"a pUTIFUL SON.
Story About Him Comes From the Ode
Side Of the World.

One of the finest traits in the char.
acter of Chinaman, be he OF high or
low estate, is his unbounded reverence
for his parents, his complete submis-
sion to parental rule, writes corre-
spondent Of the Penang tStraits Settle
menO Bulletin. From earliest child
hood he is taught to repose implicit
confidence in his parents and TO render
cheerful obedience to their orders, ana
even anticipate their wishes.
Tile alteration Of really dutiful son
for his parents is practically limitless
and the degree Of respect for them ts
often so marked that it appears 70 'he
uninitiated to be reverence berder'ng
on awe. There are no limits TO the
length of pilgrimages which gooa
son will undertake in the performance
of such acts rs he knows or believes
will give pleasure to his parents-wbat
he knows to be his duty-aEd during
the last few days very striking IN
stance Of this came to our notice. we
refer to Linn Paik Kew, very busy,

number of relatives and friends were
entertained at dinner by the son. at "
King street. who responded to the toast
of his mothers health in very neat
speech. teeming with felicitous allu-
sion to the venerable lady 10 whose
careful training and good care l'e at
tributes so much of his success in hfe.
For the amusement Of the poor and to
enable them to share in the celebration
there was a performance OF Ninese

New Public Building,

Anderson, Specially reason OF the
increasing business of the Anderson
postoffice it is probable that a govern
ment building will be asked for. The
matter is now being considered anu
will be brought to the attention OF
Senator's Tillman and Latimer and
CONGRESSMAN Aiken. The present
building, which was amply large for
the needs Of the office year or two
ago, is beginning to be crowded, and
already the necessity for more room IS
being felt. 1t cannot be Used a great
while longer unless it can be enlarged,
and it is thought that within yeai or
more the business of the office will
have attained such volume, and the
city of Anderson will have developed
to such an extent, that government
building will have to come.

Dispensary HatterS.

Columbia, Special.-Chairman l.. j.
Williams, of the State board OF dis
pensary directors, has been sent copy
of Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Yerkers' decision on the seizure of con-
traband liquors by the revenue onl-
GERS. The case has been before the COM
missioner for some time, and is the re-
suit of seizure of whiskey, that had
been taken by the dispensary. consta>
bles. by the revenue officers. The ques-
tion only arose on packages OF less
than five gallons, upon which no rev.
enue stamp is placed, and consequently
there was no way Of aScertainlnS
whether or not the Government tax
was paid. Considerable whiskey was
taken in this way by the Government
one seizure alone amounting to ABOUT
1900 gallons. At the conference helo
some time ago between Governor hey
ward. Attorney Gunter, Collector OF
Revenue Micah Jenkins and Chairman
/. ]. Williams it was decided to lay
the matter before Commissioner Yer
kes ard Chairman Williams proceeded
to Washington, where the case was
laid before Mr.. Yerkes. The decision is
perhaps. the first rendered OF its kina'
as there has probably never been a
similar question before the department
and it was to the effect that revenue
Officers should only seize packages OF
this kind where there Is evidence OF
fraud upon the face. In cases OF this
KIND the burden of proof rests upon
the shipper to prove that the tax has
been paid. Where there is no evidence
that the whiskey shipped was sent with
irtent to deceive anyone as to the ma
.ure of the contents Of the package. the
revenue officers will not disturb 1t. II
is not known yet what will be done
with the whiskey seized before this oe-
cision and now in POSSESSION OF the
revenue department.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS
The Cotton Picking Season Now On
Gathering Crops.

The week ending a. m, Monday,
September 14th, had mean tempera-
ture of II degrees, which is about l de-
gree above normal The temperature
conditions were favorable, although
cool nights are complained Of in some
localities. The sunshine was normal, or
above, and the relative humidity low
during the daytime and moderately
high at nights. The winds were light
easterly.
The extreme western border counties
and the coast counties had light but
quite general rains, that were highly
beneficial: the interior Of the State had
none, except that widely separated
places had light but insufficient show
ers. The average for the State was only
OIL of an inch. All crops are suffering
for rain.
Late corn failed rapidly on all but
moist bottom lands, owing to drought,
and will be failure on light soils.
With only one or two exceptions to
the contrary, reports on cotton indi-
cate further deterioration during the
week due to shedding, premature open
ing and the rapid spread of rust, owing
to lack of moisture. Much cotton is
dead on sandy lands. There is little
prospect of top crop. Boil worms and
caterpillars are reported from Barn
we'll county. Cotton Is opening rapidly
some prematurely. over the whole
State and picking is general, and under
the favorable weather for the work
made rapid progress. Sea-lsland cotton
is less promising owing to shedding
and the appearance Of blight.
The weather was favorable for rice
harvesting, that progressed rapidly,
but yields are somewhat disappointing
Large quantities OF fodder, pea-vlne
hay and other forage were saved in fine
condition. All minor crops have failed
for want OF rain, but the dry weather
will add to the keeping qualities OF
sweet potatoes. Fall truck planting
continues. Little plowing has been done
as the ground is too dry and hsru'
Turnip sowing is not yet finished.

Cyclone at Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, N. j., special.-The
storm which struck the New Jersey
coast early Wednesday morning was
one OF the severest experienced for a
long time. The wind blew with hur-
ricane force and while it lasted kept
ND speed of 70 miles an hour. Ihe
storm was terrifying to a degree, but
the damage was not as great as was
at first believed. A conservative guess
olaces the entire damage at $4,000 or
$50, 900. The telegraph and telephone
lines leading out OF the city are down
and the fact that the city was cut on
from connection with the outside
world started wild rumors that the
great resort had been entirely swept
away
