ROSS MATHIS REPORTED
 NORMALLY WOUNDED,
 IS GERMAN PRISONER.

There was general rejoicing in our city this morning when the announce ment came that Lieutenant Ross Ma this of Cotton Plant was alive and we hope, well. Instead of being mor- tally wounded as was reported by the government a few weeks ago, he had been taken a prisoner by Germa- nv, and with 38 other Americans, are being held in Germany as prisoners of war. To be a prisoner of Germany is bad enough, but it is better than death, and quite a relief to the fam iIy. as they believed him dead. Lieu tenant Mathis married Miss Mabel Lynch of Cotton Plant, a sister ot Mrs. Charles Hipolite of our city, who has hosts of friends here that will rejoice with her in the news that her husband is alive.

TERROR RESULTS
 FROM EXPULSION
More Than 100 Persons Are Dead And Dozen Towns Shattered As
 Shell Plant Explosions.
(By The Associated Press.>

New York, Oct. 5.-After more than eighteen hours of terror a dozen towns in Northern New Jersey are in a shattered condition this after noon in consequence of series of explosions at the shell-making plant of T. A. Gillespie & Co.,, at Morgan, which shook the terrain within ra- dius of fifty miles. Fires which fol lowed in the wake of the explosion, the cause of which is yet undeter- mined, prevented the firemen from approaching within two miles of the plant. Today two other munitions plants in the same vicinity are threatened. Loss of life is believed to have been heavy Unofficial esti- mates place the number of dead at 137, but there are still upwards of 1900 workers in the plant unaccount- ed for.

LIBERTY JOAN |s
 MAKING HEADWAY Town And County Responding To the Fourth Liberty Loan Literally
 Algoa Goes Over The Top.

Jackson county, from one end to the other is responding to the Fourth Liberty Loan in manner that leaves no misgivings as to it's universal spirit of patriotism. The county has raised so far in voluntary subscrip- tions total of approximately $242,- 900. Of this total the town of New port and Union township has con- tributed about 1000, and the out lying districts the same.
 Algoa, is one of the out-of- town points that we must take our hats off to. Her quota was $2,000, but she comes forward with volunteer sub- scriptions totaling $2700. This is a record that any community could be proud of, and no doubt Algoa is.
 The employees of the railroads who make their homes in the town, and county, or who had headquar- ters here, deserve special mention all so, for they have responded in a 100 per cent spirit of patriotism, the to- tai of their volunteer subscriptions to date being $23,000 approximately.

 French and American troops smashing into German positions in the Champagne have forced the enc my to withdraw from valuable ground in the hill country near the Suippe river. East and west of Ar gonne there has been heavy fighting to the advantage of the allies, while on the northern sectors hositilities apparently have quieted down for the moment.
 The French are attacking the Ger mans along the Aisne canal with great vigor and already have crossed the canal. at several points. North of St. Quentin the British and French continue to vigorously pursue the enemy, and the German withdrawal movement west of Lille continues.
 Many villages behind the German lines are reported burning, and dis patches seem to show that the enemy is abandoning his submarine bases on the Belgium coast.

BUSINESS GOOD YESTERDAY

From the smiling contenances of the merchants and the many wagon loads of cotton seen on the streets of the city yesterday, Newort evidently did thriving business. And the merchants were not the only ones smiling: country people by the score could be seen upon the streets all day long wearing smiles closely resembling the proverbial one that would not wear off. Newport IS a good cotton market, it pays high prices for the southern staple, and the liberality of it's merchants, and the fairness of their dealings with the public, is proberbial.

Tribute of Eminent Chemist on C. 5.

The claims of G. s. Gross Specifc) of being the greatest blood kidney, pellagra and rheumatism medicine has been amply proyenby the testimonials of thousands of people who have been relieved of Pellagra, Rheumatism and other ailments. But it remained for the morning mail to bring to Dr. Gross the greatest testimonial to his medicine that has ever come to any proprietary medicine made in the country.
 It comes in the shape of an unsolic- tied and unexpected letter and certifi- cate from the eminent chemist, Dr. w. H. Morse, of Hartford, Conn. Hun dreds of physicians and doctors and thousands of cured people in this coun- try have given their endorsement to the splendid curative powers of c. g., but the letter and certificate from Dr. Morse, coming as they do without any sort of solicitation, brings the positive proof that this medicine is all that has ever been claimed for it.
