There will be a meeting on the
11th, tomorrow, especially for old
soldiers and others too, who are
interested, to take notice in some
fitting manner of the death of Gen.
John 3. Gordon, and of our own late
fellow-citizep, Major Fl. A. Meetze.
This call should strike a responsive
cord in the bosom of every old Con-
federate soldier and of every sen and
daughter of one who takes and in
terest in and feels q pride in the mag
nanimous sacrifices and glorious
achievements of those who fought
for principle under the unsulIied
banner of the Confederate States.
The meeting is to be held in Roofs
Hall, at II o'clock, and We trust that
large crowd will! be present. Few
of the old soldiers now remain, and
we should take an especial interest
in those few that are left. Cold and
relentless death is no respector of
persons and ere long the veil of death
will be forever drawn over their eyes
when they will have embarked on
the sea of eternity. May their
voyage be smooth and placid and
their final destination the hsrbor of
perfect rest.

Japan and Russia have gone to
war over disputed territory rights in
Corea and Manchuria. They have
been trying to settle the matter di-
Dramatically for some weeks, but
diplomacy failing they have resorted
to arms.
The latest confirmed report is that
a Japanese torpedo feotilla attacked
the Russian squadron at Port Arthur
and either sunk or greatly damaged
two battleships aud one cruiser.
It was reported later, but not con-
6rmed that eleven Japanese and
three Russian battleships had been
sunk. The town at Port Arthur is
said to be in flames and that martial
law has been declared there as a
result of the Japanese attack.

and all round good treatment. We
were reluctant next mroning to leave
such pleasant surroundings and face
the cold winds, but We did and
stopped next at Irmo. Here We are
always sumptuously cared for by our
old friend Elias Metz. and, indeed,
we would not feel as if We had been
there at all unless we were permitted
to erjoy the hospitality of himself
and family. Irmo is improving
slowly and her business men seem to
have confidence ir her future. May
she grow aod prosper.
After a pleasant and healthful rest
We drove next and last for Capt. r L.

was quickly despatche d and we made
for home with all convenient haste.
We were pleased to note in the

county the evidences of prosperity.

the full enjoyment of the realization
of high prices for cotton and all farm

We trust we may live to zee its full

drove for the town of Cbspip, where
we found q number of taxpayers
awaiting Us. The Auditor assisted
by MIR. B B Hitler rapidly turned
them away rejoicing. Chapip, we
are glad to say, is holding her own.

with their lot in life. Mr.. Robertson
operates a fine lumber plant, which
afords employment for number of
hands.

sons of the soil. The Auditor soon
completed his work here, and we set

As usual, this trouble was started
by a disagreement over some trivial
matter, which caused dispute and
ended I'm the white man calling his
red brother a liar. Throughout the
trouble the big Indian had remained
perfectly calm. although considerably
angered, and as the insult fell he gazed
Ncoldly into the eyes Of Price and said:
