An Interesting Lecture.

Hon. Caleb Powers, of Kentucky,
who delivered his lecture at Emporium
last Tuesday evening and while the at
tendance was not as large as it should
have been, owing to the inclement
weather, those who did attend were
deeply interested and the lecturer
held his hearers for over one hour.
His talk of the persecution for eight
long years, during which time he was
tried four times for the murder of Gov.
Goebel, sentenced to death twice and
to life Imprisonment twice, being final
ly pardoned, was indeed thrilling, 1t
is a miracle that he is at all able to tell
his story. The American citizens, who
contributed $4,000 to aid him in his
battle for life, certainly did a COM
mendable act Wherever he goes, he
should have crowded houses,

A BIG REAL
ESTATE DEAL.
Mr.. j. L. Wheeler of Marion Pur-
chases Large Historic Estate
Near GEORGETOWN.


Mr.. J. L. Wheeler of this city has
purchased the Gen. Alexander prop
erty near Georgetown, which contains
about fifteen thousand acres consist
ing of North Island, South Island, and
a large part of Cat Island. The prop
erty is said to be worth about $3.50, 900.
1t has on 1t one of the largest rice plan
tations in the State, with its own rice
mill, which with all the stock on the
place and the farm improvements were
included in the deal. Saturdays is
sue of the Georgetown Item contained
the following concerning the purchases:
'The party of gentlemen from Mari
on, S. c.. Messrs. J. l.. Wheeler, Mar
vim Davis and Henry Buck, which the
Daily Item exclusively reported as
having arrived in this port on last
Thursday morning from Marion on
their beautiful and nobby launch, the
'Temiskaming," (Which, we understand,
is named after the gold mine of Mr..
Wheeler, in Mexico, returned yester-
day from North and South Islands,
where they had gone to close negocia
tions for all of Gen. E. p. Alexander's
island holdings. In an interview with
Mr.. Marvin Davis yesterday afternoon
he informed us that the party named
above had purchased all the property
on North and South Islands, belonging
to General Alexander, and would
make all necessary improvements in
and around their holdings on each of
of the islands, as it was purposed to
make great deal of this valuable pro-
perty into game preserve.
Aside from it's value as a game re-
sort, North Island, situated as it is on
the Atlantic ocean, has no equal in its
conditions of health, and is one of the
most accessible of the islands adjacent
to this city, being only fifteen miles
from dock to dock.
If the hills which stand as monu-
ments of by-gone ages, were leveled,
thereby, filing up the ravines, beauti-
full and airy residences erected, what
an ideal summer resort North Island
would become for summer tourists
from all over the country. No fear of
sickness, plenty of fish, oysters shrimp
and water fowl, no apprehension of
danger from storms, as South Island is
close by and is connected with the
main lands.
Surely the eyes of our forefathers
have been blinded by these actual nat
ural advantages of one of the most eli
gible islands on the coast which figura-
lively speaking, lies at our very doors,
or else North Island to-day would
have been a veritable Garden of
Eden. ."-Marion, S. G. Star

Board or Trade.

The first meeting of the Board of
Trade, held in their new rooms, over
the Library, last Monday evening, was
very successful, large number of mem
bers being present. In the absence OF
the President, the first Vice-President,
the Hon. /. X. Hockey made the open
ing address. A number of questions
for the good of the town were discuss
ed, among which was: Will public
market benefit our town? Many men,
bers gave their opinion on this matter
and it was shown that a market would,
beyond doubt, be great stimulant
to the farmers of our county, inducing
them to raise more and better pro.
duce, for which they would receive
better prices than heretofore and all
spot cash. The towns people would
also be greatly benefited by this, in
having chance to buy their fruits,
vegetables, ETC., strictly fresh from the
producer thereby saving the middle
mans profit The merchants would
also be benefited by this market as the
farmer would have more money to
spend and without doubt spend it in
our town. Livery member present
was in favor of public market. A
committee, who was appointed, will
lay this matter before the Council at
theig next regular meeting. 1t was de-
cided by an unanimous vote to have
the new rooms open twice a week,
every Monday and Friday evenings.
Every meeting will combine business
and pleasure. The entertainment COM
mittee will see that something of in
terest will be offered at each meeting.
1t is hoped that, not only the men,
bers, but all those who have the good
of the town at heart, will be present at
every meeting. After the business
was over the members indulged in a
friendly game of King Pedro, in which
Messrs. ]. K. Hockey and A. @. Blum
proved themselves invincible. Next
meeting will be beld tomorrow eve
ming friday in the rooms over the
Library. Don't forget to attend.

China's Craving For knowledge

Foreign consuls in Chinese cities,
missionaries in all parts of the Chinese
empire, merchants in the Chinese ports,
and travellers who study China agree in
reporting new hunger for knowledge
the kind of knowledge which has
made the nations of the western world
great and prosperous and strong. The
Chinese are Willing anu Ell Ger to 60 to
school to America and Europe, in q
sense which was never before true of
any large part of the population.
There is Il general recognition of the
value and need of western training for
the business of life.
The significance of this change is
easily perceived, for it must result in a
great quicllening of the vital currents
of national life, in country of 4OO,-
100000 inhabitants. 1t means more
strength in war and better progress in
the arts and industries of peace. 1t will
make China more formidable to other
great nations as IL competitor and enrich
the Chinese market for European and
American products of possible rival,
and it will also widen many kinds.
