Some CbKese Impressions.
' There is no. such thing In China as a
govern inet/t, as we understand it.
There is.' the outward form, but it is
entity devoid of substance. There
r are officials, but they lack power, and
even the imperious will of the Empre^c
Dowager cannot be impressed on
the people at large. The present disturbance,
if it is at least a popular
uprising, indicates the helplessness of

In this workaday world few women
are so placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded of them

whom suffer, and suffer for lack of
intelligent aid.

CHARLESTON'S DAY.
The flanagement cf The Exposition
Working For It.
Those in charge of the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian Exposition
to be held in Charleston next
year are working on all lines to make
the exposition a success. They are
wida-awake and up-to-date. Having
had Thursday set apart at the State
fair as "Exposition Day." and arranged
for addresses to be delivered by tha
Lruvemur, rrcsiucui ui u?v ??wriv?
fair society and others, the exercises
to occur immediately following tho
military parade, and for booths on the
streets where exposition literature wi'l
be distributed, the management is now
endeavoring tc bring a large crowd of
Charlestoniar.s to the fair. Handsome
invitations reading as follows, are also
being sent to prominent people in all
parts of the State:
"The honor of your presence is requested
at the State Fair of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society on
"Exposition Day," November 1, 1900, :n
Columbia, South Carolina, and to be
present at the exercises In the interset
of the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition to be held at
the fair grounds on that day."
The management recently asked the
Governor to endeavor to enlist the aid
of the Governors of other States in
making the exposition a success. Gov.
KcSweeney has accordingly written .ha
Governors of all the other States as
follows:
Your Excellency: The South Carolina

the State of South Carolina for the pur- j
pose of holding an exposition in the
city of Charleston next year. The spe- j
cial object of this exposition is to make 1
a complete display of the arts, industries,
manufactures and agricultural
products of the States of the American '
union, and also to exhibit in the most
attractive way the industries and re- j
sources of Cuba, Porto Rico, Mexico,
the Central and South American re- j
publics and the Philippines. There are
great opportunities in th<?se countries
for the meployment of American capi- j
tal and enterprise.
The capital stock of the exposition
company is $250,000, and its estimated
resources exceed $1,000,000. The undertaking
has received the hearty approval
of the authorities at Washington :
and a bill making a appropriation o!
$250,0^0 for the purpose of a govern- j
ment exhibit at the exposition is nov/
on its passage through Congress, with
a favorable report from the committee
nn ?>T\r>rnr\riaHr?nc nf thp TTnilPfl StatM
Senate.
The exposition will open December
1, 1901, and close May 21, 1902. The
most gratifying assurances have been
received from the representatives of
foreign governments In this country of
their wish and disposition to parti :lpate
in the exposition, which will present
a splendid opportunity for the development
of the commercial and Industrial
possibilities of our country. It |
Is the wish of the exposition company
to have the several tSates of the union
erect State buildings on the exposition |
grounds or make special exhibits of
their products and resource? in the ,
general buildings of the exposition ,
company.
The exposition grounds are situated ,
within the city of Charleston and con- !
tain 160 acres, admirably adapted for j
the purpose, and within convenient and ;
easy reach both by land and water of |
the great ralroad and steamboat liner. |
I write now to ask your hearty co-op- j
eration with us in the work of making I
this exposition of permanent value to
the commercial and industrial welfare
of our country and beg that you will
present the undertaking to the general
assembly of your State with such '
recommendations as will result in )
full exhibit of the resources of your
State at Charleston.
I have the honor to be. with great
respect, yours very sincerely.

Telegrapphlc Briefs.
A Bellamy colcny has been founded
in Merrimac, New Hampshire, by:
George H. Wetster, a merchant of
Keene, who has purchased 200 acres
of land for $5,000. All who wish to
Join the colony must deposit $300. Mr.
Webster says that this winter work
will be begun building factories and
housesfor the colonists and clearing
the land for farming.
Commissioner Wilson, of the Internnal
Revenue Bureau, has decided that
proprietors of opera houses in cities
having a population by the census of
1890 of 25,000 or less, shall not be called
on to pay special tax for the current
year because of newspaper announcements
that the recent census shows a
population of more than 25,000
STATE'S TAXABLE PROPERTY.
Handsone Increase Over Last Year'u
Figures.
Charleston is the richest county in
the State; Spartanburg Is next and
Richland is next. Aiken, Anderson
and Greenville follow in the order named.
By "rich" is meant that the counties
named have a higher assessed valuation
for taxation, or pay taxes on
more property than the other counties.
The total amount of taxable property
in the State is $183,030,613, on inchrease
of $6,593,335 oover 1899. The
amount nt railroad nroDertv is $27,771,
973; real estate, $102,137,777; personal
property, $53,120,863. From the3e figures
it will be seen that there is nearly
twict a? much personal property as
there is railroad property, and nearly
twice aj much real estate as there is
personal property.
There is a large amount of railroad
property in Darlington, according to
the returns, than any other county.
In fact the amount of railroad property
in that county exceeds the amount
of railroad property. Spartanburg and
Cherokee have more perconal property
than reel estate. Georgetown, Saluda,
and Horry are short on railroad property
and Saluda has the smallest
amount of personal property, with
Pickens next.
The following figures give the valuations
in each county:
