The Yorkvillo Enquirer, u mont
intelligent and sensible newspaper,
nays that the farmers of the south
should insist on iho cbango from
jute to cotton bagging for their
grout money crop. " There is no
reason,it says, "why wo should
send money to India for burlap
at whatever price If we make
nothing out of (ho uiator except
to keep at home tho money that
would otherwise go away for jute,
the uso of cotton bagging would
bo profitable. There would be
more in it than this, however.
Bagging suilicient to cover the
Southern cotton crop would necessarily
consume enough cotton to
have some effect on the price."
The Cotton Association might
find it advivablc to" change. It is
practical, it is cheaper, and as the
Enquirer well says, the consumption
of such largo quantities of
tho raw product for bagging will
naturally stimulate the market.

Young Lady lias Miraculous Escape
fion Death.
Miss Eliza Mabry, a student at
tho College, underwent a very
thrilling experience Monday afternoon.
She fell down the elevator
shaft in tho roar of the dormitory,
and, surprising to relate, she was
uninjured, wtyh the exception of
a few bruises.and a general shaking
up. She was leaning over
the rail which surrounded the shaft
when her support gave way, and
sho plunged downward a distance
of three stories. Sho struck an
iron bar in tho course of her descent,
und this undoubtedly broke
tho force of her flight and swed
her life.?lieck 11 ill Record.

n ni,- The possibility that if the
Uushian army should be unable to
hold the lower lino of the Sungat i
liver at Chuiinchtat.su, it may be rc
compelled to retreat not only to
llarhin, but also further westward
along the railroad, abandoning to
the ifapaneue northern Manchuria
and llio Kossicn Maritime Amur
Siberian province?, as well as the
vast territory already lout, is the ni?
latent startling news from the
front. RD(
The Btrategic weuknesB of c^e

by u Guoshu dispatch, iu which it UIt
po in ted out that unless Chunchia- tae
tsu and the Sangaii linen, a scant wa
100 mile* below Harbin, can be
held,it will bo difficult to maintain
position further buck before Har- ^-*0
bin, where, with the front of the 11111
army paralleling the railroad, the 8*a
practicability a turning movement
to comploty sever communications Wft
and isolate the army 0,000 miles
from home is too serious for Kussian
consideration. That such a
dispatch should have been permit- Hi;
ed to pass the censor at the front, H
is significant ;and, if General Line- ed
vtieh has communicated a simi- pa
lar estimate of the sitnatiou di res
rect to emperor Nicbolus, it may in
account for his majestys increased Co
disposition to listen to peace coun
sels and open negotiations befere Mi
the .lapanese establish themselves ha
on Russian soil.
It cun now tie definitely stated tin
that tlio decision to appoint Grand wh
Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch to ha
tho supreme command in tho far oh
East was re-considered, because hu
of the opinion that tho outlook at ?oi
the front does not warrant the qu
risk of compromising tho prestige bo
of a member of the imperial family.
