THE fighting aeroplane, or to give
it its official title, the battleplane, is
machine of an entirely different type
from those used for reconnaissance
and gun spotting' work. Its main
duty is to convoy the bomb-droppers
on raiding expeditions and to beat off
any attacks that may be made upon
them.
1T is essential that it shall be able
to climb rapidly and that it has a
powerful engine, in order that II it be
outnumbered it can get away by means
Of superior speed"
"The preferable types of machine
for this class of work are those of
the 'pusher' propeller behlnd) and
double engine variety.

NOT BAD IN
THIS COUNTY
COUNTY AGENT STATES THAT
HE HAS FOUND BUT FEW
PLACES INFECTED IN CARTER
coUNTY-THESEN NOT BAD.

That the boil weevil is not doing
any material damage in Carter
county is the assertion of county
farm demonstration agent Carl Rus
sell who has made close personal
inspection of the most of the county
within the past few days. He states
that he has found a few places that
were infected, but the weather if it
continues dry will be most favorable
to the cotton plants and large crop
will be harvested this fall,
There has been a report from the
county that some of the fields were
badly infected there, and Mr.. Russell
will inspect this section this week.
w. H. H. Keltner who resides in
the vicinity stated yesterday that
some of the fields were badly damag
ed but this is about the only section
where the infection has been any
thing like serious. Reports from
over this section proclaim big corn
crop, one farmer stated that rain was
needed in some localities but as a
rule corn was not hurting yet.

]. {. MULLEN
WILL SERVE
FULL TIME
CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATE
WILL DEVOTE HIS FULL TIME
TO THE INTERESTS OF THE
PEOPLE.

Perhaps one of the best known men
of the state and of the southwest Is
now candidate for the state senate
from this senatorial district and is
making a most vigorous campaign
now that he is in the race,
Reference is made to the candidacy
of Mr.. j. S. Mullen, who decided that
there was work for him to do in the
lawmaking body of the state and after
persistent persuasion upon the part
of his friends, consented to make
the race for the state senate.
Mr.. Mullen, matured in years and
business experience, is one OF the
substantial business men of the state
and for that reason is vitally inter-
ested in laws affecting the state at
large. His friends believe that he
is ably equipped to render such re-
| lief as is necessary at this time and
to give the people of this district and
state valuable service,
Mr.. Mullen, like many others in the
state. believes that there should be
fewer laws and better laws, the stat
ute books at the present time are en-
numbered with lot OF useless laws
and freak passages that they are look
/ ed upon as a joke by many OF the
older states. These conditions he
would remedy, pass such laws as are
actually necessary and which would
be enforced and leave all freak meas
ures out of the statute books. He is
especially in favor of low taxes.
Mr.. Mullen is a man of recognized
ability and if he is chosen to the
office to which he aspires will render
the people efficient service. Mr.. Null
len is making most vigorous CAM
paign and every voter and citizen
in the district will have an oppor-
tunity if possible OF knowing him
personally before the date set for the
primary election, August first.
He assures the people, if elected,
that he is so adjusting his business
so as to give the constitutional 60
days every two years to the duties of
the office.

CUE MEN.
NOW IN CHARLESTON
Some Of Them We're Landed in
Charleston Navy Yard While Others
Are Aboard Rescue Ships in Charles

Charleston, S. c., July 15.-All of
the 142 men who abandoned the col
lier Hector, when she grounded last
night, are safe aboard the tug VIII
mington and the light house tender
Cypress in Charleston harbor, some
of them having been landed in
Charleston navy yard, Captain Bryan
of the navy yard announced today.
The naval collier went down in
shallow water late Friday and during
the night it was feared that all Of
the 142 men aboard had been lost, as
no information could be received from
the rescue ships which hurried to the
scene with the first report of the ac-
cident to the Hector.
The Hector carried sixty marines
in addition to her crew of seventy
men and twelve officers. The collier
left Port Royal naval station for Santo
Domingo carrying marines who were
recruits for the United States forces
in Santo Domingo and Cuba.

SHALL CITY
ISSUE BONDS
At THIS TINE?
EMERGENCIES ARISE THAT
MUST BE MET. CITY WITHOUT
FUNDS, MUST VOTE BONDS IF
WORK is TO CONTINUE.

Commenting upon a recent action
of the board of city commissioners
in calling an election for the pur-
pose of voting the bond issue July
81, acting mayor London stated yes
terday morning his views upon the
matter in part as follows:
Speaking from personal stand
point only, | like number OF tax
payers both great and small would
be only too glad to avoid any step
that would tend to make the burden
of taxpaying ,any higher than it is
now. Already many of us think our
taxes are about as high as we are
able to bear. and any effort to in
crease them is liable to be looked up
on unfavorably by the average citi-
zen.
But in this case the call for the
bond issue is the logical result
of an emergency brought about by
conditions that none of us can easily
control. The unprecedented growth
and prosperity of the city has
brought on a need for enlargine
facilities for meeting the actual de
mands' of the people. People are de
manding water and sewer extensions
to which the city mas promised tc
provide. Much of the water and
sewer equipment, once adequate have
become insufficient and unsatisfac
tory because the city has outgrowr
their capacity.
In order to take care of these press
ing demands the city is compelled tC
| have material and equipment anC
have the work done, this will have
to be paid for by the taxpayers, th'
the logical and business way is t
issue bonds payable within twenty
five years bearing five per cent. in
! terest as stated in the call
'An outline of these present de
mands and proposed improvement!
4 may be seen by any one so that an!
taxpayer may see for himself jus
where it is proposed to spend thu
money that may be raised by tn,
bond issue. l earnestly hope tha
before any one makes up his mind OF
this proposition he will look CAREFUL!
into the situation and be governed
accordingly"

ATHLETICS PUT END
TO LOSING STREAK

Philadelphia, July 20.-Philadelphia
lost the first game with Cleveland to-
day by score of 4 to 2, and then
broke losing streak which had
reached nine straight by winning the
second contest, TO 0.
The visitors captured the first game
by pounding Sheehan's delivery for
five hits and three runs in the second
inning. OF the eleven hits made by
the two teams in the second game only
two by the Athletics and one by Cleve-
land went out of the infield.
The games were probably the quick
est on record here for double header
in the American League, requiring only
one hour and eighteen minutes for the
first and one hour and twenty minutes
for the second.
The scores follow:
