TzU-HsI CIIINAs EMPRESS DowAGER.

III we endeavor, as we naturally do, to find in
TINS record of her life Clew to the heart and
character OF the Empress Dowager, our atten-
tlon is at once arrested by the two salient char
acteristlcs which distinguish her namely her
extraordinary force of will and her love of
power. and we realize that these have made her
what she Is, an opportunist. Our attention is
also inevitably drawn to the fact OF her extreme
uhscrupulousness in attaining her ends and to
her innate cruelty. Nothing comes arniss To her
which can further her ambitions; she stops at
nothing and is afraid of no one This was
proved beyond doubt during the troubles of 1900
II Is evident that she recognized in the pres
ence or foreigners in China an element of dam
ger to herself She therefore determined to he
rid of them. Whether the Boxer movement was
actually originated by her to that end. or
whether, detecting in 1t the seeds of a revolution
against herself and her dynasty she cleyerly
cohtr1ved TO turn its anger against the for
elsner, VIII never be clearly known. All that
seems certain is that she ended by deliberately
encouraging the dastardly attack made by them
In defiance Of all civilized nations. upon enyoys
accredited to the Chinese Court by friendly
powers. When. however, she realized that the
game had FAILED. and that the foreigner could
NOT be wiped out, she began to see the folly of
her policy. and. being equally comfortable on
whenever side OF the fence she sat, provided II
was on the throne. she veered round and sent

while laughing at his pretensions. we weep at
his griefs There can be no doubt that ut the
time Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Ven

BENT1NCKs COSTLY SACRIFICE

Meanwhile he O4ord George Bentincl) had dis
covered that the breeding OF horses was incom-
patible with political career. He was of those
who do nothing by halves, and eighteen hours
devoted to hard work left him little leisure in
the day to attend to his stables He therefore
determined to renounce the sport of racing for
ever, and the episode of his remuneration is the
most dramatic episode in life packed with
drama. 1t was the evening of the third
days racing ut GoodWood in 1916 that Lord
George, appearing half asleep after dinner sud
denly put the question: will any one of you
give me 10000 for all my lot beginning with
old Bay Middleton and ending with little I[itch-
ener?' The question not more startling
than the method OF putting it. And to keen
the drama at a high level George Payne in
stantIy offered to pay forfeit OF 600 if he did
not accept the offer by noon on the following,

SOME OF THE ISSUES.

What issues will be discussed
atJour county campaign meetings?
This question is now being asked
by some of the voters. Among
otherthings, the bstterment of the
common schools, the utilization OF
convict labor-whether on the
state farms or public highways,
goods roads. biennial sessions,
and the Brice bill, which is one
phase of the dispensary question,
will be discussed by those who
aspire to become lawmakers: We
hear that candidates for the senate
the House will be asked to declare
their position upon the Brice bill
as it now stands.
The citizens of Saluda, about
a year ago, petitioned the state
board to remove or close indefinite
ly tie dispensary at that place, as
lit was detrimental to the morals
and best interest of the town and
county. This the board refused te
do, stating that there was no Law
for the removal of dispensary
In order to afford relief t. Sa

bill was introduced at the last ses
sion of ;he legislature providing
for the removal of dispensarI
in the same manner that it wa
Enthusiastically a majority vot
of the citizens of town in whicl
one is located. The bill pass
ed but was so amended as to re
quire a county voting out a dis
pensary to pay tax for the en-
forcement of the law. As it now
standsthe law is manlfestly unjus
and, to laym an, appears to be un
constitutional. Should Saluda v 1t
out the dispensary she would b
required topay tax to enforce tn
law, while Greenwood, a borderiD
county, has no dispensary and
not required to pay tax to eDforc
the law.
Isthis just? Is it right?
