to me tomorrow morning?'' " No, I'll bo durned if I do," said Jenk ina." That aottlod it. Tho crisis that father had dreaded had come, Ho got between Jenkins and the door and said firmly : " Woll, air, you have got to do one of three things. You have got to how, or quit school, or take, a whipping. Which will you dor" "I'll bo gol durned if I'll do airy one," aald Bill. Father's hickory waa within his reach between two logs. He seized it and began on Jenkins with stinging strokes and Jenkins made for him with his long arms, and used cusa words abundant. They fought like wildcats, turned over benches, broke the wuter hucket und for ten minutes the eontlict raged, for father was < tout and waa in the right and kopt the hickory going and funded olT tho strokes of Hill's long arms. After a while they cliuched and father got him down between two puncheon seats and pummelled him good. Ho hollered enough and to let him up, and aftor they got their breath father said: " Now, Jenkins, what will you do." Ho blubbered out : " I'm gwlno homo and stay there. " I'll bu gol durned If I'm wine, to Bchool to you any more." " Well, why didn't you aay that at first and save the whipping ?" aald father. All this time there were a hundred eyej-peeping, through tho cracks bo Vween tho logs, but not a word was aald. Jenkins never camo buck and the crisis was ovor. From that time on for two yoara there was u good, orderly school and mv father's reputa tlon waa made. Tho Yankee had whip ped Hill Jonkina and that sottled him in tho favor of tho pi irons. I wish everybody could visit tho littlo village of Longpond. It la In tho coun try, eight mllea from Mt. Vernon, and eight miles from a railroad. 1 never waa in a better settlement of farming people. I spoko there in tho day timo and those country people came from far and near and spread before us the linest pic nie dinner I ever saw. It is a Scotch settlement, and their fathers and grandfathers all came from Kobin BOn County, in North Carolina. At least three-fourths of tho names begin with tho prolix of Me. I mado a mem orandum of tho many Mca 1 was intro duced to?all dilfcrent?such as MoAr thur, McKao, McAllstor, McLung, Mc Nalr, McLaurin, McLemoro, McGuffie, McUuflie, McConnel, McDonald, Mc Daniel and bo forth. There woro thirty seven of them and many of thosu had Hons and brothors and kindred of tho same name, and so it was Mc someth ing very where. If a man's namo be gins ?with Mc in that region It is a guarantee of good stock. It la line farming region and these pooplo are almost all farmors. 1 nevor aaw a liner corn and cotton in upper Georgia. Tho women, matrona and maidens were all well and neatly dressed and were good looking, good sizo and healthy. They could handlo P>elr aklrts as gracefully as a city lady ,nd aa my old friend Hill Ltatnsey used to say. " Major, these wo men aro weil coupled and stand up square on their pastor joints." Kalney had doalt In horses for fifty years and talked horse-talk about women and everything else. Ho was a genuine David Harem. 1 have moat pleasing recollections of Longpond and its poo plo. My next call .,Tod to Hagan-Claxton, a double Uiwd only throe miles apurt, . but whoso pooplo work In harmony and r- Tiave a very fino high school an! school building called tho Hagan-Claxton in stitute, that Is just midway between thorn and is sustained by both. Tho teachers convention was In session there?about a hundred toachors from Tattnall and other counties?and I say truthfully I never looked upon a more thoughful, intelligent and earnest body of teachers, both mon and women. By request I mado sumo fatherly remarks to them and then had to stand up and receive a hearty handshake from every ono. That night I gavo my lecturo Dehlnd tho Scenea," In tho boautlful large hall where 460 good people from the twin towns and adjacent country had gathered. How easy it is for a leoturer or preacher to please and magnetize a large audience when thoy aro packed closo together. The stand ard of teaching Is rising highor In this region. Tho county school commission ers aro good scholars, graduatoa of our colleges, and thoy aro exacting in tholr examinations. Nlnotoon applicants woro rejected recently In ono county. Thla Is an Interesting region and farm ing la easy and prosperous. Tho long staple cotton Is grown here. I did not know until now that tho bloom was flrst yollow?a bright canary?and then turned rod. Tho soed aro black and are rolled out instead of being ginned out. It is hardor to pick this cotton from the bolls and seventy-live pounds la a good day'a work. It Is now 20 cents a pound. Sugar cane abounds here and Is tho most luxuriant crop I f know of. Hut it is the turpontlno and lumber business that scatters money so freely in all this region. I visited tho Perkins mills. They aro up to date \ in fell respects and out and kiln, dry and draas 75,000 feet In a day, and glvo employment to several bucdred handa.

Whilu tbia schemu is obviously chimerical, there is aomothing in the conditions of Mr. Wu'- appointment and his record hero to maku him a man whoao career may well bo watcbod. lie r? pit sects not, the China of tradi tion, but tho aggressive commercial elements, English and American, which are gaining a foothold there. His appointment was a recognition ol those interests He ia ono of tho most cosmopolitan of men. Ho waa the lirat Chiueao to take a full legal course in England and be admitted as a barribtur there. He could put out hla shingle in London tomorrow and practice law with sueuees. His command of the English languugu is excellent and ho is almoat as familiar with western in stitution.- as any native of thu uuw world. It is said that Wu owes his ap pointment and promotion, while stand ing for thu progressive element in Chineao all'aira, to tbe favor of Li Huug Chang, who.early diacoverud Wu's ab li i ties and decldud to bring him to tho front. Wu la a genuine Chinese and not a Manchu, whlcn makes hla riao In politics all the more notable. Ho haa no long Uno of mandarin ancestora, but whut was hotter, a Chinese family of aufholent means and intelligence to send him to I'lurope, for an education. How successful Minister Wu would bo aa tho truatoo of wc stern civiliza tion in the managomentof China could not bo foretold. It is feared that his western education and associations would iniike him porsona non grata to the stolid Chinese element, but that this element will have much to bay in the reorganization of Chinese affairs may bo an opon question. Tho next diltlculty to como would be the rivalry between tho Slav and iho Saxon. It la unlikely that Russia would look with favor upon any man wnom tho two great English-speaking peoples ex pressed u willingness to support in this capacity. Kor Minister Wu everybody In Washington has the kindliost of feoiings. Ho is gonial and approach able at all timos and talks freely and intelligently upon the great public questions. At tho same time ho ap pears tolovo his land, and to be keenly alivo to its groateat needs. NOKTIl CAROLINA MAFIC. HulVraKO Amendment Carried and Ayeock Elected Uovornor. ouarlotte, N.

The Legislature Is Democratic in both branches Mecklenburg County, of which Charlotto is tbo county seat, glvos :i,f)00 majority for the county ticket.

Girls In China aro accountod as "household shadows and household sorrows." Formerly they wuredrown ud like blind klttona at birth, but che. missionaries are responsible for thu doubtful good uf proaurviug thuir Uvea in latur yeara. Thu Christianized Chi naman does uut object to a daughter, although his accuptancu of tho disap pointment is In tho nature uf a punance. Tho first high caato Chinese child born in Washington was that of tho Chineao minister who was stationed there dur ing I 'resilient (1 ar Held'.-' ad m i n Istra tio.i. The Chineao like women doc tors, and tho utlicial ungaged tho ser vices uf Dr. Susan 1? Fdsun, who intro duced to America tho liret high caste Chinese baby within its limits. The anxious minister, dressed in his best rubes uf ulllco, awaited nows of thu I event in hia private suite in thu lega tion palace, and as Dr. Fdson approauh ud met hur half way. llu scanned he face a moment anxiously, then held this laconic dialogue with himself: "Hoy? No. Girl? Yes." NaMvo Chinamen look down on their wives and In ovory way they can shuw their eon tempt fur them, believing that a man should do this in order tu main tain his ow n supremacy . Some uf their popular sayings convey this idua : "A man should listen to his wlfu, but ho must not believo her.'1 "A woman's mind ia quicksilver; her heart la wax." "Men, when thoy meet, listen to each other. Girls, when thoy come toguthur, look at oauh other." "Women luuk down tu bu looked at." Tho lovemaking In China la of the most intricate and matter-of-fact kind. The contracting parties arc betrothed in childhood, often In their infancy, and sometimes bufuru either was horn. A rich merchant saya to his friend when both aro married : "You havo a daughter, I havu a aon? we will then marry thum, or if I havu thu misfortune to havu a daughter shu shall marry your son. Is that a con tract ?" Tho betrothal of two imaginary children follows with great ceremony, and as tho prediction is usually veri fied tho children are brought up for each other, and their sucoud betrothal is made another occasion uf groat feasting, and an astrulugur Is consulted to read the horoscope of thu pair and set tho marriage day. One of the strictly forbidden rites is marriage to a foreigner. The dying request uf a Chineao wife tu her lord often takes thla form : "When 1 am hurled you must come often tu my grave tu burn incense, and you must not harm any white butterfly or lizard, for I may profor to come back to you in those shapes when I am tirod of lying In my grave." It would seem as if all tho auporatl tiona of the rest of tho world had boeu banished to China, whoso kingdom thoy hold (or their own. A Chinaman is afraid to look over his shoulder, for he knows ho will see a ghost?that he never did see ono has no weight with hlra, and ho foels that all Is right at homo, but If his neighbor sneezos and ho does not ho believes himself neglected and becomes morbidly jealous. CJuito like other women, tho Chinese wifu has hor littlu plans and schemes and ad vises her husband to wear a wet hand kerchief in his hat to Keep his shaven poll from sunstroke. When the towel cools ho naturally sneezos, and whon he goes homo commends his wife for thinking of him during his absence. There is little daubt that rather than soo tbelr women fall Into tho civilizing power of foreign "nations the Chinese would not hesitate to slay thorn with the sword. And in view of a future similar to tho past uf Chinoso women such a fate need not bo deplored ; it would be ono of the tragodios whero "Slaughter Is God's daughtor." our Morning Cm? op Tka.?Most people bavo probably overlookod the danger which throatons tholr morning cup of tea from the present Chinese troubles say tho Atlanta Constitution. An intimation from the Chicago cub tom houso points to a crisis in tea drinking. The anticipation of a rise in the price of tea as a result of the war has caused an onormous with drawal of this commodity. So groat have beon the withdrawals that the collections of duties for tho past ten days havo reached a figure almost un precedented. On Monday tho customs collections wore $44,000. Kvery day of the prosont month has shown largor collections than tho corresponding pe riod a year ago. Tho collections have beon coming In at tho rate of over $200,000 per week and tho officers of the service feol sure that the high water mark of $8,000,000 for tho last ?Bcal year will be oxcoedod. Although most of tho teas used In this part of the coun try come from Japan, the quantity re ceived from China in considerable. The war Is likely to affect tho Japanese shipments as well as those from China. because or the chartering of all vessels for transporting troops. Taking all those conditions into consideration tho dealers In teas fool certain that a sharp i Inc. in priced will soon come, and they aro getting their stocks In hand In or der to be prepared for the rise and its accompanying Increased profits. It must be evident that thrifty per sons should lay In a stock of their fav orite brands before tho prices are marked up by tho alort morohants. ?London used to be the asylum for foreign anarohlsts and assassins.

There was prohahly no European more qualitlod to express au opinion ol the Chinese that) Col. Cordon more commonly called Chinese Cordon, whoao strange career closed at Khar toum in January, 1885. His military abBOclatiou with thorn during tho two yoars, from 18<i.'i to 1805, when ho com manded the Kvor Victorioua Army, as It waa styled, gave him a uulquo ex perience of tho Chluoso and an In bight into their somewhat complex character. With tho crudest of material and in spite of tho strougostoppoaltiou, an op pualtlou that would have huon fatal hat for tho royal aupport ho received throughout hla ahort term of aorvico under tho Kuiporor of China from Id Hung Chang, ho organized a force that under Kuropoan othcora of nearly ovory nationality, including aomo Americana, aupproaaod tho Taoplng rohellion then threatening tho exlatooeo of China and the dynasty. Tho oplnlous ho oxpreas ed, therefore, have at tho present mo .ut exceptional valuo. One which he gave confidentially to a frlond In 1880 when ho waa juat on tho point of leaving for India, whore ho had accepted tho post of aocrotary to tho viceroy, Lord Klpon, la juat now of particular iutureat. Speaking of tho Taoping roholllou and of tho courago I of tho Chluuao troopa, ho denied that thoy were cowards in one sonso. Uo held that thoy did not fear death, though ho had aeon them stand up hravoly sometimes and thon lloo like aheop afterward. Hut what Kuropoans would have to cousidor was, ho said, tho awful consequences of a general movement, when least oxpectod, in tho vast Inert mass of hundred of millions of men to overwhelm tho forelyu dovlls whom thoy hate like polBon. Tho danger of such un outburst, Cor don said, became greater ovory year on account of tho way tho Chlnoso wore bolng continually harassed by the Kuropoan states with demands for I compensations, in somo cases just, In others qulto frivolous. When thoy saw that their only means of meeting the aggressions was to organizo an army with Improved weapons, then thoy would boy guns and nllja and ship ami, with tho aid of Kuropoans, whu would always be found ready to drill and organize thorn, they woutd create a formidable army. Of ono thing Gordon felt quite sure. Tho days when Kuropoans could march up to Chinese troopa in position, or in dofonco of a position, and aweep thorn away llko llioa, would soon bj over. There would be no more military promenades by a fow hundred Hrltlsh and French troops through tho coun try, driving thousands of Chineso bo foro thorn. Spoaking of tho authorities, Gordon said a mandarin was never to bo trust cd, and ho was only too clad win n he loft their sorvlce. Tho English, in hla opinion, made tho mistake of thinking thoy wore welcome wherever thoy went, but In fifteen or twonty years thoy would lind proof to tho contrary. With all their superstitions, their vices and tholr ignorance, tin Chinese wore, in Cordon's estimation far too good to he ruled by tho claaa that governed thorn. The governments of Franco, KuSbla and England, ho emphatically declarod, had for tho forty years be fore tho time ho apoko treated the Chinoao moat scandalously. Current ovonta aro proving how ac curatoly Chinoao Gordon judged tho situation, and tho rogrot la that cur tain dofecta of h'a character and tom pormont ahould have caused him to abandon a position in which ho could have rondored great aervlco to China and civilization. In the light of what is passing in China today, Gordon'a words of twonty years ago have a prophetic ring. ? When Admiral Dewoy waa ordered to the Oriental tquudron, ho waa indig nant and wrathful. It looked to him liko banishment from active service. Yot that which he doomed bis virtual obscurity proved his groatcat glory and Opportunity.

" There is something uhout the air of this Country Which inclines our women to act Independently, a <irl may try to wrap up her womanly instincts beneath a cloak of fashionable vanity, but the little love gods find out the weak spots in her armor and pelt her unmercifully, if she is a true American the chances nie after nil that nine times in ten she will marry the man she cares for. The vast majority of our youiiK women seek no greater blessing than to be well-loved wives of strontf beatted men ; and mothers of healthy, happy children. The natural burdens of wifehood and motherhood have been amazingly lightened in the last thirty years. Advanced science has found a way to overcome the physical weakness of women and make them strong and capable of performing their wifely and motherly duties. thk modern WOMAN'S opportunity. At the present day there is no need for any woman ill this country to be weighed down and overburdened' with physical weakness or disease, A woman suffering from any delicate ailment peculiar to her sex, no matter what the circumstances may be, may obtain such eminent professional advice and assistance as a queen could hardly command a generation ago. She can have all the advantages of that splendid American Institution, the World's Dispen sary Medical Association of Buffalo, N. Y., witii its staff of nearly twenty eminent specialists in the different branches of Uledical practice. At their head as chief consulting physician is Dr. K. V. Pierce, one of the most widely experienced phy sicians living. Any woman consulting him by mail and giving a careful statement of her case will receive sound professional Hdviee and suggestion for home -treatment free of charge. It is impossible to estimate the immense amount of suffering that weak and ailing women have been saved by Dr. Pierce's Suggestions for home-treatment and the use of bis matchless prescriptions, His "Favorite Prescription " has done more to promote the health and strength of women of out land than all other remedies com bined. It is recognized throughout the world as the one greatest supportive tonic find special Btreilgilieiter that has ever been devised for women.

The administration scorns to be alarmed at the extent to which it hus carried ItselTorts to delay the full rev olution of the rascality of its trusted agents, Uathbono and Nooly, In Cuba. It is now making a great pretense of intention to go promptly to the bottom uf the Cuban postal frauds and tbo public is ussured that Uathbono as woll as Noeiy will be tried soon. This is a case, however, whore seeing is be lieving. Wo doubt the sincerity of the profession that the fuli facts of the Cuban postal i0 jbories will bo brought out soon. The henchmen of the administra tion have all along treated Uathbono and Nooly as trivial incidents and havo attempted to brush asido the idea that the administration could bo held in any sense responsible for thorn. They now realize, that tho question of the responsibility of tho administration for these culprits cannot be so easily disposed of. Doth Uathbono and Neely wore ap pointed to tho practical control of postal alfalrs In Cuba not because of any titness for that service but as a re ward for their campaign work for tho Uepublican party. Ono of Nooly's strongest indorsors urged his appoint ment became ho was " up against it financially." On this ground his ap pointment to handlo tho funds of tho Cuban pOBtpotllco department was urged. Uathbono was rewarded for his ac tive efforts as a U '.publican striker. Tho report of Mr. Brlstow, who has looked into tbo otlicial record of these two men, shows that Nuely stole some thing like $100,000 and that Uathbono is likewho a defaulter. It was clearly Impossible for Nooly to carry on his systematic, robbery of tho govornmont without Uathbono's knowledge It appears that Utthhonoand Nooly were confederates in a big schemo to plun der tho Cuban postolIice|department, but It remains to he soon what will be dono with them and how soon they will be trlod. The- prosecution of thrso two Itv Imbllcan otlicialB who wore sent to Juba to teach the benightod people of that Island tho science of honest anil capable government will probably bring out further information as to tho way In which our government of (Juba hat been conducted, and it is embar rassing to have such Inqulrlos mado during a campaign In which tho ad ministration is already buing tried on a numbor of counts.

During tho week ending 8 ft. in., July 30th tiio temperature averaged nearly normal. The lirst partol Die week waa hotter than usual, tho latter purl slightly cooler, with a weekly range hutweon a umxliuuin of 101 at llates hurg, and a minimum of US at Croon vlllo. Kaiu fell aomowhero in the State ou overy day of the week, and few locali ties out had beuelicial amounts. The State average was 1 .">() Inohes, and tho local amounts ranged from merely sprinkles to between four and live inches, the. latter in portions of Wor ahaw and Oraugeburg counties. Tho severe drought has not been thorough ly relieved in the southeastern coun ties and over small areas elsewhere. Dumaging iiail term uecurred in Marion and Cherokee counties ; high winds blew dowu corn and fruit trees In a number of counties. Karin work made favorable grogrosa, aud crops are nearly all laid by in fair ly good condition, with the crop pros pects brighter and more encouraging than during the past two moutha. Old corn was too nearly matured to bo much benefited by tho week's rains, excepts In snots, and will not make a full crop. Young corn is quite promis ing. Over a large portion of tho State, with numerous exceptions, however, in the eastern countiea, cotton improved materially and now looks promising, but comparatively fow sections report the crop heavily fruited. Most of tho reports indicate that the plants are un dersized and late, but fruiting normally and some that they are not fruiting as they should at this season. There are a few complaints of rust and premature opening, more of sheddlug, and some of grassy fields, although cotton Is gener ally laid by clean. In tho westorn coun ties cultivation continues. In places cotton ia blooming to the top. Sea island cotton is still Buffering from blight and ruat. Tobacco ia ripening nlcoly, with cutting and curing making favorable progress, and nearing completion in sc-ctiona. Tho yield aud prices are in tho main satisfactory. Rice is doiug nicely, und so far ia a lino crop in the principal rice growing regions, but upland rice is poor. Haying continues in tue Charleston district, where a heavy first cutting baa been housed In excellentcmdition, but later cutting promises poorly. Pas tures are lino in the central and west ern counties. Peaches are, dropping, many aro wormy, and some rot as they ripen. Crap'js aro healthy and plenti ful in Dickons and Ojonee counties : elaowhero thero is much rotting. Cane, sweot potatoes, and gardens failed, but will be revived by the rains. In gen eral, minor crops aro promising. F A M11 < IA K WHHN TRANSIjATKD. Nearly nil Chinese Names Have a Material Meaning Leslie's Weekly.

This is the lesson that has been taught by the intelligent ex periment of Mr. I?. I). Springs, in Tort Mill township. A few months ago Mr. Springs had nearly 200 sheep. Now he has less than a hundred. It is all on account of the dogs. They came fron) tho country around for a distance of 10 or 12 miles, sometimes killing as many as a half dOKOU sheep in a day and carrying oil* lambs until it was impossible to keep track of the number that has been lost. The convict guards on the place have killed 17 dogs with their lilies during the pasl few months; hut this slaughter sccins to have been in vain. The supply of dogs has as yet shown no signs of diminution, and notwith standing the utmost vigilance of the guards, there are still dogs which can kill sheep. Mr. Springs has about decided to give it. up. His lloek of sheep is for sale. He will continue to raise a few breeders; but so far as keeping up the light with all the dugs of the country is concerned, lie heg? to be excused. 1 o;7./?.'ic/"?n r For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Curtniii physiologists arc being at tracted by the idea thai growth de pends largely upon diet and exercise. A French writer, M. A. Pores, calls attention to the experiments of Dr. Springer, who with a simple decoction of cereals, has so influenced the rate of growth of animals and children that be can make giants of them when their organization is favorable. His recorded thnl the. celebrated llishop liorkclcy, probably through suitable food, deliberately caused an orphan boy to grow to a height of eight feet two inches at sixteen. Moist foods and such drinks as tea and milk tend to increase of stature, while dry ami spiceil foods, and especially alcohol, lend to retard growth. This explains why the people of Northern Europe are so much taller than those of the south. Too great size, however, does not appear to bC desirable, as Ibis is likely to bring diminished activity, in creased liability to disease, and earlv death.
