DENIAL IS MADE
 AUTO TO BLAME
 FOR ACClDENI

Harry Smith. Of the Perseverance Auto Stage Line, who was driving the automobile just ahead of the automo- bile which it wae stated forced two horses owned by A H. Humpheries over the 4O0.foot bank at Cape Horn, Monday, causing thelr death, says that the horses were driven into Berry's automobile and that the latter was not stalled and did not back into the team. He says there were six horses hitched to the Humpheries sleigh, and contends that the accident was due to the fact that is too many horses for a driver to attempt to handle on the Perseverance road after dark.
 MT. Smiths statement follows:
 "I note that Mir. Humpheries and eye witnesses claim that Berry's au. to forced Mir. Humpheries' lead team over the bank ct Cape Horn on the Perseverance road. ] firmly deny that statement. as l positively know that there was only one man besides the teamster out of the sleigh when the first horse went over tine bank, as Mir. Berry ran ahead and called for help. l and my man ran back imme- diately to try and render aid. Vixen we reached the team tho tcamster was cutting the harness to free the ami mals from the rest, and the other man had hold of the other horse, try. ing to keep 1t on .he road. do not think Berry backed up with his auto, for he was not stalled aE was stGted He was waiting for me to set around the Horn. and out of his way He had been standing In the same place for five minutes before Humpheries team drove up.
 'I claim that the acldeni was due to the fact that six horses on road like the Perseverance road after dark-ospecially when some of them were colts like those in tho lead were with a low seat like that on the sleigh without a headlight to permit the teamster to soc the road are too many for man to handle. cannot see how the driver could be to blame. for it is impossible for one mon to guide six horses on Q road like that after dark. Great credit is due the driver for cutting Che harnesses of the horses that went over the bank and thus saved the other horses and the passengers from immediate de- struction.n

BOND SALE STILL PENDING.
Seems Probable That the Final Closing
Of the Deal Will Take Place Soon

Owing TO there being some differ
ences of opinion relative to the final
details of selling the county road
bonds, the sale was not closed last
week as was expected. Most of the
obstacles in the way OF the deal have
been removed and it is expected that
the contract will be signed within a
few days.
General j. r. Mitchell and Cashier
j. S. Reed have been lending all the
assistance possible and the under stands
ing on the deal has advanced so far
that 1T now seems very reasonable to
expect that 500, 600 of the bonds will
be placed at par within the next few
days, The deal is being made through
7. R. Preston, president OF the Hamll-
ton National bank, Chattanooga. Tel
egrams have been passing to and tro
for the past few days and gradually
the conditions have become more clari-
fed and if the deal is closed within the
next day or two no one need be sur
prised.

WAR SITUATION.

| The German and Austrian drive
Fagainst the Russians continues with nc
preceptible slackenng. Many of the
strongest forts held by the Russians
have been taken by the Teutonc forces
along with many prisoners and guns
and vast quantities of war munitions.
The Russians claim the victories have
cost the Germany many men.
The Balkan powers have made no
decision as yet on which side they will
align themselves but are expected to
take some definite stand soon. The
allies are making every possible effort
to induce the Balkan states to join
them and the Germans are trying equal
ly hard to induce them to at least re-
main neutral. The Balkan situation
has SO many complications that it is
hard to even predict the outcome with
any certainty. The Teutons are mas
sing troops on the Bulgarian border,
which IS taken to indicate that in the
event Bulgaria joins with the allies the
central powers will make strong
effort to smash their way through to
Turkey and keep open line for sup
plying them with war munitions from
Germany and Austria.
Fierce fighting has been going on at
the Dardanelles the past few days, but
so far as known nothing Of Importance
has been accomplished. The Turks
report all attacks repulsed with heavy
losses to the allies.
On the western front in France and
for the full length of the line from the
north sea to the Argonne mountains
there has been heavy artillery fire for
some days, but nothing of marked i'm
portance is reported by either side.
No victories are claimed by the
Italians and it IS thought the war in
that sectionhas shown no results for

SALVATION ARMY.
A Sergeant Of that Splendid 0rganiza.
ton Here Soliciting Aid for the
Work.

People who have visited the cities
have often seen fsw uniformed men
and women on the street corners sing
ing, making music on the drum tam
BOURNE and other instruments and hold
ing religious services urging those who
are not church members to turn from
! the world and seek God.
Every person is ready to commend
such work, but many persons think
that is all the Savlation Army really
does that is useful. Those who think
that are very much mistaken.
1t is the business of the Salvation
Army to go into the slums and the
walks of life of the fallen people and
feed the hungry, clothe the naked and
rescue young men and women from a
life of vice.
They also include instruction IN ply
sical training and advice on sanitation
and clean living to the end that the
body may be kept strong and we'll.
This peace army does a wonderful
work, which is not done by the church
or any other organization to any great
extent.
None of US know how soon our boy
or girl may need help along these
lines.
No money ever given for the cause
of charity was contributed to a nobler
cause than that given to the Salvation
Army.
Every city Of any Importance in the
country has Salvation Army head

directed TO those who are IN most in

occurred between Great Britain and

Plattsburg Bay, and in land action
in the vicinity General McComb re-
pulsed superior British force.
But last month Plattsburg received
more attention from the country at
large than ever before IN its history.
This was owing to the fact that there
was conducted here a military school
more unique than any ever held on
American soil,- anywhere else for
that matter.
Nearly twelve hundred men, enough
to form eight full companies at war
strength, gathered here on August 10

instruction. This alone did not make
the encampment significant. 1t was
