TURKEY BREAKS ALLIANCE
WITH CENTRAL POWERS

Washington, July 29.-While no Of
ficial notice of the breach of relations
between Germany and Turkey - or
rather the central powers, for with
out doubt Austria is involved with
Germany in the dispute with the Otto
man government-has reached Wash
ington, officials express little surprise
tonight at the Copenhagen dispatch
received from London saying that
Germany and Turkey had several re-
lations. In official circles here for
some time past, it has been realized
that in her efforts to save both Tur-
key and Bulgaria in the division Of
spoils resulting from the enforced
peace treaty with Roumania, Germany
had incurred the ill-will Of both her
allies.
Following the conclusion Of the
peace treaty with Roumania at Jassy.
both Turkey and Bulgaria laid claim
to much Of the territory which Rou-
mania had been forced to cede to her
enemies. Included in these claims
was the title to the railway running
from Adrianople to Deadeagatch. and

TWO MEN IN A BOAT
NOT TO SPEAK OF THE SNAKE

Two of our most enthusiastic dis
ciples of Izaak Walton, members of
the Cold Creek Fishing Club, who
have been spending several days at
that popular resort this week, were
fishing from dugout in that stream
Tuesday, when one of them, who was
very intent on the sport. suddenly
discovered that a very large water
moccasin had crawled up his arm.
which he had hung over the side Of
the boat No sooner was the dis
covery made than both the anglers
plunged into the water in much the
same manner as a bass-toned frog.
The water was very deep, but they
managed to swim ashore in their
clothes. The shore was very near
and vet, so far. The serpent was
left in complete possession Of the
capsized craft.
The names Of the two gentlemen
are John L. Johnson and Peter Fyfe-
but don't tell anyone we told you.
Mr.. johnson was the one who took
the initiative in the plunge bath, but
his banker friend ran him close
second. and the shore looked mighty
good to them when they set foot on
it. and the face Of ]. E. Walker, who
was waiting to receive them at camp,
looked super-fine to them.

Statement from County
Food Administrator
LOVELY YOUNG LADY
ANSWERS DEATHS CALL


Our community was greatly shock
iea Monday morning over the news
lof the Sudden death of Miss .Otha
Elan, which occurred at her home on
South Main street, at $3.50 o'clock.
The young lady had been suffering
from stomach trouble for a few
weeks, and had returned only a few
days before her death from Dawson
Springs, where she had been in the
hope of being improved by the waters
there. She was taken suddenly worse,
however, about 10 o'clock Sunday
night, and sank rapidly until the hour
cf her passing away, at the time
above stated.
Miss Elan was the daughter Of
A. H. and Lyna Elan, and was born
at the Elan old homestead, on the
Mason road. four miles south of this
city, a little less than n years ago.
She had been faithful and consis-
tent member of the Methodist church
since childhood, and had always been
prominent in church work, a member
of the various church societies, a
teacher in the Sunday school and
member Of the choir. She was a
young woman noted for her lovely
and amiable disposition, and num-
bered her friend by the extent of
her acquaintance. Her sad and I'M
timely death has cast a gloom over
the entire community, and the deepest
and most sincere sympathy is felt
for the bereaved family in their al
most inconsolable grief.
The deceased is survived by her par
ents, by one brother, Mr.. Garnet
Elan, of Pascagoula, Miss, a sister,
Miss Ursula Elan. of this city,
half brother, Mr.. Jake Murchison. of
Kansas City, and a half sister, Mrs.
]. R. Sanford, of Dallas, Texas.
The funeral services were held
in the First Methodist Church on
Wednesday morning, July 81, at 1OI
o'clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. r. A. Clark. The interment
took place in Munford cemetery i'm
after the services.

this became the source Of the great
contest between the two allied nations.
Germany for some time endeavored
to induce the two countries to settle
this dispute amicably by suggesting
that the nation which failed
to obtain he railway receive other
compensation.
Belief in Turkey that favoritism
was being shown Bulgaria by Ger
many in the negotiations, according
to recent dispatches received here,
caused a rapid growth Of anti-Ger-
man feeling in Constantinople. A
shortage of food. weariness Of the
war and dissatisfaction with the
Young Turk party because Of its
submission to German control recent
" found expression in Constantinople
in food riots and munitions uprisings
which have been sternIy suppressed
by the military authorities.
That Turkey has become more and
more weary Of the war was indicated
in the failure Of the latest Turkish
loan in June. According to Swiss dis
patches, only 12,000,O00 pounds was
obtained Of s2,000.000 pounds sought.

HAUL At BRIGHTON
Loot from Two Stores Robbed on
Monday Night Runs into Hun
dreds-Miscreants Escape

The stores of J. M. Smithson and
~. B. Baird, at Brighton, were bur-
glarized some time during Monday
night. Entrance was gained to the
first-named store by breaking out
the transom of the back door and
climbing over it. The robber or rob
bers succeeded in making away with
insurance policies amounting to $4,000,
three Liberty bonds Of 500 each, $50
in war savings stamps, SIS in thrift
stamps. big lot of pocket knives,
box of jewelry, box Of shirts, four
pairs Of shoes and $50 in cash. The
Liberty bonds stolen from Mr..
Smithson were Of the third issue
and were numbered as follows No.
31S5698, No. 80 and No. 3185700.
Mr.. Baird's loss was much smaller,
heN only missing several pairs of
overalls, some flour and few other
articles Of merchandise. Entrance
was gained to Mr.. Baird's store by

Ia County 81 Outside $I25
Discusses Items of Interest, Patriotic
and Otherwise, to the Gen.
eral Public.

T Mr.. w. M. Simonton, the govern
ment fuel administrator, has been in
conference with the fuel committee
of the club, and asks us to urge the
people to supply themselves with
sufficient coal for next winters use.
Investigation shows that not many
7 of our people who live in the coun-
try and use coal have laid in a supply
up to this date. When the crops be-
gin to move and coal begins to be
shipped to eastern ports to supply
our many new ships, no more cars
will be available to bring coal to US.
The government has given us fair
warning, and if we suffer from cold
next winter we will have only our
selves to blame.
a'uh's labor committee has de-
ferred action for a few days until
we can get direct instruction from
the government as to how we are
expected to proceed Uncle Sam
seems determined to handle the labor
Stacker as we'll as the soldier slack
or.
Very early this year the govern
ment gave out the slogan, "The south
must feed itself this year." Now
the south has not done its best in
The production Of food but it seems
at this time that we have raised an
enormous cotton crop, and all Of our
people are very much concerned
about the price we are going to get
for it, Shipping facilities are limit
ed, as we were told they would be.
1t is estimated that the cost Of pro-
ducing this years crop is from n
to 20 cents. If the price falls be-
low those figures, then we are losers.
Some time we will learn to take the
advice Of our government-especially
in time of war. Now the advice is
that we buy coal and sow wheat.
Our Covington merchants haven't
vet gotten together on plan for the
delivery of goods. The towns OF
Brownsville and jackson
are making only one delivery a day,
and in some places deliveries have
been abandoned altogether. II our
people are as patriotic as they should
be. they will help the local merchants
by complying with the governments
request to "carry small parcels. When
pay cash, Man power must
be conserved if the worlds work

multiplied millions of men kept on
he firing lines.

SEND MONEY TO SOLDIERS
INSTEAD OF MERCHANDISE

The original order that the approx
al If 4 regimental or higher COM
mander was necessary before pack
ages might be sent to members Of the
revolutionary forces has been modi-
fled 90 officers with the rank OF
major and higher may approve ship
ments. The approval Of company
commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment OF
parcels to France first came to the
attention Of the war department when
the commanding general Of the expe-
dictionary forces cabled that conges-
tion Of such articles had reached
snch point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. 4
hoard appointed by the secretary OF
war and the postmaster general ex.
amined 5000 sacks OF parcel posi-
matter, and found that the articles
being sent not only in the main were
absolutely unnecessary, but undesir-
able. The investigation showed that
the amount Of such mail had reached
a total of 100000 pounds week,
and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according to
a recent statement by the war de-
partment, will find they often can
do q greater service to soldiers BY
sending them money for the purchase
Of articles in France than by for
wardine the articles. Tobacco is now
being supplied as part Of the army
rations, and merchandise Of nearly
every kind may now be purchased
in France through the huge general
store established BY the quarternaas-
ter corps at lower prices than charg-
or by retailers here.
