Ing out of the capture of the American,
Pericaris, by the Moorish bandits, 1t
may become necessary to land marines

however. has not been seriously con-
sidered by the administration, as there
has been no evidence that such step
was necessary. officials say It has
never been contemplated that marines
should be sent into the interior of the
country to assist in the rescue OF the
captured men. They say marines could
not accomplish anything, because of
the inaecessibility of the country. 1t

Reached High Water Mark.

The legislature which adjourned
in March cost the taxpayers of the
State a few dollars. A few days
since Auditor Henry gave out
figures showing what the legislature
had appropriated and what it had
cost the State. The members of the
house drew $53,229 as per diem and
$3,6SS.40 as mileage. Senate mem
bers drew $16,881 in salaries and
S1,216.90 in mileage. The contin-
gent expenses Of the house foot up to
$9,25S.51, while that of the senate is
$7,971.77. The appropriations made
by the legislature amounted to $5,-
172, ,5s9.64 The legislature of 1902
cost $65, 5,566.43, while the appro-
priations were 1886, ,681.62. 1t will
thus be seen that the last legislature
reached the high-water mark as to
expenses and appropriations.

More legislative Nealect.

Another legislative bit of care
lessness has developed. Examina-
ton of the appropriation bills shows
that no allowance was made for the
agricultural experiment station to be
located in the prairie region Of
Northwest Mississippi. The legis-
laturc appropriated $4,000 for the
station to be established in the delta,
but no allowance was made for the
other station, and after it is located
by the board of trustees it is proba-
BILE that the station will have to be
supported from the Mississippi A.
and NJ. College appropriation. The
board will select two sites early next
month.

Attracting Attention.

Those who have come back from
st. Louis say the exhibit that Mis-
sissippi has at the Worlds Fair is
showing up finely. One gentleman
was particularly pleased with the
Mississippi cotton display. He says
the cotton display and the wood dis
play is attracting a great deal of at
tention. Mississippi has an exceed
ingly fine display in both these prod
ucts, in which the State abounds
The educational exhibit of the State
is said to be a good one also. the ex-
hibits from the graded schools OF
tie State showing up well with the
exhibits from other States Those
who have seen the Mississippi Build
ing say that it is one of the most
popular buildings ON the grounds for
visitors. They all desire to see the
home of Jefferson Davis. The build
ing is filled with interesting relics
of the great chieftain of the Confed-
eraey. This is the first exposition
that Mississippi has been repre-
sented in to any extent, and the plea
was made to the legislature that the
exhibit would advertise the resources
of the State. The State has spent
100000 on the exhibit, and there is
some of every product of Mississippi
soil on exhibition at the great fair.
1t is believed that the State will
more than get its moneys worth out
of the exhibit at the fair, and it will
probably be the means of inducing
many thrifty people in search of
homes to locate here.

which had been placed therein by
the chief Of police after his return
from blind tiger raid, as the safest
place in the city in which to store
the liquor. But Newton's police
chief was mistaken. The Jail proved
anything but safe. Some time dur

The runners on the fortified heights

The gunners on the fortified heights
were not slow in giving smart re-
sponse TO the Japanese attack. and
soon a vigorous fire and counter fire
was in progress, to which the big guns
of the Japanese squadon lent noisy
chime At six o'clock the atmosphere
had cleared up sufficiently for the ma
val marksmanship to work effectively.
For three hours the shelling from
bay and shore, replying from the forts.
continued without interruption, and
then the Russian fire abated.
The cessation Of the firing on the
hill was the signal for a forward
movement of the troops below. and the
attacking batteries changed their posi-
tions to secure better ranges
In the main attack the Japanese ar
tlllery continued shelling Nan Shan
hill. seeking to destroy entanglements
and otherwise clear the way of the in
fantry. but every time the infantry
advanced the awful Russian fire drove
them back.
Regardless Of Casualties.
In the meantime the Russians had
reinforced their right under cover of
two field batteries previously with
drawn from Nan Shan, with fresh in
fantry, whose fire enfiladed a consid-
erable portion of the entire Japanese
line
Very critical at this time was the
situation for Gen. Okns forces, for
which the wayering of the line under
the reinforced fire Of the Russian in
fantry came the reports from the Jap
anese batteries that AMMUNITION was
almost exhausted.
Gen. Ouk reports that he knew he
could not hope to continue the battle
much longer. so decided TO make an
assault in force, regardless of casual
ties. Then the artillery opened fire
with the remaining ammunition, and
the first division courageously assault
ed the Russian center, only to be beat
en- back.
During this time the fourth regiment
artillery had been pounding the Rus
sian left. Suddenly the Japanese
squadron began pouring shells into the
Russian left, and its noisy awakening
was succeeded by the onslaught of the
fourth division on the demoraized left
wing of the defenders, and the victory
was won.
beaten Forces Reiterated.
The beaten forces. badly shattered,
retreated toward Port Arthur explod-
ing the Tafangchen magazines az they
retired. A detachment of japanese in
fantry pursued the retreating Russians
far into the night.
Gen. Oku estimated that the force of
the enemy consisted of one line divi-
sion and marines,
Gen. OlSu telegraphs his opinion
that the Russians intended to check
the japanese advance at Nan Shan, In
order to protect Port Arthur.
Beside the big guns, a miscellaneous
assortment Of Russian property was
captured
Gen. Oku concluded his report By
heartily thanking the navy for its co
operation. The japanese captured Q
number of Russian officers and men.

WORKING THE CONVICTS.

The tents and shackles, tools and
team have been secured for working
the convlcts on the county roads.
Superintendent Dickens was instruct
ed by the county commissioners Mon
day to take the convicts from, the
county jail and put them to work.
There we're eighteen ready and the
work has commenced on the road from
Halifax to Weldon. That road is said
to be il Dad condition.
1t Is the desire Of the county COM
inissioners to push the work as rap
Idly as possible. Aud while the roads Of
the county are in bad condition gener-
ally, the work OF the convicts will soon
make marked improvement, although
it will take considerable time to work
the roads all through the county
The roads OF the county certainly
need improving and every citizen will
be pleased to learn that the work has
commenced. While the work may
seem slow at first, the new system de
serves to be given fair trial.
