In the valley of Mouse are the
towns Of Herve, Pepinster, Verviers,
Wise and Argenteau, which are re.
ported to have been attacked and in
some instances sacked and burned
by the German invaders. They are
the gateways to Belgium's famous re-
sorts. Spa, where many Americans
are known to be, lies only two miles
south of Pepinster. The railroad at
Pepinster is reported to- have been
destroyed, shutting off any oppor.
tunity for escape of all foreigners.
Verviers, where reports say the Ger
mans met their first repulse, is the
wooden center of Belgium and is
famed for it's factories.

CY LYLE'S CANDIDACY.

Cy Lyle, editor of the Johnson City
Comet, has been chosen by the demo-
Gratis of the First congressional dis
trict as their candidate for congress,
and in recent issue of his paper
says: If the democrats will stand up
and be counted this year; let the re-
publican votes go where they will, a
democrat will be elected, and that is
just why l am making the race" Con-
sidering the bitter controversy raging
between Congressman Sells and J. B.
Cox-both republicans would seem
that Mr.. Lyle ought to have good
chance for election. There was a time
when the democrats of the district
were loyal to the party nominees, and
when in memory of the distresses and
humiliations to which they more than
any other citizens of the state suffered
by reason of republican oppression
and vindictiveness, they esteemed it
not only a duty but proud pleasure
W luClI FOJCO against lCpuOAA-
can nominees. But that was in the
days not long succeeding period
when it was, as the late Col. Jim
White used to say, "as much as a
mans life was worth to stump for
democracy"
But these be strange times and many
democrats have lost their party's per-
spective. They have had dust thrown
in their eyes by the willy politician
from Newport and have forgotten,
many of them, at least, the travail of
their fathers. Perhaps Mr.. Lyle may
be able to arouse them by showing
them how they have been deceived and
paltered with; if he should be able to
do this, there are no people anywhere
more capable of resenting a wrong
than they. Lyle is clean, square,
honest man and that makes strong
appeal to the people of his district

HAS HATM THE RING.

In the Comet of last week, Col. G.
II. Lyle the editor announced his can
didacy for congress, from the first con-
gressional district He cites the re-
turn of Maine to the democratic par
ty in his announcement and sees no
reason why the first district can't do
likewise and be recovered from the re-
publicans and restored to democracy.
He states further in his announcement
that he expects to make a canvass of
the district at once and if all the dem
ocrats will do their duty this district
will be represented by democrat in
the next congress, the first since 1878,
when Our Bob" Taylor defeated Maj.
Pettibone. There is nothing impossi-
BILE for them who love democracy and
it's great and peaceful leader, Hon.

LITTLE "BOBBIE" WHITLOCK
DIED TUESDAY EVENING,

Little Robert Whitlock, the Z year
old son of Mrs. Mary Crumley Whit
lock died Tuesday evening about six
O'Clock with engioneurotic edema, the
same affection that his father died
with few months ago. The little fell
lows throat began to swell about
noon and in spite of constant treat
ment continued to swell until about
six o'clock there seemed to be a spas
modic structure of the windpipe and in
moment he was dead in the arms of
his attending physician who had spent
several hours with him. He was a
bright little fellow and the joy of the
household and neighbors and hi
death comes as a terrible affiicition to
his widowed mother and loved ones.
The funeral will be conducted at the
home this afternoon at two o'clock by
Revs w. NJ Morrell and w. F. Green
and DR.. j. A. Ruble. The remains
will be laid to rest in Oak Hill. The
Borrowing family have the sincere
sympathy OF host of friends in their
great distress.

THE CAMPAIGN PEN.

President Wilson will not address
the voters of Tennessee in behalf OF
Gen. Rye. 1t was his intention to
speak in the name of democracy, not
only in Tennessee, but also in Penn
sylvania and Ohio. He finds that he
will be unable to leave Washington.
His first duty, during the present crit
ical time, demands that he remain at
the White House.
Secretary Bryan, Secretary Daniels
and Senator Ollie James will do what
they can to stimulate the spirit of
democracy in Tennessee before the
November election.
President Wilson is strong believ-
er in the power of the pen. He is
justified in his belief because he is,
unquestionably the best letter writer
in his party today. He will indulge
this talent. He has been sending let
ters to his close personal friends in
doubtful states, urging them, in the
name of the administration, to secure
the election of democratic candidates
President Wilson is placing himself
in the background. He is urging the
election of democrats Talk of his re-
nomination is for the time being rele-
gated to the background.
At the same time letters of a per-
sonal character do great deal tow
ard cementing friendships. A person
al letter from man of eminence as
Woodrow Wilson naturally knits clos
er certain friendly bonds which in la
ter weeks may be helpful If the presi-
dent desires to serve a second term.
1t will be remembered while Senator
German and other democrats aspir-
ants for the presidency were Smelling
the woods, President Cleveland secur-
ed the third nomination by adroitly
writing letters to men of influence in
the party.
In the present instance President
Wilson cannot be accused of any sell
fish motive in his letter writing ener-
gy. He is sincerely hopeful for the
future of his party. He has made
many personal sacrifices in order that
the given programme of the admins
tration might be successfully carried
out
He is greatly interested in the fu-
ture of Tennessee. His brother lived
in Tennessee. Tennessee is one of the
original democratic states. Tennessee
has given birth to many of the great
est democrats who have ever served
