antagonism rooted in mutual jeal-
ousy and in the contempt Of Horthy,
of aristocratic birth and breeding,
for the plebeian upstart Friedrich.
At bottom of this personal an
tagonism, however, is the political
fact that though both men are work
ing for the return of the Hapsburgs,
Horthy is the agent Of the deposed
King Charles ", now exiled to
Switzerland, while Friedrich leads
the rival faction of the Archduke
Joseph, who also aspires to the
Magyar crown. Lately the balance
has turned strongly in favor of Ad
miral Horthy, who was appointed
regent by the fake National Assem-
bly,, elected by fraud and terrorism.
1t is more than probable that Coun-
tess Almassy is being used as lever
by the Horthy interests to dislodge
Friedrich from power This, how
ever, would not infringe on the in
trinsic strength of her case against
the adventurer.
His Rise to Power
The world outside Hungary first
took notice of Stephen Friedrich
when he, on August 7, 1919, stepped
to the front of Magyar affairs as the
Premier appointed by the oreday
dictator, Archduke Joseph. This
happened after the Moderate Social
Democratic government of julius
Peidl, raised to power by the anti
Bolshevist trade uniorists of Buda-
pest, was overthrown by q coup Of
the "White" officers, aided and
abetted by the Rumanian army.
The whole character Of Friedrich
is summed up in the manncr--re-
corded by the correspondent Of
"The Manchester Guardian" - in
which he proclaimed his accession.
There was a large number of depu-
tations from the country in the
courtyard of the royal castle wait
ing for something to happen and
amusing themselves meanwhile by
cudgeling some Jewish passersby.
To these dcputations Friedrich sud
denly announced that he was ap-
pointed Premier and that he had re-
ceived the sanction of the Entente
representatives.
Now, recognition by the Entente
seemed to the Magyars the magic
key to better future, and Friedrich
carried the day. In vain the En-
tente missions afterward protested
that they had never recognized him;
he rode into possession on the back
Of the lie and deficd the world.
The Rumanian Invasion
The relation between Friedrich
and the Rumanian command was a
curious one. The last doubt that
the Rumanian invasion was not only
invited but actively assisted by the
Magyar whites" has been dispelled
by the boasts Of the latter. Admiral
Horthy himself declared. before
Budapest ncwspapermen, that Mag
var staff officers had sent thousands
OF Magyar soldiers into the gaping
of Rumanian. cannon. On the
other hand, without the aid of the
Rumanian troops of occupation
Friedrich could never have succeed
ID to power. But. oucs safe in the

This strange accident, coupled with
ill-concealed efforts on the part of

y center round the production
--" of the worlds largest Bible.


~ of the worlds largest Bible.
Months of work have already
been expended upon it, Many weeks
more will be needed for it's COM
pletion. Already, however, the frame
Of the great book is in being. Six
stout hempen ropes, much thicker
than the ordinary clothesline, form
its backbone. Four of these are
laced into millboards half an inch
thick as foundation for the leather
covering. The back of the book is
sewn with twine round the six stout
hempen ropes in the old-fashioned
way. In every sense the biggest
Bible is intended to be the finest
example of bookmaking that Eng
land can produce.
But why produce the biggest
Bible? The answer to this question
is given by the "Bible Crusade" as
follows:
THE Great Bible is intended to
rivet public attention on the primary
importance of the Bible as the foun-
tain and source of ALL TRUTH.
AS this unique volume is magnifed
N size above all other volumes, so
the grandeur of the Bible ought to
be magnified in value above that of
all other books, not merely because
CT its literary, its poetical, its his
torical, its archaeological or it's
moral beauties, which are confessed
~ superior to all others, but because
it is the one and only revelation
from God and of God to mankind.
Its Size Il Symbol
Having seen the Great Bible,
no one will ever forget it. Some
will approve it and some may not,
but all will have had their attention
drawn to the purpose of its con-
struction. Having seen these words
indicating this purpose, God grant
that no one shall ever forget them,
and that each may honor this writ
ten Word as God requires that they
should, and that each may unite
with the Bible Crusade in impress
ing that sacred duty and inestma-
bic privilege upon all mankind.
Then and then alone will the pur-
pose for which this great manu-
script Bible has been prepared be
accomplished"
A feature of the Great Bible is
that it will be written entirely by
hand. Not more than three verses
Of the text will be written by the
same person. Kings and field mar
shals will, side by side with pau
pers and workmen, testify their be-
lief IN the Holy Scriptures. At the

Proof of the Plot

The biggest mine was sprung,
however, when Condor published in
his paper an interview with the Rev.
John Hook, another exile in Vienna,
a Catholic priest, oidtime leader Of
the independence party and after
the revolution of October, 1918,
president Of the Hungarian Ma
tional Council The priest-states-
man not only substantiated the
above accusations, but added that
on the eve of the revolution and Of
Tisza's death Friedrich gave civil
ian clothes and revolvers to adher-
ents of the Officers Council, among
them man, Horvat- Sanov!cs, az
the time Of writing Imprisoned IN
Budapest as one of the actual muF-
derers of Tisza Thus. the Rev. Mr..
Hook concluded, it is quite prob
able that Tisza was killed with
shot from a gun donated for the
purpose by Friedrich.
Hooks testimony completed the
moral case against the War Minis
ter. The memorandum Of the
Countess Almassy, demanding Fried
rlch's indictment, embodies practi-
cally the material unearthed By the
organ of the Viennese refugees.

Refused To Be Silenced

Needless to say, these imputa-
tions were Indignantly denied by
his excellency the Minister of War,
and his protests were backed by his
colleagues in the Cabinet, as we'll as
by the subservient press. But there
was one man, at least, who refused
to be silenced. That man was
Francis Condor, in his Vienna exile
editor Of the Social Democratic
weekly "Az Ember" ("The Man").
Condor, Socialist journalist of
high standing and onetime asso-
ciate editor of the Budapest "Neps-
zava," had to flee Hungary as an
opponent of extremist methods dur
ing the "Red" terror. He now was
devoting himself and his paper to

The Bible and the War

Now, the word of God has a
very clear and distinct message for
US. The astonishing fact is that so
few have seen the extent of the re-
making of the maps as it is re-
vealed in the Bible. For instance,
there are those who teach that the
revived estate Of the old Roman En-
plre, which they rightly look for,
must exactly coincide with the ter
ritory covered by Rome when at the
zenith of her power.

Appointed Himself

3-Friedrich was nominated BY
the Officers Council of Eleven to
be Minister of War after the sue
cess of the revolution. Tie nom-
nation was ignored by the National
Council, as we'll as later by the
Karolyi government Nevertheless,
shortly after the triumph of the rev.
olution, Friedrich appeared in the
War Department and, finding the
post of minister filled by Colonel
Linder, simply appointed himself
Under Secretary, and kept the job
through sheer impudence.
4-On the eve of the revolution
Friedrich paid out large sums to
men employed for unknown pur.
poses by the Officers Council Of
Eleven. A few days after the revo.
luton Friedrich paid out 10000
crowns (of state money! to two
sailors and one private soldier who
called on him at the War Depart
ment and deported themselves in a
conspicuously menacing manner.
5-The man who was seen by the
witness for the state, Lieutenant
Huttner, around the house of Count
Tisza on the day of the murder was
not Paul Kerr, the editor, but

SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUM-

Solomon declared that there was
nothing new under the sun. That may
have beea.true in Snloasen's day bvt
something new is going to occur in
Lexington. The services at the
Methodist Church, South, will be con-
Quoted next Sunday without the help
of minister, Layman's day will be
observed, and laymen will have COM
plete charge of the services. Several
visiting laymen will be present from
from Jackson. These men belong to
an organization known as the Lay
mans Gospel League The organiza-
tion began shortly after the CONVEX
sion of the now famous George Tuck
er, the Railroad Evangelist, and he
was one of the charter members. He
little thought that he would ever be
an ordained minister, but he did want
to tell men the story of Christ and
His power to save man from sin.
The members of the Gospel League
are all business men, some are mer-
chants, some railroad men, some
farmers, and some travelling men.
They hold services twice each week
and endeavor to hold them where peo-
pile do not go to church. During the
past year they have had more con-
versions in their meetings than all the
churches combined. They work with
the church, and when a laymans
service is wanted they gladly volun-
teer their assistance.
Sunday will be known as "The Rail-
road Mans Day" at our church, and
the messages will be brought by lay
men The morning service will be at
eleven o'clock, a great mass meeting
of all the men in town at four o'clock,
and the evening service at seven
thirt. We especially invite every rail-
road man, regardless of denomination
to the service. George Tucker car
ries a railroad card, and is the only
evangelist in the country carrying
such. He is known as the railroad
mans man. The men who will con-
duct the services are the men who
held him up when he started, and who
are still for the railroad men.

President Wilson has appointed a
woman, Miss Mabel Boardman, to

of Congressman T. W. Sims, as one of
the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia. Brownlow had the good
luck to get out of the position and Sc
cure the much better one of manager
of the city of Petersburg, Va. 1t is
rather novel movement to appoint a
woman to such position, requiring
the most intimate knowledge of the
workings of great city of nearly a
half million population-but the
president is right about it. Since
women are going into business and
politics, they should run for and be
appointed to each and every office
from President to constable-the men

when he was informed by Howell
that not dollar would be added to

EPH GOODMAN KILLED A
IN DECATUR COUNTY.

Wednesday morning about N0e
o'clock, at a point some three aI<|eG
below Perryville and hefmeen slx j i
seven miles from Parsons, Eph Good
man, the younger of three brothers,
was killed by party of revenue men
and prohibition agents and the other
two brothers, Tom and Lewis Good
man, were captured and brought to
Lexington by the officers. A large
distilling outfit, which, we are told
had the appearance of having been in
operation for some time, was taken.
The officers could, of course, make
no statement except that Goodman
was killed while the revenue men
were in the performance Of
their duty-hence, we are able to give
no particulars. IN
Tom and Lewis Goodman were car
ried before Commissioner P. o. Rob-
erts, who fixed the bond of each at
1000 for appearance before him here,
for preliminary hearing on Wednes-
day of next week. The Goodmans
were in custody of the Sheriff and
given until four o'clock to make their
bonds-which they did. The tragedy
is deplorable one and its repetition
can only be prevented by men re.
