DR.. j. A. Hammock, of Fort Worth,
Texas, who was born and reared in this
county and who has a brother, Mr.. r.
A. Hammock, living a few miles west
of Scooba, was here during the holiday
week, whiting relatives and greeting
old friends. 1t is rumored, however,
that something else than the desire to
see relatives and old friends lured the
ductor from his far western home back
to the classic hills and valea of old
Kemper, and that bright eyes and sml!>
ing lips had much to do with it. All,
well, that's all right, doctor; we wish
you success in yonr wooing. And may
long life, happiness and prosperity be
your portion, if you get her.
We had a very pleasant call yesterday
from our good friend Mr.. A. G. Hardin,
who had been over to Dekalb arrang-
ing the matter of his bond as Beat Com

We are informed that a colored wo-
man, Rehecca Parker, is sick with the

thing ought to be done to prevent its
spread within the limits of the town,
and that at once.

BRITONS. And AMERICANS
ARE CRITICISED

TIEN-TSIN, March 15.-The haste of the
British and American gunboats to leave
Nieu-Chwang while the intentions of the
japanese are unknown, and while consular
jurisdiction and the full treaty ports rights
OF neutrals are unquestioned, thus prema-
turely abandoning the protection heretofore
maintained, has provoked the indignation
of residents, and an official protest has been
made to the United States government. This
was done especially In view of the action of
the japanese in placing their consulate and
other property under British protection.
their example being initiated by the Rus
SLAMS transferring, as indicated in previous
dispatches, their extensive bank, consular
and also civil administration properties TO
the French, thereby rendering Russian,
Japanese and other interests alike neutral.
The protest was also sent because the man
that is understood as the American inten-
ton of withdrawal. are regarded palpable
neglect, inviting depreciation upon British
and American interests.
The British consul here has filed a pro-
test with Sir Ernest SatOw, the British min
lister at Picking, against the projected
abandonment of the Nieu-Chwang end of
the Chinese railway by its directors and
British managers. The reasons given
by the consul for his action are that
the British government had previously
made known its intention of protecting the
road and also that its abandonment al this
time means the probability of its destruc-
ton by the Russians, should they eventual
ly be forced to retreat.

CHINA PROMISES TO BE
STRICTLY NEUTRAL

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE State
Department has received formal assurance
from China that the government Of that
country will insist on the observance of the
strictest neutrality toward both sides dur
ing the present war on the part of Chinese
subjects. This assurance is in addition to
the formal notice of neutrality already
generally proclaimed by China 1t is be-
lieved here that this last assurance given
to the United States will be useful in
finally allaying the approximations expressed
by Russia that China would be led by
trality. Secretary Hay always has earn
estly advised the Chinese to adopt the
most stringent measures TO preserve abso-
lutte neutrality, and In view of this last
assurance 1T is believed that there is no
reasonable cause for apprehension remain
ing.
1t was said tonight that the additional
assurances from China were in response
to an inquiry from Minister Conger,
at Picking, who, under instructions from
the State Department, asked the Chinese
officials in a general way about the sig
niicance of the activity of the Chinese
troops on the Manchurian border. Russia.
Germany and France have felt some un-
easiness about the movements of these
troops, fearing that a junction with the
Japanese forces was contemplated. This
government, however. has not shared in
the uneasiness and the positive character
of the assurances that China not only
would observe, but would maintain. the
strictest neutrality leads to the belief that
the maneuvering of her army is for the
legitimate purpose of getting ii I'm shape
to put down any disorder that may arise
as the result of the war.

TOXIC, Tuesday, March 15.-The steamer

of the seamen who were killed in the Port

Russians the sailors sprang aboard the
enemy's vessel and met her commander
emerging from the cabin. Sailor and cap
tain sprang at one another, but the seaman
was the quicker of the two and felled the
Russian officer by striking him on the head
with a cutlass. The Russian endeavored
to rise but the Japanese sailor kicked him

say there were twenty-five dead on the

BREWERY BILLBOARDS
CAUSE WAR BY ". {. T. l..
Women Workers for Temperance
Object to Glaring "Ads." on
St. Louis Routes.

To wage a war on the methods which
the breweries are adopting for advertising
is what the executive committee of the w.
c. T. T., of Marion county, decided to
do at their meeting at the home of Mrs.
Margaret Smith, 1917 Highland place.
The method to which they have refer
ence is the erection of billboards all the
way to St. Louis.
The w. c. T. L. fears that these num-
erous advertisements of various brands of
beer will leave a stronger impression on the
minds of visitors to the fair than the at
fractions of the fair itself.
The answer of the w. c. I. L. of Marion
county to the committee of fifty scientists
and educators who attacked their position
in the teaching of scientific temperance is
now ready for distribution. In this report
ii is argued that alcohol is rot always
harmful, and in many cases if it is taken
moderately ii will prove a beneficial food.
The executive committee of the w. c. 7.
L. claims that the publishers of that report
represented large liquor interests, which
accounts for their sending il out TO the
public schools and officers free of charge
at a great cost to themselves.
1t is declared that Mrs. Mary II. Hunt
of Boston, has answered this report in a
very able ard lucid treatment of the entire
matter. Pamphlets containing these an
swers are expected at once and arrange
ments will be made so that every school
teacher may have one.

RUSSIA'S TWO FLEETS
PROBABLY NOT UNITED

PARIS, March 16.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of he Echo de Paris says
that rumors to the effect that the Vladivo-
stok and Port Arthur squadrons have been
united received with incredulity by the
general staff. The correspondent believes
that the rumors are probably due TO Vice
Admiral Makaroff's frequent sorties. He
says that General Zalinski Is now Viceroy
Alexieffs chief OF staff and IS acting under
his orders in succession to Major General
Plug.
There was an error in transmission in
my dispatch of March H." adds the CORE
spondent, which attributed 10 General
kuropatkin the statement that he hoped TO
finish with the Japanese before the end Of
July. What he really says was L don't
know whether any great action will occur
before July, but 1 hope 10 finish before the
end OF the year and leave the field clear

drawing UP of the conditions of peace
