Some Facts About Japan.

The empire of Japan consists of a
chain of nearly 1000 islands, lying along
the eastern coast of Asia and extending
to 81 degrees to 80 degrees north lati-
tude. 1t is separated from China by the
Formosa Channel, about rs miles wide.
OF the nearly 1000 islands, of which
the empire is composed, only about
500 are. inhabited and of these, five
furnish by far the larger part both Of
the area and population. They are Hin
doc, Shikoku, Kinshiu, Yezo and For
| mosa.
Formosa was acquired by Japan as one
! of the results of the war with China in
1866, and therefore cannot be con-
sidered as in thorough sympathy with
the other part of the empire.
The area of Japan proper is 110,S22
square miles, or nearly twice as large as
the State Of Georgia. The population
exclusive of Formosa, which has about
3,000,O00) was, when last itaken in
1893, 43,l52,908. 1t has now about
forty-six millions of inhabitants.
The army of Japan, including the first
and second reserves, consists OF 420,9S1
men. Japan's navy has 1873 vessels, of
which number twelve are battleships,
eight are armored cruisers, thirty ordi-
nary cruisers and the rest torpedo boats,
gunboats andrdestroyers. These vessels
mount 562 heavy guns and 1,1GS second
ary and machine guns.
The army and navy is under. command
of the emperor Tor mikado), Mutshito.
The emperor is 81 years of age and has
reigned over Japan 37'years.

Burned to Death by Mob.

Little Rock, Ark, February 19.-
Glenco Bays, a negro, hunted down by a
M OBJ, was burned at the stake to- day near
Crossett. He was charged with tho
murder of j. d. Stephens, of Ashley
county. Stephens, who was wealthy
planter, had few words with Bays yes
terday, the negro, later, securing a shot
gun and killing Stephens at close range.
The negro then beat the body with the
butt of the gun and made his escape.
Blood hounds we're brought on special
train from Lake Village. They readily
took the scent and traced the murderer
to his fathers house, where the negro
was found hiding in well. A mob
several hundred strong, surged around
aud dragged forth the murderer, who
made a full confession. With hands and
feet tied he was bound to stake in his
fathers yard. Brush was piled around
him, the torch applied and the man
slowly burned to death.

| A REDEEMING FEATURE.
This General Assembly has GER
tainly broken record, in that it has
passed law that provides for a
ca2itation tax of fifty cents on dogs.
AS long as Citizen Josh Ashley re-
mained in the General Assembly the
"yaller dog" was safe, but now that
he is in private life the "yaller dog"
seems to be getting it, and If this
law Of providing fifty-cent tax
on each and every dog in the State
is enforced, as it ought to he, it
shonld result in great deal of good
in eliminating worthless ours and at
the same time in raising a fund for
educational purposes.
THE STATE HOUSE SCANDAL.
The jar of the session was Incl
dent to the State House work. 1t
seems to be very much of mess
and l will not undertake to GO over
the whole trouble, or to try to justify
or criticise anyone. There have al
ready been columns printed on the
subject. Unfortunately there seems
to be a great deal of feeling about it.
The General Assembly, in the last
days of the session, voted $45,000
with which to complete the building,
and it lie certainly to be hoped that
with this money the building will
really be "completed."
SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
+ The disposition in the House this
year was very favorable to educa-
tion in every way. A bill was passed
providing for system of free libra
ries and it was based upon the
proper theory of helping those who
are willing to help themselves. The
State will give $4,000 this year for
these new rural libraries and each
year $4,000 will be distributed to-
wards that purpose.

1t is very likely that Hon. Josh w.

sary to say that if he does enter the
race he will make things interesting.
The Honea Path Chronicle of last week
says:
"Citizen Josh Ashley is being urged
by his friends in the county to enter the
race for Representative at the next elec-
ton. He has not fully made up his
mind in the matter. We understand
that he will be brought out by his
friends later on for the position of State
Senator. Mr.. Ashley had the honor of
representing this county for several
years in the General Assembly, and his
record is one of which any man should
be proud. He was a faithful public SER
want and did every thing in his power to
serve his constituents, and should he
enter the race in the next election he
will have strong following.

The cheese factories at Brushy Crock
and those just tNacross the line In Pickens

only in all parts Of tho State, but la
Nortk Carolina, and, in fact, ths federal
Government itself is beginning 20 look
into The possibilities OF this infant indus
sry.
Among the first attempts made In an
enterprise OF this sort was at Easley =
year or two ago. This factory. however,
did not prove success, and after being
operated . short timeit was abandoned
and the siandimachinery.. sold.
In q short time two others sprung up in
Pickens county, ssseveral miles from
Easley, 'and,thesc have been in. successful
operation for year or moro. The fac
tory at Brushy Creek is also furnishing
cheese for the market
The product of the local factories Is
said IL. compare fayorably in every way
with the output of the large factoriesi of
the North and West. Already local gro
GERS are furnishing their customers with
homemade cheese, sand the demand is
said to be increasing rapidly, and bids
fair to put all other middling grade
cheese out of the market.
Such enterprises as these should be
fostered and given the support of the
community in which they are located.
Greenville alone should furnish
splendid market for the consumption of
the greater part of the output of any fac
tories in this and adjoining counties, and
there is noreason why cheese should not
be shipped from here to other and m ore
distant points.
o. j. Ellison. who is interested in the
factory at Drlfshy Greek, was in the city
yesterday exhibiting specimens of the
product of that plant. Those who saw
and tasted 1t said that the cheese was of
the best and purest quality, aud in no
way inferior to the imported article.
Mr.. Ellison is enthusiastic over the
success of the enterprise, and says that
he feels sure that the small factories
scattered about this section of the Peid-
mont are but the beginning of great
and new industry which is bound to grow.
The benefits to be derived from small
factory in community can scarcely be
over estimated. Farmers are given
market for milk, which otherwise would
be useless, and the raising of thorough
bred cattle for milking purposes would
be greatly increased. Besides, money
will be brought into the community and
employment given to many.-Greenvill
