are quartered in the barracks which
the government soldiers recently occu-
pied. Eight special trains will leave
for the front tomorrow, carrying
reception committee to welcome Gen.
Carranza. who will assume the presi-
dency as soon as he enters the city.
The city was decorated today for the
occasion. For the first time in many
months American flags flew beside the
Mexican colors. Crowds early packed
the streets. After six hours of waiting
the people were rewarded by seeing
the front ranks of the main force or
Gen. Obregons army swing into the
Para de la Reforma and commence the
march towards the National palace.
AS the cavalry, artillery and infantry
passed the crowds Cheered. The re-
ception given the incoming army was
taken by the leaders as an augury or
the support the people will give the
new government. Gen. Obregon re-
viewed the troops from the balcony or
the National palace, after which the
soldiers were sent to the barracks. II
is expected that Gen. CarranZa, with
the main body of the army will enter
Mexico City tomorrow.

BETHEL IMPROVEMENT

An adjourned meeting Of the Bethel
Improvement association was held at
the Laney school house last Saturday
for the purpose Of taking up the busi-
ness left over from the meeting re-
Gently addressed by Col. E. ]. Watson,
ers.
The first matter taken up after the
proceedings had been duly opened with
prayer was the election Of officers for
the ensuing year, this election result
ing as follows:
Thos. n. Dulin, president.
R. ]. Davis, vice president.
H. f. Johnson, I'd vice president.
]. l. Currence, treasurer.
Hester Jackson, secretary.
Following up the suggestion made by
Commissioner Of Agriculture Watson
at previous meeting a resolution was
offered and adopted that monster
picnic be held under the auspices Of
the association on the last Thursday in
July, 1915.
Discussing the question Of relief for
the sufferers from the great storm OF
July b, II was suggested from the Hoor
that since the destruction from the
storm was more widespread in Bethel
township, and the probability Of dis
tress greater and there are people who
desire their contributions to go espe-
cially to Bethel township sufferers, 1t
might be a very good idea to designate
a special committee Of the association
to take charge Of such subscriptions
with the distinct understanding that
this committee is to conflict in no
wise with the duties Of the committee
designated by the governor to receive
and disburse contributions.
Pursuant to these suggestion a res
olution was adopted calling on the
chair to appoint committee to meet
with the sense Of the association, and
the following were appointed:
John L. Currence, A. c. Harper, S. S.
Glenn.
There being no further business the
association adjourned.

The War in Europe.

Although the cables across the At
lantic and all the other oceans are
laden with news relating to the great
European war to the exclusion or prac-
tically everything else, there is very
little in all the great mass of matter
that is being received that bears di-
rectly on the points in which the pub
lie is most interested.
What the American public is most
curious about is where in the countries
that are fighting are the troops mass
ed in the largest numbers, and what is
going on-whether great armies are in
contact, how many men on side, who
are the commanding generals and who
is getting the best and the worst of 1t,
and how the poor nom combatants are
faring. But as to these things the dis
patches are giving only an occasional
CLEAN of intelligence, and the world is
awaiting anxiously for fuller and more
comprehensive details.
From the best information obtainable
it appears that the lines Of battle eX-
tend from a short distance Of Brussels
the capital Of Belgium, on down the
boundary between France and Ger
many to the Swiss frontier, a distance
of approximately one hundred and six
ty miles Along one side Of the boun-
dary there are probably 100000 or
more Germans and on the other side
there are considerably more than p
000,0 French, Belgians and English
men. AS to whether the opposing
certain points along the line, in Brus-
sells at one end and Switzerland at the
other end is not absolutely clear; but
there is no doubt of the fact that for
days, companies, regiments, brigades
and divisions have been hurrying from
both France and Germany to meet in
deadly grasp along what has probably
already become blood drenched bor-
der.
Dispatches Of Saturday indicated
clearly that the great battle was pend
ing; but they give but little intimation
of what TO expect. There was an OIL
cial statement from London to the eff
feet that it would probably be eight
days or more before there would be
any definite and positive information
as to results. The impression conveyed
was that while the armies were hurry
ing to position, because of the extra
ordinary length of the line of battle,
many times greater than has ever been
known in the history of the world,
there would be more or less delay in
bringing the largest masses Of the two
great armies in contact, and of bring
ing about the different grapples that
would go furthest toward deciding
things.
There is no precedent in history for
such a conflict as that which is now in
progress and to work out the problem
as To how the thing will probably be
decided, can only be left to the imag-
ination. And before the imagination
can take satisfactory hold, it will have
to picture the number and condition of
the troops, their equipment, their po-
sitiOns, whether fortified or not, and
the number Of instances in which one
division Will overcome another only to
be overcome in turn by another, and
how long both sides will be able to
keep on hurling fresh troops into the
bloody shambles.

BATTLE NEAR WATERLOO
Believed That Heavy Fighting is Now
Goinq On.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Daily Express
says:
There is little doubt that a great
battle is now occurring in Belgium be-
tween the Germans and the Belgian
and French allies.
Our correspondent, in a cryptic dis
patch from Client, indicates that the
Germans are advancing on the historic
battle ground Of Waterloo, and that
events Of the greatest importance are
in progress"
A Brussels dispatch to the Daily
Mail says: Sharp fighting has been
in progress since Monday morning"
A Reuter- dispatch from Brussels
says: THE seat of government has
been moved to Antwerp. Measures
have been taken for the defense Of
Brussels because Of the approach of
German cavalry.
A Haves dispatch from Brussels
says:
1T is expected that the legations
will follow the government to Ant
werp, but the French minister will re-
main here"
The Soir says that, according to
news received Monday afternoon and
confirmed by the war office, the Bel
gian infantry, In conjunction with the
French cavalry, have brilliantly re-
pulsed a German attack. The location
Of the engagement Is not mentioned.
The Belgian ministers Of war, f.
nance and foreign affairs and the
French and Russian ministers to Bel
gium have left Brussels for Antwerp,
according to Il dispatch received here
by the Exchange Telegraph. The af-
fairs Of France and Russia were left
by their ministers in the hands Of the
Spanish legation.
A dispatch received by the Haves
agency from Brussels, gives the fol-
lowing statement issued last night by
the Belgian government
German troops which yesterday
failed in an attempt at a forward
movement, are returning today with
out fighting in the direction Of Han
nut. The reverse sustained by the
German cavalry at Halen made them
palpably more cautious both Sunday
and Monday. They are moving more
retiring without coming in
to any serious engagement. All the
our army are adopting a purely de-
fensive attitude and entrenching
themselves.
To-day passed without fighting"
The correspondent adds that accord
ing to a newspaper report a fairly i'm
portant engagement occurred in the
of Melvart, near Jo-
doigne, Sunday, in which the Germans
are said to have suffered heavily.
THE left wing Of the Belgian army.
assembled in force to cover Brussels,
has advanced from Louvain to Bey-
ard in the direction of Diest." accord
ing to the Brussels correspondent OF
the Daily Express.
The German attack at this point,
the correspondent continues Is attrib-
uted to severe losses inflicted by the
Belgians There Is no doubt also. that
.Austria's reluctance to send her prom
ised quota of troops in consequence OF
Italy's attitude. and an incipient anti .
war movement in Germany, have de-
layed the German troops advance.

Reproducing The Enquirer's para
graph about the history of the provi-
sion in the Democratic platform for
the automatic pOstpOnement OF an
election in the case Of the death or
withdrawal of a candidate the New
berry Herald and News says:
The provision to which you refer as
to withdrawal of a candidate was put
in the constitution of 1914 for the first
time. Why it was put there we do not
know 1t would be Il great mistake and
Il calamity to have any of the candi-
dates withdraw and we do not believe
there will be any Withdrawals.
our statement was made on hearsay
and we do not insist upon its correct
ness either as to the time the provision
was inserted or as to the origin of the
same. We conCede that the Herald
and News is in Il better position to be
informed on this subject than we are,
and we agree with our contemporary
in its estimate of the provision.

There have been but two contribu

There have been but two contribu-
tions to the fund for the relief of the
hail storm sufferers since the last is
sue of The Enquirer, one from Mr.. l.
b. FAIRIES of Charlotte r. F. d. No. II,
and the other from the state campaign
meeting at Greenwood.
Because of the extra burden Of chill
dren from the Church Home Orphan
age. who do not naturally belong to
the district, and the holding up of taxes
paid by the Loan and Savings bank
under protest, the outlook is that the
Yorkville Graded school is going to be
hard pressed for funds next year. To
maintain the school even up to the
standard that has obtained heretofore,
will no doubt be difficult.
A terrific world war and hot political
campaign to the contrary notWith-
standing, the people Of York county
who have not already taken up the
matter Of sowing legumes for winter
cover crops, spring forage and enrich
ing their lands, should take time to
give the subject attention, not as a
side issue; but rather as the main
thing now worth while. No matter
how the European war or the political
campaign turn out, good crops Of le-
gumes will pay their way on the farms
and convince the farmers that they are
worth while.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-08-18

cial and particular weight to an ap-
peal on the plea Of his rapidly passing
days was on the occasion Of his debate
with Mr.. J. S. Brice at TirZah some
seven or eight years ago in an effort
to prevent the voting of the abomin-
able dispensary out of York county.
The people paid no attention to the
senator on that occasion and they have
not yet felt any serious regret on ac-
count of their failure to do so.
If the senator had not so timed the
publication Of his Ferguson letter OF
two years ago as not to give the people
time to recover from their dumb found
ed amazement and doubt as to the
genuineness of the thing-whether II
was only trick of the opposition-he
would not be writing his present let
ter. He would have been retired then'
AS we have said before, Senator Till
man has done much for South caro-
lima, especially in arousing the people
to a knowledge of the power that lay
in their ballots; but we are OF OPINION
that he has long since received his full
reward in double measure, and any
debt of gratitude that may have eX-
listed has been discharged.
If the senator's comparison Of HIM
self with Governor Blease were not so
pitiable, it would make us laugh. There
are differences to be sure; but pollti-
cally speaking these differences are not
essential-at least not so far as they
have developed.
After Tillman had acquired the pow
er and influence that he speaks OIL
which was sufficient to make him an
autocrat, he began to forget the bridge
by which he had been enabled to cross
the stream, and as the people began 10
realize the fact they were slowly wean-
ed away. If Governor Blease has sim
ned, or is SHINING in the same manner
his punishment will be the same as that
which is being suffered by Senator
Tillman and it will not be so long COM
ing. mai,
There is one thing in Senator Till
mans address with which we agree
more strongly than anything else ala
that is every mans ballot is his own
and likewise his opinions and Whether
or not our readers care to heed any
thing the senator is now saying is a
matter for them alone to decide. II
every man does exactly what he wants
to do, even though some do one way
and some another, all will be right.

We quarreled at the new enrolment
legislation for fear that many voters
would be disfranchised; but now since
the figures show that the enrolment
of this year is much greater than the
vote of two years ago, we have no fur
ther quarrel. However, we have moth
ing TO take back. The main purpose of
our criticism was to stir the people OF
this county to enroll, and we feel that
what we have had to say has helped
in that direction.
