compounded annually at 4 per cent
and find 1t amounts to approximately

Now. he tells the grand jury. that
the city Of Sumter has been offered
$4,000 for the lot with enough land
added to run it back to the street in
the rear OF the opera house. 1t does
seem to me. and the whole grand jury
looked at it through the same glasses,
that IL the city could get $4,000 for
the lot with enough added to run
hack to the street in the rear. $5,-
900 for the 90xS0 foot which COM
poses the lot. as it stands is not a
sufficient compensation to the county
for it, l am satisfied the $43.S98.s9
will not pay the county for the en-
hancement in value within the next
80 years. 1t is not my disposition to
hinder or impede the city in it's prog
ress, but as grand juror. feel that
it Is my duty while serving as such,
to take care Of the interest Of the
county to the best Of my knowledge
and ability.
am sure that the other members
OF the grand Jury are actuated by the
same motive. Should we as body or
as individuals be prompted by any
other impulse. we would not be
worthy Of the trust imposed in US.
In conclusion I wish to say that, if
the city has been offered $4,000 for
the lot, provided she will secure
enough land to extend 1t back to Har-
vim street 1t does seem to me that
the lot 5Sx90 feet. as II now stands
fronting Main Street, in the imme-
diate business part Of the city. is a
very valuable investment for the
county at 5000, Notwithstanding she
does not receive revenue from 1t for
the next fOrty-three wears and Eve
months.
Very respectfully.

POINCARE ACCUSES GERMANS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-President POincare of France has cabed to President Wilson denial of the charges made by Emperor William that the allies are using dunn dunn bullets and POnCare adds to this denial counter charge to the effect that the Germans the who are guilty in this respect The French president de- careS in the Cabegram that the protest made by the Ger emperor is nothing less than attempt to shift the responsibility for using dunn dunn bullets which, POncare says have been used by the Germans since the beginning of the The protests are probably sent to all neutral countries but this the only great power which is absolutely dSnerested in political sense the warning nations look upon sort of grand pire. President Wilson probably not do any more
 than acknowledge the receipt of the protests but they have served to drive home the sad fact that the nations at perpetrate any atrocities and there is left not enough power in the world to call them to account

 ty of transport London is ubilant to see in this news the beginning of the end of the terror which the threatened German invasion had inspired All the reports coming from the front indicate that the force Of the Ger man attack has been spent and that the allied generals nave acted with supreme wisdom and skill and have com" pletely Outwitted the enemy at every point.
 The allies all the time taking the offensive all though only few days ago they retiring on Paris and all Britain expected to hear of the immediate invest men of that city Some experts believe that the Germans are now chiefly bent on gaining time until they be inforced but the attack of the French and British has become energetic that the of decisive victory is looked for at any moment The fact that Belgium still contains large force of troops who annoying the Germans in the rear and that Germany must keep large force strung out all the way from the field of the chief battle to Germany itself regarded the chief weakness of the enemys position

LONDON, Sept 1.-The news from the right wing Of inc allies this afternoon is that the Germans making headong efforts to drive wedge into the allied ranks at
 point south of Verdun and that the combat IS Demg maintained with fierce determination and slaughter that has never been surpassed The Germans advance m order in some of the charges evidently with the intention of breaking through the opposing lines by sheer Wegn' and impetuOSy bu according to all accounts the rrel' troops are fighting with magnificent steadias'eSs ano have far succeeded in fong every effort to divide he
 forces The battle in that neghbOrhOOd is described as one of the most awful of all conflicts. Both sides are tu aware that on the result may depend the fate of her re- Spectve aherandS and neither the most awful 1atgue nor the falling of their comrades by thousands reStas their headlOng assaults.

GERMANS WIN IN EAST PRUSSIA

LONDON, Sept. 11.-Similar news comes this after noon from East Prussia that has been received from Aus tran territory The Russians are also being driven oac across East Prussia by the German army which has at las arrived on the scene and which has taken the offensive with all the vigOr that marked the first assaults by the Germans in Belgium and France. If the news cOmlnt from East Prussia and Austria correct It removes th threat of the Russians to march Berlin and the fate O the war now probably depends than on the re suit of the fighting in France. It has been generally eX peced that the Germans would defeat the Russians but Il was hoped that the war in French territory had tied the hands of Germany tightly that she could hardly hope to cope with the Russian onslaught for some time at tho earliest No details of the places where the fighting took place in Austria and East Prussia have been furnished and they may not be known to the government a communication with that part of the great war arena is exceedingly difficult

spirit here" He did not get hand
for those remarks. but when he told
how the party was in the promised
land the audience got up on its hind
legs and cheered. His endorsement
of Palmer Mccormick and the rest
was by name in the adroit form OF
praise for the manner in which they
had worked for Wilson at Baltimore.
The Secretary "kidded" the club on
celebrating Jefferson's birthday on the
right day and then gave the warning
LAS long as the Democratic party is
true to Jefferson it will be safe" and
told his hearers to avoid the idea that
some men were born booted and
spurred ito ride on the backs of
others. That cryptic remark caused
grin among some of the men who
were scattered around the hall. But
Daniels swept the head table back
into the shouting when he said that
Democracy had great trinity in JEFF
ferson. Jackson and Wilson He never
mentioned Cleveland.
The Secretary of the Navy praised
the administration for securing GER
tain legislation and promised more.
He said repeal of Panama free tolls
was sure to come and that the party
was worthy of support of the world.
Taft Measure Praised.
Farmer w. t. Greasy" candidate
for lieutenant governor, said he was
so busy running the farm he did not
have time to go around and make
speeches and praised the Democratic
party for many things, including .the
inauguration of the parcel post
which. by the way, was the work of
the Taft administration. But that
didn't matter. All one needed to do
was to say Wilson and to view Reve-
nue. Collector Fritz Kirkendall in the
audience and the cheers would start.
Rumor was thick last night that reve-
nue. jobs are due to be given out here.
William II. Berry. who bolted the
party in 1910 and got a job in 1913,
vigorously proclaimed his Democracy,
said the present leaders had made a
few mistakes and told anew the story
of his days on Capitol Hill, saying he
had spent "a few weeks there. The
latter remark caused a litter as
Berry's absenteeism is one of the de-
licious memories of the State Treasury
department Then he started in to
laud Vance c. Mccormick. He lit
orally plastered him. He piled it on
and smoothed it down and then went
back and gave a fresh coat.
Mr.. Mccormick said that he was
ION the firing line" because of wi
cious assault upon the party which,
he said. II love- His speech was
prefaced by the remark that he was
glad to get home. He apparently en-
joyed very much his tumultuous
greeting and the noisy appreciation
by his followers of his presentation of
State issues-as he sees them.
Congressman Palmer followed,
praising the President as a great
leader. whaeking everyone who did
not agree with him. including Senator
Penrose and making the statement
