BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

AS we predicted u last xSek's
i@ue Btyan and Stevenson mould
W nominated by thess KansassC City
convention to make the fight for
Democracy. There was hardly
a school boy but who could have
told you Bryan would be nominat-
ed, but the Oldest politician was
kept guessing TOR days who would
be selected as his running mate,
and until Hills positive refusal
did the wise men of tho conven-
tion follow the star of the West
that carried them to Bloom
ing, ILL.,, where CIeyeland's vice.
President lived and he, Stevenson,
was again selected. A true Demo-
crat to party faith and teachings,
and as many predict by his selec-
ton, insures the states of Illinois,
and Indiana to Democracy's side.
Should this prove true and Demo
cracy hold what 1t had in the last
election the fight is won.
The platform has more of
ring of the old Democracy's plat
form than any of late years, and
had the conservatism of some ii its
trainers been listened to-if Demo
crazy could have won with Bryan,
the young tribune of the people
at all, it would have bathed its
triumphant colors in victory next
November. But with this straight
out declaration for silver 16 to-
again its effect on the financial
supporters and business men of
the East can only be determined
after the votes are counted. Still
Bryan's CONSTANT and unyielding
stand on the insertion of this plank
has gained for HIM the warmest
admiration and feeling after its
insertion, if 1t proves contrary to
his teachings, an injury and not a
benefit to business he will be as
quick to repeal it for the country's |
good as he was to advocate it. |
This will give him thousands of |
votes in the East, especially in
New York and with the Tammany
behind him, and it
being the year for New York
to 90 Democratic he may carry
the state The situation Is full
Of hope, the ticket is a Demo-
cratic one and strong-the course
If our Southern people is plain
md a Democratic victory in
November may be the reward.

NO ENCAMPMENT.

The militaryeyencalnptrpent al
GreenvilIe has been declared off
to say the people of the AQueer
City of the Delta are disappointed
expresses it but mildly. The cos
In dollars, both to merchants anc
committee by the declaring off Of
the encampment at this late hour,
will amount to over thousand.
The only reason given for its fail.
ure to come by Adjutant Gen
VIM. Henry, is the lack of State
appropriations and the present
condition of crop prospects. The
Ehrst reason was, we thought, met
10y our encampment committee
Ehere when Gen. Henry, ut the
public meeting, stated the amount
necessary TO raise to overcome
this objection, and the committee
raised lt-as to the last, the crop
condition was unseen, and while
we admit it was gloomy two weeks
ago it is daily frightening and by
the time of the encampment if the
present weather continues, it will
not stand in the way of many at
tending.
The State of Georgia whose
crop condition is, if anything,
worse than Mississippi, will hold
their National Guard encampment
and Mississippi should do like
wise, if as Gen. Henry says, ''it is
required by the Government to
sustain the National Guards in the
service" However. Gen. Henry,
in calling off the encampment
must assume the responsibility,
and no doubt, secs good reasons
for it, but we do feel that had he
even contemplated doing so the
committee here should have been
notified earlier, that some of the
expense gone to could have been
saved them and our people.
We are glad to say to the
State, the failure of having the en-
campment is not due to the com
mittee here in charge, or to our
citizens, for they have been wide
awake from the start and have
raised the amount agreed on to
bring the encampment here. And
all can feel that had they came
royal good time had been arrang-
ed for them for their ten days stay.

THE COTTON FACTORY.

Some, no doubt, think our cot
ton factory movement has been
dropped for good, but such is not
the case. Upto the present mo
ment we have waited on Mr..
Richards of the Southern Railway,
through whom we received the
proposition to furnish us man
of capital to unite with us in build
ing the mill, provided we would
raise certain sum. This amount
has been raised and is now ready
to be put IN on the arrival and ac-
ceptance of this gentleman OF Mr..
Richards. We received a let
ter Il few days back from Mr..
Richards stating the party had been
delayed, but would be here this
month, Our intention is to wait
until after August for the party,
but If he does not show up by then
we will take up the work again,
and if possible erect it out of
home capital. GreenvilIe must
have cotton mill and we are will
ing to do the work if the people
will give us their support.

THE SECRETARY AND TREAS.
URER.

The board having failed to elect
Secretary and Treasurer, Presi
dent Jayne appointed Mr.. John
Crouch to this important office.
1t would have been very difficult
to have selected a man whose APP
pointment would more nearly meet
with universal approval than will
that OF Mr.. Crouch. To the people
of Washington county he needs no
introduction, but to the taxpayers
of the other counties OF the dis
trict we take the liberty of saying
that they have in him a gentleman
who will make an honest, pains
taking official, - always careful
and always accommodating. No
better selection could have been
made, and on it The Times con-
graduates Mr.. Crouch, the people
and the President of the Board.

FORMER CHINESE Rebellion.


FORMER CHINESE Rebellion.
| ,r;y s5As.tr5 - -, rs
The present uprising in fGhlma
Which threatens such dire Results
is very much like the rebellion of
1850 IN that country. II
That outbreak is known by the
outside world as the TAPPING re-
bellion, though the Chinese called
it Chang Mao Tseh," which by
translation is 1.-THE long haired
rebels " Those whom we call
Boxers are known to the Chinese
as 81 Ho Chinan,' Or righteous
ness, Harmony and Feasts."
The Chinese rebels of 1860 were
arraycd both against the Chinese
government and all foreigners,
Just as the Boxers are today. Re-.
llgious fanaticisnl had much to do
with bringing about both rebel
lions,
Hung Sew Use uer. the "Heaven-
~ King of the ''long haireo re-
bells began his battles as means
ofcoppelling h s fellow either ms
to worship the only true God.
Hung Sew Tseuen had been a
Christian, and ms followers at the
beginning had all the ferver of
fanatlcal religious converts, but
they soon gathered into the fold
all the pirates and robbers from
the surrounding country and gave
themselves up to plumber under
the leadership Of their self-appolnt-
ed heavenly kin 9. From 1850 I'M
til 1893 the L aiping rebels held
sway in the Klangsoo district,
which lies bel ween the Yangtse

Hang Chou Say on the South.
The first OF gained resistance to |
the lnsurgent IS was made by the
merchants OF Canton. The army |
which they raised was first led by

an army commanded by General
Charles George Gordon, after

who was. murdered by the Mahdists
in Kha rtoum.
Gor1on's army at first was made
up OF about four thousand Chinese
troops with about three hundred Il
American and European officers.
Gordon never had much larger
force, but by his genius for or
ganization and his wonderfully
rapid movements, he succeeded in
stamping out the rebellion. The
Ever Victorious Army" as Cor
don's little force was called, fought
thirty-fve pitched battles in two
years, and won a decisive victory
IN each. Many thousands of
Chinese fell before the assaults ,
of Gordon's soldiers. He convert.
ed his Chinese troops into superb
lighters and his name finally struck {
such terror to the rebels that they
became completely demorallzed
and gave up the fight. It's hard q

with so small a loss of life. 1t -

1t appears from report made to the

building industry in Russia, with the ex-
ception Of the government works for bat

measures are under consideration for the
promotion of the merchant marine The
consul general says that the river steam
ers, tugs. ETC., are built In small shipyards
with Russian material and workmen Tho
material, he says, could be purchased
abroad at less price. but that the total ex-
penses are reduced on account of the
cheapness of labor in Russia, common
workmen receiving from 81 to "a cents a

Some of our older readers may remember
a copper coin of the current value of half
cent that was not infrequent fifty years
ago or more. The one-cent coin then con-
tanned more than twice as much metal as
the present coin of this denomination. 1t
has been presumed that coins of the half
cent denomination had forever gone out of
use, but it is reported that some retail deal
ers IN Chicago are putting out token
coin which is taken in their own shops as
of the value of half cent, they finding il
convenient in bargain sales of small ar

dispatch from New York says that Geo.
w. Van Sicklen. president of the America
council of the South African Republics and
advocate in America for the Transvaal sent
the Following official letter to the Portu-
guese minister in this city yesterday:
Dear Sir: l am in a position to offer

award known as the Delagoa bay award,
Wnlch mas just been made by the Geneva
arbitration tribunal. say, six million dol
lars (s6.UDWW. Fair and satisfactory terms

The offer is regarded as a move on the
part OF the Beers to offset any offer which
England may make to Portugal, thus en-
barrassing the Lisbon government and
thereby at the same time closing the rear
door TO the Transvaal and Orange Free
State.
