Lionlzes . Chinaman.

VI NhduB CohB, the aoopted son or u Hung Chang, is undoubtedly the most talked of man in London today, perhaps more because of the fame of his father than because of any achieve menI ot his own.
 He Is one of the richest men in the world and although he does not even know himself how much he Is worth. 1t is generally believed that his for tune is not less than $30, 0,000, ,000 and his annual Income over $3. .500, 900.
 He likes London very much although he says he would prefer to live in the United States where he thinks his countrymen need him more and wh ere he could do nore to overcome the gem eral prejudice against them. He has a very vivid recollection ot the States. for he accompanied Ii Hung Chang on his famous tour of the world which in eiuded a trip from New York to San Francisco.
 This is not his first post in London Che Is Chinese Ambassador nowl, Eighteen years ago he served as first secretary to the Chinese legation and kt that time he astounded the cipio- nnatic world by his mastery of English which he had been taught at home by his fathers physician.

I found the old hero who has fought in many battles seated un- der a large carriage umbrella, while close by was a baby carriage packed several umbrellas, provisions, etc.
 T suppose you are an American" he asked me. and added that nearly all the people who came to see him were American tourists, who had come to consider him one of the free sights of London.

NEW WIRELESS TELEPHONE.
Telephone Commune
cation Established.

Radio-wireless telephone commu-
nication between Berlin and Copen-
hagen is now an established fact.
By this "undamped" or continu-
GUS wave system Gas opposed to the
explosions" of the ordinary wire
less system) Waldemar Poulsen, the
Danish inventor, has interchanged
messages between the wirless tele-
phone stations at Weissensee, a sub
urb Of Berlin, and Lyngby, near Co.
penhagen, a distance of $50 miles.
The transmission has left nothing
to be desired in the way of clear
ness and audibility. Preparatory ar
rangements had been made between
Weissensee and Lyngby, the record
er and transmitter were turned alike
and punctually at the signal the first
long distance wireless telephone
message was flashed through the air
from Berlin across North Germany,
and the waters Of the sound. Music,
played in Berlin, was distinctly heard
in Copenhagen. Numbers and a Sc
ries of test words were recorded with
the greatest Of ease.
The operators at Weissensee say
that no technical reason exists why
radio-telephony should not be estab-
lished between Berlin and London.
The only obstacle Is money. The
erection Of stations in the center of
Berlin sufficiently powerful to reach
London would entail enormous ex-
pense. This hindrance, however,. in
the opinion Of electrical experts,
should soon be surmounted, and be-
fore long radio-telephones replace
the present wire system.
The entire apparatus used in the
Berlin-Copenhagen conversations is
simplicity itself. It consists solely
of transmitter, a receiver. the mast,
the antennae (Which protect the
sound waves), and the power plant.
The mast used at Weissensee station
Is a. tall factory chimney near the
power house. The system differs
from spark telephony, in that the
transmitter produces the required
waves by means of a noiseless, con-
tinuous, direct current, replacing by
its continuity of action the danger
Gus high tension developed by spark
telephone systems.
over the open sea-" said DR..
Hechler, the chief of the station at
Weissensee, "radio-telephony with
continuous waves is a comparatively
easy matter up to 800 miles. Seve-
raj vessels are adding the Poulsen
apparatus to their telegraphic install
lations. 1t is peculiarly well adapted
for lighthouse purposes"

BEATEN l,Y NEGROES.
White Man Named Fleming Roughly
Handled by Gang of Negroes.

Spartanburg, Marcvh 3.-Beaten
with rocks and clubs and slashed
with knives by negroes, white man
by the name Of Fleming lies seriously
wounded at his home near Greer, in
GreenVille county. The assault on
Fleming was unprovoked, If reports
from Greer are true.
1T Is said that Fleming was walk
ing along the road to Allpalache Cot
ton Mills, and while en- route to the
mill he met colored woman whom
he knew and he stopped moment to
ak with her. A gang of colored men
happened up at the time and asked
him what he meant talking to the
woman. Fleming replied that 1t was
none of their business, whereupon
the negroes set upon him, beating
him in a most dreadful manner.
They drew knives and literally slash
ed his clothing into threads, 1T is
said. The point of the knife in the
hands of one of the negroes caught
Fleming in the abdomen, and ter
rible wound was inflicted. The as
sault took place on the eenvllle
side Of the line.

COWBOYS NOT EXTINCT.
Room for Plenty of Them Due to
Recent Government Rules.

Despite the predictions about his
passing, with which sentiment writ
ers have been favoring the public of
late years, the western cowboy, SAYS
Leslie's, is not on the verge of eXtinc-
ton. When owners Of large herds
of cattle were permitted to fence vast
areas of pasture land, which they
had leased, the number of COWBOYS
was greatly reduced. Since all the
cattle were within fence and within
easy reach Of the ranch house, there
was no need Of bold horsemen to ride
among the herds and "cut out" cat
tie, for all those herded belonged to
one owner. Now, however, under
the rulings of the department of the
interior, the wire fences must be re-
moved and all ranges will again be
free. Cattle will wander from one
watering place to another and Craze
over different areas, SO that there
will again be need of concerted move
ments among cattlemen for the
"round-ups," in which animals bear
ing their respective owners brands
will be separated. No difficulty is
anticipated in securing men expert
enced in the handling Of cattle, as
we'll as the necessary number of in
experienced youths who desire the
excitement of a wild, open air life
but cattlemen are somewhat con-
cerned as to the outlook for good
cow ponies. Ranchmen and stock
owners have kept only the small sup.
ply needed for themselves, and for a
time it is likely to be hard to find
many horses which have been broken
to the work of, cattle herding.

NO CHANGE IN BIRD LAW
Violators Will BE Dealt With Accord
ing to Law.

Columbia, March Especial:
There seems to be pretty general
impression in the State that some
change has been made in the game
laws. In some instances it is stated
that no birds are now protected, and
l. would be very glad If you would
make 1T known through your col.
umns that there has been no change
made In the bird, game and fish laws
OF this State, except two very minor
amendments concerning the season in
Lexington county and making close
season for the opossum. The Audu-
bon Society will shortly have printed
copies of all of the bird, game and
fish laws for distribution, and we
wish to warn all parties that VIOLA
tions of the laws will be prosecuted
TO the fullest extent. We are obtain
ing convictions every week.

The Farmers Union is after that
class Of farmers who have their
minds made up to do something for
themselves and make the world move
forward.
Wherever the Farmers Union has
taken a good hold in a community
the people are becoming educated
and up-to-date in every, way, which
fact makes it much harder for that
"slick duck" the circulating agent.
to do the farmer up on any old
game.
YOU never had any idea the far

You never could say, "Good Lord,
deliver US out of the hands of some
of our friends" with so much grace
as YOU can now since the recent New
York panic squeezed out the deceit
in these false friends
Prejudice never builds up any
thing; it tears down friendship, CO.

the ruin. Don't allow this demon to
