positions south of the 1'ugela, t<? r<
whioe they retired in consequence is
>f the reverse nt Spion kop. The ''
tightinir after the occupation of "
the mountain was of a desperate o
eharacter. Spion kop is a preci- j }
pitons mountain overti?i?oin?r th??
?vh<i|p line of kop* along the un t
in r I'u In On the eastern side, ?
t
the mountain faces Mount Alice

rijjrlit angles to the Boer central n
position and Lvttleton's advanced p
position^ The southern point '
descends in abrupt steps to the
lower line of korjes On the \t
western side, opposite the right J,
' outposts of Warren's force, it is j<
I inacecxfublv steep until the point
'! where the nek joins to the kop to j
! the main range Then there is a
l!
gentle slope, winch allows easy ()
access to the summit. The nek t
was strongly held l?\ the liners, ^
who also occupied a heavy spur *
parallel with the kop, where the
enemy was concealed in no fewer
than 35 rifle pits and was thus
enabled to bring to bear upon
our men h damaging cross, h
lire, the only possible point for a 'J
Briti-h attack being the southern j
side, with virtually sheer preci- j
pice* on the left and right u
"A narrow foot p?-th admitting r
men in single hie only to the sum* I'
mit, opens into a perfectly tlut ^
tableland, probably of 3?M) square
yards area, upon whi? li the li icrs
bad hastily commenced to make a
transverse trench Our men were
able to occupy tin; further end of
this tableland, where the i idge
descended to anotIter Mat, which
was again succeeded bv a round,
stonv eminence, held by the liocrs I
in great strength s
"The ridge held by our men
was faced by a number of strong
little kopjes at all angles, whence
tlio Iioers sent a concentrated lire
from their rifles, supported by a
Maxtm-Nordenseldt, and a big
long-range gun That with the 4
rifles, th?' maciiine gut * and the *
big gun, the summit was conver i
ted into a perfect hell The sheila '
exploded continually in our ranks;
and the rifle fire, from tin absolutely
unseen enemy was perfect np a
palling.
<kKn enforcements were hurried I
up by (iouorul Warren, Imt they (
had to cross a strete i of flat |
ground, which was literally torn |
up by the fl\ ing lead of the enemy.
The unfinished trench on the summit
gave very questionable shel
ter, as the enemy's machine guns
were so accurately trained upon ,
tiie place that often sixteen shells
I fell in the trench in a single
I minute.
I ,kMortal men could not permanently
hold such a position.

The argument advanced ngaioat
10 wide tiro bill by senator from [
'iedmont counties was that tbe
ide tiro wheels would slip off tho
ills and the wagons run into tho
ulleys. Tha Anderson Daily i
lail mates an effective answer to .
1
lat assertion in this paragraph: ?
The broad tiro hill recently I r
assod by tho senate appears to us |
> be a long stride towards reach-1 p
lg the coal of good roads Kx !
erience has demonstrated that
ley pack rather that cut up the
oads. And in this connection it ^
; amusing to hear intelligent men h
ke Col W atts, <?f Laurens, and
thera raising the objection *
gainst broad tired wagons, that 1
hat will 'slip off the bills' in this t
'iedmont country. To la-ar men s
alk that way carries one hack to r

Mr W Q Hammond, has been
' t
ising broad tired wagons for some
