1.-THE HIDDEN DEATH"

The first episode of the serial pho
todrama, 1.-THE Eagles Eye" present
ed by The Whartons, noted as pro-
ducers of great serials, in which Chief
Flynn reveals the unwritten history of
the Imperial German Government s
spy plots in America, is called "The
Hidden DEATH" and will be presented
at the Opera House, Wednesday, July
10.
This episode shows how the leaders
of Imperial Germany's spy system in
America operated in contributing to
the plans of the German naval staff
to destroy the Lusitania. Ambassa
dor Won Bernstorff was so sure of her
destruction he inserted an advertise
ment in the New York Times May /,
1915, in effect warning Americans
not to sail on her.
So certain was some one in Berlin
that the Lusitania would be torpedoed
a medal commemorative of the de-
struction of this ship was made and
distributed two days before this
tragedy occurred. She was sunk on
May 7, and the medal was dated May
IS, 1915.
The German naval staff, it would
appear, had an exact date set for this
great tragedy of the sea to occur, but
owing to the fact that the sailing of
the vessel was delayed, she did not
reach the point where the submarines
lay in wait for her till two days later
than had been calculated. This was
the first blow in a war Of frightful-
ness that was intended to strike terror
into the heart of the world and especi-
ally to warn America Of the conse-
quences of war.

WOOL PRICES FIXED.
Entire Crop for This Year to Be Taken
Over by the Government

For some time 1t has been talked
that the government would likely pur-
chase the entire wool crop for this
year. That has now become an estan.
lished fact and the price for wool from
the different sections of the country
have been fixed.
Prices as fixed range from $l.S5 IN
OHIO, New England states, New York,
Pennsylvania. West Va, Kentucky,
Virginia. Michigan, New Jersey, Del
aware and Maryland, DOWN TO $l.O7.
In Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Neb-
raSka and Arkansas the range is from
SIS down to $l.O7. For Georgia and
Lake woos and other southern wools
the price is $l.25 to $1.20. For terri
tory" wool the range Is from $3.50
down to $1.O3. For Texas 81. rs is the
maximum and $1.40 the minimum.
For California the price ranges from
ST. down to $l.40.
While it is not known positively, the
feeling prevails With those best in
formed that the above prices are tor
wool that is washed, and prepared fc,r
the loom and delivered at the resig-.
mated weaving plants and that the
shrlnkage and rreIghts W. # alIypractlc
consume the ditiererce between the
prices above gwen and what is now

several grades. delivered al Allan VIC
ssabuafd points. Dealers in approvet =
,enters and in the country must have
license for purchasing wool, but the
government permits them to begin
BUSINESS at once while making appli-
atlon for license.
When it is remembered that it takes
D pounds of wool to outfit a soldier
or year 1t will readily become clear
hat tremendous amount of it our
oldlers Will require. AS much as 42O

ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.

City May Purchase An Ottft That VIII
Accommodate the Town.

W. S. Boyd. Sparta and Chas. Ander

with Delco Light plant that they say
will furnish 240 light, for four hours,
which would give the necessary light
for the night. The plant will carry
l20 lights continuously and in case of an
emergency will furnish 800 lights tor
two hours. Ihey displayed its working
at the couart house several nights last
week and the lights it furnished, while
only a few. were steady and very
brilliant.
The plant is so arranged that when
it is running at night it has several
storage batteries that will furnish
power for manufacturing purposes
during the day.
Their plan is to sell the plant to the
city. 1t is to cost 81, ,375 comlete, but
that does not include either wire or
bulbs for homes. They estimate the
cost of putting lights into stores and
residences at So. so light, which cost
would have to be bourn by the indlviu-
lal or firm.
Crossville is badly in need of an

MAY HAVE ANOTHER BANK,
Capital Stock $4,000; Plan to Be In
Operation In 30 to go Days.

A. H. McIntire, Bristol, Va. has
been here for some days trying to in
terest Crossville and Cumberland
county people in the establishment et
a State Bank with capitalization OF
10000. 1t is his purpose to have the
bank doing business within 80 to sc
days.
We are not informed as to the
amounts subscribed but 1t seems to be
sufficient to Justify the feeling that the
project is very likely to become a
reality within short time.
The propose bank will be known as
the Farmers and Merchants Bank,
and it will make special effort to
interest those two classes along with
the ordinary citizen and business man.
Just where the bank Will be located
in the event 1t is established, is not
known as vet there are several places
available.
1t seems the idea of the promoters
that small blocks of stock in the hanJs
of many persons is much more desir-
able that large blocks CT stocks in the
hands of few. 1t has been stated
that the holdings Of single individual
Will be limited to 81, 200.
The First National Bank here has
been dong a nice business since
it's establishment some Is years ago
and now some persons feel that the
field is sufficiently large to sustain two
banks, which, if it be true, will un-
doubtedIy prove of great benefit to our
people as a whole and Will bring or
dev elop much more business than now
exists here.
development in this section, espe-
ciaily along the lines of farming and
stock raising. is moving rapidly and
