Whitmire and claimed his eldest son, Joel. The young man was in his seventeenth year and was loved by all who knew him. He was a mepiber of Cross Roads Baptist church, having joined about two years ago. Several members of this family have been sick recently and Joel had been suffering for several weeks. A sad incident at the fueral was the absence of the mother on account of ill ness. The funeral was preached and the bod v interred at Cedar Rock church, th-e services being con aucted by Rev. B. E. Grandy. The Sentinel joins the many friends in this county in extend ing to Mr. Whitmire and his family heartfelt sympathy in their sore bereavement. - Death of Mrs. JuliaC. Gassaway On October 14, the spirit of Mrs. Julia C. Gassaway took its flight to the world beyond. She had been a sufferer for many years, being confined to her bed most of the time. She was born March 1834, and had been a faithful member of Mt. Zion Methodist church al Central since childhood. Her Christian character was as beau tiful as peace, patience and long suffering could make. She told her pastor and others she was ready to go a long time before the end came. Her loved ones -knew where to find her. The heartfelt sympathies of the community go to her family and relatives.

Six Mile News Miss Brown, member of the faculty, is visiting homefolks in Asheville, N. C. for a few days. Among the dormitory students who visited home Friday were Messrs. J D. Vickery, Willie Murphree and Miss Irene Bold ing. We are sorry Miss Pearl Mur phree has been called to the bed side of her sick father, Mr. J. L. Murphree. We hope for him a sneedv recovery and for her a I speedy return to her school du ties. The academy here is doing a noble work along literary lines. We have two literary societies which, we believe, are as good as the county affords. The Walker literary society has as its president and secretary J. D. Vickery and Miss Pearl Mur phree; the Mitchell society has for its president and secretary Messrs. Jack Stansell and Earle Alewine, respectively. One of the most enjoyable events of school life was enjoyed by some of our students last week, when Profs. Garner and Mitchell and Miss Jones consent ed for them to take an outing to Table Rock, a famous resort about 19 miles north of Pickens. Those who enjoyed this occasion were Prof. and Mrs. S. E.

AUSTRIANS DEFEAT ARMY OF RUSSIA TAKE 15,000 SOLD.ERS IN EN GAGEMENT IN POLAND IS THE REPORT. BIG BATTLE IN PROGRESS Turks Meet Russians Near Beturn and Win Fight With Heavy Dam age to Enemy. The greatest activity of the warring factions still appears to be centered along the front in Russian Poland be tween the Vistula and Warthe Rivers, where the Germans are endeavoring to press back the Russians to War sa*. What the exact situation there is, however, has not been divulged. Both Berlin and Petrograd admit that violent fightidg- -continues. Berlin says there is no change in the situa tion while Petrograd declares the Rus sians have obtained "some partial suc cesses." In the contests farther south in Poland and in Galcia a similar. state of -afairs apparently exists. Vienna declares the Austrian troops have cap tured 15,000 prisoners in lower Po land and that an important battle is proceeding near Donales, Galicia, and in the Carpathians. It is claimed also that two Russian battalions surrendered northwest of Czenstochowa and that the Austriasn have resumed the offensive on the Cracow Przemysl line, Petrograd says that on the front of Czenstochowa lent of these was upon Ypres where the German guns knocked down the city hall and the market place. An official Paris report says the Allies demolished many lines of German trenches. Turkey, according to Berlin, has in flicted heavy losses on the Russians near Batum, Asiatic Russia. The Tur kish cruiser Hamidieh and torpedo boats bombarded Tuapse. The Ootto man forces on the Shat-el-Arab River declare they have defeated a British force and that a shot from a Turkish cruiser caused an explosion on a British gunboat. Vienna reports the Servians resist ing the Austrians in well-chosen po eitions near the Kelubara River which Craoi*r no iskitial changes have ta ken place but that in Galicia the Aus trains have evacuated Novy-Sandez. In the west there has been com parative quiet so far as infantry at tacks are concerned but heavy ar tillery duels continue. The most vio lent Austrians have crossed. Nish says the Servian retirement before the Austrians is "for strategic rea sons." Russia has mined the Russian lit toral of the Black Sea in many places six miles out from the coast A news agency dispatch from Hol land quotes fishermen as declaring that the German fleet is preparing for a decisive action in the North Sea Brtsh aviators have made a daring attempt to blow up the Zeppelin bal loon works at Friedrichshaten by dropping bombs. One Brritish aero plane was brought down by the Ger man guns and an aviator captured. A Petoria dispatch announces that the rebel general de Wet's force in South Africa again has been defeated. A German steamer has arrived' in Buenos Aires with the passengers and crew of a British steamer and the crew of a French ship It. is pos sible the German commerce destroy ing cruisers again have been active. S'lCRECY IS MAINTAINED. German Advance Apparently Pene trates Great Distance Into Poland London.-The veil of secrecy has been drawn over the battles between the Russians and the Austro-Germanf forces. Headquarters of both armies confine themselves to briefest state ments, saying merely that fighting continued. News from unofficial sources, how ever, shows the German advance has penetrated farther into Poland than previously disclosed. Warsaw is threatened for a second time- Gen eral von Hindeburg's army has ad vanced as far as the Lowicz-Skier niewice line. The battle in East Prussia seems to have died down but the Russians continue to advance in Galicia and still are fighting on the Czenstochowa Cracow front. The battle in Poland in the direc tion of Lowicz is the most critical one and the Germans have the greatest confidence in the outcome but Petro grad military observerS declare Rus sta's overwhelming superiority in numbers again must tell, as when the IGermans made their first attack on Warsaw. In Flanders and. in France the armies seem to be enjoying a long deserved rest. An eye-witness with British head quarters in a statement made public gives confirmation of heavy German loses at Ypres. He speaks of de cimated battallions, of hundreds of dead left before the trenches and of batches of bodies found mn farm houses. Casulty lists show that the British forces also have suffered. The Sei-ylans are makig a stand against the" Austrians in weRl-choseA fortified positions on the Kolubara River, but as the Austrians command superior forces it seems apparent that unless Baflan EStates come into the war Servia is f'acing defeat.

London.-Two big battles, both Of which may have decisive results, are raging in Poland, and a third of al most equal importance is progressing in East Prussia. Of the three battles that are now at its height between the Vistula and Warta rivers, and in which the Rus sians are claiming partial success, is exciting the most interest. Th'e Ger mans, it is believed, have brought up by their lines of strategic railways in Posen and Silesia at least hialf a miil lion men in an effort to break ,the Russian line here. * Weather condi :fons, the frozen- ground and the* sit .ation of the battlefield favor a battle decisive to a degree not equalled on mny other field in the present war. The other battle in Poland is taking place on the - Cracow-Czenstochowa front, and Russians and Germans each claim it is proceeding satisfactorily. In East Prussia the Russian advance Is moving slowly through the wild ,untry surrounding the Mazurian lakes. In Galicia the Russians are noving westward and at the same :ime are seizing the passes of the Car pathians. There now is almost a complete ab sence of infantry attacks in the west ern arena and the artillery fighting is much less violent. All that region about Dixmude through which the Yser canal passes Is inundated and the mnly serious fighting appears to be :aking place south of Yser, where :annonading is in progress..

As .far as we know thd Russians will continue to retire until the plan chos e by Grand Duke Nicholas for the fi effort is reached. Meanwhile the ns are engaged upon enormous m tary engineering works to defend Berlin, fifty miles east of the capital at Kustrin, where the Warthe flows into the Oder." Reports Contradictory h abscriptions to the war loan con ti 'e, and it was reported unofficially i that applications aggregate between three and three and one-half billion dollars. The loan calls for only $1, 750,000,000. Berlin declares that a concentric attack is being made on the Russian center, the German armies coming from the west and the north west, while Austria is sending a force north from the Cracow region. Petro grad, however, states that the offen sive in western Galicia, is still un i der way and that Cracow is believed to be invested on three sides, leaving only one line of rail communication. German Attacks Fail London.-The latest official commu nications regarding operations on the western battlefields are much the same as those of preceding days. There has been fighting virtually all along the front, but without apprecia ble change in the situation. From the coast of Flanders to the river Lys, on the Franco-Belgian bor der, much of which has been flooded by the allies to hinder German at tacks there has been a repetition on a somewhat smaller scale of the bom bardment which the invaders invaria bly resort to In the hope of breaking down the allies' resistance before the infantry attacks atnd in isolated spots attacks in force, but according to thle French and British reports, all these have been repulsed. The Anglo-French forces, which have been holding territory around Ypres, again have been subjected to deter mined attacks, fresh German troops having attempted to force the allies out of thleir trenches. As was the case with the Prussian Guard, the Germans, who made the latest effort, appear to have taken the first line of trenches, but, like the guards, were compelled to give back the ground after holding it for 4 short time. Germans Encounter Russians Petrograd. - The following official communication was issued from gen Ieral headquarters: "Between the Vistula and Warta our advance guards in an engagement with the Germans, who took the of fensive, fell back in the directions of Bzure. The enemy succeeded in gain Iing a footing in the region of Lent chitga (Lenczyca) and Orloff, throw ing out advance guards in the direc tion of Piontek "In East Prussia our troops contin ie to make progress and fighting is goinlg on near the Gumblnnen-Anger burg front Enormous War Cost London.-David Lloyd-George, chan cellor of the exchequer, in the house of comumons, estimated that one year of war would cost England 450,000,O0 pounds ($2,250,000,000), the largest amount Great Britain ever has spent, and more than twice whlat was spent in tile four years' conflict in South Africa. To pay thlis enormous bill the government has decided, he said, tc raise a loan of 350,000,000 pounds ($1, 750,000,000), which would be issued at 95, bear intek'st at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent and be redeemable at par Berlin Views Optimistic Berlin-A general review of the situ ation in the western arena, given out in Berlin, indicates that the latest German victories are suchl that the advance of the Russians has been men dered more difficult: This -success lowever, must not be overestimated for the Russian losses, although se vere, do not mean that the Russian movement has collapsed.

That the Germans have been successful in impeding the enemy's progress - is admitted In Petrograd. However, the Russians are optimistic and point to the hasty defense that is being made at Kustrin to protect Berlin as one of the telling points of their achievements. Kustrin is only fifty miles away from the capital, which has been seriously threatened in the last few days by the army of Grand Duke Nicholas. Austrian troops have started anoth er attack on Servia, much to the alarm of Bulgaria and the other Balkan states. Petrograd advices state that the Turkish fort at the entrance of the port of Khopa in Armenia has been destroyed by the Russian army of the Caucasus. The Russian Black sea fleet, on the other hand, is said to have been seriously worsted by Turk ish ships in the harbor of Sebastopol. The French lines claim successes in Argonne. The Italian government is deeply concerned over the Austrian invasion of Servia, and the govern ment at Rome has called home all her ambassadors to European capitals to confer with the Italian cabinet. Inclement weather conditions throughout the war zone prevented fig'hting to any considerable extent during the past week, but the attacks are beginning to be renewed on both sides of the empire. Little significance is being attached by the official's at Washington to the firing on a naval launch from the Unit ed States cruiser Tennessee in the gulf of Smyrna by Turkish guns. The navy department is inclined to the belief that the shot was but a friend ly warning against the mined area of the gulf. President Wilson is de termined that the United States shall not 'ngage in war with Turkey, par ticularly at this time of the European crisis. German pluck and determination was marked to a hi'gh degree during the last week when, despite their many setbacks, they persisted in theiri attacks on the Anglo-French lines. Each time they were repulsed. The Russian invasion of East Prus sia has caused some alarm and divert ed the attention to that direction. For more than four days' hard fighting has been reported around Soldau. The Austrains have also turned their forc es on the Russians north and east of Cracow,. ,the Galician capital which the czar's forces- recently captured and burned. Despite the severity of the weather in all sections of Europe and' in face of overwhelming obstacles the Germans have persisted in 'thelr at tacks on the allies, both to the east and west. Gradually, however, they have been' beaten back and have lost ground on both sides. On the Franco-Belgian frontier, the allies have driven them back across the Yser, and in the east they have been repulsed by the invad ing Russians, who now advise their war chiefs at Petrograd that they are, withing 189 miles of Berlin. It has been a week of German ad versities, but the Teutonic spirit is in domitable and the kaiser's forces have shown the greatest contempt for death in their unsuccessful onslaughts made on the British and French. French successes have been reported south of Verdun. The first check upon the various campaigns along the different battle lines since the opening of the war was marked by the blizzards which swept down from western Poland across the entire northern portion of the German empire and far into Bel gum and northern France. British Lose In Egypt Berlin.-The following information was given out in official quarters: : "Advices from Rome are to the effect that in the fighting at El Arish, a for tified Egyptian town on the Mediterra nean, the British suffered heavy loss es. The Italian colony in Egypt is suffering from the prostration of all lines of trade. Maj. Gen. Sir John Maxwell, commander of the British forces in Egypt, declared that it was only her treaties with the allies which led England to fight against Turkey. Germans Check Russians Petrograd.-The following official statement from the Russian general staff has been issued here: "The ef forts of the Germans seem to be aim ed at trying to break down our front between the Vistula and the Warta. Northwest of Lodz we-captured- a bat tery of heavy artillery, ten machine guns and several hundred prisoners. Etubborn fights on the Czenstochowa and Cracow fronts are developing nor mally. On November 17-18 wve took 3,000 Austrian prisoners."

LaBoon, "Sweet" Alexander and W. F. Christopher, with C. L. Cureton, special employee of the U. S. Revenue department. h a v e raided five moonshine stills and captured seven men, together with a quantity of booze and beer. Two of the stills were found on Oolenoy and two men cap tured. Two were found on Eastatoe and two men captured there. While the fifth still was found in a cove just at the foot of Table Rock mountain. Quite an experience was had by the officers in raiding this still. It was raided- just at midnight Saturday night and three men wei e at work when the officers came upon them. They were enabled to get close enough to the moonshiners to hear their: conversation while,- at work. They were discussing what would happen if the officers were to show up. One big. burly moonshiner making the remark that he wouldn't do a thing but pick 'em up and throw 'em into that big pot, when. suddenly a stick that one of the officers was standing or broke and popped like a pistol. The officers stated that the moon shiner didn't wait to throw any body into the pot, but said what the little rabbit 'said when the dog got after him-"Gone from here." The officers remained perfectly quiet, and the moon shiners hearing no further noise presently returned to their work. The officers then pounced upon them, caipturing one, the other two escaping :in the darkness, but were recognized and war rants have been issued for their arrest. The still-was destroyed and a quantity of booze and beer was captured.' It seems that notwithstanding the fact that the officers are al ways on the lookout, that the moonshiners are pretty busy just now. With corn at a. low price, and booze at a high price and such.a great demand. for it, they run great risks in the man ufacture of blockade liquor. But the qantity of blockade liquor sdld ik nothing in com parison to the amount shipped in by express, and if this could be stopped the officers would have the situation well in hand. Little Child Burned to Death A very sad accident occurred at Norris last Saturday about 10 o'clock a.m., when Joe Jackson, the six-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith, fell into the fire and was fatally burned. Rt seems that the little child was~ sitting in a rocking chair in front of the fire, when the moth er went out of the room to get some wood. When she came baick she found the little child with its face in the ashes. Life lingered with the precious little one until about 8 o'clock Sunday night, when its suffer ing ceased and the angels took it to Heaven. The funeral ser vices were conducted by Rev. E. V. Babb and the interment took place at Enon last Tuesday. These people have sympathy of a host of friends in their bereave ment. W. G. STUBBS S H4 WH Y is it we can sell .

Stubbs 205 South Main St Massingale Captured After Years of Libe John Massingale, alias Marion', Wilson, an escaped convict, was captured by Sheriff Roark in Monroe county,.Tennessee, last Tuesday, and was brought back to Pickens 6ounty after being at liberty for fourteen years. The case of Massingale is an - unusual and interesting one. He was convicted at the spring term of court here in 1900 of man slaughter, and was sentenced by Judge R. C. Watts, presiding judge, to serve three years on chaingang. He was covicted of killing Tude Reeves in the upper part of this county, near Crow Creek postoffice. The killing occurred January 31, 1900. R. A. Bowen was foreman of the jury that convicted Massin gale. M. F, Ansel, who wasso licitor at that time, prosecuted the case, while J. P. Carey rep resented the defendant. After serving six months on the county chaingang Massin gale escaped, the camp beingon the road between Norris and Ca teechee. He settled in Monroe county, in the mountains of East Tennessee, and since that time has been living a quiet, peace able life, and was said to be a goodgjaw-abiding citizen. Dur ing that time he has accumu latebd good property, owning a farm of 130 acres. He is mar ried and has a family of- eleven children, one of whom is mar ried. When .approached ity Sheriff Roark he offered no resistance and readily confesed to being the man wanted and-agreed to come back without ti-ouble. He had assuried the -name of Marion Wilson and is said to be well thought of in the section where he lives. He is a man of 46 years of age and is of good ap pearance. Sheriff Roark-has been work ing on this case for-.six years, and after- six years of ti'acing records and nen, spotted the man last Tuesday and brought him back to serve the sentencex that was4mposed- upon.-him by the court. Massingale is now on the coun ty chaingang. He seemed to take his change of fortune with a li rht heart and stated that he was ready and willing to- serve his sentence and; then go back to his home and family. This case is almost identical' with the famous Stribling case ~in Georgia that was given such prominence by the newspapers. This makes six escaped con victs that Sheriff Roark has car ried back to the camp since the March term of court. Card of Sympathy We, the members of Oliver Camp No. 585, W. 0.
