We invite attention to the notice of
Supt. L. w. Meakin, of the Fitzgerald
Oil Mill Co., in which he states that after
this date the ginnery will be run day and
nightin order to accommodate the public.
The ginnery is modern one with the
capacity of bale every few minutes, but
the demands on it have exceeded its
daily capacity.
Everybody seems to be bringing their
cotton to Fitzgerald, and Supt. Meakin
is determined to accommodate them if it
requires "A hours per day to do so.

ON RUSSIAN LEFT WING

ON RUSSIAN LEFT WING
FATE OF KURoPAT KIN S RESTS.
Toxic, September 10 a. m.
The fighting at Liao-Yang was
continued until late hour last
night. It was resumed at dawn
today. The fate of the great
bulk of the retreating Russian
army hinges upon the bravery
and fortitude of it's left flank.
Before falling back, Kuropat-
kin intended that his left to the
eastward and northward of Lao
Yang should be greatly strength
ened in the hope of checking
General Kuroki's advance around
his flank and to protect his line
of retreat and communication.
The greatest portion of this
protecting force seems to have
been massed in the neighbor-
hood of Beiyingtai, II miles
northeast of Liao-Yang, where it
was fercely assaulted by Gener-

practically continuous since then,
The Japanese have already re.
ported over $4,000 men killed or
wounded.
The chief of staff of the center
Japanese army, General Nodzu's,
telegraphing early this morning,
reported that the Japanese cen.
ter was continuing to advance
today with the object Of taking a
line from Shinchiyen to Lao
Yang, and effecting re-junction
with the Japanese left, command
ed by General Oku.
1t is reported here that a con-
fagration is raging at Lao Yang.
Toxic, Sept. 2.-The Russians
began to retreat from the right
center from Lao Yang early
Thursday. They we're thrown
into great confusion while at
tempting to cross to the right
bank of the Taitse river.
The Japanese, pursuing them
vigorously, seized Russian
cannon, which they used to shell
the Lao Yang railroad station.

attacked a heavy force of Rus

wards Taitseho. It is. thought

day morning. The result of
this fighting is not known. If
Kuroki wins and strikes the
flank of the retreating Russian
army and reaches the rear, it
will place the Russians in a most
serious predicament.
Yesterday the Japanese
managed to interfere. seriously
with the train service from Lao

gether with some of their own
to bonn bard the railroad station.

entertaining of Russian troops.
Fed details of the pursuit of
the Russian right have been re-
ceived here. 1t is evident that
the Russians are moving back
slowly, contesting the ground
and shielding their movement as
far as possible. Nothing con-
corning the actual occupation of
Lao Yang has been received
here. Official dispatches indi-
cate that the Russians were still
in possession of Lao Yang this
(Friday) morning.

Fate OF Russian Army
Hangs in the Balance
Practically Surrounded and Greatly Outnur1.
bered the Russians Fight Desperately
to Hold japanese IN Check.

Beyond establishing the fact
that Kuropatkin has withdrawn
the main portion of his army to
the north bank of Taitse river.
and that the action is still going
on, today's dispatches do not
give clear idea of the situation
at Lao Yang.
Accepting st. Petersburg dis
patches at their face value, it
would seem that the Russian
commander effected a partial
retirement, placing the river be-
tween himself and the main
body of the Japanese and at the
same time establishing a posi-
ton that will enable him to
oppose the force under General
Kuroki, which succeeded in
crossing the river and is now
attacking the Russian left.
The same dispatches say that
the position Kuropatkin now oc-
cupies is the one he had prepar-
ed and fortified and where he
has all along planned to make his
second stand instead of directly
in and around Lao Yang with
the river at his back, as has been
believed.
On the other hand, Toxic dis
patches say that the Russians
were closely pressed and much
disorganized in their retirement
across the river. The report
from Marshal Oyama that he
was yesterday engaged with the
Russian center would indicate
that at least portion of Kuro-
patkin's army is still on the
south bank of the river. While
it is not definitely stated that the
Japanese have occupied Lao
Yank, Toxic reports that the
town is burning. It does not ap-
pear that the Japanese main
army has as yet crossed the
Taitse river and the details of to-
days fighting are entirely lack
ing.
Oyama reports that his looses
from August % to September /
were 10000. The Russian
casualties of August 81 and Sep
tember 1 are given in official re-
ports as 5000 killed and wound
