The Only Political Pebbles.

Walterboro Press and Standard.
At the campaign meeting in Wal
terboro on Monday of last week We
observed that it was the stock in
trade of some cf the candidates to
descant upon the faults and short
comings of their competitors rather
than discuss the questions OF public
interest.
Somewhere someone has said:
Those pronesl tc fault most i'm
pute it," Judged by this, where do
these detrac!ors of other mems
merits stand in the estimation OF an
intelligent people! What must We
think of men whose ideas OF what is
right and proper permit them in an
honorable contest for places of dis
tinction to decry their competitors,
to magnify their little errors, to elab-
crate their shortcomings, with TIE
hope of thereby gaining an advant-
age?
There was a time in the history of
South Carolina politics, but that
time we faiu would believe is past,
when reckless and extravagaLt
charges impugnipg the honesty
and sincerity of purpose of men in
Office Injured, for the time being, per-
hsps, to the advantage Of those who
deemed it not unfair to seek political
aggrandisenent by pulling down
their opponents.
We do hesitate to say what most
men will endorse, that be is mean
man who will, whatever his object.
magnify the faults while minimizing
the virtues of another. All men,
however honorable their conduct,
however exalted their character, fail
and come short of the highest con-
ceivable ideal of man, and the fellow
who is continually proclaiming the
faults of another, while seeking to
supplant such an one in the pubic
favor, is not to be trusted.

Broke Her Name In Two.

The society reporter of daily
paper had been detailed to procure
the names of prominent persons in
attendance at performance Of grand
opera.

approaching one of the occupants of
G. private box, "but will you obllge
me by giving me your name.

the lady.
"Pardon me" rejoined the repor-
ter, II did not quite catch the last

"Certainly. Jones, 10 Neeze,
taughtily..answered the occupant OF
the box, and the reporter retired to

,, lutely no authentic word as to the
whereabouts of the members cf the
legations, although abundant reports
from Chinese sources say that they
were safe few days ago. The
Daily Mails Snanghi correspondent
telegrapbing yesterday, says: "An
imperial decree has been sent to ell
the ciceroys advising them that the
foreign ministers were safe in Pekin
on June 25 and sfirmiDg that the
government would protect them.
There is no doubt that the Chinese
government fully realizes what the
safety of the ministers implies at the
present time and for this reason
there is less uneasiness about them"
The Shanghai correspondent of
the Daily Express under yesterdays
date, says: "Chinese officials declare
they have imperial authority for
stating that the foreign ministers
left Pekin for Tien Tsin via Pao
Ting Flu on June 26. They had
passports and were escorted by a
strong body Of Chinese troops. 1T
is impossible to verify this state
ment and the coDsuls here are not
disposed to place much faith in it,"
This leaves there whereabouts and
safety in mystery.
THE INTERNATIONAL ARMY.
Paris, June ga representative
of the Associated Press was informed
today that as result OF negotiations
between the powers an agreement
has been arrived at which provides
for the maintenance of the status
quo as regards spheres cf irfuence
and commercial agreements and also
respecting the nature of the guaran-
tees and compensations demanded
from China.
According to the understanding
the international army Of occupation
will consist of $4,000 men. Russia
and Japan will provide $4,000 each,
Great Britain will provide 10000
men, France 5000, and Germany
and America and the other powers
5000 each.
The Russian army corps in Siberia,
which has just been mobilized, will
only cross the Chinese frontier in the
event of the crisis being aggravated.

NO TEMPORIZIkG.
England Will Deal Vigorously With
the Chinese Problem.

London, June % -Temporizing
with the Chinese situation, 50 far as
the British government is concerned,
is temporarily past. Her majesty 3
ministers have adopted the theory
that the worst may be expected and
intend to act accordingly so long as
the danger lasts. Two full brigades
are being hurriedly prepared for en-
ba1kation from India. Each consists
of four battalions of infantry, with
divisional troops; one cavalry regi-
ment, three companies Of eappers
and miners and one field battery.
Two battalions will be sent to guard
the lines of communication. Gen.
Sir Alfred G G,nsalee commands this
army, with Gen. E g. Barrow as his
chief of staff. Some of the troops
have already started and others will
sail for China in a few days. Addi-
tional soldiers will be drawn from
South Africa as soon as Lord Roberts
advises the government he can spare
them.
Satisfaction prevails in private and
public circles in London on account
of the Russian communique publish
ed in St. Petersburg, declaring that
the Cars government wishes to pre-
serve the integrity Of China and
means to render honest aid to the
allies in restoring order and prevent
ing further slaughter of Europeans.
The rews from Washington touch
ing the probable action Of the United
States government in dealing with
the crisis is eagerly read in London.
Eugland's leading men do not hesi-
tate to affirm that the union jack and
stars and stripes should wave particu-
larly close together among the allied
flags nov assembled Taku in the
interest of international peace.

FINE WOOL SCARCE-THE OUT
LOOK.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
IL anything has been emphasized by
this SEASONS wool market il is that the
finest grades Of wool are in greater de-
mand than supply, and that the mill
owners are wiling to pay q premium
for such s-ccz. There is at present 40
actual famine OF due wool in this c0un
try. Not only here, but abroad, toe,
for the Australian supply Is small, and
London is adva. cling it's bids for flee
wool nearly every week. We have
been exporting foe wool to London
until deal re- are afraid to part with
any mora until the new clip comes IN
In fact the fear IL expressed in Eastern
markets that the supply Of even ordI-
nary wool will hardly be suth 5lenC for
the spring demand. What the new
clip will contain IN the way Of fine
wool is only col ctural, but 1t ID to De
hoped tina there will be plenty OF tel
grade, for thaG means increased profit
to the growers. A good thing always
means a better profit than a second
rate thing.
The remarkable condition Ct the
wool market this season is apt TO make
many forget al except the Z desire
and that Is 60 raise as much wool a.
soon as p0-sIo'e for the markets willis
prices rule nigh l. may be that those
who 90 80 Y, and raise only the finest
grade, will fare better in the end.
Wool win q long, feecy staple Is less
likely &c &c uaJe and decline than tee
eoar.e sn3ddy wool that nearly every =
body can raIse. Thers are indications
all over the country Of many new
hands frying their luck in the sheep
business. pney are buying up parts OF
Aocks and single animals IS a sort Of
speculation. II cheap grades Of wool
continue high they will meke some
money on their speculation, but If the
country should suddenly get ell this
wool needed there would be a lose.
The only sure protection against a
reaction from present good times in the
WQOA bEhAG Is ~ d4O W VIC AJCAS OLlJ
such animals thas will produce the
very fnesE f'ese. Then with good
feeding and care one need have lltyle
reason TO fear troublesome times ahead.
One is safe In raising &c many high
bred, good wool-producinz sheep as his
quarters will permit. There was never
a surer business that promised a fair
return. d. not mean to say that
riches or exprbitant profits will be
made thereOy, but that good prof 8
satisfactory u a sensible nan must be
assured. THIS view of the matter C n
hardly be qle-Uioaed by those who
have stu I51 the present wool market,
and the ou!ooz ut the sheep industry
in tni5 and c0un ries for the pa. t
six months. Oar h)cks are still too
email to threa en- the future with a 7
plus OF wool, especially of the highest
grade. E. P. SMITH.
