THF. WOYS HKACIl COLUMBIA. Fino Ix>t of Young Follows, Ready to Sturt Work at One?. (Tho Stute, Cth.) Five hundred potential South Car olina "heroes in tho rough" were mo bilized ?it Cutup Jackson yesterduy ns the State's 5 per cent of the llrst call under the selective draft. Ry mid night last night 158 North Carolini ans had also arrived and 02 are scheduled to come In fron, Florida at au early hour this morning as the first contingent from tho Land of Flowers. The embryonic troops began 'heir movement upon Columbia early in thtj ''ay. The llrst groups to arrive wero Saluda sud Lexington, their train reaching the terminal at 10 o'clock. Abbevllle's contingent was the Inst to Join tho movement, this unit getting to Columbia at 4.20 o'clock in the afternoon. A shuttle (rain transferred the groups hastily from the union station to Camp Jackson. Rrlg. Cen. Chas. Ii. Barth, com mander of the camp, met the first trains of tho day, and several Con fed?ralo veterans from the Confede rate Home hung about the station much of the day. Those latter watched with a curiously brilliant glint in the eye the sturdy young sters who were answering the coun try's call, and fought over again with all tho mental alertness of for mer days the bloody struggles of the War Rot ween the Sections. There was little of the customary glare or military spectacle attached to tho array of splendid young fel lows being marshalled into the Na tional army. Much good natured bickering was bandied back and forth by rival contingents. An occasional chorus of barbershop minors, slightly reminiscent of college days, broke the dull monotony of "watchful ?walting" for the first glimpse of tho cantonment, which was the occasion for a spontaneous outburst of "rebel" yella as the trains drove Into the camp. Unless appearances prove decept ive, the major portion of the young men are in excellent physical fettle. Many are directly from the rural dis tricts, where manual labor ls a dally routine and adjustment will be eas ily effected to trench digging, hurt ling over "tops," exacting bayonet practico and other strenuous modes ol mod urn wni t ire. The work nf mustering i . ?I.V. I.\ was dlspntorTod ropldlj al lin ramp, ?.pei air office* hrivihg boon Int pr* itai ed, each equipped with efficient staffs. The men were assigned quick ly and Immediately began to adjust themselves to discipline, which is to convert tho recruit into a finished fighting man. David J. Griffith, of Columbia, son of Mayor Griffith, was the first to en ter the National tinny. The Colum bia quota went to Camp Jackson in automobiles and at 10 o'clock the wheel of muster began Hs continuous whirl. The young man to get the initial place In the muster roll ls the grand son of Capt. D. J. Crlfflth, who came out of the War Between the Sections In command of Company C, Fifteenth Regiment, Kershaw's Brigade. Capt. Griffith was made lieutenant when he was 17 years and six months old and was promoted to tho rank of captain when ho was but 19 years and three months of age. He was In many of the fiercest battles of the war and ls justly proud of his grandson, who bears his full name. Few Incidents marred the mobili zation scheme yesterday. By a mis conception of rules, Fairfield sent but two of her ten men and will send two each on tho four succeeding days. Plans tentatively wore to mobilize but 1 per cent of the 5 per cent daily. In Colleton county, th reo of the ten men called failed to appear. Oc casionally an "extra" was found, one of these being from Richland county and another from Saluda. In Aiken the board had much diffi culty in restricting tho number to the county's quota. Those near the top wore eager to get places on the first call and the question was finally ad justed by lot while tho train waited. One young man from Dillon was excused from reporting yesterday be cause of the death of his mother yes terday morning. Another young man from the l'eo l>ee, who has an alternate in his group, purchased a placo In the first call by "paying $1 and some cigars" to the young man who resigned In his favor. The boys form a healthy clan and responded gallantly all tho day to the lioaps of sandwiches, pies, fruits and cold drinks, which the Red Cross pro vided In a store-room near the union station. --.>.>.?-.-, Drives Out Malaria?

Eleven Killed, 02 Injured-107 IiOvo Lives ill Chatham District, London, Sept. G.- -Eleven persons j were killed and 02 injured in laut night's air raid, it is announced offi clnlly. Ono raider is reported to have bren brought down off Sheerness. Uah! Made hy Moonlight. The raid last night wag the first moonlight attack on the London dis trict. One bomb fell Just outside a hos pital, another smashed through a theater and still another hit a retail store in which a number of girls wore sleeping. Notwithstanding tho moonlight, nothing could be seen of thc raiders, although their engines could he heard overhead. That they were Invisible was perhaps due to a slight haze which, however, was In su Ilici?n t to obscure tho moon. The raiders were constantly shelled by anti-aircraft guns and several Brit ish machines took the air to attack (tie invaders. Tbs streets were practically desert ed at tue time, it being long aftor theati i hours. The few late street cars that wore running either put out their lights or stopped. A mes sage from a southeastern district says that apparently the Invaders crossed tho North Sea in three suc cessive groups, and that all were se verely shelled, both arriving and re ta ming. Reports from sontheost coast towns show that last night's raid was carried ont hy a very largo number of airplanes, only a small proportion of which reached the London dis trict. In a few cases heavy bombs were dropped, such as are remembered to have fallen during the Zeppelin raids, but, on the wholo, the projec tiles woro smaller. < ?er nm ii y Lends in Air Offensive. "Has Germany got her great air of fensive ready before ours?" ls a question asked by a morning paper apropos of the Invasion of England on throe successive nights, nnd Field Marshal Halg's overnight report of aggressive enemy aircraft. Another paper which assumes and frequently warns of Germany's Intention to in vade England with aircraft in very large fleets says: "The enemy seems to be getting on rather fast with Invasion plans. The Gorman aircraft un me, bombed departed. Our guns fired and our) j tirera fl wem np, hui without )tj ntl teco rd i nf; tn tho latosl lift o I ai ; report i, This ls the ninth, serious raid this summer, and of 127 ma chines which have crossed our coast Germany only admits the loss of seven." The imper refers to the growing casualty list and the relative Immu nity of the invaders, and adds: "It cannot be said that we are get ting on with our Invasion plans faster than the enemy." Deadly Work Ihme. London, Sept. 5.-The Chatham district for tho first time experienced an air attack on Monday night, when one or more bombs fell on n section of the royal naval barracks, killing 107 bluejackets outright and wound ing 80 others. Four bombs In all fell about the barracks, but two were harmless and, In fact, apart from those which took such a heavy toll of lives, tho damage in the whole area was insignificant. The barracks was fitted with sleep ing hammocks, and a majority of the men were asleep at the time of tho attack. The first Indication of the presence of air raiders was the sound of en glues overhead. The presence of high powered machines overhead did not causo much alarm, because notices had been published earlier in the evening that anti-aircraft practice would be carried oui that night, and when the guns began firing it was as sumed that the practice was In full swing. Then came tho unexpected. Loud explosions then eeasod, but af ter a few minutes they were heard again, and, judging by the sounds, lt seemed that the air raiders had cir cled the town. In all, about seven teen bombs were dropped and the raiders are thought to have been over the district nearly an hour. Search lights sought out tho raiders, but they failed to locate them, the visi bility being low owing to a slight haze, notwithstanding the moonlight. (Chatham ls on the east bank of the Medway, 30 miles southeast of London. It ls the seat of Immense military and naval establishments, including a vast dock yard, an arse nal and extensive barracks.)

According to the best information obtainable here, the party left Dub lin last night at 7.30 o'clock, headed i for Macon. They reached Jefferson- j ville about 10 o'clock and stopped at a drug store there for refreshments, and then continued their journey. Apparently they were driving with out lights and failed to see the turn in the road where the car plunged over the embankment. In the ruins of the wreck this morning a bottle ! partially filled with whiskey was j found. Whether the occupants of the j car had been drinking is not known. I When the car plunged over the embankment, the occupants were j pinned under the machine. The gas- , ollne in the tank exploded and all ' that was left of the car was the steel ' framework. The bodies were burned beyond recognition. I From the license tag on the car it was learned at the office of the Sec retary of State In Atlanta that the machine belonged to Charlie B. Bra- j dy, of Dublin. A gold watch, also found in the ruins where Brady's1 body had been burned, assisted In j the Identification. Later friends from Dublin went to Jefferson ville, 1 where the charred remains of the bodies had been taken and identified the body of the man as that of Brady. They also gave the information which led to the Identification of the two women. i The three members of the party were well supplied with funds, it ls understood. 'Each is said to have had more than $100, and the charred portions of some of the bills were found in the wreckage.
