A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is a necessity of life,
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-
tenn makes it hard to loosen its grip
even when one realizes its injurious
effects.
A lady writes: at had used coffee
for years; it seemed one of the ne
cessities of life. A few months ago
my health. which had been slowly fall
ing, became more impaired, and
knew that unless relief came from
some source I would soon be a physt-
cal wreck
ct was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches, no ambition, and felt tired
of life. My husband was also losing
his health. He was troubled SO much
with indigestion that at times he could
eat only few mouthfuls.
Finally we saw Postum advertised
and bought a package. followed di-
rections for making carefully, and
added cream, which turned it to the
loveliest rich-looking and tasting
drink ever saw served at any table.
and we have used Postum ever since.
sT gained five pounds in weight in
as many weeks, and now feel We'll
and strong in every respect. MY
headaches have gone, and am new
woman. My husbands Indigestion
has left him. and he can now eat
anything"

Italy has reiterated it's urgent de-
mand for satisfaction to the Sublime
Porte for the forcible removal of G. A.
Richardson, the British consul at Ro-
deida, from the Italian consulate,
where he had taken refuge, and for his
immediate liberation. 1t is understood
that Germany has advised the Con-

Italy's demand and thus avoid compli-

large portion of the city was said to
have been destroyed by the fire OF
the Austrians. When war was de-
clared the Servian government moved

later went farther south of Nish,

Admits Loss of Belgrade.
The abandonment of Belgrade by
the Austrians is acknowledged in an
official statement given out at the
Austrian army headquarters The
statement says that the retirement
of the right wing involved a change
in the military situation which made
it advisable to abandon Belgrade
which was evacuated without a fight.
which was evacuated without fight
The most striking feature of the
official news is the candid admission
by the Austrian government of the de-
feat of the Austrian army in Servia
and apparently of the abandonment
of it's third attempt to invade the ter
ritory of its small Slav neighbor.
While attributing the failure to the
enemy's superior force, as all govern
ment bulletins explain failures, the
Austrian war office announces plainly
an extended retirement and heavy
losses.
Servian Rally Wonder.
The marvellous recovery of the Ser
vians and their defeat of four Aus
trian army corps which had penetrat-
ed half way across Servia, remains the
wonder of military men. The crown
prince, in an address to his troops, told
them that they had beaten and
pushed the enemy with rapidity un-
heard of in military history" l
The shattered Austrian right wing
crossed the Drina into Bosnia, where
it was attacked by the Montenigrins
near Veshegrad and had to leave an
other toll of prisoners, killed and
wounded and war material The pur-
suing Servians also picked up another
five thousand prisoners and some guns
and munitions.

SLAVS HIT GERMANS
The Five Columns Which Threatened
to Capture Warsaw Have Now
Retreated to Westward in
South Poland.
Summary Of Events.0

The offensive movement of the
French and British has become
general and is being pushed with
stronge forces, particularly in
Flanders, the Argonne, the Woe
vre and Alsace. While the
French claim to have been sue
cessful at all points except at
Steinbach, in Alsace, the German
official report says the Allies at
tacks have been unsuccessful at
several places.
On the whole, however, it would
appear that the Allies, who now
have a superiority in numbers as
well as in artillery, have succeed
ed in making some progress and
have withstood vigorous counter
attacks delivered by the Ger
mans.
Germans Will Resist.
The fact that the Allies are in pos
session of Hollebecke, in Flanders,
and that heavy fighting was going on
again shows that they have made an
appreciable advance in the last few
days, as last week they were being at
tackled by the invaders two miles to
the west of St. Eloy, which is on the
Ypres-Armentieres Road.
1t is evident that while the Germans
are prepared to offer stubborn resist
ance to attempted advances in the re-
gions mentioned in the official COM
munications they expect the main at
tack of the Allies to be made in an
other direction or are themselves pre-
frr fnr ha
gathered considerable forces at Cour-
trai, from which point they could be
quickly transferred either to Flanders
or southwark across the French from
tier
Allies on Offensive.
Both the German and French off,
cia1 reports continue evidence that the
Allies offensive movement is begin
ming to gather impetus and is meet
ing with stubborn resistance from the
German troops, who have been left to
hold the Western line while their com
rades are battling with the Russians
in the East The French have been
particularly active in the Woevre re
gion, where they have been trying to
cut off the German force which pro-
jects like an arrow head to St. Mihiel
on the Meuse.
The troops in France and Belgium
are suffering from a plague of mud
and damp, which causes them greater
discomfort than did the cold wave at
the end of November.
More Fighting Around the Ypres.
The German report shows that Gen
eral Joffre's men have reached point
midway between st. Mihiel and Pont
a-Mousson, as they must have got
across the German line of communi
cations, but they lost six hundred men
in prisoners and large number ot
killed and wounded.

Germans Admit Retreat.

Retreat of the German forces which
attempted to strike at Warsaw from
the north was acknowledged in an Of
fetal communication given out at the
German army headquarters.
The Austrians have succeeded In
again crossing the Carathians, and,
according to their account, are driving
the Russian left back toward the River
San This army, assisted by German
reinforcements, has undertaken the
rather difficult task of forcing the Rus
SLAMS to withdraw from in front of Cra-
COW and also of relieving Phyzemysl.
The Austrians apparently have met
with at least partial success.
Austrians Capture 81 900.
An official communication issued at
Vienna says the Austrian offensive in
Western Galacia has compelled the
enemy to retreat and his front in
South Poland to waver. Austrian
troops, advancing from the south,
reached Jaslo and Rajbrot. In this
advance and the last battle they took
thirty-one thousand Russian prisoners.
Driving Germans Back.
The Russian forces which checked
the German advance in Northern Po-
land are now in full pursuit of the
army of General Francois, which con-
tinues to retreat toward the East
Prussian Frontier. An official state
ment issued at Petrograd asserts the
Germans are being driven back in the
direction of Mlawa, which is only eight
miles from the German frontier.
Slavs Block Advance.
OF the five Austro-German columns
which for some days appeared to be
making steady progress in their in
vasion of Poland, three have suffered
checks, according to the official re-
port from Russian headquarters. The
column which was making a down
ward stroke from Mlawa, on the east
Prussian frontier, and which was re-
ported in one dispatch from Petrograd
to be within fifteen miles of Warsaw,
was repulsed after an energetic often
sive, and under counter attacks from
the Russians, was compelled to retire
at some points.
Germans RepuIsed.
The attacks of the main German
column which had it's front on the
line between Lodz and Lowicz, and
which came down diagonally from
Thorn, we're delivered with great
| force, but, according to the Russian
account, were repulsed with heavy
| losses to the invaders. That the Ger
| mans attached great importance to
| the success OF their attack here is
shown by the fact that in the two
| days they faced the Russian trenches
| seven times and were driven back by
| a murderous fire.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

Capt. Leslie Mcmillan and Coach
Williams, of the Clemson Football
Team, visited Mr.. and Mrs. ]. L. Nc
MILAN on Friday. They were on
their way to Athens to see the Au-
burn-Georgia game. Mr.. Williams
besides being an expert Coach for a
football team, is charming gentle
man, and we hope to have him visit
our city again, when he has longer, to
stay. e. .',''s... rs !. -;
Leslie Mcmillan is winning high
honors at Clemson. DR.. Riggs told
us in Columbia that he was one of the
finest young men who had ever at
tended Clemson, that he stood well
in his classes, held high military hon.
ors, and on account of his clean
habits and manly bearing, he had a
good influence on the boys at the
institution. He is the most trusted
OF the undergraduates on the foot
ball team. He plays the game from
the word 60. He is from Abbeville,
and has sister living on Greenville
street. His young brother, Raiford,
expects to follow in his footsteps.

MCCORMICK ELECTION.

The Governor has ordered another
election in the matter of the forma-
ton of Mccormick County. The
advertisement of the election will be
found in this issue. The Supreme
Court recently ruled that the election
held last fall was invalid. We pre-
sumo that the proponents of the new
county are going to work on the idea
that the election being invalid, no
election has been in fact held, and
that valid election should now be
held.
Mccormick has a great number of
good business men, and they are back
Of the fight, and are pushing it for
all it is worth. The proposed coun-
ty will take valuable territory from
Abbeyille, Greenwood and Edgefeld
counties.
