UaincuM Demand Ur Them in China, Say Mia elan arias. Mew Ywk Di«e«lcfc. Tfae Rev. Dr. John Hykes, agent of the American Bible Society in Shanghai, China, has submitted a report to the society on conditions snd the outlook in China. Dr. Hykes says the question of a recurrence of the recent troubles in China de pends on whether the govern ment of the empire wants anoth er outbreak. Aa the result of an edict di recting that the sons of Manchus and Mongols shall be chosen for foreign books. Scriptures in cluded. One government college has applied for a grant of fifty Bibles for the use o7 its students, and old scholars are scattered over the world in the govern ment service in the capacity of translators, interpreters and teachers of English. "One of the signs of the times.” says Dr. Hykes, is a remarkable movement on the put of some of the highest officials in the land to make a re-translation or re vision of the Bible, with a view of putting it in what they con sider a more literary form. The officials hope thus to acquaint the official class with the con tents of Bihle and remove their prefodlce against it and thereby •gainst Christians and Christian ity. "We issued mote Bibles m the last three mouths of this year than would have been considered ample stock for eight yean, a decade ago." Distillery Beariag PrefL ItaWNtCH.

Allison Black re turned home Saturday after an abaapae of thirty yean and found a matter of fact welcome at the the hand ol his wile and child the latter how grown to man hood, at their home two miles west of Bethany, on Clark’s Pork. Thirty years ago he left home and after a short while nothing wad heard from him and he .was finally considered dead. After many years of silence some one living in or near Kimr’s Mountain got some information m an accidental or indirect way that Mr. Black was living in Eastern North Carolina. Kiis son investigated and found it to be true. He spent some time in the Soldier’s Home in Raleigh, and now has come back to his old York county home to spend his declining years. Why these things an so, we do not know, jror would It be within our prov foce to asy. We simply give the *“ts Mwe receive them. Mr. Ruck is now more than 70 years of age.

There being no other business before the committee, it ad journed. Chairman Mason desires to call to tha attention of the voters tb* fact that tinder the plan of or ganisation, It becomes necessary for tha voters to elect a Precinct Executive Committee for each voting precinct io the county on the day of the various Primaries. This Precinct Executive Com mittee should immediately organise by electing one of their number Chairman, and the member elected Chairman of the Precinct Committee will be ex officio a member of the County Executive Committee. The new members of the County Execu tive Committee will then meet in Dallas on July 9th, and organise by electing a Chairman of the County Executive Committee. Any Democrat is eligible to the office of County Chairman. to the Circa*. A great many people are un necessarily worrying themselves over that appointment of a special embassy for the corona tion. It does not, to as, follow that the United Staten having a special representative at this function means that the Am erican government is approving a monarchical form of govern ment. Par from that. It rather displays oar national characteristic—the failing of going to the circus. Perhaps an old fellow like Scrooge would not budge from his desk to see the parade go by, but there are not many Scrooges these days, and Uncle Sam, representing these free and independent people, is cer tainly not one of them. There is something about a display of gorgeovroess in trap pings, the fanfare of trumpets, the clatter of horses hoofs, the rattling of paraphernalia of parades that makes the heart light. A pood circus parade beats the circus all to pieces. There will be as big a con tingent of well-to-do Southern people at the coronation as of | Northerners. Let ’em line the sidewalks of London and, mark lye, let any one of the royal brass bands hit up th«t old familiar tune, ’’Dude,” and if yon don’t hear a yell from across the ocean it will be because the wind is blowing the wrong way. Prithee, will that dieah that we are boosting along the di vine right of'kings' ides? Not much. It will mean that we like the band performance and that the flashing of swords and halberds and the glitter and the swagger of the whole parade is good to see. Edward might take it to mean loyalty to him, but it is merely the exuberance of children of a larger growth. Let Whit el aw be there and ■ay something nice lor us, some thing polite, something that will tend toward peace and good will. It ia not oar business if the English people hare not all fol lowed our example. As long as they want a form of government •aca as they have now there is no call for as to get up and say that they are strong and that the government they am pleased to accept ia not the mat thing, as ia ours. Leave them atone to find it out. It ia nothing more than a cir cus to us. Some of the more humble of us would gaze at Ed ward end pronounce him guilty of making e holy show of him self. Mr. Jearns De La Pluche would have a lot of fun reporting the show if be stem alive to-day, and we doubt not, from his pest utterances, that his comments would make even the king feel foolish, although, as yon know, Jearn* sraa of Norman ancestry. Edward may be a pretty de cent sort of chap and, after all, may be just the kind of a fellow you or 1 would be calling Ed after a taro hours’ acquaintance. People of all nations still see Ms circa* and when he rolls by they still crane their necks )ast as the children do when the nurses solemnly announce that the blood assenting hippopota mus is about to pass.

Fearlal Beet* sla hm Readers of this paper trill remember seeing in its columns, about s mouth ago, an item to tbe effect that Willie Lentz, the 19 year-old son of Mr. F. X. Lentz, of Cedar Hill, had been bitten by a mad dog. The dog also bit a hone, three cowa and two hogs, the property of Mr. Lents. Willie was bitten on the heel, through his stocking—he had on low-quartered shoes. The bite was not severe and soon healed. The bite on the horse, cowa and bogs also healed all right. On Sunday, the 11th mat., the horse first showed 'signs of being unwell, but at first there did not appear to be much wrong with it. On Wednesday the place on the hone’s cbm, where it had been bitten by the dog, began to inflame aad swell and from that time the horse grew rapidly worse, until it died Saturday. For some time before it died the horse had one convulsion after another. It won Id jump straight up aad fall to the ground on Ha back and while lying in this position would tear tbe flesh bom its side, flanks and legs. The flesh sms torn bom Its legs to tbe bone. It would also bite and snap at everything in reach; several of its teeth being broken out by coming in contact with rocks and the logs of which its stable sms built. As yet only one of tbe hogs that sms bitten has died. The hog did not appear to be vie ions like tbe horse, but would go into convulsions every time any thing approached It. Bven a chicken coming near its pan would cause h to have a fit. None of the costs have died, but two of them were showing evidence of being unwell Tues day. As soon as Mr. Lentz dis covered that the horse had hydrophobia he aent bis son to Baltimore for treatment in the Pasteur Institute of that city. The young man was taken to Norwood Friday where he took tbe train for Baltimore. He mV jev. JL^Dtiy cm concord. Win Stay Up Hast Time. Wllalastoa VtiMm lluK.
