Washington, J11 lie 15 ?Am erica's
national capital has b 'on . lee
ted as the scat ?'f nog >ti ti ns between
the plenipotentiaries of
Kus.-i.1 and Japan for a treaty of
peace. The choic of Washington
as the location of the peace
conference marks another forward
step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace in the far cast instituted
by President Roosevelt.
Official announcement of the
selection of Washington was made
at the W hite House .is follow-.
"When the two governments
were unable to agree upon either

The Japanese losses at Port
Arthur arc seen to be far less than
is generally supposed. Taking
the five battles, the percentage of
loss for the Russians is about 20
per cent, and for the Japanese
less than 14 per cent. As the
Japanese everywhere attacked
strongly fortified positions, this
smaller proportion of loss is one
of the most remarkable features :
of the war. Up to the present it
is estimated that the Russians 1
have lost a total of iS 1,000 and
the Japanese 154,000 men, or a
grand total of 335,000.?The

The Model Town.
Fort Mill, S. C., is a town that
is best known abroad as the home
of Captain S. E. White, but is
deserving of fame in other wayr.
It is in all respects a model town.
Its people take a pride in keeping
it in order and permit nothing
that would offend the eyes of the
visitor. It has the handsomest
group of monuments of any to .vn
in the south. Its streets are now
lighted by electricity and the latest
move is the organization of a
"Village Improvement S <ciety,"
which starts out with a membership
of eighteen, all women. The
object is to improve the health*
fulness and beauty of the town by
keeping the streets and ditches
clean and otherwise improving
general conditions. 1'he good
that can be done by such a so
ciety js hard to realize. Kvery
town needs such an organization.
AM praise to the women < f Fort (

reinarUs that ran o 1 a sceno and
resulted in t n<? t: i|> of Mr Uowll
to town yesterday and the imlitulion
of the dam 130 suit. The
controversy is u most won lerful
( one and seems to he about as
follows:
Some time ago Rev. Mr. Little
circulated the statement th it while
on a trip in the \V ixhaw
neighborhood in February,he was ?
waylaid by two men who pulled t
him oil' his vehicle ahd hit him a
siuiiuing diow in the Bide, Unock- I
ing him down On recovering J?
lie roso with a stick and knocked
hoth the men down. When they
in turn recovered they b gged
the preacher's pardon ai d a-ked
him to say nothing about i ho af- r
fair. This was agreed to, they
all made friends, had a love feast
C]
and entered a solcmcn compact to
drop the matter and tell no one
what had occurred. It seems that
Mj\ Little regarded the compact jas
binding only as regards the
oamcs^ofthc party, for he went to
tellingitabout.but always refused
to give any names. It seems that
for some reason of past differences
the community began to point, to
two or three men as the ones who n
had been the fighters. So about l
three weeks ago -the following
circular was distributed:
' 'To Whom It May Concern: i
"Rev. J W. Little, the Gatlin c
gun evangelist, hits very strongly
intimated and left the impression
on a few prejudiced people, that
wc were the ones engaged in the
notorious light he has published
in this community. We take
this method of informing all who i
arc not acquainted with the cir- <
cu instances that we arc not JWc
know nothing at all about it
and are in no way connected 1.
with the evangelist, his illogical J
lights, nor his manner and method >
of abusing people. Therefore wc ,
challangc him in all his notoriety, f
any of his zealous f> lowers, or i
any human being to provo to the
contrary. '

"Wc, the undersigned, know
these men and do not believe
they arc guilty, and ean conscientiously
say they have been treat- 1
cd with great injustice. We sayfurther,
in behalf of the parties
accused and our community generally,
we do not believe the Rev.
J. W. Little has had any fight
whatever."
The latter statement was signed
by forty-eight names. Sun- j
day was Mr. Little's regular ap- r
Ipointmcnt as pastor of church. |
After the sermon he referred to a
the mattsr and said things about '
Rev. Mr. Rowell that caused the J
hitter's wife to riso up in the aisle j
ami deny them and caused the
snit to be begun. - Monroe Journal.
