Worlds Greatest War

Until the last hour we had
hoped to chronicle the fact that
the European war would be
averted. All hope is now gone.
Germany and Austria Hungary
on one side, with Russia, France,
England, Servia, Belgium and
the Japanese navy if necessary
on the other. England declared
war Wednesday morning. So far
only single engagements have
been had. Only a few days will
pass before armies by the mil
lions will be in mortal combat.
Twenty millions Of soldiers are
in the field. History records. no
war of half the magnitude now
engaged. The three greatest ma
vies of the world are those of
England. Germany and France.
The fight will be under and on
the waters, on earth, and in the
air. Battleships and airships will
now be tried out.
Germany has brought on the
conflict, and will be crushed,
from the present powers on all
sides, by land and sea. How
long it will last is unknown, but
famine will bring them to peace
in a few months. Russia is the
only government which can long
feed her soldiers.
The United States is neutral,
of course, and all the embassies
have turned over their interests
to our representatives. Business
in our country is at a standstill.
They need our feedstuffs, but no
ships dare to voyage the At
lantic. In the end the United
States will be the beneficiaries
unless something like the impos-
sible would compel us to get in
the ring.

Infection and Insect Bites Dangerous

Death of Candidate Patterson

A. H. Patterson, Republican cand-
date for county court clerk, died Sat-
urday at his home at Leapwood. He
was taken down a couple of weeks
ag5 with fever, which developed into
typhoid, battling the skill of physi.
clans.
He was buried at Mars Hill Sunday.
An immense crowd attended his
funeral. Mr.. Patterson was 35 years
Of age. His wife died few years
ago, leaving two children.
In peculiar manner the sympathy
of the entire county goes to the
stricken relatives.
Mr.. Patterson was an exemplary
citizen, standing on his character for
uprightness and morality. He has
engaged in teaching, and was in bust
ness at Leapwood. His sickness pre-
vented him from entering in the can
vass, but that fact caused a sympathy
which enhanced his chances for elec-
tion. The election tickets were all
printed, upon which was his name.
This is the first instance we know of
in the county, where a candidate died
during the campaign.
