The legislature ow being in session,
a number of towns will doubtless extend

many cases, for the reason that too

in western North Carolina with less
than 1000 inhabitants have about as
much area as Charlotte, with many

In many instances the extension of
town limits is for the sole purpose Of
getting certain suburban property on

The japanese attack has been a a

duty without regard to consequences
which mas seldom been witnessed.
There was no thought OF human life
on either side. The Russians idea OF

japanese conception Of patriotism was
to capture it. Neither side counted o z

At last, though, the beseiged were
forced to acknowledge defeat-or rath-

Of ammunition and Of men to use the
ammunition, had they any, to repel the
attacks. Those who had survived the
death dealing bullets and big shells Of
the besiegers were so weakened by con-
slant repelling OF attack, by day and by
night, by want Of food and by sickness,
that they could no longer resist. Fur
Their attempt to hold h fortress meant
wholesale slaughter of the Russian sol

weakness and sickness to resist the
charges Of the enemy.
These were the conditions which fore

too weak to resist. Humanity demanded
hat they should not be required to IN

the surrender.
