Tricks Of the Japanese.

Mudken. Dec. 3l.-Irrpiutable evil
dence has been received at head
quarters that the Japanese are not
only hiring Chinese bandits to oper-

enllsting Chinese under officers.
The Japanese are adopting cunning
expedients to defeat the surprise at
tacks OF the Russian scouts, from
which they have suffered much. They
coverthe steep approaches OF theil

Reports OF Burning
Cotton Exaggerated.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 29.-The reports
OF she burningcotton at Fort Gaines,
Clay County, Ga, yesterday were
considerably exaggerated. As a
matter OF fact, one bale OF cotton
was burned in the streets OF Fort
Gaines, following q mass meeting OF
planters, who passed resolutions
declaring they were willing to burn
their interests in the cotton States
At the adjournment OF the meeting
fire was set to one bale at the prin.
cipal street corner, seemingly as an
evidence OF good faith, ana the crowd
watched it until 1t was consumed
The burning was accomplished by
great cermony, and fallowed by still
greater excitement. Other counties
all over the State were urged to FOL
low the example that the market ma.
de rid Of the surplus.
There does not appear to be an.
danger of other counties in the Stat
following suit.

a GOOD PLAN.
Proposed AssembIage Of citizers
Should Meet General Approval.


1t seems that after many years of
drnbbing that the citizens Of this city
age 10 get together and see what can
be done to pull them and their gener-
al interests out of the rut than has
heen travelled for so many years.
A Call has been issued asking tho
business men Of this city to meet at
the News Office on Monday evening
The cal: is in the right tenor and
every man who has any interest in
the future of this city should be
there when the time comes.
The proposition is to organize a
Business Mems Association, the pur-
pose of which is to advance the ma
tural advantages that this city en-
joys and see what can be done t.
better conditions and bring new peo-
pie to this valley The object is
good one and the men who have start
ed the movement should be given
al the encouragement and help that
the business men can afford.
The Appeal has been advocating
this measure, not for a week, nor a
for the past ten years to get in line
and stay there. If the new blood can
bring any results SO much the better
and this paper will lend all the space
that is necessary and help any move
ment along that has the slightest
semblance to prosperity or future de-
velopment Of any sort and kind.
The Appeal has from time to time
| published a list of industries that
could be handled with a profit in this
city and would give employment and
pay on investment. The back files
will probably be of some advantage
/ to the Business Mems Association,
/ as al of the plans suggested can be
carried to profitable conclusion
should the citizens contribute even n
a small way to the launching of any
Of the enterprises.
The Appeal hopes the first meeting
will receive the attention of all the
business men and in fact everyone
who is interested in the future of this
| county Every man has some idel
to advance and out of the quantitt
there should be quality of material
that will make progress for the future
and start this county on the up-grad :
where it surely belongs.
