ADVISED TO PLANT COW PEAS.
Col. @. W. VIneenheller gives Timely
Advice 10 Planters In the
Overlooked District

Col. WIG. Nincenheller, director
of the agricultural experiment sta
ton at Fayetteville, has issued
the following:
ITO the Planters of the Overfiowed
District:
The disastrous floods have destroyed
thousands of acres of corn and cotton.
After the foods subside and your lands
are 10 condition to work you will doubt
less realize 1t will be too late to plant
cotton with hOpe Of profitoble results,
Corn, as you well know would make II
the season was favorable, of which we
have no assurance. urge you to plant
COW peas in large quantities rs possible (;
any variety you can get. In the absence
of drills SOW broadcast one to one and q
half bushels per acre, double shovel or
put in with cultivators, follow with
harrow and drag and leave land smooth
to facilitate cutting. Stock will do good
work on COW pea hay alone.
Sorghum is one Of our most valuable
forage crops. Sow early Amber, or early
Orange broadcast, two bushels per acre
Ground should be in good condition and
narrowed in,
These are both resisting
crops. Should your late corn fail you
could make crops with plenty of the
above feeds, Cow pea hay readily COM
mands II to sl5 per ton. Speak to your
seed dealers at once, so that If they are
not well supplied with both COW peas
and sorghum seed they can rush it to
you. Very respectfully,

Hope He'll Leave.

The negro Charley Johnson got him.
self into serious trouble again Sunday
afternoon. Officer Hammett was called
to his place on the town ditch by a
telephone message saying Johnson and
his wife were fighting. On repairing
there he found johnson in the yard ana
told him TO report at the mayor s othce
the following day. He scquiesced 10
this in needlessly loud manner and
Mr.. Hammett started to walk away
when he WAS informed Johnson had
been fourishing pistol. The otticer
then went back and johnson was told
he would have to put up $50 for a bond,
He then talked boisterously, claiming
the white people were needlessly meddl-
ing with his business, until Mr. Ham
NETT became so vexed that he gave him
kick and told him TO produce the
money or go to Jail. While getting the
money Mr.. Hammett noticed a small
valise standing near with several pistols
in it and Johnson kept edging toward
it, being warned to keep away from 1t
by the officer He made several at
tempts to get within reach and finally
Mr.. Hammett drew his gun TO rap him
on the head. Then Johnson, his wife
and son all closed in on him, getting
hold of the barrel of the pistol. johnson
made several attempts to bite the officer
and did succeed in inhicting bruise on
his left arm. By this time quite crowd
had assembled and Jack Yaunts ran in
TO help the officer. When Johnson saw
he would be roughly dealt with he sub
mitted to arrest and both he and his son
Boots, went to Jail, Tuesday he
was srraigned in the mayor 8 office and
fined on two charges of disturbing the
peace, the fines and costs amounting tc
S42. 80.
There was no law under which the
city could make case Of resisting an
officer against him.
Now johnson is talking Of leaving
Van Buren, something that is greatly
to be wished for

ALEXIEFF APPEALS
TO THE PATRIOTISM
OF RUSSIAN FORCES

PORT ARTHUR, Tuesday, Feb. 16.-
The text of the order of the day issued
TO the troops by Admiral Alexieff to-
day follows:
"A heroic army and fleet have been
intrusted to me by his Majesty the
Emperor, and now, when the eyes of
the Car Of Russia and of the world
are upon US, we must remember that
it is our sacred duty to protect the
Car and the fatherland. Russia is
great and powerful and if our foe is
strong this must give US additional
strength and power to fight him. The
spirit Of the Russian soldiers and sail
ors is high. Our army and navy know
many renowned names which must in
this hour serve as an example to us.
Our God, who has always upheld the
cause that is just, is doing so now.
Let us unite for the coming struggle;
let every man be of tranquil mind in
order the better to fulfill his duty,
trusting in the help Of the Almighty,
and let every man perform his task.
remembering that prayer to God and
service TO the Emperor are never
wasted
Long live the Emperor and the
fatherlandl God be with us. Hurrah!'
Troops are arriving here continuous
ly and the mobilization of the forces
is making excellent progress. The for
tress is now thoroughly prepared to
Withstand a siege and is regarded as
inaccessible.

SPEAKS IN PRAISE
OF THE SYSTEMATIC
METHODS OF JAPAN

w. MeC Osborne. collector OF Gus
toms Of the port Of Fusan. Korea, has
been a guest at the Palace Hotel for
several days. He left the Orient about
two months ago owing to ill-health
and after a three weeks stay at ST.
Helena he has returned TO this city
to await the sailing Of the next steamer
for the Orient Osborne has been in
the Orient for many years and was
formerly connected with the Chinese
customs service. being transferred to
ChemulpO as collector of customs dur
ing China's suzerainty over Korea and
later was sent in similar capacity to
Fusan. After the Japanese Chinese
war he entered the Korean customs
service and has since 0ficiated at the
last named port. In discussing the
present war last evening Osborne said:
we have known for more than two
years that Japan was looking forward
TO war with Russia anG quietly pre-
pairing for an expected hard strife At
Fusan the majority OF the population
is japanese by several thousand, the
foreign representatives numbering only
fifty or sixty. Japan has evidently set
tied on Fusan for a base. The harbOr
is magnificent one. being able TO shell
ter twenty or thirty men Of war. The
Japanese have long maintained a gar
risOn there OF about $50 men under the
provisions of the Russian-Japanese
agreement, and some years ago Japan
also estab blished eCaling station there.
AS far back as three years Japan was
anticipating trouble with Russia by
rushing through the railroad between
Seoul and the port of Fusan. a distance
of 270 miles. Constructive work was
begun at both ends and thirty miles
of road have already been built in the
two directions.
In Fusan the sentiment Of both the
japanese and other foreigners is natur-
ally in favor of the little brown men,
whom we have expected would readily
defeat the Russians on the sea and give
them a hard battle on land. We have
expected a long war, but at times We
have questioned Japans ability to ul-
timately hold her position.
THE cablegrans of this morning de-
scribing Japan's transportation of large
bodies of troops by water is no surprise
to those who are acquainted with her
transport service as 1 am. really be-
Iieve that she has the best service OF

BERLIN, Feb. 17.-The German Ad-
miralty discredits the reports that the
japanese fired on the German gun
boats Hansa, Thetis OF any other Ger
man war vessel in Far Eastern waters.
The Hansa is at Tsingtau and the The
It's at Chefu. The regular reports Of
their movements TO the admiralty
make no mention of such an incident.
If it occurred it is assumed to have
been an excusa BILE mistake.
The Marine Rundschau, the semi-offi-
cial publication of the Admiralty. has
issued the first Of a series of pamphlets
designed TO keep German naval officers
informed as TO what is occurring in the
Far9 East and the meaning thereof.
After reciting the preparations on both
sides and giving official estimates Of
the strength of the fleets, the Marine
Rundschau says:
THE Russians fired the first shot
from the Korietz. doubtless because the
japanese torpedo-boat were creeping
near. The Russian Port Arthur squad
ron relied too much on protective nets
and obviously was surprised The
commander mace a serious blunder in
having two ships at Chemulpo and one
at Chefu, separated from the main
body. If these ships were sent to OBJ
serve the japanese they did it badly.
When the japanese squadron with

KOREAN GOVERNMENT
OPENS PORT OF WIJU
TO WORLDS TRADE

WASHINGTON, Feb. .17.-Ameriean
Minister Allen, at Seoul, cables the
State Department that Win has been
declared open TO the commerce of the
world by the Korean Government
The United States was the first pow
er, so far as known, to apply to the
Korean Government for the opening of
Wiju to the worlds trade. This action
was taken while Japan and England
were urging the opening of Yongam-
pho. lying at the mouth of the Yalu
River on the Korean side The view
taken by the State Department was
that If We could secure the opening Of
Wiju, $50 miles up the Yalu above Yon-
sampho, the effect would be to prac-
tically open the whole stretch of that
