There was no cssation of the fighting between the Russian and Japanese armies in ' Manchuria Monday. Russian reports slate that at a distance the tide of battle in the immediate vicinity of Mukden seemed to be ebbing. The ruost that the war critics at St. Petersburg seem to hope for at present is that General Kuropatkin has succeeded in re-establishing his line of retreat in the direction of Harbin. Word has reached New Cliwang, however, without confirmation from other scouroes, that the Japanese are already north of Mukden with a large force end that the Russians are facing n disastrous defeat. There appears to be a possibility that General Ivuroki has d awn off a portion of his army from the center and sent it to te-in force the divisions engaged in Hanking movements. General ivaulbir, the most trusted of Cien- I eral Knropatkin's officers, is per- ! sonally command of the Russian ] forces in the triangle between the ! railway anil tlie Hun river, which vital position the Japanese have jbeen assailing for several days. Russia reports that 12,000 men have been wounded, hut midte no mention of the number killed, and at the Hame time assert that the Japanese have lost 30,000 in killod and wounded. Ths Inauguration of Roosevelt. Washington was undoubtedly in the eye of tho whole world {Saturday. While it is an event that is witnessed every four years. | yet it is a matter fraught with great and unusual significance, when the man who is to serve as the ruler ot the greatest country ! in the world is installed. As usual Washington was visited by throngs, and this year there seems to have been more of a desire to see '"Teddy" than merely to witness the august event. The procession whs nn unusually long one, more than 30,000 inarching in line?Cowboys, Rough Riders, Filipinos and Porto Ricanu, and plain Anieri- I cans. A fact very conspicuous was the large numbers from the South and Southwestern States, where Democratic victories are in- J variable. This goes to show that j the South and Air. Roosevelt nn derstand each other better than they did when his term of office began, and it is evident that they and lie will work earnestly to pro mote this good feeling that is now so strong. His trip to Texas which is to follow will he potential in promoting this end. A Bootless Sport Major J. W. Wilson and dungh- j ter, Miss Beulah, are here spending a month. The major has become quite feeble. A short while ago lie sent for Mr. Arnold Friedbeim,. who was close to him in Lee's army, to come up from Rock Hill to see him. Their meeting can better he imagined than described. liHst evening at a reception the major was telling a storv on liia friend. They were passing along h turnpike in Viij?inik in wnr time. The old man Fried heim una barefooted, footsore unci bleeding. They were (assing by a 'stylishly dressed young man silting between two beautiful 1 young Indies on n rock wall backed by neatly trimmed evergreens. Mr. Friedheim stepped out of the tlie straggled rnnks up to the young man nnd finally relieved him of Ills new boots and left him in a ridiculous position. The mnjor has h warm place in his heart and lots of admiration for Kock Hill's prominent Jew citizen.?Ft. Mill jetkr in Charlotte Observer. ^ OLD HICKORY ?

S, I?99. Ill York county, S. C., there is a town named' Fort. Mill. :'ltifta peculiar place, with a record vthat is peerless, and with a,history both uuiqueaud grand. *>> you doubt this, and call for proof? Then, my dopbting Thomas, 1 will se-! lect only seven things out of many that i might be mentioned. 1. Fort Mill is located exactly npon the placj where once was the national % illume, or cunitul town of the ( atnwliii Indians. Those were u brave people, who kept up continual war with the i "Five Nations" of New York: who defeated the Cheroltecs and drove them from this section; who either exterminated or absorbed twelve other tribes. So kindiy and justly, so fairly and fearlessly, did the first settlers deal with i these Indians that the' Catuwb.is have never fought against, but always Iot us. In colonial days they fought with us against the Tuscaroras, in the revolution against the British, and in tho civil war against the North. (July one of our people was ever killed by a Catawba, and tho ihurderer was promptly executed by the Indian king. Can any community sh >w such continued kindness 011 the part of the white man, or such unswerving loyalty on the part of tho red man? 2. Fort Mill was where tho last meeting of the cabinet of the Confederate States was held. On a bright April morning, under a cedar tree in the yard of Mr. W. E. White, President Davis had his last official cabinet meeting. They agreed to begin to separate. Gen, Breckinridge and Mr. Keagau went with the President to Abbeville, S. O., when lio held the last "council of war" with (Jen, Bragg and tho commanders of live brigades; at the close of t.hi& council the President exclaimed "All hope is gone!" A lost cause! a furled flag! a fleeing President, ho could no longer call cabinet meetings or order councils of war! ho could only now consult with friends. 3. Fort Mill was the birthplace of tho "stright out" movement of 1S70. Nearly every white man in tho Statu thought that South ( arolina's only hope was in a combination of tho Southerner with tho Chamberlaiu wing of the Kepublithill IVirt V Riff Mill lmlinua/1 i?* "Mauy are the hearts that are weary to-night, wishing for the war to cease, vnd many are tin* hearts praying for the right and to see the dawn of peace." Many monuments have been erected to the Confederate soldier; hut where ' 5lse than in Fort Mill has one boon irectod by Southern men to the women )f the Confederacy? Why has toiouthjrn chivalry neglected this precious! supremacy. denounced all compromises, ami called for a " straight -out" Democratic ticket. This cry found an echo in grand old F 'gelield county, and her sons led the men of Carolina to the elec- j tion of Hampton. To ICdge field has been given the praise of that victory, and Fort Mill is satisfied and gratified for her to have it. Still it remains true that this village began the fight that estab- I lishsd white supremacy and redeemed ! the State. The stand taken by Fort Mill . was the morning star of that day of de- | hverance. 4. hort Mill has two cotton factories, I running 73o looms and l(),f>;K) spindles; and worth $.J30,u00. How did the little village, t heti of only 260 persons, get them.' By begging Northern capital to come down and build them, aild thus make our {tcople their hewers of wood and drawers of water? Nay, verily, that degradation was not for this plucky place. They pulled together as one man and built a factory of 200 looms, which has grown as above stated; ami A. D. 1000 will probably sec the third factory, or something else as good. They who would be free must themselves first'strike the blow. 5 Fort Mill has a monument in honor ,?f ill..

'J hey gave their hearts first. and then their gold, for the people loved the "lost cause" and delighted to do it | honor. 6. Fort Mill has a monument in honor of the women of the Confederacy. On pulestal and die which are 10 feet in heighth is a stature t> feet high, and ap|K?ars to be a life sized figure of a woman, kneeling in the attitude of j praper oil a Confederate flag?while be-! neath are these words inscribed: 1 i ill ? ! ? -m Dn&ftifi Spp A SWELL LOW CUT and truide THIS 15 pRict.53,50 for A SWELL LOV/ . tU-** ; i -! i I rn ch I r?til v Ia us 11 80S PRICE. $150 iMcElhaney ' . trio found no \\ here else in till our I | Southland.
