All Eyes on Balkans.

London, Aug. 23.-Developments
in the Balkans take first place in
both news and editorial columns of
the newspapers this morning. The
papers display keen interest not only
in The landing of the Italian and Rus
sian troops at Saloniki, but also in
possible action by the Greek and
Roumanian government and in The
new Russian offensive which is de-
veloping in Bukowina.
According, to unofficial dispatches
the Russians are pushing ahead with
the greatest energy in Bukowina,
close to the Roumanian frontier and
already have gained "a very brilliant
success" The Daily News in an edi-
torial sums up the Balkan situation
as follows:
"The imminent general offensive
against Bulgaria is of great import-
ance. One of the first results Of a
successful! offensive by General Sar-
rail would be complete rupture of
Germany's communications with the
east and the isolation and capitula-
tion of Turkey. This is a plain
geographical fact
There are also other issues upon
which it is wiser to reflect than to
enlarge. These affect the fortunes of
the two neutrals, Greece and Rou-
mania, as we'll as the dozen belliger-
ents."
Roumania is Undecided.
Berlin, Aug. 23.-(By Wireless to
Sayville. )-Roumania has net decid-
ed whether it will enter thu war, in
the opinion of a person character
lied by the Overseas News Agency
as "a distinguished diplomatist who
is especially conversant with Rou-
manian affairs" On being asked by
the news agency as to the present
situation he said:
AT present Roumania is undecid-
ed. 1t probably will not give up its
adroit policy of neutrality unless it
believes that the really/decisive turn
in the war has been reached. Mean
while trade relations between Rou-
mania and the central powers con-
tinue to be normal and active"

ed. and nothing more has Mr.. Crisp
discussed about Mr.. Hudson than his
official acts, and we cannot understand
why Mr.. Hudson should object to this
il he has been fair to the people he
represented. On the other hand, if
that record had been what it should be,
Mr.. Hudson would have invited close
investigation of same. About the first
evidence that was brought to our at
tention, that irrelevant things were be-
ing injected in this campaign was
long before Mr.. Crisp left Washington,
when Mr.. Hudson was making per-
sonal canvass-making slight re-
marks about MIR. Crisp's honored and
beloved father who had passed away
many years ago. His effort to belittle
Mr. Crisp, stating that he had done
nothing but send garden seed" his
efforts to try to disrupt friends and
neighbors where postoffice appoint
ments had been made by Mr.. Crisp will
ing to do this in an effort to gain there
by, but the first real mud came in
this campaign when Mr.. Hudson. un-
der his signature. sent out sixteen
page pamphlet purporting to be an
address by him, but this address was
delivered through the mails, and not
from the stump, and it was fiimsy eff
fort to muddy the waters instead of
an answer or explanation of his acts
as public official, which it, evidently,
was supposed to do. Next came John
T. Royal, of Schley county, an ex-rep-
resentative and from MIR. Hudson's
home town, with about three columns
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-09-10

trying to defend Mr.. Hudsons record
as commissioner of agriculture, but in
reality a vicious attack on Mr. Crisp
striking so low beneath the belt as to
take Mr.. Crisp to task for being sick
when it was necessary to go West on
account of his health, which had be-
come impaired in the discharge Of his
duties in Washington's climate, ably
representing his people
Now, we take what was charged and
published against Mr.. Hudson at the
time when the investigation of his
conduct was fresh, and so far as we
have seen, was not denied by Mr.. Hud-
son. When the Ault investigation was
proposed all the power of Mr.. Hudson
and his friends was exerted to prevent
tie investigation.
1t is not disputed that the depart
ment had become the political machine
of rotten politicians, that men were
appointed inspectors who were not
expected to work, that many of the
inspectors made up reports and took
no samples, that Hudson made no eff
fort to protect the farmers, THAT THE
WHOLE DEPARTMENT WAS AN
EXPENSIVE SHAM OPERATED FOR
THE PLACE HUNTERS and the rule
or ruin political boss. For months and
months we waited for this report, and
not until he was put under oath and
cross examined could any Q: the scan
dal be exposed. etc.
Now, if our recollection serves us
right, Mr.. Hudson asked for this de-
lay, either because he fell sick or de-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-09-10

sired time to shape up his Office for
the investigation, or both, and this is
when the months of waiting came in.
Next appears in the Cordele Senti-
mel an article of abuse of Mr.. Crisp
wholly made up of WET CLAY" Now
if we, were to give a reason for this
we would say that the Cordele Senti-
mel belongs to. or is controlled by one
MIR. Bivins. That said Mr.. Bivins was
an applicant for the postofhce at Cor
dele and was not appointed. The rest
we leave to the intelligent voters OF
this district. He, Bivins, also takes a
shot at Mr.. Crisp because he fell ill.
Mr.. Hudson has advertised extensively
throushout the district these articles
OF Royal and Bivins and has, therefore.
put his stamp of approval thereon.
MIR. Hudson in addressing the voters
of this city also took Mr. Crisp to task
because of the sickness of Mr.. Crisp.
So we find Hudson, Royal and Bivins
criticising man because he got sick.
A sickness contracted in the discharge
OF duty. What kind of mud is that?
Mr.. Hudson at Richlaad made an at
tack on a good citizen of that town.
Only a few hours later Mr.. HUDSON
spoke at Lumpkin and his opening re-
marks were a retraction of all he had
said of this gentleman at Richland
and an apology for having said what
he did, as he had found out it wasn't
true, and he did not wish to do the gem
tleman any injustice.
The next day at Cordele. Mr.. Hud-
son, after retracting and apologizing
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-09-10

for the statements that he said he had
found out were untrue, reiterated the
same charges against the same gem
tleman, which said charges the people
OF this county knew were not true and
reputable citizens of Richland had
sworn were not true.
Gliding over the charges against his
public record, not even attempting to
answer or explain many of his corpor-
alton votes, he concluded by reading a
letter written by Judge Crisp to him
offering to support him for governor,
which has no place in the congress-
icnal race, because it was written be-
fore the Ault committee had signed
their report and before Mr.. Crisp had
occasion to run down Mr.. Hudson's
record. He gave no reason why our
people should send him to congress,
and Stewart county will be found in
the Crisp column election day by four
hundred majority, along with most Of
the other counties.
Mr.. Hudson was cordially invited by
Mr.. Crisp in gentlemanly way to meet
him on the stump face to face with the
people Mr.. Hudson declined, as he
had a right to do, but in declining he
should have kept the mud out of his
reply and suppressed the wall of de-
feat, for here was his opportunity to
refute any charge brought against him,
yet he signally refused to do So

HON. CHAS. R. CRISP'S
ELECTION ASSURED BY

Hon. Charles R. Crisp, without a

trict by a very large popular major
ity. He will certainly carry twelve OF
the fifteen counties with probability
CT carrying every county in the dis
frict. with the possible exception OF
one, and his majority in seven of the

Mr.. Hudson and his friends have
failed utterly to becloud the issues OF
the campaign by singing the swan
song" and bowling MUD SINGING"
when they, themselves, injected mud in
tbe clean waters in an effort to detract
attention from Mr.. Hudson's public
record and we submit that the public
record Of every public official belongs
to the public and should be barred to
the public by men in Office them
selves: and most certainly should nos

Mr.. Crisp has shown no disposition

ANNUAL OUTBREAK
OF MEASLES HERE
Health Authorities Have
1t Well Under Control
1t Is Believed.

The annual outbreak of measles
that seems TO be inevitable, is begin.
ming to appear il Marion county, with
the almost ideal weather of the past
week for It's spread. Both the county
and the city Boards OF Health re-
port that the spread of the epidemic
is we'll under control and that the
necessity OF even closing any OF INC
schools will not be probable. The larg-
est number of cases at present are
In Warrington, but they are all un'
der the observation of the attending
physicians and are reported to be mild
or this cyar than heretofore. Practi'
cally all OF the cases in Fairmont arc
in the districts surrounding the tlenr
ing school on Virginia avenue. There
are only about IL cases In this sec
ton that have developed so far.
TO prevent the spread OF the cpl.
tlemic in Fairmont, the school inspec'
tor, DR.. II: S. Falconcr, working un'
der the direction Of the Board oI
Health. is daily inspecting all the pu.
pills OF the Fleming school and an!
children that appear to have the first
symptoms OF the disease are sent
back to their homes. For the reason
that the contagious time OF measlea
is worst in the first stages of the III
lection, placarding and uuaranltning
the disease after the diagnosis is Of
practically no benefit in its prevention.
Tho disease is commonly known al
Red Measles and Is transmissabl6
through contact and the atmosphere,
Tho patients that receive the con-
taGion first feel sort OF cold in the
head accompanied by slight headache
and failure of the cycsight.
That is the most dangerous time tor
the transmission Of the disease to
others and persons who have these
symptoms should never Nttcnd school,
churches or theatres, as they may un'
intentionally infect n large number OF
other persons in this nUnneT. Although
measles are commonly thought 10 be
harmless and necessity for all child.
den TO undergo, this clief Is not true.
Measles In themselves are not particu'
larly virulent, but they so lower tho
resistance OF the patient that deadly
complications arc very likely TO re-
suit. Several deaths in the county
have boon reported this spring as due
10 complications Of measles and more
deaths result each year in the Uni
te: States from this malady than from
both Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria.
Thus It is essential that all parents
In tho city observe their children
very carefully until the present cold
and damp weather ceases. or the
spread OF the epidemic will be far
worse than otherwise.
