f IN THREE WAR AREAS L CRITICAL OPERATIONS Proceeding in Progress of Great World War of 4 Nations THREE FIELDS OF ACTION % Germans and British in Flanders, Russians Offensive ^ in Carpathians. The general situation in regard to the war as it stood by the end of last week was stated in despatches as follows: ^ Military operations of critical importance now are under way inthree distinct fields of action. In Flanders the Germans once more are engaged with the British, P Belgians and French in a struggle for mastery ot the territory near the Yser canal, where several months ago thcr occurred what was perhaps the most m terrible struggle of the war thus far. In the Carpathians the Russians again are assuming the offensive in another effort to push over the mountain barrier into Hungary. At the Dardaneles the allies have succeeded in landing troops on both sides of tha straits inaugurating a combined land and sea attempt at Con - stantinoplc. ^ A British correspondent in northern \ France says the German effort to turn the left British flank near the Ypres has failed definitely, although the bat- 1 tie conditions with violence. French 1 military authorities are cautious of accepting the theory that the German plan is to break through to the Knglish Channel, hut they regard it 1 w as patent that such a huge concentrr. 1 tion of troops on a limited front ' means that the present drive is preM .4 i ? in* MAld Wf I !1"1 jjtll hui'j tu ouiiiu 1uw| l" ijuium nmv dcrtakim/.

ODD INSURANCE CASE IN COURT Judge Smith Rules Pastor Not Agent For Mail Order Concern. United State District Judge H. A. M. Smith signed an order last week in which he sets aside the service of summons by the trustees of the Dillon Methodist Episcopal Church, South, upon the Rev. A. J. Cauthen, pastor of that congregation, arising from an effort on the part of the Dillon trustees to secure service upon the National Mutual Church Insurance Company of Chicago, defendant in action recently brought by the above mentioned board of trustees. The case came before Judge Smith from the State court, Dillon county. The facts appear as follows. The manager of the defendant corporation which maintains a mail agency, communicated with the Rev. Cauthen in the matter of insuring the Diion Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Rev. Cauthen took the matter up with his trustees, who accepted tr?e company's offer for insurance of the church building and parsonage. The pastor wrote the letter of acceptance, and according to the allegation set forth in the complaint, mailed January 5, 1915. On January 6th, 1915, the Church burned down. The letter of acceptance was en route. On January 7, the Church notified the Chicago company, contract for which policy had been consummated, asking for an adjustment, which was not forthcoming. In order to secure service on the company, which must be accomplished in South Carolina, and at an apparent loss to locate an agent, the trustees attempted to make the pastor agent. Judge Smith has, however, ordered that service of summons on tlie Rev Cauthen is not service of summons upon the defendant, nor upon any odicer or agent thereof.

It never really went out, as far the children arc concerned. Now however 1 _ 1 i * - young lucues nave taken it up?not in skating rinks, by the way, but in the open air,?for exercise and fun on the sidewalks and the smooth pavements of the city streets. On any fine evening on the best and most exclusive streets in the residence districts of Chicago, groups and couples of girls from 18 to 22 may be seen gliding along over the smooth surface of the walks. The fad has struck many of tlie smaller places in different parts of the country and already the village kill-jolys are protesting and calling for laws to prohibit skating on the sidewalks. It was ever thus. No sooner does youth find a new way of amusing itself?no matter how innocent?than some long-faced, vinegar blooded reformer is out with a protost. and a demand that the young' people he presented with the alternative of abandoning their fun or becoming' criminals by the infraction of a prohibitory ordinance. There was at one time a well-grounded prejudice against skating* rinks. These places, nowadays, arc usually so well conducted that they are comparatively safe. Hut ther can he no just objection to the young girls bringing the bloom of health to their cheeks by such beneficial exercise as roller skating on the sidewalks of their own home town and in company with the same girls with whom they associate at other times. Let the reformers purchase roller skates and use them. It will work off some of the bile and give them a brighter outlook on life. o HOW'S THIS.

New York,?John Bunny, whose antics as a moving picture comedian made millions laugh died at his home in Brooklyn last week. He had been ill for three weeks from a complication of diseases. Members of his family were with him when he died. For a week he apparently had been on the mend. A strenuous month of work, it is believed, caused the breakdown which resulted in his death. John Bunny was 52 years old. He had been before the footlights twenty-nine years before he entered the moving picture field four years ago. He had leading roles with many oldtime stars, among them Annie Russet. He had attained country-wide popularity as an actor before he achieved his greatest success on the screen. Mr Bunny was born in NewYork city of English parents, educated in Brooklyn in the public school and was a clerk in a general store until he went on the stage at the age of 15. In the moving picture world he was regarded for a time as the country's leading comedian and was said to be receiving more salary than the President of the United States. He will be buried in Brooklyn. o OBITUARY. On Sunday morning, April 11th, 1915, near the hour of three o'clock, the death angel visited the home of Mr. A. W. Barnhill and took from him his loving wife, Lillie. She was d4 years and 4 days old. She had been almost helpless for two years. She bore her afflictions with patience and fortitude. She seemed to be willing, ready and waiting for the summons to come. In early life she connected herself with the Missionary Baptist Church at Bayboro, where she remained a member until the time of her death. She leaves a husband, six children, a mother, one brother, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn the loss, but while we mourn we feel that it is her gain. Gone to rest, my precious Sister, Here no more I'll see your face But we'll meet again in Heaven, When we've run life's ruirtred race. We miss "her when the morning dawns We miss her when the night returns, Wo jn)i?s her here, we miss her there Dear sister, we miss you ever;,'where. It was very hard to give her up, but we feel that she would not bo back on this sinful earth if she could. We could see no trace of the sting of death as she lay in her casket. She was laid to rest in the Bayboro cemetery to await the resurrection morn. Lillie, thou art gone and left us And our loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God who has bereft us He can all our sorrows heal. 1 can't forget my sister But love her more and more, Such love draws us nearer and nearer To yonders shining shore. She is an angel in Heaven, Safe in the Shepard's fold, And awaits us at the portals Beyond the gates of gold. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep. Her Loving Sister, DOCIA COOK. To Drive Out Malaria Ancl Build Up The System Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC. You know what you are taking, as the formula is nrintprl mi ?'

Florence, April 80.?It is understood that the Georgetown & Western railroad today passed into the hands of the Bonsai system. This deal has been in contemplation for a long time and its consummation means a great deal for the development of the section of the country through which the Bonsai roads run. It puts under one management a system of roads from Hamlet, N. C. and from McBee, which will soon be a road from Monroe through the leading towns of Eastern Carolina to Charleston, and favorable schedules and accomodations may be secured for the travelling and business public over these lines. Mr. Graves, Mr. Hancock, and Mr. Bonsai passed through here yesterday en route to Georgetown to complete the transfer of the Georgetown & Western to tho Carol inn. Aflnntw- X Western. It is very probable that the passenger schedule into Charleston and a schedule from Florence to Georgetown will soon be put into effect and that Florence will have that very much desired morning train from Poston, returning in the afternoon, which has been asked for and virtually promised by the management of the C. A. & W. The new road shortens the distance from Georgetown to Charleston by 10 miles. The property transferred consists of 40 miles of road from George town to Lanes, the line from Andrews to Poston, the old South Carolina road from Poston through Mullins to Hamlot nn,l 4 1 1- 1M_ n v/ u?i\i imiii i utiuni Liiruugii r iorcnce and Darlington to Hartsvillo to McBec, which is to bo extended soon to Monroe, and tho road from Hartsvillo to Sumter, Bishopville, and Timmonsville. Other proposed lines which may soon be built are from I Poston to Conway and from Poston J through Lake City to Timmonsville. through Lake City to Timmonsville. | o THE LOAFER.
