Jottings from Jocassee.

Jocassee, July 22.-Rev. w. Walker, of
Spartanburg, began series Of meeting
here at Mt. Carmel church Sunday. We
feel that much good shall result from
this revival, as Rev. Walker comes with
the recommendation as an able preacher
and doubtless will draw large and atten-
tive congregations.
The schools at this place opened the
10Th and 22d instant, the MoKinney's
Creek school under the management Of
Miss Earle Kelley. of New Hope, and
the Jocassee school under the manage.
ment of Miss Annie Freeman, of Green
vile. We feel that these teachers shall
do successful work in the school loom.
This Is the third year that we have had
Miss Kelley's service as teacher and we
congratulate the trustees on securing
her service again this year. Miss Free
man will be remembered as o teacher
here five years ago. We are glad to well
come her to our midst again.

LO, the Rich Indian.

In round numbers, there are 1884,.
600 Indians in the United States at
the present time, $1,000 of whom are
in Indian Territory and $4,000 in
Oklahoma, or 100000 in the coming
State. Those of Indian Territory,
the five civilized tribes-Cherokees,
Greeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and
Seminoles--have been managing
their own affairs for two-thirds of a
century, and are in all respects fitted
for the citizenship which they are
soon to exercise. All of these, and
nearly all of those in the Oklahoma
end of the coming State, wear oivi.
lized dress, and have schools and
churches and other accomplishments
of civilization.
Of the 10000 Indians outside of
Indian Territory, 10000 wear civi.
lized dress, 10000 speak the Ian.
guage, and $4,000 are members of
regularly established churches. They
have $35,000,000 in the United
States Treasury, on which they get
I,725,OOO interest every year, and
under treaties the government pays
them annually S750,0OO more. The
per capita wealth among the Indians
is much greater than the $1,4OO

Gen. Grant as a Laundryman.

1t is not always safe to play a
practical joke unless you are thor
oughly acquainted with your victim.
1t is sometimes sadly true that "the
bitter is bitten"
We were gathered around bright
fire in oozy sitting room. The
colonel, to our great delight, had
gone back twenty-four years to his
tent at the base of Kenesaw noun
tain, and was again, as in those past
eventful years, following the banner
OF Sherman. Suddenly an odd
thought flashed into the writer's
mind and found expression in a
question ::
"Colonel," / said, 81 have read
and heard great deal about army
life; but on one point was never
much enlightened. How was the
washing done? Who did it for the
soldiers ?" A smile stole around the
corners of the colonel's rather stern
mouth, bis black eyes twinkled.
casually the soldiers did it for
themselves, but remember one case
where Gen. Grant did some washing
for soldier" Everybody looked
up in surprise. Much as we had
heard of Gen. Grants old army
blouse and democratic ways among
his men, this idea of his washing for
private was very novel. There
was a chorus of questions and ex.
clamations. r, 81

said the colonel, ''it is really true,

several soldiers were talking to-

raw recruit stepped up to them with
bundle of soiled clothes in his hand.
do you know whore I can get this
washing done p he asked.
"Two of the group were practical
jokers; bright thought flashed into
their heads and, as the sequel shows,
unfortunately found expression. 'Oh,

your bundle,' pointing to the head

your bundle to him.

walked off in the direction indicated.
He gained entranceeto the headquar-

ence. 'What can do for you p
said Gen. Grant. s'I was directed
here by couple of soldiers. They
told me that you did washing, and
have bundle here.'
"Gcn. Grant probably enjoyed the
situation, but his imperturbable face
did not relax. He simply asked the
question. Gould you identify those
men again ?" 'Yes, SIR 'Very well,

About Cheap Wit.

hDOuG' OLehp VIII .g.
Many good resolutions in farm
ers' meetings have been lost by the
interjection of little cheap wit just
simply for a laugh. We have known
men who, at timea, in order to get
up good laugh, have sprung good
joke that defeated a good move
they were at heart in favor of. Such
gleeful characters will quit q very
important business meeting at almost
any stage of its deliberations, and go
outside to see "yellow dog fight"
Some people you have seen have a
kind of propensity for trying to fool
people by blowing about something
they are going to do. But later on
they learn that they have fooled no
one but themselves.
People are not 80 interested in
what folks are going to do as they
are about the things you have al
ready done.

If Japan cannot find some FURTHER prctcxt between
now and the sailing of the fleet it is not unlikely that she will
cause the so called yellow press of Japan to inhame the people Of ia
hold the further progress of the fleet and if necessary PRETEND
WITH REGRET THAT SHE HAS TO URGE AND INSIST
THAT WE DO NOT SEND THE FLEET FURTHER. All in
all we are at a very CRITICAL JUNCTURE in our country's for
egn relations, and at a period when the Panama canal is not complete,
which will be our dangerous period, the period that will be sought by
Japan, backed by the powers, to bring on a war.
DURING THIS PERIOD, BECAUSE OF OUR UTTERLY MADE

BE EXCEEDINGLY CALM AND CONSERVATIVE, BUT TO ACCEPT
ANY FORM OF HUMILIATION THAT MAY COME. WE HAVE NEG.

The official announcement that the empress dowager of China will
abdcate next February, on the Chinese New Year, brings to the front
the whole question of the fate of that great empire. American diplo.
macy inaugurated under Secretary Hay and continued under Root
secured the adoption, WILLINGLY OR UNWILLINGLY, by the
powers of the "open door policy for China. Since japanese ascend
ency in the far east a plan has been on foot to overturn this just policy
and to substitute for it the DANGEROUS "SPIIERE OF INFLU-
ENCE" POLICY.
Japan, along with the military powers of Europe, has mEsvnnss
lest, with a fair chance and no favor, America might secure the lions
share of the COMING GREAT COMMERCE OF CHINA, and
Japan has organized a movement by which America is to be left ous
and China is to be %subdivided into spheres of influence. Upon this
basis Japan has negotiated special new treaties with the European
powers by which treaties the limitations Of the various spheres Of iniu-
ence have been defined.
