Secession Movement
Croatia In Swing
By Associated Pressl

Zagreb, Croatia, Oct. 1.-The Sc
cession movement in Bosnia and
Croatia for separation from Jugo-
slavia is in full swing and events of
great Importance may develop any
moment, says the Gesztesy news
Bureau.
The Hravatska Liszti, published
here, has this to say:
"Our day will soon arrive. Our
patience is at an end. We cannot re-
main inactive any longer. Let some
one raise the standard of rebellion
and even the dead will arise in their
graves to fight for liberty"
Newspapers published in Raditch
openly affirm that the fight for the
freedom of Bosnia and Croatia is on
and that the goal will soon be reached
The Belgrade government has es-
tablished a severe censorship on all
news coming out of Bosnit and the
river traffic between Bosnia and Ser
tia is interrupted. The Second reg
imept of infantry, composed for the
greater part of Croatiansi has been
replaced as a garrison at Zagreb by
a regiment of exclusively Serbian.
Some years there are not enough
freight cars to move the crops, and

Verdun, Oct. Foxes have multi
piled greatly in the valley of the
Meuse, and in several districts have
made their holes in the deserted
French and German trenches. The
soldiers perhaps, had little idea when
they nicknamed them "fox-holes"
that sometimes real foxes would in
habit them.

Washington, March i2.-When
Representative Scott was told OF the
bill introduced in the Tennessee Leg
islature, adding Hardeman and Fay
ette counties to the Eighth congress
sional district, he declared that he
was not at all surprised, as he had
anticipated such a partisan effort be-
ing made to "redemocratize" the dis
trict that has been lost to the Demo-
cratic party.

on the part of the Democrats to re-
claim the Eighth district" said Mr.
Scott. "for such a movement was DIS
cussed in the newspapers Immediate

carry out the provisions, if the Demo

AN IMPORTANT ANNIVERSARY

Last Sunday, the 18th inst, was
the seventh anniversary OF the mem
orable cyclone which struck Lexing-
ton at 2:2O p. M, Thursday, March
18th, 1918. That cyclone was the on
ly real damaging storm Lexington
ever suffered before or since, in it's
history since the town was establish
ed in 1922. The cyclone in 1913 re-
suited in the death of two people, q
colored woman on the West side OF
town and white child at the jim
Henry place on the North side. The
property damage was never fully es-
timated but we remember the fact
that several citizens were deprived OF
their home and one of them, Mr..
Greene Threadgill, almost lost his
life, that being his second experience
of the kind in storm. Eight years
have elapsed since the day of that cy-
clone but Lexington yet has many
people, men and women, who mortal
| ly dread a cloud of angry appearance
and some fthem are yet regular
visitors to storm houses constructed
Immediately after the cyclone which
put the fear of storms into their
hearts.

is run, in addition to the manager,
the plant can put out $50 large cases

What are you going to do about
fertilizer for cotton? We say use it.
Make mixture of equal parts OF cot
ton seed meal and acid phosphate for
the thinner soils. 1t will cost you at
the present prices about $3.50 per
ton. or at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre, 1925 per acre. If you do this
use as much manure as you have in
the drill and when it gives out quit
planting cotton. During the past sew
eral years fertilizer has paid, Low
Yields mean higher costs per pound
and with lower priced cotton less
profit, or should we say, greater
loss per acre. The men who used fer
