NOMINEE OVERALL.

Hon. John w. Overall, the republi-
can nominee for governor, will receive
a cordial welcome from the people of
Maury county without regard to pollt-
ical affiliations, when he comes here
next Thursday, but he will not make
many votes. He is indeed coming into
the "enemy's country 1t is true that
within the past four years Maury
county has given a majority OF its
votes to a republican candidate for
governor and two years ago the demo-
cratic majority was less than 300, But
conditions were exceptional, quite I'M
usual, They do not exist now. This
county is democratic, very largely
democratic and upon the issues pre-
sented in this campaign will give the
normal majority to the democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Overall is an agreeable gentle
man, one worthy to be governor He
has been successful in business. He
is clean in his private walk. But he
makes no issue with Gov. Rye; he has
not assailed the governors achieve
ments and will not do So for Mr.. Over
all probably as thoroughly endorses
Rye's effort to bring about respect for
and obedience to the laws of the COM
monwealth as thoroughly as any dem
ocrat in the state.
The republican candidate for COVER
nor is chained 10 reactionary party
in the nation: one that stands for the
Old Guard. 1t is the party of Aldrich
and Cannon and the interests. J." 1t is
the party Of big business and not the
party of equal opportunity 1t has
been a party of great achievements OF
splendid service in the state, but it is
now merely party Of negation and OF
opposition. Without any program ol
constructive legislation. without sug'
costing any improvement upon the
achievements of the Wilson admins
tration, it simply comes to the Ameri-
can people as an opposition organiza-
ton for no other reason than that the
democrats have turned out of office
certain republicans and substituted
therefor deserving democrats" Mr.
Overall is hampered by his associa-
ton with this party. Unable to make
any real issue with Gov. Rye he Is
fatally handicapped by the reaction.

he is associated.

HARD KNOCKS COUNT.

The fellow who graduates from the
university of hard knocks, usually
makes good. Some times we are con-
strained to think that hard blows and
knocks are necessary to bring out the
best there is in the nature of man,
That he is like the potter's clay the
more it is beat and pounded the better
vessel it makes. So it is with life, we
go through the crucible of hard luck,
dlsappointments and the like, in this
way we are rid of the dross and other
impurities, coming out better men and
women, and far better fitted for the
duties of life from having stood the
hard knocks.
This seems to be Gods way of MAX
ing us better men and women and fit
ting us for better service.

WILSON ON ADVERTISING.

The following is a excerpt from a
recent letter to the advertising clubs
recent letter from President Wilson to
the advertising clubs of America. In
part Mr.. Wilson says:
Advertising is factor of constant
ly increasing power in modern bust
ness and it very vitality affects the
public in all its phases, particularly
since the medium for the dissemination
OF advertising have increased so re-
markedly in recent years. For ut
most Importance that the highest
standards should be applied to adver-
Using as to business itself.
'The country is to be congratulated
on the work of the Associated Adver-
Using clubs to establish and enforce a
code OF ethics based upon candid truth
that shall govern advertising methods,
and the effect of its work should be of
the greatest benefit to the country"
If you are considering placing some
advertising in the interest of your bus
mess, either to sell, buy, exchange,
reut or lease your property, and wish
70 reach the greatest number of peo-
pie who will most likely be interested
in your ad a Classified Advertisement
will help you bring about the results
you desire. The small ad does not es-
cape the notice of readers, who very
carefully read the lists of goods offer
ell. knowing that the same ad may not
appear again and that the purchase
must be made at once.

IF TIE WORST CoHEsG

gotten under way, and forty-seVen
other states in the union are furnish

orders of President Wilson.
War has not been declared, but a
feverish excitement exists. There is
trouble in the air, and President Will
son is preparing for the worst. The
mobilization of the National Guards
may avert war, or it may increase the
hazard. 1t all depends on Carranza.
A new day has been for America.
Her people have been given the OPP
portunity to display their real senti.

''watchful waiting has been good, SO

amount to naught, and if they did, they

blooded American to stand back of

will not fight because they love to fight
but because if there is no way out
but to fight, then they are in for the

Is Disinterred After Having
Been Buried For Two
Weeks.
WILL THE SCHEME WORK
One Of His Men Captured AL
legged to Have Pointed
Out the Grave.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 17.-Francisco
Villa is dead and his body disinterred
some days after his burial, is in pos
session Of the Carranza troops, ac-
cording to a series of Geographic
messages received in Juarez Sunday
by the Mexican officials.
Only one message was received in
Juarez giving details of the supposed
finding of Villas body. This mes
sage was unofficial. According to it
Villas death and burial were revealed
by former colonel of the bandit band
who had been captured and was I'M
der sentence of death and agreed to
disclose the grave for his life.
When the body was exhumed one
leg was said to have been swollen to
enormous size and to be in such a
gangrenous condition that there was
no doubt as to the cause of death.
One question which has been seri-
ously discussed among Americans
here is the possibility that a mistake
may have been made in the identity
of the body exhumed.
DIFFICULTY OF MITIGATION
1t was pointed out in the climate of
northern Mexico decomposition sets
in very rapidly and that positive iden-
LITIGATION of a body which had been
buried some days, especially in the
case of a man who had died from
blood poisoning, would be very diff
cult. The doctors who treated Villa
here, however, express confidence in
their ability to identify his remains if
they are brought to Juarez.
MEXICO CITY CONFIRMS.
Mexico City, April 17.-Villa's dead
body has been dug up out of two
weeks old grave by Carlos Carranza,
nephew of Gen. Carranza, the first
chief of the constitutionalists, and is
now being brought by him and an es-
cort of soldiers to the city Of Chihua-
hua.
This information was contained in a
telegram received by the war depart
ment late Sunday afternoon.

HENDERSON
ELECTION
Action Of Fiscal Court Will
Defeat Bond Issue at
Polls, Is Prediction.

Henderson, KY, April 14.-Elec-
ton notices were issued by Sheriff
Trigg today summoning the election
officers to hold the bond issue cleo
ton on April 20 in all the thirty-one
precincts of the city and county.
A petition has been presented to
County Judge Young requesting that
the election be called off, but Judge
Young has discovered there is no
law to recall an election, once it is
ordered. II is considered positive
that the bond issue will be defeated
by an overwhelming majority, and
citizens of the county who petitioned
the Judge to call the election now
want to save the county the expense
of the election, which will cost about
$500.
Because OF the fact that the fiscal
court refused to name commission
to handle the proceeds of the bond
issue, many voters will cast their bal
lots against the issue.

Gigantic Struggle Entering
Ninth Week of Uninter-
rupted Battle.
TRENCHES FOR THE FORTS
No Real Breach Made in the
French Lines to Date,
Says Paris.

London, April 17.--Without dimin-
ishing in intensity, the battle of Ver-
dun is entering into its ninth week.
The Germans under the Crown Prince
first launched their attack against the
French front on February 81. The
loss in killed and wounded on both
sides as nearly as can be estimated
has reached 100000. The French in
their defense have abandoned the old
fortified positions for a maze of
trenches, and against these the Ger
mans have thrown assault upon as
sault. With an enormous outlay of
men and ammunition the Germans
have so far succeeded in taking about
100 square miles of territory, but as
yet have not made any breach in or
been able to pierce the French line.
Fort Douaumont, taken early in the
offensive, and Bethincourt are the
two most important positions the leu
tons have gained. The French evac-
uated Bethincourt.
An assault against German trenches
in the region OF Douaumont resulted
successfully, according to Sunday S
Paris War Office statement. Artillery
duels prevailed along the rest Of the
front.
The British force made some gains
after the explosion of two mines
against the German trenches.
The Berlin statement contradicts
the claim of the French at Douau-
mont and says that all the French at
lacks at that point were repulsed.
The Germans heavily bombarded
French positions in the Avocourt wood
and on Hill 304.
The Turkish Government admits
that one of its submarines sank the
Russian hospital ship Portugal in the
Black Sea last month, when ll3 per-
sons were drowned. Turkey MAIN
tlins that the commander and other
officers Of the submarines were iusti-
fed in believing that the vessel was a
transport.
