GLASGOW HOARY WITH AGE.
Siottlah Metropolis Wai Founded
1,800 Years Ago.
We hear a great deal iu these
days in praise of Glasgow as a truly
model city and of its municipalizing
in the interest of the citizens of
nearly every public franchise. That
is all true, and Glasgow highly mer
its all praise bestowed upon it- At
present, however, we would briefly
remind our readers of Glasgow in
the olden time, hundreds of years
before It obtained ils present stale
of perfection, and of which wo now
rarely hear a word.
It is about 1,800 years since Glas
gow was founded by Kentigern 01
St. Mungo, but the city did not
nmoont to much until nfter tho act
of union between Scotland and ling
land, about 200 years ago. It wai
that act which enabled the mer
chant adventurers of Glasgow to
rend out their ships to Virginia and
Maryland for cargoes of tobacco
leaf: Thus tobacco manufacture
was the first important foreign
trade and home industry established
by Glasgow enterprise.
Very soon the city became the
center of the tobacco traffic. For q
long time thereafter the "tobacco
lords" of Glasgow in their scarlet
robes and on their own privileged
beat were almost as strongly marked
figures in history as were the mer
chants of Venice. When the Ameri
can colonies revolted and the Unit
ed States republic was established
Glasgow lost its flourishing tobacco
trade, but some of the "tobacco
lords," who held heavy stocks, made
enormous fortunes by the rise in
prices. These fortunes formed the
foundation of larger enterprises
elsewhere and the begetting of tho
numerous "merchant princes" that
soon characterized Glasgow.
When driven from Virginia the
adventurers established trade with
the West Indies, where sugar s.io
ceded tobacco as a staple of trade.
Then came cotton and next coal,
which was soon followed by irou.
Meantime there bad been a continU'
ous development of trade with In
dia, with China, with South Amer
ica, with the United States and ulti
mately with Australia' and New
Zealand. Till then the Clyde had
been little better than a stagnant
ditch, but Glasgow by degrees
formed a deep, broad, navigable wa
terway, and then came commerce
and shipbuilding.—Scottish-Ameri

A SECOND ATTACK ON
VLADIVOSTOK
It is Rumored That the Place was Bom
barded Monday and that a Japanese
Cruiser was Sunk-Nothing Known
of the Whereabouts of the Rus
sian Squadron.
London, March 8. —The Japanese
have not ytt issued a report on the
bombardment in Vladivostock, and
no news of importance on the sub
ject has been received from Russian
official sources.
The St. Petersburg correspond
ent of the Standard says he is in
formed that the czar received a tele
gram to the effect that the Japanese
had been bombarding Vladivostock
all day Monday. The telegram
adds that one or two of the Japa
nese cruisers were sunk.
Nothing defiuite has been re
ceived here concerning the Russian
Vladivostock squadron. Nothing
has been received to confirm the
statement that the Russians are
maltreating Coreans who turned
upon them and drove them across
the Yalu river.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Seoul says that thw perfect of Siong -
chun, fifteen miles south of Wiju,
reports that 600 Russians there
have acinulated stores and ammuni
tion for twenty thousand troops,
who have crossed the Yalu river
and who are expected at Yong
Chun sliortlv.
So far as can be ascertained noth
ing is happening at Port Arthur
except the daily puzzle of civilians
to obtain food, for which, it is stat
ed, prodigious prices are demanded.
Vegetables cannot be obtained at
all.
A dispatch to the Express from
Aden states that the Russians have
a sceret coal supply at Iha Island
of Jebelzukur, whence their war
ships in the Red Sea obtain fuel. A
large collier, probably several, is
concealed in the inlet behind the
islands.
Another version ot the alleged
attempt to blow up a bridge across
the Volga, which yesterday was at
tributed to Japanese disguised as
Tatars, says that the Japanese
were disguised as nuns.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Ping Yang savs that 2,000
Russian cavalry with seven guns,
retreated March 2 through Kurong
and Soncheon towards WIJU. They
destroyed telegraph wires and poles.
The correspondent of the Mail at
Ying Kow says that the Russians
deny that any Russian ships were
lost or damaged in the last engage
ment at Port Arthur. They pro
duced prqofs which satisfied the
correspondent that their statemen's
were correct. They also deny that
the Russians have occupied Sim
minting, either the town, railway
or telegraph. Only Cossack patrols
have been occasionally visiting the
town to recounoitre. The director
of the Chinese telegraphs confirms
the last statement.
A dispatch to the Telegraph
from Tokio says that the British
cruuer Talbot has left Gensan to
bring the missionaries fron Song
Chim It adds that Coreans are
hostile to the Russians.
It is reported that there are signs
of ice at Vladivostock breaking up,
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Haroln says that General Sakarofl,
commanding the first corps arrived
here Sunday. Troops continue to
pass through the town going south.
The railway is working with re
markable regularity and without
accident. Men, animals and ma
terial are huddled together in the
cars, each of which iusupplied with
a stove. The people at Vladivos
tock believe the place is impreg
nable. There is an ample supply
of food in the town.
A dispatch to the Times from
Tokio says that a Japan squadron
took possession of Haiyanteau Is
land February 29, but found ouly
stores of coal, the Russians having

evacuated February 23. Russian
troops continue to move south from
Posseit bay towards SOUR Chin.
The Vladivostock squadron is ap
parently covering the communica
tions at Vladivostock.
Proper TreiSmut o( Pneumonia
Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor hiaaelf, although he may
haw the proper remedies at hand.
A physician should always be called
It should be borne in mind, how
ever, that pneumonia always re
salts from a cola or from an attack
of the grip, and that by giving
Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy the
threatened* attack of pneumonia
may be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the
treatment of pneumonia with the
best results. Dr. W. J Smith, of
Sanders, Ala., who is also a drug
gist, says of it: "I have been sell
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice
for the past six years. I use it in
cases of pneumonia and have al
ways gotten the best results." Sold
by S. R. Biggs.
Pltl County at the Exposition
In the tobacco exhibit at the St.
I.ouis I'Jx-po..ition the Greenville
market will have a creditable place.
Some weeks ago Mrs T. K. Burner,
secretary of the Board of Agii
culture of North Carofina and
special commissioner of the tobacco
exhibit for the United States at the
St Exposition,came to
ville in the interest of the North
Carolina exhibit. As a rasult of
his visit a meeting of the tobacco
board of trade was called and com -1
mittees were appointed by the
president to ra,ige a fund of two
hundred dollars and to get tip
camples of tobacco, etc., for the
purpose of making an exhibit.
These committees completed their
work last week and 011 Saturday
morning the President of the Board
of Trale, Mr. M. A. Allen, sent
his check for $:oo to the state
treasurer, together' with the samples
etc., that will constitute Green
viUe's part of the North Carolina
tobacco exhibit at the world's fair.
If every tobacco market in the
state will do a* well as
Greeuvilie has done, tobacconist
from the old North State visiting
the exposition will have no cause
to be ashamed of their state. —
Greenville Reflector.
A Fiwiti Raotady for Babies
Its pleasant taste and prompt
cures have made Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy a favorite with the
mothers of small children. It quick
ly cures their coughs and colds and
prevents any danger of pneumonia
or other serious consequences. It
not only cures croup,but when giv*
en as soon as the croupy cough ap
pears will prevent the attack. For
