Murrell. < There is yet no full report of the i e? iui aujjt'ivjwi. ganoidateswinT up at this puce 1 The candidates for county offices wound up the campaign here last Saturday. All of the candidates were present, and the friends of some from nearly all sections of the county. The people began to arrive in town early for this, the last speaking of the county campaign. The speeches delivered by the candidates were the same in substance as those delivered at the other meetings around the county. Nothing of any unusual interest developed. The debate between Messrs. Buck and Stanley, by far the most interesting in the campaign, created the most interest. After Saturday's meeting everybody at once got interested in the approaching election which would would come off on Tuesday of this week. The tale of the results of the campaign is told elsewhere in these columns. RETAIL GROCERYMAN MAKES ASSIGNMENT Mr. J. J. Seale, who has been conducting a grocery store in Conway, found it impossible to meet the demands against him, and last week made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. A number of small accounts credited out in the business and which he could not collect from the parties owing him, appear ta be the main causa of his failure.

R. B. ( "Scarborough delivered an eloquent t md most telling speech in favor of \ j^Belection of Richard I. Manning } ^Pthe second term as Governor of i ;his State. He began his address by i saying that the issue in the Gover- ] lor's face was Manning or Blease. ; He brought forth the facts showing Jijs was so. He spoke for more than an hour. In the course of his address he paid a glowing tribute to Hon. Jeremiah Smith who presided over the meeting. He then praised the administration of Governor Manning in eloquent terms, and defended the course taken by the Governor in relation to the State hospital for the ' insane. He spoke here from actual knowledge gained as one of the regents of that institution, and he told of the great work that is being done there by Dr. Fred Williams, the new superintendent. He stated that Dr. Williams is a specialist who has no equal in the country. He said that Richard I. Manning is fearless and upright and stands for law and order and is no friend of the blind tigers, reviewed the charges made against Gov. Manning and answered them to the satisfaction of all present. That Governor Manning came nearer be i ? ?i nig a uve, reai governor or all the people than any man that had held the office in 20 years.

R. Allsbrook, one night the first of this week, lost his cotton gin and the building in which it was contained, by fire which it is said must have caught from a spark thrown out by the late train passing along the railroad tracks nearby. The engine and boiler which furnished the power to run the machinl ery was not destroyed as these were in a separate building far enough away to make them safe. The damage was about three thousand dollars, and it is not known here whether there was any insurance on the property or not. o G. VV.

Berlin, Aug. 20>.?The charge that the French have an organized force whose duty it is to exterminate alt the Germans found in captured trenches is made in a statement issued today by the Overseas News Agency, as follows: "The French some time ago introduced a new fighting system which is the most cowardly and flagrant violation of the laws of war developed up to this time. Coincident reports confirm the fact, not known until now, that within companies special detachments have been formed with express orders to remain behind in captured trenches and exterminate ail Germans yet alive. These troops are called "nettoyeurs" (cleaners or sweepers). Their equipment is not the rifle, cartridges and bayonet of other soldiers, but the revolver, knife and hand grenade. "When the French storming column succeeds in crossing a trench the nettoyeurs enter and start the work or cleaning me trenenes ot all the living. Hand grenades are thrown in the dugouts, where there are often wounded men. Those who escape from the hand grenades are killed by revolver and knife when they attempt to come out. This terrible slaughter is continued from man to man. Every man, whether wounded or not, whether armed or not, is mercilessly stabbed or shot." o A. T. Hucks visited rnnmnw m business last week. _*. N L. F. Shannon was here last week. Germany's sugar production this year will exceed that of 1915, according to statistics now available* bT about 300*000 tons.
