Considerable gains by the allied forces in France, on the Gallipoli peninsula and in Asiatic Turkey are / chronicled by London and Paris, while damage to Austrian positions on the Adriatic by Italian warships is reported by Italy. Berlin admits the reverses claimed *by Paris?at Neuville-St Vaast, where the Germnn?ahnvp Inst two croUDS of houses and the relinquishment of a sugar factory at Souchez. The Germans, however, claim progress against the Russians in Galicia, capture of many positions and numbers of men and guns. Gains on the western front claimed by Paris are on the sector north of Arras and at Neuville, where trenches south of the "Labyrinth" have been taken, and north of the Aisne, where, after a bombardment, two successive lines ^f trenches and v several German works were captured and counter attacks repulsed. Germany reports the repulse with heavy losses to the allies bf attacks on the eastern slope of the Lorette height. An advance of 500 yards along a front of nearly three miles, in which two lines of Turkish trenches on the Gallipoli peninsula were taken by the allies, is reported by London and Paris. The fighting was san quinary,'postion after position being taken by the allied troops and then reverting to the Turks in furious counter attacks. Allied w&r? ships aided their land forces in capturing the Turkish positions. In the taking of Amara, on the Tigris River, in Asiatic Turkey, the British received the surrender of the Governor and some thirty officers and about 700 soldiers. In all t that district the British took prisoners more than 2,000 men. The Italian naval forces have carried out several operations against the Austrian coast points in the middle and lower Adriatic. They have cut the cable connecting the Dalmation archipelago to the Continent and destroyed by bombardment the lighthouses and lookout stations of the islands.

Homicide Near Lake City. Lake City, June 7:?Ladson McClam, a negro, employed on the farm of D W Floyd, about three miles west of here, was fatally shot ! last night. Charley Nelson, living ; on the adjoining farm of Mr F L Floyd, is accused. It seems from the testimony at the Coroner's in- ' I quest held this afternoon that four ( negroes, Mott Singletary, Ladson non in oouui oarunuu over wmcn it has visitorial and advisory powers. It has already made a preliminary study of the State hospital for the insane and the penitentiary. But, before the State-wide survey can be undertaken in a- thorough-going way, it will be necessary to determine what kinds of data about institutions will be of greatest use to the State. To find this out, the board and its officers are studying the reports of a number of boards in other States, making comparisons, etc. Albert S Johnstone, secretary of the board, will visit especially successful boards and institutions in other States to get a first-hand yiew of their methods of work. A survey of the penal, charitable and correctional institutions of South Carolina will disclose the real conditions in them and will enable the State Board of Charities and Corrections to co-operate more closely with local officials and to contribute more effectively to bring about needed reforms in the systems of managing county jails, poor houses and chaingangs, as well as in the State's penal, charitable and correctional institutions. The State Board of Charities and Corrections is now in close touch with the board of regents of the i ? i f j 1 .

Those patients who art1 found to have means and who I therefore should pay will l>e required by the board of regents to pay in whole <"r in/>art for their treatment at the hospital.

The call has been issued to all denominations. Attention, Tobacco Growers. i 1 am here to stay until the tobacco crop is sold, if it takes until Christmas to do it. And I want to call your attention to one fact that will be of great importance to you this year and that is to let your tobacco get ripe before gathering it. If you lose a few leaves by waiting don't worry about that, it will pay you in the end. Will be glad to advise you at any time about your tobacco. Just drop me a card at Kingstree and , I will come at once. Yours very truly, 6-10-2t E J Hester.

The booty of the Austro-' Germans on the recapture of the1 city is not yet known, but is believ-, ed to be comparatively small, as the Russians retained communication with the city to the last, and, it is believed, were able to withdraw 4 most of their troops and material. i / . *'* - -* ' . r. - JtXf , * TOPICS ' | 7WZ7WZ7K Tl^rr 7K 7T TfsTr 7fK TTTTi^Tl^ Columbia has declared in favor of compulsory education by a vote of 58 to 1.
