ENORMOUS NUMBER OF MAXIMS
■ AND FIELD GUNS CAPTURED BY
RUSSIA TURNED ON OLD OWNERS
Austrians Retreating Accompanied By One Full German
Army Corps. Czar’s Troops Blow Up and Fire, Vast Stores
Taken. Much Suffering From Hunger.
London, 2:50 a. m. —A dlsptach from
Petrograd to The Post, telling of the
operations on the Russian frontier
says:
“The Germans have concentrated
enormous forces in East Prussia,
causing a corresponding retirement on
the part of the Russians. The Ger
mans in aid of the hard pressed
armies on the Austrian frontier at
tempted to drive in with an over
whelming force along the line from
Nordenburg to Goldap upon the Rus
rian base. At the same time Russia
had been drawing upon its forces in
east Prussia for reinforcements
against the Austrian front. Thus the
German attempt was well timed. Gen.
Rennenkampf, however, by clever
maneuvering succeeded in driving
back the Germans with heavy losses.

NEWS FROM NEARBY TOWNS
MASS MEETING, CONSIDER
COTTON SITUATION;
ANDERSON
Anderson, S. C. —It is likely that a
general mass meeting of business men
and farmers will be held in Anderson
the latter part of this week to con
sider the cotton situation, with espe
cial reference to the "Buy-a-Bale”
movement. A canference was held
this morning between Mr. James D.
Hammett, chairman of the board of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce, Mayor J. H. Godfrey and local
bankers and business men, with re
gard to the matter and it has been
decided to have such a mass meeting,
the date to be selected this afternoon
o- tomorrow.
The idea of the meeting will be to
consider methods to be pursued to
handle distress cotton in Anderson
County and to consider whether or
not the so-called buy-a-bale move
ment shall be put into- effect here and
in the other cotton markets of the
county. If so, then It is planned to
work out a systematic plan to handle
the-cotton and to consider ways and
ir tns to give the preference on sales
to' tenant farmers and others who
most need the assistance.
It is likely that a leading banker
from a neighboring city will be invit
ed to come to Anderson and make an
address on the occasion of the mass
meeting, touching upon other mat
ters connected with present financial
conditions in the South.
GREENWOOD NOTES
Greenwood.—To date nearly 400
bales of cotton have been stored at
the warehouse in Greenwood. This
numbers represents about 180 ac
counts, showing that a majority of
the farmers have decided to hold theli;
cotton this fall. The receipts at the
warehouse on the same date last year
did not begin to come in before the
latter part of September.
...
Rev. W. J. Nelson, pastor of the
First Baptist Church at Rock Hill,
oocupied the'pulpit of the First Bap
tist Church here Sunday morning and
evening. At the morning hour, Mr.
Nelson made an appeal for funds
with which to erect a new $40,000
church building In Rock Hill. On
account of the large attendance from
Winthrop College the present build
ing is not large enough. He is mak
ing a canvass of the state for the
purpose of raising $20,000. The city
of Rock Till has agreed to give $20,-
000.

the superior court, has been present
ed with a bill of exceptions in the
case of the owners of St. Catherine’s
Island vs. I. Persons, Geo. Brock, J.
N. Brock and S. Martin.
This is the case which was recent
ly fought out in the superior court.
The owners of the island claimed
that these men were fishing in a creek
near St. Catherine, that it was private
property and that the men were vio
lating the law by fishing there.
Judge Conyers, however, decided
otherwise, holding that the creek in
which the men were fishing was not
private property. The case will now
go to the supreme court for a de
cision.

CANADIANS IN FAVOR
OEOROIA PRISON PLAN
Atlanta, Qa.—The prison commission
of Canada, which recently sent rep
resentatives to several of the southern
states. Including Georgia, to look over
various methods of handling convicts,
has adopted the Georgia Idea of work
ing them on the public roads.
‘'Old mother Nature Is a kind nurse
to the fellow disposed to get back to
his better aelf," reported the commis
sion 'Men who have lived their live*
In circumscribed areas and have fallen
Into crime are likely to receive mor-.i
and physical stimulus from the open

The Canadian authorities will abol

PRAISE REWARD
CHIEFLY TO
JDFFRE
French General’s Name Not
Mentioned Kindly During Re
treat From Frontier. Dif
ferent Now.
London, 3:20 a. Paris cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, explain
ing General Joffre’s success, says:
"The reward of praise be chiefly
Joffre’s. It was not always kindly
that the name of Joffre was mention
ed during the retreat from the fron
tier, though the chorus of praise now
would make one think confidence had
never waned. He has had the cour
age to expose himself to the danger
of contempt and the criticism of his
country to realize his plan for final
victory. General Joffre recently said:
Two Methods.
“ ‘There are two methods of mak
ing war, one is to employ troops in
masses and the other to sigh. in ex
tended order. The former is the Ger
man method. It is Immensely costly
In life but they can afford It for two
reasons, the immense superiority in
numbers and the fact that their men
are disciplined to mechanical obed
ience that they fight best when close
ly held together under the personal
command of their officers.
“ ’The extended order is th. French
way. The French soldier does not
fight well wedged together and he be
comes Impatient under constant com
mand and mechanical discipline.
Can't Meet Them.
“In the open country I can’t meet
troops in a mass and of greatly supe
rior numbers with extended troops.
To have the best chance for success
I must fight in such a position that
the battlefield is limited to the strong
fortresses which will support the ex
tended lines of the French and by
limiting the front will hamper the
movements of the Germans.’
“This is what Joffre has done, re
tired to the narrowest part of France
between Paris and Verdun. The suo
cess of his strategy is amply shown.”
HARRIED THE
STRANDED
AIRMEN
German Aviators Attacked by
French Peasants With
Scythes and Pitchforks.
Spend Anxious Hours.
Berlin, via London, 12:05 p. m.—ln
teresting stories of the experiences of
German aviators have been received
here. Two who were forced to land
from their machine near a hostile
Belgian village because of motor
trouble were attacked by the local
residents, armed with shot guns. One
of the Germans succeeded In seizing
the village magistrate as a hostage
and while he kept his pistol at this
official’s head his compaion repaired
the motor. They then made the mag
istrate mount the aeroplane which
luckily was able to ascend with three
passengers and sped away.
DAZED AND STUNNED
Two other aviators whose machine
was wrecked by a fall in the midst of
the enemy’s country, were dazed and
stunned by the accident and were im
mediately attacked by a group of
French peasants armed with pitch
forks and scythes. The Germans held
these men at bay with their revolvers
until they reached the dense woods
in which they hid. Peasants and
soldiers hunted them systematically
for days. They spent anxious hours
crouching In holes like rabbits while
their pursuers fired shotguns and
rifles Into every suspected thicket.
They lived on beets and the only
water they had was dew which they
sucked froth leaves. Their minds al
most gave way under the strain and
they were burning with fever when a
German patrol found them.
OFFICIAL ELECTION FOR
GOVERNOR DATES CHANGED
Atlanta, Ga—Georgia farmers and
other busy folks have cause to thank
the last legislature for one good law
at least—that changing the date of
the official election, which becomes
effective this year.
Under the old law the election for
governor and other state officials
would come early In October, but for
years this election, following the dem
ocratic primary, has been purely a
formality and a useless expense.
Under the new law this election
will be held on the first Monday af
ter the first Tuesday In November, on
the same date as the national elec
tion for congressmen, so that the vo
ters will be called out but once.
Sleeveless Gowns Require
Hairless Arms
Fashion says sleeveless, low-necked
gowns for this season. This means hair
less arms and nock, If you do not want
to be humiliated Howard's Rexall Drug
Htores say that tha aafrst, best and
quickest way to be absolutely free from
aII trace of superfluous hair Is to use
the famous medical prescription known
as Mrs. Osgood’s Wonder for Huperflu
otis Heir.
It Is delightful to use and absolutely
harmless. A single application makes
hair on face, neck, arms, bands, or any
other part of the body quickly disappear.
The cost Is small and Howard’s Kexull
