PASTOR DANIEL
WAS RETURNED
LONDON, DEC. 8.—The campaign
against the main Serbian armies hav
ing been closed, It is expected Gen
eral Von Gallwitz, with his German
forces, will join the Bulgarians in
Macedonia In an effort to crush the
French and Rritish armies before they
become much stronger.
Information from Berlin indlcate.s |
that the German forces engaged in |
the earlier movements in the Ualkansi
have now been detached for the pur-1
pose of sharing In the attack on the!
Pranco-British forces along the j
Southern Macedonian front. Dis-1
patches from Athens partially corrob
orate this theory, as it is reported
two German divisions are co-operat-
tag with the Bulgarians near Stru-
mitza.
There Is little report from the other
froncs save the usual minor opera
tions.
The French, however, are carrying
on a particularly energetic bombard
ment of the German lines In the
Champagne. In Mesopotamia the
Germans are beginning to show con
siderable interest in the campaign,
which Is developing in favor of their
Turkish allies.
It is reported from Geneva that the
Germans under Field Marshal Von
Der Goltz are preparing an exten-
alve campaign which will be directed
toward the Peraian Gulf by way of
Bagdad.
Further impetus is given to peace
talk by the papal consistory at which
Pope Benedict delivered an address
calling upon the belligerents to make
« Just and immediate peace.
The effect of the dismissal of the
German military and naval attaches
at Washington on the German public
is not ascertainable as the German
Bewapapers have not been permitted
nublish even >he bare facts of the
ineideni.

“The average community has from

drive’ and if every family were that
far from a church the distance would
not be too great. Duplication of

The Board of County CommlsBlonerB
concluded ilieir regular session yes

the coming year, and with the making
of linal arrangements for other mat
ters wliich are ot great importance
lo the county as a whole.
ilr. S. A. Conglelon resigned as
chairman of the board yesterday and
was succeeded hy Mr. .1. S. Hoss, pro
minent business man of Ayden who is
\, t ii .suited [ur the position. In the
reiigiiing of Mr. Conglelon. he stated
that ho tell Dial owing lo ilie incon-
veiiieiue of iu,t lie.ng able to get to
Greenville as well as others he thought
that someone eise would be better suit
ed for the po.sitiou. Mr. Congleioc
has m.ide a mighty line chairman for
the board and many of them were re-
luclaiii to lose him, but it was pointed
out iliut ,\lr. Koss is well suited for the
posiiiun.
Coiinly Attorney S. J. Everett, who
has served tho hoard well, and who
ranks as one ot the best lawyers iu
Greenville as well as the surrounding
coutury, was reelected yesterday.
The bond.s for Falkland and Farm-
villu townships, fifty thousand dollarti
each, were sold yesterday at what the
county attorney today slated to be »
good price.
'I'ho election returns from Carolina
township to l.-;sue bonds for good roads
were passed upon and Mr. J. L. Perk
ins was appointed chairman of the
committee to see that the money
expended where it will do the most
bonelit.
Sale of the I’oor House property
was yesterday authorized and the At
lantic Coast Itealty company, will, it
is thought, sell this on December 21st.
Too much praise can not be given
the board of county commissioners for
what they have done the past year.
Since the present ho.ird has been la
