View Of War in Manchuria.

The consideration of the Russian army In
Manchuria by Maj. John V. r. Hof, who
was sent by this government to the Rus
sian-Japanese war to watch the progress
of the war and it's lessons from a medical
standpoint, was feature of the evening.
He spent several months with the Russian
army at the scene of the war, and his ol~er-
VationS were to the effect that Russia was
just ready to fight the war when it was
terminated at portsmouth. Mai Hofr had
the attention of the entire gathering while
he was speaking. He said that after he had
learned of the reverses Of the Russians and
had read of the conditions In the far east.
as sent to this country in news dispa tches
he had expected, upon reaching the front
of the Russian army, to find a terrible state
of decentralization and tnsanitary condi-
tons. 1t was with surprise that he looked
over conditions at the front All the time
the war was going on Russia was fighting a
retreating war, but was preparing her army
and her strongholds for future victories
The army was never routed in any battle,
he said, but retreated slowly for strategic
purposes.
The Russians were Just learning how to
hight the war he said Manchuria Is like

when the war ceased would feed 1 900 600
men for year. The conditions In the forts
and fortified places were excellent. espe-

war vas going on. The white uniform
which~the Russian soldiers wore at the be-
ginning of the war and which made them
target for the foe was abolished and all
the new troops were being sent out wear
Ing the khaki uniform. The arms of the
Russians were of the best make and Krupp
guns were being sent to them.
Transportation Facilities.
The transportation facilities along the
railroad were not as pictured In many news
dispatches, he said. The trains were being
run regularly and the quarters of the SOL
diers thereon were ample. The Russian
soldiers. he was surprised to find were In
the best of spirits. They were being fed
well and well taken care of, and were eager
to fight when the war was halted.
While so per cent of the Russians are
ignorant, the Russian is magnificent

men are rarely below six feet in height
tmitless in endurance" When asked why
Russia submitted to peace, when they were
just ready for war, he said 1t was sought

FAKIRs AT THE FAIR.

The following from the American
Farmer, Is timely and we'll SAID:
1.-THE great reform wave sweeping
over the country has strengthened the
hands of those long anxious TO ellmi-
nate fakiIism from our fairs 1t would
seem now to be an excellent time to
hit gambling a death blow and weed
out the worst forms of the evil which
has for years disgTaced our agricultural
exhl billions. Some of the State societies
have been great sinners in this respect
aad the average county tair is often
little more than an asssmblage OF
devices to rob the unwary and de-
moralize the young. Governor Hanly,
of Indiana. opened war on the oleagin-
Gus book maker and these gentry have
been put under the ban by various
county fair associations. The book
maker is of course, gambler of very
low degree and under the guise of
hoIseracing has become national
nuisance. He and his attendant toots,
barKers, cappefs and tinhorn swIndlers
should he fred into space by every
self e5pecting fair association, and
if, as they claim, horseracing cannot
keep up without them, let it also be
abolished. All the other forms of
cheap gambling and graft breeders
should be thrown out of the window
after the bookmakers.
The state and county fairs are the
farmers schools. They should be kept
flee from vice in all it's forms ana
made safe places for the wives ana
children OF the men without whose
patti onage they could not exist. The
fairs are permitted for revenue only
and are due to mistaken notions OF the
managers of these exhibitions, who
imagine that the money paid in to Sc
cure the privilege of robbing visitors
is essential to financial success. The
notion has often been disprOved, many
of the most successful fairs have Iigidly
excluded every form of vice and ques-
tIonable scheme to dupe the all too
suckers. We are now in the
midst of tho fair season and it is to be
hoped that from all quarters will come
the reports OF guarantees against the
whole breed of gambling sharks and
shoestrlng thieves They should be
c xteIminated like chinch- bugs and
other farm vermin, OF he driven back
to their holes in the city slulns out of
sight of all decent people. =

Nothing has more delighted the
parents of Columbia than the rule
adopted by the Military Academy re-
curing all pupils to sign pledge that
they Will not leave their premises after
dark. And the question has been
raised. why would this not be good
rule. for the city public schoolsy There
are very many reasons why this would
be good rule for any school, male or
female. One reason you perhaps have
not thought Of. it would prevent visit
ing at night. or entertainments during
the school months, or going to the
theatre, without the consent OF their
principals. And the reason for all
this is to keep the child at home. with
no one to tempt HIM, or her, and moth
ing to do but study. One child may
be inclined to study and at books, when
in comes visitor and knocks the
study idea out; with the result that
both children miss or skip their less ons
of the next day. One parent may be
firm and require the children to study
at study hours; nut another parent,
and neignbor aud friend of the first,
may be weak and vascillating and re-
quire neither obedience nor study.
The children of this last patent need
the rule to help them along in life. We
think 1t good rule for all schools and
all school children, male and female,
and we commend it to the Board of
Education for the city public schools,
10 tine Institute. and to all other
schools

though the Herald has all along told

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE

The question of mutual fire lnsur-
ance is one which is worthy of serious
consideration by the business men OF
this city and this State. The citlzens
OF Georgia have for several years con =
Quoted most successful Mutual FIRE
Insurance Company, paying az losses
promptly. and after setting aside
good size surplus and paying all ex-
pensss of operation, returning 20 pei
cent. of the premiums paid IN to the
policyhulders.
Massachusetts and other Northern
States have long demonstrated the
advise bility, entire safety and salts
factory quality of these companies.
The advantage is twofold-first. they
are a very good thing for those who
take policies in them, and, second.
they prove of value to the general
public in that they regulate rates and
result In a more efficient fire protect
ton, better fire insurance laws aud
closer examination of risks.
The Insurance companies now dong
business in Tennessee Will take almost
any risk offered them. Little inveltl-
CATION OF discrimination is made. Inc
local agents are naturally DESTROYS or
ma King their commissions, and their
object is to build up as much business
as possible, and the companies. know
ing that however great the loss, they
have the means to make 1t good ny
raising rates propoItionately 81 the
losses are. accept these risks without
much question hence il is that the
prudent business men and property
m
who are in ell things careful to pre-
vent tires, ana who consequently very
SELDOM have any, are the ones who are
paying for the expense of operating
fire insurance companies and the losses
of the careless and negligent whom the
companies insure.
If home mutual company would
operate to change this condition. 1t
would be of great value to every prop
erty holder in the State. The matter
is at least worthy of very serious con-
