No one receives any compensation for the work, and it is gladiy and cheerfully done. * i Mr. M. L*. Spearman is the treasurer of the fund for Newberry and pay-! ment may be made at the Exchange bank.

But the car kept on going until Ninety Six wa3 reached, where and when Mr. Cro-| mer and Miss Dunstan proceeded i without further delay to get married. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John G.

TURMOIL CO IN GERi Imperial Chancellor and Pru to Resign?Meantime Pnu cess in Galici The political situation in Germany is still far from a solution judging from the fragamentary news permit-' ted to pass the censor. Rumors of the abdication of Emperor William and a strike of the reichsta? have re ceived no confirmation. A wireless dispatch given out by the British admiralty late Saturday evening, however said Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German imperial chancellor, has resigned. A " ondon dispatch says Dr. George Michaelis, Prussian under secretary of finance and food commissioner, has been appointed to succeed von Bethmann-Hollweg. A Berne dispatch says an official telegram has been received there f rom Berlin announcing the resignation of Gen. von Stein, the Prussian minister of war. The importance of his retirement lies in the fact that the Prussian war ministery is in reality the sian war minilstery is in reality the and that Gen. von Stein is a stauncli supporter of the Pan-Germans, who are the bitterest opponents of peace without annexation or indemnities. Gen. von Stein recently aroused the ire of the Socialists by taking p*rt in the distribution of Pan-American propaganda against peace efforts. Russia's victorious troops have made a further advance in Eastern Galicia, where the Austro-German lines were shattered by Gen. Korniloff's drive. Petrograd officially annonces the capture of the village cf Novica, southwest of Kalusz. The Germans evidently have brought up troops in an effort to stay the disorMISSES SOMETIMES BUT SOT THIS TIME Former Attorney General TViskersbam Denies (iiTlng Kaiser jjoosun^ Opinion. Chicago, July 14.?A report which attained considerable currency to the effect that Former Attorney General Wlckersham had given an opinion that the United States was without authorization to send citizen, soldiers abroad was cleared up in a speech de livered at the Hamilton club today by Judge K. M. Landis. Judge Landis read a telegram N which he sent to Mr. Wickersham: "The kaiser boosters quote you authority for proposition United States without authority to send the con-f schipted army abroad. To what opinion do these liars refer? Answer my expense." Mr. Wickersham replied: "Kaiser-boosters must refer to my opinion February 7, 1913, opinions A. G., volume 29, page 322, to effect j that constitution limits use of militia to purposes defined paragraph 15, section 8, article 1. Therefore President Wilson was without authority to send organized militia of States into foreign country as part of army of occupation.

Washington, July 5.?When the drawing of lots under the selective conscription law will be carried out remained uncertain tonight, tout war department officials were hopeful that completion of local exemption machinery throughout the couatry on which the great lottery no?/ is waiting would be accomplished by the end of the week.

The efforts met witk 110 success. Elsewhere on the Russo-Galiciaa front the situation is unchanged and apparently, the Russians have paused to gather their forces for a further drive. The German war office again reports considerable activi ty on the northern ena 01 tne una near Dvinsk and Smorgon, but the Russian statements contain nothing to indicate that an offensive in that section is in prospect. The French and British armies oa the western front are still idle except for local operations. Still fighting occurred on Friday night in Belgium near Lombaertzyde and Berlim announces that British attacks there broke down with heavy losses. The British report, however, says the Germans made a fruitless attacfc fit that sector. Heavy artillery is in progress near St. Quentin ' and between Craonne and Courcy, with, indications of a renewal of the bitter struggle for vantage points on: the Aisne front. ? .A* rTne British transport Armadale was sunk by a submarine in the Atlantic on June 27, London reports.'

The feeling here is that the federal government now has done everything possible that the burden of responsibility for hastening the selection of a war army rests entirely upon State and local authorities.
