NOT been REACHED

London, Aug. 1.-THE crisis has
not been reached in the present stage
of the eastern campaign. The Rus
slams are not able to assure the safe
ty of their armies until the menace
presented by Hindenburg in Cour-

Bausk district the German army has
been driven back toward the river.
Kovnos is still stemming the Ger

however, is north of the Nismen. and
between the Narew and the Bug the

that the attacks have been repulsed.
There is heavy fighting along the
middle Bug and the Teutons have

SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR
FLORIDA AT WARS END

Jacksonville, Aug. 17-Florida
laval stores and lumber will ulti-
mately be the means of bringing vast
wealth into the state, according to
W. d. Manley, president of the
Eankers' Financing Company, who
was here from Atlanta yesterday to
attend the concerns organization
meeting. In addition to sounding
this optimistic note, Mr.. Manley de-
clared that the end of the European
war will bring vast horde Of i'm.
migrants to America who will make
greater business development posi-
BILE.
'The war is bound to end within
the next few years, at greatest, and
with it's close will come the work
OF rebuilding the ruins, as well as
high taxation for the people Of those
countries affected" he said. Right
there is where the United States is
going to score and begin to prosper
by leaps and bounds. In fact, the
opportunities are going to be so
great for money making that the
American investor and business man
will have to be very conservative to
avoid going in too deeply.
Lumber and Naval Stores
"In the work of reconstructing
the devastated cities of Europe.
which the war has laid waste.
American and Florida lumber and
naval stores will be needed and you
will find that your export trade is
going to exceed anything ever con-
templated. Owing to your states
convenient location and your admir-
able seaports it will be possible for
Florida to engage in shipment of
these necessities to the foreign mar
ket with greater profit and facility
than any other state on the Atlantic
seaboard. The depression. while the
war is on, will be insignificant com.
pared to the activities after the
fighting is over.
There is no doubt but that our
immieration will also go up by
leaps and bounds just as SOON as the
warning European countries begin to
levy taxes per head to pay off the
enormous debt that is now aceumu-
lating Tt has been roughly esti-
mated that each and every person
will have TO pay the government s72
for these taxes when peace is de-
clared. This will not only hit the
man who is able to stand 1t, but the
poor washerwonian as well. so you
can readily see that they will natur-
ally turn to America as a place
where they can build up new homes

SHOOTING CAUSED
BY QUARREL over
POSSESSION Of HOUSE
A FEW WORDS WERE PASSED
AND BULLETS BEGAN TO FLY;
NONE ARE THOUGHT TO BE
FATALLY INJURED

Bradley Junction, Aug. II As
the result of general gun fight here
at $50 this morning,
BARNEY FEWOX Is dead,
And the following persons are
more or less seriously injured:
F. j. Johnson. marshal Of he
town, shot in the knee.
II. E. Padgett, shot in the head
- Fewox, brother Of the dead
man, shot in the stomach
Little daughter OF Mrs. Roberts
shot in the arm.
The trouble originated, it appears,
from dispute over the possession of
a house occupied by A. J. Hester,
and which Mrs. Roberts, a lister of
Barney Fewox. attempted to occupr
Hester, 1t seems, refused to vacate
the property to which Mrs. Roberts
set up some kind of claim; and she
and her two brothers. with other
members of the family, made an at
tempt to forcibly eject Hester from
the premises. In the ensuing trou-
BILE, a fusillade of shots was fired,
Barney Fewox being mortally
wounded by shot fired by Hester.
A brother of Fewox was also shot
in the stomach. Marshal F. ]. John
son received a shot In the knee; H.
r. Padgett, whose connection with
the trouble does not appear, received
scalp wound, and Mrs Robertst'
baby girl was struck on the arm by
stray bullet. It is not thought that
any Of the wounded persons are
likely to suffer serious results from
the injuries.
Hester. Mrs. Roberts and tho
wounded Fewox were arrested and
are now in custody at Barlow. 1t
Is not known when the examining
trial will be held. this depending on
how long 1t will require for the
wounded to recover sufficiently to
appear in court. Hester will likely
put UP a plea of self defense, as ap-
tJarently he was attacked by the
Fewox clan at his home. Mrs Fewox
had recently been In court on a
change of illegally selling liquor, and
had been ordered to leave the coun-
p; ty, but had later received permission
to return to Bradley Junction
