A strong reaction, which during the early
part Of the afternoon session reached the
proportions of a "disorganlzed rout," fol-
lowed closely upon strong opening Of the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, today. Wise
men looked for a resumption OF bull strength
after the three-days holiday, but although
an attempt was made TO instill better
tone into the trading, the bears swooped
down upon the market carrying all stocks
before them.
Probably the greatest surprise of the day
was the tumble of United States Steel COM
mon, which went below par for the first
time since IL passed the 10O-mark in 1915

FIRST TO LOSE LIFE.
ClaibOrne's First War Victim Died
Last Monday.

Claiborne county sustained its
first loss of life Monday as result
of the war. Young Ambrose Par
sons of Ingleside, who went in the
second draft to Camp Pike, Ark,
a few weeks ago, died of spinal
meningitis Monday, 22nd.
Young Parsons was ~ years of
age aud was a son of L. D. Par
sons. He was very reserved and
did not mingle with his compan-
ions the day they left for the
camp. However, some of the
ladies showed him considerable
attention and their interest in him
The untimely death of this young
man, who had gone to bis coun
try's defense, will be received with
general regret by the whole coun
ty. Had be lived he might have
distinguished himself on the battle
front aud reflected honor upon his
county.

KILLING FROST.
Temperature Reached Is Degrees.
Low for October.

A freeze, with temperature of IS
degrees yesterday morning, was
almost an October record. Icicles,
as we'll as a very heavy frost. were
visible, and all vegetation suscep-
tible to frost was completely des-
troyed.
However. killing frost was re-
ported by the local government OBJ
server last Saturday morning. on
which day 2S degrees was regis
tered. All of the tenderest vege-
tation, such as cotton, peas, etc.
was kille1.
This Is almost month earlier
than the first killing frost last year.
Nov. 2Ist was the date on which
the first killing frost occurred then.
On that date a temperature was
reported, and on the following day
II degrees. For a whole week
the minimum record did not ex-
ceed 28 degrees. 1t will be re-
membered that many rose bushes
and other shrubbery was killed.
