Chairman ?lease read a statement to the committee in regard to the soldier vote and the importance of properly guarding the election so that there may ibe no ground for charges of fraud or irregularities which address or statement we will print on Friday. Committees were appomiea lo receive the soldier vote and to go over the club rolls and take off names that may be improperly put on or that mya be duplicated and to see that they are correct. ? The committee to receive the soldier vote is composed of the county rhairman. the secretary and Mr. W. E. Wallace. The committee to go over the club rolls is the chairman, Adam L. Aull; P.. Ts C. Hunter, C. M. Folk, 0. K. Shealy, J. iM. K. Bushardt. I Another meeting of the committee will ibe held next Tuesday. The rolls have been copied as required by the rules.

"V o ritory. British and French tanks which crossed the front. German lines and reached tihe heights north of Beugnheux were shot to pieces, according to the report. The text of the communication fol lows : ".Between Soissons and Fere-enTardenois the enemy yesterday con tinued his useless attacks. Strong artillery duels preceded these attacks, which were directed in the morning against our front on ihoth sides of Ville^Montoire and in the afternoon extended as far south as Hartennes They were repulsed before our lines, sometimes in hand to hand 'fighting.

"Yesterday we shot down 14 enemy airplanes.

Many People Eat Worms. The use of insects for food is receiving considerable attention. The new gospel is being preached widely, but, we fear, into deaf ears. The American public does not seem to take kindly to an insect. And yet crabs and lobsters, which are eaten joyously, are classed by zoological science as "near insects." And, if the truth must be told, little creatures still more savory than insects are partaken of by our disdainful population?worms. Americans eat worms quite generally. Sometimes they are conscious of it and sometimes not. All agree, however, that the worms are very Savory. They are, of course, the perfectly authentic worms that come in Rocquefort and other cheeses. . i Reward Not Always to the Great. A London bookseller's catalogue announces a copy of Browning's first book for $2,200. Yet, when it was printed, in 1833, through the assise-' ance of the poet's aunt, Mrs. Silver- j thorne, the poet would have been glad -. to have sold a copy in its little drab 1 boards for a few shillings. The reason j it is worth so much money now is that few of them have survived, and this' particular copy is described as im- j maculate. There may not be money in j poetry for the poets, but if the poet j only te thoughtful enough to become j, great his early trifles may bring a j flood of gold to some happy possessor. ]: ! i Miss Janie Glenn, after a pleasant j < risit to Miss Kate Bullock, has re- (^ :urned to h&r .home in Laurens, ac- j ] :ompanied by the latter on a pleas- j < int visit.

With the American Array on the Aisne-Marne, Aug. 2, 7 p. m. (By Associated Press.)?'Another jump forward was made today iby the French and Americans on the Aisne-Marne , front. From one to two miles were j gained with almost no fighting. Plans had been made to strike hard j blows against the resisting Germans' j rear, but the German war council evi- | dentlv had decided that the time was i inopportune to fight, for when the al- ! lies moved forward it was only to follow on the trail of the retreating j enemy. At a few places there' were sharp encounters, 'but they were nothing as compared with the terrible engage- 1 ments that (previously had 'been fougftt or what was expected. The French cavalry operated near . Dravegny, about two and half miles | north of Coulognes with the Ameri. j infantrv close behind while an other detachment of mounted French j troops opened the way a short dis- j tance to the west, with French in- : fantrv and lAmerican foot troops close ' up. j The penetration by the French and j Americans to the region of Dravegny would place them only a scant eight j miles southeast of Fismes, on the rail road line midway between Soissons ar.^ Rheims. To the westward the French reach j the southern borders of the Lou r>p;ene, Mareuil and Rigulizv woods j and the French cavalary to the south. ' ern border of the Moines wood. Germans Had Gone. Occasional bursts of machine gun fire rhal>en,s:od the advancing line '^ui ! :+ v<?s apparent .early in the move- i r'ent that the Germans had gone. ! The stiffest fighting encountered br !

To the westward another fo^oe of Americans also was moving I steadily through and around the Nesle woods and the rolling country east of the woods. To both the east and west o! that part of the line held by the Americans and French were meeting : Avith similar success. Few prisoners were taken during the day. but one of them, a captain,; edmitted that the German artillery had been withdrawn. His story tend. j ed to confirm the stories of other men : captured that the Germans were de- j t.ermined to make their next ibig stand j on he Vesle. and not the Ardre, and j that their movements underway in- j d'>ated the fortifying of ;Fismes arid | th^ center of the next fixed line of battle.

Japanese, Lettish, Persian and Slovak ? and many other foreign peoples may in that city of diverse nationalities read a newspaper in their own tongue. Socialistic and anti-Socialistic, anarchistic, Zionistic or anti-Zionistic are these foreign papers.

When a Russian paper publishes anl arucie eiiuueu: is jrairiuuMu xm;ui.-| able?" and an anarchistic sheet in-8 quires, "What would happen if thel president died?" is it any wonder that! church and government become uneasy and agree that this babel of tongues x can bear watching?
