Unmarried men between the ages of 18 and 41are being sought to bring up the regular army to its war strength. Only a few are now lacking, and it is probable that the required number trill le secured this week. Therefore this is the last chance to volunteer in this branch of the service. There is a good chance for men to get into the Field ; Artillery, as there are still a few va-; cancies in that arm of the service. j The enlistments are for the length of j the war, and drafted men who have not t been examined can volunteer and be j accepted into the regular army. The men will be sent immediately to Fort t Thomas, Ky., where they will be train ed for several months before being sent to the firing lines. WASHINGTON. Herbert C.

Margaret Ilington at White's Tonight Margaret Ilington, the famous dra matic star, is to Ik? seen tonight in "The Inner Shrine.'' which is said to be exactly suited tp her personality, and gives her opportunity to display her wonderful versatility in running the gamut of emotion. Many of the scenes of "The Inner Shrine" are laid in France. The story is taken from a popular novel and deals with a wealthy American girl, who marries a titled and unscrupu lous Frenchman. Miss Ilington says : "I hope that people will like me on the screen, and I am looking forward with a great deal of interest to reports on "TThe Inner Shrine." THE NEW LIBERTY BRICK.

The German General Staff is figuring on the pos sibility of the Franco-British offensive in Flan ders driving them in retreat to their next defen sive line. The desperate hope of retaking positions-that would permit the eventual retreat northward from the Aisne and Champagne region is what inspired the German Crown Prince to his violent assaults against theJFrench lines in that region. We wish to announce to the tobacco farmers that we have built our ware house entirely of brick. We have greatly enlarged our floor space, giving, us by far the largest house in Green ville. We have added upstairs, large, comfortable sleeping quarters for your comfort, and convenience, also, many new box stalls for your team.

If you will bring us your first load we will, by hard work, do our very best to make you such a sale that will make you sell your entire crop at the Liberty, as tobacco looks better and sells higher at the LIBERTY.

The winners have been decided and the prizes awarded. The campaign was one of the most successful ever conducted in Green ville and was satisfactory in every re spect both to the workers who parti cipated in the race and to the Daily News. It has been conducted on a fair and square basis and this newspaper has lived up to every agreement it made. In a campaign of this sort, as in politics, there must be some winners and some losers. This is true in all contests, and while the Daily News re joices with the winners it also sympa thizes with those who failed after so valiant a fight, and expresses a wish that every contestant could have been awarded a prize. However, in the case of the Daily News' Auto Club all non winners who remained active in the Club, will receive a ten per cent com mission on ali business turned in dur ing the life of the campaign, so in real ity, there will be no losers after all. It is unnecessary to say that the winners were the most consistent work ers, those who put forth the best that was in them from the start of the campaign. They were the winners on the merits of their work, but from the number of votes gained by the non winners, it will be readily observed that they, like the winners, had a host of friends who supported them, and to their extreme energy and popularity is dufe in part the extraordinary suc cess of the Auto Club. While the Daily News extends its ap preciation to the contestants for the manner in which they conducted their campaign, it must not forget to thank the public who supported the cam paign and the judges, R. C. Flanagan, N. O. Warren and J. C. Gaskins, who made the count and decided the win ners. In this age of progressiveness, a newspaper must not only endeavor .to put before its readers the best possi ble presentation of the news, handled by experienced and capable men, but must see that the leading merchants, who spend their good money for adver tising, have the greatest possible cir culation. Being promoters , of every thing, not only of interest bat of value, fS the commytnity, it must promote en terprises and- show its appreciation of thefextreme confidence manifested by its fkrirrc1e of readers by offering from time - to time an inducement of the character of the campaign just closed. The Aiito Club was not born of a mojBefi&tft-thought, but was inaugurated on?a1 most careful consideration..- '-i$4 However, for a newspaper to handle all ojtKthe extra work of the campaign successfully, with its regular force of employes would be an impossibility. Therefore the Daily News secured the services of the Millery, Van Every Co., of Pittsburg, and the manner in which the campaign was conducted, and the success of the contest is ample testi mony of the ability of this firm to con duct such an undertaking. The treat ment of each and every member was partil, and Mr. Van. Every, who had charge of the Club, won many friends through his unvarying courtesy and business-like manner in which he con ducted the campaign. The final standings of the club mem bers and the judges' statement is as follows : We, the judges of the Greenville Daily News' Auto CluV f intl the fol lowing members ' to be the winners of the various prizes : $1315 Buick Light Six Touring Cnr, G.
