O., FEBRUARY 24, 1916 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE A HT r i r* I? - ? 1 ' A Weekly Keview Of The Great War There is a decided renewal of activity on the western frodt in France, but with no decisive results so far as can be learned. We are yet in the dark as to whether this portends a serious offensive on either side, and if so, in what quarter. So far as the operations have developed they seem to be merely intended to gain more defensible posif lotions in readiness for a supreme ' efFort in the spring. The battlefields are the same as laRt fall; namely, the hills that lie to the west oT Lille in the Artois region and to the east of Rheims in the Champagne. It has been repeatedly stated f liO f. n? Vao f n t? o r t Ko Ant/?/\rv*r? ^ ? vuwu ?? iji?uv> ? v, i I 1IU uuivwiuu Ui the war the fate of Turkey is sealed. In the future Turkey ^ ' will remain under the dominion 1 of either the Teutonic powers or will be partioned among the En\ tente Allies. With the fall of Erzerum bei fore Russian hosts a long step is iA made by the Allies toward the subjugation of the unspeakable Turk. It was at first reported that 100,000 soldiers were captured when this stronghold fell, but it |^Hhas since developed that most of ^^Bthe Turkish army escaped and J^Rue being pursued by the Rus[^^Pjians. \ A Turkish division has been Vmpletely wiped out or captnr^ \ in the tlight from Erzerum, yording to an official statement ' bed in Petrograd. Other |F" un*ls ^ave suffered "" "liie Russians are launching fierce attacks against Turkish forces at Sivas, about 16 miles west of Erzerum. Sivas is a height which is held iu strength by the Turks. Unofficial dispatches from Petrograd state that the entire Turkish line in the Black Seu and Lake Van region hus retired for a distance of more than 80 miles. In the assault on Erzeruin, a single Russian corps captured 240 guns. In the first line forts alono 132 guns, mostly of new Krupp models, were taken. Great quantities of ammunition and supplies of all kinds fell into the hands of the Russians. Official computation of the prisoners and material captured has not been completed. This is the severest blow Turkey has suffered during this war. It probably opens the way to a march on onstantinonle from the rear. Mr. Stevenson's Views The last statement made by Mr. W..F. Stevenson as to what ? *?^>ngress should do for a farming district like this was that it had spent $475,000,000.05 on rivers and nothing on roads. It has already spent $100,000,000 on irrigation projects, to water lands fur less than 1,000,000 people in the West. Why not do some thing to take the water out ol the roads in the South? In South Carolina the State ana v;ount>ieB anu iuwii?<np> spent in 1914 about $1,000,000.00 on roads, and still of the 45,049 nules of roads in the Slate on!.\ 4,88H miles aro surfaced and really improved?and that is the work of years. 4^,661 miles arc to be Axed, al?d ftH nnnst be V^ftintained.

Following aie somo of the local measures enacted : A bill allowing each township to vote a 6 mill tax for a period not exceeding five years for the purpose of raisii g money for school buildings. A bill providing for the selection of township commissioners by popular election. A bill providing that all claims against the county shall be filed one day before the meeting of the board of commissioners. A bill nrnbi ei 11?? nnnntt. ? r.

A bill reauiring commission ers to file quarterly reports with itemized statement of expenses with county board of commissioners and to publish same in u newspaper in the county. All money paid to township commissioner?*must be paid out by them and not by road over seers. The question of changing or continuing the present rural police system is to be submitted to the people for settlement by ballot. Legislature Adjourns The 2910 session of the State legislature adjounred Sunday morning at 5 :?15. The Torrens system of land registration, which passed the house iu 1915 became a law ar this session. The working of this important law will be exnlninarl #?t. h ! ? ..>w.?i. c ivu^vi i a y i u 'KM in: i ir>tsue. What is considered one of the foremost steps in making South Carolina an agricultural State was the enactment of the bill by Messrs. Toole; and LaGrone to provide for the teaching of agriculture in the public schools, the authors of the bill started modestly with an appropriation of $f>.000. It was urged that the inculcation of agricultural knowledge at an early age would prove a great impetus for general rural development. Mrs. Raley Entertains Mrs. M. L. Haley was a charming hostess when she entertained recently in honor of Mrs. J. S, McGregor. The Valentine idea was carried out most effectively in the decorations. Numeious gay cupids and hearts suggested love time. In an attractive register the guests wrote the autographs, uid in dainty heart shaped booklets expressed their wishes for Mrs. McGregor.

Chesterfield Delegates Save State Warehouse One of the most exciting and momentous fights of t.he present session of the general assembly has been that of Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin against the Southeastern Tariff association. The Southeastern Tariff associft f.1 An 10 a r?a f' /n? U ? b- ? ^ * ? io ? iii<j iire in~ surance association ihat regulates and controls tire insurance rates throughout the United States. When Senator McLaurin, through arrangements he was able to make with independent insurance men north, began cutting the rates of the Southeastern Tariff association to pieces, the Southeastern Tariff association put in operation the machinery it employs in such canes with a view to putting the senator out of business. The purpose of the big tru*t was unmistakable, and Mr. McLaurin realized at once that he would have to either surrender or fight, and he chose to fight. Mr. McLaurin went after the enemy and the Senate passed Mr. G. K, Latiey's bill along the line desired placing the entire question of rale making on lire risks in South (Carolina under the control of the Warehouse a Com missioner. The senate acted before the insurance people knew wiiat was doiifg, and tney did not get fair lv into action before the I ill had been sent over to the h -use; but during Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, the insurance lobby came swarming down on the situation like the locusts of Egypt, and they made things warm. It is said that there were more than two hundred insurance men in Columbia on Tuesday and Wednesday, and telegrams poured in on members from all over the country bv the hundred. On passing the Senate this bill was referred to the insurance committee, but Mr. W.P. Odotn, a staunch friend of the warehouse system hail it referred to the agriculture committee, of which he is chaiiman. Both sides were here given a fair hearing. The prompt and edicient work o f Chesterfield County's representatives have undoubtedly saved to the State and its farmers the benefits of the State Warehouse System. At The AmusU To-night., Thursday, a threereel feature, Ella Hall, in "Beth Bides of Life," will be shown. This is one of the very best. Saturday night "The Trail of the Upper Yukon," featuring Ben Wilson and Dorothy Philips, will be exhibited. Also a cuereel picture, "Who's There." This will constitute an excellent entertainment. On Tuesday night will be seen the seventh episode of the "Perils of Pauline." Those who failed to eee the sixth episode missed the most thrilling picture yet shown. The seventh will be better still. It is worth mentioning that the lights are now fine and overthing is sure to work smoothly in the future.
