SALUDA
TOO MUCH RAIN--CROPS SUFFER
ING--JUR0RS AND PERSONALS.

Saluda has been visited by very
heavy rains; the farmers say too much.
There is a general complaint and we'll
founded, that cotton is cut short:
some fields look very badly; not by far
as good prospects as was 10 days ago.
High water has done harm to some
corn. Some fodder is being pulled and
cotton is opening right along
We will soon hear the flmiliar sound
Of the gin and see wagons loaded with
cotton bound for town.
Mr.. L. NJ. Crigsby has been on the
sick list for several days but he is i'm
proving.
Miss Wilma Ramey, daughter Of our
townsman, r, l.. Ramey has been
quite sick with something like dyph-
liberia at Cross Hill.
Mrs. "A. Green is quite sick. Mrs.
Green is one Of few, who believes in
the power and will OF God to heal; she
will not have a physician nor will she
take any medicine. She has been Sc
riously sick heretofore and was able to
be about in remarkably, short time,
without aid of medicine.
Mr.. j. E. Griffith, blacksmith liv-
ing just above Saluda. had the misfor-
tune to have his shop burned last Mon
day night; he lost about 5000 worth
Of material; all Of his tools and or s
buggies, that he had made. He is
one of of our best citizens and a very
hard working man. The fire was the
work of an incrediary he thinks, and
he feels sure that he knows who did
the work. Sheriff Sample is on the
! lookout for him.
The new officers, elected at the re-
cent election i'm Saluda, have taken
r their places and we look for judici-
! GUS administration.
b. w. Crouch Esq, has handed oy-
er to Supervisor Padgett the petition,
asking for an election on the Dispen-
! sary question. Something over 600
-ce signed the petition. 1t remains for
ro. Mr. Padgett to order an election.

Shanghai, Aug. 31.--Chang Chen
who has been ordered by the Peking
ministry to commence 10 plan meas
ures to settle the boycott, met the
Chinese chairman of Commerce and
the principal piece goods dealers.
He began by fining certain dealers
1000 taels together for alleged
breaches of the boycott. He then or.
dered alto sign an agreement to buy
no more American goods from foreign
merchants of any nationality.
Regarding goods contracted for be-
fore the boycott was started he stated
his intention of opening an Office and
granting passes and stamping such
goods, thus permitting their sale in
the interior.
He also announced his intention of
opening Offices in thirty-six principal
trade centers in China, where goods
SO stamped will be passed. This will
require an initial sum Of 100000 taels.
which Shanghai dealers must pay,
thus avoiding impending financial
ruin. This means the creation of per-
manent boycotting machinery, avail
able against amy branear Of any for
eign trade In China and the practical
imposition of new taxation against all
treaty tariffs.

Il am satisfied that the great mass
OF Japanese will be disappointed with
the peace settlement. The Japanese
want peace. but they do not want
peace under the conditions named In
the proposed treaty. They will regard
the present settlement as a victory
for Russian diplomacy.
The Japanese will be most disap-
pointed with that provision Of the
proposed settlement which gives to
Russia half of the Sakhalin island
japan won control of the entire island
in the war and now proposes to give
UP half of it without getting cent OF
reimbursement. am satisfied that
Japanese and Russians cannot dwell
peaceably on the island and that an
other war with Russia will result.
japan wants peace. but the peace
should be permanent.
The opinion among the Japanese is
that Baron komura Is not in favor Of
the proposed settlement, but that 1t
was made pursuant to a, request from
the. mikado. who was probably influ-
epced by the elder statesmen. Marquis

The Russians continue to regard the
agreement reached as q wonderful dip.
lomatic victory. The highest Russian
authority, speaking sof what would
have happened 4 peace had not been
made, said:
Consider the military situation
from the Russian standpoint In the
most favorable light. Assume that
the Russian arms would have been
successful. Linevitch victorious might
have forced Oyama back to Liaoyang,
possibly to Haicheng. But with the
Russian fleet destroyed he could never
venture into the Liaotung peninsula.
We could not have recrossed the Yalu
into Korea. We could never have re-
taken Sakhalin. Practically we OBJ
tain in this treaty what we would
have had to buy with victories. Had
defeats come--who knows what else
We shcslld A the. end have been
obliged to yield" 1

independence.
Manila, Aug. 31-The last session
OF the conference with the agltators
for the independence of the Philip
pine islands developed the fact, ac-
cOrding to cOncelsus of opinion
among the congressman present. that
the Fflipinos are altogether unfit for
immediate independence. Apart from
the problems presented in the cfvili-
zation of the Igorrotes, Moros, Maca-
bebes and other tribes 1t would be
cruel, 1t is believed, to the people of
the islands at large to turn them over
to the mercies of theorists and dema-
gogues They then would experience
the worst kind of exploitation
The statements of the speakers at
the meeting were widely divergent,
those of the mercenary faction being
In contrast with the native agitators
The provincial governors, when they
We're heard, emphatically declared
that the whole people of the islands
were unfit for independence for many
years. 1t developed during the ses-
sion that the two principal agitators
had been under sentence for various
crimes.

that, with the exception of official and

In the city at late hour, the an
nouncemehts In the morning papers
came as complete surprise. With
the general public the news was re-

The evening papers follow the lead
Of the morning. newspapers In bestow-
ing tInstihted praise ON President

est credit for the outcome OF the con-
ference. whose decision was entirely
ct variance with their daily predic-
tions since the opening of the nego-
tiations. Both papers and people were
SO astounded at the outcome Of the
conference that they feel that there
= something In the agreement arrived
at which has not yet been published
and that n this Is not the case then
the new AngloJapanese treaty has
affected the result In some way.
Speaking Of Japan's waiver of the
indemnity clause the Globe says:
"It has been an act OF extraordinary
courage and magnanimity On the part
OF the emperor and his council. In
the act, which seems justified by the
results. the emperor OF japan has
