Old Citizen* Itemlnded of the Flush 'Time* of the Past. Darien, Ga., Aug. 18.—In spite of riots and strikes, Darien has made the best record in business for the |*ist twelve months that she has made for many years before. The timber business has prosper ed in a way that reminded the old-timers of the town’s palmiest days, when SIOO bills were common and $5 bills were too small to chase when the wind blew them out of the hands of (he timhermen. To illustrate how little the strike of the longshoremen has hurt the shipping in dustry of this port, the records show that during tin nine weeks of the strike- about 22,000,000 feet of timber, valued at $308,000, has been shipped from here. During the past week alone 4.921,301 fort of timber, valued at $64,000, left this i>ort for Ameri can and foreign points. The timber mer chants have quite a lot of timl>er on hand ready for shipment, but freights are high and vessels scarce. The strike doesn’t appear to i*e cutting much of a figure. The rice planters are about ready to harvest the crop. A considerable acreage was planted this year, but the crop will be short, owing to unfavorable weather at a time when the grain should have re ceived its c!oest attention.

Morehead, Ky., Aug. 18.—The Adkins and Howarde had a bloody battle in El liott county night before, in which one of the Howards was shot dead, another was shot through the lung, and is ex pected to die. The difficulty was caused by one of the Howards and one of Lindsay Adkin’s boy quarreling over u young woman in their neighborhood. After quarreling both went home and brought back other members of their families for reinforce ments. Adkin’s father, who is a preach er. was with his boy. All the Adkins were arrested. FAMOUS M% Nt 'HI DY N ASTY. Story of It* Him* to Power nnd Some of It* Hatred*. From the Chicago Times-Herald. The rise of the Manchu race to its pres ent position in the politics and affairs of the world is a wonderful story of courage, battlefield victories, dark treachery and indomitable perseverance. In the middle of the fifteenth century the race consisted of three small tribes living near the bor ders of what is now the Ghinese Empire, and only escaping the designation of no mads because, in the winter months, they had some settled home. Even in those days they were known and feared by the surrounding tribes for their daring, their contempt for death and their willingness to run any risk to add to their herds and possessions. Gradually, ns they grew in power and in fluenc •. they began to absorb neighboring peoples until at the beginning of the six teenth century they had become the most populous and powerful race on the bor ders of the Celecti.il Empire. Since their birth as a nation the Chinese had hnrrasse.l them continually find bor der troubles had grown thick and fast A century of persecution bred In ih? hearts of these people such a hatred of the Chinese race ihat they gradually be gan to long for a sweeping and terrible revenge. In the year 1601 the Manchus wore jx)ssessed of a standing army com posed of hardy fighters, and for fifteen years after that the project of an invasion of China was thoroughly discussed, and Anally arrang and. In 1616 the force* of the two nations met on the borders, nnd in what came to he known as the "Yang YVnh Sul"—the bit tie of the terrible blade—the Chinese were completely routed. The conqueror*, crossing the border at its northwestern extremity ravaged the towns and vil lages of the empire for hundreds of miles, and In three years had secured nnd held in subjection a section of terri tory as large us their own possessions on the other side of the boundary. In 1619 the Chln*\ , led by the Emperor Hivl Nang in person, and numbering. It Is es timated by the chronicler* of those days. 240.000 troopN. advanced to give battle to the Invaders. The fight lasted four days, and the Chines, for es were literally cut to pieces. The Emperor was killed him) half his army was destroyed. Even after this great victory the Man- YV. F.

They advanved along toward the interior slow ly and deliberately, capturing and pacify ing district after district and carefully refraining from any rapid movement in I country densely populated by hostiles. In 1627 a new’ King ascended the throne of Chinn. Hundreds of thousands of his subjects congregated in the Ynngtse Val ley for a celebration In connection with his accession. The invaders chose their time and swooped down on them, cutting the dykes of the Yangtse river and spread ing death and desolation everywhere. Awed by the calamity and the menace f a strange and powerful people, in their midst, great numbers of Chinese came over to the enemy an l openly vowed al legiance to their conquerors. The new Emperor was a weakling, with none of the instincts of a soldier, and. believing that the time was ripe for n master stroke. the invaders began to push on to Pekin. Tn the year 1643 they reached the walls of the forbidden city, with every foot of the country that lay between them and their own native land not only under sub jection but enjoying a fairly good govern ment. There never was any more delib erate of better planned conquest in the history of the world. Before the Man chus advanced from a captured district it had been practically made a part of their own nation. If they could not ac complish this change in one year they waited five. In front of Pekin the invaders halted for two months. One night traitors opened the. gates of the city and for twenty-four hours the thoroughfares ran blood. The palaces nnd all vestige of Chinese author ity were swept away, and before the year was over China’s first Manchu ruler as cended the throne. The dynasty has remained there from that day to this. Instead, however, of stamping its impress on the country or bringing with it any changes in the life or methods of the Chinese its Manchurian customs have almost completely died out nnd the Chinese literature, religion and habits have thoroughly transformed the conquerors. And. more than that, the Chinese have actually overrun Manchuria and so-stamped it with the Chinese hall mark that the Manchu nation, as a na tion, has been practically wiped off the map. Though China has obtained this mild mannered revenge on tho invaders, the very great mass of tho people have never been reconciled to the conquering dynasty, and the whole southern and southeastern part of the empire, with its teeming mill ions of people, may be likened to a smol l ering volcano, ready at any moment to break out into rebellion and place a Chi nese family on the throne. In the whole 250 years since the Ming dynasty began to rule this determination has been kept steadily alive. The great Tai Ping rebellion, in spite of all the terrible charges that wore laid at the door of the rebels and generally be lieved, was treated by the European gov ernments in a manner that they are now beginning to realize was entirely wrong. England and France, failing to see in it the uprising of a great national spirit which could never be kept down perma nently, sided with the Ming dynasty, and it was this assistance that saved the throne and smothered the rebellion. What has Europe won from it? Only the bit ter hatred nnd scorn of the race that it saved and kept in power. For thirty-five years the Mings have dealt back dagger thrusts and insults for every kindness showered upon them. It is the general sentiment among white people who have lived among the Chinese and who claim to understand some l ttle about their motives and their ambitions, that Chinn will never be in a settled con dition until this Ming dynasty has been exterminated or banished once and for all and the old Chinese line of emperers seat ed on the throne. The great province of Sze Chuan Is the bead and front of the Tai Ping power, a power that Is steadily growing nnd patiently making for its ul timate object—the overthrow of the line that usurped the throne 250 years ago. The Chinese who stand for a return of the old kings occupy a vast stretch of ter ritory covering an area of 90,000 square mFes, with its northern boundary extend ing 250 miles along the Yangtse nnd run ning south in an irregular breadth of from 300 to 360 miles. The provinces em braced in this section of the empire con tain from 92.000,000 fo 94.000,000 people. Anl these millions ever keep alive tho belief that some day they will be able to rise again and do away with the Manchu dy nasty. These people ate intelligent fatalists; they never quarrel with facts. And the r patience is as deep as the sea. They will wait for the opportunity, and when it comes they will strike. Till that time China will never be at peace. A Capitol Fall of Fentlpede*. Austin (Tex.) Corn spondence Chicago Record.

Ro*ln* Also Decline Five Cent* Throughout the Line, With the Cloning Finn—The Drop In Spirit* Inie to Light Demand nnd Heavy Receipt*-- Cotton Easy—Local fnd Telegraphic Market*. Morning News Office, Aug. 13. The feature of the markets to-day was the decline in naval stores, which went off as to both spirits turpentine and rosins. Turpentine lost a cent from yesterday’s price, and rosins dropped five cents throughout the line. At the decline both markets were posted firm, with the rofin market in fairly strong position. While the official turpentine market was firm, doubt prevailed among some of the trade as to the real strength of the mar ket. The demand was light, and buyers manifested considerable indifference. It was not understood that factors were re lieved of their offerings. The factor which Is now exerting an unfavorable influence on the market is the heavy receipts which are exceeding the cxt>ectations of the trade. It was believed some time ago that the volume for August would be large, due to the setback producers had during the early part of the season in gathering stuff. The trade express a feeling of un certainty as to the probable outcome, with none inclined to take a very bright view of what the immediate future may have in store for the market.

STORKS. New York. Aug. 18.—Hubbard Rros. & Cos. sny: The report in the Chronicle was less favorable than anticipated and for eign advices were therefore better, caus ing i sharp improvement in our market. Local rains were reported from many places in South Carolina. Georgia and Tenneas.ee, relieving to n moderate degree the dry weather of the past three weeks. More is needed. According to the govern ment report local rains will occur through out this region during Sunday. Our mar ket looks for a further improvement in Liverpool on Monday on account of the light movement of the crop and the tem per of the trade is distinctly more in fa vor of the market than for some time past. Commission houses are surprised to receive selling orders from the Atlantic, but look for a better market next week unless heavy rains occur and the weath er moderates. DRY GOODS.

It is for you to watch results. As n rule, tne system, afflicted throughout, does not suffer equally at all points; generally it is either the head, the heart or the stomach that leads the way in the hurrying march to the grave. It is here in the most sorely afflicted port that you first feel the thrills of anew and glowing life with a vividness that al ways surprises with glad joy, the stupe fying pain in the head gives place to clearness, to glowing brightness; the wast ed stomach, so long averse to food calls, calls for nourishment; the enfeebled heart, struggling and laboring to keep the pa tient above ground, leaps into wholesome action. Of course, with one bottle, these impulses of vigor, strength and joy sent by this wonderful medicine trembling through the body, can be but temporary, yet they abide long enough to prove the miraculous power of this wonderful reme dial force. Cases have come under our immediate notice that simply beggar description, that rise beyond the highest reaches of fancy. Jt is simply a revelation in the history of medicine to read the letters and testimonials that pour in upon us with nearly every order in whic'h persons la bor for words to express the feelings for which there is no language. The fact can not be questioned that in. Soma the pan acea for the common, the most direful plague of man has been brought to light. Already thousands are blessing the day of its birth and as the years go by ever adding to the story of Soma's power to drive back the tides of disease, uproot and destroy the seeds of decay, to snatch af flicted man from a premature grave, and send him forth rejoicing in the warmth and blessed embrace of anew life, the time will come when the world will crown Roma as heaven’s sublimest gift, earth’s supremest blessing.

Brooklyn Rapid Trnnalt Statement Analysed, New York, Aug. 18.—But for the Inter est aroused by nn analysis of she Brook lyn Rapid Transit’s annual statement,pro fessional operators would have had but little material to influence prices. Al though the report showed that a shade over 1 per cent, was earned on the stock, discussion of specific Items was unfavor able. For instance, the high ratio of op erating expenses and outstanding loans of *1,090,000 aroused comment. Decided pressure was exerted against the stock from the outset, an extreme loss of 2*i being made with the net loss reduced to 1H on purchases by t!* short interest. In People's Uas a fall of 2 per cent, was without adequate explanation, but this stoek also recovered somewhat in the linal dealings. These movements were the chief feature* of the market, its nar rowness being Accentuated by the ab sence of London operations II being a holiday there. Railway slufks were relatively better sustained than the general run of special ties. Th. puhlieailon of the second week of August earnings for many lines show ing numerous increases’ acted as a prop for this division.
