 If South Carolina re-elects Cole Blease governor, the rest of the states ought to excuse her from the Union on the ground of mental insanitation and visible-to-t -the-eye insanity.
 There are others besides Cole Blease guilty of mental insanitation" but who haven't the boldness to show it as he has. For instance: Cole said he wouldn't take single step to punish the mob that lynched negro rapist. The others do not say it but just the same they do not take the steps" With all his faults Blease is an outspoken person and wears his worst traits on his "coat leeve."- Chattanooga Times.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME.

A license was granted for the sale of liquor on Chicago's new automo- bile speedway, but the management decided to keep it dry. A member of the committee thus explains the ac- tion: For the good of the automo- bile racing game and for the uplift- ing of the sport here and everywhere we have decided to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors on the grounds. Baseball would never be what it is today if 1t had not been for the pro- hibiting of intoxicants on the grounds, and we want to make a clean and pleasing start at our new speedway Beer should not be allowed on the grounds, leave alone sold inside the park, and this rule which prohibits the sale will stand as the speedway races continue-and that will be for years and years"

number of communities and
states.
This advice says: "All pas
sengers accompanied by chill
dren under sixteen years of age
who contemplate a journey
necessitating transit through
New York should provide them
selves with certificates stating
their place of departure. If
this is not done inconvenience

These certificates should be
secured from the health officers
at the place of departure.
Such certificates may be pre-
sented to an inspection officer
at any city outside of New
York"

British Attack at Daybreak.

British Attack at Daybreak.
LONDON, July IA. 1925 p.m.-At day
light this morning the British, resum-
ing the offensive north of the Somme,
attacked the German second-line de-
fenses and. according to the report OF
their commander. Gen. Sir Douglas
on a front of four miles. Press dis
patches from the front add that the
Longueval, north of Montauban, and
the remaining portion of Trones woods
were taken by the British.
While it was expected the British
would not allow any great length OF
time to elapse before continuing their
operations, it was hardly believed the
second German line would be attacked
after only one day of artillery prepa-
ration, for it was only the day before
yesterday that they completed capture
of the first line in the region between
Hardecourt and Ovillers. The direc-
ton of the attack. too. was something
of a surprise, for, instead of pushing
on toward Combles, Gen. Haig chose
to attack the flank of the Germans
who faced Contamination. and Ovillers
and those who still occupy Pozieres.
The advance to Longueval and Bazen-
Grand, if accomplished, gives
the British possession of other impor-
n l.
rections, which have been great help
to the Germans in supplying their
army directly south of the Ancre
rivers.

Second Phase of Offensive.

The British advance reported in to-
days official and press dispatches ap-
parently constitutes the second phase
of the great Anglo-French offensive
in the neighborhood of the Somme
river, which began July l over a front
of something more than twenty miles.
The first phase of this offensive car
ried the British forward to and gave
them possession of CONTAMINATION and
Montaubap, but the French on their
right moved their lines further for
ward.
The reported capture of Longueval
and Bazentin-L Grand indicates that
the British in today's assault advanced
eastward or northward from Contal-
maison or Montauban and that they
apparently have brought their right
wing on a par with the French left
and are thrusting a salient between
Peronne, the immediate French OBJ
iective. and Bapaume, the point at
which the British movement Is reported
to be directed.
