Warnings Have Been Sent Out to Shipping Along Eastern Coast and Merchantmen Are Hurriedly Seek ing Cover—Other War News. Tokio, July 20.—1:20 p. m.—The Russian Vladivostock squadron, ac companied by torpedo boats, entered the Pacific ocean at 7 o’clock. Its destination is unknown, but it is sug gested that it plans to raid the east coast of Japan and then either return to Vladivostock, escaping to the southward, or attempting to form a junction with the Port Arthur fleet. The squadron was discovered in the straits of Tsugar at 2 o’clock this morning moving rapidly eastward. At 3:30 a. m. it was reported off Tappi Cape and at 7 a. m., observers at Hakodate discerned it and reported to Tokio that it was then steaming to the east. Warnings have gone out to shipping along the eastern coast of Japan, and merchantmen are Hurriedly seeking cover. It Is expected that most ol the shipping will be warned before the Russian vessels can inflict serious damage, if a raid is proposed. Ordinarily, a lack of coal would pre vent an extended cruise, but it is pos- sible that the Russians posses a col lier at rendezvous in the Pacific ocean STRONG PROTEST MADE.

DuPke, Head Master, July 12-1 mo. Advertising is some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In ■ store where the employer sells goods side by side with his clerks it is rare that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper. If yoa have not tried it, why not begin? If you have tried it and an net —**- fied, let «• know about U. Motien Pass Engagement. Ta Tche Kiao, July 20—Details ol the repulse of Lieutenant General Count Keller’s attack on the Japanese at Motien pass last Sunday, which have just arrived, show that it was a demonstration in force to ascertain the strength of the enemy and plain ly developed their numerical superior ity. It is evident that the Japanese are drawing off troops from the Rus sian southern front, reinforcing their positions to the east. The Japanese display marvelous power of concentration at the right time and place. The Motien Pass engagement strengthen a conviction here that the moment for a general advance by the enemy has not yet arrived. Reports that the Japanese are about to land troops at Yin Kow are current but not confirmed. Captured Steamer Arrives. Port Said, July 20.—The captured peninsular and Oriental steamer Ma lacca has arrived here, manned by a Russian crew. Members of the Ma lacca’s crew were declared prisoners and no communication with the shore was permitted. An armed guard blocks the gangway of the vessel. The British captain and passengers com plain of the Russian treatment The former carried his protests td such length that he was threatened with arrest unless he desisted. The Ma lacca is declared to have on board nc contraband articles for Japan. Hei cargo of 3,000 tons Includes 40 tons of explosives for Hong Kong. May Release Merchantmen.

He Is being treated near Saranac lake, in the Adlrondacks, but nttle hope 1c felt for his recovery.

Nashville, Tenn., July 20.—Fire at Galnesboro, Jackson county, Ten neb see, this morning caused! a loss ol about |30,000; partially covered by Insurance.

Atlanta, July 20.—The question of the taxation of dispensaries was set tled in pretty short order yesterday morning, when the house took up the general tax act. The previous question was called, further debate was shut off 'Tind ;« vote on the various amendments was begun. As a result the house restored the former plan of levying upon dispen saries an ad valorem tax in addition to the $200 specific tax, which is lev ied upon all liquor dealers. The house promptly and effectual ly sat down upon all the proposed special orders but one, recommended by flie committee on rules. With the exception of what is known as the boll weevil bill, every one of the 15 or 20 proposed special orders lost out. These last included the bill to increase the salaries of judges of the superior courts and others ol similar importance. The boll weevil bill provides for an appropriation of $15,000 to the state department of entomology for the pur. pose of fighting the introduction into the state of the Mexican boll wee/ viL, and for the purpose of Keeping in check other plant and fruit pests in the state. This bill was made the special order for next Tuesday, July 26. Hon. Augustus DuPont, of DuPont, was sworn in Tuesday morning as the representative from Clinch county, succeeding the late Hon. R. B.

An effort to pass the resolutfon fix ing the bill requiring railroad compa nies to equip lumber cars with stand ards. as a special order one day next week, Ltiled. after adverse action on the resolution bad been reconsidered In The Senate. The senate held a busy session yes terday and considerable businew ol importance was transacted. There was quite a lively debate be tween Mr. McMichaeli, of the twenty- fourth, and Mr. Middlebrooks, of the twenty-seventh, relative to a resolu tion to pay a pension to Dr. J. 'J. W. Glenn, of Rockdale county. Dr. Glenn was not technically entitled tc a pension under the law,' but the house had passed a resolution allowing the pension to be paid. The measure had been in the senate once before and was defeated. Yesterday it was reconsidered on motion of Mr. Middle brooks, of the twenty-seventh. Mr. McMichael, of the twenty- fourth, said he was opposed to the paying of the pension because It was illegal. By a unanimous vote of the senate the Australian ballot bill was made a special order for next Tuesday. Senators Hopkins and Coma were appointed on the joint committee tc codify the game laws of the state. The joint committee of the house, and senate on state sanitarium say that conditions at the state institu tion for the insane is well nigh per fect. The committee reiterates and reaffirms its report of 1902 and 1903 The committee declares that th« moneys appropriated by the state are disbursed in the best possible manner^ and that the records are intelligently and honestly kept. A tribute is paid the board of trustees and the officers upon whom devolve the responsibility of the institution. Does an Education Pay? [Orison Sweet Marden, in June “Suc cess.”] Does It pay an acorn to become an oak? Does It pay to escape being a rich ignoramus? Does it pay to fit oneself for a su perior position? Does it pay to get a glimpse of the joy of living? Does it pay the chrysalis to unfold Into the butterfly? Does it pay to learn to make life a glory instead of a grind? Does it pay to open a little wider the door of a narrow life? Does It pay to add power to the lense of the microscope or telescope? Does It pay to know how to take the dry, dreary drudgery out of life? Does it pay to taste the exhilara tion of feeling one’s powers unfold? Does it pay a rosebud to open its petals and fling out its beauty to the world? Does it pay to push one’s horizon farther out, In order to get a wider outlook, a clearer vision? Does it pay to learn how to center thought with power, how to marshal one’s mental force effectively? Does It pay to acquire power to get out of life high and noble pleas ures which wealth can not purchase? Does It pay to acquire a character- wealth, a soul-property, which no dis aster or misfortune can wreck or ruin? Does it pay to have expert advice and training, to have high Ideals held up to one in the most critical years of life? Does it pay to make life-long friendships with bright, ambitious young people, many of whom will oc cupy high places later on? Does it pay to become familiar with all the lessons that history and science can teach as to how to make life healthy and successful? Does it pay to become an enlighten ed citizen, able to see through the sophistries of political claptrap and vote intelligently on public matter? Does It pay to change a bar of rough pig iron into hairsprings for watches, thus increasing its worth to more than fifty times the value of its weight in gold? 1 Does it pay to experience the joy of self-discovery, to open up whole continents of possibilities in one’s nature which might otherwise remain undiscovered? Does it pay the sculptor to call out from the rough block the statue that sleeps in the marble, and which shall tell the story of heroism and great ness to unborn generations? Does it pay to have one’s mentality stirred by the passion of expansion, to feel the tonic of growth, the inde scribable satisfaction which comes from the consciousness of perpetual enlargement? Does it pay to have four years fill ed with the most delightful associa tions with cultured people, at an age when ambitions and high ideals have not been dulled or shattered by dis appointment, or the unbounded faith in human nature shocked by violated pledges?

Ing the hope that the “Sod may He as light upon his bosom as his song has made the heart of many a weary and footsore soldier In ‘Dixie.’ ” More Teeth of Mastodon Found. Columbus, Ga., July 20.—Two other mastodon teeth have been found in the creek bed near Hurtsboro, Ala., where a huge tooth of one of that spe cies was found a few day's ago by a seining party. The teeth weighed about pounds each; are over 7 Inches long and about 4 Inches broad The work of excavation will be con tinued in the hope of finding the com plete skeleton of a mastodon. C. E Borooi, of Hurtsboro, and Mr. Dick inson, his brother-in-law, are In charge of the matter. -W > r Fearful to Contemplate. • [Charlotte Observer.] Dr. James A. B. Scherer, the new* president of Newberry, S. C., College, in an address before the teachers of a summer school at Newberry the other day, cited court records of South Carolina to show that in 1902 there were 223 homicides in that State and three guilty parties were brought to justice. The current newspaper reports indicate that this record is being maintained. It Is indeed fearful to contemplate and no wonder the good people of the Pal metto State are crying out against it. We are now in our new stable and have greatly reduced our expenses, consequently we are in a position to sell horses, mules, buggies, harness and wagons much cheaper than^ever before. ] TheliaiefLivIStocirCa Safeguard the Children.
