i
PARIS, France.—Overcoming all
the desperate attempts at German
opposition and disregarding weather
conditions, which have changed for |
the worse, the allied armies continue
to drive the enemy from Belgium
and northern France.
- Belgians, British and French troops
have reclaimed more than one-quar
ter of Belgium’s soil from the in
vaders, and King Albert, after four
vears’ exile from his country, soon
will be reoccupying his palace in
Brussels. British, French and Ameri
cans are making nearly as rapid
progress in clearing the occupied dis
tricts of northern France, and it is
predicted that, in less than a month,
the Germans will have completely
left French soil.
Already more than 2,500,000 Bel
gian and French old men, women and
children have been rescued from
German oppression. |
Retreat Not a Rout. |
The great German retreat, while
it now has continued for three
months, is being conducted in an or
derly manner. There is little doubt
in Paris and London but that Hin
denburg is retiring to the line of the
Meuse rifer defenses, but he is con
ducting the retirement with the
greatest skill, and it is hardly prob
able that any large body of Germans
will be cut off and compelled to sur
render, or that the German line will
be broken.
Fifteen thousand of the kaiser’s
troops were cut off in the northeast
ern section of the Belgian coast by
the rapid advance of French cavalry
on Ghent, farther south, but these
men escaped the allied prison cages
by marching across the border of Hol
land and being interned by Dutch of
ficials,
The fighting accompanying the
German retreat is as fierce as any
thing that has been chronicled during
the war. They are offering the strong
est kind of rear guard resistance, and
the allied troops, as they advance,
are compelled to fight for every mile
of ground. But the battle, das far as
the Germans are concerned, is a
hopeless one. The Germans are dv-i
termined to make the allies pay as
dearly as possible for the tex'lhuryl
given up.
Hindenburg’s Tremendous Losses. l
The German losses in killed :mdj
wounded, as the result of this policy,
have been very heavy, and "the allies|
also are bagging from five to ten:
thousand prisoners a day. Since Mm'—g
shal Foch began his attack, on July|
18, the allies have taken more than|
325,000 German prisoners and 6,500 |
German cannon, this number being|
perhaps 25 per cent. of the German|
artillery strength. The enemy, too, is |
running desperately short of artillery
ammunition, and this has made the
work of the machine gun and infan-!
try divisions opposing the allied ad
vance so much more costly.
In addition to the prisoners cap
tured in northern France the allies,
also have 75,000 Bulgarian troops in’
prison cages in Macedonia, while in
Palestine the British captures in
Gen. Allenby’s drive number nearly
80,000. Thus the total number of
prisoners taken by the allies during
the last three months is very near
the half million mark.
Reclaiming Territory Rapidly.
Territory in Belgium and northern
France is being reclaimed at the rate
of nearly a hundred square miles a
day, and villages, towns and cities by
the score.

Gentlemen: Please allow me to state
that I have sold your hog cholera
remedy for one season and have or
dered more for this season. Last year
I sold it to 12 or 15 men who raise
hogs. I told each of them to take
the remedy, feed it to their hogs and
if they lost a single hog from disease
of any kind not to pay me a cent for
the remedy,; but when they began to
sell cotton every man came in and
paid me for the medicine and every
one of them told me that it was the
best hog medicine they ever used.
One man paid me for the small pack
age and bought $5 worth more and
said it was the best that he had ever
tried. Yours very truly,
W. HBARTILBPT.

PRESIDENT WEBB, OF GEORGIA
- PEANUT GROWERS’ ASSOCIA
| TION, VISITS DAWSON.
Mr. W. H. Webh. of Hahira,
Lowndes county, president of the
state Peanut Growers’ Association,
which was recently organized by
farmers of South Georgia, has been
in Dawson.
Peanut growers in Terrell county
‘and other South Georgia counties are
somewhat disturbed by the fact that
the market is not so good and stable
this season as was anticipated. The
'mills are not offering anything like
' the price the growers think they
ought to get, and the producers de-!
clare that they cannot come out even
‘at present prices.
.~ Mr. Webb is making an effort to!
get the growers to hold their prod
‘ucts until matters can settle down
on some basis, as it is claimed that'
the hurry of the growers to get their
product on the market is having a|
bad effect in getting things properly |
arranged. |
Million Bushels in Holding Pool. x
Mr. Webb stated that more than
one million bushel§ are already!
pledged in a holding pool, and ef-|
forts are being made to get all the |
growers to agree to this plan, at thei
end of which it is believed that bet-'
ter prices will be obtained. ;
The statement was made that in-|
formation had been obtained to the!
effect that crushers feel that they are !
not getting as much profit from cot- |
ton seed as they should have, and for |
this reason the peanut price is being |
held down. !
It is the intention of Mr. Webb
and others working for better prices |
to finally take the matter to Wash
ington in an effort to get a profit for
the growers on their peanuts. And .
to this end the growers are being
urged to hold their crop for the pres
ent.
Should Be Graded. |
It is also urged that all peanuts
be graded, as the Spanish variety is
saild to be worth about ten dollars
a ton more than the Virginia and
the runners. This is an important
matter to the growers and they chould
look into it. It is estimated that the
difference in price will add more than
one million dollars to the value of
the South Georgia crop if the pea
nuts are properly graded and sold
that way.
Only $lOO a ton is now being offer
ed for peanuts.
District Meeting Will Be in Albany,
and Terrell and Other Counties
Urged to Send Representatives.
Dawson and Terrell county, as well
as this entire section of Georgia,
will have as an event of excepticnal
interest a United War Work cam
paign district conference in Albany
on next Wednesday, November 6th.
The conference will be featured by
addresses from such well known men
as Dr. Ashby Jones, Dr. S. E. Was
son, Rabbi Marx and J. K. Orr, state
chairman for the campaign. It will
be attended by a large number of
this district’s most prominent men
and women who are actively engag
ed in the campaign. *
Upon an appeal from President
Wilson and by order of the war de
partment the United War Work cam
paign has been launched by seven or
‘ganizations in combination, each of
‘which is doing army welfare work at
home and abroad.
The actual drive will begin on
Monday, November 11th, and will
run through Monday, November 18th.
‘The sum of $170,500,000 is to be
raised by the nation, of which Geor
gia’s quota will be $1,585,785, and
Terrell county’s $7,500.
Immediately after the district
meeting county conferences will be
held, for which able speakers will be
provided.
It is the sentiment of state, dis
trict and county workers in the cam
paign that Georgia will far exceed
her quota for this magnificent army
welfare service.
