Highest In a. Years
Is Present Price of Cotton, Says w.
H. Shanks, Back From South

President VIM. H. Shanks, of the
Lincoln County National Bank, re-
turned Saturday from Columbus,
Ga, and other southern points where
he has been for several weeks look
ing over the horse and mule and cot
ton markets. He says that condi-
tions in the south are very prosper
Gus at present. Cotton is selling at
16 ga cents a pound, the highest
price it has brought growers in A
years. The crop is rather scarce this
season and this has helped the price
of course. Mr.. Shanks says that all
of the southern states will give in
creased majorities for Wilson on
November 7th, for the people fully
appreciate the fact that Wilson has
kept the country at peace and pros
porous and they can see no reason
for taking a chance on a change at
such a critical stage in the affairs of
the world and this country.

Monkey Caught In Trap
Ape Which Escaped From Circus Did
Not Eat Poison After All

The famous Sparks circus monkey
has been captured at last. DR.. Hugh
Reid thought that poison he had put
out after several raids upon the fine
poultry of his son, John o. Reid,
had got" the ape last week, but he
was mistaken. The monk showed up
safe and sound in a large tobacco
barn a few days later, so the Messrs.
Reid fixed box trap for him, baited
it well, and he was found in it Sun
day. Dick Robb and Walter Hiatt
brought him to town and exhibited
him at the Bailey Garage. Several
offers have been made for him, but
DR.. Reid is endeavoring to learn the
whereabouts Of the Sparks show to
return the monk to his owners. He
is a valuable animal and Mr.. Sparks
left word when his circus went away
that he would pay a substantial re-
ward for the capture and return of
the brute. Monkeys are said to have
advanced considerably in price on
account of the war. Animal trainers
and hunters of Africa are now said
to be hunting each other, according
to their nationality, instead of hunt
ing wild beasts for American menag-
cries.

Don't Scold Mother!
The Cross Child Is
Bilious, Feverish !
Look at Tongue! If Coated, Clean
Little Stomach, Liver,
Bowels

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
sure sign its little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with sour
waste.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore, does
not eat sleep or act naturally, has
stomach ache, Indigestion, diarrhoea,
give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours
all the foul waste, the sour bile and
fermenting food passes out of the
bowels and you have well and play
full child again. Children love this
harmless ''fruit laxative" and moth
ers can rest easy after giving it, be-
cause it never fails to make their lit
tie "insides" clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little
given today saves sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of ''Cal-
ifornia Syrup of Figs" which has di-
rections for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on
the bottle. Remember there are
counterfeits sold here, so surely look
and see that yours is made by the
California Fig Syrup Company"
Hand back with contempt any other
fig syrup. SOL

BATTLE ROYAL IN GREEN

A dispatch from Greensburg, Green
county, Monday, said:
Luther Sneed is dying, his brother,
Mont Sneed, is seriously wounded,
Will and Al Rogers, and Will Rogers
daughter, and Mrs. D. E. Hayes are
slightly wounded as a result of a
battle at the Hayes home on the Cab
bell farm, in this county, Sunday.
The Sneed boys, who live at Grady
vile, in Adair county, arrived at the
Hayes home Sunday and took pos
session of the place running Hayes
off. They brought them the daughter
of Will Rogers, whom they had fore
ed to accompany them, and held Mrs
Hayes and her daughter in the house.
Meanwhile, the Rogers brothers had
collected a crowd of about twenty
five men, heavily armed and made an
attack on the Sneeds, who had en-
trenched themselves in the Hayes
home. The Sneed boys returned the
fire and about two hundred shots
were exchanged before Luther Sneed
fell MORALLY wounded. Mont Sneed,
tho known to have been badly wound
ed, made his escape. Mrs. Hayes and
the Rogers girl were struck by stray
shots and though both Will and Al
Rogers were in the thick of the fray,
their wounds are not serious. Posses
are in search of Mont Sneed. 1t is
feared that trouble will result from
the battle, as there is great excite
ment in the vicinity.

Acids In Stomach
Sour the Food and
Cause Indigestion
"Pape's Diapepsin" Fixes Sour,
Classy, Upset Stomachs
In Five Minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have a feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache, you
can surely get relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles of all kinds must go,
and why it relieves sour, out-of-order
stomachs, or indigestion in five min
utes. 'Pape's Diapepsin" is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
ton into the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with a healthy appetite; but
what pleases you most, is that you
feel that your stomach and intes-
tines are clean and fresh, and you
will not need to resort to laXatives
of liver pills for biliousness or consti-
patton.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin'' cranks, as some people
will call them, but you will be enthu-
siastic about this splendid stomach
preparation, too, if you ever take it
for Indigestion, gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, Or any stomach
misery.
Get some now, this minute, and rid
yourself of stomach misery and indi-
gestion in five minutes. SOL

Latest War News

Apparently satisfied with the rec
ord of at least six boats sunk Sun
day, or possibly short of torpedoes,
the German submarine raids on
steamers off Nantucket were not
continued Monday. Meanwhile,
however, the operations of the Ger
man underseas craft so close to the
American shore has created a situa-
ton which President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing will dis
cuss Tuesday at Shadow Lawn. AL
ready the President has announced
that Germany twill be held to the
complete fulfllment of its promises
to the United States" concerning
submarine warfare. Details of the
sinking of the four British and two
neutral vessels which have been
brought in by persons who were
aboard some of them indicate that
no lives were lost in the hurried
transfer from the steamers to the
ships small boats. Torpedoboat de-
stroyers have not yet located the
crew of the steamer Kingstonian, but
the belief prevails that the men may
have been picked up by some east
bound merchantmen.
According to Berlin the Rumanian

Sherley's Great Speech
Wins Votes For Wilson Here Mon.
day-McChesney's Correct Date

One of the most representative
audiences that ever was gathered to
hear a political speaker in Lincoln
county was present in the courthouse
Monday afternoon and heard mas
terful defense of President Woodrow
Wilson's administration and the prin-
ciples of Democracy by Congress
man Swagar Sherley, of Louisville
Soon after the speaker began every
seat in the room was taken and many
had to stand in the aisles. Others
were unable to gain admittance.
That Sherley's great effort did a
lot of good here, was heard on all
sides. Several men who have voted
the Republican ticket before, are re-
ported to have openly stated that
they intend to vote for Wilson for
in this hour of world peril, it is no
time to remove the master hand from
the helm when he has guided the old
ship of state through so many dam
gerous Passages, and that it would
be the sheerest folly to put a green
hand in charge under present dan
gerous conditions. Congressman
Sherley had to catch the 80 train
for Louisville and consequently had
to cut his speech short, but what he
did say was to the point and a mag
nificent argument in every way. A
great many who heard Sherley pro-
nounced his speech, the finest they
had ever heard from the Democratic
viewpoint. That it was a masterpiece
there is no gainsaying.
The brilliant Louisvillian was in
troduced by Congressman Harvey
Helm, of this district, with a few
pertinent remarks, during which Mr..
Helm also called the attention of his
hearers to the grave danger of plung-
ing this country into war if the adj
ministration at Washington should
be changed at the present time. Mr..
Sherley, in opening his remarks, paid
high tribute to the good work which
Helm has done for Democracy and
his people during his term of office.

MULE COLT DAY
BIG LOT OF PEOPLE AND LIVE
STOCK IN TOWN MONDAY
Cattle Crowd Stock Pens While Hun.
dreds of Young Hybrids Sell on
Streets-Politics Warming Up

Monday was the biggest Court
Day seen in Stanford this year from
many standpoints. A recOrd-break-
ing crowd was on hand and there was
"world" of stock of all kinds. Oc-
tober court day is usually known as
Mule Colt Day, and it is aptly NAM
ed. There must have been three or
four hundred of the young hybridS
on the streets here Monday, and a
great many of them were sold. The
prices depended largely upon the
quality. The top figure of the day
was S11O, which was received by
Ben Cohen, colored farmer on the
Danville pike for a female colt out
of a splendid brood mare which
brings him a high class mule every
year. Several breeders got 500 for
extra classy colts. There was also a
healthy demand for aged mules and
these sold all the way up to 1925 a
head. So far as could be learned by
the |. j., this was the top price of
the day and was paid by Bright, In
gram & Fox, of Danville to j. c. Nc
Donald, of West Fork, Tenn, for an
extra choice mare mule, about seven
years old.
The stock pens were loaded to
their capacity, close on to 1000 head
being weighed up during the day.
Some steers of extra good feeding
quality were among the offerings, be-
ing brought down by the Tennessee
boys who are regulars on the market
in Stanford. Top prices for feeders
and Shoppers were rom S6.75 to ST
hundred, mighty few reaching the
maximum figure, however. Medium
stuff and heifers sold around a nick
ell pound. Simon We'll, of Lexing-
ton, bought a herd of PIP shoppers
during the day, from different par
ties, paying up to 1913 for them.
There was considerable talk on
politics in the crowd during the day.
Interest in the presidential race is
increasing rapidly. The courtroom
was too small to accommodate the
crowd which gathered to hear Con-
gresham Sherley, of Louisville, who
spoke on behalf of the Democratic
ticket Considerable interest was
! manifested in the secret straw vote
which was taken in the crowd on
Main street by the local correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The
result will not be known until it Is
| published in the Enquirer, as each
mans straw ballot was sealed by
| himself and all were sent unopened
TO the Enquirer at Cincinnati.
| Merchants and business men of
| Stanford report a very satisfactory
| business during the day. The hard
rain which came up during the af-
ternoon, made the farmers all feel
mighty good, and followed by very
| appreciable drop in temperature.
made a keen demand for heavier
apparel, which the merchants with
winter stocks on display, do not OBJ
ject to in the slightest.

HOW CATARRH is CONTRACTED

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less a S otngelTienecedlebr -hacohh
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam-
ton of the mucus membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, disease that
is seldom cured and that many prove
a life's burden. Many persons who
have this loathsome disease will re-
member having had frequent colds at
the time it was contracted. A little
forethought, a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously US
ed, and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable everywhere.
