40 OTHER SHARP ATTACKS.
(By Thomas B. Cromwell.)

Lexington. KY. oct. 6.-Kentucky
Democrats began a great offensive
and enveloping movement Monday
when Gen. Augustus Owsley Stanley
opened up on the eastern front at
Prestonsburg, and some 40 Of his
aids made oratorical stands in the
counties having cities wherein regis
stration of voters is required. Gen.
Edwin P. Morrow claims to have
strongly fortified and intrenched the
Republican forces on the eastern
front during his three weeks cam
paigning in the hills and mountains,
but Gen. Samuel Wilbur Hager hes
passed the word that Gen. James d.
Black has found the g. o. p. army
shy on munitions and rations and not
so well dug-in as reported from the
Republican headquarters by Gen.
Morris Calvin. He is sanguine that
Gen. Stanley's heavy fire will have a
whitening effect, and that there will
be very little left for the third army
composed of Moosemen, who entered
the campaign under the leadership
of Gems. Fred Drexler and Matt ].
Holt, with former Congressman Vic
tor Murdoch, of Kansas, as their
range.fnder, at Covington Wednes-
day night. Gen. Stanley's positions
for the remainder of the week will
be Hazard, Thursday; Bonneville.
Friday, and Compton, Saturday.
The Democratic forces in Louis
vile were modified at the Masonic
theater Tuesday night and instructed
in strategics by Gems. A. o. Stanley,
Edward ]. McDermott, Robert W.
Bingham and Ben S. Washer. They
marched away with the scent of VIC
tory in their nostrils and are occupy
ing the strong positions in and about
the Falls City. To the same point
Thursday night the Progressive lead
ers brought their small army Of
braves, and they departed, deter
mined to battle for the principles
enuncialed in their platform of
1916" though their cha ces for win
ming state offices are little. This
brought smiles to the lips of the
Democrats and frowns to the brows
of the republicans who assembled
saturday in the Masonic theater to
get their strategic instru ton from
Gen. Morrow and Gems. Lewis L.
Walker and Ben L. Bruner.
Gen. w. j. Gooch, who isin charge
of the artillery division of the DEM
ocratic forces, says he has 10 to one
more guns than the Republicans and
100 to one more than the Progress
sives, and that when he gets them
all in action the enemy will be so
completely routed that long before
the decisive battle on November 2
the way to Frankfort for the column
headed by Gen. Stanley will have
been swept entirely free of obstruc-
ton. The Democrats. from the
highest to the lowest. are feeling
their strength. and they are declaring
that their majority is only question
of numbers. according to the manner
in which the vote comes out. their
only fear being that absence from
the polls may resu from confidence
in success and the notion that their
votes are not needed. The Demo-
cratic slogan, therefore, is, go to the
polls and vote and make the majority
the largest ever.

BIG CIRCUS COMING THIS WAY.


The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will exhibit at Spar
tanburg on Monday, Oct. 25, and this
good news is being heralded every
where by the many agents of this,
the biggest and foremost amusemen,
institution in the world. The Barnum
and Bailey Circus has always been
the largest that travels and this sea-
son the management has found it nee
essary to add many more cars to their
trains in order to provide for the
great equipment 1t requires 85 dou
bic length railroad cars to transport

ployed, there are 700 horses, 40 ele,

48O world famed artists take part in
the greatest circus program this world

advised to get an early start in or

Pacolet, Route 2, Oct. 1.-THE past
few days have been very cold and we
nave mad light frost. This reminds
us that winter is near at hand.
The farmers are busy picking cot
ton and some are making molasses.
There seems to be a bountiful sor-
ghum crop this year This will cut
down one item of expense for the
farmers. Mr.. billiard has purchased
a new cane mill and he has made
something over eleven hundred gallons
OF molasses without going more than
one and one-half miles from his home.
This speaks well for the community.
1t shows that the farmers have begun
to realize that they must live az home

JONESVHLE

Jonesville, Oct. 12.-While the
great war is going on over the water
there is continual warfare going
on in this country between the bulls
and the bears over the price of cot
ton. l can't exactly understand why
the bears, as they are called, are al
| ways hammering and pecking on the
price of cotton t. beat.it down. 1t
seems they would run it down to
three cents if they could.
Mr.. E. R. Aycock is preparing to
build nice dwelling house on his
plantation about three miles east of
Jonesville.
We have had two white frosts and
the air is cool and bracing from the
north. There is but little of the vege-
tation that is nipped as yet by the
frost.
Cotton is opening very fast and the
farmers are quite busy.
Mr.. Angus Littlejohn has decided
to enter the ministry and has gon.
to the Presbyterian seminary in Co.
lumbia to prepare himself for the i'm
portant work of the ministry. Young
Mr.. Littlejohn's grandfather, Mr.. J.
Starks Bailey, was a Presbyterian.
minister and who was a fine preacher
it seems that Mr.. Littlejohn is in
heriting some of his grandfather's
chosen calling. He is the first young
man from Jonesville ever to enter the
ministry. hope he will succeed.
MCGOWAN Littlejohn, United
States soldier, who has been in the
Philippines and other places for the
past three years, is now at home on
furlough. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Littlejohn and they are to

rents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. McWhir-
ter.
The entertainment at the Bishop
school house Saturday evening at the
preliminary opening of the school
there for the fall session was a sue
cessful occasion. Several speeches
were made by the patrons and others.
The music was fine and the supper was
good and bountiful. Mrs. James Whit
lock will teach the school,
notice that Gov. Manning and one
attorney, Mr.. Robinson, of Columbia,
advises against the State warehous,
company consolidating with the At

good advice, as l see it. The farmers
had better be sligh of politicians and
all organizations that are so anxious.

they touch the farmer they are like
the pickpockets. The farmers is
touched sure enough. l have already
advised and l still advise the farmers
to handle and manage their own cot

The Difference in the Two Notes.

1t is not at all surprising that this govern
mcnts note to Germany, demanding that Ameri,
can lives and shipping be not impcriled by that
.country's operations, should be more en-
phatic and peremptOry in its terms than the mes
sage to Great Britain. In the case of Germany
the United States acted in response to an alarm,
ing official announcement by the admiralty con-
hrmed by the Imperial government, that from and
after February 49, neutral ships cruising in a dcs-
ignatcd would be in danger of destruction
With the dircctness and emphasis demanded in
such crisis this government warned Germany
that its rights neutral must not be invaded
that American lives and American ships must not
be destroyed under any circumstances
In the of Great Britain, on the other hand
the United States was at the disadvantage of not
having, at the time its note was forwarded estab-
lshcd basis for actual protest Under such
circumstances, the language OF its note, though it
will no doubt be received by His Majcstys govern
mcnt in the spirit in which it sent, will cause
irritation in some circles in England quite equal
to that aroused in Germany. Rcfraining from dis
putting the right of British ships to fly a neutral
flag this government also in the position Of
not even being able to cite positively any action
by the British government directing sanctioning
such practice. The frank admission was made
that the information upon which the United States
acted was based largely upon the assertion of the
German admiralty and press dispatches. This gov
crnmcnts communication, built upon a no more
solid foundation therefore took the only practi-
cable form, that of notification that the practice
Of British vessels flying the United States flag
would increase the peril OF American lives and
ships from German attack, and suggesting that in
case of disaster Great Britain could hardly escape
share OF responsibility. Under the circum-
stances it is difficult to sec how this government
could have used more vigorous OF emphatic
anguagc in its rcmon>trancc. There was how
ever, saving touch OF humor in the communca-
on-thc reference to the Lusitania incident, in
diving resort to the very practice complained Of
when American lives were believed to be in peril.
