Profit o. Per Cent,

We cannot say it too often that the
farmers of Laurens should awake to
the value of the home market. Poultry,
eggs, butter, milk, all fruits and veg
etables. not 10 speak of beef, pork and
mutton bring double the prices now
That they brought five years ago. If the
farmers could produce these things
without loss at that time they can earn
100 per cent profit on them now.

The details of the action not known here.
but It is evident that the Chitose and Tsushima
caught up with the Novik yesterday. and that a
running fight ensued. The contest was resumed
and ended early this morning
Captain sukeichiro Takahasht. who is IN COM
mand OF the Chitose. reported the engagements
In brief telegram which reached the Navy De-
partment here this afternoon He says he first
attacked the Russian cruiser Saturday -aftsr-
noon. and that on Sunday morning he inflicted
heavy damage upon her. The NOvik nearly
sank, but she was beached at Korsakovsk. A
shell from the Novik struck the Bushima in a
bunker
Temporary repairs. however. rendered the
cruiser seaworthy, and she continued to fight.
The Japanese suffered no casualties.
The imperial Prince Yorihito OF the house OF
Higashi- -Fusini. Is second in command on board
the Chitose. Captain sento commanded the
Tsushima.
No further details of the engagement havs
been received here. The fate of the crew OF the
Novik is not known. but it is thought they aban-
doned their vessel and landed at Korsakovsk-
1t Is generally thought here that the Chitoss
and the Tsushima steamed in close to the Novit
early this morning and completed the destruc-
tion begun yesterday. A detailed report IS ex-
pected from the commander of the Chitose to-
morrow.
The news OF the destruction OF the Novik has
been received in an odd manner by the Japanese
public From political standpoint IT is highly
satisfactory. for the Novik could have been most
dangerous as a commerce destroyer. but, con-
sidering the matter from a sentimental stand
point much regret is expressed at the loss The
Novik had been splendidly handled and bravely
fought through the war. and japanese naval
officers and the public generally have frequently
