OVER Wire CONTROL
Unionists Complain To Feder-
al Director Against Tele-
graph Company.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The first day
of governmental control of telegraph
and telephone wires brought out violent
protest to Wire Director David J. Lewis,
when telegraphers Of the Western Union
in Atlanta, Ga, complained against dis
charges of operators there. The West
ern Union, il was declared, announced
its attitude toward union men was un-
changed and continued to discharge
men.
Unrest was reported among tslegra-
pliers in some sections
Postmaster General Burleson issued a
statement urging cooperation between
Iemployes and employers.
Tho course Of the government in sit
nations similar to the one which has
arisen at Atlanta will be determined by
official inquiry.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. Although gov
eramcnt control Of the telegraph sys-
tens is in effect today officials Of the
Western Union continued to discharge
members Of the commercial telegrapeers
union.
Western Union officials stated that
their policy with reference to the union
is unchanged, union officials declared.
Union officials have appealed in a
telegram to David j. Lewis, in charge
Of wire control at Washington, for The
immediate reinstatement Of all locked
out union telegraphers. Approximately
l40 men and women are locked out IN
Atlanta by the Western Union, union
leaders claimed.
A walk out in the Atlanta office Of
the Western Union is threatened.

SMITH COUNTY BOYS ARE ENGAGED
In FIGHTING HUNS In BIG BATTLE

Upon reading the dispatches from the great battle that
has been in progress between the Allies the Germans
for the past several days. has been discovered reg
ments of American soldiers to which Smith countians
long have been participating. Among the boys from
Smith county who are in the thick of the fight are: Al

Of Carthage; William Franklin Sanders of Bob San
ders OF South Carthage; Tug Sexton, of Emwood and
Shafter Coffee, of Gordonsville
Smith county has large number of boys the French
batteelds and doubtless many of them taking part
in pushing the huns back toward Berlin, but from the
news items coming from the great battle the companies
or regiments to which they belong have not been identi
fed In the big battle that has been raging is claim that
the Germans have been using total of million sol
diers, but inspe of that unusually large number the
Americans and their Allies have been succeeding in push
ing them back for distance of several miles.

The scarcity OF print paper neceates such order and

MILK TESTING DEM
ONSTRATION AT FAIR

County Agent D. NJ Galloway has
made arrangements to hold a milk
testing contest at the County Fair
at Carthage August Is, 16 and 18th.
There will be two classes in the
contest with first, second and third
prizes in each class. Glass one will
be for the greatest total amount of
butter-fat produced by a COW in
the testing period. Class two will
be for the highest average percent
of butter-fat in the milk for the test
ing period The testing period in
each will consist of four milkings-
Thursday night, Friday morning and
night, and Saturday morning. All
cows entering either of these classes
must be MIXED in the presence OF
the judge Thursday morning. 1t is
advisable for cows entering these
contests to be carried to the Fair
Grounds on Wednesday SO that they
may become adjusted to their sur
roundings before the test begins. Al,
entries in these classes will be sub
ject to the rules and regulations OF
the Fair Association. First prize IL
each class, $3.50; Second, $500;
Third, $3.50.
War conditions make it imperatlvf
that we produce the greatest posi-
bic amount of food products. There
fore especial interest should attach
to this and other features of food
producing animals this year. 1t Is
hoped that all farmers having cattle,
sheep and hogs of good type and
quality will exhibit these stock at the
Fair so as to stimulate interest in
better live stock for the county.
If you have good mich COW, en-
ter her in the butter fat contest at
the county fair. Thirty dollars
premiums and good chance to find
exactly what your COW is doing N
butter fat production should be great
inducements.

such beautiful morning and l do
hope you are we'll. It is with sor-
row that 1 write you this letter, for
know it will be a shock to you. How
ever, / beg you not to worry over it.
We will be leaving here in a very
short time for some other camp. It
was a surprise to me to learn that we
would leave here so soon, and it seems
that my officers were as much sur
prised as | was.
The only thing that worries me is
that / hate to leave you all so, and
thinking that l was going to get a
pass home. l want to ask you to for
give me, as / was honest in thinking
that / would receive a pass home. Of
course, it depends on when we go, as
to whether l can come or not. Yet
if don't get to come before the war
is over, don't feel like it will be long,
for it seems to me that the Allies
are gaining ground fast.
want you all to take care of your

When the news comes that many
guns have been captured, it means
cannons; not rifles. The smallest
size and the much more numerous are
the three inch guns, whose shell
weighs about Is pounds, then there
are 4 1-2 inch, 6 inch, inch, 8 inch
and up to the 20 inch, whose shell
weighs about 5000 pounds. The
French small gun is called rs, be-
cause its diameter is IS centimetres,
which is just a fraction less than 8
inches, while the German small gun
is n centimeters just little over 3
inches. The British have a three
inch gun. The Italian guns are the
same dimensions as the French. 1t
is very seldom that the number of
rifles captured is ever given. Ma
chine guns, which shoot the same
sized bullet as the rifle are always
counted separately from the larger
guns, while trench mortars, which
shoot bomb only a few hundred
yards at the outside, are also num-
bered separately from the above.

The bottom of the U. was general on
a twenty five mile front. Great fires
have been seen behind the German
lines and they are reported to be
burning their stores, because it is i'm
possible to transport it as the allies
now control all the railroad and have
the road under artillery air. 1t is now
expected that the allies will capture
many more prisoners. They have al
ready over 10000, but the German
loss in killed and wounded, from the
artillery fire coming from three di-
rections, day and night, must be
enormous. Their losses up to date
in this fight, are estimated at 200,-
900, which will be much more as the
battle win continue several days
longer.
American troops in the great battle
now raging, are fighting extremely
well, being spurred, on by finding
some Of their comrades, who had
been captured, hanging to trees. This
is another example of German Kul-
tur, but instead of soaring the Amer
leans, as the Germans thought it
would, it just makes them fight har-
der, and take fewer prisoners.
