constantly in order to have 100000

quired to meet the losses from death,
wounds and sickness.

command victory, namely, to provide
all the money needed to support the
vast armies of new men and pay for
the vast quantities of arms and mum

Ever famous for its live stock de-
partments owing to the excellent adj
vertising advantages and opportuni-
ties exhibitors have and resulting
from the splendid premiums offered
as inducements, the fair association
at this fair proudly presents a
grander show than heretofore in this
respect. and truly it is said thar
thess features of the exposition grow
greater year by year and they give
bright promise of early development
into most gigantic proportions. Char
acteristically great arc both quality
and number. Finer specimens OF
horse flesh were never seen any
where. and the cattle outstrip in ex-
cellence any that have ever been
shown. in Testimony OF which fact 1t

one Fat export steer which tips the

ENGLISH MONEY
Takes Downward Plunge Max.
ing Drop Of Eleven Cents
in Two Days.

NEW. YORK. Sept English
money already deprecated to figures
without PARALLEL in the history Of a.
nance took anc.her phenomenal drop
today. The pound sterling stole down
within the first hour of dealings to
$3.50, break of IA cents over
night and drop of eleven cents with
in two days. The drop caused the
gravest anxiety as to it's possible eff
feet on American exports now at top
figures. Continued anal unchecked
depreciation, it was thought, would
affect tens of thousands of American
workmen probably by ultimately clos
ing down factories nov supplying
Great Britain with commodities. This
effect was in perspective in the minds
of some of the leading bankers of
New York. Before that could happen
1t was explained, there would have to
be cancellations or curta.llncnt Of for
eign orders to American producers, at
present totalling hundreds of millions
of dollars and great dimInution in the
value of new orders. Both the latter
contingencies were expected in the
case sterling should go much lower.

Secretary of State Talks t
Large Crowds at Various
Points.

Stuart F. Reed secretary of state,
who was a visitor here Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning, is making
rather extensive lecture tour through
the interior of the state.
The tour was started last Thurs
day. when he went overland from the
state capital to Grsntsville, by way OF
the engagement. The Calhoun county
teachers institute was in session at
Chenille, and delivered lecture that
night before huge crowd of Calhoun
county people He had been invited
to go there some time before, but that
was the first opportunity he had to fill
the time and the crowd attending the
lecture was SO large that the court
house was not large enough to hold it
and it was transferred to the largest
church of the town. This, however,
was too small for the crowd and
many could not gain abundance.
From Grantsville the secretary went
overland through Calhound county to
the Little Kanawha railroad, and
thence by the way of Parkersburg,

LONDON. Sept. 1--Germany' s
plan for driving three wedges into
the Russian defensive line is beng
carried forward but not with the
same speed as marked the sweep
over Poland. Riga is almost iso-
lated and unless the Russians soon
throw heavy forces against Won
Hindenburg's exposed flank, this
port must fall into the hands of the
invaders. Although this noteworthy
attack seems to have been checker
for the moment. the Russians have
been unable to develop counter Of

with their activities in east Gallcia.
where on the river Stripa they have
not only turned at bay but have in
ftcted large losses on their oppon-
ents.

on the western front rain of shells
from French guns has been poured
on the German trenches. The OBJ
ject Of this unusual artillery attack

believed here that so much precious
