the beginning Of the war are with
drawn.
The new order declares II TO be the
intention of Great Britain and her al
lies to exercise their belligerent rights
at sea Ia strict accordance with the
law of nations. On account of the
changed conditions Of commerce and
the diversity of practice, doubts might
arise in certain matters as TO the rules
which the Allies might regard as In
conformity with the law Of nations, and
it is ordered that the following provi-
sions be observed:
'Tirst-The hostile destination re-
CURED for the condemnation of contra
band articles shall be presumed to exist
until the contrary is shown If the goods
are consigned TO or for an enemy au-
thority or agent of an enemy state, or
to or for a person in the territory be-
longing to or occupied by the enemy,
or TO or for a person who during the
present hostilities has forwarded con-
traband goods TO an enemy authority
or agent Of an enemy state, or to or
for a person in territory belonging TO
or occupied by the enemy. or if the
goods are consigned TO order or If
the ships papers do not show who is
the real consignee of the goods.
"Second-The principle OF continu-
Gus voyage or ultimate destination shall
be applicable both in cases of contra
band and blockade.
Restrictions on Neutrals.
"Third-A neutral vessel carrying
contraband with papers indicating a
neutral destination which, notwith-
standing the destination shown on the
papers, proceeds TO an enemy port

nation if she is encountered before the
end of her next voyage.
"Fourth-A vessel carrying contra
band shall be liable to capture and
condemnation if the contraband. reck-
oned either by value. weight, volume
or freight, forms more than half the
cargo"
1t is further ordered that nothing in
the new regulations shall be deemed
to affect the Order in Council of March
II, 1915, for further restricting the
commerce of the enemy. or any procla-
nations declaring articles TO be con-
traband of war during the present hos
tilities; nor shall the new regulations
affect the validity of anything done

CANNING FACTORY
TO BEGIN OPERATIONS

All the machinery for the can
ming factory in Pikeville has ar
rived and been installed and Mr..
Hale, who has charge of the
plant here, reports that in all
probability the plant will be put
in operation next Monday.
Some of the tomato crop in the
county is reported as being ready
for canning and the plant was
put up at most opportune time.
The extreme wet weather of the
past month caused much of the
crop to rot, but there will still be
enough left for the tomato grow
ers to realize a handsome profit.
1t is expected that by the end
of next week the factory will be
a scene of great activity, as the
wagon loads of tomatoes, beans
and other vegetables will be
brought in to be put up for winter
use. .-Bledsonian, Pikeville.

E. SWAFFORD
A FREE MAN
BIedsOe County Man Acquitted
of Murder OF Dunn.
THREE WITNESSES SWEAR
He WAS FAR FROM SCENE
Accusations Made During TRIAL That
Office of Sheriff of BIedsOe is
in Need of the Application
Of Custer.

Ease Swafford, the young Bled-
soc countian, accused of the mur-
der of Deputy Sheriff Wesley
Dunn in the head of the Sequa-
chez valley in Jan. rs, 1915, was
acquitted by jury in circuit
court at Dayton Tuesday morn
ing. The jury had had the case
since Monday afternoon.
Swafford's prosecution was
conducted by Atty. Gen. B. G.
Mckenzie, of Dayton, assisted
by L. S. Pope, of Pikeviile, who
isassistant United States attorn-
ey for the district. The defense
was conducted by W. B. Miller,
of Chattanooga, and J. B. Swat
ford of Dayton. The acquittal
was secuted on proof that at the
time of the killing Swafford was
several miles from the scene of
the crime.
On Monday night about 8 o.
clock, Jan. Is, 1916, Wesley
Dunn, deputy sheriff of Bledsoe
county, was shot and instantly
killed. The shooting occurred in
a field near the Stephens Gap
public road. Dunn and other
deputies were searching for
Swafford and other young men
charged with misdemeanors
when he was killed.
In the course of the argument
counsel for the defense boldly
charged that Sheriff Dyer should
be impeached and the custer law
applied to the sheriff's office of
Bledsoe county.
