Mr.. Links Father Dead.

Mr.. Clarence S. Link, of this
city, Tuseday afternoon received
by telegram the distressing news
of the death at Hickory, N. c.,
of his father, Mr.. A. G. Link.
Mr.. Link left at once for Char
lotte, in order to catch the
afternoon train for Hickory.
From the Charlotte Observer
of yesterday it was learned that
Mr.. Links death was very sud
den and probably was due to
heart failure. He had always
enjoyed good health, but had
been slightly indisposed for
several days. His illness was
not considered serious, however,
and his death was a great shock
to his home city and section.
He was 66 years of age. He
had been a resident of Hickory
ever since the town was started.
His father was the first post
master of Hickory and he served
as assistant under him. He was
always active in religious and
educational work, in the latter
capacity having served six years
as member of the county board
Of education. He was appointed
postmaster at Hickory on Aug
ust IL, 1913.
The deceased married Miss
Mary Eta G. Ramseur, a daugh-
ter of the late William Ramseur,
April 16, 1870 and she with three
sons and four daughters survive.
The funeral was held yesterday
at Hickory.

Mills Go on Half Time.

The two cotton mills of the
Highland Park company at
Charlotte Monday of this week
began operating half time. This
curtailment of operations is not
due to a lack of orders but to
the scarcity of dyestuffs, the
output being largely colored
goods. The company has enough
dyestuffs for about six weeks
run but no more is in sight and
instead of running full time for
a month and half, the manage
ment deemed it preferable to orun
three days in the week to keep
the operatives together for three
months, hoping by that time to
effect some arrangement where
by more dyestuffs will be avail
able.

Second Warrant for Nolan.

Should Thomas Nolan, the
alleged safe-cracker, be acquit-
ted of the charge of cracking
the safe of the Bank of Fort
Mill more than twelve years ago,
when his case comes up for trial
at the spring term of the court
of common pleas, April IL, he
will be re-arrested on a second
warrant sworn out by Postoffice
Inspector Gregory charging him
with a robbery at Easley, in
Pickens county. This second
warrant was placed in the hands
of Sheriff Brown soon after the
commitment of Nolan to the
county Jail, and it has been
stated on pretty good authority
that the evidence sustaining the
second charge is rather himsey.
Nolan appears confident over
the prospects for his acquittal
on the Fort Mill robbery charge,
and stated to an Enquirer re-
porter recently that he was
confident of his acquittal pro-
vided the prosecution followed
the evidence in the case. He
said he had retained no counsel
and was not financially able to
do so. -Yorkville Enquirer.

ANOTHER BIG VICTORY
FOR RUSSIAN FIGHTERS

Mondays press dispatches said
that the Russian army, which
took the Austrian fortress of
Przemysl. had achieved another
great victory. Starting westward
from the Galician stronghold i'm
mediately after it's fall, the Mus
covites have now entered the
Beskid mountains range which
connects the Little Carpathians
with the eastern Carpathians
and forms part of the boundary
between Galicia and Hungary
and driven out the Austrians,
who had stubbornly held the
passes and heights. Brief in
deed was Vienna's account that
this vantage point, the gateway
to the plains of northern Hun
gary, has been evacuated. 1t
stated merely that the Austrians
were compelled to make the
move because Of the presence of
Russian reinforcements sent to
the front from Przemysl.
To the eastward in the Carpa-
thlans sanguinary fighting is
taking place. Both the Austri-
ans and Russians claim victories
at various points and the capture
of men and guns. In the region
of Virawa. Austria asserts that
1920 prisoners were taken.
In northern Poland a cavalry
charge in the Suwalki district
resulted in a defeat for the Ger
mans, who were driven away
with heavy losses in men killed
or captured, according to Petro-
grad. Berlin says Russian at
tacks near Augustowo were re-
pulsed.
Semi-official reports reaching
Petrograd said that the Turkish
arnored cruiser Medjidieh had
been sunk by a mine in the Black
sea off the Russian coast.

BIG KANSAS COWBOY
NOW WORLDS CHAMPION

Jack Johnson, exile from his
own country, Monday, at Ha-
vana, Cuba, lost his claim to
fistic fame as the heavyweight
champion of the world. The
title was wrested from him by
Jess Willard, the Kansas cow
boy, the biggest man who ever
entered the prize ring and a
white hope" who at last has
made good.
Johnson, his wife and a little
group of friends will sail for
Martinique, there to await pas
sage back to France, where
johnson proposes to settle down
and lead the life of farmer.
There is no doubt that he is
through with the ring.
Willard is returning to the
United States to win the fortune
which was denied him Monday
when Johnson got $4,000 be-
fore the. fight started, Willard
taking only a small share of the
gate receipts. Just what was
his share was not known.
Mondays fight probably has
no parallel in the history of
ring battles. For 20 round John
son punched and pounded Willard
at will, but his blows grew
perceptibly less powerful as the
fight progressed until at last he
seemed unable or unwilling to
go on.
Johnson stopped leading and
for three or four rounds the
battle between the two huge
men was little more than a
series of plastic poses of white
and black gladiators.
So it was until the twenty
fifth round, when Willard got
one of his widely swinging, wind
mill, right-hand smashes to
Johnson's heart. This was the
beginning of the end.
When the round closed John
son sent word to his wife that
he was all in and told her to
start for home. She was on the
way out and was passing the
ring in the twenty-sixth round
when a stinging left to the
body and a cyclonic right to the
jaw caused Johnson to crumple
on the floor of the ring, where
he lay, partly outside the ropes
until the referee counted 10 and
held up Wizards hand in token
of his newly-won laurels.

STATE NEWS ARRANGED
FOR QUICK READING.

Two cents, instead or nVe, is
now the rate on letters between
the United States and the British
colonies of Barbados and the
Leeward islands in the West In
dies.
In an opinion rendered a few
days ago by the attorney general
alcohol for use in the arts, or for
chemical or scientific purposes is
exempted from the provisions of
the gallon-a-month law.
Violations of the child labor
law in IL cases have been report
ed to Commissioner Watson by
the factory inspectors. The cases
were reported from Greenville,
Laurens and Pelzer.
Next Monday is the opening
day of the South Atlantic base
ball leagues 1915 season. The
opening games will be played
with Augusta at Columbia. Co.
lumbus at Albany, Charleston at
Savannah, and Macon at Jack
sonville.
There was a wholesale raid on
the Charleston blind tigers sew
eral days ago, a number being
put out of business and others
removing their fixtures and shut
ting up shop. The raid was sup
posed to have been the outgrowth
of Gov. Manning's recent talk
with Mayor Grace.
Governor Manning has re-
prieved the sentence of Green
wood Rogers, who was convicted
of arson during the fall (1914)
term of the court of general
sessions for Laurens county be-
fere Judge j. S. Sease and
sentenced to be electrocuted on
October %, 1914.
The best informed cotton mill
men of Spartanburg are of the
opinion that there is in that
county 10000 bales of cotton
that have not been offered, a
third of the county's crop.
Many are still holding for 10
cents. Practically none of the
cotton purchased last fall for
10 cents has been sold.
John 7. Roddey, of Rock Hill,
is leading a movement to organ
ize in that city a company to en-
gage in the handling of all kinds
of country produce and farm pro-
ducts. He has succeeded in Sc
curing the interest of a number
of business men, and it seems
probable that the company will
be organized.

TAKE TEACHERS TO
THE COUNTRY CLUB
Citizens of Paragould Will Enter
tain Petagogues For Two Hours
Tomorrow Afternoon.
(From Thursdays Daily Press)

(From Thursdays Daily Press)
At the suggestion of Thomas j.
Bentley, farm denonstrator for the
county, who is attending the an
nual teachers institute now being
held at the High School, a number
of public spirited citizens this
morning made arrangements to
give the teachers a drive through
the country club grounds tomor-
row afternoon, beginning at two
O'Clock. At the club grounds ice
cream will be served to the teach
ers.
There are approximately one
hundred and fifty instructors here
attending the institute and it is
planned to give them a touch of
Paragould hospitality as a fitting
climax to their weeks stay in the
city. Eli Meiser has agreed to ar
range for the automobiles and he
requests that every auto-owner in
the city who desires to assist in
this entertainment leave word at
the National Bank of Commerce
before ten o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. The automobiles are expect
ed to be at the high school grounds
promptly at two o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. 1t will probably be
necessary to have as many as thir-
ty machines to comfortably trans
port the teachers to and from the
club grounds.

DEBT IS WORRYING
MISSISSIPPI COUNTY
Threat of Mandamus Proceedings
Causes Talk Among Officials
and Taxpayers.

Osceola, June 10.-On account of
against the Monroe county asses
sor in the federal court, the land
owners met here to devise some
means to prevent Mississippi coun-
ty from meeting the same fate. The
case grew out of the building of
the court house at Osceola by the
Falls City Construction Company.
To this date the company has not
received payment and has filed a
mandamus proceeding in the fed
eral court at Jonesboro to require
the assessor to assess all property,
both real and personal, on the ba-
sis of 100 per cent which property
heretofore has been assessed on
a basis of so per cent. A large
percentage of the property in this
county is owned by a small per
cent of the population.
At the time the court house was
| DuIlL tue COUNTY was heavily III
debt, and since the issuance of the
scrip for the court house scrip has
deprecated from 90 to 35 per
cent. If this scrip can be taken
up or bought by the land owners
it will relieve this tension and put
the county on cash basis.
Men and interests representing
about 100000 worth of real es-
tate, were present.
The following resolution was
passed.
THAT a committee of three rep
resentative taxpayers of Mississip-
pi county be appointed to devise
general plan by which the coun-
ty can be relieved of its present in
debtedness and it's warrants be
placed on a cash basis"
Judge William M. Taylor was
elected chairman and r. T. Lips
comb secretary, and following is
the committee: A. c. Lange OF
Blytheville, E. E. Driver of Os-
ceola, and r. E. Lee Dilson of Will
son. This committee will report
at near date.
