SAYS HE STRUCK MAN
 WHO REVILED COUNTRY
Bill Morgan Will Be Given Trial This Morning for Alleged Assault
 On Sterling Dalby.

Bill Morgan, one of the watchmen at the free bridge, will be given a trial this morning before Justice of the Peace Gabe Meyer, on a charge of assault and battery, alleged to have been committed Saturday night, at the bridge, upon the person of Sterling Dalby of Jefferson Springs. The complaint was filed by Dalby.
 Constable Clint Green went to the bridge late Saturday night, to for mally arrest Morgan. He did not take Morgan into custody, because of the fact that Morgan was on duty watch ing the bridge, but notified him to be in court for the trial.
 Morgan admitted to the constable that he had struck Dalby, because the later had reviled and abused the United States and President Wood- row Wilson, and stated that he could prove this by a number of witnesses whom he would have in attendance at the trial. Morgan. according to the constable, stated also that he had acted in defense of the preident and the American people, and would act in the same manner at any time, un- der the same circumstances, and that he would not stand idly by and hear anyone abuse the United States and loudly proclaim that he loved the Germans and hoped they would win the war"

NEGRO WILL AID
 REPRESS GERMANS

The negro is to play his part in the greatest of all wars, and, if he plays up to form", he may be relied upon
 Among the various units of the national guard of New York there was considerable rivalry engendered by eagerness to be the first to reach a war footing and report readiness to go to France. The contest finally terminated in favor of the fifteenth infantry, composed entirely of colored men. and numbering 2,100. It was the first to recruit up to full strength and the first to pass the required preliminary qualifications as to mill itary fitness, and as result rival regiments all feel considerable pride in the colored fifteenth. It is to be sent to France with other efficient national guardsmen to fight under the Stars and Stripes at the direction of General Pershing.
 The negro trooper is no stranger to Pershing. It will be remembered that negro regulars were among the most daring and gallant of Pershing's men upon the recent punitive expe- dition into Mexico in pursuit of Villa. From civil war days, through the In- dian disturbances in the west, in our Mexican squabbles, and at San Juan hill, colored regulars have been con- spicuous participants, and reports have frequently carried names of negro warriors singled out for deeds of valor and persona! heroism.
 Army men are agreed that negroes make excellent soldiers, and also efficient officers; and just now, in order to meet coming demands, 1.200 negroes are being trained at Des 'Moines, Iowa, to officer their fellows already under arms and to be re- cruited.
 The negro has no divided allegi- anceance; he is plainly and entirely an American, with no blood qualms to influence his fighting any race or nationality engaged as America's foe. He is loyal to his government, obedi- ent to discipline, and, according to military men, when he gets into a fight, is full of courage.-Atlanta Constitution.

New York lnfi0n.

Now York, July 22. An irregular opening with first prices five points higher to 1 points lower was follow ed almost immediately by a sharp break in the cotton market today when October sold off to 2417c, and December to 2409c, or net loss of 34 to 36 points. Pessimism over the foreign political outlook togethe" with southern selling and a belief that eastern belt damage from raine had been exaggerated caused most of tho weakness. There was Very lit tie trade buying while Liverpool sold considerable cotton around the open ing. Later the market rallied about a dozen points from lowest on cover ing.
 The market ruled fairly steady at noon but with lcssened trade, prices showing net losses of about 17 to % points. Increased offerings of new crop cotton were reported from Texas
 Reports that the allies had agreed to the principle of international ocean freight regulations caused slight ral- Hes ill the early afternoon but on the idea that such agreement would not necessarily add to the supply of ton- mage available the market turned weak again and sold down to new low levels OctcIer touching 23.94c and December 23.92c. or practically $3 bale under Saturdays close.
