Ashevilie, N c., Mar. 1.-THE an
nual convention of the North and
South Carolina Y. NJ. c. A. which op-
ened in this city today is In every
respect the most noIable gathering
ever held under the auspices of the
oi-state organization. The large and
representative character of the gath
ering is due in part to the fact that
the past year has been one of great
activity for the association through
out the two states, the interest In it's
work having never before been so
pronounced. Reports prepared by the
various officers for presentation to
the convention show that the mem
bership is growing at a gratifying
rate.

The government officials here receiv-

feet of water at that time and that
it was rising rapidly. Four feet is
considered a big head of water in the
Pecos, inasmuch as the average depth
of the stream is from 8 inches to a
foot and a half. The banks are about
six feet high along the Pecos on the
low side. but at that depth the water
would begin to run over the low pla-
ces. At five feet the people living al
ong the banks do well to move to a
place of safety. 1t is understood that
one family moved out this morning.

his government regarding the opera
tions is a brief cablegram last night,
saying that Kuropatkin was retreat
ing after days of fierce fighting. The
ambassador, however, was acquaint-
ed several weeks ago with the final
decision of the emperor that Russia
would continue the war until the Rus
sian arms were victorious. regardless
of the time it would require, and that
already preparations were being made
for large reinforcements.
If the echo of peace should come
out of ST. Petersburg, no official in
Washington would be more surprised
than the Russian ambassador, who
has all along been positively inform
ed that nothing but victory for Kuro-
patkin can bring an end to the war.

to the constftutionality of declaring
the Office of governor vacant, and as

John Waldron, for Peabody, alleged
that the legislature is attempting to
repeal the constitution. and that no
branch of the government has the
power to do that.
Attorneys Geo. L. Hodges and w.
L. Bryant for the Alexander people,
asserted that the legislature has no
power to find that there was no cleo
lion. Senator Edward Taylor said
that there were no questions involv-
ed that would give the supreme court
the right to take the matter up. Tay-
lor appeared as a friend of he court.
