.CHINA'S ORKAT IMFROVEMKNT.
" The New York Evening Post Is ln
'ellned to ridicule the idea that there Is
' any ' reason why the administration
phoald prepare for trouble In China.
7. and In Its argument to sustain the po
' Bitjon taken makes some Interesting
Statements relative to the Chinese sit
uation at this time. It will be remem
bered that in 1900, when the Boxer re
bellion overran a large section of the
' empire, a force of some 26,000 foreign
troops marched to Pekln and relieved
"the' foreigners who had for weeks
'been besieged In the legation com
pound. Now, however, according to
The Evening Post, no sane officer who
wag lit China In 1900 believes that the
expedition to Pekln could be repeated
' to-day with 250,000 men, so great has
, ,-beta the empire's progress In sis
f yetrg. It Is further asserted that the
provincial viceroys are of a different
calibre from those who held office in
'. the Boxer troubles. Continuing, the
, paper quoted savs:
'The Boxer themselves, It must be re
, membared, we,ie a rabM driven to des-
-k peratlon by two years of famine, and
t. thete was not then, as to-day, a modern
:, lied Chinese army. The boyootters of
Shanghai and Canton are men of prop
erly. With buKlnesa Interests to conserve
J:?:That they much prefer peaceful methods
''fit retaliation Is shown by their posting
placards In Hhiinghal the day after the
flot, calling upon the populace to pre
serve order. That outbreak. It must be
' noted, was not directed at any foreign
era, but was due to the imprisonment of
a hatlyo woman of position lna foreign
prtson'lnstead of that built for Chinese
women, American readers of Chinese
liappcnlngs should not think that Rrltlsh
nnd Amerlnin marines itad to be IfinuVd
. bCgUs there was no Chinese force avsll
f ) able. TTnder the treaty, no native police
! rr aoldlery In permitted in the foreign
settlement, and guards of honor may not
.'. eve,'e marched through without tho
- (Consent of the foreign official."
," ' Reports from China have of late ro
'peately called attention lo the vast
' Improvement In the Chinese army, and
It Stands to reason Hint if the army I
I being brought up to date other things
'ln the empire are tending In the same
Central direction. Despite the Im

themselves are especlnlly hazy on the

"Tflll soon be abolished. The latter,
;- -however, do not seem to be borrm out

jected a policy which was a radical
departures from the principle Just re
ferred to. It contemplate - system of
tariff duties between England her
colonies, which made, the combination
in effect a close corporation and 'con
stituted a discrimination against the
trade of all the outer world. It was. in
a word, the proposition of a reversal
of England's Immemorial fiscal policy
a,nd the establishment In Its stead of a
protective tariff. This la exactly in
the teeth of the established English
system; In direct contravention or the
commercial policy which, more than
any other thing excepting; the force of
her people who are easily the greatest
in the world has contributed to Eng
land's greattieas and glory. The voters
would have none of It and repudiated
it with emphasis. Mr. Chamberlain
himself was barely saved, and that by
hi own constituency of Birmingham.
With these elections vanishes his
dream of the premiership. But what
ever the effect upon the political for
tunes of Individuals, the prominent
fact is that upon the clear cut issue
the English voters have in unmistak
able terms declared again their ad
herence to the doctrine of free trsds
ander which their kingdom haa be

AS TO COTTON TO THE ACRE.
We copied Thursday from the Lum
ber Bridge correspondence of The
I.umberton Robesonlan the state
ment that last year Mr. N. Shaw,
of Robeson county, raised thir
teen bales of cotton on six acres.
The Observer has told of some
large yields of cotton in this coun
ty, among others of one production of
two bales on an acre. Now comes The
Newton Enterprise and tells of Mr.
George Bolick, of Cfetawba, bavins-
made four bales ot 425 pounds each on
two and a half acres; and Catawba Is
further westward than any county In
the State that grows any cotton at
all. We all talk and with good reason
of the great progress and Improve
ment of North Carolina. In all lines of
endeavor, but the State Is Improving
In nothing so much as in its agricul
ture. It has been but a few years
sjince a bale of cotton to the acre
and then on small patches, specially
prepared and cultivated was regarded
as extraordinary, as Indeed it was.
Now It doesn't attract any attention.
and presently, If our farmers con
tlnue to improve their methods, it will
be the common thing not the rule,
perhaps, but still common.
TWO OF THE FAITHFCTi GONE
Our news columns convey tidings
this morning of the death of two con
secrated ministers of the Presbyterian
Church: . Rev. J. A. Dorrltee, of
Charlotte . and Rev, Jethro Rumple,
D. D., the venerable pastor of ths
First Presbyterian church of Salis
bury. In both cases the eve.nt was
fully expected. These deaths mean
great losses. Mr. Dorrltee was one of
the b't men that ever lived; was be
loved by all who knew him and en
Joyed the unqualified respect' of the
entire community. His death will be
sincerely lamented. Dr. Rumple was
one of the most widely known minis
ters of his denomination In the State
and his pastorate was perhaps of long
er continuance than that of any other
minister of tho State. For forty-five
years ho had been pastor of the
I'resbylerlan church of his tow-Ti and
Salisbury will scarcely seem Itself
without him. He was a man of ability
and force and In his home town and
elsewhere will he genuinely mourned.
Both of these servants of the Master
wrought well, walked worthily and
adorned the dor! fines they professed.
TKK JAPAN I'XE AMBASSADOR.
The President has doa himself snd
his administration honor - In the ap
pointment of Hon. Luke E. Wright,
(iovernor General of the Philippine
Islands, as the first American ainb.-m-sudor
to Japan. He Is a native of
Tennessee; the son of a former Chief
Justice of that State; a son-ln-hiw of
Admiral Raphael Hemmes, Of the Con
federate Navy; an officer In the Con
federate Army; a Democrat albeit In
the Bryan enmpatgu a gold Democrat
and a lawyer of eminence. In 1900
he waa tppolnlcd by President Mc
Klnley to the Philippine Commission,
and upon the return of Governor Gen
eral Tnft, to take the Secretaryship of
War, was appointed lo the post va
cated by that gentleman a,nd has dis
charged Us duties with wisdom and
discretion. He Is a very able man and
Will measure up fully to the responsi
bilities of the new position which he
goes to OH. The appointment wss
made, of course, strictly upon the
merits of the man, but It Is one which
the whole South will appreciate.
The Charlotte Day Nursery has been
a good deal In the pa per a for the past
week and one never sees mention of It
or thinks ot it without thought of good
Dr. Barron, who Initiated It. It will
be long ere he Is forgotten his mem
ory deserves to II vo forever. The re
cent anniversary of the Nursery was
properly made s Dr. Barron memorial
meeting, at which several of his
brethren, good men, of the family of
virtue, spoke becomingly, worthily, of
him. Than this institution, founded
upon his initiative, there te not In
Charlotte or elsewhere a ' mora de

TWO VOICES.
"My life should be worthless without
you," he said;
"Not a boon, but a burden, from God;
And, lacking your love, I had rather He
dead
With the millions that rest In the sod.
For mile after mile I should meet men
who smile
Not the smile which can bless and
endures;
And day after day when I bowed me
to pray
God's Image should fade into yours.
But love me, and life needs no priest
to explain.
It's multifold promise redeemed;
Not a rose nor a cloud has been tinted
In vain,
Net a dreamer has foolishly dream
ed." 'In the path of my life I have found
you most fair,"
Said wisdom, who spake as his
friend. '
'Take hands and come with me; for
hope or despair.
We twain will explore to the end.
And bright he our road and light be
our load,
If it please you, fair lady, to come;
And rare be the day that shall beam
on your nay.
If your heart lead another course
home.
For, sweet, yea or rray, the sun turns
to shade.
Arid life has what purpose I give It:
I will that it end not at man's love
for maid.
And, wlih or without you, will live it."

EXOTICS.
One must believe one's eyes. Nestling
among the dead, dry bermuda yester
day the dandelions bloomed, smiling
back at the sun with a richer gold
than its own, and a great deal more
brilliant and welcome to the seer In
that they lione there on the blighted
bosom of midwinter. There are plenty
of flowers In June. These little lovers
of life held up In one hand the yellow
blossom and In another the fadry-
dollcate sphere of seed, so that the
eight of them set going the music In
one's mind:
The faint fresh flame of the young
year Hushes
From leaf to flower and flower to
fruit."
It Is wonderful how they stand pre
pared for opportunity, and how eager
ly they hear and answer the sun's call,
blazing out on a warm day like the
Kt.'trs at dusk. But theirs Is a.fatal
courage; they have shown their colors
too soon. The thief Is In their cham
ber, and they had better dreamed, or
protended to dream until he had taken
his treasure and fled, for now he Is
warned of them and has them at his
mercy. They have taken the precau
tion, however, that he may not de
stroy their kind; for the seeds have
wings and are clad for rough weather
and the robber haa no power upon
their lives.

It Is Impossible to thorough

some soaps, those containing

there Is no suclt thing aa a
