The city is giving a discount o
8 per cent, off the taxes of the
rich who pay their taxes in this
month. Only lhe wealthy can
take advantage of the plan and
it is therefore an injustice to the
pool, thoie that need help, that
the legislature should remedy.
The buildings at the fair
grounds are being whitewashed
an put in order-for the coming
fair. Thx Watchman is hoping
the gentlemen interested in this
enterprise will give the peqple
who come here to see it no cause
for complaint and at the same
time will make a financial success
of it.
What is Demoraoy and the re
lations of the party so named
therewith, would be a very im
portant subject for disoussion.
Parties ought to be made subject
to the rules and regulations of the
pure food laws, particularly so as
to the label on the goods.
It is stated that John D. Brown,
senator Overman's executive
clerk, is to assist at the County
Democratic Headquarters during
the present campaign. We won
der if he does not draw a salary
from the government for other
servioes while so engaged.
Some Republicans are trying to
make capital out of the buy -a
Daie program, but we do not see
any reason why suoh efforts should
be detrimental to Democracy. It
is more than the Republicans did
for the farmer when cotton went
down to eight cents during the
McKinley administration.

That the battle between the Al

statement concerning the strong
forces of German cavalry previous

partment of Nord, nor was any
thing said of the situatioo of
Antwerp against which the Ger

agency dispatch said, however,
that the military governor of Ant
werp had reported to the burgo
master of Antwerp that a bom

General von Kluok. reinforced
with troops from the German Cen
tral continues to make a deter
mined stand against the attempt
of the allies to outflank him.
lhe French, who yesterday
officially reported that all Ger
many attacks in this region have
been repulsed and that the allies
had resumed the offensive, an
nounced today that the battle to
the north of the Oise whioh com
menced seriously about Septem
ber 25 continues with great vio
lence with no decisive result and
tLat at certain points the French
troops have had to yield ground.

Along the rest of the line the

the progress in the region of Sois-

the movement or they have-been
checked by the Germans. Of the
fighting here as on their right.
the Germans reports say it is pro

arms. -Progress by either side
mast be extremely slow, for after
every advance, no matter how
light, the troops making it must
entrench themselves for nmto

"Hard Wear in Every Pair"
It is made of soft, pliable chrome tanned waterproof leather, the finest
and most durable of all leather for heavy wear. "
It has two full soles. These soles are made of overweight steer hide
the toughest leather made and are secured by Puritan stitch and two
rows of standard screws.
It has a heavy, full gussett (see illustration) that will not permit dirt
to get in through the lacing. The pull strap is leather, sewed with
waxed flax thread, double stitch saddle seam and the counter is sewed
in in fact every part of this shoe is built to stand hard wear. Comes
in either plain toe or tip and in black or tan leather.

having permitted their adversaries
as they thought, to exhaust them
selves by continued attacks today
took a most vigorous offensive.
The British and French encount
ered suoh a strong resistance how
ever, that their most advanced
aetaenments on the western wing
were compelled to fall back.
Only at this part of the long bat
tie line did the opposing troops
actually oome into clcse contact
Many picturesque villages,
around wbioh hundreds of thous
ands of men oooupy 9 positions
have suffered severely in the re
cent fighting and probably wil
suffer still more before the sting
gleisover.
The oountry where the cheif
fighting is going on is flit and un
der cultivation. In mauy placet
it is boggy and there are scatter
ed coal mines. The allied armies
are extending oontinualiy toward
the north and bending eastward
toward the Belgian frontier, thus
compelling the Germans, in order
to prevent the crumbling up their
main army, to move larg forces
from the center and so keep pace
with the allies, whose position
menaces the invaders along the
whole line. The allies plan it is
thought may compel the Germane
to release the pressure of the Bel
gians.
. lhe rapidity with whioh the
French change position is consid
ered remarkable. Two entire
divisions of infantry marched 80
miles Saturday and 28 milts San-
day. The Germans, however, bv
means of their aviators who ar
flitting continually over the lines
despite numerous casualties, die
oovered the movements and
brought up reinforcements to
meet them. As the Germans oc
cupy the inside of the circle, they
are able to reaoh an appointed
spot with much shorter march s
