Nov. 1?Con-j gressman Fulmer, one of whose j specialties is keeping in touch with j the shifting plans for the- disposition j of Camp Jackson, gave out today j some interesting and authentic news! covering the situation as it now stands. After conference this afternoon with the army officials in charge Mr. Fulmer stated that the salvaging of all the abandoned camps has just been held up pending consideration by a board of staff officers of a plan lor utilizing the camps by the National Guard and organizations j for reserve training during the sum-j mer. Said he: "Instructions have been sent to the j Corps Area Commanders to submit I reports based on the ultimate cost of| maintenance in comparison with the value derivable from such utiliza- j tion. After hearing from these com- i I manders the board will weigh the: evidence and submit its recommenda-j \ i tion to the Secretary of War. As this, will'take about one month it is hard-; ly probable that the status quo at | Camp Jackson will undergo more j than minor changes before the middle f of December. "Auction sale of the buildings at j Camp Jackson has been held in abey-1 ance lending the outcome of this! later plun to suspend all salvage op- j e ration p. Some salvage material per-j taini.'ig to a certain cluster of build-j trigs at Camp Jackson has been al-. lotted to Camp Bragg and removal of! this special portion is now going on.' but this has been so arranged as not j to interfere with utilizing the camp as a whole should the new plan be! I adopted, and these special shipments | to Camp Bragg will not affect the! major portion of Camp Jackson." OFFICERS FIND STILL. i ; i i Swansea, Nov. 6.?Sheriff Roof, in j company with Constable W.
