Han Marco; near Gorilla where the Invaded Italian j>osltlon they luid previously levelled by their gun fire. Their tenure of these, however, was short-lived, for the Italians, reinforced in a counter-attack, drove out the invaders, inflicting hpavy casualties. The usual quietude on the eastern front has l?eer. * broken by the Kus? slans near Kovel and In the, Caitjw thlans near Pnevi. In what apiwrently were minor attacks the Husslilns, In both places forced the Teutons to give ground. Again a Teutonic allied submarine has sunk a Spanish steamer.

At each one of tihe pi Hit's for Reg istration throughout Kersligw (Jouuty the registrars won* greeted with crowds eager to got their name on the roll, on lust Tuwdtty morning. The most noticeable feature of the registration was tlu? fact that negroes contrary to what was at one time] expected, were not only willing, l?*it in i^ll eases, seemed to be anxious to serve their country. In reply t*> tlioi questinn : "Have you any preference as to fcfie part of the sevrh-e you waul to enter" the Invariable answer of the negriK's was that they were ready to go 'liny where that the government wantc<l theni, s The day (Missed off quietly all over the comity, not one eligible that we have heard of refused to register. The only imtrtotlc demonstration In Cam den wu5 that of the Boy Stents who parallel the streets, led hy their com luauder, Mr. T. K. Trotter, carrying large banners ltearlng the words "Buy A Oberty llond" "Register Today," and "Answer Your Country's Call." They were applauded at several poluts along the line of march. Approximately two . thousand - four hundred young men wefe registered In Kershaw County, and of this nuiu lier, ."IK) came from the city of Cam den. A total of more than ten mil lion were registered in all the States. The first draft will be for 625,000 men wthlch means that one out of every sixteen registered will have to serve. In Kershaw County this means that the first call will take 160 men, and the second call for half a million men wil take 120 from Kershaw comi ty. Thus the first two drafts will take 270 men from this county. IMtyorts from all parts of the State Indicate that the registration was con ducted every where In a quiet man ner, ami the concensus of opinion Is that the regtstarflon was complete in the State. ; Many Bonds Sold Here. The Liberty Bond committee which has charge o f the sale of the govern ment War bonds In Camden has al ready disported of $2.1,400.00 worth of the bonds. The allottmcut for the town'us made by the Central CommIt fee ifr Columbia is $40,000.00, so there stiU remains $10,600.00 to be subscrib ed In Order for Camden to do her full duty in the present emergency. The local committee composed of ('. 11. Tates of the Bank of Camden, Chairman, .1. T. Macke.v of the First j National Bank, and John S. Lindsay | of the Loan and Savipgs Hank, has' had the bonds before the public for j the past week. The final doy upon which subscriptions can lie received is .June-15th. or one week from today. In tliaV time It Is hoped that not on ly will CAmden's full allottment l?e ! taken, but that au over-subscription for the town will be shown. > .The Central Committee at Colum bia has congratulated the local com mittee upon the work it lias accom plished thus far, and Mr. A. W. Rob ertson, the chairman, says that he Is jierfeetly confident that Camden will irot only take up her allottment, but will over-subscribe it considerably. The total for the" State Is $10,000,000.00 and it will readily lie seen fchat every South Carolinian must do his duty. The banks are making Tor accommodating customers by car rying the bonds for them for stated periods and anyone who desires to] subscrll>d, or wishes further Informa tion in - regard to the bonds may go to imy on? of the banks In town.

Death of Mr. J. \V. Butler. : \T, W. Butlen a resident of the liar tuony section of Kershaw county for about, forty years died at his home Monday afternoon ^after an Illness of several weeks, * ^Jake" Butler as he was known to'^lls familiar friends was a man of sterling character, very kind and indulgent as a father, as a neighbor ever rcnd.v to lend a sym pathetic hand. He was patriotic almost to a fault; having nerved through the war, being wounded setf^ral times and commend ed as well as promoted several time* for his courage. Although verey mod' est. and conservative it was a treat h? hear lrim relate some of his ex? perlenoes on the battle llehl. A lover of history, of which he was a ]>er slstent student, 'he kept his mind fresh with the stirring events of those tryjng times.

Storm in I'eaoh Belt. ^iacon, <??._ June 3.?A violent wiud storm, accompanied by ball, struck the peach belt in Middle tielrgla this afternoon. Thousands of ]>ench trees were stripi>ed of fruit. Telegraph |H>les and trees were torn down. At some sections of the peach belt lmll atones were three Inches deep. So far as known there was 110 loss of life. Sections of Houston. Crawford, Twiggs and Ulbh counties were struck by the storm. At some points hall covered the ground to a depth of from three to eight Inches, according to i>erHons who were Inthat section. Sev eral outomohile partle* that passed through the district brought buckets filled wiiii hailstones to this city. These parties say that thousands of peach trees have been stripped of peaches and that corn, watermelon and cotton crops iu the path of the &torm have been ruined. <r. Live stock was killed at Roberta, In Crawford County. ? Plowing Up Cotton. <'arefut inquiry over practically the whole of Lee dunty shows a gratify ing increase planted to foodstuffs. In a number of. Instances farmers have plowed up cotton and planted to corn ami ]H>tatoes. In almost every case the amount of fertilizer used on corn has been heavily Increased, in a num Iter of cases the amount doubled. State Senator O. M. Stuckey has plow ed up frotu five to 15 acres of cotton to the horse'onol i one-horse faratygpd planted to corn, potatoes andfc otttet food crops, thus leading the iieople by setting them a good example. With good season* I>e# county people will lire at home after tU? year. There Is a large acreage in wheat this year and indications are for more than a fair yield. Restive Pleases. Uestlvo, th?* celebrated piano-accor dionist. who was at the Majestic The atre for the first three days of this week, is undoubtedly a musician of rare ability, and more than pleased the jsitrons of this theatre.

ANOTIIKIt L\K<il*i KNTKKI'KISK Yadkin Kiver rower Comp?n> to ftrect I'ower Line 80011. Mr. P. A. Tlllery, Manager of the Yadkin Hlver Power (Vaupany and fchc Palmetto Power and Light Comimny, whoso headquarter* are In Kalelgh, N. O., was' iu Camden this week ou busi ness connected with the construction from Laurlithurg, N. C., Into Kershaw County of a line for the purpose of transmitting eloctrlc ]K)?vr for tJio Palmetto Power and Light (\>mpany. A transmission lino is constructed h.v the erection of steel towers ahout WHi feet a|Nirt from Which are sus|>end ed cop|>cr wires, which actually con duct the jK>wer. The searelty and high price of metals on account of the war makes tlip construction such a line very expensive. The Yadkin Hlver Power Company and Palmetto Power ami Light Company are con trolled unU owned hy I ho same Inter mmh, and have Tor some years j>ast .Wu furnishing janver and light to twenty-five or more cities and towns In North Carolina, among them Ha lelgh, Henderson, Coldshoro and Rock Ingham. For the last five years they have beoit furnishing power rind light to the town of Ckorjtw, South Caro lina. A right of way foi," the con struction of the new line has l>eeu procured from Laurlnburg, N. 0., to MoColl and ltcnnettsvllle, The route from Hennettsvllle to Camden has not heeu definitely determined. The progress and development d\ir lug recent years of the communities served *by the Yadkin ltlver Power Company and its allied concerns has l>een wonderful. The entry of ami) a concern into Kershaw County marks another forward step In the develoi> uient ami progress whltfi has been gradually taking place for the past few years in this county. The I ite med la to seel Ion to 1k?v t ra versed Jfcj the power line will be greatly bene, titod by Inning close at hand a source of readily adaptable and cheap ptfw?r. It does not require a vivid imagina tion to foresee a time when the power Hup \vU1 be parallelled |>y ?n electric railway. The entry into Cnmilcii h^ this or any similar public service com pany would undoubtedly 'mean the establishment of sumll industries-liav Ihg need off Cheap power. Qftrlttg to the fact that Camden i>< Hfc the present time, served, by u very efficient light and iwwer plant municipally owned, It is uncertain whether the Palmet to Power and Light Company will construct Into the town Its j>awer line. It. Is certain^ however, that they in | tend b> come.Into the county and we feel that by their advent the county Kenerally will be benefited. - As the construction of a line of the cliarac I ter described requires* skilled labor, this development will jiot enter into ?comi>etition with our farmers in pro curing workmen. The Company5!* engineers are now surveying between Caimlen and Ben nettsville hdklng for the moat, prac tical route. AFTER FIFTY YEARS Aged Mmn and Woman United in Mar riage at Rome, Ga.
