The French nation is Russla's
heaviest creditor and is therefore
largely interested in the out
come of the present war between
Russia and Japan. France
furnished the money to fortify
Port Arthur, to equip the Russian
army and made other loans to
that government. All of these
vast sums have been lost to
Russia and she now needs help
badly, but the French are not
clamoring for such securities.
Other money markets find some
thing more desirable. On the
other hand the great banking
institutions of Europe are run
ming over each other to get
Japanese securities.

The Doe Nuisance.

There are at least five hundred
dirty, trifiing, worthless cur dogs
and halfcur dogs and evry other
kind of sorry dogs in and around
this city that should be killed
and killed right now, -Opelika
News.
This is another town that the
dog killer should visit. The dog
nuisance is an objectionable one.
VIZ can understand how the dog
is some times valuable on the
farm with stock and purposes of
utility, but we could never be
made to see the value of the
town dog. Some people keep them
as a matter of amusement and
entertainment for themselves,
but one so easily entertained
might find a more innocent way
of doing SO than keeping a
pasky little cur who is a nuisance
to everyone in the neighborhood.
The hog that has just been ban
ished from our city is far less a
nuisance than the NANCY, med
dlesome little wretch Of a cur
that runs up and down the inside
Of the yard barking at every
passer dy and is not worth his
salt to the man who permits him
to live around him.

Governor Vardaman address
ed the Cotton Association of Lee
county at the court house Satur-
day evening. There was a large
and enthusiastic crowd present
who frequently applauded the
speaker. The Governor spoke
mainly upon the questions affect
ing directly the cotton grower
and appealed to his audience to
live up to the agreement to re-
duce the acreage in cotton this
year and to see 70 it that a houn-
tiful supply of every thing need
ed on the farm for both man and
beast is raised. These suggested
seemed to appeal to the sound
judgment and good sense of
every man in the house andtheir
approval Of this plan to reducing
the cotton crop was manifested
by evidences of hearty appro-
baton. The Governor took oc-
casion to thank the citizens Of
the county for their generous
support during the recent canvass
and promised now as he did then
to make as good an executive as
in him lies.

hope has not been realized. as he was
unable to take the offensive. The
scouts of both wings of the japanese
army were in touch 40 miles north OF
Moukden, which practically brought
the horns Of the japanese crescent to-
gether and completed the envelop-
ment of the Russian army. If this is
the case, the Japanese will soon be in

ceieved large additions from Siberia

Moukden began eight days ago with
the opening of an early Manchurian
spring, each commander mustered be-
