neighborhood, has been in the habit Of
sowing three pecks to the acre, but be-
lieves that half bushel is enough on
good land.
Mr.. J. M. Brice, of the Lominack
neighborhood, sowed various quantities
last year, ranging from slightly less
than half bushel to the acre to a
bushel and peck. The land is about
the same quality and the yield on that
where the seeding was heavier is no.
ticeably poorer than on the other.
Mr.. James B. Wood said that he did
not pay a great deal of attention to
wheat growing. He has been in the
habit of sowing a bushel to the acre.
His brother, Mr.. Thomas Wood, how
ever, sowed seven bushels of wheat on
IA acres last year and got yield of
about 126 bushels. ut is my observa-
tion," said Mr.. Wood, "that a bushel
of wheat to the acre is too much"

TALKED ABOUT JAPAN.

An interesting feature OF Chlldren's
Day exercises in the Presbyterian
Sunday school of Yorkville, last Sun
day afternoon, was a talk by Rev.
Samuel r. Hope, of Lowryville, a
missionary to Japan, now at home on
short visit.
Rev. Mr.. Hope, it will be remem-
bered, left for Japan in September,
1892, and has been doing missionary
work in the Flowery Kingdom ever
since, his last location being Toxushi-
ma, and he has evidently been doing
great deal of serious work. So one
would judge from the marked change
that has taken place in his personal
appearance, during his absence. When
the people of Bethesda bade him fare
we'll in September, 1892, he was little
more than pale face boy, with raven
black hair and wearing heavy dark
moustache. Now the moustache is
gone, the hair is iron gray and his Deep
ly tanned face carries, to striking ex-
tent, that pleasant, earnest, benevolent
expression characteristic of those who
consistently devote their lives to
Christian work.
There were no pretentions to ora
tory, or other embellishments in Mr..
Hopes address. 1t was plain, prac-
tical talk, covering a great deal OF
ground and giving a considerable
amount of interesting information. He
told of the extent of Japan'from Kam-
chatka on the north, to the American
Philippine possessions on the south,
and covering all the variations of
climate from the frigid to the torrid
zones. He spoke of the characteristics
of the people, and especially of their

From Enquirer to Rock Hill.
Messrs. j. w. Simril and w. A.
Youngblood, of the Clay Hill section,
were in Yorkville Monday to see Con-
gresham Finley about the proposed
star route from Enquirer to Rock
Hill. It appears that although the
Offices of Concord and Indian Hook
have been established, it will be nec-
essary to have more red tape unwound
before the mail route is in operation rs
desired. The proposed new route
however, is very necessary. 1t will
run for 1S or 20 miles through terri
tory that now has but the poorest of
mail facilities, and by all means it
should be established.
A Jersey Gold Mine.
The ENQUIRER has, from time to
time, published statements of facts il
Illustrating the remarkable rate of in
crease that seems to be peculiar to
Jersey cattle but this from Mr.. J.
Frank Moore, of Bethesda, seems more
remarkable than any statement that
has been previously published on the
subject. In May, 1894, Mr.. Moore
purchased Jersey COW that was %
months old. Since then the COW has
dropped seven heifer calves. Eleven
calves have been dropped by these
seven, and five have been dropped by
the eleven. The herd, including the
original cow and two heifers sold for
beef, has multiplied in years to %
head. Mr.. J. F. Moore still owns three
head; DR.. w. M. Love has three; Mr..
T. E. Moore three; Mr.. D. L. Black
two; Mr.. J. s. Sandifer three; Mr.. F.
D. Davidson two; Mr.. J. Nc. Moore
four; Mr.. N. J. Johnson one. The
original cow has a tested record of
four gallons of milk day. And this
record has been equaled by several of
her progeny.

The price of wheat continues tt

The price of wheat continues to
soar. July contracts closed on the
Chicago market last Saturday at SO
cents, an advance of At on the day
before, 12 cents higher than on the pre-
vious Saturday, and % cents higher
than three week ago. 1t is claimed
that the advance is due to natural
conditions rather than to speculation,
principal feature being the fact that
the Dakotas and Minnesota, which
last year harvested 2OO,OOO,OOO bush
els of wheat, will this year harvest not
more than 75,OOO,0OO. Flour has risen
from 81 to $1.25 barrel, and there is
as yet no apparent weakening of the
upward tendency. 1t looks as if our
York county farmers have this year
struck it just about right.

tendencies with regard to religion.

tendencies with regard to religion.
The Roman Catholics established their
form of Christianity in Japan several
hundred years ago, and when an effort
was made TO stamp out the faith
through persecution, thousands OF
converts chose death rather than re-
nounce their belief. 1t is so today
but still there is among the people a
strong prejudice against Christianity,
and tendency on the part of the gov
ernment to discriminate against it in
schools and elsewhere. The japanese
take more quickly than any other
Eastern nation to the material i'm
provements of foreigners. They un-
hesitatingly adopt everything foreign
that appears to be better than their
own way of doing things but still
they have a strong feeling against the
foreigner himself. They are jealous
of the spread of foreign influence, and
the anti-foreign feeling is daily grow
ing stronger and stronger throughout
the empire. In conclusion, Mr.. Hope
said that Japan offers great field for
missionary effort, and he was of opin-
ion that there was promise of more
successful work in the immediate fu.
ture than had ever been accomplished
in the past.
Mr.. Hopes talk occupied but little
over half an hour in its delivery, and
from the close attention he received, it
was evident that his hearers greatly
enjoyed what he had to say.

ONE of the most serious evils in this
country is the weakness of men in pub
lie Office. Too many of them think more
of their chances for reelection than OF
discharging their duties fearlessly and
faithfully. Whenever serious crisis
arises, Immediately the officer begins to
vacillate and speculate as to what course
he should pursue, and his conduct is
not influenced so much by what is right
as by what effect his policy will have upon
the largest number of voters. Too often
mans entering politics loses his indi-
viduality and all Independent manliness.
I-Winnsboro News and Herald.
The criticism is true bill but does
our contemporary get at the meat OF
the situation Is it the people or the
officeholder who is to blame? We
dislike to think there is no such a
thing as man who can be a man
under any and all circumstances.
We know that such men are scarce
but there are some. We've known
some. We know some now. Election
to Office cannot change real man. A
weak man elected to Office will still
be weak. A strong man elected to
Office will remain strong. If the peo-
pie want strong men in office they
must elect strong men, instead OF
thoroughly good fellows, who, like
constitutionally mean ones, are gener-
weak. When people rely upon their
Judgment instead of their sympathies
in the selection of candidates, they
are not likely to be disappointed in
results.

he was convinced of the actual status
of the situation, Quay introduced bis

upon the passage of this resolution
their influence in the future conven-

that if Quay would withdraw the res

dent as might be agreeable to him.

nominated against his will and to the

TURMOIL IN CHINA.
The Confusion Seems to Grow Worse Con
founded.

The Confusion Seems to Grow Worse Con-
founded.
If China is not now at war with the
great powers of Europe and the
United States, it would puzzle the av-
erage layman to distinguish the differ
ence. AS yet none of the great pow
ers have officially proclaimed a state
of war. All are proceeding, however,
as if there is no need for declaration
of purposes.
The story that Admiral Seymour's
column of 1000 men had entered Pc
kin appears to have had no better
foundation than mere speculation. A
dispatch of Monday says that there
has been no definite news from the COL
umn for 12 days. There have been
rumors of heavy fighting between
foreigners and Chinese about forty
miles east of Tien Tsin, and at Shang-
hal it is assumed that this has reference
to the force under Admiral Seymour.
About 5000 foreigners, cooped up in
Tien Tsin, were at last accounts hav-
ing desperate time of it. The city
was surrounded by the regular Chinese
army, which was bombarding with
heavy artillery. On last Friday force
of about 600 American and Russian
marines attempted to relieve the city /;
but was repulsed, and arrangements
were made to renew the attack with
1000 men, all that were available.
This attack was to have been on Sun
day but the result has not yet been
reported.
The big battleship Oregon left Hong
Kong on Sunday for Taku and expect
ed to make the trip of about 1900
miles in six days. Japan is landing
large numbers of troops at Taku, with
view to marching on Tien Tsin and
Pekin, and Russia is hurrying her
troops at Port Arthur to the scene of
the trouble as rapidly as possible. The
authorities at Washington are repres-
ented as being engaged in making as
extensive war preparations as were in
progress at any time during the Span
ish war, and the same news comes from
all the various European governments.
In the attempt to relieve Tien Tsin
last Thursday, it is reported that four
Americans were killed ard seven were
wounded. The total foreign casualties
reported up to to Tuesday was 300,
and it is claimed that the Chinese kill
ed already aggregate several thousand.
The Chinese army is represented as be-
ing we'll drilled and armed with the
best modern weapons.
Official representatives of the Chi.
nese government in Washington and
the various European capitals still in.
sist that it is all mistake, and they are
begging the different governments not
to land any more troops in China be-
cause of the danger of causing a gen.
eral uprising. These pleas and rep
reservations, however, are receiving
but little attention.

SEEDING OF WHEAT.

In view of the interest that has been
occasioned on the subject of wheat
seeding, the reporter made it point
last Saturday to ask number of far
mers as to the custom each had been
following. So far as the inquiries
went, the replies indicate bushel to
the acre as the general rule, and but
few have ever devoted much thought
to the subject as to whether this is too
much or too little.
Mr.. T. L. Carroll, who lives three
miles east of Yorkville, says that hall
bushel to the acre is his rule. He sows
in October on good land, and the
wheat generally stools out we'll and
gives good stand. He thinks half
bushel to the acre is enough on good
land, and that, as general thing, on
poor land pint is too much. He
does not think that wheat should be
sowed on poor land at all.
Mr.. G. R. Wallace, who lives on the
Charlotte road, four miles northeast of
Yorkville, believes in three pecks to
the acre. He has been following that
as a rule, and thinks it is about right.
Never having tried half bushel, to
the acre, he does not know whether it
is enough or not; but this fall proposes
to make an experiment on at least one
half acre. He will use a drill for
wheat hereafter.
Mr.. J. G. Mcknight, of Lominack,
six miles southwest of Yorkville, is a
bushel to the acre man. He has been
following the rule largely as a matter
of habit; but has about arrived at the
conclusion that bushel is too much.
One year he remembers to have sowed
wheat that had been soaked and swell
ed, at the rate of bushel to the acre.
The number of grains was, of course,
much less than if there had been no
swelling. That year his harvest was
at the rate of twenty bushels to one
sown. This and other similar pointers
have about convinced him that he
should not seed so heavily.
Mr.. f. D. Land, of the Beersheba
neighborhood, believes in half bushel
to the acre. He got the rule from his
grandfather, and has followed it all his
life with satisfactory results. In the
case of small grained wheats like the
Ripley, half bushel is too much and
he sows less.
Mr.. l.. c. Neill, of Zadok, had been
in the habit of sowing from a bushel
to bushel and q peck to the acre.
Last year he sowed only half bushel
to the acre and was so disappointed in
the result, that he will not try it again.
He thinks that bushel and peck is
better than bushel.
Mr.. p. B. Neill, who lives about four
miles west of Yorkville, believes in
from three pecks to bushel. He has
little faith in a less quantity.

Sprouting In the Field.
Although, so far as THE ENQUIRER
has been able to gather, all the York
county wheat grown this year was
harvested without unusual efforts, on
account of the rains of the past two
weeks much of it is now sprouting in
the shocks. Reports to this effect
have been received from different Sec
tions of the county but there is no
sufficient information upon which to
base an estimate of the extent of the
damage.
Eight Thousand From One.
Speaking of the 81 stalks of wheat
from single grain, exhibited by Mr..
]. w. Smith, Mr.. John w. Simril, of
Clay Hill, told the reporter the other
day . story that is along the same line.
"Mr. John M. spratt, of Fort Mill, is
my authority" said Mr.. Simril. "He
told me that Mr.. Fred Minis, believe
it was, counted about 5000 grains of
oats as coming from single grain" "
At fifty grains to the head, Mr.. Smiths
grain of wheat should have yielded
1850 grains.
Damage by High Water.
The unusually heavy rains of last
Friday night raised the water courses
in all parts of the county and did much
damage to bottom corn and to terraces.
We have reports from Crowder's, Bea.
verdam, Big Allison, Little Allison,
Bullock's, Clark's Fork, Fishing and
Turkey creeks, and the story is every
where the same, except the damage in
the Turkey Creek and Beaverdam
bottoms seemed to have been more
severe than elsewhere. Generally the
water was higher than it has previous
ly been at any time this year.
