MILLS RIVER P L

The box supper for the coming Fri
day evening is being advertised rath-
er extensively and the women of the
Betterment society and students as
well expect the patrons and many
others to help with their presence
and some of their money.
The students are very much de-
lighted with the condition of the floors
in the High school building since the
women put in a good supply of oil.
The students will be amply paid and
perhaps several doctor bills will be
overcome by getting rid of the big
amount of dust we had every day i'll
the school. Parents should look
into such health conditions as o
Germ their children in school.
The school boys had the pleasure
OF a ball game with the Rugby school
last week. The game was called of
in the last half of the eighth inning
with the score standing IL to 5 for
the high spirits of the high school.
A game was played by the Mills
River team against Fruitland with the
close score of 8 to 0 in favor of Mills

been very successful during the past
season.
. This part of the county has had an
almost entire ~inundation during the
recent heavy rain. French Broad
river was considerably out of it's banks
flooding large fields of corn and mead
ow land. Several fields where corn
was put I'D in shocks now have the
corn gathered by the water. n
river also helped some other farmers
to get their top fodder into a stack
Other families who were living near
the river rad to leave their houses to
escape the rising water. NO serious
damage is reported to have been done
except to corn crops.
These are some of the Mills River
people who attended the fair at Ashe-
Vile: r. L. Burgin, Guy Allison,
Henry Crook, Frank Cathey, Ray
mond Garland, Mark Mccall, DR.. and
Mrs. Greenwood, Zebulon Whit, Lee
Britain, Charles Corpening and John
Allen. The last named bestowed
some honor on this good farming sec
ton by taking first premium for five
best hogs.
Miss Belle Nichols has gone from
here to her home in Dallas, Texas,
where she will remain for the. winter.
Mr.. T. B. Allen, another of u best
farmers, has just driven in 1S5 head
of cattle, which he is to handle this
winter. With these his number is
now 225. We are wondering to what
extent he cal to develop the pro-
d~uctiVeneSs of his soil.
Rev. Mr.. Temple, who is manager OF
the Balfour orphanage, will speak to
the people here at the Presbyterian
church next Sunday, Oct. 81. The
children of this community has been
running a campaign during the sum-
mer to collect funds for this orphan
age. Mr.. Temple will also speak to
he children here and it is hoped that
many will be present.

sOUTHERN's NEW SIDE TRACKS.

The Southern Railway is putting in
extra passing tracks at Landrum, Sa-
luda, Tuxedo, Flat Rock, Henderson
vile, Ba1four, Naples, and Buena Wis
ia. A telegraph block Office has been
installed at Tuxedo, and another will
be opened at Naples at once. The ne
cessity for these extra tracks is occa-
stoned by the increase of business and
the contract with the government to
deliver coal for the b~attleships at
Charleston, S. C. The C. C. & o. will
also deliver some of this coal. It is
figured that over 100 ears a day will
be delivered in Charleston as soon as
the chute is ready. 1T is estimated
that 20 coal trains a day will pass Sa-
luda with about Is cars each. No
doubt the line between Ashville and

London, Oct. 20.-Fighting of the
most desperate character is in pro
gress in West Flanders and North
western France. The Belgian army,
supported by the allies, is holding
stubbornly to the line of the river
User, and thus far has halted deter
mined efforts Of the Germans to ad-
vance along the coast.
London, Oct. IL, 1850 p. m-The
British Navy has accounted for four
more German destroyers which were
engaged and sunk off the Dutch coast
this afternoon by a British cruiser and
four torpedo boat d~estroyers.
According to an announcement made
by the Secretary of the British Ad-
miralty the British vessels in the &C
ton were the light cruiser Undaunted
and the torpedoboat d~estroyers Lance,
Lennon, Legion and Loyal.
Thus the British sailors have taken
! speedy revenge for the sinking of the
British cruiser Hawke by a subma-
rine Thursday.
The sinking of the four warships to-
day makes six torpedoboat destroyers
sent to the bottom by British gunfire
since the beginning of the war and
seven, counting the ~torpedobat de-
stroyer sunk by the submarine E-9.
The score in naval operations, with
out counting converted merchantmen
such as the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
and the Cap Trafalgar, now favors the
allies which have sunk one Austrian
and six German cruisers and seven
German ~torpedoboat destroyers while
there have been unconf1rmed reports
OF the sinking of several Austrial de-
sIroyers in the Adriatic Sea.
The Germans have sunk eight Brit
fsh and one Russian cruiser, while
Australia has lost a submarine by &C
cident, The Russians also claim to
have sunk two German submarines
hut this the Germans deny. =
Up to this afternoon Berlin had not
heard officially of the sinking of the
British cruiser Hawke which indicat-
ed that the submarine which accom-
plished it has not yet returned to port.

washington, Oct. 1ns-Tmprovements Of the law from within to stem the tide of popular criticism prevalent in re- cent years was the keynote of the first days session of the American Bar as- eociation here. President Wilson in his address of welcome pleaded TOT she fumanizing of the law by the in Incorporation of moro justice into the leases and less citation. Former Presi- dent Taft emphasized in an address l to the judges of the country, gathered for the first time in the history of the country in formal meeting, the neces- sity for removing delays in litigation. Associate Justice McReynolds of the Fsupreme court at the same meeting urged the judges to give mora atten- E4ton to public opinion.
 Ar-ijcation of Common Sense At tonights session of the bar as- ESociation proper, Senator Elihu Root, in speaking of The Layman's Crttt- iscism of the Lawyer, suggested that lawyers ehould apply the rules of evt- dence with more regard to common sense, and might well avail themselves Aof expert assistance.
 The days program was concluded tonight with reception in the Pan American building. at which the chief justice of the United States and the associate justices of the supreme court were the hosts. Reports of commit bees and a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon Twill feature tonorrow's program,

.n each case, Afr Taft told the judges that uniformity in decisions was quite as important as individual justice. Turning to the improvement of the judiciary. MT. Taft suggested that de- pendence on the stenographer in the present day had led to much delay in fine disposition of cases. He urged that most cases in the trial courts should be disposed of at the end of argu- ments.
 Justice McReyno1ds. in urging the Judges to become greater affirmative forces in the enforcement of the law, said delays in courts frequently robbed cases of the fruits of the decision. As attorney general, the justice said, he started out with the idea that he would conduct the governments busi- ness as that of a private client. He soon found he was mistaken, he de- cIared and became convinced the thing to do was to give the public fair idea of what he intended to do and judi cious notion of what success was being attained as he proceeded. In some way which he did not know how, he added, the judges must give to the people an idea of what they are seeking to ac- complish and how they are succeeding.
 To Turn Tide of Opposition
 Tn some such way we may turn the tide of opposition to the Judiciary of the last ten years, he concluded, and find ourselves once more intrenched in the confidence of the people.
 The judicial section discussed the part judges might we'll take in refer ence to legislation affecting the courts, Chief Justice Winslow, of Wisconsin, and Chief Justice Pugg, of Massachu- setts, leading in the discussion.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with Hthia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates. thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent 1ithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid- neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A we1l-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- ieve- in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
