Elected in the Home Life of
England, TIP. 0'Connor,
Irish Envoy, Says.

Washington, July 30.-England didn't
abandon s'its orgie of ostentation and
luxury until the death lists began to
pour in from the trenches.

ton program here today.
The white haired celt went on to tell
more of what happened to the British
housewife and other stay at homes,
drawing comparisons with the same
things happening in this country today.
"Luxuries in England have been prac-
tically wiped out" said he. "A few
men still drink champagne now and
then, but with a certain air of apology.
The lesson l think one might draw
from what is taking place in England
Is that selfdenial has become easy to
those outside the trenches largely be-
cause of the heoric sacrifice of those
who are in the trenches.
THE var thus has had a great ele-
waiting Influence on the morale of the
nation. 1t has been q beneficient inter

The situation on the Russian front

cannot be greatly increased on this

stances than in any spring since the

QUIET IN ~PETRoGRAD.

London, July 30.-Dispatches from
Petrograd dealing with the military
and political situation concur that Pet
rograd itself Is outwardly calmer than
it has been for months, which Is at
tributed to Premier Kerensky's strong
oppressive measures. including the dis
arming OF rioters and mutineers. Among
the arrested extremists is said to be
Madame Kollontae.
The ministry of justice is said to
have issued a statement that it has
clear proof that Nikolai Lenine, the
radical socialist, and two of his asso-
ciaIes, Zinovieff and kamenof. were
concerned in a German plot against
Russia. None of the correspondents,
however, mentions the arrest Of Lenine,
The whole internal situation is said tG
show signs of improvement and accord
ing to the Times Odessa correspondent,
it is generally recognized that the var
1ous domestic problems must now await
the end of the war for solution.
On the other hand, this corresponds
ent records the victory of the extren-
lists in the recent reelection OF the local
executive of the council of workmen's
and soldiers delegates.
1t is Believed that the Germans them
selves were disconnected by the unex-
pected retreat of mutinous Russian
troops near !Tarncpol, and lack suffi-
cient forces at that point to take full
advantage of the situation.

MAKES FINE LINAMENT

Lee Fisher, who has been con-
Quoting a barber shop and chiropo-
dist parlor in this city for many
years, is the manufacturer in a lin
tied way of one Of the finest lima
ments ever used in this section. He
calls the medicine Tortoise Lima
ment. 1t has been used by many of
our leading citizens who are loud in
their praise of it. For frost bite,
tooch-ache, sore throat, etc, it has
proven most successful. Fisher
claims it is the only linament that
is so compounded that one does not
have to "shake well before using"
The demand having grown to such
proportions the owner of the for
mula is contemplating the organiza-
ton of a stock company to place
the linament on the market in the
way its merits demand.

FORMER LOCAL MAN
PASSES AWAY AT LEXINGTON

Mr.. Martin William King, famil-
iarly known by a wide acquaintance
of friends as Chilly" King, died at
his home in Lexington last Thurs
day morning, following an illness of
several weeks, during which time he
was intense sufferer with acute
stomach trouble. While his death
was not entirely unexpected it was
a dreadful shock to his family and
wide circle Of friends and relatives.
Mr.. King moved with his father
to this county in 1850 from Nicho.
las, and resided here until 27'years
ago when he moved to Lexington,
where he has been prominent in
business circles.
He is survived by his wife, who,
before marriage was Miss RATHER
inc Calvin. of Covingtnn, and two
daughters, Misses Willie Martina
and Helen King. Besides his i'm
mediate family he is survived by
four sisters, Mrs. B. ]. Welch, of
Lexington; Mrs. Joe M. Conroy,
Miss Margaret King and Miss
Mayme King, of this city, and two
brothers, James P. King, of Lexing-
ton, and Augustus M. King, of this
city, who have the sympathy Of
hosts of friends in their bereave-
ment.
The funeral services were held
in Lexington Saturday morning with
burial in the Catholic cemetery III
that city.
Mr.. King was a man of high per
sonal character, was a most sociablt
and likable man who numbered his
friends by his acquaintance. II
his passing the world has indeed
lost friend to man, as he was new
er happier than when doing some
thing for others and his pleasing
demeanor and good fellowship vii
be sadly missed by a throng Of
friends. He always endeavored tt
do something to tighten the burden
of his fellow-man and in so doing
the world has been made brighter
and better for the life of Mr.. King

TAX PAYERS
HOLD MEETING
Auditor Robert Greene and Clerk of
Commission Ben Marshall Ad-
dress Meeting.

The county court room would not
hold the men that gathered at the
Court House Saturday afternoon to
discuss the new tax law. Gen. NJ. M.
Logan had been invited to address
the meeting but was unable to be
present and sent Auditor Robert
Greene and Mr.. Ben Marshall, clerk
Of the commission, TO explain the
details and the working of the new
tax assessment, blanks, etc. The
writer listened to both Mr. Greene
and MIR. Marshall and the main
point that we caught was that the
County Assessor was expected to
increase the tax assessment on land
and town lots in this county at least
20 per cent. Both gentlemen had
stacks and stacks of figures and
could show one by the figures that
the increase was fair and just and
we should receive same jubilantly
but when We stopped to figure that
our taxes have been gradually in
creased for the past ten years we
could not enter into the spirit of the
meeting with Messrs. Greene and
Marshall and as has often been said
one can prove anything by figures.
These gentlemen said Montgomery
county's land assessment was the
second highest in the Ninth District,
being surpassed by Mason only and
that "the county as a whole was
way above the average" The gen.
tlemen instructed the Assessor that
where he thought a farm or other
property was being given in high
enough not to increase same and
that in some instances he would
have to increase assessments 40 per
cent or more but that as a whole
the tangible property was to be in
creased 20 per cent.

NEGROES TO BE TRAINED
AT EVERY CANTONMENT

With plenty of room available at
the National army environments,
due to the large number of men to
be withdrawn to fill up the national
guard and other branches, the War
Department has again modified its
plans for training negro troops of
the national army forces. 1t is now
the purpose, Secretary Baker said
yesterday, to train a complete unit
of negroes at each of the 16 can
tonments, instead of training them
at environments to which q consid-
cradle number report. The size of
the units will depend upon the num-
her of negro drafted men from the
divisional area which supplies each
environment, but where there is q
large surplus men will be sent to
posts with smaller numbers for con-
solidation with the training unit
there. The first of the drafted ne
groes will be modified under the
call of October 3. The number tc
be taken from each division will moi
be uniform and the allotment has
not been announced.
