TWO ANTWERP FORTS
SILENCED BY GUNS
TAKEN FROM LIEGE
Bombardment and Aerial
Attacks Continue, But the
Kaiser's Infantry Abates
Furious Assault.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.

BERLIN, Oct 2.
| 1t is officially announced that the Ger
| man artillery has slenced two ANTWERP
forts. The heavy guns used agains
I.iege and Namur are now in action.
The fire of the German siege guns upor
the Antwerp forts is being directed from
two large balloons anchored behind theil
lines. Belgian aviators have attempted
three times to approach these balloons
met with a sharp fire and forced to re-
turn to Antwerp.
The bombardment OF the southern
chain OF fortihcations continues without
interruption. Under cover of last night
the Germans moved a number of their
guns closer to the city,
ANTWERP, Oct. ..
The attack on the Belgian forts by the
Germans continues night and day, but
the fury OF their infantry attacks upon
the Belgian troops has lesscned as a re-
suit Of a severe check they received near
Fort Wavre-Ste. Catherine. 1t is re-
ported that in the fighting there the
Germans lost 5000 IN killed alone,
The following statement was issued at
the War ONCE today:
The situation shows practically no
change The German guns have failed
TO reduce the forts and the morale Of
the Belgian troops is good, despite the
fact that the enemy is trying TO de-
moralize them by aerial attacks.
The Germans have been forced to
discontinue their infantry attacks be-
cause OF heavy losses incurred in their
assaults on our entrenched lines. They
are receiving reinforcements, however
and apparently intend 10 attack in
force.
The artillery duel that is now pro-
Cseding has resulted 10 our advantage
thus far. a number OF guns that the
Germans advanced within easy range
Of our forts have been sieHced.
ROADS CROWDED WITH REFUGEES.
For two days the roads in Antwerp
have been crowded with refugees. Hun

FARMERS ARE THINKING

The Columbia Is. c. State,
discussing the defeat Ex-Governor
Cole Blease for the United States
Senate, says that the farmers did
it, and adds:
additionally, the farmers are
aware of the serious conditions
that confront them, as are all
our people, on account of the war
in Europe, and it is a time for
all men to think dispassionately
and actsoberly.'
This paragraph should be OF
interest and warning to the far
mers of Virginia. They are also
confronted by serious conditions
growing out of the European war.
It is no time for them, or other
men who have interests at stake,
to vote for an increase of taxa
ton and unsettling of values,
such as Statewide prohibition
invariably produces, In other
words, they should do some
thinking here in Virginia before
they support the wild leadership
of the National Anti-Saloon Lea
que, of Westerville, Ohio. And
the indications are that they are
thinkinp!-ADVT.

fine HORSE ACTS
IN ROBBINS CIRCUS
Will Be Here With Many New
Attractions. Soon.

Every circus that comes to Wood
stock has horse acts 1t would not be
q circus if it did not, but none of them
have such performing horses as the
wonderful troupe of imported German
stations, brought to this country for
the Frank A. Robbins All Feature
Circus, which appears here twice on
Tuesday, Sept. 18th.
At an expense of 500. 600 these eight
coal black worders OF the equine world
twice a day give performance which
is unequaled in the annals of circus
dom. Under the direction OF Prof.
Joseph Bsrris, King of Horse Trainers
and without a peer in the show BUSH
ness today, the troupe 90 through the
most remarkable evolutions in the
ring, the whole act concluding when
Hector, king of the group, walks out
of the ring on his rear legs, to the
plaudits of all who witness the re-
markable act.
High school horses, bareback rid
ers, trained ponies and elephants
form but few of the features with
this show. Wire walkers unexcelled,
iron-jawed mel and women, numer-
Gus aerial acts, and troupe of
clowns second to none in the country
today, present two-honr program
which will delight young and old.
There is nothing old about the show
but the name.

T AXE GAL 0MEL
IS A BAD HABIT

So Powerful It Shocks Liver and
Leaves 1t Weaker Than Before.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is Bet
ter to Take.
Nearly everybody who has ever tried
calomal has found that it gives only a
temporary relief. For calomel is such
a powerful drug that it shocks and
weakens the liver and makes it less
able aftecward to do its duty than in
the first place.
This is one Of the reasons why Wal
ton and Smoot guarantee Dodson's
Liver Tone to take the place of cal
omel. Dodson's Liver Tone is pure
vegetable liver tonic that will cure
constipation quickly and gently. with
out any danger of bad after-effect.
1t is guaranteed TO do this with q
guarantee that is simple and fair.
II you buy =. bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for yourself or your chill
dren, and do not find that it perfectly
takes the place oil calomel, then return
to the store where you bought it and
get your money back with q smile.
