sSsaboard Air Line.
Why dont't the pubic spirited cltl-
rms Of Manning, and Caaredon county

be from Cheraw, S. c. to Society
9sgI thence Harssvii2e to Bishopvllie
Sumter. thence along the western
bsng Of Pocotaligo river TO Manning,
Iasnce 60 Charleston, and with line
of road from CcnwaF 20 Kingstree
fheneeRto Manning a vast territory
would have transportation facilities.
Thess suggested lines would traverse
sserrisssry rich in agriculture, ano
sinber and Wuald prove profitable not
aSI e % those interested as stockhold-
as bus would greatly benefit the sec
through which they might pass.
at sse business men of Manning,

Details of Battle Around Liao
Yang Still Lacking, but Con-
firmation of Russian Defeat
and Retreat Received.

Toxic, Aug. 2.-Gen. Kuroki has
administered severe defeat to the
Russians who defended ths Russian
east flank at Liao Yang, winning sepa-
rate actions at Yushulikzu and Yangsee
pass. The two places are 26 miles
apart but the two actions were fought
at the same time. The Russians held
strong positions. The thermometer
registered over 100 degrees Fahrenheit
and the soldiers suffered cruelty from
heat and exhaustion. At Yushulikzu
the Russians had two divisions OF in
fantry and some artillery and they
resisted the japanese assaults vigor-
ously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
on Sunday, July 81. At Yushulikzu
the japanese carried the Russian right
and left wing, but on account Of the
strength Of the mair Russian position
they were unable to press the attack.
The two armies rested Sunday night,
facing each other.
At dawn on Monday the japanese
resumed the attack and by noon they
had dislodged the enemy and driven
him four miles to Laoholing.
At Yangsee pass the japanese were
also successful Their artillery open
ed on the enemy and the infantry
moved forward from Makumeza. The
attack on this place was made at
o'clock on Sunday and by nigbtfall
the japanese were in possession of a
majority of the Russian positions, al
though the enemy had resisted with
determination. The japanese forces
passed the night in battle formation
and another assault was made on Mon
day at dawn. By s o'clock Monday
morning Yangsee pass and the sur
rounding heights had been captured.
Gen. Kuroki explains the slowness of
these actions by stating that the diff
cult topography of the battlefield
made it impossible to maintain good
artillery positions and that the great
heat fatigued his troops.
The Russian force at fangsee pass
was estimated at two and one-half
divisions and four batteries of artil-
lery. The enemy retreated toward
Tanghoyen.
Gen. Kuroki reports the capture of
some field guns, but the number is not
given. The japanese casulties are
being investigated.
