Tbe place had been fortified by the Russians, who defended it stoutly In the fighting General Kuroki's troops drove the Russians from their strongly fortified position on the Ohio river which is northwest of Motien Pass, and east of Anping, indicting upon the enemy mora serious loses than tbey sustaiued themselves. The fight began on the 18th and ended on the I'.Uh. The Japanese lost 424 men killed and wounded. The Russian loss es are estimated at one thousand. General Karoki began his ad vance early in the morning of the 18th. He uncovered and followed the enemy along the Chi river. The Russians seamed to be retiring to the northward when suddenly two battalions with eight guna turned and attacked the Japai ese ""advance guard vigorously. At this point the Japanese suffered before relief came, one company losing all ita officers. At a late hour in the afternoon theRussians, position waa developed. Tbey oocupied it until dark while the Japanese forces bivouacked. The Russians made two counter attacks, but were repulsed in each case. The Japanees renewed the at tack at midnight, placing their ar tillery in the valley below and in the high ground to the south of the Russian position. The main Japanese body was assigned to at . tack the Rusiana - position. A small detachment was sent to ward the right flank and another to watch the enemy's left flank. After these positions bad been taken the fighting oeased for a time but it was resumed at dawn. The Russians had 32 guns in aotion, and vigorously shelled the Japanese. To this fire the Japans replied and the bombardment lasted for four hours.

Aged Maxtoa Physician Dead. A special from Maxton to the Charlotte' .Observer of -the 23rd says: "Dr. W. L., Burns was found dead in the road near Pat terson Park this evening. He had been in failing health and -It is thought he fell aud was drowned in the very heavy rain which was falling. Dr. Burns was once a prominent physician of this place." , Ira L. Pitman. Ir Lemons Pitman, the sixth child of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Pitman, waa born Sfpt. and. 18S4 and died July 10, 1904. He was tick for four weeks with typhoid fever and bore his sufferings with great patience. From the time of his birth he bad been a good boy, always devoted to his home and there, that training which taught htm that which is so valuable to all bovs was given. He turned early to the ways of the church, but did not connect him self with one until his thirteenth year, whea he was received into the Back Swamp Baptist church. He lived a con sistent christian life until h's death. He was prepared for college at the Back Swamp Academy and Robeson In stitute. In the fall of 1903 he was pre pared and entered the Freshman class at Wake Forest College, but on account of bad health was prevented from complete ing his year. While at college he was popular with bis classmates and was especially noted for being studious. He was quiet, unassuming and unobt-usive He never shirked duty whether in clasa room or literary society and was one of the Freshmen for whom a future had been predicted. He waa a member of the college Y. M. C. A. and attended the meetings regularly. He did not neglect the spiritual side of education, which is so frequent among college students. In the home circle he' was the pride of the family, he was an obedient and an affectionate son. a devoted brother and a loyal friend. An almost ever present smile flitted over his face and he had disposition that was to be envied by any boy. It was a pleasure to me to have known him and to have numbered him as one of my friends. When hi last honr came and he real Ized that the end was near he gave the sorrowing loved onee the comforting as surance, "I am ell righU? - What a com fort this must be to the bereaved parent! Sorrowing ; iriends , and school mates tenderly laid him away .in the family burying ground on the day following his death. Floral offerings, the sign of the esteem in which he was held, were placed on his grave, but the memory of his character far surpasses them in lasting beauty. He was one of the best boys that I ever knew. His many friends will hold him in ten der remembrance and they sympath.ze most deeply with the bereaved! family. They have lost their jeel, but we too have lost a true and loyal friend. No frther seek his merits to disclose. Or draw his frailties from their dread abode.
