DAILY WAR REPORTS
Synopsis of War News as Reported
Daily from the Scene
Battle.
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

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. Along most of the
front, estimated at 180 miles in
length, the artillery has played
by far the most important part in
the struggle but on the German
right lighter guns, cavalry and

fighting with a stubbornness and
disregard of life that people so
often have said in recent years
modern soldiers never would
display.
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. Stubborn residence is

. ' v.: .
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.

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.

Easy For Edison.
Charlotte Observer
American inventive genius still
finds incentive from situations
growing out of the European
war. 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. UiC piikUR'ltOH^
of electricity from coal, and he]
will have that before he quits.

Report of the Grand Jury.
To His Honor, John S. Wilson, ^
Presiding Judge:
We, the Grand Jury, having 1
passed upon all bills submitted t
to us by the Court, beg leave to t
make the following report: i
The committees appointed by 1
us to examine the poor house, ?
the jail, the roads and chain r
gang and to look into the condi- ?
tion of the various offices report 1
as follows: t
The poor house is neatly kept >
and in fair condition with the i
exception of the roof of the col- >
ored department which is in s
need of repair. The jail is in an 1
excellent condition in every res- <
licrt nnH tflP nricnnprc "mil '
r ?*?v pilOVUVl J >VV/11 *
cared for. The roads, generally s
speaking, are in a very bad con- i
dition. The bridge across Hear '<
Creek, near Merriman's mill, is J
in had condition. The abutt- 1
ment to the steel bridge at t
Craig's mill and the one at the 1
bridge across Crewses branch t
are in need of repairs and we J
recommend that these be attend- t
ed to at once.
New tents have been bought <
for the chain gang and the pris- 1
.oners are as comfortably fixed s
as could be expected. i
The books of all the magist- 1
rates of the county have been 1
examined and found correct. t
We recommend that a suitable f
carpet be placed in the passage- ^
way of the court room. We !
also recommend that a sewerage 5
system and water works, with '
: the proper connections, for the ]
benefit of the officers and the <
i public generally, be installed as 1
[nearly as practicable, in the court ]

Comet Brought the Wars.
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. This war involves
about three-fourths of the
erritory of the world and all the
irst class powers of the world
with the exception of the United
stotoc On nno owln Jo

and Austria. On the other England,
France, Russia, Japan, Serbia
and Belgium. Turkey and
Bulgaria are expected to join the
Germans at any moment, while
Italy and Roumania will most
ikelv unite with the Allies.
Surely the soothsayers have
something to harp on now.

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

but always add the salt."

"Cornelius Ilusk, on his first
visit to New York, entered n res
taurant with timid, faltering
steps. A waiter brought him a
menu. Very red in the face, lie
studied it a long time. Finally,
to help him out, the waiter said:

The Dum Dum Bullet.
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.
