FIGHTING IN EAST BEGINING OF SPRING CAMPAIGN Not Since War Began Has There Been Such Activity Along Whole Line." Petrograd, March 17, 12 noon, via London, 2:55 p. in.?Active encounters of considerable strategic importance now progressing along the 600mile eastern front constitute, in the opinion of military authorities here, the beginning of the spring campaign, from the Niemen, in the north through Russian Poland and eastward through Galicia, to the Dniester. Not since the war began has there bene such continuous activity along the whole eastern line. In the Carpathians, the Russians appear to have been successful in ^ 1 A nation rlchfr flank south Luruuig uic ..B of Stanislau in a spectacular battles Amid snow, which in places was over the heads of the combatants, the Ruscsians rushed the Austrian fortifications near the villiage of Tarnowice. Abandonig the customary military formations, they scrambled as best they ' ^ conld through the drifts, some times strung out in Indiau file, sometimes almost losing touch with each othher. They succeeded, however, in reaching the fortifications in sufficiently good order to take the Austriaus by surprise and possess themselves of the stronghold in a short time, capturing large unmbers of prisoners and guns. This movement was followed by a general flanking operation, which drove the Austrians from the Dnelster. The Russians now hope to expel the opponents from east Galicia. An encounter ofequal strategic importance occured between the Uisok Pass and Turka, in which the Russians capteured trenches and seized railroads communications. In the north between Grotno and Sein thme Russian cavalry hap been supplemented by several infantry divisions. Along the Orzyc, the German advance from East Prussia appears to have been checked effectively by the Russian capture of the important and heavily fortified German position at Yednorozzec.

'* The effect of the circulars sent broadcast over the Pee Dee belt by tobacco dealers of the "old belt" ad vising our farmers to curtail the pro ductlon of tobacco is being felt al1 right, and as a result a great number of farmers are at a loss to Iftiow what 1 to do. To us, it seems the height of folly to pay any attention to-the advise proffered of the speculators. They are in the tobacco buslnesArfor the money that'is in it, and jjA't give a "sam hill" for the toUaccSMgrowers of South Carolina exqept for Aat they can make out of them.

Some unscrupulous party or'parties 1 have already beeu at work among the unsuspecting classes of our ifarmers circulating the report that the tobacco ' markets of-the Eastern belt would not * open this season. A bigger lie neyer started. So far as the Mullins market is concerned, it is a fact that the warehousemen will not only open, but they have already hired their forces for the season and will open on time. In addition to this .we are informed that the warehousemen of Mullens are all planting a good acreage in tobacco in the anticipation of better, prices than those of last year. They claim that tobacco offers a brighter prospect than cotton, as they see it. Our farmers should consider well before they take the advice of "pinhookers" and simulators, who, no doubt, have large stocks of aid crop tobaccos 011 liana wmcn mey uougm at low prices and liojie, by demoraliz ing the farmers in their crop this year, to reap a golden harvest 011. our farmers are not fools, though often mis, led by tlie canting hypocrtts who taffy ( them, up by posing as their friends.? .Mullins Enterprise.
