More Cordial Relations Between China and United States Sought. Washington, March 19.? A number of representatives of the American Asiatic Association and the National Association of Manufacturers appeared Friday before a sub-committee of the bouse of foreign affairs committee, urging the passage of the Foster hill to amend the Chinese exclusion act so that high class Chinese may be admitted into this country without obstruction. Capt. Ellison A. Smythe, of Pelzer, Messrs. W. E. Beattie, of Piedmont, John W. Baker, of Batesvilie, J. A. Brock, of Anderson and V. M. Mont gomery, of Spartanburg, were present, as were also Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, and a number of other cot ton mill men of North Carolina. Sev eral clergymen, among them Bishop McVickan, of Rhode Island, and Bishops Moore and Cranston of the Methodist church, appeared also. All of these were interested in so regulating the relations between Amer ica and China with respect to the ad mission of Chinese into this country as to establish more cordial relations be tween ihe two countries. The manu facturers want to prevent the hostility of the Chinese so that they may have a market for their manufactured goods and the Bishops want more amicable relations so as to secure protection for the Missionaries. They are opposed to the admission of coolie laborers, who would compete with American unskilled workmen, or rather they are not mak ing any fight upon the exclusion of coolies, believing that the Chinese peo ple would not resent that, but they do not want educated and well-to-do Chi namen to be discriminated against, thus arousing hostility in China to America's goods and American religion. Mr. Tompkins was one of those who made a speech before the committee, occupying about an hour. Capt. Smy the was also asked a number of questions as to the marketing of goods in China and other phases of the subject. Con siderable interest was manifested in the hearing, the committee room being crowded. Zach McGhoc. As to Special Terms. Columbia, March 19.? If he finds out from the assistant attorney general that the law allows him such a discre tion Governor Heyward will not order any special terms of court for this year, and if he decides that the statute makes ordering them obligatory he will refuse to pay the judges as the leg islature cut off this appropriation. He will simply report the bill to the legis lature. He will not pay from the con tingent fund. Reception at Red Springs. A very interesting communication whs recently printed in tho Columbia State, giving an account of tho wel come extended to the Rev. I. K. Me David, the new pastor of the Baptist (.'lunch at Red Springs, N. C. Mr. Mc David is a native of Greenville County, S. C, and was graduated in literature and the classics at Furnian University, and in divinity at tho Southern Baptist Theological Seminai'y. The reception held in his honor was at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Livorniore. Several hours were devoted during the afternoon to a genoral reception ot the people of tho town, and at night the young people made merry among them selves. From the account in Tho State the following is taken: "Receiving in the hall were: Misses Annie Helle DeVano ane Ida Townsend, while Mrs. Livormoro, Mrs. R. F, De Vane and Dr. and Mrs. J. L. McMillan introduced the guests to Mr. McDavid in the front parlor. Miss Fannie De Vane presided over the punch bowl and most gracefully dispensed the delicious nectar to the appreciative visitors. During the evening light refreshments were served in the dining room.'1 "It would be hard, indeed," we are told, "to And a town that, in propor tion to its size, has more culture and refinement than Red Springs. Settled by the Scotch, the town keeps up to a high level the line characteristics and noble qualities of this sturdy race." We have no doubt that Mr. McDavid will be greatly liked by the people of his new home, and that he will lill his pastorate to Uio entire satisfaction, not only of his own congregation, but of all the religious people in the commu nity.?News and Courier.
