For several weeks there had beei an almost incessant bombardmen with big guns, increasing late las week in intensity, particularly in tin sectors where infantry attacks tool place.

VI vuvg Beausejour and Sulppes, in Cham pagne, where in December they madi a considerable gain. This attack backed by a tremendous artillery fir' gave them possession of more terri tory than they had retaken fiom tin Germans since the latter dug them selves in after the battle of th? Marne. According to the French, the Ger mans were driven out of the! trenches over a front of fifteen miles varying in depth from two thirds of ; mile to two and a half miles. Tin French in this engagement capturec twelve thousand prisoners The importance of this gain lies ii the fact that every yard of groun< taken in this region weakens the Ger man position around Verdon, fron which the Germans might be com pelled to retire should the Frencl make a further advance. The French have regained trench as east of the "Labyrinth," in tin Arras district, which was the scent of much heavy fighting earlier in th< year. There the Germans had bull' what they considered almost impreg nable fortifications. FIVE MIT^S OF TRENCHES TAKEN. This attack was made in co-opera tion wit lithe British, who attaeke? on either side of La Bassee canal The attack south of the canal was Field Marshal Sir John French re ports, a complete success. Trenchei five miles in width and about fou thousand yards in depth' were takei at this point. This push forward gives the Brit ish possession of the road from Len to La Bassee, which was used by tin Germons for moving troops and sup plies north and south and threaten to out flank the German troops whicl linltl t lit* tnvvn rtf I .Ann Hill No. 7 0, .one of the position taken on the is less than a mil directly north of Lens, whil llulluch. which also fell into th hands of the British, is at the en of the road near Ha Bassee.

North of the canal the British, a! though they fought all day yesterdaj were unable to hold the ground gain ed and had to fall hack to the trend] es which they had left in the mori ing. The attack, however, accon plished one purpose, as, according t Field Marshal Frenrn, German r< serves were sent to cheek this movt thus giving the Hritish south of th canal an opportunty to eonsolldat their new positions unmolested. ALONG M EN IN ROAD. A somewhat similar manoeuvr took place north and south of th Menln road, east of Ypres, and th results were the same North of th road the Hritish were unable to hoi tho ground taken, but to the sout they gained about 600 yards of Gei man trenches and oonsoldated th ground won.

The Democratic party stands for white supremacy, ; and to use the negro vote In an election among the Democrats, is setting a verv damrorous precedent fur ?tl future time. I cannot too strongly stress tho importance of white rule in South Carolina. The precedent established by a bolt from the primary for the purpose of using thai negro voters in the general election,! is a most dangerous one. "Personally, under no circum stances would 1 accept a nomination i or election to any oflice at the hands i of tho negro," said the governor. "The negro is all right in his place, but his place is certainly not the ballot box. This has been proven time and time again in the past. The white man is the negro's best friend when the negro is out of politics, and tho negro himself is happier and more prosperous without the ballot, for the reason that ho is nnt th?>? tn be UBed for the purpose of defeating the will of the whito citizens of South Carolina."
