Al Gardner Does
$4,000 Business.

Mr.. AL Garener, the hustline
young Martin merchant, was in
Dresden on last Monday afternoon
and informed the Enterprise that
Feb. 5 was his first business ami.
yersary. He had just finished
taking stock, finding that during
his first year Of cash sales Of mer-
chandise at Martin totaled SIS, 900,
and old business men say this is a
record breaker for any oithe towns
in this entire section OF the coun-
try.
Mr.. Gardner found, after taking
stock, that he had a $4,000 stock
Of goods, most OF it, however,
spring and summer goods Of late
purchase. This includes his two
stocks-dry goods and groceries.
Mr.. Gardner states these goods
were bought before the recent ad-
vances and that he is in position
no save his customers some
money.
He states that the reason ne has
enjoyed this liberal patronage is
because he has watched the mar
kets, buying ahead OF the adj
vance, giving his customers the
benefit OF his foresight, and luther
that he considers his liberal use Of
printers ink largely responsible
for his increased and growing
trade.
Mr.. Gardner is a genteel, courte-.
GUS young gentleman, with whom
it is a pleasure to deal, and the
Enterprise delights to mention his
phenomenal success.

L|FELESS BODY IS
FOUND IN C|STEPN.
Arthur Taylor, 60 Years Of Age, Ends Life
Near PaInersuNe EARLY Thursday Morn
ing. Mind Deranged.

On last Thursday morning, al
about s o'clock, after half a night
search, neighbors found the lifeless
body OF Mr.. Arthur TAYLOR in the
cistern on his back porch at bis
home near Palmersville. The
cistern was eighteen feet deep with
eight feet OF water.
About l o'clock Thursday morn.
ing Mr.. Taylor got up, builded q
fire in the fireplace and gave Mrs.
Taylor. who was sick, a dose Of
medicine. He stepped out the
door and Mrs. Taylor dropped off
to sleep. She aWoke at 8 o'clock,
missed her husband'and called the
boys, who instituted a search all
over the place for him, looking in
the lots, stables and other places
about the premises. Failing to
find their father the boys called in
the neighbors and the search was
continued until after daylight, the
bodyE being found at about s
o'clock in the cistern.
When found he had a razor in
his pocket, and the conclusion is
that he took his own life in a fit OF
dependency, as he was never
known to carry razor before. 1t
would have been impossible for
MIN to have fallen in the cistern,
the opening being barely large
enough to admit his body. For
some days the family had observed
an unusual popularity about the
old gentleman, but thought little
of it.
Mr.. Taylor was an honorable,
upright, Woodworking citizen. He
had no enemies and his domestic
relations we're ideal. He is sur
vived by FIVE children and his wife.
He had been a citizen of that
community for a long number Of
years. The body was laid to rest
on Friday, a large crowd attending
the interment, The bereaved
family have the profound sympa-
thy OF all their friends.

The Farmer in

Never before in the history oil
our country has there been so
much talk on agricultural subjects
and things pertaining to the farm

agricultural awakening and is fast
taking its place as the leading
county in the state. Never before,
at this time Of the year, could we
have found so many acres of land
that had been fall ploWed, so many
homes that had been remodeled
or improved within one year, so
many acres Of new ground cleared,
so many silos built, such a great
improvement in live stock, the re-

GERMAN OUTRAGES
BRINGS WAR NEARER
President May Soon Ask Congress Authority
For Vigorous Action. Wilson Hestates
To Take Fatal Step, However.

Washington, Feb. IA. - The
steady accumulation Of violations
OF American rights by Germany
made it appear possible today that
President Wilson would 90 before
congress to ask authority for
further protecting lives and pro-
perty without waiting for a serious
disaster which might shock the
country. There were no indica-
tions, however, that he believed
the time for such a step had come,
and it again was stated authora-
tevely that he would move DELHI
erately and with full appreciation
of all the consequences involved.
Official reports OF the sinking of
the American schooner Lyman M.
Law in the Mediterranean by an
Austrian submarine added only
slightly to the tension, for while
the act is believed to have been il
legal, no lives were lost and the
vessel apparently was warned.
The incident was not looked upon
as one in itself sufficient to hurry
the development of the situation.
Preliminary reports began COM
ing to government departments
showing the piling up along the
Atlantic seaboard Of goods destin-
ed for export to European ports.
No serious effect from this condi-
ton will be felt, however, until
lapse of sufficient time for ships
remaining in American ports to
have gone to Europe are returned.
While only approximately 10 per
cent of American commerce with
Europe is carried on American
ships, the sailings of vessels OF
other nationalities in many in
stances have either been cancelled
or postponed, and therefore the
results of ruthless submarine
campaign in time will result in far
reaching disturbance of the indus
trial life of the United States.

Death Of Infant.

The blind baby OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Hall, residing on the Ed
Alexander farm, near Travis
Chapel, died on last Friday and was
inferred Saturday. This was the
poor little fellow mentioned by the
Enterprise some weeks ago as hav.
ing been born minus the eye-balls.
The sockets were perfectly formed,
but there was not even a sign Of
an eye-ball. AT first it bid fair to
grow to be a strong, robust child,
but sickened and died.

THE SUPREME PASSION.
BY DOROTHY IDX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Write

The unwritten law of man has
not only set free but justified the act
of thousands of men who have
slain the men who robbed them of
their wives.
Will the unwritten law of wo-
man. which recognizes motherhood
as the supreme passion of woman's
soul, save the woman who killed
the man who was trying to rob
her of her child?
On the answer to that question
depends the fate of Mrs. Blanca De
Saulles, who shot her divorced hus-
band a few days ago in his home
at Hampstead, l. l., when he re-
fused to give her little boy back
to her. even for the time the court
had allotted the child to her.

story with a grimmer ending than

dy in high life. Mrs. De Saulles,

WAR FEVER IS GETTING HOLD
 ON CHINESE
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 PEKING, April 23-Thc war senti- ment in China is increasing daily. The Chinese are incensed over the action of Germany in detaining the Chinese minister in Berlin pending the safe arrival of von Hintz, German minister to Picking. There is also great indig- nation over the detention of Chinese students in Berlin and Munich.
 The military governors will hold their first war conference in Peking on April 25. The majority of the government and parliament favor war but they differ over the attitude China should adopt toward the Entente The indications are that China will declare independently.
 The Chinese newspapers reproduce Washington dispatch from Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, Chinese minister to the United States, in which he urges China to declare war by itself and not in partnership with the Entente Dr. Roo argues that China's position would be stronger if it acted inde. pcndently and that 1t could cooper ate freely with the Allies and the United States.
