GENERAL CARRANZA
MAY DISRUPT PLANS
Not Disposed to Grant Formal
Amnesty in Advance of As
suming Power.
Washington, July 26. Advices
that General Carranza is not dis
posed to grant a formal amnesty
in advance of his actual assump
tion of power reached Washington
today from constitutionalist head-
quarters. This, if insisted upon,
may disrupt proposed peace con
ferences in Mexico at their begin
ning. Provisional President Carbajal
however, John R. Silliman, per
sonal representative of President
Wilson with Carranza, has report
ed his doubts on the subject.
Carranza has told Silliman. that
amnesty was an act of generosity
not a condition of surrender- He
insists that Carbajal 's surrender be
unconditional.
There still is hope that a mid
dle ground will be reached in the
coming peace conferences by which

Engagement at East Belgrade
Vienna, July 27. Reports have
been received here that an engage
ment is in progress near the
mouth of the Themes river at
East Belgrade.
Stock Market In State of Panic.
London, July 27. All the Eu
ropean stock markets are in a
state of panic.
Jhe Dark; War Cloud.
London, July 26. The darkest
war cloud which has appeared on
the Eupropean horizon since Ger
many sent war ships to Agadir in
1911 has arisen. The Servian
government has refused to comply
with Austria's demands, the most
humiliating ever asked of an in
dependent nation for the expia
tion of the Serayevo murders for
which Austria holds anti-Austrian
conspiracies in Servia responsible
and for guarantees of future be
havior. The vital question to Europe is
whether Russia will come to the
rescue of Servia, involving the
other powers and making of the
war a struggle Slav against Teu
ton for European supremacy.
Reports from St. Petersburg
say that the Russiaa army ismob
elizirig. Austria and Servia are
both mobelizing but the silence of
all the dispatches on the subject
of military preparations indicates
clearly that an iron clad cenorship
has been established in both coun
tries. The Servians have decided not
to attempt to defend Belgrade,
the garrison having already been
withdrawn according to Vienna
reports and the seat of the gov
ernment removed from Belgrade
to Kraguyeyatz, a strong stragetic
point 60 miles f o the south.
Servia 's refusal to humilifite it
self to the extent its big neighbor
has dictated was not unexpected.
The Surbs have been proud since
their success in the late Balkan
war and the government which
yielded to such demands as Aus
tria's could not last; even the dy
nasty would be imperilled. Ser
via 's little ally, Montenegro,
i seems determined to cast its Tot
with "its-cousin "in -war, , v ;
Servian partisans abroad ad
vance the theory that Austria has
made up her mind to dispose of
her neighbor which has long been
a thorn in her side and has chosen
to strike a decisive blow at a mo
ment when the nations of the tri
ple entente are handicapped by
home troubles Russia with a
great strike, France with a politi
cal upheavel and Great Britain
with a threatened civil war in
Ulster.

Republican convention for Person
County met in the court house.

Loch Lily a Popular Resort.
Loch Lily, the beautiful lake
about five miles out from town,
continues to be the most popular
resort in this section. The club
house is rarely ever empty for as
soon as one party leaves another
moves in. No more delightful
place can be found than the Lake

party who has the opportunity to
spend a week or ten days there.

leaves to mourn her death an aged

one son besides a host of friends.
Her husband, Mr. Chas. R. Pay
lor, had perceded her several years.
To the bereaved family I extend
heartfelt sympathy in this their
sad hour.
Perhaps the greatest blessing
of the year to this community
came Sunday afternoon in the
form of a good shower. At no sea
son of the year had crops shown
more plainly the ill effects of the
extremely dry and hot weather
we have experienced during the
summer.
Mr. and Mrs. John G. Jones,
of Louisville, Ky., are spending
several days on the Hill with 'Mr

CONGRESSMEN HOT AND
ARE ANXIOUS TO QUIT
THE CAPITAL
They Are Likewise Hearing
From Their Constituents.
Washington,- July 26. Mem
bers of Congress are hearing from
their constituents, urging them to
get through with their legislative
business as soon as possible ! and
come home to look after their po
litical fences. This applies to more
than 30 of the senators as well .as
to t)i,C representatives, for this
fall comes the first general election
for United States senators under
the seventeenth constitutional
amendment.
Many Republican senators have
signified Jieir intention not to de
lay trust legislation, most of them
explaining publicly that Congress
is tired and that statesmen are not
inclined to do their best work.
"AYe need a rest," is the declara
tion of the Republicans; likewise
it is the slogan of some of the
Democrats. It is an open secret,
however, that behind the desire
for rest, is a desire on the part of
Republican senators as well as the
Democrats, to doff the toga for
campaign to Congress.
There will be little rest ahead
even when Congress does adjourn
for the folks back home already
are calling for help in the political
battles that are coming.
Such Republican leaders as Sen
ators Smoot, Gallinger and Cum-
fflins, all of them vitally interested
;legislationr are also inter- g
iirtlfeir own-cainpato$. Pop- .
J ular election of senators
is a new
thing for them and they believe
that it will be well to get on the
home ground early. Hence they
intend to prevent filibustering
against trust legislation, and Re
publicans generally believe, that
the debate will be a straightfor
ward one from now until the three
bills are passed,
Notice!
Mr. Rosenberger, representing
Schloss Bros. & Co., will be
with us on July 30, 31 and Aug.
1 with his complete line of Fall

ally invite you to come and look

intend buying or not. Woody,
