Those who failed to get their names
on the club rolls have only them
selves to blame. There was no lack
?of notice in this county as to the time
the rolls would close. The paper.?
gave full notice of the day, and then
the executive committee sent out cir- I
culars and wrote letters to all the enrolling

have heard of one club that had every.,
name on the bocks. They had all
fcut one and he was* working in Columbia
and a member of the club
went after him and thus there is i
full enrollment in that club. In fact
so far as we have heard the enroll- j
-ment in this county has been prettv j
full.
In 1916 the total enrollment was I
3.47$: in 1914 it was 3,365. The war:
m <board estimates that there have been j
I about 600 men sent to camp under .

Is estimated that aibout 100 volun
eered so that the total loss from thi3 '
source will be about 700 voters.
The books are to be in the hands
of the county chairman within three j
ilays and they are to include all who
fe* liave 'been called to the service. If j
" that list is made up carefully and ac-1
cording to instructions we will be

cording to instructions because we i

MWBKR OF AMERICANS.
5'risMij^rs Say They Believe 1 0,000,000
rnifed States Troops Are in
France.
With the American Army on the
AJsne-Marne Front. Sunday, July 21
? (By the Associated Press.)?A German
prisoner captured "by the Americans
today, formerly was a baker in
Xew York City and Lebanon. Fa. He
was asked what the German soldiers
thought about Americans.
Since Thursday, the prisoner said,
the Germans .had concluded that the
announcement that a million Americans
were in France, was false. an']
rumors among the Germans on this
front are that ther? are 10,000.000
Americans in France.
South of Soissons American troops
!"odav advance 2 kilometers (about 1
and 1-4 miles).
The allied artillery has found the
range of the Soissons-Chateau Thierry
railroad, while American troops
are astride the >Soissons-Villers CotprAts
railroad As a result there 'is
only one railroad line in the hands
of the Germans south of a line drawn
from Soissons to Rheims.
Northeast cf Belleau. northwest o?
Chateau Thierry, the Americans early
Sunday, made an advance of 5 kilometers.
Some of the most terrific fighting
since the offensive began occurred
"between Givry and Vaux. the Germans
using artillery and machine
guns.
The artillery troops occunied Hill
?f>4. commanding Chateau Thierry, at
.daylight Sunday, and shortly afterward
wore pressing through the city
(itself. Progress east and north by the
French ard Americans continued
throughout Sunday. The Germans
north of the Marne wer? subjected
to a terrible pounding from the allied
artillery today. They responded
heartily. although unsuccessfully.
The allied artillerymen were feeling
out of the German rear lines with
telling effect, making the enemy's
rear guard section costly.
Prisoners captured near Chateau
Thierry confirmed the soundness o?
General Fooh'* Nan. when they declared
a German retreat became imperative
on account of decreased supplies.
Stores of both ammunition and
foori^tuffs 'were becoming low. they
said.
OrdQT-s had 'been issued, the prisoners
added, to retreat to a point 10
miles north, but the indications tonight
wero th^t the Gprmans would
not for long the permitted to remain
that clcse to the Marne, for the allied
flanking movement is progressing
steady. Both the railroads and the
wagon roads over which the enormstores
for the Germans must pass
are so menaced as to make them unncohte.
Streams of prisoners were being
taken to the rear all day Sunday.

ALLIES STILL GAIMNii
AS GERMANS FALL BACK. |
i
\
Although Progress of Advance Has j
Been Somewhat Slowed Up it J
Continues With Losses in
Ground, M?n and >1 miitions.
I
The entente allied troops on the j
Soissons-Rheims salient continue to |
gain ground both on the western side
of the battle front and on the south l
along the Marr.e and towards Rheims, j
notwithstanding the increasing reof
the Germans and the bad
weather that is Prevailing on the
southern part of line.

ue to the allied line for the further
prosecution of the efforts to clear the
territory of the enemy. In the fighting
more prisoners, jjuns and war
stores have fallen into the hands of ;
the American, French and British
troops. j
As a division the French to' the
northwest, midway between 'Soissons
nrd Amiens, have delivered a blow
against, the German line which ha-3
been productive of excellent results. .
Striking on a front of about four '
miles. General Foch's troops pene- I
trated the enemy lines for a distance
of about two miles and gained the j
heights dominating the valley of th?
Avre River and the plains beyond, j
F'f^en hundrel Germans were cap- !
j
tured by the French. The official !
commi'T?'cation issued bv the Frenc'i !
i
war office refers to this fighting as
a local operation.
Reach Railroad Line.
I
South of Soissons the drive of the i
Franco-American forces toward Fere.
* en-Tardenois has pushed further
hack Germans on both sides of the
Ourcq river. South of the river notififrliifti?io^""n
the allied
?f?>1^es reached the railroad line
between Armenfieres and Couincy,
running southward to Chat.eau-Thier- j
rv and pressed on beyond it. This advance
brings the French and American
troops relatively to within seven
miles of Fere.en-Tardenois and also
gives them a dominating position for
big gun play over tne eastern section
of the railway line running tram Ar.
mentieres to Fere-en-Tardenois.
On the northern bank of the Marne
to the east of Chateau-Thierry the
town of Jaulgonne, from which the
Americans retreated during the German
offensive has been recaptured
and left in the rear hy the advancing
troops. East of Taulgonne the French
likewise have advanced their line on
'hf- north bank of the IMarne and
clung to their newly won positions,
notwithstanding the violence of the
German counter -moves and the statement
of the German war office that J
they were driven out.

Likewise"?south of Rheims. where

French gained the advantage and in
i addition to inflicting heavy casualties
j took prisoners and five guns. The
; British alone captured 300 Germans.
| The counterattacks of the Germans
continue with great violence
with heavy gun and machine gun fire
I behind them. Where they are forced
j to give ground the Germans are leav!
1-ng numerous machine <run nests in
tho rmen to harrass their enemies and
I aid in making secure the retirements.
The Germans apparent are fearj
ful that the constant ntbbling at their
j lines east of Amiens by the British
| foreshadow an early attack, and thev
are sending a rain of gas shells over
| the Villers-Brettonneux sector as a
| precaution. The British cr. various
! sectors of the front in France and
I
j Flanders continue daily to make
| slight gains against the enemy and
' take prisoners and machine guns.
I
; hi Albania both the French and

j the latest reports from Rome and
' Paris considerable gains are credited
to the allied troops and also the capture
of important positions and pris

Some twenty-five or thirty years <
a so the Summer brothers came t j :
Newberry from their Lexington home ;
and opened a store in a modest sor-, 1
of manner at cr about where ths |j
Newberry Savings bank is now lo- i
cated. The first of the brothers to
come were Mr. Geo. W., and Mr. [. H. <
CHARLES E. SUMMER,
President and Treasurer of Summer
Brothers Company,
and afterwards came Mr. Charley.
They were 011 the job all the time,
I attended to their own business and
; the business grew steadily and se- .
| curely from the beginning.
The brothers soon became an ins- portant
factor in the commercial life
of the community and every enterprise
that was for the development cf ,
the town had their support 'and it
was not many years ibefore they en- ]
larged and the business increased ,
1 and they were among the commercial ,
i leaders in the town. ! i
i
It is not the purpose of this article (
to trace the history of the firm, bur,
simply to point to another evidence
of the progressive spirit which moves ,
these* men, who have an idea that if e
they are to sell the goods they must (
have them, and they must also know a
how to handle them and to serve the j j
trade. ?
There is only one of the brothers i
- ' l
who is now a 'member of the firm i
of Summer Brothers 'Company. The ! >
others drew out, 'Mr. J. 'H. Summer ! ;
taking over the clothing store and 1 <
Mr. Geo. W. Summer giving his time i
to the presidency of the CMollohon s
Manufacturing company, one of th* ,?
largest and most successful of the t
cotton mills of this section. The j
clothing store cf J. H. Summer anc' ' ?
company is one of the largest around
these parts and is doing a nice busi- (
ness. The junior member or ino j]
company, .Mr. T. Roy. Summer, one of j
the finest young men of the town has {i
been called to the colors. j (
Mr. C. E. Summer is the only one
of the brothers who is a member of j ]
the Summer Brothers Company at ; i
this time, and it is of this firm that ! i

And with that idea in mind they I jare
now putting in a big refrigerator j g

so as to properly care for tne large

part of the stock being owned iby the

is really the active working
member, you might say, of the firm
and he is on the job all the time. Mr
Dominick is a very valuable man and
he is there too. Mr. Dominick is
^ery efficient and is thoroughly business.
in fact all three.of the members
and officers are active in the
conduct of the large business.
Mr. C. E. Summer is identified with
i number of other corporations and

hi?- resignation and expressng
appreciation of his valuable
service. He is also a director in the
5tandard Warehouse company and

nember of the board of commissioners
of public works for the city.
Mr. Summer has declined numbers

Mr. Clarence Summer the vicepresident,
and as stated the active
vorking member of the company, is
low and has been an alderman of the
own from his ward for about six
-ears. He is also connected with the
Carolina Auto company and gives his

The company also owns and operates
several very large farms, two
