C3l)e (Efyesterfield Advertiser * VOLUME 84?NO. 47. CHESTERFIELD, S. 0., FEBRUARY 10, 1916 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE > ? A Weekly Review Of The Great War The Austrian army is sweeping down the Adriatic coast from Oattaro without encountering any serious resistance and at this rate it will not be long before Albania is practically in their hands. The Italians were depended upon to defend Albania with the aid of the Serbian solders there, since they have always regarded Albania as . . ^'kjj/hin their sphere of inlluence ' and fchev were already in possession of its chief harbors, Durazzo and Avlona. General Giovan1 ni Ameglia, who had charge of the Italian conquest of Libya, is in command of the Italian army in Albania, which includes some of the veterans of his African campaign. He was said to have at his command 175,000 Itlalian troops besides the remnants of the Serbian army which retreatI ed into Albania, perhaps a hunI dred thousand more. There was I also an Albanian force of unI known number under Essad Pa aha, wl o might be expected to defend Scutari against the Aus trims as stoutly as he did against the Montenegrins three ^B years ago. All these together with such Montenegrins as refused to surrender to the Austrims would certainly havo been Bq able to hold the Albanian mouna tains against the invaders for a time especially since Italy has I command of the Adriatic and 1 would supply the armies from | the coast while the Austrians | and Bulgars must come a long distance overland without railvJf-^iHK'vdS'Or even highways back of M. their line. Jjfc It is no wonder then that Eng land and France were shccked to rfjR hear that Italy was withdrawing ( RW her troops from Durrazzo as rapidly as possible and had apparCgently no intention of trying to ^ * /nold any part of Albania except ^ / the port of Avlon'a. The mnnijLJ tions and provisions which had Hh- been stored at Durrazzo for the campaign are being taken back ] jr. to Italy; not to Avlona as might ( have been expected. ( The British forces on the Tigris and Euphrates are in a very | critical situation. A heavy and ,' long continued rainstorm, unusual in this region, has raised the Tigris four feet and flooded the low banks on each side where ( the English and Indian soldiers are encamped. The level and barren plains adord no natural protection and elaborate entrenchments like those in Belgium are impossible. Last week we said that the relief expedition under General Aylmer had arrived at Essain, 1 49^-- within six miles of t he beleagured force under General Townshend at Kut-el-Amara. This was the statement made to I'arliment by Austen Chamberlin, Sectary of State for India, but it seems that, he was muddled in his geography for a few days lat er it was acknowledged that, a .mistake had been made in the location of / liner's army, which Was twenty-three miles ew.ty instead of six. Apparently tlu) relieving army has been held in check by strong force of Turks near Sheik Said. The Turkish a War ?dice reports that the British have been driven back several miles with a loss of thre? th lusand. If this is true it puts ^>off indefinitely the rescue of ^ general Townshend's army, which is entrenched at Kut-e Amara and surrounded by the enemy; and since this force, varionsly surmised to number between ten and thirty thousan 1 men, is altogether cut off from the base of supplies at the mouth % of the Tigris it cannot be expected to hold out very long unless it gets food and munition. The Turks report the capture of a thousand camels usod in bringing up supplies. Perhaps the pressure upon the British along tho Tigris may be relieved by the necessity of di-1 verting Turkish troops to the' Caucasian frontier where the Russians have taken the ofifen-1 siv>. The Grand Duke Nicholas was placed in command of the Caucasus when he was superseded xby the Czar as head of the < Russian armies in Europe after the loss of Poland Galicia. His : winter campaign in this new field odouh out most, promisingly by a westward drive that has brought hirn within gun-shot of Erzeruni. The Turks dislodged by a sudden attack from the p i- ] sition they have held for the i past year in the mountains near ? the border, were driven back to- ] ward Erzerum by the Cossacks, 1 who took four thousand prisoners < Ft fl virpl I A t/\ tK/\ !> ?? -w VI # Aiuvwiuiaig iu III*; 1VUN* I sian account the Turks were completely routed and abandoned tents, guns and ammunition in enormous quantities. Erzerum is the strongest fortified city in eastern Turkey and formerly stood long sieges by the Russians. Modern artillery may have made it more vulnerable. Alt.ho King Nicholas of Monte negro (led to France without concluding the peace negotiations which he had initiated, the Ausbrians found in Moi.tenegro ttfo members of the Montenegrin cabinet, General Becer and Majcr Lampar, with whom their delegates, Field Marshal von Hofer *nd Major Schnppich, arranged the terms of surrender. The British are pressing the Germans hard in the Kamernn region of German West Equatorial Africa. A Spanish olficial communication says that 900 Germans and 14,000 of their colonial troops have crossed the jouthwest border and sought asy um is Spanish Guiana, where ^:? .1 --J ? vn-io uistii iiii-u auu intern- t ill. { Except on the Western line in t France anil Belgium anil on the t Jaucasus front, little fighting of i noment is in progress in any of ( ihe war theaters.

For three days the town has reveled in intellectual enjoyment. Lectures and music, recitations and c monologues, magic and yodling 8, have drawn crowds to the audi- w torium and churches. ^ An excellent program was expected from the RadclilFe attrac- ^ bions, hut they have surpassed ^ iiur expectations. Words of f< praise and congratulation are " heard on every hand. Perhaps the most frequent expression o used is that "any one entertain- S tuent was well worth the price t at a season ticket." Two excellent sermons by Dr. h William Rader on Sunday were t: thrown in for good measure. it A review of the various forms b jf the entertainment would be si valueless- Those who attended d Jo not need to be told wherein c< they were entertained and bene- w fitted and those wno failed to at- n bend need only to be told that il tney have missed some of the keenest of intellectual enjoy- a uent and inspiration to nobler f< living. p A very valuable and lasting b iontribution to the three-day tx- H srcises was the three lectures o ;iven by Messrs. Barton, Swear- p ngen and Stevenson. South (Ja- A olina is richly endowed with tl balented speakers, but no better It !ould be found within her bor- n lers than the three gentlemen b selected by the Committee. rr Mr. Stevenson spoke in glow- \v ng terms of Chesterfield's fu- tl mre. lie urged the board of tl trade to wake up and get busy a* ind insisted on hearty co operation by a11 the citizens. All the f< speakers argued that this town tl lould be made so attractive that. <?< Jlrestertield's youths will be con- a lent to remain here rather than e ?eek their fortune elsewhere and p hat people from other sections tl nay be induced to locate here. h So thoioughly satisfactory was f< this experiment that a new con- w bvact. was made for next year ind iustead of fifteen guarantors c is for the last one, more than t twenty citizens gladly signed up g Sir next year. n The signers of the new con- g bract are: ii D- P.

TKo 1.1 ? nr iwuun nig 19 1IUII1 lillt: pCIl f Mr. T. E. Keitt, chemist for out-h Carolina Experiment Staion : The standard materials that ave formerly been used as ferilizers are both scarce and high i price. Many materials are eing pressed on the market as ubstitutes, and there is grave anger that our farmers will beome over enthusiastic and aste a considerable amount of loney at a time when they can 1 afford the loss. Such material as land plaster nd phospho-lime are being of*red at comparatively high rices. Farmers are being led to elieve that these materials will berate considerable quantities f potash from the insoluble sup!y already present in the soil. l8 a rule, they do not realize hat they have been applying ind plaster for years in the acid hosphat.e that has gone into oth home-mixed and factorylixed fertilizers. Therefore, e shuold expect that most of tie results to he derived from his material have already been coomplished. The use of grcund limestone ir the correction of acidity in he soil and for the growth of ertain legumes is highly desirble, but it cannot be considerd a "cure all", and if it is ushed to such an extent that here is considerable pecuniary iss, there is* danger that its use ^r the above named purpose 'ill be reduced in the future. Burnt lime possesses certain haracteristics, such as flocculaion of colloidal matter and ranulation of clay, to a much lore marked extent that does round limestone.

Many Southern Girls Help Their Families Nearly 50,000 girls in the 15 Southern States were enrolled in L015 in the girls' canning clubs carried on cooperatively by the State agricultural colleges and ihe department of agriculture, rhe purpose of these clubs is to mcourage girls 10 to 18 years to *row tomatoes and other vegeables in tenth-acre gardens and ;o can their products for home lse or for sale. Theso clubs are inder the supervision of nearly tOO women agents, who reprelent jointly the Oflice of Extenion Work, South, of the States delations Service, and the exension department of the several Slate colleges. During the first year memberhip, those in charge find that aring for one crop, preferably omatoes, in a tenth-acre garden nd selling or canning the proluct, gives even a very amhitius girl all the work she can do, n the second and later years, lowever. the girls are encourged to raise two or three difi'ernt kinds of vegetables in their dots and to extend their canling operations, as their skill ;row8, to other surplus products f the farm, and especially to )\p nntt.intf nn nf omoll V?IIB Up KJA. UtliUH il Ull j rchard fruits, and native wild ruits, which make a palatable r marketable product when proeased. The principal object of he club is to teach the gills ow to keep the surplus fruits nd vegetables from going to /aste, and by canning, to make hem a valuable addition to the ood supply of the farm home, specially through the winter, ilany ambitious girls, however, lot only put up enough canned ;oods and jir3 of fruit for home lonsumption, but make a tidv nonetary profit besides. While he figures of profits for 1015 are lot yet compiled, it is known hat in 1014, 7,70.1 canning-club [iris who renered full reports of heir work put up 1,018,024 cans, ars, and other containers of ruits and vegetables, which vere worth, according to conservative estimates, $284,880, of vhich nearly $200,000 could be j :redited to profit. It is estimat-j id that the average profit per nomlipr wna MO 'I'liooo licr-! ires of course, do not include :he products of many thousands ! )f children who failed to send in iccnrate reports but who, it is tnown, raised and canned thousands of dollars worth of products irom their own gardens and from dieir faithers' truck patches. Many of the better-trained dub members, not content with die raising of gardens during :he summer, have taken up gardening in the winter where dimatic conditions were suit-1 ible. Many of them are grow ! ing such vegetables as spinach, | lauliilower, lettuce, endive, as-1 paragus and celerv, some of which were entirely now to the ^irls who have taken them up. Here is the 6tory of an 11 year3ld Virginia club girl who, 011 November 16, 1014, began a winter garden 20 feet wide and 50 feet long, which was a part of her tenth-acre garden cultivated the previous summer.

The scenes of the fifth episode, apearing next Tuesday evening, move from a fashionable New York reception hall to Chinatown, the scene of many unsolved murder mysteries. It will be remembered that it was amid these scenes that Elsie Segal, the beautiful mission worker met her fate some vears ago.
