General beiIet at Russian Capital
That Retreat Has Beuun.

That Retreat Has Begun.
st. Petersburg, March S.-That the
battle of Mukden will go down in his
tory with Lao Yang in the long list
of Russian defeats Is the almost uni.
versal bclicf in possimistic ST. Peters
burg, which has forgotten the mean
ing Of the word victory. The war of
fee does not admit that the issues Of
the great battle, which already ex-
ceedS in magnitude of operations and
losses that of Shakhc, has been de-
cided, although it Is positively said
In high quarters that K%ouropatkin has
telegrapECd to Emperor Nicholas that
II will be impossible to hold Mukden
and that the withdrawal OF the army
%northward has already been begun.
Advices to St. Petersburg newspa-
pers and dispatches to the Associated
Press Indicated that the position of
the Russian army after n day of furi.
Gus and unprecedented fighting is des-
peratc. but not absolutely hopeless.
Everything probably now depends on
General kouropatkln's reserves.

was practically holding all his posi-.
tons. At the same time he was draw
ing in and shortening his line to the
southeast.
According to reports all the concen.
trated attacks OF the Japanese to the
westward failed. and the effort Of
Generals Nogi and Oku to push the
encircling movement north and east
ward across General Kouropatkin's
line of communications was blocked.
Reports, however, are conflicting.
One correspondent telegraphs of hear
ing firing to the northward, toward
Tie pass, which may be between Cos
sacks and a flying column of Japanese.
General ~Kouropatkin has been con.
filming his strategy, as at Lao Yang,
to meeting the attacks OF the Japa-
nese AMI accepting battle at places
chosen by Field Marshal Oyama.
Both sides are terribly exhausted by
ten days of continuous fighting. and
all the correspondents at the front
intimate that the issue must be def
nitely decided today.
At the military clubs here General
K%ouropatkin is already regarded as
beaten, the only question being his
ability to execute a retreat. Those
who believe there is still a chance
of actual Russian victory are few and
far between. The majority regard the
fighting as in reality a rear guard &C
ton.
Politically the result may determine
the question Of continued prosecution

Annual Debate at Auburn.

Auburn, December 1.-(SpeciaI.)-One Of the most entertaining and instructive exercises held at the college during the present session was the annual debate be- tween the Wirt and Websterian Literary societies last Friday night. On account or the rain the audience was small. but the members of the two societies were in attendance and manifested enthusiasm and interest in the debate All the speeches were well written and each par ticipant did his part very creditably.
 The subject of debate was, Resolved. That the Panama Route for a Canal Is Preferable to That of Nicaragua" The af- frmative was represented by Roy Hender- son Liddell of Wilcox county and James Alto York of Wilcox county. of the Web sterian society. The negative was repre- sented by William Lewis Perdue of Butler county and Norman Burns Mcleod of Clarke county, of the Wirt society.
 The meeting was presided over by MT. M. A. Frazer, president of the Websterian society Music for the occasion was made by the college orchestra. composed of Messrs. Fullan. Thomas, Sanford, Davis. Black and Burgess.
 The committee of judges. composed of the Rev. c. c. Pugh, Prof. A. Bogard and Dr. C. s. Yarbrough, rendered the de- cision in favor of the negative.

THE VALUE OF BEER The Essentials of Quality and Health
 fitness.

Experience has shown that the prime requisites of a really good bear are three in number-superiority of the materials, treatment in the brewing and proper maturing of ageing before marketing.
 Perhaps first of importance Is the nature and character of the materials used. The Anheuser- Busch Brewing association. whose product Budweiser, has come to be considered as standard from which quality is to be judged, have found that materials of the very highest quality only can be used If really good beer Is to result They have found also. that of all materials permissible in brewing, only the best quality barley-malt, the choicest grade of hops, superior quality yeast, with perhaps a small percentage of the best rice can be depended upon to produce a beer of the highest degree of quality, flavor and palatability.
 generally admitted among brewers that to produce a beer of excellence, expensive modern methods of brewing must be followed and the most rigid sanitary pre- cautions observed at all stages. Cleanli- ness, purity and careful sterilization are considered vitaly essential by them in common with all good brewers.
 Anheuser-B Busch also contends that the exquisite flavor and acknowledged health- fulness of Budweiser is to be attributed, to a great extent, to their extreme care in maturing and ageing. Their storage capacity of over 6OO00O barrels makes it unnecessary for them to market their product until properly aged, and in conse- quence 1t possesses to the greatest de- gree the quality, mellowness and flavor which has caused Budweiser to be termed by those who know, "The King of Bot tied Beers''

prohibition plan has been tried twice with very unfavorable results, so the present 6 o'clock closing law is considered some what of a compromise between that and a dispensary, which is looked upon with disfavor by most of the citizens
 The o'clock law will also affect the pool room. which Is operated in con junction with the saloon, and it seems that this fact has largely increased the opposition to the ordinance, which is be- ing attacked from every side. However. 1t is said to be fully covered by authori- ty of the city charter, and bids fair to hold
 At the meeting of the council 2. L. Bur ton, d part owner of the saloon, addressed the body, stating that if the ordinance was passed it would deprive him of half of his trade, and in the event of it's eff fective continuation he would not take out license for another year The main speakers in favor of the ordinance were J. H. Morse, nrofessor of manual train ing at the State Normal school, and Dr. w. B. Asbery, member of council. Their strongest arguments were in behalf of the youth of the city, the negroes, and visiting farmers, whom, they said, are badly affected by the night operation of the saloon.
 Another item of interest connected with the council meeting was the appointment of committee consisting of Councilmen J. D. Hammond, J. r. Crow and J. b. Crow, to act in conjunction with the local chapter, U. D. C., for the purpose of deciding upon the manner of expendi- ture of the fund recently appropriated by the council for the Identification ana general improvement of the city.
 Inc .iat ion iQ tn ha knnyUn town improvement fund, and the original appropriation of $50 Is merely a nest egg. it being the intention of the council to regularly increase 1t in proportion to the condition of the city treasury. Possibly the first work undertaken will be the leveing of the town square and the con struction of a modern chert road, to be supplemented by the erection in the center of the square of a monument to the Con- federate soldiers or to the ladies of the Confederacy, in accordance with the sug- gestion recently made by Senator John T.. Morgan.
 Other improvements in prospect are the establishment of a park around the large town spring. and the exercise of pressure upon the property owners anent the de- struction of the several old frame builo- ings on the west side of the town square for the erection of modern brick or stone structures in their place.
 The ladies of the local chapter, U. D. C.. have just erected a monument to the memory of Maj. John Pelham, and they seem very enthusiastic over this new ave- nue work now opening for them.

Montgomery, December 11.-(Special.)- Dr. Thomas M. Owen, president of the Alabama Library association, is greatly pleased with the meeting of southern library workers in Atlanta last week. He IS quite confident that the result will be to the great advantage of the cause in the states where good work is needed It was developed at the meeting that new attention is given to rural needs and the demands of the colleges of higher education. The time is quite here he thinks, when the larger schools and col leges must be thoroughly equipped in tories.
 Alabama is able to make fine showing for Carnegie grants, with nine established and three on the way. These latter are at the university, the state polytechnic at Auburn, and the university all of which are getting ready to accept the terms by which the institution can be secured. Dr. Owen Is very much of an enthusiast on the Carnegie plan, as 1t never fails to stir up the community to better and more general and lasting effort
 Atlanta made the stay of the librarians pleasant, says Dr. Owen, and there was full demonstration of that generous hospitality for which the Gate City is noted. Locally the library work has made giant strides in Atlanta The enthusiasm of the city has gone out over the state until the commonwealth is doing wonder full things in the service.
 One of the best things of the confer ence, thinks pr. owen, is the endorsement of the North Carolina plan to meet the situation in the country. There each school district may raise ten dollars and receive ten from the state with which to buy books. The books bought then be- come the property of the district school the same as the school house or the fur niture, and in time the system provides valuable libraries in every rural communi- ty, and makes 1t possible for all the child ren and students to keep fully abreast of the times in all lines of effort and study.
 pr. Owen will take the impressions of this meeting with him to the winter ses- sions of the American Historical assoca- tion which meets Christmas week in Bal

 She is not an evil, indicative of race suicide She is statutary step. She in- dicates progress. Marshall Field, twice married, declares that marriage is a good thing, If one gets the right woman.
 American bachelor girls are applying MT. Fields theory and waiting for the right one.
 In the so-called good old days they didn't wait. Hence the seed of the divorce evil and inferior offsprng-the genuine seed of race suicide.
 In those days they married the eligible whom parents selected or the substantial one. who offered a good home, in order to escape the awful ignomny of becoming an old maid. And then came unhappiness.
 But things are changing. It has been discovered that man in her life Is not to every woman, an indispensable attach ment

GIANT TREES TORN LOOSE.
Rushing Torrents Eating Govern
ment Locks i'm Kentucky River.

Louisville, KY. Mar. ia spe-
cial from winchester, KY, says:
The break in the Kentucky river
near Ford, this county. grows wider,
and a channel fully 100 yards wide
is filled with a rushing torrent that
is rapidly eating into the south bank
of the government locks.
Water has ceased to flow over the
dam, as the current of the river is
going through the new channel. Gil
ant trees of a century's growth are
torn loose and carried away. One of
the government buildings at the locks
fell into the river today and the 9TH
ers are in danger. Conservative es-
Inmates place the damage thus far
at 100000. Back water from the
dam at Valley View no longer ex-
tends to Ford. as the river has also
cut a channel through the dam at
that point, where the damage is esti-
mated at $4,000.
