FowLE's SON KILLS NEGRO.

Mr.. N. W. Fowle, OF this city, re-
ceived the unwelcome news Friday
afternoon that his son, j. M. Fowle,
special agent for the L. e. N, and
who has been with the company for
over 13 years, shot and killed a ne
gro named Clifford Lane on passen-
ger train No. 81 as it was running
into the railroad yards at Knoxville
Mr.. Fowle, whose duty it is to look
after the interests of the company,
and the carrying of whisky into dry
territory by suspicious characters is
an infraction of the company's rules,
was Informed that Lane and his bro
ther were on the train with a lot of
booze. He and deputy sheriff went
to arrest the men. The deputy ar
rested one of the brothers in thu col
ored coach, but Fowle found Clifford
Lane on the steps, ready to jump off
the train. He grappled with him and
succeeded in bringing him into the
car, but the latter resisted and threw
Mr.. Fowle to the floor twice. Hav-
ing the advantage of being on top
and Mr.. Fowle already having re-
ceived a cut on one of his hands. he
drew his pistol and fired one shot
l1eiilt = itAb VI ttAob
just below the heart and he died in
five minutes. Lane had on a canvas
belt with a half dozen pint bottles
of whisky in it and the bullet that
ended his life went through one of
the bottles on it's deadly mission.
Lane was a well-known bootlegger
and had been frequently arrested
and fined for plying that trade. Mr.
Fowle was held until his trial, which
was set for Monday morning, in
$4,000 bond, which he readily gave.
He is held in high esteem by the l..
& N. officials and has big following
in Knoxville, where he makes his
Headquarters. That Mr.. Fowle acted
in elf-defense is evident and it is
more than probable that the court
will so decide.
A letter from Mr. Fowle to his fa-
Their. Mr.. N. w. Fowle, of this city,
received this morning states that the
examining trial was waived and the
grand jury will take action on the
case.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

The American forces are contrib
uting notably to the maintenance Of
the line on sectors of the French
front to the southwest. The men in
the sector northwest of Toul added
to their laurels by repellng, in con-
junction with the French, another
German attack on the positions in
Brule wood, in the Forest of Apre-
mont, east of st. Mihiel. A counter
attack was launched and the Ger
mans were thrown out of the position
at point where they had gained a
footing. Details of the repulse of
Fridays two attacks upon the Amer
leans in this sector show that during
the fighting, which lasted virtually
all day. the American troops inflicted
heavy casualties on the enemy and
took thirty-siX prisoners. They suf-
fered few casualties themselves and
had no men taken prisoner.
Sir Horace Plunkett, in a letter to
Lloyd George, offered a basis for
f-government in Ireland. Though
the convention was not able to get
together on the question of Home
Rule, the scheme as laid down by Sir
Horace was applauded as a possible
solution to the question. In the
matter of duties and excuses the plan
proposes that the Imperial Parlia-
ment shall levy the taxes but that
all the proceeds shall 90 TO Ireland.
1t was upon the fiscal affairs that the
opposing factions could not agree
the bones of contention being Ulster
and customs. All the internal affairs
Of Ireland, according to the plan,
shall be administered by an Irish
Parliament.
The British and French not only
have checked the German drive, they
have repulsed the enemy at a num-
Der of places. The Teutons were
driven out of Neuve Eglise by the
British. while four attacks against
Bailleul were beaten off. The Franch
recaptured all of the village of Han
gard, where the Germans had gained
a foothold the night before.
The momentum of the German at
tacks against the British lines be-
tween Lens and Ypres has been
broken, and while the Teutonic
forces have driven a wedge into the
allied lines, no important railroad
centers have been taken and the line
unbroken.
American forces near Toul are
standing firm before heavy attacks
by the Germans and have held their
lines intact in spite of all the weight
of men and metal the enemy has
loosed against them. The Germans
have lost heavily.

SAYS FUND SoUANDERED

Charging that fractional politics is
to blame, State Inspector and Ex-
aminer Nat B. Sewell, in a report
on Pulaski county, written by C. C.
Thomas, assistant inspector and ex-
aminer, says that thousands of dol
lars of the 100000 road bond issue
of the county have been diverted
from State-aid work, illegally ex-
pended and misused, and calls upon
the Attorney Generals department
to sue for recovery of the money
from officers and their bondsmen and
from contractors. The condition in
Pulaski, he says while unusually bad,
is typical of the view many local Of
ficers take of public funds and the
responsibilities of office. Summed up
the report shows that, including I'M
sold bonds, there remains out of the
100000 available $S1, 515.27, after
grading 33 miles and surfaced %
miles at an average cost per mile of
S6,291.27. He charges that county
officers should reimburse the road
fund $26,676.54.

GOV. BLACKS GOOD SPEECHES

Lieut.. Gov. James ID. Black deliv-
cred two excellent speeches in this
county, speaking at Stanford Satur-
day night to an open session of the
Liberty Service League and at Hus-
tonville to the league there Sunday
afternoon. His train Saturday night
was over two hours late and it was
1870 when he arrived, but he had a
good audience, Notwithstanding, and
he made an excellent talk of an hour.
he had no particular topic but, as he
said he would do, just spoke at ran
dom. A good deal of his time was
devoted to the war and the duties
OF the people at this crucial time. He
urged the folks back home to give the
boys who had gone forward every
backing possible and to let them
know that they would stick by them
whatever betide. He paid a beauti-
ful tribute to the President, as well
as the flag that has never known de-
feat, and let us all join in the prayer
that it never will. He told of the
advantages of living in free coun-
try as compared with that of king
doms ruled by families for ages. He
told of the horrors of the war the
0CAhdIiS are WdRlnS anu prayed JHdU
the time will never come when sucn
brute as the kaiser would rule the
greatest country under the canopy of
high heaven, as the United States is.
Hi remarks met with deafening ap-
plAuse and the magnificent hearing
given him showed the good feeling
for the speaker and the interest Lin
coin county people have in all who
as trying to make the country bet
ter at this critical period Gov.
Black's work as lieutenant governor
was considerably discussed at the
CONCLUSION of his remarks and many
expressed themselves as being for
him for governor next year. Ger
tainly it would be hard to find a bet
terror cleaner man or one who would
poll "a greater number of votes in the
finel election. The Liberty Service
League of Stanford and Hustonville
are entitled to a vote of thanks for
bringing Gov. Black to this county
and having him give the treats his
two Speeches proved to be.

DANISH CATARRH
Breathe Hyomei for Tmo Minutes
and Stuffed Up Head Will
Get Relief

If you want to get relief from ca
tarrh, cold in the head or from an
irritating cough in the shortest time
breathe Hyomei.
1t will clean out your head in two
minutes. 1t will relieve you of dis
gushing snuffles, hawking, splitting
and offensive breath in a week.
Hyomei is made chiefly from a
soothing, healing, germ killing anti
septic, that comes from the eucalyp-
tus forests of inland Australia where
catarrh, asthma and consumption
were never known to exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe. Just pour few drops into
the hard rubber inhaler and one bot
tie of Hyomei, costs but little at
druggists everywhere and at The
Penny Drug Store. If you already
own an inhaler you can get an extra
bottle of Hyomei at druggists.

GIRLS! ITS YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS!
Says Women Pay Too Much Heed to
Their Face Instead of
Their Corns.

Watch your step! A brisk. lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp a little.
That's bad, girls, and you know it.
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-
sides corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by
asking at any drug store for quar-
ter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is a gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.

MRS. DUNN DIES SUDDENLY

Postmaster H. J. McRoberts re-
ceived the sad intelligence this morn
ing of the sudden death of his sister,
Mrs. James Dunn, of Danville, of ..ap-
oplexy. She was in her usual good
health Monday and her death was a
terrific shock to the husband, three
daughters, as we'll as to the many
other relatives and friends. Mrs.
Dunn was an excellent christian wo.
man and her removal from earthly
scenes is distinct loss to the COM

long and where she was universally
loved. She was born in this county,
where she is remembered by a host
of friends, who are saddened because
of her untimely death. No arrange
ments have vet been made for the
burial. Mr. McRoberts went at once
to Danville to be with the loved ones
in their great trouble.
