TO Sell ALL
It's Stock is the Globe Depart
ment Store, a New Con-
Germ in This City.

The Globe department store at
S27 West Main street, formerly
Lockwood's location. must sell all to
satisfy obligations incurred by the
new firm all due to backward sea-
son. Having started just three
months ago, everything contained in
this modern storeroom is brand new,
and all placed on sale at rtdiculously
low prices to make them move more
lively for ten days. A representative
of the Telegram interviewed the man
ager Mr. Nachman, who made the
following broad and candid state
+ment:
Having started about four months
ago with the finest and highest grade
of wearing apparel that can be found
in any department store. we are now
forced to sell all at greatly reduced
prices to satisfy our large obligations
to realize ready money, partly due 20
a backward season. We have. furtner
decided to sacrifice every dollar
worth of the high grade stock.
Particular attention is called TO
the double page advertisement In to-
days Telegram on pages s and q.
but to convince one of the genuine
ness OF the sale. one must see the dis
play in the show windows OF the con
Germ, where every article is marked
with bold card bearing the lowest
price ever offered for equal merchan-
disc. The store is being completely
transformed inside and all Will be
ready at o'clock Friday morning TO
handle large crowds.

LONDON, July 15-Out of the
various manifestations of unrest in
the British labor field shown since
the outbreak OF the war there deyel-
oped today what may prove, unless an
early solution IS found, one of the
most serious strikes in the history of
the country. More than 10000
men have already laid down their
tools thereby shutting down virtu-
ally all the mines in the Welch coal
fields, which supply steaming coal
for the British navy.
The British government using for
the first time the authority granted
by the so-caIIed munitions measure
ruled that the miners must not strike,
a royal proclamation habing been is
sued yesterday. The miners answer
to this proclamation was to strike.
Though subject to a heavy daily fne
for striking and though urged by
their leaders to allow their demands
for higher pay to be ar6itrated the
miners threw aside all adbice and to-
day refused to take up their picks,
thus not only stopping the mines but
leaving idle the mine railways.
Theoretically the government is
empowered to check the strike forth
with but 1t Is puzzling problem how
the fines are to be enforced. No RE

COUNTY AUDIT 0
Gives Former Sheriff Byrd and
His Office a Clean Bill of
Health.

Preliminary report of the state
audit of several present and former
Harrison county omcials is about to
be issued from the state auditors Of
fee at Charleston. Small accounts
are claimed as due from osme of them
on account of the question OF com.
missions, which question has not
been settled by the courts at the
time the commissions were taken.
These will be speedily adjusted.
The commission question had been
settled at the time Percy Byrd be
came sheriff of the county and with
a determined policy that question did
not figure in the audit of his office
for the years he was sheriff
However, 1T is worthy of mention
that the audit showed that his ac-
counts were. square and that he owes
the county nothing nor does the
county owe him. This fact speaks
volumes for his administration. Mr..
Byrds accords much credit for this
fine record to his Office deputy, Leo
P. Caulfeld, who did the bookkeep-
ing and charge of the accounts. To
say the least, such a record empha-
sizes Mr.. Caulheld's accuracy. eff
ficiency and ability.
