City and County.
Greenville county gave an enphatl
3tamp upon Bleaseism yesterday when
the county added on something Ilk(
300 to the 400 majority of last timc
against the governor, giving Smilti
1,206 majority out of 51 boxes of thi
58 of the county with but 1,576 vote
still unaccounted for provided the to
tal vote given to these boxes wa
cast, a thing very doubtful in view o
the way the other boxes tallied.
The county ticket to all appearanc
es at a late hour last night gave ev
ery indication of being about 1,00
short.
Of the 9,729 registered voters i
the county, it was possible last nigh
to count over 8,509, a little more thai
1,000 short but It is possible that son
of the voters did not cast their bal
lots for candidates who had no op
position.
The 51 boxes accounted for las
night, showed that Smith had recei
ed 1,352 votes while Blease had re
ceived but 4,146, a majority of 1,20
or something like 800 over the mr
jority of Jones In -the 1912 election.
A source of pleasure to the ant

army in Belgium have suffered a se
rious reverse, according to the oill
cial aunouncement issued by the a
French war ofice, in the battle line di
(which extends from Mons to the Lux- F
emburg frontier. several army corps, it
composed of both British and French,
took the offensive on Sunday against
the Germans, but their plan of attack
failed, owing to the "unforeseen dill- ti
culties" as described by the oflicial
statement and the troops retired on i
the covering positions:
'The losses on both sides are, report
ed as extremely heavy and the Frnch e
ofilcials describe the Germans as be- b
ing obliged to establish themselves in 11
fresh positions in Lorraine.
The French have abandoned those
portions of Alsace and Lorraine which 9
they previously had occupied, and nowI
look for heavy fighting in French ter
ritory.
IDetachments of German cavalry, op
Crating on the extreme right. have t
reached Rlouhaix, a few miles north of
iblle. This territory is defended only
by reservists. 1
At Tsing--Tau, capital of Kiao
Chow, the German protectorate in
Chint, the German forces have pre
pared for a bombardment by the .a
panese fleet by dynamiting all the tall
structures there which might be used
by the attacking forces as sighting
points. They also have taken all pos
sible ieas'ures to oppose the advance
of a Japanese field armny.
