Thursday, March 4, 1915. . ? ? After the next rain use the split- i log drag. i We are delighted to see our old contemporary, the Herald and News. among our exchanges again. Col. E. 1 H. Aull has been made the editor of ( the reorganized paper, and it is stat- ^ ed that the company is on a good basis. j On another page of The Herald to- ' day we print the local option compul- I sory education bill as it was enacted t into law. The law should be read i carefully by every one interested in education. It will be noted that the law can be invoked by either an i election or petition. : The Bamberg Herald says that "it is now pp to the people of Orange- j ' burg to secure an extension of the j 1 B.. E. & \V. railroad to connect with : j the Coast Line." Seems to us that , - * * - * j-- ~ 1 OrangeDurg aas aireauy uu a ?i& hand in the new road in the person 1 * of our Mr. W. C. Wolfe.?Orangeburg Sun. i The people of this county appre-j ciate the services rendered by Mr. Wolfe, and trust that he will keep up the good work by having the ex- ' tension made. Bamberg has contributed largely financially toward this project, and it seems to us Orangeburg would be the largest beneficiary if the road is extended. 1 The patrons and friends of the | Carlisle school greatly appreciate the j magnificent donation of Mr. C. F. Rizer for a gymnasium. The build- , ing is soon to be erected, and will t fill a long felt need of the school. < With a competent instructor, who will be employed as soon as the building is erected, Carlisle will be second to no school of its class in this State. The school is this year re- 1 ceiving the most liberal patronage in 1 its history, the enrollment being < larger than at any previous session, 1 notwithstanding the war and business i depression. It is safe to say that the 1 school with the gymnasium added next term will have a yet larger at- < tendance. Bamberg people have never been conspicuous in the matter of church j going.?Bamberg Herald. We can speak better of the Newberry people. They go to church. And they hear i good sermons.?Newberry Herald i and News. j We are glad to know the Newber- ( ry people go to church so well. We wish they would extend their in- , fiuence all over the State, because there is no better way of spending , Sunday than going twice to church. . But, frankly, if all the people in New- J berry went to church that should Newberry would need more churches. ( And the writer has never seen j "standing room only" congregations , there. Fact is there are very few j places in the State or anywhere else , where the people attend church as j they attend other meetings. , The Bamberg Herald says it was very early "in the session when it denounced the legislature for doing ' nothing: but it changed its mind ( later on. Our contemporary spoke *Anrt thorp woro others? IW VJ U1V?. ???%* v-vv w ? and all of them, with insignificant exceptions, had the fairness al the close to commend the work or the session.?Newberry Observer. We usually say what we have to say when the saying thereof may be of benefit. It is the easiest thing in the world to bestow praise. It is not easy to criticize, but sometimes when even a legislative body is apathetic a few words of criticism may spur it on. Our friend will have to acknowledge that a lot of valuable time was spent in Columbia before i anything of any consequence was done. It is not a good policy to put i off important work until the last 1110- i ment?therein lies a danger of that work not being properly performed. XKW OTTOMAN CAPITAL.

Q Vienna reports a violent engagement in Bukowina without saying Sj anything about the outcome, while Petrograd claims to have checked the Austro-German advance in this ren gion. In the west interest centres on the Champagne district, where fierce attacks and counter attacks have marksd operations of the last week. Ber- ^ lin claims to have repulsed the continued French advances in that region, while Paris asserts the French troops have been successful in making progress and repulsing the Ger- ^ man counter attacks. Paris claims also the capture of 2,000 yards of trenches northwest and ^ north of Beausejour. II Practically all discussion of the diplomatic situation has been suspended in the expectation of the statement Premier Asquith is to make in parliament this afternoon on the steps the allies probably will (i take to meet the menace of the German submarine campaign.

If the ruing is reversed, counsel for Frank nd the State told the court, the case lust go back to the district court for he taking of evidence on which the negations for the petition for the rit were based. The court was informed by Frank's ttorneys that should the writ be ranted Frank could be tried again nder the pending indictment. The tate's counsel questioned this asserion.
