An American of China Lec?
tures.
Rev Isaac T Heedland ts a profes?
sor of mental philosophy in the
Peking university. He is an Amer
ican, and a Methodist. He lectured
the other night in New York and
praised the Chinese. It was inter?
esting. He said the Boxers went
back TOO years. Of the much talked
of Empresa Dowager, he said that
"she is one of the strongest char?
acters that ever occupied the Chinese
throne, and she ?3 the strongest
sovereign on any throne today. Her
hands are tied, however, becacse
after she dethroned the emperor it
became necessary for ber to play off
one leader against another in order
to sieze the throne. Theo, as she
has antagonized the liberal party, she
has had to depend ou advisers who
are aged conservatives, and who
have not studied foreign affairs in
forty years, the period during which
China has been making progress
She knows nothing of the progress
that really has been made.7' He
says there is much prejudice against
her He oays the better class of
Chinese do not come to this country
He has known many instances of se
vere personal sacrifice made by
Chinese converts to the Christain reli
gion. He says that "there are DO
more reliable men in the world than
converted Chinamen. And I believe
there is no better brain material in ?
the world than the Chinese . brain j
under a proper system of education."
He say3 the Boxers have a strong i
backing According to him the
report is trae that the Empress
Dowager has favored them. He 1
says toat "the present condition has j
long ceased to be simply a difficulty
between the Boxers and the Chr?3- I
tains t>r the Boxers and the for
eignere The Boxers have had
encouragement from the Empress
Dowager in her edicts and from ex
Goverccr Yu Hsien, whom she has
continued so long that it is under?
stood throughout the entire army that
the government and ali the officials
now in power are in sympathy with
the movement. "

THE GAME COCK CITY.
Editor's Pleasant Impressions
of Sumter.
A MANUFACTURING TOWN.
The visit of the editor of the Times
to Sumter oo Tuesday was the first
opportuaity that he Dad enjoyed of
j leasing over that city for a Dumber of
years. The last view was very gratify?
ing, lt is a credit to the state to have
j such towos as Sumter. It is a pretty
town, well laid cff, with shady streets,
handsome residences, betokening weath
comfort aod refinement. The business
houses are welt built attractive, showy.
Tbs maia street is macadamized and is
a handsome thoroughfare. The stores
kscp well selected stocks of goods well
displayed and give evidence of iarge
trade of a high class.
There are few towns of the siza of
Sumter or very muoh larger that can
boast the number of diversified indus?
tries that Sumter can.
There is a large cotton mill m opera?
tion and another about to start up, two
telephone factories, a cof?n factory,
j three ice factories, a golf stick factory,
big cottee seed oil mili, a brick yard a
number of large wood workiog mills |
and a number of machine shops and
fouodaries. All of these enterprises j
sell goods manufactured from the pro?
duce of the country, in the markets of
the world and draw the wealth of all sec?
tions to Sumter, giving employment to
hundreds of hands and distributing a
great deal of money in the city.
Sumter has the Atlantic Coast Line,
the Southern and the Wilson system of
railroads, which gives her unusual rail?
road facilities for the di?tribution of
goods and the accommodation of the
trade of the surrounding country.
Samter's business men are alive
to their own interests and they know
tbat the dollars that are put io the
J building up of industrial life of the
I town are the dollars that are coming
back to them with the most satisfactory
ratio of i ocre ase
A magnificent system of waterworks
is io operation in the town, which
affords ample fire protection. No
engines are used at the fire, the water
being thrown from the hydrants over
the top of any building in the town,
and on one occasion there was a very
dangerous looking fire which was
fought by S3vea streams from as many
hydrants.
Sumter boasts a fine Opera House
which cost theoity nearly forty thousand
dollars, bat which woaid be an orna
meat to any city in the State. Sumter
ts growing fast. Her postal receipts,
which ?3 the theimome?er of trade,
speak ia no uncertain voice of the I
nrogrcss of the tcwo. This effiee has
just been raised to the sejc-od class,
which distinction is enjoyed by bat few
offices in the State. The good people
of Sumter will socn have their mail
delivered at their doors, which always
follow* when aa office is raised to the
second class.
Sumter has four good newspapers.
The Daily Item, which has been doing
a good work for the town for six years,
edited by H. O Ostceo ; The Herald,
a first elass weekly edited by J. M
Knight, The Watchman acd Southron,
the old reliable, edited by N. G. Orteeb
and the sprightly Freeman edited by
W. C Ivy.
What Sumter is she has been made
by the enterprise of her basiness meo,
who were cot content to rest satisfied
with the narrow sphere io which they
were moving, and they began that
policy of commercial acd industrial
expansion that has put that city in the
front raoks of the towos of the State
There is much in Sumter that the
editor of The Times would be glad to
see duplicated in Florence, and we say
that without treason to Florence, fer we
thitik tba: there arc many things in
Fioreooe that Sumter might with ad?
vantage adopt, and thus, by borrowing
ideas and p?aos from each other, these
towns of the Northeast Carolina will
become the greatest towns on earth, for
they are made up of the greatest people
on earth. Hartwell M Ayer
