Manning Speaks at Court House

Richard 7. Manning, candi-
date for governor, spoke in the
court house at Pickens Tuesday
morning. His coming here had
not been advt rtised. but there
were a good many farmers in
town at the time and these with
the town people made up good
audience. Mr.. Manning made
a mighty nice sre :ch and it
captivated the audience, especi-
ally the farmers, Of whom Mr..
Manning is a true friend. We
wish more farmers had been
here to hear him speak. He
talked more about the situation
here caused by the European
war than he did about politics
and his speech had a ring of sim
cerity about it that did his hear
ers good. Mr.. Manning is the
man whom the democrats of
this state can unite upon for
governor and blot out factional-
ism. He is anxious to see more
constructive legislation enacted
in this state and is in favor of
better educational facilities in
the rural districts. At the close
Of his speech he was enthusias-
tically applauded. Yes, Man
ming is the man.,

Afraid the Tueton Army Will Force
Way Into Paris.
London.-News Of the grayest char
acter came from France, where IN 8
single week the aspects of the opera
tions have changed entirely.
Last week the allied armies were
pursuing an offensive campaign on all
the frontiers Now according to OFF,
cial news received from Berlin EN-
peror William IS congratulating his
people on the success Of the German
arms in the task of putting the Iron
ring" around the allied armies from
Cambria, Department Of Du Nord,
France, to the Vosges, while Lord
Kitchener, the British War Minister,
came into Parliament with the an
nouncement that troops from India
were being called to help the British
Army in France and that the British
Army is to be reinforced Immediately.
The only consolation offered the
British public was the statement
from Field Marshal Sir John French
that in tho heavy fighting against tre-
mendous odds the British troops, who
suffered severely, bore themselves
with conspicuous bravery.
It already is realized that the ter
rible struggle Is only at Its begin
ming and that the German plan Of
campaign, openly revealed to Sir VIII
liam Edward Goschen, then British
Ambassador to Germany, by Gottlieb
Won Jagow, the German Foreign Sec
retary, as shown by the official paper
published few days ago.

RECALL ARMY FROM ALsAcE
A French Statement Says 1t Will Be
Necessary to Use Them Elsewhere
to Check the German Advance.

Paris-The war office has issued
the following official announcement:
The commander-in-chief, requiring
all available forces on the Meuse,
has ordered the progressive abandon
ment of the occupied territory. Muel-
hansen again has been evacuatd.
A new battle is in progress De-
tween Maubeuge Department OF the
Nord) and Donon, in Central Vosges.
On it hangs the fate of France. Oper-
ations in Alsace along the Rhine
would take away troops on which
might depend victory. 1t is necessary
that they all withdraw from Alsace
temporarily to assure its final deliver
ance. 1t Is matter of hard neces-
sity.
West of the Meuse as result Of
orders issued recently by the COM
manding chief, the troops which are
to remain on the covering line to take
up the defensive, are massed as fol-
lows:
The French and British troops oc-
cupy front near Givet, which they
gained by hard fighting. They are
holding their adversaries and sharp
ly checking their attacks.
East of the Meuse our troops have
gained their original positions COM
manding the roads out Of great for
est Adrennes.
To the right we assumed the Of
fensive, driving back the enemy by
vigorous onslaught, but General Joffre
stopped pursuit to re-establish his
front along the line already decided
on. In this attack our troops showed
admirable dash. The sixth corps no.
tably inflicted punishment on the
enemy close to Virton.
In Lorraine the two armies have
begun a combined attack, one start
ing from Grand Couronne de Nancy,
and the other from south Of Luneyille.
The engagement which began few
days ago continues at the time OF
writing. The sound Of cannonading
is not heard at Nancy as 1t was.
The fifteenth corps, which suffered
heavily in the last fight, had the gaps
in its ranks filled and formed part OF
one Of the two armies. 1t executed a
brilliant counter-attack in the Valley
Of Vezouze. The attitude Of the troops
was splendid, effacing all memories
of their conduct on August 20.

Paris.-The decree issued by the
military governor ordering all resi-
dents of the district within action OF
the city's defending forts to avacuate
and destroy their houses within four
days was a formal notice to inhabl-
tants Of the military zone, although
many army engineers recently made
a tour OF the environs Of the forts and
explained that tenants might be called
on to destroy property that was deem
ed an obstruction. Many houses in the
line of FIRE are occupied by poor peo-
ple.. Many of these families lacn re-
sources and will be without refuge.
Nevertheless they took. the situation
without complaint.
Preparations for an entrenched
camp also took another form. Enor-
nous stocks Of food were placed In
the state warehouses for provisioning

The Bois de Boulcgne has been
transformed into a vast pasture, filled
with COWS and sheep. The animals

tirely to sheep. The number Of sheep
pastured in the parks exceeds 10000.
