Nigh nonors For Mr.. Long.

The Good Roads Convention held
at Tampa adjourned Wednesday to
meet in annual convention next year
at Orlando.
A whole flower garden of bouquets
were showered upon our distinguished
fellow citizen, Hon. H. w. Long.
We quote from the Tribune:
"The time having arrived for the
election of officers, President Long,
who has held this position since the
organization of the association five
years ago, arose and, addressing the
delegates, thanked them for their
uniform courtesy to him in the past
and asked to be allowed to retire this
year, as a special personal favor, on
account of the infrmities of old age.
But Vice-President Dickson, in a
speech filed with tributes to the hon
ored chairman, insisted that he ac-
cept the office for a sixth consecu-
tive term, and Mr.. Long was elected
by reclamation. He responded in a
few words of appreciation.
Secretary White nominated Mr..
! Dickson for reelection as -presi-
dent, and Mr.. Branch nominated Mr..
White for another term as secretary,
both motions being carried"

following from the southeast front:
after midday, Wednesday. the
japanese concentrated the strength of
all their artillery fire against Hill No.

Oring to break into our left. At the
same time they vigorously attacked our
west line to the right of the hill. At
tack followed attack for three hours.
Between 3 and o'clock in the after
noon we repulsed three headlong
charges against our line. After this
the japanese with the strength of all
their batteries opened fire along the
whole southern front, but this attack
too was driven back with what seemed
tremendous loss though it was inn
possible to tell clearly what happened
amid the shell fire and fighting The

and mixed volley firing went on until
darkness set in.

by thunder and lightning, broke, while

In view of the number Of men and guns
engaged the carnage doubtless will he
great on both sides The best figures
now are that half a million men with
about 1900 guns are fighting for the
mastery.
The crisis is expected, today. The
public is so hungry for news from Off
cial sources that the failure to give out
advices. last night. is interpreted omi-
nOuSly in some quarters, but it is eX-
planned by the theory that Gen. Kuro-
patkin is too busy in the midst of the

Russians arrested their movements to
the rear and again faced the Japanese.
With the view of eventual retirement
from their outer positions the Russi1ns
had dug a large number of pits with
sharp pointed stakes concealed in their
bottoms. The pits were artfully con-
cealed among the high Chinese corn.
When the Japanese charged after the
