FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
No Way Out of Port Arthur, and the
Russians Will Not Yield.

Port Arthur, Sunday, Feb. 2S.-
Gen. Stoessel, commander of the gar
rison here, has issued a general or
der directing the attention of the
troops and inhabitants here to the fact
that the Japanese intended to land
and seize the fortress. The general
declares the Japanese consider the
seizure of Port Arthur to be a ques-
ton of national honor and from their
obstinate attacks and bombardmentS
of the fortress and bay he can only
conclude that the enemy will make
every effort to capture the fortress,
failing in which the Japanese will de-
stroy the railroad and withdraw.
THE enemy, however" proceeds the
general order, lis mistaken. Our
troops know and the inhabitants are
herewith informed by me that we Will
not yield We must fight to the fin
ish, as l, the commander, will never
give an order to surrender. / bring
this to the notice of the less daring
and call on all to become convinced
of the necessity of fighting to the
death. Those who leave without
fighting will not save themselves.
There is no way out. On three sides
there is the sea and on the fourth will
be the enemy There is no means of
escape except by fighting"
Notwithstanding the heavy gale
which is blowing the lights, japanese
scouting vessels were visible in the

ALL EYES ON PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Seem to Think That the
Stronghold is Impregnable.

London, March 1.-The Moscow
correspondent of the London Times
states that interest throughout all Rus
sia is now fixed on Port Arthur and
much speculation as to the probable
supposedly impregnable fortress takes
the widest range.
The publication of Gen. StOssers or
der to the troops, while it had the
effect of arousing enthusiasm in Rus
sia, has also attracted attention to
the tremendous strategic value of that
fortress and to the crucial part it
plays in Russia's plans for the defeat
of the Japanese in Korea.
The failure of the Japanese attempt
to bottle up the fleet in Port Arthur
harbor. while it evoked sarcastic COM
ment from the Russian press, as to
Japanese cunning and the miscarriage
of an enemy's plans, yet now the Rus
sian military authorities are pointing
out that this attempt having been de-
feated, therefore it must follow that
Port Arthur is impregnable and that
the Japanese can never capture it.
1t is stated in high Russian circles
that not only will Port Arthur resist
all attempts to reduce it, but that the
Japanese fleet will yet be destroyed
by the combined guns of the fortress
and the fleet.

FINISHED THE FLEET.
SHIPS DO DEADLY
WORK AT PORT ARTHUR
AND THEN SAILED AWAY UNTOUCHED
One Russian Cruiser Sunk, Another
Completely Disabled, Torpedo
Boat Annihilated and the Poor Old
Retvizan Plugged From Stem to
Stern-Port Arthur in a Bad Way.

Yin Kow, Feb. ga report was
received here late this afternoon Of
another sweeping Japanese victory at
Port Arthur this morning, in which
the Russians lost the cruisers Novik
and Askold, while the disabled bat
tleship Retvizan was still further dam
aged The report cannot be confirmed
anywhere, but is very circumstantial
and is generally credited.
1t is stated that the Japanese squad
ron appeared off Port Arthur harbor
al 10 o'clock this morning. There
were fifteen warships in the fleet, COM
prising the vessels carrying the heav-
lest metal.
They steamed slowly, in single file
formation toward the entrance to the
harbor, and, coming within four and
one-half miles of the entrance Of the
harbor, the leading vessel opened fire
with her largest guns.
The other ships of the squadron rap
idly got their guns into action, and the
feet, steaming slowly ahead and de-
scribing a perfect circle, fired shot
the harbor mouth, and the battleship
Retvizan and her consorts, which were
in the outer harbor.
At the Jap's Mercy.
Soon after the Japanese fleet began
firing, four Russian destroyers made
their appearance at the mouth of the
harbor, apparently awaiting an oppor-
tunity to try torpedo at the Japan
ese squadron. The latter, however,
concentrated hot fire on the destroy
ers, and they were compelled to put
back into the harbor 1t is reported
that some of them were hit, but moth
ing is known of the amount of damage
done.
The Retvizan presented fair tar
get for the guns of the Japanese
squadron, lying as she is at the side
Of the harbor entrance utterly unable
to move, and many shells were fired
in her direction.
In order to divert the fire and also
to be in a position better to use their
guns, the cruisers Novik, Askold and
Bayan put out to the mouth of the
harbor and began to reply to the en-
emy. The Japanese, putting in as
close as possible without coming di-
rectly under the range of the guns of
the forts, shelled the Russian squad
ron. While many of. the shots went
wild, a goodly percentage reached the
mark, and soon the Askold was forced
to retire into the inner harbor in a
sinking condition.
Torpedo's Deadly Work.
Suddenly the leading Japanese
cruiser launched torpedo unobserv-
ed and it sped straigh to the Novik,
exploding directly under her main
deck. She was so badly damaged that
she is reported to have sunk before
she reached the inner harbor.
1t is not known how many Of her
crew were lost.
The Bayan, left alone to defend the
harbor. soon gave up the unequal task
and returned into the harbor.
The Japanese concentrated their
fire on the Retvizan and that ship was
badly damaged before the fleet with
drew. At the expiration of two hours,
the Japanese fleet having performed
their task, withdrew in perfect order.
There were no casualties among the
Japanese.

Agricultural Yearbook.

The agricultural department o.
the University of Tennessee has is
sued the Yearbook for 1904 as No.
l of the seventh volume of the Uni
versity of Tennessee Recorii. The
Yearbook is more widely distributed
than any other of the university pub
hcations. This year it is unusually
attractive, and the various scientific
articles are well illustrated.
The first article is an interesting
discussion on Life on the Farm" :"
by Prof A. NJ. Soule. Prof. Soule
is probably doing more than any 9TH
er man in the South to arouse an in
terest in the important industry of
agriculture. He contributes largely
to scientific papers and magazines
and his institute work in the State
of Tennessee and elsewhere is we'll
known throughout the country.
The Yearbook consists of scientific
articles written by various experts
of the experiment station concerning
their work along agricultural lines.
The main divisions of the Yearbook
this year are: Agriculture, fertiliz-
er experiments and animal husban-
dry.
Under the subject of agriculture
are interesting articles on the follow
ing subjects: Selecting and I'm
proving Corn" by Prof. Soule (;
''Notes on Alfalfa" by John R.
Fain, and Rotation of Crops by
p. o. Vanatter.
Under the general head of fertil-
izer experiments are the following
articles: FERTILIZERS for New
Land" by c. A. Mooers, and Ger
tilizers for Melons," by Prof. Chas.
A. Keffer.
Under the subject of animal hus-
bandry are the following: TYPE of
Hogs" by Prof. Soule, and milk
Fever or Parturient Paralysis" by
s. A. Barnes.
The Yearbook is sent to the farm
ers throughout the State and to
those persons interested in the sci
ence of agriculture. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly valuable publication, in
asmuch as it gives the results of the
scientific experiments carried on at
the university farm, and enables the
farmers of the State to learn the best
methods as they are discovered by
the agricultural experiment station
staff. This Yearbook, together with
the different bulletins issued each
year, has accomplished good work in
the line of giving instruction to
those interested in agricultural pur-
suits.

Educating the People.

Rural free delivery of the mails is
doing a great deal for the people of
Benton county, especially from an
educational point of view. The
county is now practically covered by
the free delivery system. In less
than three months after the routes
going out Of Camden were estab-
lished there were over a hundred
daily newspapers taken by farmers
on these routes, who had never be-
fore subscribed for a daily paper.
Many daughters of farmers have
subscribed for magazines and other
reading matter. Since the free de-
livery system has been established
in Benton county several star routes
have been discontinued.

Maury County Magistrates.

Magistrates were elected last week
in the five civil districts outside of
Columbia, in Maury county, under
the redistricting act passed by the
legislature. The act was contested
but the Supreme Court declared it
constitutional, hence the election.
Chief interest in the election CEN
tered in the fight made by Mount
Pleasant to have the court house re-
moved to that place. The indica-
'tions are that the magistrates elected
will vote for Columbia to remain the
county seat.

THIS second Christian experience, this
i realizing not only that Jesus has
died for our sin but that we have died
with Him and have risen with Him,
marks the life of victory and blessing.
Crucified with Christ. On the cross with
Christ. All, Christian! do you realize
what it was that put your Lord on that
cross? Somehow you have gotten beyond
the cross. You realize that Jesus died on
the cross to save you. but now that you
are saved, you think of the cross and
Jesus dying on the cross in connection
with the unsaved and sinful world But
let us go back and look, with tear-dimmed
eye and humble heart, upon that cross
and as we contemplate it let us try to
understand it's deeper meaning. Let us
forget all about the sinful world. Let
us stand alone before that cross. 1t was
my sin that put the Christ upon that
cross 1t was my sin which He bore upon
that cross. My guilty soul was on that
cross with Christ. If it were not so how
can l hope or expect that my sin has
been atoned for? If there was any par
ticle of sin not on the cross with Christ.
then was it not atoned for. But it was
all there. Christ became sin for us.
Our sin was with Him on the cross.
Crucified with Christ. Then my guilty.
sinful, lost self was on the cross with
Christ. 1t must be there, if am to have
hope in the sacrifice which He there
made for sin. And if l was there, if |
see MY sin there on the cross. what does
it mean? 1t means that death hes come

claim salvation because of the sacrifice
which Jesus made on the cross and then

TO sin? They that are of Christ, have
crucified the passions and the lusts
thereof" The fact that we belong to
Christ declares that as sinners we have
been on the cross with Christ; that We
are dead on the sinward side. That is
the fact in theory, and then comes the
practical working out of that theory in
the life. A realizing in actual expert

theoretical fact.

Diversity of Crops.

The first organized effort to sub
stitute a diversity of crops for the
exclusive cultivation of tobacco to be
made in Montgomery county, was
inaugurated at a meeting held by
some fifty or sixty planters at st.
Bethlehem, at which the "Red River
Truck Growers Association of st.
Bethlehem" was formed, with FL. E.
Bryan as president, S.. j. Brown,
ice-president, and J. P. Bates as
secretary. This movement is there
suit of the present unsatisfactory
condition of the tobacco trade
throughout the entire dark belt, re-
,sulting in low prices for the farm
ers &or their weed. The purpose OF
the new organization is to raise
enough vegetables in the st. Bethle-
hem section to ship at least carload
Of same to Northern markets each
day of the season. Several hundreds
of acres have already been pledged,
and many others will be promised by
the planters interested. Another
meeting of the association will be
held soon to perfect the organiza-
ton. The farmers are becoming
greatly interested in the movement
looking to a diversity of crops
throughout that section and an
abandonment of the exclusive culti-
vation of tobacco. 1t is assured,
however, that enough tobacco will
still be raised to supply the demands
from the section.
