MAINLY ABOUT LOVE.
Boston transcripts Comments oA Duke

Boston transcripts Comments oH Duke
Of Manchsstsr's Wedding.
It's rank nonsense to presume that
a man can't love woman just as we'll
II she is the daughter Of a millionaire
as II she were only saleswoman, and
Just as silly, too, to think woman
can't be as devoted to man with a
title as to one who is motorman, for
instance. It's all in the man, and it's
all in the woman. There's just as
much so-called love among titles and
dollars as there is among the roses,
and the chances are as good for per-
|nanent happiness in one case as in
the other. All Of which is apropos of
the wedding of Miss Zimmerman with
the duke Of Manchester. A solid foun-
dation for reasoning that they will be
- happy As the average couple, quail
tatively and quantitatively, is the love
OF living that each of them enjoys.

Walks with . Broken BACK.

A case that is attracting attention in
the surgical world is that of Michael
kepler Of Raveno, Pa, who is suffer-
ing from a broken back Five years
ago he fell and sustained the injury.
The local doctors did not give him
much relief. and after two years he
went to Blossberg. Since then he has
undergone fourteen operations. He
was discharged from several hospitals
as incurable and was told to prepare
for the end. Kepler never became dis
couraged, and about year ago he
commenced to gain strength and for
several months he has been able to
walk His health is excellent, but the
pain in his back is intense. The bone
is decaying. and a large amount has
been cut away. He is one of the most
jovial, good natured young men in
the town. He has gone to Kane for

BEGGAR KINGS.
Lovy Tribute Upon Rich and Poor and
Arc Obeyed with AIAcrity.

If you want to grow rich in China
become the head of guild of beg
gars, thieves or lepers, says the Lon
don Express. Nankin, ,Pekin and Tien-
tsin are the headquarters of the most
powerful Of these guilds, and their
rulers are wealthy and respected. The
king of clan of Chinese vagabonds
of these classes derives his income
from a tribute rendered him by his
wretched subjects, and also levies
sort of blac@lmail on traders and mer-
chants by undertaking to keep their
shops, stores and houses free from the
particular pests which he controls.
From these two sources he realizes
large income and is enabled to live in
large houses and keep up great style
In his mode of life. Each clan has a
particular district OF the city given
over to it's operation. beyond which its
members are forbidden to stray. Hor-
rible self -multilations are practiced by
the beggars Of China in order that
their deformities may excite compass
sion and lead to profit. If you see

a certain sum, recover his property
Property stolen from Chinamen is

city has leper house outside its gates
and most of them have two or more.

An Omcial Blunder.

There was some confusion here to-
day. says a Columbia special Of Wed.
nesday. to the Greenville News, about
the News and Courier editorial calling
attention to the curious error In the
constitutional amendment relative to
municipal indebtedness. There was a
clerical error, and the amendment, as
printed. amends section Of article 4,
and section 7. Of article 8, instead OF
section S Of article 10, and section OF
article 8. There are two sections that
ought to have been mentioned for the
amendment restricting municipal In
debtedness to per cent. of the ASSESS
ed valuation Of the property. The Sec
ton Of article 10 that ought to nave
been amended was not mentioned.
This leaves one section restricting the
bonded indebtedness entirely unchang-
ed. This occurred in transcribing from
the original to the enrolled resolution.
The mistake Of article for 10 was car
ried from the original manuscript TO
the enrolled resolution, and the resolu-
ton as printed in the statutes for l9O0
contains the error, and the tickets were
printed from the enrolled resolution

IN an effort to sum up the opinions of
different party leaders as to the cause
Of Democratic defeat last Tuesday,
Charles Daniels, the Chicago cores
pondent Of the Atlanta Journal, sends
his paper of Wednesday the following:
Senator Tillman comes in for roast
also, as his utterances in the senate on
the race question have been quoted
from one end Of the nation to the 9TH
er, and have aroused much sectional
feeling and race hatred in the North.
His admission in the senate that they
lima and that Negroes had been dis
franchised, was one Of the principal
campaign arguments Of the Republi-
cans.
So far as we are concerned, we do
not believe Senator Tillman's utter
ances on this question, lost the party
a single vote. Though not truthful ev-
erytime he is rough, in his roughness
Tillman often states wholesome truths.
What he said on the franchise question
in the senate was true. He was not
ashamed of 1t, and neither is any white
South Carolinian who deserves to be
called a man ashamed. We do not be-
lieve the statements along this line lost
the party a vote. IF they did the
party need have no regrets.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-11-10

THE editor of the Columbia State re-
cites the fact that he was one five DEM
ocrats who presented themselves at the
polls to vote for Bryan, and that there
was only one individual in the crowd
who was able to produce tax receipt.
From this the editor argues that voting
conditions are intolerable and should
be changed, etc. This writer, along
with the other voting members Of The
ENQUIRER staff, presented himself at
the polls to carry out the obligation he
incurred in the primary, and having his
tax receipt pinned to his registration
certificate like the other members Of
the staff, was permitted to vote. We
have no complaint to make against the
registration law. On the contrary, we
think it is a good thing; but we have
no patience with rule that allows a
man who cannot assist in an election
to take part in a nomination. 1t is
this condition of affairs that is intoler-
able. and instead of making 1t easier
to vote in the general election, we think
it desirable to impose the general elec-
tion requirements on the primary.
