JAPANESE VICTORY.
The chinese Routed with Great Less.


In battle at Ping-Yang, near the
Northern border of Corea, on last Sat
urday, battle was fought between the
Japanese and Chinese forces in which
the Japanese were successful and
routed the Chinese with great less,
whilst the japanese loss is reported

sit is estimated that 10000 Chinese
soldiers were engaged in the battle.
The Japanese captured immense stores
OF provisions, munitions of war and
hundreds of colors. The Chinese loss
is estimated at 600 killed, wounded
and taken prisoners. Among those
captured by the japanese are several
of the Chinese commanding officers,
including Gen. Tso- hung, Commander
in Chief of the Manchurian Array, who
was severely wounded. The Japanese
loss is only thirty killed and 270 wound
ed, including officers. Most of the
casualties among the Japanese occur.
red during the first days fighting and
very few were the result of the night
attack. The japanese forces are in &C

thrown away their arms and readily
yielded themselves prisoners. A desul-
tory war may be carried on for some
time to come, but, unless China shall
succeed in getting another army into
the Peninsula, Corea will undoubtedly
remain in the possession of the Japa-

The Creenbrler wv, Va Fair.

The Greenbrier Independent represents the
late agricultural Fair at Lewisburg to have
been in all respects success, the exhibit of
horses, cattle. sheep, hogs, poultry &c., being
very fine, and the races interesting. DR.. S. P.
Hite of this city, with his assistants, Cyrus
Creigh and J. T. Lightner, exhibited his pop
ular remedies.
TIL Independent says
''RonceYerte carried off the base ball honors
in every game, and showed the handsomest
boy baby. So the carriage goes to young Mr..
Nelson of that city. Monroe exhibited the
prettiest girl baby, and Mrs. DR.. Shields is the
happy mother. She took the little girl home
in baby carriage Lewisburg strange to say,
could neither play ball nor show pretty babies
What's the matter with the old tOwn?''
English settlers added greatly to the inter-
est of the Fair, by their race horses. The
Independent says
1.-THE people of Greenbrier, and all who at
tended our Fair last week, are ready, we feel
assured, to knowledge a debt of gratitude to
the Jolly, generous. whole souled young Eng
ishmen from Randolph and Pocahontas
counties, this State, and Bath county, Va,
who with their fine racers and skillful horse
manship contributed largely to the pleasure
and enjoyment of the Fair"
1t would be well if these Englishmen would
bring their horses to the Baldwin District
Fair.

Court at CraIesvIIie.

Saturday the 18th inst, Justice j. E. Craig
held his regular monthly court. On his
docket were two cases of assault one dis
turbance during religious exercises one of
unlawful gate-opening and turning-in of
stock; and one of damage to crop by stock
The cases of assault were not sustained, and
parties were each required to pay half the
costs, and all bound over to keep the peace
for six months. Four small children were
introduced, who were questioned as to their
knowledge of right and wrong, and the nature
of an oath. Mr.. Craig decided their evidence
inadmissable, and had them stand aside,
much to the qualification of their parents
One addressing the Justice feelingly said
Squire, she don't know" Another re-
marked to one present, Il never was gladder
in my life than when he refused to swear my
little children"
A small boy was fined one dollar and costs
for throwing stones into the water and making
jesting remarks while the Baptist minister
was immersing some converts.
One neighbor was fined five dollars for
opening gate and turning stock into his own
pasture lot in same enclosure with his own
and his tenants corn-crop. 1t was not proven
that any damage was done, though some
strayed from the pasture while the owners
intention was to herd them on it.
The last case was a failure to prove dam
age to crop, and was dismissed at costs of
plaintiff, after the examination of about a
dozen witnesses One witness would have
been fined if he had not satisfied the Justice
that he was detained by an accident to his
team in the mountains.

Facts About the South.

Mr.. Richard H. Edmunds, the able editor
of the Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore a
journal devoted to industrial progress, has
prepared little book, published in paper
covers, with the above title. 1t is full of
truth and just such truth as people who are
seeking homes and safe place for the in
vestment of capital, need. 1t is compiled
with conscientious fidelity to the physical
facts. 1t sets down nothing in malice nor
does it extenuate anything. 1t is a simple
photograph in words of the actual conditions
it deals with. 1t is business book. While
comprehensive it is brief enough to be read in
an hour and what it says is indisputable.
So says the Norfolk Landmark. We have
received copy, but have not had time to
read it yet and give the notice of the Laud-
mark, competent and honest critic.

| The report on corn is not clear. The cOndI.
ton is stated as 1874, compared with 691 last
month. I'm addition to the unfavorable
prospects arising from the low condition OF
the growing crop" reports from eight States
(enumerated) show 15,5O6,O0O acres to have
been cut up for fodder, or abandoned. This
may mean that the average condition applies
to the area after allowing for that abandoned
and cut for fodder, or it may not Iii means
| the reduced area. the indication is not over
lbs 900 900 bushels; if the full area about ],
1915, 100000 bushels. Just why such q report
should not distinctly point out what is in
tended is not readily understood.
The corn crop is so variable as to condition
that no estimate can be made in which full
confidence can be reposed. Nor can there be
any way of determining as to which of any
estimates that may be offered may be the
| nearest to actual production. Perhaps We
may be as near the situation as others, in the
intimation that the possibilities seem to be in
the region of 1000, 900 900 bushels with little
to support the view that the crop can essenti-
ally exceed this, and less of chances that it
can be proven to be only about 1,100.0O 900.
1t is not likely the average condition of the
crop has been lowered the past month. but
the evidences of deficiency are more plain
than then, and it is therefore in order to re-
duce expectations.
The South. including Kentucky and Ten
nessee. according to official estimates, produc-
ed about 535 ,OOO 900 bushels in 1884, the largest
quantity recorded, and this may be reached
in the same States this season, but will likely
not be much exceeded. The official estimates
for period of ten years previous to this sea-
son for these States have averaged about $780,
600, 900 bushels annually, and this is but little
if any below the official indication now for
these States.
The seven surplus States, as officially esti-
mated, made the largest total in 1889, 1,413-
900, 900 bushels, and for ten years previous to
the present season indicated an annual aver
age of LILO, 100000 bushels.
We believe the seven surplus States will
equal total of 100000 bushels, this sea-
son, compared with 1,O17, 100000 last year,
and an average 1,11O,OOO,OO bushels for ten
years prior to 1894; that the fourteen South
ern States will equal 55O,OOOOOO bushels
against 1901 900 last year; and that all other
States will equal $50, 600 bushels, compar-
ed with 122,00O,O 900 last year. This implies L.
4OO, 900 bushels as the minimum basis of
calculation this season."
