Pickeus, as been a m ber of ' e house for the last - is, are urging him to offer or election as sergeant at-arms of the house. Mr. Mc Cravey championed the cause of compulsory education in the house, the measure being passed each time he advocated it, but failed of enaction because of the governor's veto.-The State. For Prohibition In a letter received from Rev. J. L. Hurley, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of South Carolina, we find the following statement: That at least three of the candidates for governor in the last election were avowed prohibitionists. He seems to think that a large majority of the legislature are with-us for prohibition. Mr. Hurley can see no need to put the state to the trouble and expense of holding & a~n election on the subject. Just let the legislature pass a state wide prohibition law and free the state from the curse. We I suppose that would be the short est and least expensive way to get rid of the legalized sale of liquor in the state. Then let the Webb law apply, and the glad day will be here for which so many people have been praying. D. W. H.

RS COMPANY ANOTHER BRITISH CRUISER IS SUNI German Submarine Torpedoed a Britis Cruiser In North Sea---Estimated 400 Men Lost UPRISING IN SOUTH AFRICi Against Great Britain Believed To B Under Control-England Fears German Invasion There were no important develoi ments in the European war during th past week. While there was a grea deal of activity in the two theater of war no desisive victories were woi or even any definite advantage gained A German submarine succeeded ii sinking another British cruiser witl 400 men on board. For a time the ulp rising in British South Africa agains Great Britain took on a serious aspect but General Botha, the British leader now believes he has the situation wel in hand. The progress of the allies agains the Germans in the north of Franc< along the Belgian border has been necessarily slow, but recent dispatcheE from London and Paris state that ad vances have been made. In some places along the great battle line which extends more than one hundred and fifty miles, the allies have push ed the Germans a,:oss the Belgiar border. In the campaign between the Germans and the Russians in the east there has been much fighting, but the reports coming from Berlin, Vienna and from Petrograd have been so con flicting that definite knowledge of the results is impossible. At the present time England her self is proving the center of attraction Following the fall of Antwerp, the Ger man forces pushed on towards Ostend on the Belgian coast. As Ostend is only 65 miles from Dover and 115 miles from London, England is alarm ed over the possibility of German in vasion. However, it appears that the problem of extending his lines before the allies to the coast in order that there would be no flank for the al lied troops to run is worrying the kai ser a great deal more at the present time than a possible invasion of Eng land. The Belgians who have suffered un told hardships since the great armies of German began pushing their way through the little country, are now fleeing from their native land to Hol land and England. For weeks the women and children and men who we not able to fight have been driv epy "from place to place. Their homes hs been destroyed and thousands of .em faced starvation. From Liege th fled to Brussels and from Brus sel. to Antwerp. Here it was thought they have surely found a safe haven of refuge, but the powerful siege guns of the Germans battered down the walls of the forts and once more the populace fled, this time to Ostend. Hardly had they arrived at the coast city than they were terrorized with the news that the Germans were com ing. There was nothing for them to do but flee to England and Holland. King Albert and his Belgian army has been lost sight of following the fall of Antwerp and their present whereabout8 is a mystery. It has been announced that the government of the Belgians has been moved to Havre, France, where the entire royal court of Belgium is now comfortably quar tered. Recent reports state that the Belgian queen is sharing the hardships of her husband at the head of the army, but the dispatch fails to say where the army is at the present time. In China there appears to have been a lull in the fighting between the Ger mans and the Japs at Kiao-Chow. There has been little news received from this theater of war. Italy remains neutral and a recent announcement from Rome states that Italy will make no hostile move unless they are com pelled to do so to protect their country from an enemy. Turkey is still brist ling, but has failed to declare war. Persistent reports that Portugal has declared war against Germany have been received through Rome, but no official announcement to this effect has been given out. German Fort Found In London London.-The police have found at Willesden, a suburb to the northwest of London, a building occupied by Ger mans with foundations and roof of heavy concrete. They arrested twenty two Germans on the premises. The premises were being used by C. G. Roeber, a German music publisher, as a factory. The site of this. factory at Wllisden commands several important railroad junctions. The Paris prem ises of this same firm were blown up recently on orders of the French gov rnment. Khedive Of Egypt In Turkey London.-That the khedive of Egypt, who is in Constantinople, has been for bidden by the British government to return to his dominions for the pres ent is a belief current among the Eng ishmen who keep in touch with Egyp dai affairs. The khedive was in Con stantinople visiting the sultan when he war began and was fired on and slightly wounded by an Egyptian po itical agitation. The loyalty of the hedive to British rule is strongly inestioned by Anglo-Egyptians. One I-our a Day.

To this must be added th virtual destruction of the cruiser PE gasus by a German warship at Zaii zibar. The Hawke, a cruiser of 7,350 tonE under command of Capt. Hugh Wil liams, was sunk in the North sea, th, graveyard of six other victims of Ge: man torpedoes. Bad aim on the part of the Ge: man gunner saved the Hawke's siste ship, the Theseus, for that vessel, too was attacked, but she escaped. The exact complement aboard th, Hawke has not been announced, but i ordinary times the men numbered 55C As she was built several years ago, i is Trobable her crew was not up t the full complement.

Two thousand French cuirassier have distinguished themselves by; daring feat in swimming the river Lys where it flows deep and swift. The. completely outwitted the Germanm who were awaiting them on the othe side with machine guns and heavy al tillery. The French horsemen made a lon, detour during the night.

GERMANS ARE REINFORCED Will Attempt to Resume Offensive To. ward Calias or Some Other Fron tier Point. London.-Two important successes in the battle of Dunkirk and Callas, for the possession of which the Germans are striving, are credited to the Allies 'in the official communication issued in Paris. The French are said to have re-occupied Armentieres, an import ant railway junction on the Belgian frontier northwest of Lille, and to have repulsed an attempt of the Germans to cross the River Yser, which flows .through that little corner of West Flanders which is all of Belgium that remains in Belgian . hands. That would mean a check to the German at. tempt to reach Dunkirk by the coast route. The French also are said to have pushed back still farther the Ger man army which is advancing along the Belgian frontier to the coast. The battle which culminated in Armentieres again coming under French influence lasted for a week. The fighting was hard and continuous. The town was seized by the Germans last week owing to Its importance as n, a railway center. Besides it is on the s- road to Lille, which the Germans still a hold. The battle opened with a cav :a alry which gradually developed, Indi ie cating that the French are advancing u- in force toward Lille. The Allies also have advanced north of La Bassee a- Canal, between that line and Arras le and at certain points between Arras to and the Ose. This latter is a rather ir- long front but the claims in the >y French official communication are ta 'I .ken here to mean .that the German h, movement westward has been check 's ed. The Germans are bringing up ie reinforcements, seemingly determined to resume the offensive either toward d Calais or at some other point of the e- long froat. Berlin says it is known where these new troops are going and it is thought here that It probably will be several days before the Germans make their presence felt. )e In the center and the Vosges the in situation is stationary. This is not accepted here to mean that no fight >e ing Is taking place and It is ccasider Ln ed likely that the battle on the Alsace )r frontier, which has been proceeding e several days, has yet to reach its end. p. The Germans have established civil ad administration in the greater part of e- Belgium and are said to have demand. ed war levies. Again the Russians and the Aus .trians flatly contradict one another as ie to progress of events In the East. n. The Austrians claim the operations rare progressing favorably for them, te while an official Petrograd report re ld ceived says attempts by the Austrians o. to cross the River San failed and that i in fighting south of Przemysl, which ~.took the form of bayonet charges, they r, captured 15 Austrian officers and 1,000 i. men. 5e It would appear from reports of correspondents at Petrograd that the id Germans made repeated attempts to al cross the Vistula at Josefow, but were re driven back with heavy casualties. ' The correspondents say the fighting was part of the general attack on the eC Russian position upon the Vistula and flthat they proved a failure. British and French fleets and the .s Montenegrin army are attacking Cat taro, the fortified seaport of Austria in Dalmatia, the first sortie from which the Montenegrins claim to have re h pulsed. e. Throughout their sphere of opera bE. tions, Servian reports say, the Sercians C are sweeping everything before them.

Senator Ti Bankhead advocated the idea of V issuing $25,000,000 4 per cent V bonds to finance the cotton crop, s' and said that if South Carolina would take the lead he thought r other states would follow. He , T said that the bonds could not be ci sold, but they could be used~n secure reserve Aldrich-Vreeland li currency to the extent of 90 per tj cent of Their value and they i could be carried by means of a tax on cotton, and the -whole 1 thing could be managed through di a state-operated warehouse sys- di tem.
