LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Dlue books have
been issued containing all the official
dispatches relative to Armenia between
July "a, 1894. and October IL. 1895.
and the reports Of the consular dele
gates attached to the Sassoun Commis-
sion The report gives the history OF
the Armenian agitation for several
years and records the obstacles thrown
in the way of the commission by the
Turkish delegates. 1t also acquits the
Armenians of the charge brought
against them OF burning their own
property to incite an outbreak among
their people, adding that the facts elic-
tied fail to prove that the ArmenianS
were in revolt, but show that the agi-
tator Murad instigated several Armen-
ian outrages on kurds. The latter
then retaliated and the Armenians He'd
to their villages.
The conflicts between the Arnenlans
and kurds followed and the govern
ment did nothing to arrive at a peace.
full settlement or to protect women and
children.
The report hows that the number of
'lilled has been grossly exaggerated,
but the report admits that owing 10
the absence of registration 1t is impos-
sible even approximately to fix the
number of victims.
Mr.. Shipley, the British delegate, de.
clares that the Armenians were hunted
like beasts and if slaughter was not
greater it was owing to the vastness
Of the mountain ranges, which facill-
tated the escape OF the Armenians. He
was convinced that the Turks aimed at
the complete extermination of the AR,
menians in the Talori district.
The editorials in the morning papers
upon the Armenian blue book mostly
comment on the fact that they only
picture the overture to a long tale OF
massacre and that the careful report
of the delegates has justified every de-
nunciation yet published OF the Sui
tan.

Chicago and the South.

Hon. Patrick, Walsh editor Of the
Augusta Chronicle, has written very
interesting letter to Mr.. T. B. Thack-
ston, editor of Products Of the Pied
mont, at Spartanburg, S. c., in which
he sets forth the advantage to acrue
to the South from the proposed Cotton
Exposition to be held at Chicago. Mr..
Walsh says he has the most unbound
ed faith in the practical results OF the
exposition, and believes that every
community and every interest IN the
South will promote its interests. II
am sure" says be, that if the South
embraces the opportunity Chicago can
be relied upon to do its full duty IN
making the enterprise a grand sue
cess-the South has everything to
make and nothing to loose by the eS-
position. The Chicago Cotton Expo
sition is strictly a business movement.
Its purposes is to carry to the people
of the West and Northwest the most
striking object-lesson OF what the
South has accomplished already in one
great industry, and to show a practl-
cally illimitable field for profitable in
vestment in this same direction, and
to invite Chicago and Western capita!
in the ablishment of bleacherles and
print works for finishing the products
of Southern mills, and for the estab-
lishment of machine shops for the
manufacture of textile machinery.
The Chicago Exposition" according
to MIR. Walsh's idea, need not be
confined to cotton and the products
thereof, but it should embrace in its
scope all of the natural products Of
the South. 1t should contain, in ad-
dition to Gotten, all of the resources of
our mines and forests, and show con-
spicuously the rich and varied pro
ducts of diversified agriculture and
horticulture. The Norfolk Virgin
ian says Mr.. Walsh is firm in the
opinion that the exposition, if prop
erly conducted will prove Of incalcu-
liable benefit to the people of the
Southern States, and sees in it an op-
portunity that should be availed of to
the fullest extent, and every interest
in the South should promote its success
in every possible way. He says Chi
cago sees in it an opportunity to adj
vance its commercial interest and the
South should see in it an opportunity
to build up its agricultural and manu-
featuring industries.

A Hustlipr Concern.

One of the most enterprising and
hustling firms in Columbia is that Of
Richard & Mixson, dealers in bicycles
and general repairers and plumbers.
They are now building an addition to
their store, being too crowded in the
QUE they occupy, which they will use
as an enameling and plumbing shop.
They now manufacture bicycle
which they call the Palmetto" 1t
sells for ss5, and they claim that it is
as good as any wheel manufactured at
no matter what price. They thorough
ly guarantee it to be free from lmrer-
fections in material and workmanship
and will make good any defective
parts within cne year after date OF
sale.
With Is years experience as me-
chanic-and the greater part OF that
time devoted to bicycles-Mr. Richard
certainly ought to know how to build
a wheel that will meet all the require
ments of the roads in the South. Mr..
Richard built and owned one Of the
hrst bicycles used in Columbia. It
was one of the old style high wheels"
and was built 12 years ago, when bl-
cycles were just becoming known ID
this part of the country.
Mr.. Nixon is a rider Of considerable
note, having won many races in the
past three years, and his friends claim
that he is the fastest in the South, al
though the southern championship IS
rightfully held by Geo. n. Adams OF
Jacksonville, Fla
Being prepared to build bicycles,
Richard & Mixson are Of course fully
equipped for repairing, and make this
branch of their trade a speciality, re-
ceiving work from all over the State,
as we'll as Georgia and North Carroll
ma. They are both hustlers, and, al
though this is not the bicycle season,
they are doing better now than ever
before.
Visitors 20 their store are received
cordially and treated well. You will
do well 10 pay them visit.-State.

land grabbing is not entirely British

us that if the Monroe doctrine is to
gain force in America outside Of the

something more than declaration
