I* ? ?? ???? Noldier of Two Wars Celebrates His 80th Hirthday On February 25th, 1904, Mr. Aaron Adams, living near Primus, had the pleasure of meeting many of his children and grandchildren and other friends at his home. * Twenty three grandchildren, two sons and three daughters were 1 present, and in all there were 63 1 present for dinner. It was a very snlotrm rwrnsinn In ninnl with mm of the oldest veterans in the eastern part of the county, as all took ' leave lor home not knowing that we would meet again in this life. Mr. Adams was a member o( the famous Palmetto Regiment in Mexico, of which its last survivor will soon have passed away and the time cannot be long, lor Lan- ' caster county has only three liv- ' ing?Ca-pt. McManus and Mr. Clanton being the other two. I ! notice only a few days ago the ; last one of York county's Mexican 1 soldiers passed away to join the roll-call in the world beyond, i Our government gives each one a < small pension which helps them 1 in their old age, and although ] they served in the Confederate . war and took part in some of the i hardest-fought battles and were 1 wounded, yet our proud Palmetto State will not allow a Mexican soldier that draws from the U.S. 1 government a pension. Thous- i nndc o ro /lronrinir f ( lin of <> t n uiiuo niu vi* o n 111^ iivnii i nc ni aic that are no more worthy than are ] these Mexican soldiers. My ex perienee is that nothing is lair in < war, and not much in time of peace. Long may the old veterans live ] and may they have many, many birthday dinners yet and meet with their children and friends. < Confederate Veteran. Treasurer of Barnwell Short ; $11,500.

Another Effective Bombardment.. Liao Yang, Manchuria, Feb. 29.? Foreigners living at Yin Dow say that tlie Japanese fleet has received orders to at tack and capture Port Arthur, March 1, at all costs. London, March 1.?A dispatch to The Daily Telegraph from Yin Kow, dated February 29, says: "Fifteen Japanese warships furiously bombarded Port Arthur from 10 to 12 a'clock this morning. The Russian cruisers Novik, Askold and Bay an, accompanied by four torpedo boats, steamed out to meet the attack. They were, however, forced to retire. The Askold was in a sinking condition. The Novik was badly damaged and a torpedo boat was sunk. The Russian battle ship Retvizan was again dam aged. The Japanese withdrew in good order." Chefoo, Feb. 29.?The Twenty-ninth Japanese infantry occupying Ping Yang, midway between Seoul and the Yalu river on Sunday met a body of Russian cavalry scouts north of Ping Yang and drove them back. It is estimated that GO,000 Japanese troops have landed at Uhemulpo. The transports now are not escorted by war vessels. The Japanese sailors who manned the merchant vessels which wore sunk at Port Arthur on landing here, shaved their heads as a mark of disgrace they felt at the failure of the project. The crew of the Jinzen j M x - * V warn wrote uieir names on ilie foremost Hag which remained nbovo water when the ship went down. Washington, Feb. 21).?Uni ted States Minister Allen cables the state department from Seoul that in pursuance of an arrangement he lias made with the Japanese minister, a returning transport will bring Americans from Ping Yang, a point in northwest Corea, near the bor iler of Manchuria.
