n rough shedding and many a

probability the constitutionality Of the
act will be attacked ard the matter
taken to the courts for final settle
ment. Although nothing could be
learned of a definite and authentic
nature. it is known hat the oppon-
ents of Greater Asheville' have not
yet given up the fight; that in a quiet
though persistent manner they have
searched the measure for flaws and
unconstitutional points: that these
features are alleged to exist: that

Dissatisfaction at Panama Over the
Government Policy.

The parSimOnious policy of the gov
eminent at Washington as to the sala-
ries of clerks, skilled mechanics and the
wages Of men employed upon the 18TH
mus. constructing the Panama cana,
is altogether wrong. The representa-
tives Of the war departments and 18TH
milan commission here should nave au-
thority to pay good men whatever
these can fairly earn. A stingy policy
will bring no satisfactory results; but
rather. delay completion of the great
enterprise. Men who leave their happy
and healthful homes in the north to
brave the dangers of life under new
conditions in a tropical climate must
be paid for the 5acriice as we'll as for
their work.
This is but justice as there are no
government pensions awaiting the
families of those who fail never to rise
again in life's battle with king fever;
nor for those unacclimated to tropics,
who become physical wrecks as d re-
suit of a seasons exposure to the 18TH
MIA mosquito.
The old French canal regime may
have been princely liberal upon this
point; but hat does not justify the
Americans in going to the other ex-
treme.
The pitiful salaries now paid are al
together inadequate to enable elm
ployes to 0ress with decency, live IN
heatthful quarters and eat wholesome
food.
We are not surprised, therefore, 20
learn that a number of young Arneri-
can clerks and not a few mechanics
brought down from the states, are
abandoning their posts, and panic
stricken by the outbreak of fever, an
nouncing their purpose to get back TO
the states, ven if they he compelled
to go UP in the "~steerage'' for lack Of
money to pay for first-class tickets.
We trust that General Davis and
Chief Engineer Wallace will be able
soon to convince their superiors at
Washington that better salaries must
be paid here; at least until sanitary
conditions are radically improved

CARTHAGE AND SANFORD.
Signs of Prosperity and Progress In
these Two Towns.

Mr.. s. F. Conard who recently visited
Carthage and Sanford. writes as fol-
lows to The North Carolina Baptist:
Carthage is the county seat OF Moore
county. and since my last visit she has
been scourged by a most destructive
FIRE, which cut a big swath into the
heart of its business houses. 1t IS,
however, rapidly replacing them by
larger and better brick buildings, ard
ir a little while Will present a more at
tractive appearance.
The pride and glory of Carthage is
the Tyson & Jones buggy factory. X
vas founded In 1859 and Incorporated
In 1889. It is said to be the Oldest and
largest carriage factory in the south.
1t employs about 100 hands and most
of them are reared here and own their
own homes. For good workmanship
and for beautiful styles and finish these
tyGgies ha re a wide reputation. They
are old all over the Southern States.

first time We're outstripped by The
Russians in withdrawing. The Rus
slams perhaps had staked more On the
combined opinions of its commanders
and Tlsked more than in any previous
battle with the japanese. The crucial
point OF the retreat occurred at dusS,
when the rea-guard troops and me

received a rifle and grenade assault
from the japanese, which produced a
stampede The success Of the Japa-

The battle Of the right flank and
around Mukder appears to have been
the greatest Of the war except at Port
Arthur. During the terrible dust storm
OF Thursday the Japanese, with ma
chine guns, occupied several empty
houses in a village held by Russians.
and otherwise bettered their position
west Of the railroad so that when me
retreat came, with japanese shells on
all sides, it suggested another Cronje
incident. For ten hours not a man 20
a horse rested, while the wounded
were being gathered up on h two
sides in the "a n often in the CEN
ter, and every energy was bent toward
getting out of a trap, the jaws af
which were almost upon the Russians.
At Santaitse, the Associated Press
correspondent, with others, lost all
baggage IN the retreat. Many bodies
of troops were encountered, some OF
them in advance and some in he
rear, which were constantly mistaken
for the japanese. Forty miles of re-
treat was accomplished in seventeen
hours. It was virtually through
ploughed fields, with enormous cus.
clouds, which made it impossible to
see any distance. A great amount Of
the equippage, ammunition, guns and
stores Of the Russians were lost.
The losses Of men on both sides are
recaoned at 14O,0 600 for the entire fight.
