Complete Capture of Belleau
Wood and Take 300 Prisoners
The French troops fighting south
east of Montdidier have turned upoi
the Germans in a violent attack an<
administered a severe defeat to thi
enemy over a front of about sever
and a half miles between Rubescour
aind St. Maur. It was over this fron
that the French since Sunday's pffen
sive began had held back-the German
from keeping pace wrth the advance
they were making on the center o
the line south of Ressons-Sur Mat:
toward the Oise river, and where thI
onslaughts of the invaders were me
with a defense in man and gun powe
that brought to the Germans enor
mous casualties.
The village of Belloy, Genils woo<
and the heights rising between Cour
c-lles and Moretemer were recapture'
by the French- and ii; r.ddition to th,
infliction of heavy casualties in the
engagement Gen. Foen's men tooi
more than 1,000 prisoners and alsi
captured guns.
American Success
The American marines fighting ii
the Chateau-Thierry sector have -om
pleted the capture of the Belelau woo<
from the Germans and with its occu
nation took 300 prisoners. The lates
German official c6mmunication as
serted that the Germans had repulse<
several attacks in this immediate vi
cinity.
The third day of the German of
fensive on the front between -Montdi
dier and Noyon saw the Germans stil
making progress from the center o
the lime eastward of the Oise river
but being held back -n their attempt
to bring their positions southeast o
Montdidier in alignment. Everywher
they were continuing to pay an exorb
itant price for the gains they made.
Must Come in Open
Having reached the Oise in the re
gion of Ribecourt, the enemy, if h
intends to try to fight his way aloni
.e west bank of the stream, so ,
emerge in force upon the low
ds bordering the waterway, wher
troops of Gen. Foch are said to b
hi-strong array, both in men an-I guns
whiting to dispute the road to Paris.
-Although nearly 300,000 men are
being employed by the German: ii
their efforts to open a way to the
French capital, their progress is slov
when compared to that on other days
merous divisions o1' the attackin
t ops have been cut to pieces by the
ench gunners .pnd forced to with
draw from the battle in order to fil
the gaps with fresh men.
Heavy Toll Exacted
Not an inch of ground has been giv
en up without the exacting by shi
Frpnch of a-terrible toll in men kille<
or wounded, and nowhere has the de
fending line been pierced.
The apex of the salient driven b1
the Germans is still in the r-etter
south of the village of Marqueglise
To the west of this point, the Germanm
at one time almost re.,nedl the Arond,
river, but were driven back for con
siderable distances by the French. Th,
French , also are counter a~ttackint

Largest. Crop
Washington, June 7.-A butnpeT
wheat crop this year, which befor
harvest may develop into a productiot
of a billion bushels, was forecast to
day by the Department of Agricul
ture, in its June crop report, giving
the first indication of the size of this
year's spring wheat output.
Basing its estimate on June 3 con,
dition, the department forecast a to
tal wheat production of 931,000,001
bushels, which would place this year's
harvest as the second largest in the
history of the country. Experts of the
government, aiming for a billion-bush
el crop to help in feeding the armies
and civilian populations of the Allies
pointed to the development of the
record crop of 1915 to substantiate
their hopes for a crop e :u;a to that.
Larger Acreage
The acreage sown to spring w hea
this year is larger by 2,000,000 acres
than ever before sown. The conditioi
of the crop on June 1 was 95.2 pei
cent of a normal, or 1.9 per cent bet
ter than the ten-year average. A pro
duction of 344,000,000 bushels were
forecast. That is 113.000,000 bushel
more than harvested last year and on
ly about 7,000,000 bushelE leas thai
the record spring's wheat harvest of
1915.
Winter wheat, gro : ng on the sec
ond largest acreage ever planted
showed a condition 3 per cent bette:
than the ten-year average, with 83.
per cent of normal. -4 production o
587,000,000 bushels was forecast,
which is 15,000,000 bushel; more th i
forecast from conditions existin
May 1.
The oat crop also pro:.ises; to be o
record proportions. Or. an acreage 2;
per cent larger than '!at year, whei
the record crop-1,587.000,000 bushe!
-was grown, June 1 conditions war
rant a forecast of 1,500,000,000 bush
els. Only last year's and the crop o
1915 exceeded that quantity. Rye pro
duction will be a record, the forecas
being :$1,00A0A -b" ahe~s, . -:which .is
slightly less than was forecast fo
May.

Dear Sir:
We enclose repor. of :rnalysi' o
sample of water received from yoi
on June 8th. We note that the anal
ysis indicates that the water has un
4dergone a change in quality since the
last examination, and whereas th<
JBacterial analysis indicates water t<
be of good qua44lityv and free froni
contamination, the Chemical analysii
shows a higher Chlorine content thai
usual and the presence of Nitrites
which indicates that the sample o
water has had access to some contamn
ination, unless other conditions ex
plain this change in quality. The oth
er tests indlicate that the contamnina
tion is not serious.
llowever, in view of the high Chio.
ine content and presence of Nitrites
we advise that you examine carefuill3
all the surroundmigs of your plant an<
ascertqin if there are any possibh
sources of contamination. If. afte>
your insnection, ydu deemt- it advisable
we shall make at check analysis foi
you. The State Board of Health doei
not make extra charge for check anal

ately afterwards the young couple
left by automobile for Sumter, whence
they. took the train for Brevard, N. C.,
wyhere Mr. Verner has a summer home.
They wvill spend their brief leave
there, returning on Monday to Atlan- e
La.
The wedding was very beautiful ir
in its seasonable simplicity, the color c<
scheme of yellow and white being car- fl
ried out im all the details. The aiving te
room, where the ceremony was per
formed, was decorated with daisies si
and ferns, great masses of the ferns b
being banked between two windows, 1t
with vases of the daisies and tall e'
candelabra with lighted tapers, form
ing a background for the bridal party.
The bridesmaids who were Misses K
Aileen Fladger of Spartanburg, Kim- n
mie Johnson, Louise Haynesworth of l
Florence and Caro Bradham wore airy 1r
white organdie frocks with yellow c
sashes and carried large old fashioned h
bouquets of white daisies. Miss Rita
Huggins, the bride's s;ster, as maid 0
of honor wore a charming gown of I
yellow organdie with a sash of pink v
and carried an armful of pink roses. if
Before the entrance of the bridal u
party Miss Louise Haynesworth sang i
several musical selections. 11er ac- s
companiments were played by Miss r
Edna Brockinton, who also played '
the wedding march.
The bride entered with the dame of
honor, her grandmother, Mrs. Louise
Huggins, who was dressed in black
lace and carried a large bouquet of
a
white carnations. The bride wore a
smart suit of blue taffeta, a dainty
white georgette blouse, a becoming
grey hat and shoes and gloves of the I;
same soft shade. She carried a boo.
quet of white roses, showered with c
swansonia.
After the ceremony punch was r
served by Misses Beiva and Clara
Haynesworth, cousins of the bride. r
Miss Mildred Brown served ice cream
and cake in the dining room. whi.h I
was decorated in lovely masses of by- I
drangeas. The color scheme was car- r
ried out in the refreshments, the s
cream being yellow and the yellow e
cakes iced mn white.
Mrs. Verner as Miss Hluggins has C
by her charm of manner and disposi
tion endeared herself to a large ci
cle of friends who regret that she will
no longer make her home in Manning. r
