THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Hon. THOS. C. Wilson Republican Candidate For Judge of the District Court [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache, facing slightly to the right.] TENTH YEAR Hon. Thomas Republican C Judge of the The Republican party of Sedgwick county is to congratulate itself upon the generally splendid set of men who comprise its county ticket. No convention could have made better selections than was done by the primary system. One of the most important offices to be filled on the ticket is that of Judge of the District Court. For this position the Republicans of this county were unanimous in selecting Hon. Thos. C. Wilson as the candidate to succeed himself. During his present incumbency of this high judicial office Judge Wilson has proven himself admirably capable and learned in the law, and without fear of criticism for any desire for applause, and without favor to friends or any effort to punish foes, Judge Wilson has executed and interpreted the law as he saw and believed it to be. In this wise the number of cases in which his decision have been affirmed by four state supreme court proves conclusive his wide knowledge of the law and has given it his proper application. No man can occupy such a position as Judge of a district Court with the large and varied legal questions—new and old—constantly confronting him and render any decisions without error, but the record will show that Judge Thos. C. Wilson was far surpassed the record of any other in this respect. Open, frank, untidal and to the point. Judge Wilson is a man easily of approach and friendly to all. No man has within his grasp a bigger, more tender, and kind "The black man's right to aspire to the highest dignity has ever been carefully questioned. The fact that the appositive power arbitrarily exercised its function and sent a swarm of black office-holding locusts upon the South argues nothing for Southern expulsion. The South was fully continuous of the enormity of the degradation it was sought to fasten upon her." -Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution (Dem.) DISCOUNT ON LYNCH ROPE. Mayer in Southern Democratic State Asks Cordage Company to Shade Price. At the annual meeting of the Plymouth Cordage Company at Boston, stockholder asked President Loring heart, than has Judge Wilson. He is one of those few men whom the longer and the better you know them the more you admire them. Judge Wilson estimates no man by the color of his skin or the race to which he belongs, but in his estimates of men he uses the same process as in his handling of the hundreds of cases which comes before him from time to time, and that process is one of merit, pure and simple. As an index of his standing as a judge it can as a truth be said that the Sedgwick county bar, almost to a man, regardless of politics, favor the re-election of Judge Wilson. No man has been held a closer friend and adviser of the colored people than has Judge Thos. C. Wilson. The writer plainly remembers that when he came to this city no meeting of colored people was considered complete unless Thos. C. Wilson was on the program and this continued until Judge Wilson went on the bench, which judicial position was a bar to his public speaking as in the past. For years and years in Wichita and Sedgwick county Judge Wilson, then plain "Tom Wilson," stood on the firing line as an uncompromising friend and defender of his colored neighbors. The same friendship, and kindly feeling for the colored race is within Judge Wilson today as it was years before he aspired for political recognition. The colored people will make no mistake by casting their vote for Hon. Thos. C. Wilson for Judge of the District Court. If the company sold any rope in the South for hanging Negroes. This stockholder received the reply that os an actual fact the company has received a request from one of the Southern Democratic states in the lynching belt for a large discount in price if a purchase of its rope was made for lynching purposes, it being argued that the publicity which would be given the Plymouth rope for lynching was worth a concession. A. J. ADAMS, Republican Candidate for County Attorney. A. J. Adams, who is a candidate for county attorney on the Republican ticket, was born in Mason City, Mason county, Illinois, 37 years ago. When he was 10 years old he moved to Kansas with his parents and settled in Cowley county, north of Winfield, where he lived until about twelve years ago, when he came to Wichita. He was reared on a farm and is closely identified with the interests of the farmer. Since he has been practicing law at the Sedgwick county bar he has gained the reputation of being one of the best and most thorough lawyers who practice at the Sedgwick count ybar. He is a member of the bar of the United States circuit and district courts, and of the supreme court of Kansas. His nine years of experience practicing before the supreme court of Kansas and the United States circuit and district courts and the district court of Sedgwick county equip him well for the position of county attorney. THE BOSTON EDITOR of Topeka, will address the Colored voters of this city on Monday night, Nov. 2nd. Mr. Guy is one of the most forceful speakers on the public rostrum today. Go out and hear him. Nov. 2nd. J. W. SWANEY, Republican Candidate for County Superinendent. Mr. J. W. Swaney, candidate for county superIntendent of schools, has a record of seeing more service in the school room than any man in the county. Educated at the State Normal at Emporia, he has the added experience of in all the grades from the primary to high school. Mr. Swaney is not a politician but a teacher, as his 25 years' work in the schools by the fact that he has been at Derby for the last 17 years and that at the last election he received 121 votes out of a total of 142 cast in his home precinct. Mr. Swaney was born in Ohio in 1860, moving to this county with his parents 38 years ago with his father, who pre-empted the claim he is still living upon. Mr. Swaney stands high with the teaching profession of the county. He is one of the candidates from outside of Wichita and deserves the support of every republican and every voter who has the good of the schools of this county at heart. J. L. LELAND, Republican Nominee for County Clerk. Mr. Leland comes pretty near being an ideal candidate. He combines with a pleasant personality, a record in public life that is irreproachable while his qualifications for the office which he seeks are not surpassed by any one who ever has been an applicant for the place. That is putting it pretty strongly, but close investigation will bear out the statement, despite the fact that he office has been held by some mighty good men. His service in the office of city clerk for the city of Wichita has done much to fit him for the place he now asks, and his close application to the business of that office, both during his two terms as clerk and his years as deputy, recommends him a worthy candidate. Jesse Leland was born in Chautauqua county, Kansas, February 3, 1869. He came to Sedgwick county in 1882, and resided on a farm in Delano township until 1889, two years after the elder Leland died. Unfortunately Mr. Leland is a cripple, and he was obliged to leave the farm and to remove to the city with his mother, that he might better provide for her and procure for himself an education which would enable him to pursue lines of business activity which his physical disabilities would permit. He obtained a place as janitor of one of the public school buildings in this city, and completed his public education while thus employed. During the summer vacation he succeeded in completing a course in the Wichita Commercial college, thus fitting himself for his first entrance into clerical duties. In 1901 he was the Republican candidate for city clerk, and was elected by the largest majority ever given a candidate up to that time, in the city of Wichita. He was re-elected and later was retained as a deputy though under a hostile administration. Mr. Leland's services as a competent and obliging officer are recognized by every citizen who came in contact or had dealings with him in his official capacity, and the same fair dealing is manifested in all of his transactions, whether public or private. Mr. Leland is essentially a Sedgwick county man, and his friends have put him forth as a man who is fitted for the office of county clerk. He is a man of family, his household circle consisting of his wife and six children. He is a hustler and a Republican through and through. He asks the suport of Sedgwick county voters at the fall election. W. L. APPLING, Republican. Candidate for Sheriff. An Ex-Union Soldier A Badge of Honor With pleasure we present the name of Mr. W. L. Appling who is the Republican candidate for sheriff of this county. Mr. Appling needs no recommendations to the people of this county among whom he has resided for the past 28 years. He is a Kentuckian by birth, having been born and raised in Logan county, Kentucky. Mr. Appling comes from a staunch union family on his father's side—whose union sentiment made it necessary for the Applings to leave Kentucky and go north where the elder Appling located in Southern Illinois while the subject of this sketch, W. L. Appling, joined the Union army in Missouri, where he remained till the close of the war. He enlisted in Company A. Eleventh Mo. Infantry on May 1st, 1861, served 3 years and then veteranized, and served to the end of the war—was discharged January 26, 1866, at Memphis, Tenn., and one month later were mustered out at St. Louis and went home. Mr. Appling took part in 23 hard fought battles and at Farmington. Miss., on May 9th, 1862, he received a slight flesh wound on the leg; was at the battle of Island No. 10 and New Madrid and in both battles of Corinth, Iuka, Miss., Sept. 19, 1862, was in the battle of Jackson, Miss., was in the siege of Vicksburg, for 44 days—was in the assaults of the works on May 22, 1863 when every other man in his company was killed or wounded. Was in the battle of Abbyville, Miss., also was in the battle of Brinville HON.VICTORMURDOCK HON.VICTORMURDOCK PETER H.

Was also in the battle of Richmond, Va., and also Mechanicsburg, Miss. Mr. Appling made a good loyal soldier and spent over four years and a half of the best years of his life in a successful effort to save the Union and if elected will make a capable and competent officer. He solicits the votes of all the people on Tuesday, November 3, 1908. Republican Candidate for Representative. Cliff Matson, republican candidate for state representative of the 27nd legislative district, comprising the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Wards of the city of Wichita. Has been practicing law in Wichita for the past eight (8) years and recently in partnership with Mr. E. L. Foulke, under the firm name of Foulke & Matson. He stands for all legislation for the betterment of Wichita and Sedgwick county. He stands for the amendment of the primary law, providing that candidates on the primary ticket cannot gain advantages by the alphabetical arrangement of their names. He stands for such amendments of the present law, providing for the government of cities by commission, that will give Kansas cities the best commission form of government, if any should choose to adopt it. CLIFF MATSON from the Eighth dis ak to the Colored Hall Day Night er 29th URDOCK R 29TH JUDGE E. B. JEWETT, Republican Candidate for Legislature From 71st District. Judge Edward B. Jewett, republican candidate for the legislature from the 71st legislative district has been a resident of Sedgwick county for 36 years and needs no introduction to the people of this community. His district includes the 4th Ward, 6th Ward, Rockford, West Gypsum, Wichita, Minncha, Kechi, Payne, Valley Center, Grant, Lincoin and Park townships. While Mr. Jewett is the nominee of the republican party, his candidacy is largely the result of the action of the business men of the city who concluded that Mr. Jewett's large acquaintance in the state would make him a valuable representative in case the state should conclude to locate a state fair at the next session of the legislature; the location of which proposition the business men of this city are anxious to secure for Wichita. If elected, Mr. Jewett will vote for J. L. Bristow for U. S. Senator, and for a Bank Guarantee act. Every voter should avail himself and vote for Judge E. B. Jewett. LEAVENWORTH, KANS.

Someone entered the Olden Drug Store Monday night by breaking one of the back windows and stole all the money in the cash register, cigars, tobacco and other merchandise. No clue so far has been obtained of who the guilty party was. The loss will amount to only a few dollars. That Judge Thos. C. Wilson is qualified for the office of District Judge goes unquestioned, and that for twenty odd years he has been counted as the friend of the people is a fact well known. Then a vote for Judge Wilson is a right vote. When you want cement stone or plastering done, call up new phone 127 and give W. L. Herman a chance. His work and prices are both right. Louis C. Wright held a meeting at the A. M. E. church Tuesday night for the purpose of organizing for the benefit of the colored people. In his effort Mr. Wright is certainly entitled to the best wishes of the people. CHURCH IN CLEARWATER. Rev. Chas. G. Cole went to Clearwater last Sunday and organized a Baptist church there among the colored people. He reports that the prospects look bright for a good church in that place. NORTH END MISSION CHURCH. The colored people of the North End have organized a Baptist church in the North End and will meet at the old fire house, 13th and St. Francis, every Sunday. Everyone is cordially invited. S. B. Kernan is the logical and proper man to vote for the office of county commissioner. G. L. Scott was very much plased this week by a visit with him from his friend, Rev, J. C. Rogers, of Pine Bluff, Ark., who spent several days in our city. Vote for W. L. Appling for sheriff. He's the man. James Maurice has bought a horse and wagon and is conducting a transfer wagon. The large black buggy horse of Al Covington died last week. He was a fine horse and we sympathize with Mr. Covington in its loss. Mrs. Mrs. C. C. Coffee left Wednesday for Pawnee, Okla., where she will spend a week or two visiting with her daughter, Mrs. James Gardner. M. E. Price, who has been quite ill at his home, 1420 N.

Funreal took place at 2:30 p. m. on Sunday at the 2nd Baptist church conducted by Rev. C. O. Smith. The deceased was 84 years, 16 days old at the time of her death. VOTE FOR APPLING FOR SHERIFF. The Republican candidate for sheriff, W. L. Appling, needs no introduction to the people of this county, and especially the colored people have ample reasons to look with much favor upon the candidacy of Mr. Appling for sheriff, than whom the colored people never had a better friend. An ex-union soldier, a splendid citizen, a man of integrity, will make W. L. Appling a winner. Every colored man with safety may vote for W. L. Appling for sheriff.

A representative number of the colored men of Wichita held a splendid meeting at 517 N. Main street, Thursday night and discussed the main features of the present campaign as they apply to the colored people. Every phase of the political situation was gone over carefully after which a committee was appointed who drafted the following set of resolutions: We, the colored voters of Sedgwick County, Kansas, in a representative meeting assembled feel that there is a time in the affairs of men, nations and races when a long train of abuses, political or otherwise, make it is necessary that those abuses be made public. For more than forty years the Negro race in this and other states and counties has been the steadfast, constant and loyal supporters of the Republican party of this state and nation—and as a winning factor the Republican success we have at all times remained loyal to said party—but as a reward for our loyalty we feel that we have not been accorded that political recognition to which we are entitled; therefore. Be It Resolved. That our grievances against the Republican party be set forth in the following resolutions: First. That we demand from the candidates nominated by the Republican party recognition in a substantial way; Be It Further Resolved. That we make known to the people by these statements that we do not favor the "boodling method" that has been in vogue among our people as an honorable method of political emoluments, but that something in the way of official consideration be given as a reward for our loyalty to the Republican party; Be it further. Resolved. That we make it known to all men by this statement, our determination to continue with the Republican party upon a fair and just consideration and adequate and proper representation. Respectfully Submitted, DR. G. G. BROWN REV. W. H. TILLMAN, Sec'y W. N. MILLER, Com. Chr'm. The following are among the representative colored men present at the meeting: W. L. Herman, Tom Glover, J.

The editor of the Searchlight has received many compliments from both white and black folks for the high, clean character in which the Searchlight has conducted its end of the present campaign. With the campaign now about at an end not one line of scurrilous mud-slinging yellow trash has appeared and it is our purpose in our concluding issues to hold our publication on the same high journalistic plane. This compliment is not one which reflects alone on us, but is also one which pays a tribute to the advancement of the whole race on line of improvements. With no desire at "tooting our own horn" we say our continued improvements in the publication of our paper in this city should make every Negro feel proud of our effort. We, however, realize that "A prophet is not withinout honor, save in his own country." BASED ON HIGHER GROUND. The colored people make a mistake by basing their claims to "equality," recognition," and a "square deal," on the fact that they are "colored people." Let us take the higher way and base our claims for all the privileges which other Americans enjoy on the fact, pure and simple, that we are "American citizens" and by birth and by alw—we are so entitled. An American is an American and the law should apply to all alike regardless to race. ATCHISON. KANS.

Taylor, the present clerk of the district court, is the democratic candidate for re-election. Mr. Taylor is making his race this year solely on the record which he has made during the two years he has had charge of the office for which he is again the nominee. When he was nominated two years ago, he had had no previous experience in public office though his training in a business way had fitted him well for the duties which went with it. He readily obtained a comprehensive grasp of the routine work and this together with the standing which he immediately attained with court and attorneys, converted him at once into one of the best equipped men who ever held the position. That is why a big majority of the men who have to do with the courts of the county, are with Mr. Taylor in his candidacy for re-election. Never, they say, have the accounts and records of the district clerk's office been kept in better shape, and never have the interests of taxpayers and litigants been looked after better. In both city and county Mr. Taylor is well known and well liked. His friends are legion and they are confident that he will be returned for another term by a handsome plurality. NORTH TOPEKA ITEMS.

Duncan returned home Friday from a visit in Texas having visited in Willis, Conroe, Houston. They report a fine time. W. A. AYRES W. A. Ayres, the present county attorney, has lived in Sedgwick county for twenty-eight years. He is very popular among the voters regardless of party, as was shown by his vote of over two thousand majority two years ago. He is a candidate for re-election and his record for the past two years on the several very important matters involving the taxpayers of this county, wherein he stood for the taxpayers ought to be a sufficient guarantee of his re-election by as large a majority as he received before. His ability as a prosecutor is recognized by the bar of Sedgwick county, as well as the citizens generally, and it is a common expression of those who voted for him two years ago, "that they have no regrets for having done so." The voters of Sedgwick county should certainly show their appreciation of what Mr. Ayres has done during the past two years by re-electing him with as big a majority as he received two years ago. JUDGE O. D. KIRK, Cadidate for Re-election as Probate Judge. That he has made a good efficient officer no one will deny; that he has faithfully, conscientiously and honestly discharged the duties of the office is admitted by all who have come in contact with the probate court during his term, and upon his record as such officer he now asks for the endorsement of the voters of Sedgwick county at the November election. Judge Kirk was a private in company E. 125th Indiana regiment and has been a member of Garfield Post for more than twenty years. He has been a resident of Wichita for thirty-one years. VERNON DOING.

Sr ‘When our balloon that sailed from ‘St, Louis came down in Delaware, and I bad bid good-by to the two men whom I sailed with, and they had paid me good money for my services and keeping them awake, I thought of that fleet we had passed over at Fortress Monroe, the beautiful white battle- ships, and I was afraid I could not get there before it salled, and secure my berth, as I had made up my mind to go with it around the horn, and help ight Japan or mosquitoes, or any old hing that came in the way, so I took the first train to Fortress Moa- Toe, and found that the whole popula- tion of several near-by states were go- tng too, as the president was going to review the fleet before it sailed. The next day I was at the hotel at Old Point and with hurdreds of other people took a launch and went out among the battleships, Everybody ‘was welcome to go aboard the ships, and we visited several of them and were shown all over the vessels by the uniformed packs. Gee, but a battleship is like a sky scraper on water, and you can go from the roof clear down half a mile below ‘the water line, and it is like a combi- mation of an engine manufactory, a voller plant, a coal yard, a wholesale grocery, a packing house, a black- smith shop, a department store, a ho- tel, a powder mill, a suburban trolley line, and a bargain sale of blankets, a state fair and a military encampment, and a parade ground, a county jail and an apartment house, with rooms to let on tho European plan and all of it in an iron coffin, liable to go to the bottom any minute, if the air tanks: are punctured. Gee, but I was almost afraid to be down cellar in a battleship without any life preserver, and when I went ‘ap on deck, where I could jump over- voard if she began to sink, there, away on top of the whole oid cook stove, were guns so big that it seemed if one got to moving around on deck {t would tip the ship over. It seemed to me like boring a hole in a flat iron and crawling in, and being put in a bath tub, or like rigging up a coal stove with paddles and outriggers, and paddling out in a marsh duck shoot- ing. i The first hour I was investigating the mechanism of a battleship and was scared silly for fear she would get ready to sink, and as I looked at the fron everywhere, which I had been taught in school would sink so quick it would make your head swim, I won- dered what my nation could be think- ing of to build ships of iron and de- pend on wind to keep them on top of the water, and I thought it would be ust as safe to cover an iron railroad bridge with building paper, and launch it for a trip across the ocean; and yet all the officers and men seemed to enjoy it, and forget about the danger, for they laughad and played jokes, and put on airs, and mash». the girls ‘who came on board as ‘aough they ‘bad made up their minds that it was only a matter of time when the ships would sink, and they eemed te con- gratulate themselves that when they went’ down with the ships a time lock would close them up hermetically so sharks and devil fish couldn't eat the ‘erew, and they could float around for all time and eternity safe trom the resurrection as they would be buried fn a safety deposit box in the vault of & trust company. Some of the jacks played it on me. They took me and wrapped an an- ora goat skin around me, with the hair outside, and tled a string to my feet, atid run It out of the breach of the big 16 tmch gun, and another String -on my legs, and they pulled me back and forth through that. 40 foot gun to swab it out, and when I came out alive they laughed and were going to tie a bag of shot to my feet and let me off a plank over the side to practice on a burial at sea, but I yelled for help and a cross looking man came along and pardoned me, and told the fellows to take me to his cabin and wash the powder off my face, and hold me until he could have a talk with me. When they had scoured me with a piece of brick and some yellow laundry soap, the man came into the cabin, and the boys who had hazed me said he was Admir al Evans, and I remembered him cause once when he was in the light house service he entertained pa and me on his light house tender, and held me on his lap at the New Orleans Mardi Gras, and I said: “Hello, Mr. Evans, don’t you remember little Hennery? T am Peck’s Bad Boy,” and he remem- ered me, and said: “What'n'ell you doing here?” and I told him I knew what he was up against, going around the horn, and to San Francjsco and Japan and the Philippines, and that I wanted to go along on his ship as a mascot, or a walter or anything, and he said he didn't know, but I would be a good mascot, as last trip they had a, goat and a monkey for mas- cots, and I had a combination of both, and if he was going to make a trip to hades, or any climate hotter than the straits of Magellan, he thought I would be all right. He asked me what I could do and I told him there was nothing that I couldn't do if properly encouraged, anything, from flying a flag of truce from the fighting top, to riding up in the ammunition elevator with 500 pounds of dynamite, to acting as the propeller to a Whitehead torpedo. We talked it over for an hour and he asked about Pa, and then he said he would think it over, and he gave me a ticket with a number on, and told me to be on the front porch of the Hotel Chamberlaine at nine o'clock the second motning after, and it a steam launch from the Connecti- cut landed there and gave two whis. tles, for me to get on board with my baggage, and report to him before the fleet sailed. ‘Well, say, this was quick work, and I called a launch and visited the other vessels, promising to be Johnny on the spot at the appointed hour. It was a great sight to see the re- view when the president came along on the yacht Mayflower and I forgot all about the battleships being of fron Hable to sink if the wind got Lout of the tanks, and was never so proud in my life as I was hen I saw the jacks climb up on the rigging and hang on like monkeys, lined up like they were drilling on deck, and when the Connecticut began to fire a salute to the president, out of those great iron sewer pipes, and all the rest of the fleet began to shoot at the air, the noise was so loud that it made your head feel like you do when you take seidlitz powders, and it gallups up your nose, and the smokeless powder made the smoke so thick you couldn't see anything but the president’s teeth, as he sailed along on his yacht, and I got so patriotic that the chills went up my back lke when you have the grip coming on, and then the smoke cleared away and when a million American flags were flung to the breeze, I begun to choke up like you do when you are sick and the callers say, “Well, brace up, boy, you may pull through, but there are a bundred chances against your living till morn- ing,” and the tears rolled down my cheeks, and my throat got full like I had the tonsilitis, and everybody else a) on our launch except two Japanese were crying, and then the president's yacht took a position, and all the bat Ueshins swung into line an marched past, and the bands playea and we all just bellered for patriotic joy, and I was so mad to see those Japanese standing there like bottles of castor oll, not even smiling, that T blew up a toy balloon which: I have been playing air ship with, and J whacked it on the head of the meanest looking Jap, and when it exploded he was the scaredest looking person lia ENS A gaae |) (Ds es IK fat > LAN Hw yh) ay When it Exploded the Jap Was the Scaredest Person | Ever Saw. T ever saw, because he thought one of those 16-inch shells had gone off in his hat, and everybody said: “Served him . right,” and then he laughed, the first time since the re- view started, and he wanted the skin of my toy balloon as a souvenir of the first gun fired in the war with Japan. From that day, when I had exam- ined critically our fleet and seen it salute, and monkey around the presi- dent, I felt so patriotic that I wanted to fight for my country, and I could hardly wait two days fur Mr. Evans to send his launch ashore after me, and I didn’t care if the whole thing was iron, that couldn't float under natural conditions and if Bob Evans should put oarlocks on a bar or rail- road iron, and put me on it, with or- ders to go sink a Japanese sampan or whatever they call their war ships, I would step aboard that bar of rail- road iron with a light heart, wave my hat and tell them all to go plumb. So we went ashore, and that even- ing there was a ball at the hotel, and all the officers of the navy were there, and the army, and millions of ladies with clothes on the lower half of them, and taleum powder and black court plaster on the upper half, and the way they danced and waltzed and flirt- ed and et lobsters would make you dizzy, and when Bob Evans walked limping by me, with a 200-pound lady on one arm, and a.90-pound girl on the rheumatiz side of him, I was so full of patriotic fire I couldn't help saying: “Hello, Bob, I will be on deck all right,” and he looked at me with an expression on his face that looked as though he had drawn a lobster that had been dead too long, and he marched along with his female pro cession, and the orchestra struck up a goodnight waltz, and everybody waltzed, and took some drinks, and went home to wait the sailing of the fleet the next day, and I went to bed with an order to be called at sunrise, so I could be om the porch with my ticket in my hand, ready to jump inte the launch when she whistled and sail away “for a frolic or a fight,” and J didn't care which.

Work of Chinese Girls Superintended by Missionaries. ‘Transmitting samples of silk and thread lace, pongee silks and an illus trated catalogue of laces, silks and. drawn-work from the agents of the Chefoo Industrial Mission, Vice-Con sul Ernest Vollmer of Tsingtau, re ports thereon as follows: With a view of furnishing home work to a large number of native con- verts, missionaries in Shantung years ago taught converts lace-making. The industry is carried on more or less throughout the silk districts of Shan- tung, the center probably being in the Chefoo district. Under careful foreign supervision these products have gained a very high standard of quality, and are comparatively cheap. A large va- riety of laces, collarettes, ties, man- tillas, doilies and drawn-work are pre- pared, mainly by Chinese girls, and sold through the mission stations. ‘Aside from the hand-made products enumerated, thread laces 21» also made, and a trade carried on \n plain, patterned and dyed pongees { t pieces. Retail sales are made to all arts of the world. An export duty of jve per cent. ad valorem 1s collectes on all goods leaving China.
