The Olympia Cotton hIill.

One of the new enterprises going
up in Columbia is the enormous stable
being erected by the Olympia cotton
mill for it's own use. The building
will be over two hundred feet in length
and about one hundred and fifty feet
wide. Work has already been COM
menced, aud will be carried to an early
completion. The stable is to be fin
ished in the most modern way, and
will consist Of forty stalls. Here all
the dray horses and wagons for the
Olympia, CRANKY and Richland cotton
mills are to be kept.
Another important feature connect
ed with this enterprise is to be fire

penee of these three mills. AS the
situation now is the mills have but lit
tie protection from fire from the city
department on account of poor flow
of water in that part of the town, and
hence the authorities have taken these
precautionary measures. There is to
be one chemical engine, two hose reels
and one hook and ladder, all of which
will be manipulated by trained fire.

The Charleston Exposition.

The Nashville American says: The
South Carolina ter.State and West
Indian exposition at Charleston will
shortly be organized, and preparations
will begin for the buildings and dis
plays, which will be opened in De-
cember.
The exposition project, when first
broached, included only the idea OF
state fair, but upon discussion it was
determined that it should be of q
broader scope. AS the name indicates,
exhibits from states outside OF South
Carolina and from the new possessions
of the United States will be displayed.
As is natural, particular attention will
be given to cotton and cotton manu-
factures, though mining and general
manufactures and agriculture will be
we'll represented.
The exposition will, no doubt, prove
a Success, as it is backed by keen and
sagacious business men. Located in
the south in the winter season, and IN
a city crowded with historic memories
and full of quaintness and romance,
there should be large attendance
from the more northerly states. Such
an exposition will be of inestimable
benefit, not only to Charleston aud
South Carolina, but to the entire
south.

A London, August 9 dispatch says:
At last the story of Pekin has been
told. DIR. Morrison, in, today's Times,
holds up the Chinese government be-
fore the world as guilty, and to a de-
gree OF infamy and duplicity that ex-
ceeds the surmise of it's worst detract-
ors. In the same dispatch he gives a
more hopeful view of the prospects of
the besieged than has been expressed
by any of the others who have been
heard from.
simultaneously there comes from the
Belgian charge d'affaires at Shanghai
an official statement that the allies are
expected to reach Pckin in about a
week, they being eighteen miles from
Tien Tsin. Another letter has been
received at Tien Tsin from the British
minister, Sir Claude Mcdonald, dated
July "a.
"We are ~surroun1.1 by imperial
troops" he writes, "who are firing on
us continuously. The enemy is enter
prising but cowardly. We have pro-
visions for about a fortnight and are
eating ~ ponies.
"The Chinese government, if there
be enc, has done nothing whatever to
help us. IL the Chinese do not press
the attack we can hold out for, say,
ten days. So no time should be lost,
IL a terrible massacre is to be avoided
DIR. Morrison says there has been a
cessation of hostilities at Pekin since
July IS, and that the main lolics of
the imperial troops have left Pekin to
meet the relief forces; that supplies
are beginning to come in aud condi-
tions are improving.

Spring wheat is n failure and fall
wheat is threshing ont an average Of
about ten bushels to the acre. Oats is

vancing as she spoke. II seemed as
IL she were longing for him to un-
cover his face, TO take her into his
arms.
Alan" she cried, "oh. my darling,
are you not glad to see me?"
There was still no doubt in her
mind. She thought that the Joy OF
seeing her had been too great, and
that he was trying to recover from
the shock. She had no doubt, poor
soul, at all. He loved her, therefore
her coming to him must be inexpres-
sible Joy.
Then Alan uncovered his haggard
face. Glad? No! II has ruined my
life!" he cried brutally. But for the
moment he could think of nothing but
~Joyce-his Joyce. with whom life had
begun so joyfully. and whose heart he
must 10Y break, as his own had been
broken. II wish 1 were dead!" he
said, with a sob.

Of your child, who has undergone
all hardships, and who has Just lived

She turned, walking unsteadily,
holding her child's hand tightly. And
then a great temptation assailed Alan
Mackenzie. The temptation to let
her go, to let her be lost to him, to
say nothing to Joyce; but to go on
as IL the days work had never been.
And then he saw in a fash what his
life would be. How every moment of
happiness with Joyce would have its
corresponding moment Of bitterness
when he was alone; how he must live
a double life, always on the brink of
detection. Not worse, perhaps, that
the life parted from Joyce; but then
he would be an honest man, and not a
traitor. He put his temptation away
from him, thanking God that he could
do so, knowing hat Joyce would not
love a man who was dishonorable. So

The Chinese imperial government is

their delivery at Tien Tsin IL this can

Unquestionably n proper assurance
of the safe delivery of the minis ers
would have some effect upon the tenn

that the United States government
would give ear to o%vertures in that di-
rection were not the attempt made
by the Chimes, to impose conditions
upon the delivery that are altogether
seriously Objectionable. Such, for
instance, is a stipulation that the
Chinese imperial authorities shall be
absolved in advance from the conse-
quenccs of the attempt and for liability
Of what has taken place in Pekin.
