War May Come at Any Moment

London, Jan. 1S.-In what it
claims as an authoritative state
ment The Daily Graphic this
morning announces that the
negotiations have arrived at a
stage leaving two points upon
which neither Russia nor Japan
is inclined to yield, and as to
which no means of compromise
have yet been found. Both these
points concern Manchuria and
their acceptance would not in the
slightest modify the legal status
quo, or change the administrative
situation in Manchuria, but Japan
insists "that they be embodied in
treaty between Japan and
Russia" while Russia, AS mat
ter of amour propre, "refuses to
accept such dictation at the
hands of Japan. Much, however,
still hoped from the czar's
influence"
The statement adds: "Of
course any attempt of Russia to
increase very largely her naval
forces in the far east by moving
her Black Sea or Baltic fleets
would make war question of
only "A few hours"
This statement seems to be
borne out by the Associated
Press dispatch from Toxic yester.
day that Japan had received
Russia's communication saying
that Russia would respect the
rights and privileges already ac-
quired by the powers in Man
churia under the existing treaties
with China, except in the case of
the establishment of foreign set
Elements, which show that. nego-
tiations are continuing on the

Cracked a Bank Safe.

Roanoke, Va, Jan. 16.--The
National Bank of Rocky Mount,
located at Rocky Mount, Frank
lin county, on the Roanoke al d
Southern railway, % miles south
Of this city, was entered by rob.
bers early this morning and the
safe blown open. The burglars
secured So, 900 in silver. A steel
vault containing 100000 in cur
rency and gold was not molested, d,
probably because the explosion
was heard by man asleep over
the bank and an alarm was given.
This man went in search of the
town sergeant, and when the two
returned the burglars had es-
capped. Dynamite was used to
blow the safe open and the re
port was heard all over the viii
lage. Several strangers had been
in town for two days, and it was
supposed these men did the
work.
Posses are securing the country
in all directions in an effort to
capture the robbers. Judge John
Wood of the corporation court Of
this city is president Of the bank.
The bank carries 5000 burglar
insurance. SO far there is no
trace Of the robbers.

Although slavery in the v ted
States has long been abolishe
there are still some reminders of
the institution in the south. 1t
is doubtful if the emancipation
proclamation of President Lincoln
altogether abolished the idea in
the minds of some good old south
ern families. This was clearly
demonstrated by the will of an
aged woman who died recently
in southern Mary.and. Before
the war there had been many
slaves in the family, and al the
time of her death three old black
mammies still remained of the
once large number. Her goodness
to her old servants was repaid
by lifetime of devotion. They
swore never to leave her, and she
in turn kept faith with them.
During her last illness she
made a will dividing all her goods
and chattels equally between
three daughters. Each of her
children got a barrel of pork, "A
COW, ten bushels OF wheat and
a third of the corn meal and poul-
try on the old homestead. Then
came this paragraph, eliminating,
OF course, the names Of the daugh-
ters
"To my daughter--I leave
Aunt Mimi to my daughter-
/ leave Aunt Jennie; to my
daughter--I leave Aunt Sal
lie. | ask each of my daughters
to take care of the old servant
bequeathed to her until the death
of said servant"
Each Of these old mammies
considers that she is as much the
property Of the daughter TO whom
she was "bequeathed" as if this
last will and testament had been
made in ante belIum days. and
no amount of "treedOm" talk
would induce them to assert their
independence, so strong is their

TEACHING OF AGR1cUITuRE.
ALI Honor to Hon. W. r. Painter
One of Missouri's Most Progress
sive Editors.

The time is probably not far distant
when agriculture will be taught in
every Missouri high school. At least
one fourth OF them now have some
form Of nature study which occasional
~ touches the field of agriculture but
only two or three high schools have
anything like a course in the subject.
Carthage perhaps has the best. Poplar
Bluff does something along this line.
But 1t remains for some school to put
agriculture on a par with physics,
chemistry and the like. Carrollton
appears to be moving fastest In this
direction. This week a representa-
tive Of the State University spent
three days lecturing to the students Of
the high school on agriculture. At
the close the citizens OF the town, the
board OF directors and the Superin-
tendent expressed themselves In favor
OF bring a teacher next year for the
sole purpose OF teaching agriculture.
No one will question that this would
be in the direction of making educa
tlon mor In line with the needs OF a
large number OF students who will de-
pend rather directly upon agricultural
environment for their livelihood.
Much education unquestionably un-
fits persons for tho life they are to
live. True, indeed, that education
should not adapt itself too closely to
the environment that surrounds the
growing youth but truer still 1t should
not hold out TO him purely ldealist
visions. More agriculture In the high
school would be practically helpful to-
large number of students. The
movement looking to this deserves en-
conragement.
The movement at Carrolltrn is an
interesting comment on the impetus
that may be given to this movement
by the local newspaper. To editor,
w. r. Painter, of the Carrollton
more than any other man,
is due the progress already made in
MS city. More agriculture ought to
be taughs ia the public high schools,
more editors like Mr.. Painter will put
t there.
