When we stated last week that
it would cost SIS per acre to dig
that drainage canal, it was based
on the engineers report of $18
per acre, when we al know their
estimate was the minimum. .......
Now that all the county team is
hitched up the voter will say
which is the best puller "Jonny
or Georgy". There was a good
September crowd here Monday,
and everybody in a good humor.
The more one reads about
the war the less he knows about
it, as the reports conflict. 1t is
too big a war, anyhow, for one
man to follow. ........A light rain
Monday with clear Tuesday will
not retard cotton picking, which
is on hand this week. Cotton
never was known to open as
early and rapidly as this season..

easily $50 this week. .......A num-
Der of delegates attended the re-
publican convention at jackson

tee........ There has been efficient
street grading on upper Court
Ave. within the past few days.

urday night was well attended,
and the crowd seemed to enjoy
much of the mimicry and charac-
ter rendition. THE plan to cut
down the next cotton crop is for
banks and merchants to refuse
money to planters, unless they
cut their crop one half. This will
relieve the price of the present
crop. ....... Loca, politics is getting
a little hot in spots, Keep your
underclothing on boys....... The
last war engagements show the
allies had the best of it. Some
thing big will soon be doing. 49,.

EUROPEAN CONTEST IS
LIKE A CHESS GAME
CHAMPION PLAYER, A SWISS,
SHOWS DIFFERENT MOVES
ON WAR MAP.


BERLIN. Oct. 2s.-(By Mail to
New York. Even chess Is having
part In this great war. Such an
eminent master OF pawns, rocks and
castles as DIR. Emanuel Lasker, the
champion Of the world, compares the
campaign now being fought on
French territory with the ancient and
honorable chess.
For example he draws an analogy
between the radical change in chess
tactics instituted by Morphy and car
ried on by Steinitz and the present
grand tactics OF war.
Today the advantage In both mill
tary and chess tactics is gained by
slow preparation and systematic exc
cution. Final victory Is achieved by
the gradual building up of small ad-
yantages. robbing the enemy OF the
ability to move and then forcing them
into defeat.
Lasker has made a study of the
campaign in France and this is what
he says, in part:
AT present. when on line ex-
tending over 200 kilometers French
and German are opposing each other
we'll covered in trenches, a weakening
effect on either position remains
slight. The operations which bring
about a decision-rapidity of attack
on a gap in the center, the dexterious
encircling Of a wing. the sudden mass
ing OF troops or a bayonet attack
are impracticable in such a position
as the present.
For the cavalry there is nothing.
for the infantry little to do; the ar
tillery alone has the word. Day in.
day out, the artilley throws its shots
on the artillery Of the enemy. The
effect is slow, because the troops are
we'll protected, almost invisible, and
standing nowhere in massed forma-
ton. A turn of the flanks Is an OPP
Grafton Of great difficulty. as, with
the length OF the front. there is'hard-
ly room for the development OF a
thanking body.
I'm short, in the present position
OF affairs, a generals problem Is
quite analogous to the task OF 9
chess champion who has to take his
opponents strong position. AND
probably 1t will be the same menta
auxiliaries that will serve to provide
the solution.
1.-The position is a very favorable
enc for the Germans, because IL

The next objective of our army is Yer
