THURSDAY London, Sept. 30.?The nineteenth day of the battle of the Aisne finds the Allied armies pushing with all the strength they can bring to bear in their great effort to outflank the German right wing and force it back from its line of communications through Belgium. There is evidence that this movement is beginning to tell and that unless something unforeseen happens this portion of the German army must fall back to another defensive line. The French official report today says the action continues to develop to the northward: so that the French left must be pushing toward Cambrai as yesterday it was in the neighborhood of Albert. FRIDAY London, Oct. 1.?The battle of the Ainse, now nearing the end of its third week, soon will out. strip in respect to time the great contest fought at Mukden nearly ten years ago, but still no definite result has been achie\pd. The french official communication issued late today condensed into about 30 words, was one of the shortest given to the pui.lic since the war began. It records that progress has been made by both right and left wings of the allied armies but gives no details or the extent of the progress between the lines. Millitary experts believe the * "have been describe^, continue to open to clutch atihe outspread wings of the German army, particularly the right, which forms the upright portion of the L and now has its back to the east, fighting with desperation to prevent the French left from encircling or smashing it.

SATURDAY London, Oct. 2.?The battle ol the Aisne, as it still is called, although the armies contending in it have spread far beyond thai river, has been in progress just three weeks and no decision has been reached. Reports from Paris earlier in the week that the allies* operations were about tc succed were premature. From all appearances there must be more hard fighting before eithei side gives away. The heaviest blows are beinjj given and taken in the western theatre, where, according to official communications, an extremely violent battle continues neat Roye, where the Germans have concentrated considerable forces. The communication . added that the action was ex tending more and more north ward and that the fighting front now extended to the district south of Arras. This, apparently was a modest account ol the northward advance of the French, for private telegrams received in London tonight announced that the French actually had reached Arros.

Blease and Peeples Did Not Fight Mr. Fred Dominick has the following to say in a letter to the Gaffney Ledger in regard to the report that Attorney General Peeples had whipped Governor Blease: There is no foundation in fact for any such rumors, which have been so industriously circulated throughout the State. There has been no differences between the Governor and the Attorney General, and none between the Attorney General and myself. It is unfair to Mr. Peeples to say that he has been ungrateful to me, or has shown any ingratitude, and there is not the slightest foundation for any such rumors or any sucli statement. In justice to Gov. Please, Attorney General Peoples and myself, I hope you will make the proper corrections to the statements made in your paper. Yours truly, Fred H. Doininick, Assistant Attorney General. September 29, 1914.

The the way to make hard times is to talk hard times. Men will stampede just as cattle stampede when some one springs a false alarm. The other day I looked over a cotton buyer's books for the fall of 1911. Cotton opened at 8 1-2, and the bulk of the crop sold on the local market brought under 9 cents. Yet no one around here starved to death that winter and everybody planted cotton again for 1912. Don't listen to hard time talk.? Above all use vour head.

Mr. Thomas Edison uses large quantities of carbolic acid in the manufacture of the disc for his new phonograph. When he realized that the war had cut off the supply of carbolic acid from Germany, he set to work to make his own supply. In this he was successful off hand. He constructed a* plant from which he is making carbolic acid synthetically from benzoil, and from this process Mf. Edison says America can make all the carbolic acid it needs now or will need at any future time. Edison is a great man. The only thing, he has attempted which has umped "."JTir-^r.

Vaxhaw Enterprise Halley's comet, which has >een known in history as a harjinger of war, is making good his time. The comet was visible n this country in May and June, 1910. At that time there was not i war cloud visible anywhere. The whole world was at peace tnd many people hoped and be ieved that war was a thing of he past. However many others vlio arc inclined to see things n signs, gave notice that trouble ,vas brewing somewhere. And io it was. Halley's comet had lardly vanished when Madero :ollected a band of "Insurrctos" n Mexico and set out for the ;calp of Diaz. The war in Mexco since then has continued ilmost without interruption. Shortly after the outbreak in Mexico, Italy and Turkey lockid horns in Africa. Then folowed the sanguinary struggle in he Balkans, 1912-13, when Bulgaria, Greece, Servia and Monenegro united in war against Turkey, resulting in great loss }f life. Also revolutions have aken place in China, Hayti ind other countries. Two nonths ago the great European war broke out.

Food For Producing Winter Eggs Cheaply Clemson College, October 3. F. C. Hare, poultry husbandman of Clemson College, recommends to South Carolina poultrymen a mash made of cottonseed meal and grain as the most economical feed with which to produce winter eggs in this State. This State is getting credit for the idea of feeding cotton seed meal to poultry and Mr. Hare has received a letter from a Richmond feed concern stating that it was putting out a mash ol the sort recommended and naming it the "South Carolina Egg Mash." The formula recommended by Mr. Hare is as follows: Cotton seed meal ion Ins. Corn and oat chop 100 lbs. Ship stuff (wheat bran and shorts) 100 lbs. Ground lime rock b> lbs. Ground charcoal 12 lbs. Salt . 2 lbs. "This is the cheapest food for making eggs," savs Mr. Hare "and though ii hiic i....... tested at Clem son College, llie results that reliable feeders have obtained with it warrant our recommending it. Keep it in the house before the hens nM the time. Use a covered box with slats around it, so the hens can not soil or waste the meal, or put it in a hopper. I)o not mix it with water and feed as a wet mash only once a day, because in that case the hens will overfeed and then stand around and get chilled. "When the mash is fed dry the hens consume it gradually, as nature intended for them to feed. T te ground lime rock is ordi ound cnarmaMvun^be cImu^*-"1-1 'j.

Pee Dee Advoente Instead of being sharp pointed, the dum dum bullet has a eoncave end, which spreads when it strikes an object and tears the object to pieces. We have seen them used in practice by a t rat h rifleman. An ordinary M bullet made a small hole through an annle but when shot wiih a tlum dum, the apple was torn to pieces and so scattered that the fragments were hard to find.
