ROCNANIANS INVADE
TERRITORY OF ENEMY
Cross Danube to Garry Fight Into
Bulgarian Country.

The Roumanions have invaded Bull
g2ria.
On the Danube between the fortified
towns of Rustchuk and Turtukai,
where the river begins its bend north
eastward, leaving Bulgarian territory
and separating Roumania proper from
Dubrudja, the troops of Roumania
have made their way to the southern
bank of the stream.
Just how many men were thrown
across the river is not disclosed in
either the Roumanian or German Off
cial communications, but the stragetlc
value of the manoeuvre seemingly is
tWo-fold.
Ninety miles eastward from Turtu-
kai which lies at the western ex-
tremity of southern Dobrudja, is
arna, BulVgaria's chief seaport in the
Black sea. If sufficient men have
crossed the river and are sent along
the Dorbrudja-B Bulgarian frontier to-
ward Varna, not alone would the
seaport be in danger, but the move
would constiutute serious menace to-
ward the isolation of the German,
Bulgarian and Turkish forces operat-
ing against the Roumanians to the
north.
simultaneously with the announce
ment of the crossing of the Danube,
comes report of the Bucharest that
a fresh attack along the entire front
in Dobrudja has resulted in the de-
feat of the center and right fianks
of the troops of the Central powers.
In Transylvania the Roumanians
on both sides of the Great Kukel
river have advanced against the Teu-

The fighting in Calicia with Lem

the Brody-Zlochoff road the Teutons

urday, according to both Berlin and
Vienna, and made prisoner 2,3O6 Rus

Little additional news of the fight

ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE
BORDER BE a NEWBERRY BOY
The Soldier Boys of single SAM on
Il 209-Mile "Hike" to be Walked
i'm Fifteen Days, which, as Bug
Ter Dennis of the Signal Corps
says, is "SOme Walk"

Carol NJ. Dennis has written anoth-
er letter home 1t has been our priv
lege to read the letter, from which
we gather some notes for the informa-
ton and pleasure of our readers. The
letter is dated Fort Bliss, Texas, Sep
tember %, written in the camp Of the
Machine Gun company, 1st S. C. regi-
ment Of which he is a member.
Among other remarks Carol tells
it that he has to be up "at 4:30 every
morning now, as We are in the midst
of a series of sham battles" That
was preceding the trip up the Ris
Grande. Then he shows an eye for the
beauties CT nature as follows: 81 wish
you could have seen the sun rise this
morning. 1t was beautiful rising over
the mountain. The mountains here
are especially beautiful in the even
ing, they change so many different
colors."
After writing about the 200 mile
march, which was mentioned as start
ing last Sunday morning, he says:
"They are trying to get us back for
fair, but there isn't any chance. We
are going to get IS more recruits from
Fort Moultrie soon.'
Most of the letter is of a personal
nature all the way through, except
here and there little bit which We
extract" from it.
His friends here will be pleased to
know that he is " in good condition .
He says in one place: Another fel-
; low and myself waded out little too
, far into the rive the other day and q
Mexican soldier pulled down on US
YOU ought to seen us getting bacE
into the old U. S. A." He says he
desn't think he'll try that dangerus
prank again, as he doesn't want to bt
sent back home-wants to come back
when the time comes.
Carol is of the firm opinion that the
man who says the country out there
is civilized is far from being truth
full person. Drawing to Ia close of hi:
interesting letter he says: 81 wish
could send you a horned toad, a mule
rat or a parairie dog, or something
Everything out here has horns Of
thorns."

lad been to promote peace, and he
couldn't conscientiously endorse a
policy which he considered more
drastic than necessary and calculated
inevitably to bring about war. He re-
signed, and tht enemies Of Bryan
shouted again. This time they were
certain an open rupture had been
created between the Democratic pres
ident and the greatest individual lead
er the party had ever known. But per-
sonal relations remained friendly, and
the critics were explaining how it was
onlv on the surface and how Bryan
would oppose Wilson at ST. Louis for
the nomination.
The whole plot became apparent.
BRYAN had the one term-plank writ
ten in the party's platform, he had
cre tied an issue between himself and
tt e rreside1t-the critics Of Bryan
LAID the whclc affair open. Then
Bryan announced that he favored
Wilson for the nomination and upset
a.! the predictions. Still the critics
we're equal to the emergency, and they
remembere Parker's defeat. Then
the prediction came that Bryan would
onlv be lukewarm in the campaign,
that he. would only support Wilson
nominally. And, last Monday the
United Press sent out the following
dispatch about Bryan's part il the
campaign:
William Jennings Bryan believes
that the president will be reelected,
After a canvass of the entire political
situation, Mr.. Bryan has written

A Near-Fire Sunday Morning
written for last issue.)

Il
There came near being a fire to be
heard from Sunday morning, but the
alarm ard spread of the fire was pre-
vented by the presence of mind of
tine young lady chiefly concerned.
This young lady, who is quick as she
is beautiful, was in the stoveroom
that morning between 10 and II o.
clock, when the window curtain
caught fire by being blown to the
stove. 1t blazed up in hurry and
was looking serious, but the young
lady didn't go into Mysteries and
wiring her hands (neither the dish
toweD and look tdiotic; she grabbed
the dish pan (because it had water
in it, and threw it at the fired cur
tain as the blaze was licking up to
the ceiling. ut in throwing up the
water she also threw up knives and
forks and other things; which sounds
funny, but wasn't a bit funny to her,
as she hadn't long swallowed her
breakfast and wanted to go to
church. Finding that dishpan mix
ture was no goo1 she gathered buck
cts of water with the rest Of the fam
ily and in little while mad the IRE
~: and gone.
The damage was the destroying OF
the curtains, te burning of a chair,
a coat and a cloak (or a coat or
cloak we forget which, she looked
so pretty in telling it,. While work
ing on the fire the young lady got
her front hair singed little bit and
scorched her face; but it didn't hurt
her looks, it added to the beauty OF
her complexion, as the touch of the
heat made a glow on her cheek that
looked like the afterglow., But she
did good thing in not sending in the
alarm, las it kept the fire bugs from
having to respond and get in the way
of their going to church, along with
ether people.

BRYAN and the Administration

Orangeburg Tines and Democrat.
Our readers will recall how csany
good Democrats believed William
Jennings Bryan was trying to :nanlr
ulate the Baltimore convention to get
the nomination himself. They will
also remember how he disappointed
these adverse critics by abandoning
the instructions given him by Ne
traska Democrats and changing from
Clark to Wilson This nominated
Wilson.
Our readers will recall how every
enemy of Bryan asserted vociferous-
Il when he was named as Secretary
Of State for the new administration.
TEey declared he would want to rule
the roost, and if he couldn't he'd
break up the party. They were dis

and assisted Wilson on all the pol

beneficial legislation would nave
been impossible.
