and we now have such avenues as oNama
and Nogi. The Russians signs over the
stores have disappeared, and japanese
signs have taken their places. Indeed.
about the only remains of the Russians
are a lot of broken-down droSchkies aud
antiquated dirt carts; these have fallen
into the hands of the Chinese and are
now TO be seen among the Jinriklshas on
every highway.
The Japanese have established schools
In Dalny and Port Arthur and they have
also schools in Mukden. They are chiefly
for Japanese children, and, so far as ]
can see, Japan is not attempting to push
the western civilization into this country
as into Korea. The japanese who have
come here are much the same as those
who are flooding Korea. They come
from the scum of the Japanese cities,
and are a much rougher element than
the soldiers of the japanese army.
So far as / can learn, the attempted
japanese colonization of Manchuria has
been failure. Mr.. Okabe. the japanese
consul ut Mukden, tells me his people
are fast going back home and that they
do not find Manchuria suited to them.
Said he:
There are now only about 10000 Jap
anese in the country-I mean outside of
our military forces. The most of them
are at Dalny and Port Arthur, although
there are small settlements in the towns
along the railroad, and we have about
1900 here in Mukden. Manchuria be
longs to the Chinese, and in its southern
part the good lands are all owned and
are under cultivation. Besides, the Chi
nese methods of farming are different
from ours and the climate is colder. The
most of our people who came here hoping
TO make their fortunes out of nothing
have gone back, and the remainder is
largely made up of shopkeepers with
small capital who belong TO the lower
classes of our country. These people
find that the Chinese are good business
men and that the Chinese stores are sup
plying the demands OF the market. As Il
result they get but little Of the native
trade. The army and themselves are
about their only customers, and a re-
suit their business Is small"
What Mr.. Okabe says Is undoubtedly
true. The Japanese stores are near the
camps and about the railway stations.
There are but few of them in the Manchu
cities, and those at Mukden are a mile
or SO from the centers of the Chinese
population. They have built their stores
Japanese fashion, and they look cold and
mean in comparison with the substantial
one-story brick buildings of the Chinese.
The business conditions here are far diff
ferent from those of Korea, where the
people are simple and the Japanese are
managing everything.

stance OF this was as to the electric
lighting Of Mukden. The railway station
is four miles from the city and the city
itself has its electric light plant erected
by the capital of the Manchurian Chinese.
The japanese railway company has an
electric plant at the depot, and, accord
ing to its agreement. II cannot extend It's
wires beyond it's own concession nor sup
ply the current To the general public.
Nevertheless the Japanese recently be-
gan to erect poles all the way to Mukden
1t was pushing its wires right into the
town when the Chinese objected. Alter
a great deal Of discussion the work was
stopped, but the Japanese insisted that
the Chinese pay them something IKE
S1O0O00 for what they had done or for
erecting less than three miles of poles.
The Chinese had to submit.
During the military occupation of Muk-
den a large number of Japanese swarmed
into the city and took possession OF any
houses they found vacant, and in some
cases they drove out the Chinese tenants
Some agreed TO pay rent, and at the close
of the occupation of the city refused to
do so and would not get out. Many
forced the owners to pay them to move
and among others the German consul
had to pay $500 TO get the occupants OF
a Lama temple to Vacate In order that
the building might be used for the con-
sulate Some such properties are still
held by the Japanese, who refuse to pay
either rent or taxes. and. SO lar. the
owners have been unable to GUST them
Such abuses may be among the necesSi-
ties of war, but it would seem that it is
now time for the Japanese government
to correct them.
The Chinese say that the japanese are
monopolizing their telegraph business.
During the war they constructed military
lines in every direction. They connected
I'LL the important cities and villages, and
when peace was declared they had in
closed southern Manchuria i'll a network
of wires which was controlled by the
Japanesa government The Chinese claim
that as the war il now over all lines eX-
cent those necessary for the railroads
should be done away with. To this ia
pan has int last agreed, but il insists that
China pay So sU for the lines, and at
the same time Il Japanese telegraph mes
senger shall be i'll each of The city offices
in order 10 be able to telegraph i'll Japa-
nese This makes the Chinese pay for
the lines. and at the same time prdcti-
cally keeps them in the hands of the
japanese.
Another story OF japanese encroach-
mcnt is told in connection with the rail-
road proposed from the South AIanchu
rian line to kirin. The latter is Il city

valuable. There is already an enormous
trade, but the goods. go in carts and the
freight rate is something like SIC ton.
The Chinese proposed to build that read

DEATH OF GOV. JOHNSON.
He Passed Away Gasping the Hand
of His Wife.

John A. johnson. three times
governor of Minnesota, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident last year and looked upon by
many throughout the country as the
probable candidate for 1912, died
at St. Marys hospital at Rochester,
Mimi, at 1925 Tuesday morning,
following an operation Wednesday.
The governor lapsed into uncon-
sciousness at l o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. Toward the end he revived him
self several times to pat his wife on
her cheeks. His last words were:
well, Nora, guess I'm going; we
have made brave fight"
DR.. w. J. Mayo stated that there
were 10 traces of blood poisoning
and that the immediate cause OF
death was exhaustion and heart
failure. Considerable encourage
ment was felt Monday morning.
When the governor had breathed
his last, Mrs. Johnson, who had been
in almost hourly attendance at her
husbands side and who had borne
up bravely under the ordeal, total
ly collapsed and was taken to the
Sullivan home.

Huff Has Two Wives.

Magistrate C. P. Brunson issued
warrant Tuesday for one John Huff,
who is charged with having two liv-
ing wives. The complaint was made
by A. j. Jackson, who is the father
of the young lady Huff married last.
1t seems from the testimony in the
case that Huff married Miss Car
rie Jackson out at the new mill
village. on January 10, and that
when he contracted this marriage he
had a living wife. 1t is said that
Huff made light Of the affair, even
hoasting of his fooling Miss Jack
son, but when he gets into the mesh
es of the law he will sing a different
tune. Such fellows as Huff ought
to be locked up. and he will be If
what is charged against him is true.

WHO WAS THE LOSER?
will Some Good Mathmetician Solve
This Problem.

This Problem.
There is an old saying that figures
won't lie, and most Of US believe
it, but there are times when they
come mighty close to telling, dbs.
The problem presented below is a
case in point. Will some one who
is good at solving problems work out
the one below and send US the
answer. Here is the problem: ~
"a banker going home to. dinner
saw a sic bill on the curbstone. He
picked it up, noted the number, and
went home to o-.din1er.. While at
home his wife remarked that the
butcher had sent bill amounting
to $40. The only monev he had was
the bill he had found, which he gave
to her and she paid the butcher.
The butcher paid it to farmer for
a calf, the farmer to the merchant,
who in turn paid it to washer
woman and she owing the banker
a note of $40 went to the bank and
paid the note. The banker recogniz-
ed the bill as the one he had found,
and which to that time had paid
$50 worth of debts. On careful
examination he discovered that the
bill was counterfeit. Now what was
lost in the transaction and by
Whom?"

YOUNG MAN GONE WRONG.
Robs the Granitville Bank Of Seven
Thousand Dollars.

The Augusta Chronicle says the
Bank of Granitville is short $500,
and the shortage is charged up to
E. c. Burnett. son of DR.. H. ].
Burnett, of that town. Mr.. Burnett
was bookkeeper in the bank, hav-
ing charge of the personal ledger.
When confronted with the accusa-
ton he admitted most of it and his
people have promised to make the
amount good.
1t is stated that young Burnett
has been extracting money from the
bank for some time but it only be-
came known to the bank officials
while the young man was away on
summer trip. On Friday war
rant was issued for the young man,
but he had left the community.
Sunday Mr.. w. A. Giles. president
Of the bank, received information
that led him to believe young Bur-
nett was in Chattanooga. He COM
municated with the police of that
city and Monday Mr.. Giles was in
formed that Burnett was being held
in Chattanooga awaiting identifica-
ton. Mr.. Giles at once delegated an
officer qualified to identify Burnett
and also to bring Burnett back to
Graniteville, if the prisoner proves
to be he.
Mr.. Giles denied that the Bank
of Graniteville felt any embarrass-
ment from the shortage of $500,
charged to young Burnett He says
that the statement that a State bank
examiner will try to prevent run
on he bank IS absurd. Whatever
loss the bank may sustain from Bur-
nett's alleged misconduct may be
readily absorbed by the banks sur
plus.
A dispatch from Chattanooga saws
f. c.. Burnett, formerly teller of the
Bank of Graniteville, S. c., was ar
rested there on a telegram from
Graniteville stating that he was
wanted there for embezzlement.
Burnett is in jail awaiting the ar
rival OF officers who will take him
bacq to South Carolina.

But Returns When Her Father Has
Her Arrested.

The News and Courier correspon-
dent says a pathetic scene marked
the meeting at police headquarters
in Washington on Monday of Miss
Carolyn M. Salley, nineteen years of
age, and her father, DR.. o. B. Sal
ley, of Augusta, when the latter
arrived there for the purpose OF
taking his daughter home.
Miss Salley was arrested Sunday
at the union station by Detectives
Cox and Berman, on charge OF
being a fugitive from her parents
home. !, One. hour. later the two de-,
tectives also took Miss Mary Bean
into custody. Miss Salley told Capt.
Boardman, chief of detectives, that
she was accompanying Miss Bean to
Boston to complete her education.
The father was informed of the de-
tention of the couple at Washington
and arrived Monday. Accompanied
by his daughter he returned Mon
day afternoon Miss Bean was al
lowed to depart and left police bead
quarters for her hotel.
. DR.. Salley says Miss Bean was q
teacher at the college which his
daughter attended, and became a
close friend. Later she visited Miss
Salley at her home. The father
stated that owing to the manner of
the teacher toward his daughter, his
wife had ordered her to leave the
house.
Upon seeing her father Monday
morning Miss Salley embraced him
affectionately and declared she want
ed to return to her home. Miss
Bean also called at police headquar-
ters and DR.. Salley declared she ask
ed permission to correspond with his
daughter, which he refused "If
that woman ever puts her foot on
Georgia soil," the Doctor. declared.
II will have her arrested for abduc-
tion."
Dr.. Salley is from Orangeburg
county, but has been living in Au-
gusta for a number OF years, where
he has built up. fine practice.
