OF the dignity and responsibility Of
the high and honorable position which,
the people, for the first time in the his
tory Of our state are called upon d.
rectly to fill by a legalized primary,
to be held on the first Thursday in

gagged will have a voice in the selec-
tion of the man who shall represent
them in the senate.
+ 81 shall endeavor to conduct my can
didacy in such manner as to comport
with the true ideals of Tennessee, not
forgetting that the hearts OF our peo-
pie are with the boys in line Of duty,
and are more concerned about the IS
sues involved in the present war than
they are in the personal fortunes Of
any individual, and knowing as | do
where the heart Of Tennessee is and
should be at this time, no unseemly
canvass will be INDUCED in by me, and
the added duties and responsibilities
now resting upon me by reason of the
titanic struggle for humanity in which
wea re engaged will not be neglected
II would be untrue to my feelings
to attempt to draw the public mind
from the things that concern us most
Of all at this time, simply to crafty
some personal ambition.
GAS it becomes necessary and de-
sirable on the part of the people 10
know my views and feelings on pup

ing my candidacy will meet the de-
mands of a generous public at this

plete answer to all inquiries insofar
as the people have evidenced an in
terest as to my intentions in this mat

gent public for the confidence reposed
in me in the past, and if my course IN
office and the service rendered ar
any guarantee of fidelity, | offer them
as my only bond and pledge for fu-
ture conduct" tom C. RYE"

month since its organization. About
one thousand separate hospital gar
ments were made and four regulation
size boxes Of surgical dressings. Ia
addition, a good number of socks and
sweaters have been knitted. Such a
report as this, coming at this season
of the year, when our women have 50
many other duties, is good indication
of the loyal spirit and faithful perse-
venence of our Brownsville women.
We want to take this opportunity to
express our appreciation of the service
rendered the Red Cross by Mr.. Sam
Taylor Sheriff.. He nails up all of
the boxes that are shipped out by the
Red Cross Headquarters, and says that
he feels that is his Red Cross work. It
is indeed a valuable service and one
which has won for him the gratitune
of the chapter.

day in May was the regular day for
the opening of Circuit court in Hay
wood county. Judge 7. E. Harwood
and Gen. Hilsman Taylor both came
over, but after choosing a grand jury

Haywood county has again show'l
her patriotism by more than raising
her assessment in the second Red
Cross drive. Seven of the twelve dis
tricts in the county raised more than
their quota.
District No. IL, the smallest in the
county, with W. 7. Bond as chairman
Of the soliciting committee was the
first to go over the top.
District No. IL, under the manage
ment of F. B. Shaw, made an enviable
record by paying it's entire contribu-
ton of $1,036.46 in cash.
Following is a list of the districts,
their assessments and the amounts
collected.

Paris, May 29.-Latest advices from
the front is that the German offensive
is slowing up. Much artillery has
been saved from falling into the ene-
mys hands. The number of prisoners
los: is not unduly large, considering
the gigantic effort of the foe.
Gen. Foch now has the situation well
in hand and French troops are begin
ming to gain on the German advanced
is slowing up. Much artillery has
forces in a contest of speed. No I'M
portant line of communication is yet
threatened by the advance Of the Ger
man crown prince.
Those on the scene declare it is not
too much to say that another AZ hours
will see the German drive definitely
stopped. High praise is given the
French reserves for the perfect order
in which they are coming into the fight
ing line.
In the vicinity of Fismes, on the
south bank of the Yesle river, there
was heavy fighting in which British
cycling battalion distinguished itself
before retiring in the face Of over
whelming pressure.
The fighting Of the first few days,
although all onesided, has been inde-
cisive as the entente allied reserves
still have to play their role, The task
Of the allied commanders in meeting
such a brusque attack was most diff
cult. Now they are able to act with
decision.
AS the battle stood at last accounts
late this afternoon-Fismes, on the
Paris -Rheims-Verdun Railway, had
been lost, retaken, and evidently lost
again, and to the southwest of this
railroad center the German advance
had reached the towns of Bruys, and
Lyss. Bruys lies Is miles south Of
the Chateau des Danes and 67-mile
airplane trip from Paris.
(Note.-This places the maximum
depth Of the German advance in the
center at about is miles since offensive
began.)
1t is now presumed the immediate
objectives of the crown prince are
Fere en- Tardenois and Chateau Thier-
ry, 16 miles southwest of Bruys. This
place is an extremely important rail-
lad center, as is Fere en- Tardencia.
The allied left and right wings are
resisting with ferocious valor,. Heavy
French reserves have joined the CEN
ter, Severe fighting goes on in the
region Of Serces, west of Braisne.
(Note-This indicates iwthdrawel
Of the allied left southwark to a dis
tance of about four miles since last
night.
The fighting is fereest for the dou-,
ble-track railroad connecting Rheims
with Paris by way of Fismes, the en-
emy coveting the sector of this line
above Fere en- Tardenois. The battle

A BOOST FOR

workers, namely: Shaw McCleish, L..
G. Graves, DR.. Mulheron, Jim Bin
ford, DIR. w. R. Miller, Mr.. Higgins,
o. L. Jeffries and Jim Capell, not only
raised the amount. but turned in to the
districts credit $1,026.69 all in cash,
with no cards signed. This is a per-
feet record and one that we should be
proud Of, and we, the workers, want to
thank each and every one both black
and white, who contributed to this
great cause to help win the war.

SOLDIER DESCRIBES
TRIP TO CAMP
Camp Merritt, N. j., May l6
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Cook

Mr.. and Mrs. H. Cook
Well, we got to the end Of our trip
last night. We are about Is miles
from New York City. l haven't been
to New York yet, but think I'll go to-
morrow We sure had a fine trip.
The railroad runs along the bank Of
Lake Erie for long way. That sure
is some lake. We crossed the Catskill
mountains; sure saw some sights there
Saw several small waterfalls. We
went in about twenty-five miles of
Niagara Falls. We went through
several big cities. The people sure
did make noise at every town we
went through. It seemed like they
had all the whistles blowing and all
the bells ringing and the people yell
ing all at the same time. There was
sure a crowd at the train at every
place that we stopped, but we were not
allowed to get off the train. The Red
Cross women gave us books to read,
writing paper, cigarettes and home
made candy. | don't know what all
they did give us. We sure had time
in Buffalo, N. Y. We got off and
took a, hike around town. The crowd
followed us all around and back to the
train. This is very pretty place.
The street cars run from New York
out to this camp. Well, viii close for
this time. Write real soon and a long
letter. As ever,

Only a very few citizens were ask
ed to contribute who failed to do SO,
A few slackers were found who refus-
ed to pay their assessments, although
amply able to do so. Their names were
turned over to the proper authorities
for investigation.
Since the beginning of the war Hay
wood county has more than met every
assessment asked of her and in this
work white and black people have alike
done their duty as patriots.

May 29-The enemy counter attacks
against the American troops, who yes
terday stormed their way into Cantis-
ny, have been repulsed, and at latest
reports the oversees men were holding
their positions in the shell-torn village
strongly.
Three counter attacks made by the
Germans to retake terrain which they
had lost in Picardy Monday complete
ly broke down in the face Of American
Artillery fire and the heroism Of our
infantrymen. All the ground won by
the Americans on Monday remains in
their possession.
The enemy launched another heavy
gas attack against our troops in the
Luneyille sector early this morning
and attempted to reach our lines az
three places. They were repulsed
with comparatively heavy losses.
The first attack, made two KLINE
ters southwest of Premenil, broke down

and Germans fought in gas masks.
Soon afterward the enemy put down
a heavy barage kilometer to the west
and IA Germans managed to pene-
trate a trench ia which the Americans
on Monday were subjected to a gas
attack and who were fighting mad.

dug-outs, and kand-to-hand fighting,
which was bloody for the Germans, en-
sued, the Americans going for the en-
