TWO VIOLENT FIGHTING ON EASTERN FRONT Hardest Struggle for Kovel, While Bitter Battie Rages on Stripa ALLIES PLANNING RENEWAL OF DRIVE Asquith Says Anglo-French Offensive is But at Beginning of It. The most violent fighting in the great entente allied offensive is on the Eastern front, where Gen. Brussiloff's t.renif?nrl()ii? l)lnw<t urn hoino continued without apparent lull or hesitation. Temporarily, at least, the Austro-Germans appear to have halted the Russian advance along the Stokhod. Both sides are reported to be hurling huge reinforcements of men and guns into this titanic struggle, the prize of which is the immensely important strategic town of Kovel. Farther to the South a battle of almost equal intensity is raging on the lower Stripa, where the Russians are striking north in an effort to crush Gen. von Bothmer and flank the entire Austro-German line. The Austrians admit that the Russians penetrated von Bothmer's front at some points, but assert they were driven out again in counterattacks. The Russians claim to have taken 2.000 prisoners but make no mention of a gain in territory. The British have held their gains on their portion of the Somme front, and the usual period of consolidation and the pushing forward of the big artillery is presumed to be taking place. A similar situation exists on the French line and a remarkably brief French oflicial statement of Thursday night simply records the continuance of the bombardment of Fort Souville in the Verdun region. Two important statements in regard to the Western front were made in London Thursday. Premier Asihlp.c ni fhp hrtliaa rvf .. quith, speaking in the house of commons, declared that the British supply of munitions was ample and that the Franco-British offensive was mei-ely at its beginning. The sceond statement was made by War Minister Lloyd-George, addressing an allied conference on equipment. The minister of war declared that the British output of ammunition will be soon overwhelming and that the new factories and work shops have not yet attained one-third their full capacity. He asserted that the tide of -vieory now is flowing in the direction i ?of the entente allies and predicted , that it would continue to do so. o WHY ENDURE SUMMER COLDS?

South Carolina faros well in the omnibus public building bill made public and reported to the house by the Chairman of the public buildings and grounds committee, Representative Frank Clark of Florida.

Hudgens of Pelzer has ' been appointed as a magistrate for Anderson county to succeed John 13. , Bonner resigned. The hurricane which struck McCiellanville was probably the greatest which has ever been known there. According to several inhabitants, the tide rose three inches higher than in the storm of 1893, and the velocity of the wind was about the same. A crowd that seemed.to favor Gov. Manning greeted the State campaign party when the candidates made their appeals for suffrage at Barnwell last week. After years of fruitless discussion on the subject, there is at last on foot a definite project to bridge the Santee river, thereby giving direct high way connection between the Pee Dee counties of South Carolina and the coastal plain. Preparations are being made for the opening of the second session of the Clemson College summer school, which will begin on July 31 and will run for four weeks, closing August 2 G.
