RESISTANCE Is FIERCE
GERMANS AND ALLIES TAKE AND
RETAKE TRENCHES.
Focs Cover Advance Of French Ma
rines Who Creep Upon the Ger
mans and Surprise Them.

mans and Surprise Them.
The German invaders are meeting
vigorous resistance in efforts to
shorten their lines and rest their
right wing further southwark upon
| the English Channel. Much fighting
is being done in the obscurity of fogs.
French marines are giving a good
account of themselves. German troops
tried surprise attack on the ma
rines Sunday, but the French force
held the field works against superior
numbers. The fight lasted all day.
A thick fog covered the entire re-
gion Monday and the marines, accus-
toned to such weather conditions,
crept close up to the German
trenches. ''No shooting was the
order; "use the bayonet!'
The marines got within thirty feet
of the trenches before they were
seen. Their coming was heralded too
late for the defenders, who we're bay
oneted in the trenches and beyond
the trenches as they ran. Four hun
dred German prisoners were taken.
One of the places where the French
had been most harassed is near the
elbow of the western line. The i'm
portant position there had been taken
and retaken frequently during the
! last three weeks. Every time the Ger
| mans had been obliged to abandon
the position they returned in force
and pushed back the French by
| weight of numbers.
The French took the position fol
the twelfth time and held 1t for ten
hours. Then came a shock Of the
human battering ram and the French
The Germans began fortifying the
place, but while they were engaged
in this task the earth heaved ano
there was a deafening explosion. The
ten hours the French held the point
had been sufficient to mine every roo
of the ground. 1t is estimated that
three German ,battalions were annihi'
lated. The strength Of the German
positions north of Roye, which facili'
| tated their movements toward Lille
is explained by the fact that they
were occupying an unfinished canal
extending as far as Reisel. The Ger
mans found in the deep, broad cutting
magnificent entrenchments.
| Officers of the Allies say they have
noted that about 40 per cent. of the
shells from German guns explode
They say also that the prodigality o.
their fire apparently has depleted the
German supply of ammunition, alsc
the intensity Of the fire lately ha:
diminished.

LONG sIEGES OF HISTORY.
Confederates Defense of Richmond
Extended Over -Four Years.

The Franco-Prussian war of 1870
II was remarkable for its seiges,
says Tit-Bits. Bazaine held out at
Metz against the Germans for nearly
two months, and finally surrendered
with 5000 officers and $4,000 men.
For this he had to submit to court
martial, and was sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment. Afterward
came the siege Of Paris, which lasted
six months. Thousands of shells
were rained on the city every day by
the Germans, and no fewer than 40,-
900 of the inhabitants succumbed to
disease and hunger. That lengthy
sieges are quite possible, even in
these days of huge guns, is illustrated
by Chukri Pasha's gallant defence of
Adrianople last year for 155 days.
Then there was the comparatively re-
cent great siege of Port Arthur in the
Russo-Japanese war in 1904-05,
which finally capitulated after being
blockaded by Admiral Togo for 210
days. The name of Gen. Stoessel
will rank with those of the greatest
soldiers of modern times.
In Ottoman and Russian military
history there has never been q siege
like that Of Plevna in 1877, when
Osman Pasha defed the Russians for
144 days, and finally surrendered on
December 10, with 10000 men and
loo guns, owing to provisions and
ammunition running short IN the
same year Kars, long the bulwark of
the Ottoman Empire in Asia, was
stormed by the Russians after siege
of five months. twenty-five years
earlier the fortress had been bril-
hantly defended for eight months
against the Russians by the Turks
under Gen. Williams, who had but
$4,000 men against $4,000.
Even these sieges, however, are
somewhat Insignificant when compar-
ed with some Others The longest
siege occurred in the Amerian civil
war, when the Confederates defended
the town of Richmond for 1,4S5 days,
or just over four years. Sebastopol,
in the Crimean war, held out for
eleven months, while Gen. Gordon de-
Tended Khartoum against the Sou
danese for 500 days. The sieges OF
Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking,
in the South African war, lasted 120,
123 and 261 days, respectively. There
is probably, however, no siege which
Britishers like to read about so much
as that carried out by France and
Spain in their endeavors to carry the
Rock of Gibraltar, 1779-S3. Alto
sether the siege lasted nearly four
years, and, as the world knows. re-
suited IN a complete triumph of Brit
ish arms, in spite of the fact that the
enemy numbered 10000 to 40,00Ol
men, while the defenders could only
1000.

W. W. Long, State agent in charge
Of farm demonstration work for the
federal department of agriculture, in
cooperation with Clemson college.
says that despite the long drought Of
last summer and the present demor-
alization due to the war, the South
Carolina farm demonstrators were ar
ranging for the largest and most COM
prehensive exhibits of farm products
ever shown at any State fair, and
possibly hte largest ever shown in
the South. The exhibits will illus
trate the growth of the work Of the
farm demonstrators and Of the people
to whom they are teaching better
methods.
1--WE will have exhibits from A.
counties in charge Of demonstration
agents." said DR.. Long. "In addition
there will be exhibits from 20 tomato
clubs, three booths from mill villages
and one booth showing the co-opera-
tive work with the churches. The
latter booth will be in charge Of the
Rev. W. H. Mills, Of Clemson col
lege."
'Of interest to stockraisers and
dairymen will be te showing of dairy
COWS and beef CATTLE" continued Dr..

bited as types of beef cattle. They

gard to feeding beef cattle and types
Of breeds.
'There will be special exhibit Of

GRAND STAND FALLS.
Eight Hundred Spectators Hurled so
Ground at Laurens.

Between twenty and thirty persons
were injured, several very seriously
when the grand stand at the Laurens
Fair grounds fell with at crash at II
o'clock Tuesday. 1t is estimated that
500 or 900 people were on the stand
when the accident occurred, and it is
little short of miracle that no lives
were lost outright and that more
were not hurt. A dozen or more OF
the injured were rushed to the Julia
Irby Sanitarium. Others were treat
ed on the grounds, while others were
taken to their homes.

Pu.blicists who have studied the
American government and comment
ed upon it have invariab bly, emphasiz-
ed in the strongest manner the i'm
portance of the town and village COM
munities as political units. The fact
probably is that our whole govern

model in the town meeting, which to-
day when properly used, provides all
the essentials of a true legislative
assembly It must be preserved If
liberty and free government are to be
preserved. The preservation Of the
local community is even more impor-
tant from a governmental or politi-
cal standpoint than from a CONNER
