Serious Situation Reported IN Shang'
bal Among Chinese.
ARE KILLING MANY FOREIGNERS.
Shanghai Has Been Placed Under
Martial Control and Volunteers
Called out--Amerlcan Warsh'ps
Sent to the Scene.

Washington, Dec. ~. - inc state
department has news from Shanghai
that q serious situation exists there.
Two cablegrams received at the de-
partment over night state that the
trouble arose through a strike and IN
creased by dispute growing out OF
some cases being tried before the con-
sular courts. Two foreigners have
been killed and many were wounded.
Navy forces, supposedly from the
British. squadron which Is there
guarding. No Americans have thus
far been injured, but the Official state
ment was made that the situation Is
regarded as serious. Two American
cruisers are now on their way to
Shanghai.
The state departments information
of these events was contained in sew
eral dispatches from Shanghai the
| last of which was received at .
| o'clock from Consul General Rodgers.
| It is gathered that the moving causes
for the riot were the anti-American
boycott and a general feeling Oh nos
| tility toward foreigners such as pre-
| coded the boxer uprising OF 1900. Mr..
Rodgers statement was that all bust
ness was suspended among the Chin
ese; that as an incident to the general
strike number Of foreigners had
been assaulted.
Volunteers have been called out,
presumably from the people in the
foreign settlements whose efforts at
maintaining order we're seconded by
| English marines. The warsh!2s in
the harbor were cleared for action
, AT the hour of sending the first dis
patch, probably some time recently
two Chinese had been killed In Inc
riots and the American consul gen
eral had telegraphed for help IRON
naval vessels.
/ A later dispatch reported the con
tinuance of the riotous condition, ada
ing that the police stations had beer
burned and a number Of people XIII
ed. probably about thirty, including
some of the foreigners. No Amer
cans. however, had been harmed VI
to that moment and the streets wer
: being guarded by the volunteers AM
the naval forces. Mr.. Rodgers las
word was that he expected the Amer
can cruiser Baltimore, which was mel
at Chinkang, about days run fror
Shanghai, to reach the latter plac
soon.
: A later dispatch received from Mi
i Rodgers was to the effect that a
+ parts of the city of Shanghai had bee
nut under martial law and that tn
foreigners were all arming.

Insurance Question Brings Argument
Before Congress.
REGULATE II BY TAXATION
Senator Cochran Maintained That the
Power Of Taxation Was a leg'''-
mate Weapon for the Control OF
Privileges Of comnercs.

washington, Dec. 20.-Whether the
senate is warranted in ignoring SEN
afor convicted in the courts OF mis-
conduct and in not assigning him 10
places on standing committees, YET
leaving his name on the senate roll
was discussed for two hours by the
senate and then dropped without a
ruling on the question. Several SEN
ate leaders took up the subject. on
account Of the delicacy of the ques-
tion the debate naturally was not as
omen as would be necessary for final
determination of the matter. MT.
Bailey raised the point by inquirlng
of Mr.. Hale, when the latter present
ed the new list of standing commit
tees. whether every senator had been
provided with a place. Mr.. Hale re-
sponded that every senator except Mr..
Burton of Kausasl had been given as
Arguments. and that he had been left
off the committees at his own re-
quest until the charges against him
had been disposed of by the courts.
Mr.. Bailey protested against any
senators name being kept on the
roll unless he was given work to &c
and argued that 1t is the duty OF the
senate, to itself, to Kansas and to the
country to investigate the charges
against MIR. Burton and determine
whether he is entitled to seat in the
senate.
In response several senators callet
attention to the fact that congress Il
following the precedent of the English
parliament.
Mr.. Teller defended the late Sena
tor Mitchell, saying that it would taxi
more than the word of "a self con
yicted thief, perjurer and forger" t
convince him that Mr.. Mitchell hal
committed a crime.
Mr.. Spooner said that Senator Bul
ton had all the rights of senate
and was entitled to places on CON
imittees and that he had relieved
situation of great embarrassment b
asking to be left off the committees
He thought that Mr. Burton had &C
ed very properly in absenting himse
from the senate under the circun
stances.
Mr.. Spooner said Mr.. Fulton wa
advised by senators not to announc
the death of Senator Mitchell as ther
would be opposition to resolutions ft
'eulogies.
Mr.. Bailey said he was one OF tn
senators who so advised the Orego
senator

A Warning to Mothers,

Too much care cannot be used
with small children during the
hot weather of the summer months
to guard against bowel troubles.
AS rule it is only necessary 10
give the child a dose of castor oil
to correct any disorder Of the
bowels. Do Lot use any substitute
but give the old-fashioned castor
oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has a
tendency to grippe. If this does not
check the bowels give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoen Remedy and then dose of
castor oil. and the disease may be
checked in it's incipiency and all
danger avoided. The castor oil
and this remedy should be pro-
cured at once aud kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first in
dication of any bowel trouble ap-
pears. This is the most successful
treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit conf
dence even IN cases Of cholera in
fantum. For sale by All Druggists.

ded who was their clerk. The law
does not give them two. Mr. J A
Lott drew salary for the month and
also did Mr. r E Morgan, the new
ly elected clerk.
We also call attention to the fact
that Mr. G T Duncan, constable, for
Magistrate Clark has drawn for
two quarters more salary than he
was entitled to receive, amount
overdrawn $l2 so, the same is true
of Mr. Perry Brown, constable for
Magistrate RI Boddie. This seems
to be case 0f misconstructi0n of
the law by these constables. The
County Commissioners are bound
to see that these amounts are re-
funded.
We find claim approved and paid
in 1904 to w w Miller constable
for Magistrate I E Miller paying
said w W Miller for time, per diem
for going to Aiken for Prisoner un-
der arrest there. A claim of the
same kind has been approved and
paid to w w Miller, constable for
+ E Miller, for geing to Augusta
for prisoner who had been arrested
by the police. One of these claims
amounted to $1798 and the other
amounted to $2O.12. We note that
one of these claims had been mark
ed dlsapproved by the attorney for
the county. 1t was paid over THIS
flisa pproval. So much of these
claims as is not covered by actual
expenses of this Magistrate in get
ting these prisoners should be re-
funded to the county, even If the
County Commissioners have &c
pay it.
In the matter of printing notices
and publishing other matter for the
county, we recommend that more
economy be used. We call atten'
ton to the fact that $3l7 90 was
paid to our local papers for county
printing. SO far as We could learn
from the claims, this amount was
for printing notices and reports for
county officers. It would be better

notices at a stipulated annual. For
the present year up to this date,
claims have been approved for thl'
purpose amounting to $l72: 90. !.

"a Voice From Abbeville.


Tie following from the editor of
the Abbeville Press and Banner,
whosis an ardent admirer of sena-
tor Gilman and supporter of the
dispensary, may not be amiss at
this juncture;
"We have read the speech OF
Senator Tillman at Edgefeld, as
reported in therdaily papers.
"What The Senator says of drink :
ing 3iquor looks to US too much
like: he was drumming for. the
dispensary. We are sorry that
thaSenator should.nave made any
speech or any utteranoe that would
encourage our people to drink
liquor.
s'Because of the danger of be.
coming q slave to it, some cf ue
are afraid to drink liquor. The
habit of drinking liquor is injuri:
ousSito health and character, and
it ia:a bar to mans promotion
in Che business world. The liquor
habit is indeed the greatest enemy
that ne have, and no man should
hes encouraged to enter upon q
dangerous course from which
nothing but evil is to be had.
.ssSenator Tilllnan boasts that he
rs a great strong man can uss il
as he pleases and still maintain
the mastery over himself. He il
in fact q temperance man, but he
tells the "boys" that there is moth
yin the Bible which forbldt
their drinking"
AWe are shocked that he should
make any speech that would set 9
lo9iar standard for others than he
setaup for himself. Being sobel
himse1f, why should be encourage
others to the drink habit"
s..How a man like Senator Till
man: can make such speeches a
would have a tendency to debaucE
his people is more than we Cal
understand"

Many Irregularities were found
| in the matter of claims in the office
of Supervisor and County Commis-
sioners. We must first call atteD-
tion to the form of claims apr.oN-
ed. We found many claims ap-
proved and paid without any pro-
bate as required. Claims were also
found approved and paid without
stating for what matters or proper
ty the claim was made. ln each
Of these claims we called in the Su-
pervisor and he was able to tell US
what manner of claim it was.
Goods were bought and claims for
same were paid without having on
file an itemized statement of the
goods. These are such omissions
az we feel it our duty to. criticize,
since if continued they might lead
TO greater Irregularities. We COM
mend that hereafter no claim be
paid unless the services for which
claim is made, or the goods or
nronertv for which the claim is
made be itemized so that any enc
investigating, the Office could un-
derstand the nature Of the claim.
We call attention to the fact that
one Of the County Commissioners,
Mr. r G Grifs, has already drawn
the whole amount Of hisssalary,
$4,000 for the year 1905. While
there Is nothing wrong in an officer
drawing his salary, still we think
Lit very bad precedent for him to
set of drawing the whole years
salary when only Z months of the
year have passed. There might be
some excuse under the law for the
| salary for this particular individu-
al being drawn before the year
ends, provided he had made state
ment under oath that the full num-
Der of days which at $3 90 per
diem would amount to $125.0O and
| the number of miles travelled at 5
cents per mile would amount to
$500 had been served and travel
ed in the duties of his office. No
such facts appear in his claims.
Why not borrow the money and
pay.tho salaries of all the county
officials big and little in advance.
We recommend this precedent as
bad, more especially as it is the
salary of one of tbs officers whose
duty might be that of approving d
claim for advance pay for any coun-
ty officer.
For the month of January, 1905,
we find claims approved for salary
for G. M Williams as Treasurer, and
also claim for salary for same Of
ice for DR. j T Pattison. DR. Patti
son has commission dating from
January 4th, 1905, and assumed
duties Of the Office January 9th.
The County Commissioners should
have decided which ofthese gente'
men under the law was entitled to
the salary, paid neither OF them
until the fact was decided.
The same thing was done as to
salary of Clerk of the County Com
missioneEs. Two clerks drew the
salary for the month. The County
Commissioners should have deci-
