To the Editor of the Dispatch: The long dry season has ceased < and the refreshing showers came, 1 mingled with some hail, accompanied with flashing lightnings and roaring thunder. Some of our farmers are ready to plant corn while others are just commencing to prepare their lands. 1 V-o o h ! Have you heard that sound? Old March came in gentle as a lamb, but be has been roaring as a lion for lo, these many days since. Destructive forest fires have been 1 raging over this part of the county during the dry, windy weather. We : hope our good people, one and all, will keep their fire in their pockets. The recent cold snap has put a | pale sickening appearance to small ! grain, but not seriously damaged. Our southern people in the cotton ' growing belt are preparing for nve cent cotton this fall, unless provi- 1 dence favors the planters. 1 The merchants of our little town 1 are doing a fairly good business for the time of year.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: As we have seen nothing from our town for awhile, in the columns of the good old Dispatch, we thought we would give a few dots. The health of this section is very good at present. Prof. Hatch, of Virginia, spent a few days with Mr. Butterworth last week. He seemed to enjoy himself very much in our busy little town. Ballentine is noted for its wood . and lumber industry, which gives employment to a lot of hands thus making the business of this place , full of life. Misses Minnie and Jossie Riddle,, ; having closed their schools for this j season, have returned home to the , delight of their many friends.

London, March 15 ?A dispatch received here from Tien Tsin by Reuter's Telegram company dated from that city today at 3:20 p. m. says: "The Russians are now entrenching in the disputed territory. A company of the Hong Kong regiment with fixed bayonets, is in front while two companies of the Madras Pioneers, under the command of Muj. Johnson, are held in reserve. "Both the Russians and the British biro awaiuug iuH;,ruciiuiia irurn lu^ir governments." Tien Tain, March 15.?The B;itish and Russians are disputing over the limits of railway property in the Russian concession and the guards of the two nations are in close proximity to each other. The Bjitish have been strongly reinforced and trouble is imminent unless the Russians retire. London, March 15 ?A. question in the house of commons today in regard to the dispatch from Tien Tsin announcing friction between the Russians aDd Bri tish there elicted a confirmation from Lord George Ham ilton, the secretary of the state for India, who, corroborating the dispatches of the Associated Press, said Russia had claimed! the land in dispute by virtue of a concession alleged to have been granted by China since the disturbance commenced.

The government had not seDt special, instructions as, tnrougnout tne Ut.inese operations, the British officers had shown a spirit of excessive conciliation. ? Saves Two From Death.

Over twelve million human beings are now in reach of the goBpel, as protestants proclaim it, who never enjoyed this blessing before. There is now on us a responsibility to send the gospel as we believe it, to our new possessions. Let us in all good faith accept the religious as well as the territorial expansion, and let u? see in this connection more than mere tradeand commercial facilities. The Anglo Saxon is now on trial ai his flag has been politically. Of the $14,000,000 given last year for missions by the entire human family, our family alone, toe Aoglo-kaxon, gave $12,000,000 leaving only $2,000,000 to be given by the lest of mankind. Add to this, too., that he is a protestant and it only increases his responsible possibili:ie9. The influence and example of our fl ig in the great eastern complication is giving to us an influence and a power for Chrbt that will be eDj >yed by no other nation or power on earth. This only renews our alligence in a more em GOODS COWP criEe., . Patronage. Polite am phasized manner to our denonrna* tional fidelity, since we preach a faith I ana adnere to a oeiiei wnicn is auvocated by no other religious body of men on earth. Oar belief is a peculiarly distinguishing feature of Baptist only. To meet these widening fields is a solemn duty. This can be done only by increased contributions of the means in which we have been blest, to be used in turn to bless others with greater riches than worldly gain. As Moderator of your Association and Chairman of your Executive Board, I do earnestly ask and solicit that each minister and church urge on its members the great needs of the hour and that at the two Union meetings to be held on the 5:h Sunday next an urgent appeal be made for a liberal offering to be sent to Dr. R J. Willingham, Richmond, Virginia, and that each church take up a collection at its next meeting for this great end. I trust that each member will feel his own personal duty to his sovereign Lord and not lea.ve to others what he should do himself. Remember that it as urgent case and of great increasing magnitude. It is import ant that this be done and sent forward before the meeting of the May convention, and it is equally important that these needs be frequently preached to the churches and constant appeals be made to their liberality. The kingdom of God is the most expansive and its spirit is the most imperialistic of any government and to meet these features will take men and money. To protestants this is an eventful day freighted with grave realities, far greater than can be covered over by the platform of political creeds. Fraternally, D. J. Knotts, Moderator Lex. Baptist Ass.

Aguinaldo hasn't been heard from directly for nearly a year, so it is stated, and the belief is becoming general that he is dead. It would be well, however, to await an official announcement before putting too much confidence is this conjecture. Aguinaldo as a very shrewd man, and while it does not appear just now exactly what he expected to accomplish by remaining in hiding for so long, it may be safely said that he is hatching something. In the meantime, hi3 supporters seem to be gradually dropping away from him, and it really appears now that the insurgents consists simply of a few bands of marauding guerrillas, whose chief delight, in addition to robbing the natives, is the slaughter of Americans wherever they can find them. ? ?
