Columbia. S. C., Au s- 28.—The Demo
cratic primary in this state to-day has
been attended by many surprises. The
teneral election is a mere ratification
of the primary, and oil interest centers
A n the latter.
The issue has been dispensary or pro
hibit ton. Col. James A. Hoyt of Green
ville, was the prohibition nominee, and
the dispensary was represented by Gov.
M. B. McSweeney, F. B. Gary. Speaker of
tne House of Representatives, A. Howard
Patterson, and Rev. Walt Whitman. The
latter has been a candidate for office
eighteen years, and never elected.
A canvass of the entire state was made,
each of the forty counties being visited.
The Prohibitionists assailed the dispen
sary, and the champions of the dispen- i
sary fell out among themselves. Patter
son viciously attacked Gov. McSweeney,
who became Governor on the death of
Gov. Ellerbe.
Senator Tillman, w T ho claims paternity
for the dispensary, came into the cam
paign ana fought Col. Hoyt. Asa result
of this interference, Tillman’s name has
been scratched by 20,000 voters to-day, al
though he has no opponent.
Col. Hoyt, prohibition, leads in the
first race. He will probably lead Mc-
Sweeny by 10.000 votes. There will be a
second primary two weeks from to-day,
and the issue between Hoyt and Mc-
Sweeny will be closed.
A surprise was the large vote received
by J. H. Tillman for lieutenant governor.
He is a nephew of the senator. He will
run it over with Col. John T. Sloan.
State Treasurer Timmerman Is defeated
by Capt. R. H. Jennings. Ail other state
officers succeed themselves. The, race for
Congress shows Talbert, Stokes and El
liott succeed themselves without opposi
tion; Finlay will be beaten by Strait;
Ftanyarn Wilson by Jos. T. Johnson, and
James Norton by Lieutenant Governor
Scarborough. It is evident that Latimer
will succeed himself against two oppo
nents.
These calculations are based on reports
received at state headquarters and are
not complete, but are evidently’ indicative
of final results.

Charleston, S. C., Aug. 28.—At this hour
(2 a. m.) it is impossible to give anything
like complete returns of the primary in
Charleston county. Six of the largest
boxes of the city are yet to be heard
from.
Both the Martin and Jervey men claim
success, with the advantage in favor of
(’apt. Martin being the next sheriff. Dun
kin will beat Flshburn for clerk of court.
The other local races are all uncertain.
McSw’eeny will carry the county for gov
ernor by a good plurality, but no details
ere available owing to the absence of the
six important boxes mentioned. It will,
probably’, be after 4 o’clock before all of
the city boxes are in.
While the excitement has run high
there has been no serious disturbances.

\\n* Taken From the Diary of a
High Chinese Official.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 28.—From the
diary of a high Chinese official in Pekin,
published in the North China Daily News,
the following extracts are taken;
On the 4tn of June the Boxer outlaws
had begun to tear up and destroy’ the rail
way between Pekin and Tien Tsin, and
from that day, also, began to enter tne
city walls of Pekin, crowding in at the
iau- of o\ era thousand u day. At ihis
lime, also, these outlaws began the whole
sale slaughter of Christians and burning
of churches outside of Pekin, until none
of the latter have been left standing. As
many us could escape among the Chris
tians then poured into the capital, taking
refuge in tne legations. This state of ai
fairs, 1 may say, existed^in the capital
during the first days of June.
Thirteenth of June, liOJ. About dusk
while i : the University of Pekin, I saw
places on lire, whe.eupon I imme
diately return and to my hous , subsequent
ly' learning that all the churches and
mis.-ion property inside the ’Eastern City’
ha-i bten set on fire and entirely des
troyed.
“To-night there was a huge commo
tion and rioting, mostly in tne- eastern
and western thoroughfares, alter which
a great tusi ade of lifle firing succeeded.
This was due to those places being near
the Ausiuian legation, the inmates of
which, hearing a gi\at commotion
uniongft the Boxers in the grtat mor
oughtares and seeing them approach close
to the legation, began to shoot them. The
Boxers returned the lire, the fighting last
ing till 11:30 p. in.
“Sixteenth of June—To-day the fire and
smoke rising from building set on fire in
the great street leading from the south
gate of the palace were awful. So dense
was the smoke that throughout the day'
it was a i*ill over the capital, making
the sun a pa.e yellow’. It seems that the
Boxers had set fire to the old Lao Tung
drug shop, and there being at the lime a
strong southwest wind blowing, the con
flagration had destroyed several hundred
shops.
“Nineteenth of June—At noon to-lay as
the Germun minister and his interpreter
were riding in sedan chairs together to
the Tsung-li-Yamen, and had got just
north of the single Imperial arch, sudden
ly there was heard a shot in the sedan
chair of the minister, due to the revolver
which he carried as personal protection
going off accidentally. The soldiers oil
guard at the Belgian legation, suspect
ing that the shot had been tired by our
government troops, immediately opened
their gates and began firing on passers
by. The Beiglnn legation is just next
the Teheing Tang house. Thereupon our
government troops returned the fire.
During the mutual fusilades there, in
tite sedan chair, the, German minister was
fatally hit. This was the beginning ol
actual hostilities. The government, un
der the circumstances, the matter having
got beyond recall, accordingly decided,
for the first time, to order out the Kansu
Corps to attack the various legations.
“Twentieth of June—At 4 p, rn. to-day
Kansu troops began firing on the Austrian
legation from the Prince's palace. The
firing lasted all night.
“Twenty-first of June—At 1:30 p. m., the
Austrian legation was captured by the
Kansu troops and at about 6 p. m., they
began setting fire to the buildings nearby.
As night fell, the buildings Just east of
the Austrian legation, namely, the Impe
rial Chinese Bank and the Dollar Mint, got
on fire.
' Twenty-second of June—As morning
broke we could see that the tonflagration
was spreading and burning more fiercely
than ever. The a dolors belong.ng to Jung
Du ow n personal command came on the
scene to restore order and to preserve
the peace, but instead of doing this, they
actually joined the Kansu m< n in getting
loot. Kventually it was found that Jung
Du's army were the greatest sinners tn
this r<spect.
“Twenty-fourth of June. Commencing
from to-day the sound of rifle firing has
never ceased, springing up on all sides,
that in the direction of the bridge over
the imperial canal being most severe.
“Twenty-seventh of June. To-day the
British legation was taken, and the for
eign troops took refuge in a lane. The
houses in Chia Ming street had by this
time all been burned down to the ground,
scarcely any being left standing."
Here the diary ends. A letter from an
unnamed refugee also published in the
North China Daily News, confirms many
of these statements.

The Admirals Decided to Keep Him
Iboaril Ship.
Paris, Aug. 28.—Admiral Courrejolles,
the French commander in Chinese waters,
has cabled to the navy department here,
that a council of the admirals has notified
the foreign legations at Pekin, that it
haa been decided to hold L! Hung Chang
on board ship until the opening of nego
tiations between the Powers and the diplo
mats.
Washington, Aug. 28.—The state depart
ment has heard nothing of any intention
to interfere with the movement of i.i
Hung Chang. The report from the French
admiral at Taku to the contrary le be
lieved to refer to an incident of the past,
when Di Hung Chang contemplated a
visit to Pekin by way of Taku, and the
Pei Ho, and not to the present.

PARAUUD 30,000 VETERANS.
A Million Speefators AVitnesse-il the
Kes’leav,
Chicago, Aug. 28.—For four hours and
a half to-day the thinning ranks of the
Grand Army of the Republic passed in
review before their leaders, and before
probably a million sffectators, parked in
almost solid masses along the four miles
of the line of parade. It marked the
climax of the thirty-fourth annual en
campment of the Association of Veterans,
and was, according to Commander-in
chief Shaw, the greatest parade since
that clay in Washington, when the hun
dreds of thousands of veterans, the most
powerful army on earth, marched in re
view to their final disbandment.
Probably 20,000 members of the army of
veterans took part in the parade. For
exactly four hours and twenty minutes,
most of the time with ranks almost per
fectly aligned, but occasionally faltering
under the burden of years, they filed past
the reviewing stand on Michigan avenue,
saluting as they marched by Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, Commander-in-chief Shaw, Dan
iel E. Sickles and the Spanish Minister,
Duke D'Areos.
Weather conditions were almost ideal
for the parade, and the line of march was
much shorter than ever before mapped
out for the annual parade. Its entire
length was not over four miles.
One especially sad Incident occurred to
mar In a degree the glory of the parade,
Charles Beckwith of Algousea, Mich.,
dropping dead as the line was filing past
the corner of Michigan avenue and Madi
son street. The parade was halted for a
moment, the body of the veteran who had
responded to his last call was tenderiy re
moved and his comrades passed on. ,
In the center box of the reviewing stand
were Dleut. Gen. Nelson A. Mile*, repre
senting President McKinley; Commander-
In-Chief Shaw. Gen. Joseph E. Wheeler,
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, Mayor Harrison
of Chicago and W. H. Harper. To their
left were Acting Governor Warder,
Speaker David B. Henderson of the House
of Representatives, Bishop Fallows and
Senator Shelby M. Cullom, and to their
right the Spanish minister, Duke D'Areos,
wilh a party of friends, stood an inter
ested spectator.
Commander-tn-Chief Shaw remained
standing until the last veteran had filed
by. "We will never have another parade
like it," he said, turning to Bishop Fal
lows. "The comrades are getting old. The
years are pressing them closely. But this
one will live in our memories.”
The everting was given up entirely to
affairs of associate character. In twenty
six different places In the down-town dis
trict, reunions of states were held. Unions
by states had never been attempted be
fore at the natlonni encampments. It
proved a grrat success.
The annual business meeting of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be held
to-morrow morning In the Studebaker
Thrater. It is expected by the majority
of the del-gates appointed to attend (lie
meeting that the business of tho organ
isation will be over by to-morrow night.

Atlanta, Aug. 28.—A synopsis of the
weekly crop report of the United States
Weather Bureau, J. section
director, follows:
With tht? exception of local and. in most
cases, widely-scattered showers in the
northern and middle sections of the state,
the drought continues, to the detriment
of all crops. Where rains have fallen
some improvement is noted, but ns a gen
eral rule, cotton is rather too far ad
vanced to be much affected.
The first half of the week was excess
ively warm, the temperature in some lo
calities passing the lUO degree mark. Tht>
general crop situation has not improved,
but on the other hand, the outlook is less
encouraging than at the time of the last
issue of the bulletin. Cotton continues to
open rapidly ond there is considerable
complaint of rust and shedding. In many
fields the leaves have become brown and
withered from the effects of too much hot
sun and dry weather. Picking is now gen
eral. and some bales have been marketed.
Peas, cane end rice are not doing well.
Upland rice is heading low' and
light, pastures continue to fall, and
stock water is scarce in localities. Rains
are needed, not only to revive late veg

ciety stability. This is a plain fact, which
is evident to us all now. Of late years
the men who have been admitted to our
ranks have cbnue to us because of our
principles and. as a result, the personnel
of the order Is better to-day
j than ever before. The decree
j seem* to have gone forth from the subor
dinate lodges, as a rule, that quality, and
not quantity. Is what is desired.
“The Knights of Pyihlas are big
enough, atrong enough, brainy enough
ard influential enough to work cut their
own salvation, and I would strongly re
commend that any supreme officer or rep
resentative cr grand or subordinate
lodge officer who is so eitangled with oth
er organista-lons that he cannot give up
his b-st eff rts and best 'houghts, should
step down ami on* of official positions,
and allow those to be elected who believe
that we have the b 3 t secret order that
floats a banner in this great nation to
day. When this is done, then will we in
deed have within cur ranks only those
who can render a loyal obedience to Ita
laws and regulations.
“On Dec. 31, 1888, the report, as made lo
the Supreme Dodge from the different
grand domains, showed a membership of
470.795. The returns received lo Dec. 31.
1898, show a total membership of 481,872, a
net increase for the year 1888 of 21,589.
From the figures of the losses and gains
during the term ending June 30, 1900, It
appears that we have to-day a member
ship of 508,500, with fifteen grand domains
yet to hear from, a net gain for the two
year of 37,809. This is a splendid show
ing, and with this increase in member
ship comes also the gratifying Jhonght
that in nearly all the grand domains those
who are easling their lot with us to-day
are doing so from the fact that we are
progressive, patriotic and have all the at
tributes essential to make an up-to-date
order. Do not, therefore, at this conven
tion, let the word go out that we arc ret
rograding, but let us rather push forward
to a higher plane of usefulness and Influ
ence.
The membership at the close of busi
ness’ June 30, 1898, was 53,539, carrying
$99,281,500 endowment. The number of
members at the close of business, June
30, 1900. was 64,516, carrying $113,840,000 en
dowment. The Board of Control paid out
from June 30, 1898, lo June 30. 1900, J 2 -
420,918.”
