GERMANS CLAIM ADVANTAGE.

Berlin, Nov IL. - The Aus
tro German forces in northern
Italy have cut off 10000 retreating 1tal.
ians in the upper Piave valley, the war
office announces. The Italians are
said to have surrendered.
The German statement-Bay the Teu-
ton forces have advanced from Belluno
down the river Piave and are stnding
before Feltre.
The report reads:
''The energetic collaboration OF
Wurttemburg and Austro-Hungarian
mountain troops near Longarone bar
red the way of THE enemy retreating in
the upper Pave valley.
MEN AND LOOT. TAKEN.
"Ten thousand Italians were COM
PEELED to surrender and numerous
guns material and war stores were
captured.
"Our troops who pressed forward
from Belluno down the Piave are be-
fore Feltre.

EFeltre is a town of about 1900 in

ASSOCIATED Press Summary
Italian resistance is stiffening along
the Piave line and in the Sugana val.
ley, the Austro-Germa progress is
slowing up. The invaders has not been
able to cross the Piave from around
Feltre to the Adriatic. The Vidor
bridgehead on the eastern bank of the
river was defended stubbornly by the
Italians, who finally retired across the
river after blowing up the bridge.
Violent fighting is in progress
around Asiago and the SETH Communi
to the west.
FLANK ATTACK IMPORTANT.
The permanence of the Piave line
depends mostly on the success or fail
ure of the Austro- German blow in the
Asiago region, military observers
think. The Italians are fighting hard
and the German progress since Satur-
day apparently has been appreciably
slower.

EUROPE TO TURN OUT CARS
RAPIDLY AFTER WAR ENDS
American Automobile Exports Here
after VIII BE Mostly
Chassis

Quantity production of automobiles
in Europe will be in force as soon as
peace is declared, is the prediction OF
NJ. s Keller of New York. Export
conditions will be somewhat changed
one of these being in regard to the
method Of shipping cars. According
to Mr.. Keller, one important change
will be in bodies. He believes that
most of the cars shipped after the
war stops will be stripped of bodies
and will go over to the other side only
in the chassis lie bases this on the
fact that there is such a high tariff
on cars with bodies on that the Eu-
ropean buyer will demand only the
chassis, depending on the body build
ers in his own country to take care
of that detail. With this fact in mind
he predicts that Europe will enter oX-
tensively into the manufacture Of
bodies so as to take care of this de-
mand. American parts will enter
largely into the production Of Euro
pean cars, according to Mr.. Keller.
Instead of turning out an eXposive
product as heretofore, the European
factories will invade the medium and
low priced car fields. having in view
the use of the American standardized
parts, turned out in large quantities.

Weekly Cotton Letter.

The international news during the
past week has alb been Of favorable
nature in respect to the success OF
the Allies. Ttis optomistic view
has been reflected in the cotton
market by a more confident position
and buying on the part of the trade.
Our advices are to the effect that
the advance during the preceding
week has not been the result of any
speculation, but rather on the other
hand, the trade has absorbed what
ever hedge selling that came upon
the market. Values tonight make
the highest closing that we have
made almost within a decade with
the trade generally looking for high
er prices.
As we go further into the market
ing of this crop there is no doubt
that the supply of raw material will
be more or less limited and it seems
to be not a question Of price, but
rather whether present supplies will
prove adequate to the demand for
consumption. We see no reason
why barring fluctuations, which
occur in all trading markets, values
should not seek a recurring and
constantly higher level.
Yours very truly,
Garrett & Calhoun Inc.

Our Forefathers.

(Contributed).

When we pause to think of our
forefathers having crossed the At
lsptic ocean, having laid the found
alton of this civilization in their
blood, fighting the s2anlards and
Indians, having lived in huts and
upon the simplest food, having
suffered from the cold by winter
and heat by the summer, having
died of malaria and other diseases
from exposure, when we think of
these things and then compare them
with ourselves, it is as little as we
can do to remember gratefully the
the goodness of God and expressing
it in thanksgiving and thanksgiving;
expressing it in our loyalty and de-
votion 20 the Church of Christ,
which they loved so much and for
which they nude such memorial
sacrifice. As we look back over the
pages of the past we are reminded of
the saying, Every nation that has
accumulated wealth and that did not
spend it for the propagation of
Christianity did afterward spend it
in war" Therefore let us take
warning?

Reading.
Eugene Timmons.

The art of reading is the key
which unlocks to US the vast field
of knowledge and the thoughts of
men of all ages. 1t remains with
ourselves to make it beneficial or in
furious to US. Bad habits are easi-
ly formed in reading as in anyttirg &
else, therefore it is of the great
est importance to early cultivate
taste for reading good and improv-
ing books.
Reading is to the mind what food
is to the body, may be made to de-
velop and strengthen the mind or
the reverse. What is worth reading
at all is worth reading well. 1t Is
not so much what we read as what
we remember that makes us wise
and to remember we must read with
atteption.-The Lone Star.-1aHa

Box Party For School.

An occasion of much interest to
the people of the Horns Creek Sec
ton was a gathering at the home of
Mr.. J. w. Smith ON last Friday
evening. Notwithstanding the fact
that the evening was very cold and
cloudy, both young and old from
the community there, and also rep
resentatives from other sections of
the county. Quite number were
there from Edgefeld.
The visitors were cordially greet
ed and soon made to feel at home.
The large hall and spacious rooms
with open fire places and blazing
wood fires made the home very
desirable place for such a gathering
all of whom had come for the pur-
pose of having 3 pleasant evening,
ard also to contribute to fund for
the Improvement of the school
building and equipment.
Throughout the evening there
was no lack of entertainment, con-
sisting of music, fsh.pond, cake,
walk, etc. NBonaparte crossin : the
Rhine" wss very strikingly repre-
sented in a side show presided over
by an old BLACK nanny" Would
describe this show but it might be
a secret.
According to the prices the boys
bid for the girls to walk with
them for the cake, the girls were
very popular. indeed. The boxes
were beautiful and sold for good
prices, and judging from the way
the couples were sitting around in
cozy corners eating, after, the sale,
the contents were as pleasing to the
.,;,Sss. :.
eyes.
Some of the married folks there
were as lively as the younger set
and enjoyed the evening very much.
Those who did not succeed In get
ting one of the boxes were served
with bountifully filled plates by the
hostess.
The receipts for the evening were
over seventy dollars, all of which
we believe will he we'll used for the
good OF the school, which is pre-
sided over by Miss Pearl Mayhem,
who is making herself popular
among our people.
We hope that fate will continue
to smile upon this home, the com
munity, pupils and teacher, and
that the friendships made and re-
newed, and the dollars collected
upon this occasion, may all be a
great benefit to the school and en-
tire community.

were just wonderful.
With the most meagre stage equip

ure was the doll parade of second

Raising Day-it was an inspiring
sight to see the children headed
by negro band (brass) march
around grounds with their flags and
then form around pole to listen to
address. Miss Rosalie Brown had
raised school flag. The school exhibit
showed that some of the girls were
skiful needle-women, good cake
makers and knew all about canning
and preserving.
The boys had some exhibits of
vegetables aud corn, which were
very creditable.
The ladies had canned goods,
pickles, preserves. fancy work
galore.
Friday and Saturday nights there
was moving picture show at school.
A certain young man, past middle
age, has found the short cut to the
