cisi0n as to whether Great Brit
ain should make war to the public

There is no doubt that British
sentiment is for war. The appeal

Not one man in a hundred in
London seemingly wants tn ma
ton to remain neutral.
Germany, through her diplo-
mats, has tried to keep Britain
out by virtual offer to refrain
from using her navy against
France as the price of Great
Britain's neutrality. But the
English people clearly are con-
WINGED that their honor and vital
interests compel them to protect
Belgium, France and other ma
tons which are their closest
neighbors.
There is a report tonight that
Holland has been invaded thru

people of Dutch kingdom, re-
solved to so to any extremity, are
said to be opening the dikes and
flooding the country, which would
make the passage of an army
impossible.

How Is Your County Fair?

Once again we urge the i'm
portance of the county fair
But why a fair?:" some one asks
Oh, well, why any effort for the
good of the country or state:
For though the fairs. both coun-
ty and state, are for the most
part organized as private associ-
ations, they GENERALLY repre-.
sent praiseworthy patriotism on
the part of the hackers. and too
often their reward is only the
privilege of going down into
their pockets to meet some de-
ticlency occasioned, in part per.
haps, by your failure to make
an exhibit or to attend. The
answer in brief as to why you
should have a fair is, for the
public good-And for giving in
dIvlduals new ideals and for
stimulating community pride.
But these fairs are social or
CARNATIONS as well, and 50 help
full in this respect that it is
questionable whether in any
other way they serve so large a
purpose. Bringing together the
representatives of every town
ship at some central place like
the county seat leads the people
to know one another, a knowl-
edge as powerful with the com
munity as the know thyself"
with the individual. They are
likewise educational. The aver.
age fair, county or state, has
something for the visitor who
goes with his eyes open and
mind alert.
Moreover, our fairs are put
ting larger stress on these edu-
catlonal features each year. The
midway is lessening, the gamb-
ling devices and those who play
there are on the decrease, and
the drinking places have gone or
are going.
This new order of things
means much for the larger fairs,
but more for the smaller ones,
which have suffered from the
false impression that special at.
fractions beyond their financial
reach were necessary to their
success. Numerous mosts sue
cessful county fairs we're held
last year with their agricultural,
educational, and livestock exhib-
its for their sole drawing cards.
If your county isn't in line
with the progressive counties
with fairs, why not you and
your neighbor get busy at once;
By a little determined effort on
the part of all classes, you may
have a fair yet-may at least
make a good start in 1914, and
do better next year-PrQgressive
Farmer.

With Germany opposed to
Russia, and both eager to light,
Austria Hungary and Servia, the
recent originatOrs of the war
cry" are now standing at bay
awaiting to see the backing"
they can each draw from the
various powers before plunging
into what now bids fair to Oe the
most deadly conflict the world

Great Britain modified her
armies Tuesday and France is
mobilizing her armies to the last
man, while martial law rules the
land.
London, Aug. 3.-All the great
European nations except Italy,
and most of the secondary pow
ers, are mobilizing with all their
energy.
Italy, which declared her neu-
trihty, will begin to mobilize Of
ticially tomorrow, although the
process probably is well under
Way.
Great Britain's mobilization is
nearly completed, but she has
not announced that she will join
in the general war.
Tonight war officially extend
ed between Austria and Ger
many on one side and Russia,
Servia and Montenegro on the
other. There had been no Off
cial declaration of war between
Germany and France on either
side, but tonight the German
ambassador in Paris received Or
ders to demand his passports.
The most important event in the
past "a hours was Germany's de-
mand upon Belgium in the form
of a l. hour ultimatum that the
German troops be permitted to

that Belgian integrity should re-

A BROAD-GAUGE
EDITOR, is MAYES

Simply as showing the difference
in disposition and business policy be-
tween broad-minded editor of the
Frank L. Mayes cast of countenance
and the narrow-mindedness of certain
other city editors in the face of news
paper competition, the News would
call attention of readers to the follow
ing editorial by Frank L. Mayes in
the Pensacola journal of the 23d inst.
anent the appointment by the court
of receiver to take charge of his
evening contemporary, the Pensacola
News, which was in financial difficult
ties. In commenting on the matter
Mr.. Mayes said:
Pensacola needs two good news
papers-one morning and one af-
lernoon. Pensacola will support
two good newspapers. The Jour
nal can think of no greater calami-
ty that could befall the business
standing and reputation of this
city than to have the story go forth
that there was not sufficient bust
ness here to make one morning and
one afternoon paper profitable.
There is sufficient business here to
do it, there always has been suffi-
cient business, and should the time
ever come when there was not
enough business for two good pa
pers, The Journal itself would lose
faith in the city. 1t is, in fact,
through no lack of business sup
port that the Pensacola News is
not today paying property, and
any theory to the contrary is a re-
Election on the business community
that is both untruthful and unde-
served.
The Journal trusts that the Pen
sacola News may be speedily reor-
gained in such a way as to put it
on paying and permanent basis.
While this reorganization is being
effected, The Journal hopes that
the business people of Pensacola
will extend the same patronage to
the afternoon paper that would be
extended under ordinary circum-
stances. The receiver, Mr.. Lii
lard, is an old newspaper man who
will put the paper on its feet if
anyone can. He commands the res
pect and confidence of the commu-
nifty and in his present work he has
The Journals good will and best
wishes for success.
