The old crop ia uot cutting any figure just now; they know what that ia But will the acreage be reduced! That is the question. Now, when such mighty results hang in the balance, is there a man in Union county who will refuse to give aid and encouragement to the Southern Cotton Association, the purposes of which if consummated, mean so much to every southern industry. It means better homes, more and better things to eat, better educa tional facilities, happier children, a contented and proserous people.

The Char lotte Observer turns up the events up to yesterday morning as follows: W hile (ieneral kuropatkin has ap parently succeeded in saving more of his artillery than seemed ptusible, his losses in men, ammunition and commissariat supplies in the battle of Mukden are far greater than earlier reports indicated, and even that portion of his army which he succeeded in extricating from the positions around Mukden is still in serious danger. Tbe Japanese gen erala, realizing that with a little more speed they could have inflicted a crushing defeat on the Russian army after the battle of Liao Yang, determined not to again allow an op portunity to pass, and are following after the defeated and sorely tried Kuatuan forces. bile a small por tion of kuropatkin army has reach ed Tie Pass, the greater part of those who escaped from the battle of Milk den are still struggling northward being at last accounts between I and 13 miles from their goal, with the Japanese, flushed with victory and reinforced by fresh men, harass ing them from all sides. Even should the remnants of the army reach Tie Pass, it is hardly possible for it to make a stand there against the over whelming force opposing it, and especially as the Russians most be worn out and weakened by the loss of men, guns and ammunition. It is more likely that Kuropatkin will fall right back to Harbin with what he can save and wait there for the re-enforcements that St. Peters burg already has promised him. A possible obstacle to the plan is Gen eral Kamamura'i army, which has not yet been located and which may also be beading for the northern capital General Kuropatkin admits that 1,190 officers and 46,931 men are not responding to roll calls. This is rather vague. It may or man not include the thousands of wounded who have been sent north, and again it may not include the losses suffer ed by the Third Army, with which the commander-in-chief was not in communication for some time. The figures given by the Japanese War Omceapiear more reasonable, name ly: 40,(HW prisoners, 26,5X) dead left on the field, and 90,(XX killed or wounded, the latter figure, of course, including the dead found by the Japanese. 1 lie Kussian. losses. therefore, total much over 100,000 men, or more than one-third of the whole army. The fact that the Ja panese report the capture of only sixty guns indicates that Kuropat kin, at the last moment succeeded in sending a considerable portion of hit artillery northward on the rail way. The Japanese losses up to this morning were reported as 4i,uuu, not including the army which pushed north between Mukden and r ushun. Official Russia ia determined to carry on the war, and St. Petersburg reports that orders have been issued for the mobilization of more troops Tbia may prove a difficult task with the temper of the Kussian people in its present condition. There is still hope in St Petersburg that Russia can exhaust Japan financially, and for months there has been talk of the mobilization of an army on the Sibe rian border which would compel Japan to keep her vast army in Manchuria. JAPAN RSS OAST ALT! BS 41,222. Tokio, March 12. A dispatch from Japanese military headquarters announces the estimate of prisoners captured up to and including Friday at 20,000. Since that time the num ber has been briskly increasing, and the total will exceed 30,000. The dispatch continues: Reports from the chiefs of the medical corps of all the armies have been received from February 26 to March 12. Our total casualties at that time were 41,222."
