MINISTER WU TALKS
Chinese Diplomat Attends Ban
quet In Charlotte, N. £.
DELIVERS OPTIMISTIC ADDRESS
Discourses On the Demands of
His Country For Our
. Cotton Goods.
Mr. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minis
ter, was the guest of honor at a din
ner at Charlotte, N. C., given Thurs
day night by the Southern Manufac
turers’ club, of which Mr. D. A.
Tompkins, a member of the United
States industrial commission, is presi
dent. He spoke on the cotton goods
trade in China. Senator John L. Me-
Laurin, of South Carolina, was also a
guest of ilie club, and read a paper od
“Our Present Condition Iu the South
aud Our Duty For the Future.”
Mr. Ellison A. Smythe, president of
the Pelzer Manufacturing Company,
spoke on “The Question of the Hour,
or the Need of au Early and Peaceful
Settlement of the Oriental Question
from the Standpoint of a Southern
Manufacturer,”
Dr. Charles W. Dabney, president
}f the University of Tennessee, spoke
, *n “The Possibilities in Cotton.”
"krnong other prominent guests was
. Senator Pritchard, of South Carolina.
In his address at the dinner Thursday
night Mr. Wu gave a general review of
the trade conditions between the south
and the orient and of China’s import
ance as a market for southern goods.
After quoting from advance sheets of
the consular reports for February,
1901, he said in part:
“Large as is the amount of Ameri
can coiton goods which China imports
every year, it forms only one-sixth of
the quautity she buys from abroad.
Indeed, only t tie outskirts of the coun
try have been entered. It is well
known that the bnlk of the American
gjodsis shipped to Manchuria and the
province of Chi Li. Now Manchuria
has a population of 7,000,000 aud Chi
Li a population of 18,000,000. These
Thes eare by no means the most thick
ly populated parts of the empire.
There are seventeen other provinces
of China proper, many of which have
a denser population than either Chi
Li or Manchuria. There is no reason
why American cotton goods cannot
find as ready a market in the provinces
of central and southern China as in
the north.
“It is manifest,” he said, “that the
cotton growers and manufacturers of
these southern states have not only
gained a foothold in Manchuria and
north China, bnt can, with a little
effort, easily find a large market for
their goods throughout the whole of
•central and south China. The only
thing the American manufacturer has
to keep in mind is that he should
make goods suitable for the Chinese
market.
“If properly placed before the
Chinese, American cotton goods will
obtain the same foothold in southern
China that they hav6 in northern. The
present importations are not nearly
sufficient to meet the requirements, ;
It must be borne in mind that the
Chinese never wear wool—not even in
the depth of winter; that, generally
speaking, the entire population clothe j
themselves in cotton all the year round.
Their bedclothes, umbrellas and, in a
few instances, boatsails, are made of
cotton, and the consumption is prac
tically unlimited if they ore made in
accordance with native requirements.
“The recent troubles in north China
have undoubtedly injured the Ameri
can cotton trade in that country, for the
market for such goods has become a
vast camp for armed hosts. In the
midst of warlike operations trade and
commerce cannot continue to flourish.
The restoration of peace nd order to
that distracted region will be a boon
not only to the inhabitants of north
China, who have already suffered un
told losses and hardships, but also to
southern planters, manufacturers and
aboring men of all classes in ibis
country, who depend upon the nor
mal trade conditions in the Chinese
empire for their continued prosperity,
and I sincefely hope aud trust that
this will not be long delayed.”
JUDGE INSTRUCTS JURY.
testimony In the Ripley Case at Frank
fort Is Summed Up.
At Frankfort, Ky., Thursday, Judge
Cantrill delivered his instructions to
the jury in the case of Captain Gar
nett Ripley, the Goebel assassination
suspeci, and argument of the case was
begun.
The instructions are practically the
same as those given in the ciee of
Caleb Powers. The first holds that
the defendant must be found guilty if
the charge that Ripley conspired with
Taylor and others to procure Goebel’s
death, as alleged, has been proven to
the satisfaction of the jury.

STORM SIRIKtS ALABAMA.
Considerable Damage Is Done In
£elma, Huntsville and Other
Points By Winds.
One of the most disastrous wind
storms in that section of the state
swept over Selma, Ala., Thumday
| morning between 2 and 3 o’clock. The
I wind came with fearful force from the
south and did a great deal of damage
to the wholesale grocery houses on
Water street. The wind tore off the
roofs of the majority of these stores
and they were flooded with the rain
which followed, ruiuing mauy thou
sand dollars’ worth of groceries.
A conservative estimate places the
loss in the city in the neighborhood of
$30,000. Freight train No. 73, on the
Southern, between Selma and Mobile,
ran into a pile of sand five feet deep,
whieh bad been washed across the
track by the rains following the pass
ing cyclone. The engine was turned
over and Engineer H. G. Ellwood
was almost instantly killed, a negro
fireman named Killian was seriously if
j not fatally injured.
A special to The Birmingham Age-
Herald from Gadsden aud Gunters
ville stated that a severe windstorm
swept those two places Thursday
morning from 1 to 2 o’clock, doing
considerable damage. Three churches
were almost totally destroyed, as well
as about twelve cottages.
The storm played havoc with shade
trees and telephone wires at Hunts
ville. The Huntsville cotton mill was
unroofed by the wind aDd operation of
the plaut was delayed for a time. Small
frame buildings in various parts of the
city were more or lees damaged.
At Carrollton, Ala., the wind un
roofed the jail, courthouse, several
residences and a church. The drug
store of N. B. Upchurch and a large
mill were demolished.
ENORMOUS COST OF WAR.
Britons Will Have to Go Down
Deep Into Their Pockets
to Even Up.
A London special says: The ex
ceptional interest taken in this year’s
budget statement was evinced by the
crowded condition of the house of
commons when it reassembled Thurs
day.
The attendance of members was
nnusually large, while the appearance
of the galleries testified to the deep
interest of the public in the fresh tax
ation proposals required to meet the
expenditure for 1901-1902, which, ac
cording to a parliamentary paper, to
tals £187,142,000 ($835,710,000), in
clusive of war charges, this being an
increase of £32,901,000 ($164,505,000)
over last year.
The national balance sheet for 1901-
1902, as shown by the same paper,
stands as follows: Revenue, £130,385,-
000; expenditures, £185,592,000; net
deficit, £53,207,000.
The budget adds 2 pence to the in
come tax, making it 1 shilling 2 pence.
It does not provide an increase in the
duties on beer, wine or tea, spirits or
tobacco. A duty o 4s2d per cwt will
be imposed on refined sugar. A duty
of 2s per hundred weight is imposed
on molasses. West Indian sugar is
not excepted. A duty of 1 shilling
and 8 pence per hundred weight is im
posed on glucose. A shilling per ton
duty \s imposed on exported coal.
Raw sugar polarizing below 98 is to
pay a duty gradually diminishing, ac
cording to each degree of polarization
to a minimum of two shillings at a
polarization of 76.
The total expected yield of the new
taxation is £11,000,000, of which
£2,100,000 will be from coal.
The chancellor of exchequer asked
for permission to extend the present
borrowing on consols.
ALLEGED ASSASSINS ARRESTED.
Murder of I>r. Scrugg* Lending to Sensa
tional Development*.
A Memphis special says: Sensa
tional developments have been made
in the Dr. Scruggs assassination case
and strong evidence is being accumu
lated w hich may uncover a plot with a
number of persons implicated as the
result of a political feud in the com
munity in which the physician lived.
J. YV. Skinner, a wealthy dairyman,
and John Phillips, a carpenter, are be
hind the bars charged with the deed,
and other equally sensational
may follow.
LYNCHED AT COURT HOUSE.
Tennessee Mol* Wat Dotennlaed to Out
wit the Sheriff.
Tuesday night a mob of 100 men
forcibly entered the courthouse at
Sprihgfield, Tenn.,took Watt Mollory,
a negro, from the officers guarding
him and hanged him from the court
house veranda. As the rope grew taut
with the weight of the uegro’s body,
each member of the mob fired a shot
into the swinging body.
Mallory had fatally wounded J. H.
Farmer, a white man. The sheriff
heard that a mob was forming and se
cretly moved the negro from the jail
to the courthouse for safety.

Worms
CASCARETS are a sure cure for tape worms and those other pests of worms that make the lives of children
and their mothers miserable. Any variety of parasites that live in the human stomach or bowels, and feed on the
substance which should properly nourish the body, are dislodged by Cascarets Candy Cathartic, and expelled.
One or two tablets usually drive them out, and persistent use is sure to do away with the unwelcome intruders.
Many children and older people suffer from worms without knowing it, and get thin and weak, although their
appetite Is good. The best way to find out is to take Cascarets. Never accept a substitute!
