the Kaimakcalan chain in Macedonia.
On the Kaimakcalan plateau itself
the Serbians were able to push for
ward to a depth of from 200 to 800
meters. according to another dispatch
from Saloniki. Their advance was in
the face of strong Bulgarian resist
ance. The Bulgarians had just re-
ceived fresh reinforcements at this
point.
The other positions which block the
Serbs progress are located in the
Bahia mountain range on the opposite
side of the valley. These positions
also must be reduced before Bulga-
rian resistance may be eliminated

WHISKEY is SEIZED.
Nincty-six Packages of Liquor Taken
Charge OF by sheriff.

Augusta. Ga. Sept. 24.-Ninety-six
packages of whiskey were seized at
the office Of the Southern Express
Company by Sheriff J. r. Plunkett
and his deputies. The officers state
they will confiscate the contents of
the packages.
From information given out by the
sheriff. il seems that a stranger here
purchased 100 express money orders
on August 81. The money orders were
made out with fictitious names.
The whiskey was ordered and II ar
rived on August 2S. and since that
date IT has lain in the express once
uncalled for. The sheriff believes 1t
was the intention OF the man who
bought the orders to sell them TO pur-
chasers who could impersonate the
names on the packages and thereby
have the LIQUOR delivered to them.
