Attack on PutiIoff Hill.

At latest reports the Japanese had
also launched an attack against Putt
Rloff hill and other points on the Rus
san front. presumably with the inten-
ton Of regaining positions from which
the Russians had ousted them during
the night and also TO prevent General
kurOpatkin from dispatChing further
reinforcements against General NOgi' 5
haTd-pTessed veterans. The latter,
however. have gotten up heavy field
artillery to their support, making a
much more even fight against the Rus
sian cannon.
Comparative inactivity is the rule on
the extreme left.
The Russians claim minor successes
against KUroki, who, presumably, hav-
ing shot his bolt and won one of the
objects. that of drawing Russian rein

STORY WAS A HOAX.

Engineer Pate's Body Not Yet RecOv-
cred from the Chattahoochee.
From the Albany Herald.
The report received in the city Fri
day night by the family of the late
Engineer Elijah Pate, and later circu-
lated throughout the city, to the effect
that the body of the dead engineer had
been recovered from the Chattahoo-
chez river thirty miles below Column
bia proves to have been a hoax.
1t is impossible to state just how the
rumor gained currency, though sew
eral reports would seem to explain it..
Certain it is that the body has not yet
been recovered, though a search is
still being maintained along the river
for many miles below the scene of the
frightful accident on the Goth of Feb
ruary.

YOUR HOME TOWN.

There is world of meaning in the
word 'home." 1t signifies very
near All that is dear to us. The home
should be protected, for good homes
mean the life of the nation. Each and
every one should find the greatest
pleasure in improving the home and
making all its environments as at
tractive as possible. Whether in the
country or in the city home is home
The home-lover delights in standing
I'D for his resident place. The man
who is forever decrying the place he
calls home has something lacking IN
his general makeup. The man who
has his home on the farm should take
pride in having his home town lively
place, fully up to date, progressive
with good schools and churches. Inc
town is for his comfort and conven-
fence as well as for those who reside
within its limits. 1t is toward the
town the farmer turns when he has
products to dispose Of The better
the town is as a business place the
better it is for the farmer. The rise
in the value of his land is commensu-
rate with the progress of the town.
The more enterprising and substan-
tial becomes the town the better are
it's schools and churches, its public
and semi-public places in general. 1T
is the duty of every citizen to assist
in building up his home town, for in
so doing he assists himself and in fact
every one in the community.
Stand up for your home town, and
bear in mind that the dollars you send
off is just so much support taken away
from it, and just SO much injury to
your own best interests.

GREAT NAVAL BATTLE PENDING

Admiral Rojestvensky, who is in
command of Russia's second Pacific
squadron, after a journey of several
thousand miles, has sailed into the
China sea with his fleet of forty seven
vessels in search of Admiral Togo 5
Japanese squadron, and one of the
greatest naval battles the world has
ever known is expected to occur at
any moment. The japanese warships
are somewhere in the China sea, and
the hostile fleets cannot be long IN
coming together. They are said to be
nearly evenly matched, and the fight
will mean victory or the bottom of the
sea for one or the other of them.
The battle will go far toward deter
mining the result of the war, especial
" so far as Russia is concerned.

STILL SEEING HoBGOBLINs.

Notwithstanding that w. r. Hearst
was defeated in Georgia last summer
the Macon Telegraph is still in a
frame of mind" because he had friends
who exercised the right and made an
open and honorable effort to secure
the vote of this state for him in the
national democratic convention. AS
a punishment to those respected Geor-
gians and loyal democrats who pre-
ferred the New York editor to the
Esopus nonentity the Telegraph would
now put upon the state the South Car-
DINA plan of two primaries in nOmi-
mating candidates for the various Of
fees.
We hope our esteemed Macon con-
temporary will feel better after awhile,
and not permit the Hearst candidacy,
which is now closed incident and
ancient political history, to weigh SO
heavily upon its mind. In the mean
time, it should give some good rea-
son, a real reason, why the South
Carolina plan should be adopted in
this state-if it can.
We had no idea that the Hearst hob
goblin was so terrorizing and lasting
in it's effect.
