The War News From Toxic
Russians to Hold the Line From
Changchun to Kirin. Jap Loss
es Estimated at $4,000 and
Russians at $4,000.

Toxic, March 21 q m.-No
reports Of the Russian retreat or
Japanese pursuit were receiv-
ell today, which is strength
ening the belief that the Russian
plan to hold the line from Chang.
chun to Kirin The Japanese
continue to closely follow Gen
Linevitch's rear guard, but the
damaged bridges impeded their
progress, and will possibly create
sufficient delays to permit the
Russians to reconcentrate, rein
force, partially reorganize and
construct works at Changchun
and Kirin.
1t is reported that portion of
the Vladivostok squadron has been
withdrawn and hurried to Harbin,
but no confirmation of the runner
is obtainable.
The first Mukden prisoners are
arriving in Japan. The Govern
ment has chartered and fitted out
forty steamers to assist the trans
ports in carrying prisoners and
wounded.
Revised tigurers of the japanese
losses at the hattie of Mukden
place the number at $4,000 and
revised estimates of the Russian
losses from the commencement of
the battle of Mukden and ending
with the fighting at Tie Pass,
place the total at ITS, 900 killed,
wounded or captured.

Murderer Trapped in Cave.

Special to The Observer.
Asheville, March 22.-Deputy
Marshal Ben Barnes returned to
Asheville yesterday afternoon
from Marshall. Mr. Barnes last
week, in company with other
gentlemen. effected the arrest Of
the Madison county murderer,
John PATE, and landed their man
in Jail at Marshall. Speaking of
the capture of Pate, the deputy
marshal said. s'Pate WAS located
just across the border in Tennes.
see and was captured IN what is
known as the Holland Higgins
wolf den. We learned that the
man was hiding in some place in
Bald Mountain, but could not for
a time locate his hiding place.
Finally we tracked the wife to the
den, after laying In wait in the
open for more than "a hours, and
reaching the place knew that the
man was ours. The sden' 10

with an opening scarcely large
enough for a man to crawl
through. 1t is about a mile from
the road, and one might pass by
hundred times and never for .
moment think that q cave existed
there. After passing through
the opening, there is small room
or hollow, and then another small
opening. Through this one enters
a room about seven feet high, II
feet long and IL feet wide. Thst
is where Pate has spent the time
since committing the murder last
year. Patel had almost closed up
the second opening with stones,
and left only small crevice
through which to peep out. After
we had reached the opening of tho
cave and knowing that Pate, .
desperate man, was inside, one Of
the men in the party asked me If

that Pate could hear every word
that was said, and l made this re-
ply: No, l am not going inside.

mite but the ruse worked; from
inside tho cave Pate cried out:
"For Gods sake don't do that.
III come OUT We told him to
come on, and in few seconds the
form Of man era wled through the
opening. 1t was Pate, but those
who had known him for years
would not have recognized him.
He had not had q shave since en-
tering the place, neither had his
hair been cut, and both harra and
beard presented q great shaggy
mass. Inside the cave or den,
Pate had fixed up a bunk, and
water and food was brought to
him by his wife. Had he not
come out, we would have starved
him into submission. He had
scar cely days supply Of food
and water in the place."

President E D Smith Urges the

The Sale of Fertilizer Tags.
Amount OF Purchases May No:
Indicate the Cotton Acreage

Mr. + ID Smith, president of the
South CnIollnu division, Southern
Cotton association, was in the
city yesterday aud at work during
the day ut the Offices of the as
ISOLATION in the Loan and Exchange
Ban. building Mr. Smith had
attended ard addressed meeting
IN Lancaster the day before, and
when seen at the office he said:
81 have just returned from
Lancaster where we had very
enthusiastic meeting. People
from the town and country met in

berg at the request of the people
of Bamherg county.
There must be some mista ke
us 70 the amount Of fertilizer sold
in this State. The people are un-
der the impression that the sale of
tags means the sale of guano.
Either the tag people are wrong
or the fai mers of this State are
wrong. Lancaster, Gl eenvile,
Spartnnburg, Marion, Dillon,
Latta, Lynchburg- places that l
have visited personaIIy-report
about 60 per cent. sales as com-
pared with last year. Reports
sent to the office from the various
counties confirm my own ohservu-
ton; therefore it must be that the
guano people have bought these
tags in order that they may not
be delayed in case they do get
orders for shipments. AS unused
tags are returnahle, it will cost
them nothing to get these tags,
and in case they do not ship
guhno they return then. to the
State anG have their money re-
funded. Hence, it is an easy
maiter for the impression to be
be made that the State is using as
much guano as formerly.
GAS said before, tho reports
from the different counties and
shipping points in these different
counties do not bear out this as
sertion.
SAT Saluda Saturday it was re-
ported 10 me that Saluda county
would probably not use over
60 to Is per cent. of lasts year 8
fertilizer. The impression has
gone abroad as far vest as Texas
that South Carolina is not keeping
her pledge to reduce acreage and
fertilizers. | wish TO take this
occasion to say that in my tours
through the south and west | find
that no State is more enthusiastic,
more determined, and IS standing
by the pledges made better than
South Carolina.
"Let no one bo discourage or
disheartened by any of these signs
or reports, for in the face of what
is said to be the largest cotton
crop ever made in the history of
the south, the farmers are stand
ing pat and have forced cotton
from 6 cents per pound to eight
cents per pound; and it ls only
the question of few weeks
with the same tactics adhered 10
when 10 cents will be reached.
