QUE TRADE HT1H CHIN

Our trade with China has suffered
greatly from the troubles in that coun-
try. While in the seven months ending
with January, 1901, the total exports
from the United States increased more
than s10o,0o0,o00, or about 10 per cent.
to China alone the exports from the
United States show a fall of more than
so per cent In most of the articles
other than those required by the troops
now in the field in that country there
is marked decrease while in few
articles, such as telegraph instruments,
flour, meats, butter and cheese, there is
an increase. Very marked is the fall
ing off in such important articles as
cotton cloths, Illuminating oils, cars and
carriages bicycles, builders hardware,
lumber and furniture, which enter into
the daily requirements of the life Of the
people of China. Cotton cloths for in
stance, show decrease from 115, 993,S40
yards in seven months Of the fiscal year
1900 to 12,476,6S0 yards in the same
months of the fiscal year 1901. Mineral
oils show a fall from 16,030,96G gallons
to 9492,3 gallons in the corresponding
months of the present fiscal year.
Builders hardware decreased from $685.
$50 to $16,347, cars and carriages from
$14,991 to less than 1000, clocks and
watches from S12, $50 to 81, 1856, and man
ufactures of tobacco from S261,7S2 to
$1S0,121.
This Is not pleasant, but it is pleasant
to think that when the troubles in Chi
ma are over the generous course which
this country has pursued will tend to !
Increase our trade with China.

DISTURBED GERMANe,

The German mercantile community is
a good deal disturbed by the threat of
severe Russian reprisals in the event of
the German government raising the
duties upon the importations of Rus
sian grain. The Russo German Union,
which includes many Chambers of
Commerce and hundreds of influential
business firms, has addressed petition
to the imperial Chancellor, Count Won
Buelow, begging him to use his infu-
ence in favor of granting increased
facilities for the import of Russian
produce into Germany in the event of
duties being imposed upon
grain The petition expresses the hope
that the Russian government will be

NIGHT TERRORS OF CHILDREN.
To be the subject of these phenomena
is to say that something is wrong in the
physical condition. 1t may be safely
laid down as rule that no child SUI
fering from night terrors is entirely
well. Some signs of delicate health or
excitable nervous symptoms will be
found. The child is anaemie, has indi-
gcstion. Is rickety, has some point of
irritation which refleXly induces the
nervous outbreak. Weak digestion or
the taking Of improper food may be
said to be a frequent cause. In rarer
cases / have known the disease to be
due to enlarged tonsils, chronic bron-
chial troubles, ear disease, worms or
sometimes delayed or painful dentition.
Nervous shocks or frishts during the
preceding day are often responsible for
the occurrence. Thus, there is an ex-
ample On record of their occurring in
child who was bitten by parrot during
the day, and another who was fright
ened by the barking of dag. And in
some instances they have been known
to follow the relation of narrowing sto-
ries during the evening.
There is a serious aspect or this con-
dtion. 1t is the question of the rela-
ton between this disease and more
grave brain affection. OF these the
first and most important one Is epilep-
sy, and the only one we may consider
here. While most of the instances Of
night terrors recover, certainly in come
rare cases they may mean the early
symptoms of this terrible disease.
When a child having bad family his
tory, who is nervous and in a reduced
state of health, develops night terrors,
they should at once be the occasion of
exciting the suspicion Of the parent,
who should then exercise the greatest
care in the treatment. They some
times, 1 repeat, foreshadow epilepsy,
and may for months be the early mani |
festation of this disease. If appropri- |
ate treatment is Immediately instituted,
1t may be possible to avert terrible |
future for the child, from which one
afflicted with epilepsy cannot escape.
1t Is always fatal to allow the nervous
system to cultivate a habit OF nerve |
explosions. 1t is so easy thing to es- |
tablish, and such a difficult one to
break up.-Dr. John Rhein in Harper's |
Bazaar.

THE PHILIPPINES TREE WEALTl

THE PHILTPPTNESs JI EE- WEALTH.
Our Philippines may not turn out to
be any better bargain than Alaska did,
but there is evidently money in them.
For instance. in the forests. The for
est lands of the islands cover $1,000 900
acres; larger in extent and greater in
value than the forests of India. There
are 1856 species Of timber-producing
trees, and about fifty more species yet
unclassified Included in the above list
are very hard woods, capable of taking
beautiful polish; woods that resist
climatic influences and the attack of
white ants; still others that are espec-
tally suited for sea-piling or for use as
railroad ties. There are many varieties
of trees producing valuable gums, oils
and drugs; rubber and gutta-percha are
abundant in Mindanao and -Tawi;
while at least seventeen dye-woods are
found within the limits of the archi-
pelago. Cocoanut palms grow without
care or cultivation throughout the is
lands. There are also many varieties
Of palms. bamboo, canes, and rattan
which are OF commercial value and
will afford profitable employment to
native labor
The Philippine forests are under the
superintendent of Captain George p.
Ahern, and they are going to be scien-
tificaly looked after SO that their value
will not be wasted or nisused.

According to a letter in the London
Daily Mail, wherever in China the flag
of one of the European nations is hoist
ed it is considered that the mother
country is in control, and that place
must, therefore, be respected by the
troops Of other nationalities. Some of
the wealthy Chinese were quick to take
advantage Of this, and they purchased
flags from the European officers in or
der to secure their homes from the raids
of the looters. The letter states that
the French. Germans, Italians. and Rus
SLAMS encourage this traffic in their ma
tional colors, and that the American
and British officers We're the. only ones
who did not engage in it. AS an esti
mate of the price paid, the correspond
ent states that one British officer was
offered $4,000 for union jack. Bust
ness is business.

boards and fixtures. The controversy
was taken into court. Judge Bell sides
with the selectmen and against the

public trees" he says They have

years. The guideboards are all right
The tree warden has no jurisdiction as

they have the right to lop them off.

A remarkable literature in favor of
total abstinence Is being developed un-
der the leadership of German scientists
and physicians, professors of physiolo-
gy, pathology and nervous diseases, and
medical directors and superintendent
of prisons, hospitals and insane asy-
1ums. Startled by the havoc made by
alcohol, as revealed by. their own OBJ
servation and by statistics, they have
patiently and thoroughly pursued the
scientific method in investigating the
causes of crime. insanity, suicide. pow
erty, degradation, ruined homes, indi-
vidual and social misery and national
danger. The result is that they oppose
the prevalent drinking customs, regard
moderate drinking as a danger to the
drinker and temptation to others, and
are effecting revolution in the use Of
alcohol In medical practice.

INCIDENTS OF THE STORM.

After the water had run down at Liberty
Hill drift was found piled up near the
Methodist parsonage which was high
enough for boys to climb from 1T to
the roof of the parsonage.
Squire w. l.. Moore was the hero OF
Liberty Hill, he rescued three ladies from
their submerged homes, dragging them
out with a rope, the end of which he had
thrown them.
The road from Mr.. John St. Clair's, four
miles west of town, on to Liberty Hill, is
completely destroyed. A new road will
have to be made.
Mr.. K. b. Gillespie, who lives at Liberty
Hill, had his blacksmith shop washed
away. 1t contained all his farming imple-
ments.
DR.. T. /. Painters corn crib at Liberty
Hill was carried away by the flood 1t
contained a hundred dollars worth of
corn.
The road through Plum Creek Gap has
been rendered impossible by the flood.
The road will have to be made over before
it can be travelled.
Mrs. Susan Howard, who has been iv-
ing on Plum Creek all her life, and who Is
rs years old, says the creek was four feet
higher this time than she ever saw it.
The bridge over Plum Creek, just east of
Pisgah, was carried away by the flood. A
bridge has been located at that point for
more than half century, and it was never
reached by high water before.
The two bridges near Maiden Spring
were carried away by the food. The fore
bay of the roller mills Of w. A. Barns x
Co. was washed out and the mill was
flooded.
The money order funds, forms, blanks
and stamps, together with the transit mail
from Paint Lick we're swept by the flood
from the postotfice at Cedar Bluff.

which we have heard occurred at Max

Yards when the mill struck and was broken
up. Mr.. Graybeal was thrown in the
water among the mass of debris and float
ed near the bank, where he seized the
limb of a sycamore tree and held on to 1t
until be was rescued by a man named
VIM. Crabtree. Mr. Graybeal's friends
who saw him struggling among the logs
and broken timbers Of the mill had no
idea he would escape with his life, and it is
wonderful that he did.
At Pocahontas, Laurel Greek got on a
boom, but no damage was done, except
the flooding of the saloon in the basement
of Pocahontas Inn.
There WIS no very heavy damage done
in the eastern portion Of the county as
compared with that in the western aud
central portions. Some of the farmers on
the west branch of Clinch River and in
Wright's Valley lost good deal in the
way of fencing, water gaps, and injury to
growing crops.
The water was high at Graham but no
damage was done, so far as we can ascer-
tain, except to the Thistle Plow and
Foundry Co. It's works were flooded and
we are told damage to over $500 inflicted.
In the lower end of Thompson Valley
Brade Catron lived on the farm of Mrs.
Mana Yeung, near what is called "Dry
Rum" When Catron and his family were
sitting down to their breakfast he looked
out of a window and saw an immense vol
ume of water rushing down the branch
toward the house. He Immediately fled
with his family from the house and had
Just reached a place of safety when the
house was swept away. The water raised
at this point twenty-five feet in few min
utes.

ter, about eight or nine years old, was car
ried down half mile and was left on a
log in the middle of the stream. She was
only slightly hurt. Another daughter,
about eighteen years old, was holding Hell
mandolar's child in her arms when the
house was swept away. She clung to the
child and together they were hurled a
short distance down the gorge and thrown
out on the side of the torrent. The girl
clung to the child until her father found
her. She had her foot badly cut, but
the little child was not injured. Van
Dyke had one of his arms badly bruised
and his wife was severely hurt in the side.
Helmandollar and his wife were not In
iured. The two boys were buried on Sum
day afternoon. On Saturday afternoon
Mr.. w. Ii. Anderson began to solicit a
subscription for the relief of the Van
DYKES, and in a short while raised nearly
fifty dollars among our citizens, which he
turned over to the afflicted family. Others
have since been contributing literally to
their relief.

FOUNDING MILL.

Pounding Mill branch, which flows into
Clinch River near Pounding Mill Station,
/ on the Clinch Valley Division, was turned
into raging torrent in few minutes by
the heavy rainfall in the territory 1t drains.
From reports given us by persons who
have been there since the flood, and who
have seen its effects, but an imperfect idea
can be formed of the immense volume OF
water that poured down the narrow valley
through which the ordinarily small branch
runs. The public road which traverses the
little valley has been almost oblterated,
immense drifts of logs, bouders and other
debris have been deposited at many
points, and the fences have all been de-
stroyed.
One of the most painful catastrOphes oi
the flood occurred on Pounding Mill
branch. Mr. John Hoops, who Is section
foreman of the N. & w. on the Pounding
Mill section, lived on the branch. When
the stream began to rise he went up above
his house to tear out drift that was ac-
cumulatng, and which he feared would
bring danger to his home. He left at the
house his wife and two children and
youth, John Tate, about II wears old. The
water came rushing around and about the
house at such fearful rate that it is sup
posed the inmates became frightened and
tried to make their escape. They started
in the direction of high ground, Mrs.
Hoops leading the way. The strong cur
rent had cut deep channel between the
house and the high ground. Into this
ditch Mrs. Hoops and the child she was
carrying suddenly plunged. Young Tate
sprang to Try to rescue the mother and
child and they were all three drowned.
The other child, girl about IA or l6 years
old, was also washed off her feet and
drowned. Mr.. Hoops was in sight OF his
drowning family, but was unable to render
them any assistance.
On Sunday the body of Young Tate and
the girl were found in drift about half a
mile below where they We're drowned.
The body of Mrs. Hoops was found on
Tuesday lodged in tree top in what is
known as the "horseshoe bend" of Cinch
River about a mile and half below
Pounding Mill.
The river at Pounding Mill was higher
than it was ever known. The fences all
along the river were washed away, and
the new foot bridge recently erected by
the county was carried off by the flood.
We have heard of no losses of personal
property at Pounding Mill, except a loss
by n. L. Mcleod. He had a consider
able amount of merchandise stored in
building near the river. That building
was almost covered with water and Mr..
McLeod's goods damaged to the amount
of 81, 900.
