Charges Misrepresentations.
"Plainly speaking It is none of their
business." said he, referrlnß to rom
plaints from Massachusetts and New
York. He charged representatives of
the committee with ml«re|iresentatlnß
facts In the South; declared against
national child Ishor legislation and
niKcd me delegates to elean up affairs
1n their home states before taking port
in the affairs of others. Dr McKel
wsy he said, had Issued pamphlets
only half representing the facts.
Dr. McKelwsv replied to Clark. As
to national legislation, he said, he had
only to s»|uot# I'lark's father, Chief
Justice Clark, of the North Carolina
supreme court, who held child labor
legislation constitutional.
The Next Generation.
The committee, he said, had not ex
hibited to the public pictures of hu
manity wrecked by early employment
but he said the next generation would
have living pictures of the effects, lie
denied that thn committee had dis
seminated information that four or five
old children were employed In North
Carolina but he declared federal In
vcatlgatlon hail shown 75 per cent of
the mill operators there violated tho
law by child employment. Kmployere
of child labor he roundly denounced
and he added that users of child tabor
products were In fact to an extent the

AIKEN COUNTY OFFICE
Ca.pt. Joe Murray, Veteran of
the Sixties Elected to Office
of Master in Equity Two
Years Ago, Has Never Gotten
Place. Appeal to be Made to
New Governor.
Aiksn, 8. C.—As soon as Governor
Manning is Inaugurated, tha Aiken
county democratic executive commit
tee will lake up with tile new chief
executive the matter of the office of
master in equity of Aiken county,
which, though held iby L,. M. C. Oli
vares, has been in diaputo for more

nomination and election at the hands
of the people ks Aiken county ill tho
pritnury and election of 1912. Mr. Oli
veros, appointed by Governor Biease,
lias successfully held ou to tlie office
in spile of ills defeat in the 1912 prl
iha ry.
The office of master In equity of
Aiken county was niudu vacant by
tho death of Captain W. M. Jordan
some time prior to the 1912 primary.
Governor Meuse appointed Mr. Oil -
veroa to fill Captain Jordans unox-
Idrcd term, but tho confirmation of
tho stats senate was necessary before
Mr UllveroH could take charge of the
office T. Q. Croft was then senator
from Aiken county. llcfore Senator
Cruft would recommend Mr. Oliveroa
f> f confirmation, he required Mr. Ult
veros to sign an agreement to the ef
fect that, If confirmed, he (Ollveros)
would hold the office of musler In
equity only until such a time as an
election should he held; that It he then
became a candidate fur the office and
was defeated, he would turn the office
over to the man elected by the peo
ple.
Mr. Ollveros was one of the three
candidates for the office In the 1912
primary, the two others being Captain
Murray nnd J. H. Burgee On tho
stump Mr. Oliveroa reiterated that
should he be defeated lie would vacate
the office to which he had been ap
pointed by the governor, and In sign
ing hts pledge ns a candidate for the
place, swore to support the party nom
inee.
In the 1912 primary Mr. Ollveros was
defeated In flic firat primary, a sec
ond race being run by Captain Murray
and Mr Borgee, Captain Murray de
feating hla opponent
Captain Murray then called upon
Mr. Ollveros to turn the office to which
he had been elected over to him, hut
Mr Ollveros declined to do eo, main
taining - with the support of Governor
HI ease —that he had been appointed
not for Captain Jordan's unexptred
term hut fpr a full term of four years,
lie maintains that he Is entitled to
the office until some time In 19141.
Captain Murray la n Confederate
veteran and was formerly treasurer
of Aiken county. He sustained wounds
during the war between the states
which have left him partially crippled,
lie has never ceased to fight for the
office to which he has been elected by
a splendid majority of the votes of the

fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
A LULL IN FIGHTING AT GERMAN
ARMYFIELD HEADQUARTERS— IS
STATIONED SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE
Army of General Von Heeringen Guards This Important Sec
tion of the Battle Line-Is the JScene Each Day of An Ar
tillery Duel---Sometimes Ferocious, Sometimes Almost
Perfunctory---No Heavy Fighting This Week.
Field Headquarters of the German
Army, a Place in France (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press, by Cour
ier to Holland). —This Important sec
tion of the battle line, guarded by tho
army of General von Heerlngen, to
which belongs the credit of the first
considerable victory of the war—de
feat of the French at Muelhnusen, Al
sace. on August Kith is the scene
each day of nn artillery duel, some
times ferocious, sometimes almost
perfunctory.
This week’has shown no heavy
fighting and the lull has enabled tho
correspondent df the Associated Press,
a guest of headquarters mess for the
greater part of tho week to have many
conversations with General von Heer-
Ingen.
65 Yaers Old.
Physically General von Heerlngen is
far from the generally conceived Idea
of a German commanding officer. He
Is 65 years old, with silky white beard,
mild eyea, a pleasant voice and a cour
teous consideration for all with whom
he comes In contact, and It takes the
gray field uniform, with the black and
white ribbons and the Iron cross upon
his brenst, to reveal the man who, as
war minister, put through the retch
ing the hllllon-tuark levy for Increas
ing the army lust year and who as
commander of that army hastily con
centrated In the first ten days of mo
bilization, broke up the French Inva
sion of southern Alsace nnd drove tho
Invaders back upon Belfort.
General von Heerlngen has been In
close touch with the modern theory
of war but he admits all did not come
out as the experts had supposed.
T ranches.
"Take the laying of trenches, for
example,” he suld. "The firat princi
ple to he observed, according to our
ideas before the war, was to secure
ns extended a field of fire as possible,
so as to force an attacking enemy to
advance a long distance under the
fire of the defenders. Now we have
learned that the first essential is to
have them concealed nnd protected
from artillery fire, even if the field of
fire docs not extend more than fifty
yards before the trenches. That Is
enough, with modern weapons, to stop
any at t a ok.
"In n number of plaVoa our men and
the French occupy opposite slopes of
the same ridge so that neither side
can see the other. In the old days it
would have bean thought Gist the side
seising the crest could drive out the
others, but now neither side dares
show a head above the crest,
“Another lesson we have learned Is
In regard to occupation of cities In an
advance. We now march our columns
around the city Instead of through It,
sending reconnoiterlng parties into it
linttl we have established that it is
clear of tho enemy.
Hand Grenades.
“Hand grenades are the best weap
ons for street and house-to-house
fighting. A couple of hand grenades
thrown Into a house occupied by the
enemy will clear It more quickly than
anything else, and with far less loss
of life. Our men all curry them now.
"In the trenches we are using with
remarkable effect not only hand gra
nades. but large mines, taking a x • at
quantity of explosive and thrown by a
special gun. The hand grenades are
shout the slse of a baseball and are
bound to short wooden paddles, n ak-
Ing them very handy to throw. Usu
ally they are provided with fuses
which the users light front a match or
a cigar.”
General von Heerlngen waa naked
whether the war had settled the ques
tlon of denae or extended llnea for at
tack. Kngliah and French reporta hav
ing deaertbed the tlermana aa charge
Ing In almost aolld formation. The
general Intimated that since the early
days of the war the German staff had
learned In order to get the tnen for
ward under heavy fire It waa neees
aary to advance In aucceaatva rushes
rather than In denae llnea.
Praia#.
General von Heerlngen had only
praise for both British and French
soldiers. The French were stiff, hard
(ishtera. hut like moat officers at the
front, he scented to think the Urlttah
were toughest. The German Infan
tryman praised the work of the Brit
ish guns and tho German aviators say
the British biplane Is superior In many
points to all other aircraft.
The equipment of the English of
ficers and soldiers is considered al
most Ideal. A surprising number of
German officers are encountered
wearing British great coats, even staff
officers of higher grades considering
themselves lucky when they can put
(heir shoulder straps and buttons on
the brown overcoat of an English
private.
Rescripts.
What had caught his fancy most,
General von Heerlngen said, was the
action of the untried regiments of the
young German troops that had been
thrown Into the fighting in Flanders.
They bore their part with the steadi
ness of seasoned veterans.
The food at headquarters Is plain
and simple, soldierly to almost the
same degree as that of the men in the
trenches.
"Ills excellency,” said one of the
staff, "does not encourage table lux
ury. Food Is supplied by the towns
people upon requisition, and he wishes
to make the burden as light as pos
sible. For a time we have trouble in
getting even table wine, hut we later
found supplies—where do you think?
Ir. soldiers' graves. A French shell
which fell Into one of these revealed
a llttlo trick of the Inhabitants—to
bury such supplies, round up a mound
of earth above them and set up a
wooden cross at the head of the sup
posed grave."
"Have you seen everything you
wished to?" asked General von Heer
lngen In a ferowell conversation. “We
have no secret you know, except such
as are locked up In the breasts of our
commanders. 1 gave instructions that
you should be given every facility for
jour work. In return please do one
thing; I.et the people of America
know that we are not Huns and bar
barians."
