A New Political Era.

James J. Roberts and "Jock Simms"
were the promoters of the meeting
Tuesday night of which it was said
by many to be the largest held here
since the days when Hon. Frank
Wheaton could get the boys to an
swer to his call' We are glad that
the Negro voters are awakening to
their political interests in the city.
Four years ago Mayor Haynes had a
majority of IS votes over Mr.. Satter-
lee. Think of this in a city of then
10000. The present County Atty. is
grateful for the Negro votes received
at last election when he won out by
about $50 votes. The Congressional
candidates of the 4, 5 and 10th Dis
tricts are dependent on our suffrage,
and we are great factor in state and
national elections, regardless of our
small population. The Twin City
Star is directly responsible for this
awakening, because of the issues of
the Mayorality campaign among the
Negroes, but later on we will get
down to higher political ideals. And
to think some Negro leaders have
been sitting idle and taking money
and honor for their supposed prom
inence and undelivered vest-pocket
votes. Now that there has been a
demonstration of the number OF
voters, it is more important that every
Negro will register and vote as man
for the candidate of his choice, and
not for a commercial consideration.

ings. We wish Mr.. Malone would
show his apparent respect in a better
way. We want no Wallets or servants
for political candidates, and they do
not like that kind of noise. Mr.. Ma
lone would do we'll to remember that
he is a Negro, and others may be
held responsible for his actions.

War Is a Certainty.


 Vienna, July 25-Diplomatic rela- tions between Austria-IIungary and Servia were formally broken off to- night. War is regarded by the public as almost a certainty.
 The Servian government waited until the last moment left it by the terms of the note and only ten min utes before the hour of 6, when the Austria-Hungarian ultimatum ex- pired, did the Servian premier appear at the legation and present his gov ernments reply to the Austrian min ister, Baron Giesel von Gieslingen.
 No details of the tenor of the reply have been revealed here but the terse statement was made that it was "un- satisfactory"
 Immediately upon receiving the note the Austrian minister informed the foreign office and diplomatic re- lations were broken off. Half an hour later the minister and his staff with their families, proceeded aboard q train for Austria territory. The train was in readiness to depart as an unfavorable reply to the Austrian demands had been expected.
 According to newspaper messages received here the mobilization of the Seryians was begun at o'clock in the afternoon. King Peter, who had hurriedly returned to Belgrade when the Austrian ultimatum was an- nounced. left the capital this evening on a special train with the principal members of the government in the realization that the Austrians would capture Belgrade without difficulty The temporary seat of the govern me1t will be established at Kraguye- vatz.
 The news of Servia's decision was made known to the public by extra edi tions of the evening papers and by & o'clock tonight half of the population Of the city seemed to be on the streets. They fought eagerly for the papers and processions were formed which marched through all the thor. oughfares, singing national hymns and cheering for Emperor Francis Joseph, Emperor William and the army. Everywhere throughout the country similar demonstrations are being held.
 Count Bertschhold, the Austrian minister foreign affairs visited lschle early in the afternoon and had long audience with the emperor. Later he conferred with the minister of war, General Krobati1, and the emperor's chief military adviser. Gen. Baron Bolfras von Ahnenberg, and the minister of finance.
 Count Von Berchthold had another audience at o'clock with the em- peror, to whom he communicated the Servian note.

GASOLINE PRICE
 AGREED AT I5 CENTS
THE PIERCE OIL CORPORATION MAKES SATISFACTORY TERMS
 TO AUTO COMMITTEE.
Agreement Carries With it the Estab. ishment of Down Town Filllnq Station, and Where Water and Air Can Be Served Free.

Messrs. Sam Williams, chairman. and E. l.. Hewlett, Harry Nj. Westcott and Tom Petit, acting as a commit tee for the Hot Springs Automobile 1 Cl@h, yesterday signed a tentative agreement with E. D. Irvine of the Pierce Oil Corporation whereby for a period of one year gasoline is to be retail to the trade in Hot Springs at l5 cents per gal
 This is not all the committee se- cured, however, in the way of conces- sions from the Pierce Oil Corporation, for that company agrees to estab- fish in the down town district a fill ing station where the autos or other trade can he supplied promptly be- tween the hours of s o'clock in the morning and II o'clock in the even ing. and where also the auto owners will be supplied with water for en- zines and air for tires free.
 Relative to the price agreement of 15 cents per gallon. which will be 6 cents per gallon cheaper than was being paid two weeks ago, the com pany enters into a guarantee to read just that rate in the event there is a further decline in the price of gaso- line furnished the patrons in other cities of the state.
 In closing the proposal Mir. Irvine of the Pierce Corporation says: We believe that the above conditions fuiy meet your desires and we will be very glad if the establishment of this service at the prices we have stipulated will result in the contilu- ance of your patronage, as well as the same pleasant relations that have existed in the past"
 Dr. Ellsworth of the auto commit tee was the only member who did not sign the agreement with the com mittee. He did not believe that the Pierce oil Corporation should be given any agreement in view of the prices charged in the past for their product. The other representatives of gasoline supply houses who had talked about more liberal proposi- lions to the trade than that made by the Pierce Corporation, left the city without submitting anything definite.
 X meeting of all automobile own CTS and users of gasoline will be held at the Business Mems League Mon day night when the proposition made to the committee will be laid before them fully. The committee earnestly requests that all those interested at- tend this meeting.
