Tht! Kellector lleporter has beon so frequently asked in hia rounds if May or Janies will be a candidate for re- election that the Keflector asked the Mayor the direct question with a view of giving hia reply to the public, and here is what Mr. James said. “I appreciate this courtesy of the lietU'ctor and gladly avail mysell' of (be opportunity to give the information you seek. I have been asked the xame qustion by a large number of the l>eople of Greenville but up to this time I have given no final answer, for the reason I have been giving the matter serious coasideration. I am now prepared to say that i have concluded not to be a candidate for reelection. In making this announcement I beg >^l£o to use the opportunity to thank the people of OreenTllle for the honor Utey have conlerred upon me and the Bopport they have given me in the dis charge of my duties. I am not how ever, insensible to the fact that there has been some criticism. Some have complained because I enforced cer tain laws. I found the laws on the iitatute Books of the State and the Ordinances of the Town. There was nothing for me to do but enforce !hem. I do not believe a public officer has the right to say he will enforce one law and ignore another. That |K)llcy would make the public oUicer a locator. The only safe rule is to enforce all law and that is what I have tried to do. I am also aware of the fact that ever>thing needod in every section the Town has not been done. In a growing town like Greenville it is not possible to do all things needed at once without imposing grievous burdens upon tlu tax payers of the Town. lUit I can truly say that I have i-ooporatt-i) with ihe Board of Aldermen in doing all that could be doiu* with the means at our command, preiVrriiic those things whiih seemed to be of tlu' iiiost pressing need for the public good, and I believe when an iiiip>'ati:il tuvi'ntoiy is taken of wUiit has been ai oni]'lish< il in the last two years it will lu' seen that nuuh has been doiif in the way of improve- iii-n! aiiil proKi' s 1 U(‘lil i! t'> I".’ I'"' ‘1"'V I’l' every rUiZ' II ii> iiriinre itiM tlie v>ay Ihe :il:air of li:~ 'I vu is niunageil and wlun Ui' rmii-- i:ni! to say m> op>"'Jy and : b> .t 1 A waUeluI wati'hful pt‘opU^ '.‘.ill ' s^i'ed ^itvcnnm'iit.

I can therefore truthfully say 1 prefer to be rele.ised from the duties of the oHioe.

Their First Attack ias HadB in Broad Open Dayligkt SEV[IMl m SUFFER Tbat Lay Within Thirt> .Miles of the BrltlHb ('apltal . Frencb Airmen Soon Retaliate London Pre paring For Attacks. This is thethird German aeriiil at tack on the eastern counties of Eng land in the last thirty-six hours. The tv^'o previous attacks were made at night by Zeppelins. French Airmen Retaliate. Aerial onslaughts, however, have not been limited to the Germans. French official reports claim a sucess- ful air bombardment of the German imperial headquarters in retaliation for a Zeppelin assault on -Nancy. A German report says K'rench air men dropped bombs on several Ger man towns unprotected by anti-i raft guns. Damag-c ut eknt. .>’egiigil)le. The damage done by the German aeroplanes in Kent has been negligible so far as is shown up to the present time. Two bombs were dropped on Faversham, but no damage resulted. It has not been determined conclu sively whether one or two at»roplanes tcK>k part in the raid in Kent. A des patch from Canterbury spoke of two aircraft, but this has not been sub stantiated from any other point. A German machine, of the biplane type, flew also over Sheerness. There an anti-aircraft gun fired on it, and the machine was seen suddenly to dip. Spectators thought It had been winged, and cheered wildly, but it recovered and ascended. Then it traveled rap idly across the Isle of Sheppy at the mouth of Thames and escaped to the open sea. Apparently no bombs were dropped on Sheernes. British aeroplanes are said lo have gone in pursuit of the machine which appeared over Sittingbourne, but no iep<irt from them has yef been given out. Aim Of Defenders I’oor. The aeroplane, which dropped bombs on Faversham was shot at by local marksmen, but their aim apparently was poor. Flying over Sittingbourne the airman droppi*d another bomb, but it only dug a hole in an orchard. Another bomb fell into a chalk quariy. The German machine then started for tln' sea by way of cDal. from which direction it had appeared. Although fears had been expressed for the safety of t'unterbury cathed- lal it now has been learned tluu ilic German raider droppi'd no l/O!:.^ while over that city. I.iiikIoii Nil I . iiuer liiinitiiie. l.^indoti no lolig.T considers it.‘'.ell ili’.inuni' from air raiders. Zeppelins on tlieir recein iiii.lif raids, have tiav- elb'd I'urther irom their I’uxhaven I ase than the distani e troiu t’nx- liaven to l..ondon. and aeroplane.s thirty miles irom the capital and choosing their own courne have brouijht a new <onception of Ihe ef- tcdive range of this type of machine. .Nevertheless, the public is skyptical of the powers tor harm of eZppelins, the trifling damage done during the night raids of Wednesday and ’I’hur.s- (lay being cited. It would apear ihaf the lale^>t air raiders have used botjd)s of an incendiary rather than an e.\- ploBive character. French I'lalm Brilliant Success. In alnd operations the French claim a "brilliant” succesH north of Arras, which completes the gain mado near there last month. The German osi- tion acording to the Paris report, was taken by the bayonet. On the heights of the Meuse the Germans evidently are beginning a movement to retake I><'s Kpargi's, Ber lin claims to have repulsed all the French attacks and make St. Mihiel untenable. On the eastern front neither side seems to be making any headway. London Preparinu For Attack I’ronounced activity at the German airship bases at Kmden and Cuxhaven today is reported in telegrams froui Holland. An urgent call was issued in London this afternoon for special po lice to go on duty at 5 p. m, Zeppelins were seen today Hying vvest- Reports from Holland say three ward over Dutch islands in thi; North Sea Count Zeppelin is said to be directing the movenn-nts at ( uxhaven. ZeppeliuN >'ear London. ’I’wo Zeppelins raided the cuuii- ’ies of Suffolk and ICssex early today dropping bombs within thirty-six miles of London. A largo number of bombs were dropped on town and villages, but no loss of life resultixl. Attacks were made within a tew minutes of each other at points sev enty mile-s apart. The first was at Malden at 12:20 a. m. by a Zeppelin, which previously passed over Burnham, nnd South Minster. After dropping bombs at Malden the airship turned north and let fall more explosive at Heybrldge. It may have been liie same craft seen at one o’clock flying over Harwich in the direction of Ipo- wlch. second attack was made between 12:30 and 12:45 n. ni. on Southwold ten. miles south of Lowestoft on the North Sea.

I’ainters, lathers, plasterers and sheet metal workers found themselveh in similar circumstances, and enough allied trades were affected to bring the total of idle men beyond 75,000. The carpenters struck at 4:30 p. m. yesterday and at midnight a lockout order went into effect. Today men who wished to bolt the strike order and continue at work were told to carry their grievances to the union officials. When work ceased on approximately 4,000 of the 4,r)00 unfinished structures in the city the <ontractors laid off all hands except a few men retained to clean up odd jobs. Watchmen weri employed.
