England's Aristocracy In Public Life
The more prominent one is by birth,
wealth or position the more it is
looked upon as incumbent upon such
one to take an active part in local and
national affairs. The masses have
grown to feel that they can depend
upon the classes TO lead, and to lead
courageously and wisely. Though
England has become perhaps more
democratic in certain ways, it is still
very evident that the Englishman likes
gentleman to lead him. l am told
that in the army this is made unmis-
takably evident 1t is not mere snob-
berry, though there may be a touch of

CHINA BITTER AGAINST JAPAN.


Inflamatory Circulars Issued, Ure.
ing Boycotting OF Latter Country.
Toxic. October 11.-Oopies az cir.
culars. issued in North China by q
body Of Chinese calling themselves
the Popular Association of Three
Eastern Provinces" and spreal broad
cast among Chinese Of the lower
classes. have created something of a
seItation upon their receipt in Japan.
The circulars contain infammatory
statements against the Japenese.
They bear upon what is called the
weakness of poor China and "the in
sulting aggression of Japan"
Assertions are made that Japan
has devasted the arabic lands of
North China. has enslaved laborers
along the line of the Aptung-Mukden
Railroad; that Japanese officials have
beaten the men. insulted the women
and terrorized the people.
The circulars point that the weak
ness of China In military sense
makes 1t impossible for her to resent
this treatment except by a boycot,
and call upon the people of China
generally to refuse all dealings with
the Japanese. All students and per-
sons who value freedom are called
upon to propagate the doctrines of
the association. Failing IN this, they
are threatened with vengeance and
even death.
The document concludes with the
request that Chinese vehicles, vessels
and railroads refuse to carry Japan
ese goods. An endless chain is sought
In the request that patriotic citizens
into whose hands the circular may fall
shall have them reprinted and scat
tered broadcast. until Japan is COM
pletely shut out from all commercial
communication with China.
Efforts are being made to prevent
the spreading of their contents among
Japanese OF the ignorant class, be-
cause Of the danger of arousing feel
Ing at this time. Meanwhile there Is
reason to believe that Japan has
called or will Immediately call the
attention of the Chimes authorities to
the illegality Of the boycott propa-
ganda, demanding that the circulars
be outlawed as illegal documents and
that the Popular Association Of
the Three Eastern Provinces" be dis
ciplined.

RECORD CORN YIELD.
Orangebufg Farmer Raises 10,
Bushels on the Acre.


It looks as if Mr.. John w. Gram
ling, one OF the up-to-date farmers of
the county. who resides in the Mid
dlepen section, will take the cake for
the largest yield of corn on one acre,
says the Orangeburg Sun.
Mr.. Granting has just had the corn
and the field measured by Messrs.
George e. Stroman and Robert S.
Connor and the production on one
acre is 106 2-3 bushels, and 100 BUSH
els to an acre and a half.
The entire field will average a frac-
tioa more than two ears to the stalk.
One stalk grew two suckers" ami
on the main stalk and on each sucker
there were two fine ears. The two
suckers grew to the same height as
the main stalk-and all from one
grain of corn. Another stalk grew
to the height of II feet and had three
ears on it.
Unfortunately Mr.. Gramling did not
get into the County Union corn con-
test or the State contest, but he says
that next year he is going into all Of
them. and believes he can increase
the production over this year, as he
has learned some things from expert
ence.
Just now Mr. Gramlings friends
are wondering if there is any other
farmer in the county who can beat
his record this YEAR

FOREST WORK AT BILTMORE
Investigations on Vanderbilt Estate
Considered Important.

Washington. Oct. lin point of
variety. and scope the forest work
done on the Biltmore estate, TN Nsrth
Carolina, is remarkable. The forests,
which cover 10000 acres, are made
profitable by the production Of vari-
Gus forms of material.
Four million feet of lumber, 5000
cords of tannic-acid wood and fuel.
thousand cords of tan bask, and
several hundred cords Of pulp wood
are cut every year. At the same time,
the forest, through wise management,
is bettered and is steadily Increasing
in value. Workraen employed along
the boundaries of the forest do duty
as fire guards: Thus fire protection
is secured at least throughout ali the
accessible parts of the tract
In connection with all numbering
operations permanent logging roads
are built. These minimize the pres
ent cost of transportation; and will
greatly reduce the cost of marketing
future crops. Thus the extension of
the roads is steadily adding to the in
vestment value of the forest More
over; they serve also as network
of fire lines. Forest planting is prac-
ticed where fire will not threaten it's
success.
The. experimental work in silvacul-
ture, which is done at Biltmere, is
certain to make important additions
to the science and practice of fores--
try.

Docs Great Damage.

Havana, Oct 1.-THE most serious
cyclone since the big blow of October
~, 1906. struck Cuba early this
forning. causing extensive devasta-
'kion through the whole western por-
tion OF the island. In the city of
Havana many minor buildings were
blown down or unroofed: almost all
the trees were uprooted and FIVE per-
sons were killed. one by an electric
wire and the others by falling build
ings. About 2b persons were injured.
The greatest damage was done In
the harbor. where forty or fifty light
ers.- launches and small tugs were
either sunk or blown ashore. At Casa
Blanca great anxiety was felt through

Ward Liner MORO Castle. from New

ami. from Fey West. Both of these
steamer. however. arrived safely at
$50 this afternoon. having kept on

greatest individual loss has been caus-
"a by the destruction OF half the coal
