The Holly chieftain., 1904-09-09

meeting WAS called at the office of
NJ. O. Coggins Wednesday morn
ing at which every association and
shipper OF this portion of the dis
trict was represented. The propo-
sition was that in order to relieve
the market all should agree to a
shutdown for three or four days
or at least shut of all pony crate
shipments. Some shippers said
they could not agree to stopping
but would watch the inspection
closer and cut down the shipments
to some extent in that way. Two
houses which were making a cash
advance on all goods could not
see their way clear to stop ship
ping. Others for other reasons
did not wish to cease shipping
1t being the feeling of the ship
pers that the proposed action must -,
be unanimous or 1t could not a.be
adopted, caused the meeting TO be
almost barren of results. lilo wev- q
er, thus much was Accomplished:
A unanimous agreement to ship
no cantaloupes on Watermelon

did decide TO stop the shipments
of pony crates, which Mr. Cog
ging says reduced his shipments

was the result of a row. preceded by
a long period of bad feeling between
the Duncans, who are prominent ma
val stores men and the Altmans and
other residents of Baxter.
Yesterday a large crowd from Mon
lac and Baxter went to Jacksonville
to spend the day. Most of the crowd
were in an intoxicated condition last

After the train pulled out from Jack

THE LooT1NG OF LAO YANG.
KurOpatllin planned to stop the Jap
aneSe and Turn the Tide OF
WEI Here.
(By the Associated Press.)

General Kurokis headquarters in
the field near Lao Yang. Sept. s,
Delayed. The battle of Lao Yang
was a magnificent victory of which
the Japanese have great reasons to
be proud, although they We're unable
to realize their hopes of another Sc
dan.
The execution of a campaign by
the Japanese on such a vast scale
against an army probably their SUI
perior in numbers and possessing
more modern guns of greater calibre
and range than theirs. and estab-
lished behind fortifications of great
completeness and unprecedented eX-
tent, and directed by skillful COM
manders, excites the highest admira-
alton of military critics.
1t is unQueStiOned that at Lao
Yang General KurODatkin expected
to turn the tide of war against the
Japanese. 1t would now appear that
the fighting of the last few weeks,
since the failure of the Russian move
ment to the South, was not expected
to be decisive, but was a series of
preliminary operations conducted for
the purpose of harrassing the Jap
anese and gaining time for the cru
cial struggle. The foreign military
observers with the Japanese army find
convincing evidences that General
KurOpatkin planned to defeat the
Japanese for the relief of Port Ar
thur, and they are of the opinion
that with the thirteen divisions at
his command, General Kuropatkin
could have accomplished this had the
quality of his officers and soldiers
equalled that of the Japanese.
Madness in the City.
The looting of Lao Yang has few
parallels IN the annals of warfare.
Three armies on three different days
had possession of the city and en-
gagged in acts of depreciation.
When the Japanese drove the Rus

town, snaring neither Chinese nor
European shops, destroying what
they could not carry away. They
Wantonly destroyed great quantities OF
FOOD stuffs and other goods, ripping
open bales, and boxes with the
ever ready bayonet and scattering
their contents over the streets. Mucn

but overlooked nothing. lnIs was
the first time in this war that the
Japanese were guilty of lootlng cap

much disturbed by the outbreak.
When order was restored the Jap

ties of supplies.
Food in the Chinese city is very
scarce.
