ing the fact that Fochs battle has
reached it's climax. Within brief pc

sectors. Is breaking down completely
at others.

No Sparta nbura Fair.

Spartanburg.-At a meeting OF the
directors OF the Spartanburg County
Fair Association, II was decided not
to hold the annual fair OF the associ-
alton this fall. This decision was
reached by the directors only after 1t
was thought that a first.class fair
could not be held at this time. The
view was taken by these officials that
the people were at this time too much
interested in the war to take the nee.
essary time to prepare the exhibits in
the proper manner.

WASHINGTON VIEWS.

Washington, Sept. lS.-It has been
limited in military circles for some
months that this autumn would be
a major operation on the Mace
donian front and from newspaper
dispatches of the past few days 1t
appears that it began. 1t is not pos
sible for military reasons to give the
number of men intended to partl-
cipate in this movement its object IS
clear to cut off Turkey from the
other central powers, to crush
Bulgaria and to free Serbia, Ru-
mania and the Jugo-Slay OF south
ern Austria.
1t is no surprise then that the al
lies now OF the Serbs are lighting
gallantly for they are at last near
their homes and are lighting tor the
restoration OF their native land. Inc
Bulgarians already are having trou-
bic among themselves and with
Germany, Turker and Austria. In
some quarters it is believed that as
tnev see the fortunes OF war mov-
ing against them, they may desert
their allies and sue Tor separate
peace, trying to save as much OF
their acquired territory as they can.
The Bulgarians have killed many
thousands OF Serbs and Rumanlans
but the forces of the entente are
assured that the ardent support OF
the people who have survived the
massacres. Moreover, the Jubo-
Slavs in southern Austria are only
waiting an opportunity to JON the
allies and free their homes from the
woke OF Austria.
