Months Than Same Time Last Year.
The records in the Office of the tax

WEALTHY CHINESE
COMING THIS WAY
Returning Home From New York
With a Comfortable ssa
Fortune.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Lee Choup, per
haps the wealthiest man in New York's
chinatown" is going back to China, to
live out his old age in the luxury which
can be purchased with the fortune he
has amassed in this city, says the Fri
bune. He Will leave next Monday for
Canton, with his wife and three children,
born in this city. In China he has two
other wives, whom he has not seem for
five years. His mother, now eighty-four
years of age, is in poor health, and Lee
wants to see her again before she dies
The fortune which Lee Choup is taking
back to China is variously estimated at
from s125, 900 to s15O,OOO He got his start
in Canada, when the Canadian Pacific
Railroad was being built, by carrying out
some heavy contracts. Then he Went to
Portland. Ore, and opened a small store.
A number of years ago he came to New
York, and founded Chinese trading
firm. which has become one of the larg-
est in the Chinese quarter, and has a
branch in Boston. aa

BASIS OF APPOINTMENTS.

At the recent meeting of the Repub-
lican Territorial Committee, the follow
ing resolution, proposed by t. McCants
Stewart, was adopted:
Resolved, That the following rule be
adopted, namely: All appointments to
office in the public service should be
made, as far as practicable, upon the in
dorsement of majority of the executive
committee of the district committee Of
the district in which the applicant re-
sides, and the executive committee of
this Territorial committee. All rules or
resolutions or parts thereof inconsistent
with this rule are hereby rescinded.'
We hope that Governor Dole and the
heads of departments, in choosing men
to help them carry out administrative
concerns for which they alone are re-
sponsible to. Congress and the Presi-
dent, will TAXI nc notice of such recon-
mendations unless they find themselves
convinced as to their propriety from a
personal and official standpoint, Other
wise there may be more Neys eft al in
office.
The idea that Governor Dole, in
choosing a man for responsible APP
pointment. should allow his mind to be
made up for him by. any irresponsible
district committeeman whose opinions
or prejudices the majority in the Ter
ritorial Committee might not like tt
contradict, is preposterous. The Gov
ernor and not the district committee
man nor the Committee itself is to bt
held accountable if anything goe:
wrong; and if anything does go wrong
the crowd led by some of these yer!
committeeman would be the first tt
iclamor for the removal of the Governol
as one who had misused the appointiv'
power.
While Theodore Roosevelt was Presi
dent of the New York Police Commits
sion and Governor of New York h
practiced what he has preached a
chairman OF. the Civil Service Commits
sion. While reasonably deferential t
the advice of party leaders he did no
permit them to dictate his appoint
ments, much less to compel the selec
ton for any Office of an unfit man. A
President of the United States he vii
naturally appreciate a similar policy o,
the part of all Federal officials havin
the appointive power. 1t is a suggestio
which ought not to be missed by an
of the Hawaiian Territorial admins
traitors, for if President Roosevelt hear
of the institution here of the wors
features of the spoils system there Wi
be some strict accounting to follow.

LONG AND CHANDLER.

1t was expected from the first that
Mr.. Long, after a reasonable interval,
would retire from the cabinet of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He has not yet done
so, but his intentions are clear enough
to permit the friends of ex-Secretary
Chandler to indulge the hope that the
latter may, at an early date, resume
the naval portfolio which he had in the
time Of President Arthur.
Secretary Chandler is the father of
the new American navy, a title which
has sometimes been mistakenly given
to VIM. C. Whitney, his successor.
During his term the keels were laid of
the first modern warshlps under the
Stars and Stripes and before he retired,
the Chicago, Atlanta, Boston and Dol
phinswere afloat. His interest in naval
matters thus stimulated has grown great
and well-informed. If he is not popular
among naval officers it may be attribut-
ed to the fact that he had small respect
for the land sailor and did his best te
make our sea-commanders. who had
since 1870, suffered from the laxity anG
disuse into which the equipment of tbs
Navy had fallen. worthy of the new wal
marine he was building up.
Unfortunately Mr.. Chandler has not
of late years, been in sympathy Will
vital Republican policies. His suddel
loss Of the Senatorship was due 10 hi
pro-silver attitude and to the sharpness
of his published criticisms of Presiden
Mckinley and Chairman Hanna. A
home he is no longer Republican lead
er and on that account could bring n
special strength, politically. to the I'D
ministration.
The reason for the probable retire
ment of Secretary Long dates back t
the time when President Roosevelt wa
Assistant Secretary of the Navy TIL
two men did not agree very we'll durin
and just preceding the Spanish war, up
on matters of policy, and it has been EN-
barrassing to both to meet under tn
altered official relations brought abou
by the death @of President Mckinley.

A Disastrous Hail Storm

In our last issue we reported
considerable damage done by the
hail which fell in several sections
of the county Thursday night.
We thought the damage was great
but it wa. only slight when COM
pared with that done by hail in the
vicinity of Westville, just over
the line in Kershaw county, the
same night We are told that
hailstones could be gathered up
by wagon loads from the ground
the following day and that on at
least nine farms in the vicinity of
Westville, the owners cannot
hope to gather as much as 25
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
Nothing but the bare stalks are
left standing. Some of the
heaviest losers are Messrs. Thos.
Cauthen, James Cauthen, and
Joseph Gardner. Mr.. Gardner
had one field of sixteen acres in
cotton from which he generally
gathers about fourteen bales but
our informant stated it would be
impossible for him to make as
much as five pounds per acre on
it this year. The storm extended
on to Horns mill, about fifteen
miles from Westville.
The same night our old friend,
Mr.. w. S. Horton, who lives near
Kershaw, had his cotton crop
badly injured by hail along with
several of his neighbors.
