NO RELIEFFOE LADYSMITH
I)J»putcli Kroin ilie Front I) scribing
the Retirement S*y<* the Superiority
of the Hoer Shell Fire K*itder«l the
Advance Iniposs file.
London, Feb. 10 —The third attempt
of General Duller to relievo Ladysmith
has failed. Au Associated Press dis
patch dated “Headquarters Camp,
Springfield Bridge, Feb. 9,” gives the
story of his retirement to the south
side of the Tugeia river. It says:
4 ’The position taken north of Tugela
river proved a difficult oue to maintain.
The regiments sent across as reinforce*
ments went into the front lino of
trenches, bnt owing to the great strength
of the Boers in the Brakfoutein hills to
the left it was found impossible to ad
vance without risking unnecessary loss.
"The Boers continued shelling the
British position. Several ‘Long Tom’
•hells fell among the transport trains
and four burst on Zizaat kop, but the
Boers could not get the range. The
British guns posted there failed to si-
lance ‘Long Tom' or other masked guns.
The Boers continued to work the Nor-
denfeldts on the British infantry in
trenched on the hilL The fight was
severe at times.
"Wedneslay afternoon General Bul
ler resolved uot to press the advance
by this rente. The transport train
moved back and the infantry retiled
from Vaal Krantz.
"Wednesday night the guns of the
Swart Kop replied to the Boers’ shell
ing. When they commenced to shell
the transport train the Boers got a large
number of cannon into position.
"Their superiority of shell fire ren
dered the advance impossible."
Boers Hold Their Ground.
General Boiler is once more sonth of
the Tugela river; General MacDonald
is back at the Modder river, and appa
rently, the Boers have lost none of the
ascendency they have held so long.
Yet the news by no means canses the
aente disappointment attendant upon
the other failures to relieve Ladysmith.
This can be attributed to three
causes—first, there is a strong belief
that General Bailer’s last attempt was
only a demonstration on a large scale;
second, the wiser critics had warned
the pnblic not to expect the immediate
relief of General White; third, tboiL/t}-
tion has settled down to the realization
that the war will last a long time, and
they are not swayed as at first by minor
reverses and victories.
The second and third reasons are self
explaining. The first requires consid
erable elucidation. In tavor of the
opinion held by Spencer Wilkinson, the
military critic of the Morning Post,*
that General Buller did not intend im
mediately pushiug on to Ladysmith,
there is overwhelming evidence to show
that Field Marshal Lord Roberts or
dered systematic activity upon the part
of all forces. On this basis. General
Boiler's move mav ouiy be a repetition
of Geuerai McDonald’s and General
French’s reccvunoissaiices.
Buller Acts Under Order*.
< Mr. Balfoar’s ambiguous statement
about awaiting the completion of the
plans is another strong reason for be
lieving Geuerai Bu'ler never iatended
to make the mum advance via Vaal
Krantz, but was acting under the orders
of Lord Roberts. It is also curious that
the news of General Boiler'sreuremeut
first came from the Boer head laager
near Ladysmith and that the British
correspondents were freely allowed to
send dispatches bn.ore anything from
Guiur.il Buller was pub wuei.

ries and
Coll*Mncs, Ga., Feb 10.—This sec
tion of Georgia is being worked as nevtr
before by Mormon missionaries. Oc
casionally in the past sporadic efforts
have been made by the representatives
of this church to get a foothold in this
section of Georgia and Alabama, but
the country is now* being subjected to a
systematic canvas*.
Some time ago the Mormons founded
a church in Taylor county. The Mor
mons have established another church,
or rather "meeting place," up near the
Oak mountain*, ou the Southern rail
way, above Columbus. They havo
rented au old schoolhou^e, on the edge
of Oak mountain, a few miles from
Waverly Hail, and are nsing this as a
place for worship.
People in the cities do not appreciate
the extent of the work that is being
done in Georgia by the Mormons. They
havo canvassed tin country districts
very thoroughly and energetically, and
although they have uot met with any
great success, their work has been such
as to alarm the country prearHers of
the Methodist aud Baptist denomina
tions.
During the past lew months many
sermons ou Mormonisni havo been
preached by Protestant ministers in this
section. The country papers have been
devoting considerable space to articles
on the subject.
In Columbus, at a rocent meeting of
tbe Evangelical Ministers’ association,
a paper giving a history of Mormonism
and denouncing it was read, and reso
lutions were unanimously adopted ask
ing the local press to print it. These
incidents show bow the ministers of
other churches are aroused.
NEGRO ON THE WARPATH.
Tries to Kill ll»if a I). z-n Men Who
(allnit*tief<t Him.
Luverxe, Ala., Feb 10 —Virgil John
ston, a negro, who W'as arrested at Vi-
dettes, Ala., for un utteuipt to murder,
has made a sensational confession. Ho
says he was garnisheed and deliberately
determined to kill every man connected
with tbe garnishment proceedings, who
happened to be six of the most promi
nent men in Crenshaw county.
He armed himself with three revol
vers aud started out after his victims.
He commenced with J. W. Williams, a
sawmill operator, who had had the gar
nishment served, shot him in the ueck
and fled, but Williams’ emnloyes pur
sued him to cover, aud after he had
fired his 18 cartridges, secured him aud
brought him to jail.
The prisoner says he intended to kill
William*, his son, the justice of the
peace, tiie constable, the bailiff and a
notary who had issued some of the pa
pers, and regrets that his plans were
frustrated.
.vpnrHtK » «*••<•!» * For Kmchi,
Columbia, S C., Feb. 10.—The bill
providing for separate coaches for the
races, and abolishiiig class fares on rail
roads has passed both branches of the
legislature, ami will receive tiie gov
ernor’s signature A single fare fixed
at the uniform rate of 8 cents per mile
is provided. The plan of railroads di
viding coaches by partitions tor use of
the races is prohinited. Negroes and
whites must each liuve one full coach.
Three cents is one-fourth of aceutlower
than the present charges for firstclass.
L *m Thtriy l»nciVof Tow.
Memphis, Feb 10.—There is not
much hope for the strauded Joe B
Williams tow at Point Pleasant, Mo,
when risiug river combines with tho
frailty of coaibonts Intormuttou from
tho scene of the towboat's troubles is
that she had lo«t between 2(1 and 80
pieces of tow. This leaves from teu to
