Thompson, who subscribed $500 ach. Suit has been brought against one of them, Mr. L. T. Townsend, to test the matter. . '.

SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS GalHpoli Peninsnlar Completely Evac- uated by British and French Brit- ; ish Battleship Sunk by Mine With. - out Low of Life . .. . : The ' complete (evacuation of the Gallipoli Peninsula by the British and French forces, the withdrawal of the French troops from the summit of Hirzstein, south of Hartmans-Weu-erkopf, in the Vosges mountaiins, and the sinking of the British battleship King Edward VII, after it had come in contact with a mine, are the out standing features in the war news. A British soldier wounded was the only casualty suffered in leaving the Gallipoli Peninsula and the British and French were able to remove all their guns, except 17 old ones which yvere destroyed. . There also was no loss of life in the sinking of the King Edward VII, and only two men aboard the pre- dreadnaught were wounded-- In the Ilierzstein, Berlin says, many officers, 1,083 chasseurs and 15 guns were taken. Paris, in admitting the evacuation, says it was due to the capture by the Germans of a hill to the north of Hierzstein. On the western front little activity has been shown by either 6ide, ex cept in the usual bombarding and mining operations. Comparative calm prevails in the Austro-Italian theatre. Considerable fighting is still going on at Czartorvsk. on the the Russian front, where the Teutons have twice! been repulsed wjjUi . considerable loss in attempting to capture that town from the Russians. k Petrograd' reports that the Aus-tro-Hungarians have been driven from the eastern bank of the middle Stripa river in east Galicla. Nothing new has come through with regard to the operations of the Austrians. against the Montenegrins, except that an Austrian fleet has violently bombard ed the Montenegrin positions in Mount Lovcen, near the Adriatic coasj;.' An attack by the Teutonic Allies against Entente Allies in Greece has not yet materialized..

BRIGHT TOBACCO IN DEMAND lYospects Good for High Prices On 'Bright Tobacco, r Says Experienced Tobacco Man "I have never seen projects brighter for high prices on . bright tobacco than they are for thu year", said M.T, J. D. Kyle of Fairmont Saturday .when interviewed by rep resentative of The Robesonian as to the tobacco outlook for 1916. Mr. Kyle continued, "There is a birght tobacco famine at this time. This is the kind of tobacco Robeson raised up to a few years ago. We have not grown a good bright crp in about 4 years. The embargo has-been raised on tobacco so that it can now be shipped to all parts of the world. The crop in Virginia will be cut from 40 to 50 per cent this year. If to. bacco growers of Robeson will use proper care in working their crop they cannot go wrong in putting out a big crop "of tobacco toll-year. " " " When asked what about the fertil izers that were being offeerd this year Mr. Kyle remarked, "the farm ers of Robeson used to make good tobacco with 8-2-2 and not so much of it." Mr. Kyle has been in the tobacco business at Fairmont for a number of years and is considered by the farmers generally to be good author ity on tobacco, therefore the above remarks by him are encouraging. It seems to be the general opinion that the best thing for the farmers to do this year is to try and raise better tobacco and, not more of it. " Farmer Murdered Near Goldsboro Anderson T. Gurley, a farmer and land-owner of Wayne county, was murdered and. robbed on the public highway near Goldsboro Thursday afternoon and his body was dragged quite a distance and thrown into the river.

John Richard, a negro, was arrest ed Saturday and charged with " the murder and is, said to have made a "Confession to newspaper men and prison officials, placing the crime at the oor of Isham Smith and Ben Coley, negroes. Richard is reported to have said that he shot a fellow several days ago at a factory and while he was hiding to keep from being arrested Isham Smith and Ben Coley came up with him and told him they were on their way to hold up a rich man who had sold cotton in Goldsboro and Turould cross the riv er Cn-thVway heme and for Richard to come with them. .. When Mr. Gur ley drove tip, according to JRichard's confession, Ben Coley walked ahead of the team and at - a - - convenient place in the road stopped the team while Isham' Smith jumped into the wagon and knocked Mr. Gurley sense less with a piece of iron before he ha dtime to rise from his seat, and killed him with a second blow. Af ter robbing the body they threw it into the river. Isham Smith was arrested later but at last ac count Coley had not been arrested.
