JOHNSTON RALLY.
Chamber of Commerce Plans
Monster Rally. Free Bar
becue Dinner. Good
Speeches.

Johnston, October l2 AT a
meeting of the business men of
Johnston tonight in the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce arrange
ments were made for the holding
of monster rally and community
day to take place Friday, the 22nd
of this month.
Plans were mapped out whereby
one of the most interesting and at
the same time instructive events of
its kind ever held in this part of
the state will come of on that date.
1t is proposed to lay aside one day,
at which time the farmers, business
men and others of aAe towns and the
country surrounding the live. little
city of Johnston will be invited to
come here and participate in the
gathering, at which time prominent
speakers of known reputation viii
be on hand to address the people.
The meeting will be entirely non
political in character, and will have
as it's prime motive nselligens dis
cussion of questions affecting the
farmer, the merchant tie banker
and the like. The idea is to get
the farmers to come here for day
and meet and minets with their
friends from all over this section,
and to hear some % tAe best talks
seldom afforded the people of this
section. Diversifcslalu, and its
relation to the future welfare of,
the country, the boil weevil and
other evils confronting the farmer,
cotton speculation and its effect
upon the economic value of the cot
ton crop, business Dethods upon
the farm, the relation Of the mer-
chant to the farmer. are some Of
the questions WHICH will meet with
discussion, and it is safe to predict
that the largest crowds which have
ever been to Johnston will be here
on the 22nd inst.
Speakers who have made and
hold reputation in their particular
line will be on hand to address the
people, and feature of the big day
will be free barbecne rendered the
visitors from far and near by the
business men of Johnston, who have
a we'll deserved reputation of never
doing things by halves.
The barbecue will be served at
the school grounds, while the speak
ing will take place in the .Johuston
school building, than which there
is no prettier nor more comforts
bly, appointed in the state.
At the meeting last night s. j.
Watson, was named as general
chairman, which in itself bespeaks
a most successful occasion, with
Representative j. l. Walker, P. N.
Lott and John Wright as members
of the general committee. The va
rious committees will be appointed
by this committee, with a member
of the general comlaistee as an ex-
oficio chairman of shs sub commit
tee. At the meeting tonight those
present vouchsafed their support
by rising vote, which assures one
of the biggest days ever held on the
Ridge.
A general invitation will be sent
out to all to be here on Friday the
22nd inst, to hear the splendid adj
dress, to meet and mingle with one
another and to take advantage of the
free barbecue dinner ~hich will be
provided.
Readers of this newspaper are
particularly invited to come, as the
occasion is guaranteed to be well
worth trip of miles TO atten.l.

WAR FACTIONS
RIOT IN ITALY
Crowds FaVoring HOStIIitIes
Make Demonstrations.
result OF CABINET QUITTING
The Agitation Approaches Proportions
of Revolution and Troops Take
Charge of Rome.

Agitation in favor of Italy entering
the war against Germany and Austria
has spread through the nation and in
Rome assumed almost revolutionary
character.
The unrest is the direct result oi
the action by the cabinet, when all
the ministers handed to the king their
designations.
A riotous crowd made its way to the
Piazza Montecitorio, on which is the
chamber of deputies, and forced en-
trance into the building by smashing
the windows. The entire city has been
occupied by the military.
Dispatches from Milan say serious
rioting has occurred in that city
over the political situation. Adherenta
of opposing political factions have re-
sorted to the use OF firearms and tho
situation is described as most grave
A large crowd rushed through the
city, and there have been frequent
conflicts. The police have made siren
uous efforts to maintain order, but
were not sufficiently strong and troops
had to be called out.
Dispatches from all parts Of Italy
say the receipt of the news OF the
cabinets resignation has produced an
extraordinary sensation. At Genoa
Florence, Naples, Palermo and else
where its receipt was followed by de
monstrati01s. Observers in Rome say
a great majority Of the people favor
a policy of hostility against Austria.
The cabinet met and immediately
thereafter Premier Salandra visited
the king.
King Victor Emmanuel received ii
the order named, Signor Manfredl
president OF the senate; Signor Mar
cora, president Of the chamber Of dep
uties, and Signor Giolitti, former pre-
mier, and now leader of the party IL
Italy in favor of neutrality.
The king has not yet announced
whether the designations will be &C
cepted. Members of the cabinet found
it impossible to bridge the differ
ences separating them from the fol
lowers of Signor Giolitti. They hand
ed in their designations rather than
appear before parliament when il
meets, May 20, and give to the world
an exhibition of internal division in
Italy, which probably would be &C
companied by recriminations and &C
cusationS.
The action of the cabinet leaves
King Victor Emmanuel free to choose
the men he considers best adapted to
guide Italy in the present situation
Both Signors Marcori and Manfredi
have been mentioned as possible pre-
miers.

Announcement that the Bitish bat
tleship Goliath has been torpedoed in
the DarGanelles was made in the
house Of commons in London by Win
ston Spencer Churchill, first lord ol
the admiralty.
While no definite information ap
parently has been received as to the
number OF lives lost, Mr.. Churchill
said he feared it would reach 500.
MIR. Churc1lll said:
THE Goliath was torpeGoed Wed
nesday night in a torpedo attack by
destroyers while protecting the French
flank just inside the straits.
Twenty officers and 100 men were
saved, which, fear, means that ovel
500 were lost.
The admiral commanding at the
DarIanelles also tclegraphs that the
submarine ETA, which, with so much
daring, penetrated to the Sea Of Mar
mora, has reported they sunk two
Turkish gunboats and large Turkish
transport"
Captain Thomas L. Shelford was
commander Of the Goliath.

For the Grst time in the past sly
months the authors OF the German and

GDd themselves in agreement.

marked, in the opinion Of British mil

little further advance by the French

German line, a development which
will necessitate the falling back OF the
Germans on a wide front.
To the north OF La Bassee the Brit
