BROWN BEATS PRICE
ace Closest Since Broyles-
Pottle Tie of Four
Years Ago.
It was settled Thursday afternoon
hat James J. Brown has defeated
ames D. Price, who was a candidate
or renomination as Commissioner of
griculture. The race had been in
oubt until the official returns came
n showing that the incumbent had
ost his home county, Oconee, by 83

Nine counties had not yet nport-‘

should carry all of them with thelrl
total conventionvote of 20 vétes'
Brown still would have a majority
of 8.
The race probably will prove to be
the closest for a Statehouse ofllce'
since the celebrated tie between |
Judges Nash Broyles and Bob Pottle
in the race for Court of Appeals four
Jears ago.
The counties yet to hear from are

For Court of Appeals.
The race for Court of Appeals is

tional News Service.
PARIS, Sept. 14.—The thun
derbolt launched by General Foch
Tuesday and Wednesday north of
the Somme brings him within
measurable distance of complete
ly breaking down the German
belt.
The three miles which he occu
pled in the German system of
third line trenches, which is the
last strongly organized defense of
the Germans, are on the main
road which forms the most im
portant artery in this region,
feeding Peronne from Cambria.
In this month's fighting on the
Somme a few heavy shells imme
diately render useless any cover.
the tactical results are the oc
cupation of the Bapaume-Pe
ronne road, as well as the cap
ture of the culminating positions
between Peronne and Bapaume,
while the French guns also com
~ mand the Paris-Lille railway.
| War Passes Into New Phase.
In some places the French guns
now have to smash only hastily
constructed dugouts, sparsely
timbered and not strengthened
by cement, which demoristrates
that the war has passed into a
new phase. With the attack
sweeping all before it over dis
' tances of several miles and con
siderable depths, the operations
have lost their character of isola
ted trench storming, which pre
vailed for the two years past,
This is due to the deadly new
artillery, which batters out of
shape all trenches and puts out
of action all defenders, so that
when the infantry is released it
fights in the open or in woods
void of trenches. This change
was apparent yesterday, when
General Foch executed the first
open maneuver since the Marne.
Pivoting on the Somme River,
his left wing carried a bastivned
front a kilometer long and three
kilometers deeap, including Hill
76, two miles north of Peronne.
Farther north the greatest feat
accomplished was the capture of
another trench running in
straight line from the river to
Merval .with only one opening,
Hill 145.
Attack Lasts 26 Minutes.
The Germans built this strong
work to cover the Peronne-
Bapaume, 2,000 yards to the rear.
The French hammered it for four
days with the flercest shell fire
and seized it in exactly 26 min
utes,
The reason was that there was
scarcely a man left to defend the
great trench, and when Foch's
troops came up the line was so
upturned that it ceased to re
semble a trench. It was merely a
medley of corpses. The French

overwhelmingly defeated, and now he
has been ordered to go back to his
Job as postmaster by Burleson. Con

a tlit over the revision of rural mo

troops operating in this region
under General Fayolle belong to
the French Comte Picardio, so
when, after a brief rest, they
swept on toward the Bapaume-
Peronne road they reconquered
their own particular corner of
France. They charged with mag
nificent dash, fiercely bearing
down the opposition isolated
groups of Teutons offered. Fin
ally they got an immovable
stronghold. Among the troops de
feated here were the first active
Imperial Guards division—Ger
many’s finest soldiers. An officer
who was an eyewitness to the ac
tion says he never saw finer
fighting.
“The advance was made over
flattened intrenchments,” said
he. “A few groups of Germans,
hiding in dugouts, willingly sur
rendered. It only needed a dozen
grenades to persuade a few re
calcitrants that opposition was
useless. Our artillery preparation
these days always reduces the
‘Bosches’ to limp impotency., For
instance, an artillery noncom
missioned officer, preparing the
way for the first attacking wave,
saw a hundred Germans running
hands up toward the onrushing
blue line, while their own ma
chine guns fired into them from
the rear. When being sent behind
thie lines all said they were satis
fied to escape the murderous fire
of our guns.”
The first phase of the battle in
which the French seized the first
German line within 26 minutes
began at 12:30. The German sup
porting column retreated east
ward under shell fire. While the
conquered ground was hastily or
ganized the batteries opened bar
rages with heavier guns. They
continued to pound the second
line, and at 1:15 the infantry
again went into action.
Center Meets Stiff Resistance.
The left wing progressed rap
idly, debouching from the An
derlu wood. They carried Prize
farm and reached the outskirts of
Rancourt. Farther south the
slopes of Hills 11 and 145 were
conquered with an irresistible
dash a mile deep.
The center, however, encoun
tered stubborn resistance, espe
clally In Marrieres wood, a por
tion of which was held by the
Germans, but after three hours of
desperate fighting the French
cleared the position and flung the
Germans to the east of the Ba
paume road. ¢
In the even.ng Saxon troops
occupying Bouchavesnes were
turned north and south and aban
doned the village after a short
struggle, although they had
strongly fortified it. They left
many machine guns and heaps of
ammunition in French hands.

| LONDON, Sept. 14.—Capture of
Peronne by French troops, a blow
that will ultimately force the Ger
‘mans to abandon the great Noyon
salient that they have maintained
since the battle of the Marne two
years ago, was forecast by dispatches
received here from Amsterdam today.
These state that though Crown
Prince® Rupprecht of Bavaria was
reinforcing hjs troops about Peronne
and bringing up all available artillery
for the town's defense, the civilion
inhabitants of the district had been
ordered by the Germans to leave im
mediately. Refugees numbering 2,000
have already reached the Belgian
town of Given,
These war exiles report that signs
of panic are already apparent among
the troops owing to the continued ad
vance of the French troops on the
Somme front. From them was ob
tained the first account of the results
obtained by the French aviators in
their recent raids behind the German
lines,
The refugees stated that in every
phase of aerial warfare the French
fliers are now demonstrating their su
|ps~rlorny. not only in numbers, but
also in the boldness of their opera
tions.
Several of the railway lines upon
which the Germans depend for mov
ing their troops rapidly to threat
ened points on the front have been

from ¥rench aeroplanes that it will
take more than two weeks to repair
them,

Teuton Attacks Fail
.
To Shake French Line
By CHARLES F, BERTELLI,
Staff Correspondent of nterna
tionmo\:‘. &r:hl:o.l
PARIS, Sept. 14.—German troops
launched a counter attack om the
Somme front yesterday, but it re
sulted in fallure, the War Office an
nounced today. The Teuton attacks
were made on both sides of the
Somme River, that to the north be
ing against Hill No. 76, while to the
south the Germans assalled the po
sitions recently taken by the
French.
The officlal communique reports
the repulse of these assaults, the same
fate meeting two German attacks on
the Vaux-Chaplitre positions on the
Verdun front,
A feature of the military operations
much commented on by the French
experts is that the Allles not only
gain their objective in the attacks
they make but hold on to their cap
tured positions despite the most des
perate efforts of the Germans to dis
lodge them.
In the latest Somme attacks the
Germans hurled large forces upon the
French only to be driven back with
heavy losses,
