To Commissioner "Woods, Holt told briefly how he planned to hold as hostage Mrs. Morgan and the Morgan children while he sent Mr. Morgan out to stop the exportation of munitions of war. "My plan," said Holt, "was to get hold of Mrs. Morgan and the children and take them Into an upstairs room and then send Mr. Morgan out to Bee his Influential friends to stop tht ex portation of ammunitions from this country. "I planned to take the dynamite In the room with me and cut a hole In the door and have the food shoved I through it. I planned to keep them there until Mr. Morgan returned and gave me his promise that the exporta tion of war munitions would stop. Unless he stopped it, I would tell him of my intention to kill Mrs. Morgan and the children and myself by ex ploding the dynamite. ' Mr. Morgan, the victim of the bul lets which Holt fired, continued to show Improvement today. The only bulletin issued was reassuring. It said the bullet did not enter the ab domen and that an x-ray examina tion showed that no bones had been damaged.

UO.VAD FOUNDED ON THE NOTE THE GALAX HAYWDDD COUNTY FI 10 BE HELD OCTOBER 5- Large Preparations Are Beiaj Made for the Eleventh Annual Event The eleventh armnal Haywood County fair will be held on October 8, 8, 7 and 8, 1915, says the Canton Ob server. Every indication points to the holding of the most successful exhibi tion in the history of the county and the management Is neglecting no op portunity to secure the best attractions and most, complete exhibits. There will be no fair held In Ashe ville this season, and as a result thre will doubtless be iarger crowds In AVaynesvilla than have ever attended before. Exhibitors from Buncombe county will probably be more numer ous at the Haywood county fair hivv heretofore. Money which was spent for races last year will be used by the manage ment to Increase the amount of premi ums and In securing other high grade attractions. Tho purpose of the or ganization, which is to encourage farmers and stockralsers, will. In this way, be carried out. At the same time, the attractions this year will be better than ever before, because last year's successful fair gave Haywood county a good reputation among show people and will result In securing the biggest attractions that are on the road. A new method will be inaugurated by the directors during this season to Increase local interest In the exhibits and attendance. Community commit tees will be appointed to encourage people of all parts of the county In making exhibits .of their products. The individual exhibitor will be catered to more than ever this year. The farmer who has a peck of fine corn, and the woman who can bake a good pie, will receive as much enoour agement as the big exhibitors who have given this county such excellent advertising. The large farm exhibits which have often carried off first hon. ore at Raleigh, KnoxvUle and else where, have doubtless brought many settlers to Haywood. However, It Is the purpose of the directors that this year's fair shall be for all the people. Phone Tour Wants to 203. CELEBRATED NOVEL BY HENRY SIENKIEWICZ.

The remainder Is being manufactured. The Morgan firm's commissions for placing the contracts were sold to be on a sliding scale, which began at two per cent and docreasod in proportion to the magnitude of the contracts. It was explained that of the total of $460,000,000 worth of war supplies contractod for by the Morgan firm only a small proportion had been paid, although advances have been mad ii to some firms. This explanation was given to cor rect the Impression that the large pur chases of war supplies had been re sponsible for the fall in foreign ex change.
