The industrial edition of the
Columbia State published Saturday
contained 8S pages of very
readable matter about South
Carolina and her industries.
The entire edition was printed
in Columbia. We couldn't take
time to read it all, but we were
pleased with what we did read.
We don't believe a law to
force farmers to reduce acreage
next year would be constitutional,
but we do not care how
manv such laws are nassod. A
good many could be scared
enough by the passage of such
laws to cause them to reduce
before the slow-moving courts
woidd get to the law to 'declare
it constitutional or unconstitu
tional.
Murders in Chesterfield county
are too frequent, and there must
be a cause. I lunian life has become
cheap, and there is little
fear of punishment. Twentysix
inquests have been held
since June l')12, and during this
time there has been one death
sentence imposed.
i nere must be something
wrong with.the system of justice.
A public sentiment against
crime and a rigid enforcement
of the law are needed.
The entertainments and shows
that have been given in Pageland
have been of a cheap nature
and as a rule there has been
nothing elevating in the amusements
furnished us. Realizing
this and also the need for some
real fii^das^^mUertainments
ed an agreement last spring with
the Alkahest Lyceum system, of
Atlanta, guaranteeing them the
necessary amount to secure four
high-class entertainments for
this season, these attractions to
be given one a month, beginning
next Monday night. These citizens
have made the admission,
very low, much lower, in fact,
than most entertainments of this
class. JTlie people should show
their appreciation ot this move
? by attending at least the first attraction.
Then they can pass
judgement upon the course.

The Ford is my auto. I shall
noi want, it maketh me to lie
down under it in green pastures;
It leadeth me into much trouble
and draweth on my purse. I go
into the shadow of death for its
sake; yea, though I feel much
evil for the radius rod on the
axle might break. It has a blowout
in the presence of mine
enemies. I anointed its cylinders
with oil. The radiator boileth
over. Surely this thing will not
follow me thru life or I will
dwell in the house of the poor
forever. I ecjuippeth my Ford
with a cuckoo clock and when
it reacheth the speed*of 20 miles
per hour, the bird cometh out
and sintreth. "Nonror vt*'

London, Oct. 3. 9 p. m.?Roye, r
the little town on the main road (
from Chamiens to Noyon, the x
heights around which have been a
alternately occupied by the
French and the Germans during f
the past week, is still the center *
of a battle of great violence. t
The Germans, who are fight- *
ing stubbornly to protect their i
flank at this point, have brought J
up reiniorcemenis, dui according
to the French official com- *
munication today, all their at- s
tacks have been repulsed. 3
Of other operations on this ^
front, which extends as far north <
as Arras, nothing has been dis- 1
closed since the French them- <
selves announced that their force <
debouching from Arras had fal '
len back slightly on the east and 1
north of that town. 1

Oct- 5.?The Allied armies, after ,
having permitted their adversaries,
as they thought to exhaust <
themselves by continued attacks,
today took a most vigorous offensive.
The British and French I
encountered such a strong resistance,
however, that their most
advanced detachments on the
Western wing were compelled
to fall back.
Only at this part of the long
battle line did the opposing
troops actually come into close
contact.

andsoF men occupy positions,
have suffered severely in the recent
fighting and probably willsuffer
more before the struggle
is over.
The country where the chief
fighting is going on is flat and
under cultivation. In manyplaces
it is boggy and there are
scattered coal mines. The Allied
armies are extending continually
toward the north and bending
eastward towards the Belgian
frontier, thus compelling the
Germans, in order to prevent the
crumbling up of their main
army, to move large forces from
the center and so keep pace with
the Allies, whose position menaces
the* invaders along the
whole line.
MONDAY . fl
London, Oct. 4.?Having repulsed
the German attacks, presumably
in the vicinity of Roye,
the French, according to an official
communication issued late
today at Paris, have resumed the
offensive at several points, while
other positions on their left have
been maintained.
The great effort of the allies to
envelop the German right may
be said to be in operation again,
and it is believed the whole
French column from Roye
northward to Arras is moving
eastward against the German
positions.
It is the same operation that
has been tried repeatedly for the
last three weeks in an attempt to
reach the German lines of com
nuinication and either Encircle
the German army forming the
right wing or force it to fall back
to Belgium and Luxemburg.
The Germans have had a long
mne in wnicn to make their
position secure, so there is a lot
of hard fighting ahead for both
the attacking forces and the
defenses. The defensive role is
apparently being assumed by the
invaders. '

Has He Found the Cause? ?
mbcrton Robcsonian
Dr. W. B. Page, whole-time
alth officer of Robeson county
satisfied that he has discoverthe
cause of pellagra. By exriments
with a number of
tients extending over aeonlerable
length of time he has
monstrated to his own satisfac>n
that this dread disease is
used by an intestinal parasite
id that the disease is transmitI
in much the same way as
phoid fever is transmitted,
octor Page has sent an article
:plaining his theory to a mediil
journal for publication in its
jxt issue.
If Doctor Page has really dis>vered
the cause of this disease
will be a boon of incalculable
inefit to humanity, for discovy
of the remedy will speedily
llow.
Doctor Page says this disease
very prevalent in Robeson
>unty and that he believes it is
)ing as much damage in the ~~
>unty as tuberculosis. Hither- ~~
t the disease has baffled the p
tedical profession and it is deoutly
to be hoped that Doctor
age is correct in his theory. <
