Tuesday. March 7. IMS.
Probably the biggfet battle of the
war ia now raging and the ease looks
hope 1ms for tbe Russians. Their
Mai defeat would Dot surprise the
world.
The legislature adjourned yester
day. It spite of a good deal of hos
tile criticism, the session did very
good work. Among the more im
portant things are the completion of
a new code, the strengthening of the
Watts law, provision for increased
facilities at the hospitals, the passage
of strong divorce law, settlement
of the Shaffer bonds, and other
things. In the way of Kcal legisla
tion, our representatives enacted the
following laws:
A medical dispensary to go into
effect June 1st. If the people become
dissatisfied with it they can ute on
the question in ninety davs. This is
t genuine prohibition measure, and
no liquor can be bought except for
cases of absolute sickness. Violations
of the law are to be punished by
heavy fines and imprisonment
Allowing the chain gang to work
the streets of Monroe at the town's
expense in case township funds be
come exhausted.
A landlord and tenant act
Election of nad commissioners by
the people of Monroe township.
Incorporation of Wingate and Min
end Springs.
Allowing a vote in Monroe on the
question of refunding bonds and
sewerage system.
Strenuous Times at the Inaugural.

Roosevelt luck was in evidence to
day and did not desert the man who
was tr uwformed from president bv
chance into president by choice. It
was an ideal spring day, and this too
in spite of the forecast of rain by the
local weather bureau. "Just Teddy's
luck," was the comment of the tens
of thousands of people, who came
here to participate in the celebration
of the nation s greatest holiday occa
sion. There were a few thin clouds
just before noon that indicated rain,
but they soon disappeared.
The crowds were simply immense,
greater, in the opinion of veterans of
inauguration ceremonies than were
ever known before. North Caro
linians were even-where, taking
prominent part in the festivities of
of the day. It would be impossible
to enumerate them, for included in
the extremely large representation
were the governor, members of the
legislature, men prominent in the
business life of the State, and girls
lots of them as pretty as the pret
tiest that give life and color to the
great throng that swept over Wash
ington.
Governor Glenn was the central
figure of the North Carolina colony,
and he experienced one of the stren
uous days in his life, liesules wit
nessing the ceremonies at the capi
tal, attending the administration of
the oath to the president and vice
president, the governor rode at the
bead of the North t aril ma troops in
the parade and witnessed the inaug
ural ball. At all times he was at
tended by his stall save one. It was
then that he felt like issuing a
"strayed, lost or stolen" advertise
ment, but happily the chief execu
tive came into his own. The gover
nor's staff had an engagement to
meet him in Ik'laware avenue after
the capital ceremonies were over, but
the immense crowd swarming every
where was responsible for their sep
aration. It was then that Governor
(ilenn abandoned all idea of partici
pating in the parade, and he made
his way to the president's reviewing
stand, where he had complimentary
tickets.
His arrival there was not without
hardships. Ac one time he was
caught in a flying wedge of two con
tending crowds that w ere endeavor
ing to make the same point, though
from opposite directions, and was
fairly lifted from his feet. A woman
near the governor was crushed and
fainted. As soon as he reached the
reviewing stand the governor was
located by his staff, and then he re
turned to the avenue, where he se
cured bis mount and took part in the
parade. He was enthusiastically
cheered, as were the two companies
of North Carolina troops from Char
lotte and Wilmington, at various
points along the line of march.
The greatest crowd ever seen in
Monroe was tbe jam of people get
ting tbe great bargains at The Peo
ple's Dry Goods Company's great
red tag clearing sale last Saturday.
Great sacrifice on clothing, dry
goods and shoes. Buy now even if
you lay tbe goods away for future.

Ta ta Famm .( I atea Caaatj :
I want to call your attention to the
importance of yur holding your cot
ton. It ia one of the purposes of the
Southern Cotton Association to make
the remainder of the I'M crop now
in the fanners' hands bring 10 cent.
as well as to secure a minimum price
of 10 cent for tbe crop of rJUx
And to accomplish this the associa
tion has asked all cotton growers to
reduce their acreage at least 25 per
cent and to hold the cotton now on
hand until June, by which time it is
proposed to have 2,0OO,0UO bales re
tired, tied up so as not to let it go on
the market until after October, and
thus enable the holder to get 10 cent
for the remainder; and with reduced
acreage and its consequent small
crop, the 2,UOO,000 bales so retired
will bring 10 cents. Can it be dime'
The brainiest men in the Suth say
that it can, that it is perfectly feasi
ble. W ill it be done? 1 hat depend
upon the co-operation of the farmer
Will he hold and plant less and
thereby insure prosperity to himself
and country, or will he sell and go
on in the old go-as-vou-please way
and invite disaster? This is now the
bone of contention among the cotton
bears. The farmer's friends say he
will; the bears say he won't
Mr. Price knows that the Southern
Cotton Association, with the cooper
ation of the farmer, can accomplish
its purposes, and in consequence he
is spending hundreds and thousands
of dollars in sending out bear liters
ture, and in advertisements, to stam
pede the farmer into selling his cot
ton and thereby thwart the purposes
of the association.
Mr. Price don't care whether the
South plants much or little, just
they turn loose their holdings now
He is distressingly short on cotton
so much so that he has written to
thousands of cotton buyers in the
South for prices on dog-tail cotton
He wants cheap cotton to till his con
tracts, and cotton he must have or
go to the wall. Are you going to let
him have it at his price, or hold for
the price set by the Southern Cotton
AssxK-iation.'
There is to be a meeting of the
executive committee at New Orleans
next Friday to perfect plans by which
2,(KHUK)0 bales can be retired; and
Mr. J. A. Brown is on that commit
tee, and for that reason he cannot be
with us as expected, but has prom
ised that if he can spare the time, to
be be with us later.
1 therefore call a meeting of I'nion
Countv Cotton Growers' Association
for March ISth, at 11 o'clock, a!
court house in Monroe, to transact
such business as may come before it
In the meantime let the collections
be pushed in every school distric
and the amount be brought and re
ported to the county meeting, when
a county treasurer will be elected.
Hold your cotton! 1 he feeling of
a great many I nion county farmers
could be expressed in the following
words of the Mississippi poet:

Corrmpnmi.n of Th. Journal.
Although Dudley is no longer
postollice since the farmers' friend,
the K. F. D., supplies its place, this
is still known as the neighborhood
of liudley. In this, my initial letter
to the Journal, I will give some rea
sons why I think it might be inter
esting to readers of The Journal to
have some news from our busy little
place in it sometimes. We who live
so near the aorth (. arolina line are
almost Tar Heels. Our people and
yours are very closely allied. We
trade with each other, attend the
same places of amusement and the
same churches. We marry each oth
er, visit each other's sick, and help
to bury each others dead. So we
are not strangers, we South taro-
linians and our friends across the
line. Now for a few items.
Mrs. A. M. Funderbtirk is quite
sick.
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Fletcher of
Hartsville, S. C. Mr. and Mrs. I. P.
Mangumof Chesterfield, and Mr. and
Mrs. O. C. Curlee of Monroe visited
here recently. Mr. Curlee always
takes an active part in our Sunday
school and we are always glad to
have him come.
Messrs. F. B. Funderburk and Wil
lis Jenkins have put up a new outfit
of machinery here for ginning, saw
ing and grinning, and are already-
sawing.
Mr. W. C. Funderbtirk and Miss
Annie Fowler of Mint Hill, N. C,
were married recently. We wish
them long life and happiness.
There is a case of smallpox in our
midst We wish there was some
means of quarantining country small
pox families or compelling country
people to be vaccinated, for it is sure
to spread if something is not done to
stop it
Mr. T. A. Funderburk has return
ed to the Magdaline Hospital at Ches
ter for treatment for the abscess in
his sida His son Oscar, who was
also treated there, is about well.
The Journal is an interesting
paper, full of the latest happenings
and discussions of up-to-date sub
jects, and we wish it much success,

The little new which is permitted
to sift through from Manchuria indi
dicates that General Ruropatkin has
met a severe reverse, and his amy
is now threatened with utter ruin.
According to a dispatch which the
Russian commander is said to have
sent to the Kmemr, a Japanese
force of some 2U0.0U0 men has bro
ken through the lines, and i now en
route to Mukden. This news, which
comes via Berlin, is interpreted by
(n-rman government official to mean
that General Ruropatkin has, in fact,
been fully beaten; that hi army will
be dispersed, and the railroad north
of Mukden will be cut. The infor
mation here quoted may or may not
be entirely accurate, but there is
every reason to believe that the Jap
have the Kussians practically at their
mercy, and that if the Czars troop
have not already abandonel Mukdeu
anJ begun the retreat toward Harbin,
on the north, it is only a matter of
short time until they will do so. The
sudden shut-down of the censors
upon news from the held of hostili
ties a few days ago doubtless had an
ominous meaning. 1 hat tbe Japa
nese have continued the work of bet
tering their position is not to be
doubted, and they were in all prob
ability prepared to rush Ruropatkin
toward the outer edge of Manchuria
just as they have, step by step,
pushed him back since troops were
tirst landed in Korea, nearly a year
ago. Harbin is generally recognized
as marking the northern extremity
of Manchuria, so far as Japan is con
cerned. Therefore, whenever Oyama
succeeds in making Ruropatkin re
treat thither, he will have attained
one of the things for which Japan
went to war the evacuation of Man
churia by the Kussians. Harbin is
one of the new towns w hich Russia
established when she built the Sibe
rian railrivad. It is located 300 miles
north of Mukden, and is the most
important inland point in that por
tion of the country. The railroad
from Miwcow the Russian soldiers'
sole dependence for supplies
branches at Harbin, one prong going
to Vladivostok, on the east, and the
other down to Port Arthur, via Muk
den. Should the Japanese succeed
in cutting the railroad between Muk
den and Harbin before Ruropatkin's
troops have gotten away, they would
be in descrite plight. Little has
been said recently about the strain
on the Siberian railroad in transmit
ting troops and supplies to the front.
but a recent dispatch asserts that
few troops can now be handled, aad
that a new danger now threatens
Russia: that towns along the road
must be furnished with supplies, in
addition to the great amount that is
necessary to send the troops. All in
all, General Ruropatkin is now per
haps in the saddest plight that he
has been in since his defeat in the
great battles of some months ago, if,
indeed, his situation is not worse
than it has ever Uvn.
Realizing the deplorable condition
at home and abroad, the Czar has
yielded to the people and made a
definite promise to allow them a
share in the government. He ex
presses a faith in the ultimate out-

The demand for white materials for shirt waists and shirt waist suits equals
any of the past seasons. The bargains we are offering in the popular white
materials surpass anything we have put on sale. Our efforts to intensify the
interest in our every "white" department have met with splendid success. Our
large purchases have in every instauce been made under the market, and our
customary way of selling everything at a close profit makes our bargains in
"white" much under usual value.

Mr. Bradley was suspended to await
his trial by the conference of his
church at Greensboro next fall, hav
ing in the meanwhile to give up his
work as a minister and retire to his
home in Gaston ia.
It does seem that the facts in
volved in the above statement show
aim wt a reductio ad altsurdum o' the
laudable crusade of the churches for
more stringent laws on the subject
of divorce. Nothing was ever gained
by the extreme exploitation of a the
ory, however desirable it might be
in the abstract But this action,
based as it doubtless is upon the
movement for pure divorce laws,
overstep the bounds of reason and
strains at the gnat to the injury of a
gxxi man. 1 hese preachers should
realize that that there can be sincer
ity of conviction without attendant
persecution; and that a too zealous
and too narrow pursuit of even a
worthy idea is always ready to be
used by a more wicked, but broader
sighted, world as worse than the
blindness which it really is.
Where is the logic in making a
cause for reprimand out of the mar
riage of a good man to a good wom
an, because the latter having oeen
betraved into an unfortunate mar
riage was afterwards released from
her burden bv a duly constituted
court and jury? And who shall dare
to say that the pure woman married
to a criminal husband who has de
serted her is to be blamed or held to
reproach if she desires to avail her
self of the laws uKn the statute
books which hold out to her a means
of escaie?
The Wadesboro Messenger and In
telligencer, published in the county
in which Mrs. Bradley was born and
raised, says:
"Mrs. Bradley was Miss Minnie
Lmery of Morven before her mar-
riane to II. U. Mnilii several years
a0. Her family is one of the b. st
in the county and in her trouble sh
had the sympathy of all good people
who knew the circumstances of th
distressing situation in which she
was placet!, and if ever a wife was
justified in securing a divorce she
certainly was."
