I A TRIP TO THE CAMP. - ? \ I On last Sunday I hooked up 111 and my mascot and invited my neigh-, feor, J as. R. Davidson, to take a trip with me to the camp in Columbia, as ? ' - 1 J V ! 1 wantett 10 see my suiuier ?eant Humbert M. Aull, one more time. We left Newberry at 6 a. m. and1 drcre up to the home of James L.' Aull, one of the boys who lives in Co-| lnmbia. A pretty good record for 111 | fpfoen I am at the wheel. The run-j Ring was good, but the roads are bad, I I and I would suggest to Ebbie-Wat-' ?or: that maybe be has overloaded this; highway with big names. The" I*iedxaont and the Appalachian all for one road is too much of the good thing.' From Newberry to Spring Hill, almost' the entire way, the roa'd is about a3* bad as it has ever b6en, and from Lit- j tie Mountain on to the Richland line et Wateree creek it scarcely deserves . the cam* of a public highway. Wonder why the people are satisfied to feave such a road. ?o? lifter breakfast we drove oat to the' camp at the fair grounds and found! th? Newberry boys of Co. K, and spent [ a couple of hours there. The colonels j and the captains were out in town,' Ixut we found the boy and we were j ' ] pleased to see him looking so well and j seemingly so well satisfied with the! ^ army. It is well that it is so. We' I < - saw several of the Newberry boys?, Chappell, Keiser, eFllers, Schroder, ' Cromer?and the others, and they are All in food health and having a good time and taking life easy. When they get to the camp at Greenville I am told v. they are going to have some strenuous training, and there' will be more i vorlc. I also saw my friend, Captain Vf. A. Hudgens of Anderson, and he; I was looking well and enjoying camp life I was sorry that I missed Col. McCully, tout he had gone to the city. *vv >;. v~ I There, was- not much evidence that it, - ,v ' . ? "was Sunday, and they say at the new % - I ?o*tonment they pay extra for work om-Stiadfcy. -In fact, a high officer re-j jaarked to me that there wag no Suni day in times of war, or m The war, and I reckon he is correct. Some of; the Woodiest battles In istory of: wars have been fought on Sunday. War is not a Sunday school any way. I was reading an editorial in The State the other day, in fact it was v i Tuesday's paper, on "It Is Prohibiting," and I was wondering if the ediiox really believed what he wrote or \if fce was ignorant of conditions in his1 town, and if it were true that there fe prohibition in Columbia. And If. lb ere is really no whiskey tnere how j' ? ?MAMAnrA 4 VIA I VU lUKy ill a u 0.5 c WJ gci luc ui uun. ; Veil, I hope he is correct, but my in-j formation is that there is no great i I diouth at present in the city. i* The boys will probably leave the city today for Greenville, and will reEiein there until they are taken to the? tieoches in France. And that in all M * ' i- - 1-. *Q11 prcroauiAiiy win ue iu cue c<u iy j " ?. i Somehow I should think that Green- j viile would be a better place than' Columbia fdr the traiping. I Jiop# the' boys will all remain in good health Bid that they may all have a safe re- j turn home after the war is over, but tkat is hardly possible. ? Ob the return trip we had a good run, but made two or three stops. I ( ' cculd not convince my friend Jim Dav-, I idson that there were many more rocks an the road on the return trip than there were going down in the morn-j ing, but I am sure there were a great many more. I do not see why they could not find some sort of top dressing for the roads that was not en tirelv made of small sharp gravel, I tout that is better than no top dressang^at all. ^ ^ ' ?I stopped for a few minites at Lit* tie Mountain to see my old friend [ Mr. Noah Boland who lias been quite | sick for some time. an3 was please-!: to find him much improved and look- j ing well. I hope be may soon be in ] i his wonted health and active in the business life of the community. i ?o? . ( The crops along the way are look- j ing very well. Around Little Moun-: | tain and on down near Columbia there, na.s Deen plenty 01 ram, aiiu were it> ^ an abundance of fine corn and some good looking cotton. But cotton doe3 ^ not need so much rain. There is go- i ing to be a big corn crop in this sec-, tion of the world this year unless all ( signs fail, that is a big -crop for us vc-o o r?nrn p-rnwiriV section. ' No, I didn't see the governor whiles in Columbia, but I did see my young! fiiend Major John D. Frost an5 lie is looking as bright and serene and hap- j py as ever.

Their Ntwo developments were: i lilt; new p<ti Ly uioc ii-i me *ww?? slag, indifferent as to the views and proposed policies of the new chancelloi Dr. Michaelis, proposes to challenge him upon the conclusion of his maiden speech Thursday afternoon to subscribe to the principle of "peace without annexations and indemnities." J. 2. The centrist party, the predomi- , n2ting factor in the whole crisis and ihc driving power behind the bloc, took occasion today to apologize in its , p?rty organ, Germania, for the recent, o ~ ~loo/lor Fir I'jTZ <*. 1UC1AJ ft. VSi. 1U i(.uuvi | w~ berger, on the submarine campaign. : There is one significant sentence in tl is apology which shows beyond all doubt that one of the main things nhat precipitated the whole crisis was the failure of the U-boats to "force England to her knees" by a sepcified date. That date is believed to hare been July 1. At the time unrestricted U boat warafre was inaugurated It had the full sunnort of the centrists and of Ezrgerger personally in psirticuiar. Nor has there been any marked decrease of confidence as to the effi-! cacy of the weapon. The one grie-! vous mistake the naval and military leaders made, however, was to set a definite period in which they claimed 4~ n-niil/^ turn tVip trick. lUir MlUiliai nuuiu tuiU v?w They asserted the iU-boat^ would set in their deadly work before Amer-,, ica could throw her full weight into the fray. On that claim alone the advocates of unrestricted sub3eas warfare were able to swing their!' opponents?including Bethmann-Koll-1 wee?into line. j1 A Failure. "Our strongest ocensive forces, the U-boats," says Germania in its apol? - - VI ? c-gy, "injuries England nnmeasumuiy Nevertheless, no end is to be foreseen at this moment." : That is the grievance at the root of the whole opposition. For fti secret sessions of the reichstag's main com-! mitlee during those fateful ending days of January, the party leaders were a?-] su'ed that the beginning of England's end was within measurable, predeter-. ?" ? J -1-1 ~ /in na fli/i TT-hnftT1* Ilil T.?11?LU1TZ UISUIUV'U VMVV w unleashed. That promise?and that alone?llnallr brushed aside the last vestige of I opposition to war with America. Hdllwe^s Fall, iWas the awakening to the fact that Bethmann-Hollweg allowed himself to be deceived by this promise?was this tn.e underlying cause of his fall? More tli&n one sign points to an affirmative reply to this uestion. q Propaganda. Meanwhile the pan-Germans are brewing new trouble. They are carrying politics into the army. Pamphlets' uiging a peace with annexation are circulated on the fronts. The Social-1. ! ists and radicals incensed over this, bui determined not to let their oppon- 1 i +c atAni a ba^e on th?m. are planning ] to go the junkers one better. The Rheinische Zeitung goes so far as to suggest the formation of a "workmen's and soldiers' council after Rus-j ?*an model," saying if it comes to I.-ass it will be the conservatives' fault ! Tremendous danger to the unity and discipline of the army lurks behind this new propaganda. j It developed today that the post of( foreign minister, relinquished by Dr.; Zimmerman, is still open. The chief rivals for the office are Count Bern-j trail and Admirable von Hintze. The former, a cousin of Count I Eernstorff, is minister at Copenhagen;! I the latter was ofrmerly minister at Peking, later in Mexico and now in j Christina. The movement in behalf of Count Bernstorff also continues. Demotion. Repots that Count von Bernstorff5 is to replace Count BrockdorS at Copenhagen are doubted here since appointment of minister to the little Scandinavian kingdom, after h* was for years the empire's ambassador in the United States, would represent a demotion which even his i>olitica] enemies would not consider deserved. Admiral vori Hintze is strongly boomed by the pan-Germans for the foreign secretaryship. George M. Pernhard, the eminent political contributor to the columns of the Vossische Zeitung, commends Bernstorff to the attention of Chancellor Mtchae- | iL&, picturing xae cwiuimmmxmivi possessing all the qualifications reqiired for tbe poft. , STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEET Prof. Herd Peterson Named as State Supervisor of Agricultural Inspection to Provide for Teaching Agriculture. j Columbia, July 17?The State board of education concluded its special meeun^, auer completing seme won: i in regard to bonds and contracts con-; rected with the recent adoption of textbooks for the public schols.
