COLLEGE PLACE, SPARTANBURG. Feb
raury 12.-The Wofford students had
the privilege Of hearing one OF the
leading Democrats OF the country last
Tuesday night, when the Hon. David
A De Almond OF Missouri, a represen-
tative In congress, and one Of the mi
nority party leaders In that body, deliv-
cred his famous lecture on Victory
and Defeat" In the college auditorium.
The large crowd present had come ex-
pecting something fine and they were
not disappointed In the least, for the
lecture was pronounced by everyone
as being a magnificent one. After
prayers Wednesday morning, Mr.. De
Almond, In a short talk to the boys
gave them some good advice, urging
them to select Immediately and begin
preparation for their life work.
The students Of Wofford college
have been very badly split up" on the
question Of getting out an Annual and
the prospects at present are that there
will either be no Annual issued at all
or else there will be two; one by the
fraternities, the other by the non-fra-
ternities. Several months ago the
three literary societies took up the
question Of Issuing an Annual. A
committee was appointed to consider
the advisability of the matter. This
committee reported that 1t was an i'm
possibility to get out one. Then, af-
ter a few days meditation, the fight
as it were-began. The non-frats,
after having been-as they claim
treated badly, declared that they would
not be turnover" any longer. And
thus the story runs. The condition on
the campus has not been the best for
some time on account of the existence
Of these Greek letter fraternities and
1t is hoped and believed that the board
of trustees will abolish them at their
annual meeting In June. The passing
Of the fraternities will mean the pass
ing Of strained relations on the campus.
The baseball team at this place has
secured as its coach Mr.. Joseph F.
Richert Of the Atlanta team. Mr..
Richert has arrived and has taken.
charge OF the squad. He Is confident
Of putting out a fine team this year.
The Wofford basketball team, last
Saturday night, defeated the Wake
Forest team by score Of Is to Is.
Rev. Walter I. Herbert Of Columbia
has been conducting a series Of SER
vices here this week under the aus
pices Of the Y. M. c. A., and as a re-
suit much good has been accomplished
in the raising Of the moral plane on
the campus.
Mr.. Ernest McFadden of Rock Hill,
on account Of Ill health, has decided to
withdraw from college.
York county, as usual, Is we'll rep
resented at Wofford this year. The
boys from that county stand we'll in
their classes and are worthy represen-
tatives Of a noble county.

DURING the past few days there
has been some talk of an extra session
of the general assembly, the same be-
ing necessary because Of the time
that has been wasted in more or less
useless discussions. The members can
draw pay for only forty days of regular
session; but if the governor shall call
an extra session to convene immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the
present special session per diem will go
on all the same.

OUR SPECIAL TERM.-An extra term
Of court was held in York county few
days ago and only one case was
tried and that was an unimportant
civil action. A number Of lawyers sent
up strong petition asking that the
extra term be allowed, setting up the
claim that numerous cases on the
docket would suffer If they had to re-
main u~til the next regular session.
When the request was complied with
only one case was called, lawyers In
the other cases on the docket saying
that they were not ready to go to trial.
IT is a pity to so abuse a privilege.
There are times when an extra term
Of court should be called to relieve
congestion and other conditions. but
this should always be the last resort.
The special session in York was a
needless expense and bad precedent
to establish.-Greenville News.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY IL. 1906.

ALTHOUGH there has been nothing
on the subject from administration
circles, judging from the dispatches
that are coming from the Far East
there is reason, to believe that war
with China is an easy probability of
the near future. The Chinese are be-
coming particularly troublesome to
American missionaries and merchants,
and the situation is very near to the
breaking point.

AS the result of the caucus of the
Democratic senators against the rati-
fication Of the Dominican treaty and
the debate which followed on the reso-
luton of Senator Patterson Of Color
ado, declaring caucus control Of such
matters to be subversive of the con-
stitution, it now looks as If at least
two Of the four Democratic senators
who were threatening to vote for the
treaty have been whipped back into
line In debate on the Patterson reso-
luton, Senator Patterson was literally
rfddled by Senator Bailey of Texas
the Lone Star statesman making per-
fectly clear the absurdity Of the con-
tention of the recalcitrant Democrat
from Colorado. 1t is now pretty GER
tain that Senator Clarke of Arkansas,
has been whipped back into line and
no fears are entertained except as to
Patterson and McEnery of Louisiana
The outlook now is that the treaty
cannot be ratified. AS a development
Of the caucus incident, and the consti-
tutional debate growing out Of It,
there is a feeling among the politi-
clans that Senator Bailey has perma-
nently established his status as leader
of the Democrats in the senate.

SENATOR Tillman is before the dis
pensary investigating committee to-
day. On learning that he would be
summoned to appear before the COM
mittee next Friday. he decided to go
at once, giving his reason that the
rate bill comes to a vote on Friday
and it is necessary to be in his place
in the senate on that day. He left
Washington for Columbia last night
and the understanding is that he
will be before the committee today.

THERE have been lots Of people to go
north from this section to better their
condition and not a few Of them
have succeeded; but 1t Is probably a
fact that it would be difficult to name
two other men of this class who while
benefitting themselves have done more
for the section from which they hailed
than DR.. Gill Wylie and Gen. VIM. A,
Barber, both of Chester. DR.. Wylie
began by putting his own money into
the development Of the water power of
Catawba river, and since he started all
told he has brought south some four
or five millions of northern money
with other millions to follow. Gen.
Barber worked along different lines,
but the benefits that have been confer
red by him are hardly less consider
able He undertook the rehabilitation
of the c. & NV. railway at very de-
cided personal risk, and since he be-
came connected with the property has
attracted to 1t something like two
millions Of dollars of other capital.
The c. & NV is now fairly on its
feet, very we'll able to take care Of it
self and shrewdly watching its oppor-
tunity to get a satisfactory terminal
in Tennessee. Both Gen. Barber and
DR.. Wylie are entitled to the great
itude and support of the people Of this
whole section.

In MANcHURfA.
Good Country, but Not Flowing With
Milk and Honey.

From the Journal of the American
Asiatic Association.
AS general proposition it may be
said that the Chinese business men
will, under existing conditions, con-
tinue to transact the bulk of the bus
mess OF Manchurio, assuming that
they are allowed free hand. For
eigners may bring capital or goods in
unlimited quantities, but the Chinese
will conduct the details of barter and
trade with the consumer. Foreigners
may cooperate or divide profits with
them; they may operate through
them, but for the present, and with
no prospects of material change In
the near future, the Chinese business
men of Manchuria VIII continue to do
the business. AS the Japanese poula-
ton increases the scope of the Japa-
nese business man will, Of course, be
enlarged.
With an estimated population of TO-
600, 900 to 10000, 900 in Manchuria, and
with large areas OF fertile lands yet
to be taken up by Chinese from the
overcrowded provinces of the vast
Celestial Empire; with one man re-
CURED to til an average of five acres,
and growing demand for foreign
manufactured necessities, the Man
churian market promises to increase
steadily in Importance.
Judging from inquiries some Amer
leans imagine Manchuria to be a land
fabulously rich in gold, fine furs and

silks of rare beauty, a land OF I'M
known wealth now for the first time
to be opened to the outsie world as
the result of the late war between
Japan and Russia. Manchuria Is a
good farming country, to China proper
a sort of American out west" and
equally fertile in It's extensive agficul-
tural areas as the garden state OF
Iowa; supporting millions of Chinese,
who have come from the overcrowded
adjoining provinces. There are num-
erous good and some superbly beauti-
full furs, but prices now range high.
The Manchurla or Corean tiger skin Is
probably the finest in the world. Such
skins are scarce and cost small for
tune, however Ten or twenty years
ago a beautiful tiger skin might have
been had for S25 or $50 gold, or even
less Now they cost Ave or six times
that amount at Mukden, the fur center
of this part of theworld Red and sill
yerfox skins are also costly. A fur re
sembling sealsiSin sells for about so
per cent of the cost OF real seal.
Gold mining has been carried on In
small way for many yeers in Man
churla. Scientific prospecting and ex-
animation by experts, however, will
develop what of real or extensive value
the district possesses, not only in gold,
but in other metals, including copper.
In coal there are a number OF good
properties already sufficiently develop
ed to establish their claim to perma-
nent workable Value.
Silks are freely imported into Man
churia Raw silk, the product of the
wild silk worm industry of thrifty
peasants, is exported.

provoked by this rnmmage III White Goods.
It was sweet to sell the tremendous quantities
of White Goods that we sold since the
early spring but it is bitter to have these odd
pieces left. 1t was like the silver lining"

sound more like figures.
Now add to that the car fare which was
