HOLLANDERS ARE
INDIGNANT OVER
THE LOSS OF SHIP
Dutch Press Says That
Work of Submarine in At
lacking Neutral Vessel
Absolutely Illegal

Rotterdam, october 1O-(via Lon
don.)-The Holland-American line has
received only brief report of the
sinking of the Dutch steamer Boomers
dix and the rescue of her crew by the
American torpedo-boat destroyer Ben
ham. This report which does not give
the submarines number. says the sub
marine commander Uniformed the
Bloomersdijks captain that he would
sink any ship bound by way of an Eng
lish port
The steamship company's directors
shortly will discuss the situation with
the minister of foreign affairs, but
meanwhile will not alter the sailing
dates of the company's vessels
The value of the Bloomersdijk was
about 100000, half of which was in
sured against war risks. The grain
cargo for the Holland government,
however. was not so insured, as the
government carries its own war risks.
Amsterdam, Ovtober 1O.-(Via Lon
don. 1.-The Dutch press is highly in
dignant at the sinking of the Holland
America line steamer Bloomersdijk,
which, it is declared, was absolutely il
legal and contrary to maritime law.
''We ask with establishment says
the Nieuws Van Den Dag, what rea-
son the submarine commander could
have for torpedoing neutral vessel
with a neutral cargo for the neutral
population of Holland? There was no
possibility of a mistake, for the com
mander of the submarine must have
been aware of the character of the yes
sci and for that illegal act Germany
must be made to pay full compensa-
ton.
The Handelsblad demands that the
government send a strong protest 10
the German government.
The TELEGRAPH regards the raid rs
"a sop to the Won Tirpitzltes, ana
thinks that probably the Germans are
allowing their submarines to operate
along the fringe of American terri
torial waters to test the extent OF
American patience.

HUGHES REPLIES :
TO DR.. ELIOT IN
BALTIMORE SPEECH
Republican Candidate Also
Attacks Wilson's Policy of
Promotion of Trade With
Foreign Countries

Baltimore Nd, October 10--Charles e.
Hughes, speaking in the armory here
where woodrow Wilson first was nomi-
mated for the presidency, tonight assailed
Mr.. Wilson'S policy as President toward
the promotion of American trade abroad,
and replied to published statements OF
DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard. indorsing the Presidents
policy
'Dr. Eliot pierces the heart Of thu
matter" Mr.. Hughes said, land he finds
that the record Of the administration
means this: No Intervention by force
of arms to protect on foreign soil Ameri-
can commercial and manufacturing adj
venturers who. of their own free will,
have invested their money or risked their
livss in foreign parts under alien juris-
diction.'
Think of the Importance of that, you
who represent the best genius of the
world and are thinking of using it
abroad" Mr.. Hughes added. Think or
that, you, who it is suggested are to be
asked to finance the chief undertakings
of the world. Think of that, merchants.
statesmen, tellers, clerks and dealers, who
in serving the world take your place
in communities where revolutions are
frequent and the only respect for your
flag and the power it symbolizes may
stand between you and ruin or even
DEATH"
Mr.. Hughes read the democratic plat
form plank of 1912, declaring for the
protection of American rights abroad,
and asked if it were 'molasses TO catch
flies He declared that the protection
it promised had been deliberately and
deplorably refused.
He quoted from a recent speech of the
President outlining the administrators
ideas with respect to the development
abroad of American enterprise and as
serted that it was impossible ito square
the fine words now used with the ac-
tons of the administration.
Tonight's address was the second or
the day. The first was delivered at
Hagerstown, Md. before an audience In
the grandstand at the Interstate fair
grounds and was devoted largely to a
discussion of the tariff, the Adamson law
and what the nominee termed the ex-
travagance of the present administra-
ton.

points in West Virginia

New York, October 10.-Approximately
60 per cent of the cty's normal supply
of milk was received here today, accord
ing to reports issued by the department
of health and by John j. Dillon, state
commissioner of foods and markets, and
agent for the Dairymens league. Small

The large distributors, comprising the
big four who have refused to meet the
demands Of the league, showed no signs
of yielding. They claimed that between
90 and 10 per cent of their usual deliv-
cries had been made today. An action
brought In the supreme court by the

Parker Says His Party
Has Brought Prosperity

Cincinnati, October 10-Assuring his
audience that the present prosperity is no
commentator of democracy or it's poll

presidential candidate on the progressive
ticket today claimed that this prosper

Mr. Parker likewise brought up the
name of Charles E. Hughes when he
said:
Il supported William H. Taft in 1908
because he had made good in every Of
flee he had held and he held number
Of big ones. If a man with all of his
experience, learning and culture was not
able to ward off the old guard of the

without near as much experience as Mr.
Taft. will be able to stand off this same
old guard"

Will Test Space Basis
for Paying for Mail

Washington, October 1o.--A committee
of railway officials headed by A. p.
Thorn of the Southern railway asked the
interstate commerce commission today
to supervise closely the postoffice depart
ment's test of the space basis for rail-
way mail pay, which is to begin Novem-
Der l, under the new postal law. The
roads, which made a vigorous fight be-
fore Congress against the department s
proposal to substitute the space basis for
the weight system, ask the commission
to direct that mail handled on space cal
culations during the test be weighed alss
for the sake of comparison and that the
period of the test be limited. Under
the law the commission finally will de.
eide whether the space basis is to be
made permanent

FRENCH NAVAL MEN
DISCUSS GERMAN
U-B0AT ACTIVITIES
Possible Duration of Cam
paign in American Waters
Is Given Consideration
in Paris Newspapers

Paris, October 10.-The naval expert Of
ton of submarine operations in American
waters, says:
Three things are indispensable-sup-
plying of fuel for the motors, relief of the
crews and current repairs of machinery.
Fuel can be furnished without difficulty
1t is to be presumed that neutral ships
will supbmit to the renewed activity of
submarines, and provisioning can be ac-
complished by the Germans themselves at
a secret base, even in the sea.
The relieving of the crews however,
is not so easy. They become worn out
quickly under the conditions of subma-
mine navigation. Rest is absolutely
necessary for them
Finally, the big question is repairing
the boat ITSELF it needs station where
material is to be found. 1t cannot be
admitted that the Germans have this
station at their disposal, without GER
tain complaisance, which can and must
be suppressed for the good reputation
and impartiality of the American govern
ment.'
The time chosen for the resumption
OF submarine warfare corresponds to two
necessities-the forthcoming presidential
elections and the public session of the
Reichstag tomorrow, says the Journal
Des Debats. Severely attacked in the
sessions of the committee and by the
press, the imperial chancellor, that is.
the German government, wants to reap
pear as vanquisher. That is why the
session, first fixed for October 5, was
successfully adjourned to the 18th and
11th.''
Discussing the American elections, the
Journal Des Debats says: Berlin be-
lieves Mr.. Hughes to be more of a
pacificist than President Wilson and de-.
sires to traffic in his favor the votes of
commandments for assurance of nom

for the candidates and the audience
alike, and the meeting will be started
in time to give every one a few mo-
ments in which to present their
claims for party preference.
The socialists will have full coun-
ty ticket in the field, but it is claimed
that their voting strength has been
materially decreased in this county
in the past two years. However, that
remains for the ballots to decide.
The republicans have also candidates
for majority of the county offices,
so it will be readily seen that the
regular ones chosen by the democrats
at the coming primary will have to
keep shelling the woods until after
the November election in order to
reduce the combined vote of the other
two parties.

EVER SAL WAITED BY
CAL0MEL2 HORRIBLE
CaIomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Gallo
mel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish
.constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
,calomel, just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
,calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
days work. Dodson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you feel
great. Give it to the children be-
cause it is perfectly harmless and
doesn't grippe.

CANDIDATES
ARE WARMING
To THE RACE
AS PRIMARY DRAWS NIGH THEY
ARE GETTING MORE ACTIVE,
AND VOTERS, TOO, ARE TAKING
MORE INTEREST.

As the time for the primary cleo
ton draws near there is considerably
more interest manifested in the cam
paign. and the candidates themselves
are injecting a little more ginger
into the various races that the people
will be called upon to settle at the
polls on the first day of August. Pic
MICS are the rule all over the county
at present and the candidates take
advantage of the gatherings to tell
the people their hopes and desires,
with the result that lemonade and 9TH
er cooling beverages flow freely and
the savory barbecue lends an added
attraction to the candidates and vot-
ers alike.
Various of the wise ones have al
ready begun to make up the next
county ticket, but making prognosti-
cations previous to an election is the
easiest thing these men do, and be it
said that they sometimes guess right,
like picking winner in horse race.
On the other hand they are more
than likely to miss connections
wherever a race develops with half
dozen candidates, as is the case this
year in Carter county.
Four men will enter the primary
this year without opposition. They
are Shelton Tyer for county clerk
Thomas w. Champion for county
Judge. R. S. Hendon for tax assessor,
and C. w. Clay for County surveyor,
Judge Champion will be the first
county Judge of Carter county since
statehood to succeed himself. All the
other county judges made the race
but were always beaten for the place
The big event just before the pri-
mary election will be the rally to be
held at the court house on the night
of the 25th, when all the candidates
will be present to tell the people OF
