That impresses onlookers as one of the ways South Carolina candidates have of introducing each other to the people. ? Wilmington Star. A rousing mass meeting of the citizens of Laurens and of the county was held at Laurens Wednesday afternoon to give endorsement to tin- candidacy of N. It. Dial for the I'nited States Senate, and resolutions setting forth Mr. Dial's stand ing and worth. in that section wefie adopt ed. A number of speeches were made by various citizens showing the esfimate (hat is placed on Mr. Dial as embodied in the resolutions. The Filbert picnic, an event held an nually at Filbert station, live miles north of York-, and which for a decade or more has been the biggest political gathering in York county, will not be held this summer. The picnic always drew a tre mendous crowd and was regularly at tended by practically all the York county olliceveeker-. as well as by men lu'onii- I iient in state polities. I Iterances made there have been given wide publicity; mi instance being the speech last August | of an e\ governor Of South Carolina on I the war. The decision of Filbert people j to -forego ihix year their annual gnla day will be .1 disappointment to picnic lovers throughout York county, and also doubt less n source of regret to certain more or less prominent stnte politicians who have there annually gi\en vent to their perfe rvid oratory.

Everywhere the battles arc being stub bornly contested, and where the French a ud Italians have been compelled to give ground it haa been only after the in diction of extremely . heavy casualties on the invaderM. The Americans nowhere l?ave beeu forced to withdraw. On the contrary near Fossoy, near the bend of the Marne between ('bateau Thierry and Dormant*, they <bavc made further im provement* in their position*. Like .their French comrade* in arm*, the Ameficans also hare beeu engaged in violent fighting with the enemy. Daily it becomea increasingly appar ent that the strategy of the (jernian high command in the present battle has foremost in its consideration the blotting ov\t of the Hhcims salient and the straightening of the line eastward thru Champagne toward Verdun. The hard est lighting of Tuesday wait southwest of Hhcims, where the enemy is endeavor ing to break through the hill oud for eign region, reach the ruilroad running front Hhcims to Eperney and force the evacuation of Hhcims. In these endeavors, the German war office asserts the Germans have driv en back the allied troops on the mountain "f liheims between Manteual und north of Pourey, the last named place being u scant five miles distunt from the tjt h ci m s-Epe r u ay railroad. The French official communication admits that the (lennans hold the line west of Nuitteuil-La-Fosse, about a mile and a half south of Pourey and relatively live miles west t?f the railroad. The German war office is now claim* ing the capture of 18,000 prisoners since the present offensive begau. It is reported \hat French reserve* have entered the fighting line along the Marne and that to the north of LaChap elle-Monthodou they have recaptured lost territory. The Germaus also, as was ex pected, have brought up fresh forces in an endeavor to puHh forwurd their pro- 1 jeet in this region. There is a veritable ( deluge of shells from the guns of both sides along the entire Marne front. On the ttritisb front iu . northern France and Flanders the Germans are keeping up violent boniburdinents on various sectors, using' both gas and high explosive shells. Gaa has been used extensively on the ?
