RUSSIAN ARMIES

DETERMINED TO DRIVE BIG
ARMY THRU BULGARIA IN
A FEW DAYS
tAAsociated Press)

London, Nov. 26.-The situation in
Greece having become more certain,
Rumania's problem commands the
chief attention of Europe. Although
Rumania is beset with difficulties
somewhat similar to those of Greece,
her situation is expected to clear more
rapidly. Whatever progress Germany
might have made in Rumania is Offset
by the presence of 250,0OO Russians
near her frontier. Emperor Nicholas
is reported to have said that Russia
would have troops in Bulgaria within
a week. 1t is reported that Russian
and Rumanian representatives are
comforting in an effort to get Ruman-
las consent for these troops to pass
through that country. Rumania's
statesmen have evidenced clearly this
consent will depend upon whether the
Allies gain a preponderance of forces
in the Balkans.

Roman Catholic Hierarchy, the Dead
liest Menace to Our Civilization" and
one, Another Maria Monk Case

LIZZIE SHAW LOST HER LIFE
Slain by Her Paramour, George Ross,
Who Afterward Tried to
Commit Suicide

This morning at $50 the negroes in
the Jenkins quarters east of the A. C..
L. tracks in the first ward were awak-
ened by the quarreling of George
Ross and his paramour, Lizzie Shaw
in one of the cottages. Those in the
same house heard blows, and upon in
quiry it was found that George had
Drained Lizzie with the butt end of an
axe.
George then took to his heels and
went to the section known as the An
derson quarters, and after telling
some darkies there that he had killed
Lizzie said that he intended killing
himself. He jumped into a well,
from which he was dragged half an
hour later by the fire department.
When he was brought up it was found
that he had attempted suicide by cut
ting his throat with a pocket knife,
but upon examination at the county
jail it was found that the wound
would not prove fatal and his neck
may yet be put in condition for the
hangman's moose by the time the
courts are through with his case.

whole fair will take place. These
horses are a number of the fastest

all were too fast. The race viii COM
mence promptly at o'clock, and an
admission fee of 25 cents will be
charged, which includes grand stand

FAIR NOTES

A Star man rambled at will among
the exhibits at the fair yesterday aft
ernoon and took few notes of things
that struck his fancy.
The exhibit of the Muclan Farms
is most creditable one. The exhibit
is the first on the right hand side of
the agricultural building as you enter.
It is wonderfully ''holp out" by the
profusion of large photographs of
scenes and growing crops about the
farms.

A PUBLIC BENEFIT

Gerig's Drugstore with its telephone
and the Postal Telegraph Office in one
corner, was a public benefit. Charlie
Fox and his helpers were busy all the
time, not only selling soda water,
cigars, etc., but dispensing informa-
ton, for they knew where everything,
and almost everybody, was on the fair
grounds, and not only their friends
but strangers just naturally came to
them for advice. And Joyner made
twins of himself during rush hours,
sending messages, paid and unpaid,
for all who needed them. Everybody
at the fair will carry away kindly
remembrance of this lively little es-
tablishment and the live wires that
kept it working.

THE BIG FUN

The clean carnival attractions of the
Johnny Jones Shows have helped out
the fair, increased the crowds and en-
tertained and amused. At night, when
the gates are thrown open and the ex-
hibit buildings closed, the shows do a
fine business till late hour and the
crowds are large and good natured
and everyone enjoys himself and for
a short time turns loose the cares of
the world and just says "this is the
life" and goes to it.

The judges announced most of the
prizes today, but we received the list

LONG SWEETENING

One thing among others that Mar

and every kind of the sugar produc-
ing crop grows well here. The fair
this year shows an unusually large
exhibit of cane, in all varieties and
all of it fine. Some of the stalks were
exceptionally tall, and an acre of such
cane, growing reasonably thick, should
produce enough syrup to sweeten even

to see, almost everything exhibited
this year in the pens of the live stock
department is Marion county grown,
and nothing has been sent here and
exhibited from other counties or

BUT COTTON is ONLY A BARON

Old King Cotton is only shown this
year with few stalks on which the
bursting bolls may be seen, and a few
exhibits of lint. George Giles who
usually exhibits few bales, has been
so busy with his knitting mill that he
did not make his usual exhibit and
then we have sneaking idea that
George had put most of his bales on
the top price cotton market and did
not have as many to spare as usual.

not attempt to describe them at all,
but pass on with the simple statement
that the building would scarcely dis
play the articles and the women of
the county have excelled all previous
efforts in their fine display of fancy
work of needle and brush and culinary
department as well. Also the canning
exhibits were most creditable and de-
serve a whole column of space.

attention.
