] / I WAR SUMMARY. ?
Considerable gains by the allied
forces in France, on the Gallipoli
peninsula and in Asiatic Turkey are
/ chronicled by London and Paris,
while damage to Austrian positions
on the Adriatic by Italian warships
is reported by Italy. Berlin admits
the reverses claimed *by Paris?at
Neuville-St Vaast, where the Germnn?ahnvp
Inst two croUDS of houses
and the relinquishment of a sugar
factory at Souchez.
The Germans, however, claim progress
against the Russians in Galicia,
capture of many positions and numbers
of men and guns.
Gains on the western front claimed
by Paris are on the sector north
of Arras and at Neuville, where
trenches south of the "Labyrinth"
have been taken, and north of the
Aisne, where, after a bombardment,
two successive lines ^f trenches and
v several German works were captured
and counter attacks repulsed.
Germany reports the repulse with
heavy losses to the allies bf attacks
on the eastern slope of the Lorette
height.
An advance of 500 yards along a
front of nearly three miles, in which
two lines of Turkish trenches on the
Gallipoli peninsula were taken by
the allies, is reported by London
and Paris. The fighting was san
quinary,'postion after position being
taken by the allied troops and
then reverting to the Turks in furious
counter attacks. Allied w&r?
ships aided their land forces in capturing
the Turkish positions.
In the taking of Amara, on the
Tigris River, in Asiatic Turkey, the
British received the surrender of
the Governor and some thirty officers
and about 700 soldiers. In all
t that district the British took prisoners
more than 2,000 men.
The Italian naval forces have carried
out several operations against
the Austrian coast points in the
middle and lower Adriatic. They
have cut the cable connecting the
Dalmation archipelago to the Continent
and destroyed by bombardment
the lighthouses and lookout
stations of the islands. Monfalcone
also has received attention from
torpedo boat destroyers, and the
railway between Cattara and Raguso,

PROPERTY VALUES ENHANCING.
Census Bureau Makes South
Carolina Estimate.
Enhancement of South Carolina |
property values by more than $785,000,000
during the eight years be- <
tween ,1904 and 1912 is reported in <
an advance sheet from the census ?
bureau.
'The bulletin gives the "estimated
true value of all property in South 1
Carolina" on the basis1 of investigations
made in 1912,as $1,351,400,753,
which is more by some $785,547,000 i

Homicide Near Lake City.
Lake City, June 7:?Ladson McClam,
a negro, employed on the
farm of D W Floyd, about three
miles west of here, was fatally shot !
last night. Charley Nelson, living ;
on the adjoining farm of Mr F L
Floyd, is accused. It seems from
the testimony at the Coroner's in- '
I
quest held this afternoon that four (
negroes, Mott Singletary, Ladson

has visitorial and advisory powers.
It has already made a preliminary
study of the State hospital for the
insane and the penitentiary. But,
before the State-wide survey can be
undertaken in a- thorough-going
way, it will be necessary to determine
what kinds of data about institutions
will be of greatest use to the
State. To find this out, the board
and its officers are studying the reports
of a number of boards in other
States, making comparisons, etc.
Albert S Johnstone, secretary of the
board, will visit especially successful
boards and institutions in other
States to get a first-hand yiew of
their methods of work.
A survey of the penal, charitable
and correctional institutions of South
Carolina will disclose the real conditions
in them and will enable the
State Board of Charities and Corrections
to co-operate more closely with
local officials and to contribute more
effectively to bring about needed reforms
in the systems of managing
county jails, poor houses and chaingangs,
as well as in the State's penal,
charitable and correctional institutions.
The State Board of Charities and
Corrections is now in close touch
with the board of regents of the

are instituting sweeping changes
and for whom the State Board of
Charities and Corrections will,
through its fiscal agent, perform the
important service of investigating
the financial status of patients at
the hospital. Those patients who
art1 found to have means and who I
therefore should pay will l>e required
by the board of regents to pay in
whole <"r in/>art for their treatment
at the hospital.

Says the call for the conference:
"A number of speakers ' will, be
chosen to travel the various counties
of the State and speak to our
.people on the whiskey question in
South Carolina, showing how whiskey

to commit crimes and to increase
our death rate."
The call has been issued to all denominations.
Attention, Tobacco Growers.
i
1 am here to stay until the tobacco
crop is sold, if it takes until
Christmas to do it. And I want to
call your attention to one fact that
will be of great importance to you
this year and that is to let your tobacco
get ripe before gathering it.
If you lose a few leaves by waiting
don't worry about that, it will pay
you in the end.
Will be glad to advise you at any
time about your tobacco. Just drop
me a card at Kingstree and , I will
come at once.
Yours very truly,
