ION THE WAR PATH"

Miss Carrie Cochran, the very pro
ficient linotype operator and news
gatherer of the, Press and Banner,
is spending a few days near D. W.
visiting relatives land eating fried
chicken and watermelons. (She told
is that they had late patch of the
latter before she left.) No doubt
Miss Carrie will return to US next
week feeling much improved, as we
understand that she has been on the
Job for some spell without vacation.
And a vacation is something that a
woman (in our estimation) has to
have. We came near forgetting to
mention that she was accompanied
by the keyboard artist of the Me-
dunn, who, we understand, also need
ed rest. We do not know whether
to expect copy Of that valued sheet
or not.
Thanks, for your attention.

GOING TO TAKE A LONG
VACATION NOW

Louis Smith got tired of working
down at the cotton mill the other day
and decided that he would take a va
cation. Now rest is all right in its
place, especially for tired editors.
But idleness proved to be the root of
all evil, so far as Louis was concern
ed. His was restless idleness. ..
The trouble was that Louis salary
stopped when his rest began. And
neither the Lord sends or the devil
brings any food when Louis can't
pay the grocery bill. So he put on
his thinking cap and figured out that
the ten dollars that Jennie Lou john
son, another negro, had put in her
stocking after a hard weeks wash
ing would just about buy him a good
meal and two tickets to the Palm
Garden in Harrisburg. So Louis po-
litely walked into Jennie's house and
Hunned the ten bucks.
Louis had also been reading a de-
tective story and appropriated pis-
tol he found in a drawer. But sher-
iff Burts and officer Jones decided it
was not for the best health of the
community that he have it and kept
it for the county, when they arrest
ed him shortly afterwards. Though
he says he did not take the ten dol
lars and the officers could not find
it, Judge Hollingsworth bound him
over to court on the charge of lar
cency. Louis will probably spend a
long vacation on the chain gang.
But, oh Law wha's dat rest!

"Dry" Measure
Seems Likely
Agreement Reached to Have Pro-
posed Prohibition Law Effective in
July Instead of January.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Nation-
wide "bone dry" prohibition, effec-
tive July 1, 1919, and continuing
during the war at least, loomed to-
day as a strong probability through
compromise in congress.
An agreement for passage of leg
islation to stop sales of all intoxi-
eating beverages on that date, lead
ers of both wet and dry factions in
the sepate st tied tonight seemed to
be in sight President Wilson was
represented as not opposing the leg
islation and senators believed the
house would accept the proposal un-
der negotiations. A definite "gen-
tlemen's agreement in the senate
is expected in a few days.
The war time prohibition bill pend
ing in the senate came up for con-
sideration under the consent agree
ment made several weeks ago giving
it right of way until disposed of,
but was temporarily displaced while
the senate proceeded with the man
power bill. Then the leaders sup
porting and fighting the prohibition
legislation proceeded with corridor
and dark room discussions on the
compromise.
AS it now stands the bill would
stop the sale of intoxicants January
1 next. At President Wilson's sug-
gestion, according to Senator Shep-
pard, of Texas, prohibition advocates
postponement of the debate was a.
greed to. The president, it was
stated, believes additional time
should be given to financial and 9TH
er adjustments.
In today's negotiations most of the
prohibition advocates were agreeable
to fixing July 1 as the date. They
first insisted that it should be April
l but majority were said to have
consented to the later date. Oppon-
ents of the legislation were declared
to be convinced that it cannot be de-
reated and to be satisfied with the
proposed extension of time.
Formal conclusion of an agreement
is expected to pave the way for pas
sage of the bill by the senate late
this week or early next week.

Votes Give Increase
For Dial and
Cooper.
POLLOCK AND PEOPLES
IN SECOND RACE
Another Primary May be Necessary
to Decide Race For Lieutenant
Governor.

With nearly 100000 reported for
the senate in Tuesdays South Caro-
lima primary Dial continues to main
tain his. majority over Blease and
Rice, increasing his lead over Blease
22,9 ,903 votes, while his majority over
the two is 1889. Later returns re-
ceived showed Dial steadily holding
his lead and his majority may be in
creased by the votes yet to be report
ed. The last vote showed: Dial 81
6ss, Blease 34,795, Rice 1914.
For the short term a second prin-
ary will be necessary between Pollock
and Peoples. Pollock continued to
lead as additional returns were re-
ceived yesterday. The vote Pollock
,5s7, Peoples 27,s11, Benet 26,s29.
Robert A. Cooper gained consider
able ground during the day, increas-
ing his majority over his four oppon-
ents to 1858, while his lead over
Richards, his nearest opponent,
Preached $4,000. The vote: Cooper
: so, ,625, Richards 25,619, Bethea g.
O06, Duncan 963, DesChamps 504.
The status of the race for Eeuten-
ant governor is still uncertain. 1t
is barely possible that second race
is necessary between Lilies and
Wightman. Although the Orange
burg man has majority of the'votes
thus far reported it is not so large
that additional returns may not ne
cessitate another primary. The vote
shows: Lilies 43,3s5, Wightman 49,
boo, Cohen 13,477.
Indications point to second race
for railroad commissioner between
Richardson and Arnold. The votes
received yesterday placed Richardson
lin the lead with Arnold second and
Smith not far behind, with a chance
pf being in the. second race. The
vote for the first three: Richardson
k2, ,636, Arnold 1851, Smith 20,s54.
For commissioner Of agriculture
there will be a second race between
Harris and Garrison, both of Ander-
son. The vote: Harris 31,213, Gar
tison 27,584, Morrison 1892.

Violent Counterattacks
Born of Despera-
ton Fail. -.
HUN LINES CRUMBLE --.,:-
BEFORE ALLIED LINES
Hindenburs's Position Well Out
thanked With British and French
Closely Pursuing Teutoas.

The Germans facing the allied for
ces from Arras to Scissors every
where are in direct peril.
On almost every sector of the bat
tie front, the enemy line continues
to crumble before, the allied attack,
notwithstanding the violence, born
of desperation, of the counter often
sive tactics.
Near Arras the old Hindenburg
line now is well outfanked; from the
Scarpe to the Somme the hostile line
is gradually falling back while from
the south of Sommee to Scissors the
enemy front has literally been smash
ed AMI the German hosts are ap-
pareltly caught in two distinct
traps, escape from which, without
heavy losses in men made prisoner
and guns and material seems almost
impossible of achievement.
Scores of additional towns have
been captured by the British, French
and American troops, the Americans
having entered the fray with the
French northwest of Scissors while
all the old German salients in the al
lied lines now have been fattened out
and the allies have themselves dug
deeply into the enemy's terrain.
The first trap into which the enemy
finds himself is the triangle formed
by the sharp curve of the Somme
river with Peronne it's apex and with
Curlu on the Somme and Fresnes,
respectively it's northern bases. This
triangle is a little more than three
miles deep and six miles wide and in
it the Germans are fighting with their
backs toward the Somme on both
north and the east.
Desperate resistance is being Of
fered by the enemy in order that his
men may have time to reach a haven
of safety across the stream but the
British are har dafter their quarry,
and with the French little to the
south almost up to the river to aid
them by an outfanking movement,
it would seem that odds are heavily
against the Germans. .'

RoYE CAPTURED TUESDAY

The Hindenburg lines were pene-
rated Tuesday at a point east of
Heninel.
Troops of Field Marshal Haig are
advancing astride the river Scarpe
Ind are pushing forward to the south
If Bapaume. Elsewhere along the
British front their progress also con-
inues.
There has been heavy fighting at
Longueval and on the adjacent
round where the Germans launched
heavy counter attack with fresh
torces brought up especially for the
purpose from Sedan.
In the face of this counter attack
he British fell back to the edge of
.ongueval.
In the course of the night the New
ealanders, according to reports
wept around Bapaume at the north
nd reached the railyay just north of
he Bapaume-Cambrai road.
The Germans are offering stiff re-
kstance in the neighborhood of Thil-
by to the south of Bapaume.
Reports have been received from
he advanced lines that British pa
tols have again reached the outskirts
Bapaume and that there has been
rect fighting between the British
nd the Germans on the edge of the
fwn. - ~.. .-..

MEXICAN GENERAL
BRINGS APOLOGY
Government Regrets Clash With the
Americans. .Caranza Orders Mill
tary Governor to Meet United
States Army Officers

Washington, Aug. 28.-Arrival OF
Gen. Elias Gales; military governor
of Sonora, at Nogales to present pro-
found regrets of the Mexican gov
ernment for the clash Tuesday be.
tween Mexican and American troops
in the border town is expected to put
an official close to the matter. The
action of President Caranza in or
dering Gen. Gales to proceed on a
special train to the scene of the dis
turbance for this purpose was &C.
ceptedf here as a formal admission
that the blame for the affair rested
upon the Mexicans.
At tHe state department it was said
that na'oficial notice would be taken
of the clash until military authorities
had made a complete report based on
believed that Gen. Gales apologies
would be supplemented by similar
expressions through the Mexican am
bassador in Washington.
In military circles, the disposition
was to view the Nogales event as
more or less natural development
along the border which the authori-
ties on both sides have difficulty in
controlling.
At the same time there is no incli-
nation in military circles to dismiss
the matter utterly. The deaths of
one officer and one enlisted man and
the injury of 28 soldiers and civilians
on the American side furnish seri-
Gus reason, officials said, for viewing
the affair in the light of future prob
abilities. The hope was expressed
that the conference between Gen.
Gales and Gen. Cabell, would result
in a formal understanding which
would remove most of the chances
for recurrence.
Official dispatches to the war de-
partment made it plain that the Am
erican troops were not used until the
firing from the Mexican side had be-
come so general that the lsentries a.
'ong the border were in danger of
being overwhelmed. Orders have
been issued giving Brig. Gen. William
A. Holbrook, commander of the
southern department, full authority
to act along the border, Gen. March,
chief of staff said.
