HARD FIGHTING STILL
RAGING ON FRONT
BATTLE EXPECTED TO BE LONG
AND BITTER ONE. GERMANS
FOUGHT TO A STANDSTmL.

The British lines on the Lys front
near the Franco-Belgian border are
holding well against the terrific drives
which the Germans are continuing to
make upon them.
Fought to Standstill.
All around the sweeping semi-cir-
Gle threatened by enemy attacks to
the southwest of the Messines Ridge
positions he was fought to a stand
still yesterday and last night and in
some localities the British positions
were improved by counter-strokes.
At only one point did the defense
give way in the least. This was at
Neuve Eglise, on the extreme lower
edge of the Messines spur, where the
British withdrew from the village.
For Hazebrouck.
Large results hinged on the battle
further within the salient, in the
Merville sector, where the Germans
have effected their furthest west
ward penetration. They are pushing
here for Hazebrouck, occupation of
which would cut off important rail
way connections of the British and
make the holding of the line to the
northeast extremely difficult.
The Germans displayed their ap-
probation of this by attacking no
less than seven times in the Merville
region.
The Germans similarly have been
fooled in the effort to push in furth-
er in the Bailleul region and this i'm
portant town is still in British hands.
Turning Point Reached.
The war department at Washing
ington, in it's weekly review of the
military situation, says the Germans
have failed in their purpose to
achieve victory in the field, and will
soon be forced to resume their old
tactics.
The review warns, however, that
the Germans have scored distinct ad-
vantages which it would be very I'M
wise to endeavor to belittle.

RECITAL BY EXPRESSION
CLASS HIGHLY PLEASING
Large Audience Enjoyed Splendid
Program Friday Evening.

The recital at the school building
on last Friday evening by the pupils
of Miss Willis class in expression
was a great success from every
standpoint.
The auditorium was comfortably
filled with most appreciative audi
ence, and the young entertainers
were roundly applauded. With one
or two changes the program printed
in the last issue of The News was
beautifully rendered. The costuming
of the actors was very artistic, and
each number was so cleverly present
ed as to keep the audience highly
pleased from start to finish
Miss Willis, the gifted and re-
sourceful teacher, deserves much
credit for her efforts in the training
Of the girls and boys to such eff
cheney in the art to which she is de-
voting her best energies.

TO PREVENT CONFUSION AND
MISUNDERSTANDING IN Sc
LECTION OF DELEGATES. THE
RULES SLIGHTLY CHANGED.

The briefest and probably the most
amicable meeting of the Georgia
democratic executive committee
since the first organization of that
body was held Thursday in Atlanta
with perhaps one-fourth of the men,
bers present.
The only matter of moment to be
considered was the adoption of the
rules governing the forthcoming pri-
maries, and these, as drawn up by
Albert Howell, Jr., were seconded by
H. H. Dean, of Hall county, and
adopted unanimously, without debate.
The committee adjourned within
thirty minutes from its assembly.
Mr.. Howell explained that the rules
of the former committee had been
followed exactly except for one or
two changes designed to clear up
misunderstanding which previously
had existed.
Delegates to State Convention.
One of these was clause covering
the appointment of delegates to the
state convention. AS adopted it read
Each county democratic executive
committee shall select from among
the friends and supporters of the
successful candidate for governor in
each county delegates to the state
convention in the ratio of two for
each of said county's representatives
in the general assembly, with alter
mates; said delegates to be named
by said successful candidate for gov
ernor, and if not so named to be
chosen by the respective county COM
mittees from among his friends and
supporters, and said delegates shall
be instructed to cast the vote of such
county for the successful candidate
for governor, United States senator,
state house officers, including JUS
tees of the supreme court and court
of appeals judges, etc.
1T shall be the duty of each coun-
ty chairman in advance of the con-
vention to furnish the secretary of
this committee with the names of
the delegates and the alternates APP
pointed; and it shall be also the duty
of such chairman to provide such del
egates and alternates with written

$500 PEOPLE saw
WAR TRAIN MONDAY
GREAT CROWD CAME TO DAW
SON TO SEE RELICS FROM
EUROPEAN BATTLEFIELDS.

If the patriotism of Terrell county
is to be judged by the reception given
the liberty loan war train Monday
morning it is certainly at high tide,
for long before the time for the ar
rival of the train hundreds of auto
mobiles full of people were rolling
into Dawson from every direction
and scores on foot crowded the
streets.
The train, which was scheduled to
arrive at $50 o'clock, was on time,
and remained here only two hours, SO
it was simply impossible for hun
dreds to get any idea of the interest
ing exhibit There was not only a
crush inside the train every minute,
but all about the station people were
crowding each other so that num-
Der were overcome and had to be
carried out of the throng and reviv-
ed.
The white and colored schools were
out in full force, and people from
several adjoining counties came in
large numbers.
There were many interesting SOU
VenIfS from actual battleneldS, and
speakers who rescribed in a very en-
PERTAINING way the uses of these
weapons of warfare The collections
were displayed to good advantage
but the crowd of $500 or more peo-
pie was just too big to handle in the
limited time, and hardly anybody has
more than vague idea of what was
carried.
The trained speakers accompany
ing the exhibit to give the details
did their part all right, but the NOV
ing throng was pressing so hard or
all sodes very few heard what al
would have been glad to know. The
crowd has been variously estimated
but all agree that it was one of the
largest ever seen in Dawson. Every
one who went down seemed to be
overwhelmed by the magnitude of the
occasion.
The liberty bond boosters got il
their work and subscriptions to the
amount of $500 was reported as 2
result of few hours canvassing.

NEWS NOTES AND PERSONAL
MENTION FROM BRONWOOD
Entire School Faculty Accepts For
Another Term. Revival Closes.

Our entire faculty have accepted
their positions in the Bronwood
school for 1918-19. They were elect
ed by the board of trustees in March.
There has been absolutely no friction
in our school for the past two years
and we, as a town and community,
are proud that all the teachers have
agreed to return to us for the coming
school year.
The Bronwood and Pleasant Hill
girls played an interesting game of
volley ball on the Pleasant Hill court
Saturday afternoon. Both teams did
good work. Bronwood won three in
nings out of five, but Pleasant Hill
scored one more point than Bron-
wood. A large crowd witnessed the
game.
The meeting at the Methodist
church closed Friday night Rev. Wal
ter FINLEY did some very strong
preaching. We feel that lasting inn
pressions for good were made.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Brunswick, of
Cordele, and Mr.. Ed Davis, of Amer
icus, and Mr.. Thomas Davis, of Ma
con, have been visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Ross Davis.
Mr.. E. P. Cox, of Atlanta, has
been visiting relatives here for the
past week.

birth of a son.

THE STATE PRIMARY IS
SET FOR SEPTEMBER 18TH

credentials; provided no county shall
be entitled to more delegates than
votes to which it is entitled in the
convention, with like number of al
ternates."
Senator Has No Power.
1t will be observed that this rule
gives the power of appointing con-
vention delegates to the successful
candidate, in each county, for gov
ernor, the successful candidate for
United States senator having no voice
in such appointments, although the
approaching race appears to center
in the senatorial contest. However,
the rule providing that the delegates
be instructed to cast the vote of the
county for the successful candidates
in each county would leave the dele
gates powerless to oppose the will of
their county-on the first ballot in
the convention.
The rules of the old executive COM
mittee and the law of 1917, the Neal
act, were followed by the 1918 COM
mittee These set the date of the pri-
mary for Wednesday, September II,
provide that the unit rule shall pre-
vail inviolably in making nominations
of candidates for all offices filled by
statewide VOTE" and provide that eff
any two persons receive or are emit
tied to receive the same number of
unit votes for any nomination the
one who receives the largest number
of popular votes in said primary shall
be declared the nominee"
Against Law-Breakers.
One of the clauses adopted was
'No candidate in said primary
election shall be declared the nominee
of the party if it is proved that in
the conduct of his campaign he vio-
lated any law of Georgia, or, in case
of candidates for congress-, any law
of Georgia or of the United States. "
In the event second, or run-off,
primary shall become necessary I'M
der the provisions of the act of 1917
the said primary shall be held on
Wednesday, October 2, it was provid-
ed. The date of the state convention
was not fixed by the committee, as
the possibility of a second primary
made this inadvisable.
On motion of Mr.. Dean, of Hall
county, resolutions of regret were
adopted upon the death of J. D. Wat
son, of McDuffie county, a member
of the committee, and the secretary
directed to send copies of the resolu-
lions to his father, Thomas E. Wat
son.
Upon motion of Clark Howell a
committee of five was appointed to
telegraph to President Wilson an ex-
preston of fealty from the state com
mittee, with congratulations upon his
conduct of the war.
No mention was made of the sena-
torial contest in the meeting of the
committee beyond provision made
for it in the primary rules which
the committee adopted.
Senate Race Discussed.
But in the Kimball house lobby the
senatorial contest was the principal
topic of conversation. William J. Har-
ris, William D. Upshaw and Emmett
Shaw were all on hand, circulating
among their friends and advancing
their respective claims of support.
