McLeod of the Gain den company reached camp here last week with his company anil while the men had Just begun to grub cactus and sage * hrush frtun the camp site, he was called by name ami on turning around was greeted by bis brother-in law. J. V, Arthur, whom he had not seen In nine years. Mr. Arthur Is a member of the Sixth Pennsylvania and holds a sergeauey In that regiment, lie brought ('apt. McLeod some Ice water and It Is needle** to say that the meeting was a pleasant one for both of the soldiers. Sergeant Arthur servQd seven years In the regular army was working in Pennsylvania wheii the I president called for the National Guard. He could not resist the Im pulse but Joined the (Company in the town III which he was and came on to the border. The Second regiment llnlshed its can teen and opened It for business on Friday morning. Lieut. Charles L. Smith of the Timmonsvllle company has been appointed as exchange officer j in charge of the canteen. Company tests are to be made be fore the regular army officers between August 27 and HO and the Palmetto companies have only the time from now until then to- get ready. The tests are to be in signalling, close and ex tended order drill, bayonet exercise j and target practice, field equipment, j tlrst aid and company combat. The Second began company drills Friday morning. Doth the First and the Sec ond are going on hikes by companies every day and 'having company drills. A terrific down|K)ur on Thursday night put the South Carolina camp to a severe test but with the exception of a few tents getting filled with wa ter the regiments came through In good order. The downpour lHHted several hours and was the heaviest rain this section has experienced In months and the top soil liere makes the water run Hfrht >?fr ? Practically none of it will" he soaked in as In the camp at Styx. Several of the regiments of National Guardsmen from other states were driven from their tents. Camp Stew art of the Pennsylvania division, which is encamped across the railroad from the Palmetto regiments and nearer the mountains, suffered from the wall of water which came down from the mountains. Lakes formed in several parts of the camp and did not run <>IT for some hours. Occupants of floored tents were not inconvenienced but the others were in some Instances driven out by water. However, all <>f the mililiiamen made the best of t lie situ ation ami there was no complaining. A hot sun ' on Friday morning soon dried up everything. The rain was a great relief t?? the Palmetto boys for it settled the sand storms for two days' at least and this is the only thing which is at all annoying to the men from South Carolina ami they are even getting used to that. The Palmetto camp Is well located , and the men think it tine. The First regiment began building its kitchens on Friday morning. There; will be a sheltered place for the men to eat and everything possible will be ? done to. make the kitchens as con venient as possible. Brigade headquarters is finished and all that is needed for the completion of thp organlzaton Is the arrival of the Florida regiment. This regiment j will encamp just below the First on the end nearer 'Fort Bliss. The camp site has already been staked off. The officers of the Palmetto regi ments were entertained on Friday af ternoon by Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Bryan, of K1 Paso. The County Campaign. The campaign for county offices lias j been unusually quiet (his year. The; meeting Monday was at Liberty Hill i with nearly nil candidates present, i The ladies bf that hospitable conunu [ nity had prepare*! mi excellent dinner: for all and candidates and visitors arej loud in tlielr pfaise of their hospitality, j On Tuesday nearly all candidates ac cepted the invitation of the Oantey j>eople to attend a picnic dinner. ITere, too, they were treated to another good ? dinner and a general good time. f)n Wednesday they sinilce at LugoflT and the* meeting yesterday was at Bla ney. ^ At. all of these places the meet ings -have been attended bj' the best of good humor and the campaign has been enjoyed by the i>eople and candi dates alike. * . .

FHiHTlNti IN THE BALKANS. : Great Movement l>y French, llrtt IhIi and Servians Still Developing. ? r I The ureal offensive opened by the i i I It's Sunday *>ii (he Salonlkl front ts developing lint no decisive net Ion lias been fought. The ltrltlsh 11 iitl French advancing on lhl? right have crossed the Struma. pushing northeastward to wards the Bulgarian frontier At the same time (lie Servians, who have oih'iumI a drive from Momistiv. report the capture of Hulga rian first line trenches. On the extreme left, how ever, Immediately south of Monastic they have suffered a severe reverse ami have evacuated the <5 reek town of Itaiihu. In the centre, at the month of thoj I great valley of the Vanlar the main i ; highway through Se.rvla. a vollenl ar | tillery action was lit progress. It was down this valley that the Teutpie Bul garian, forces made their victorious ad vance. and. according to military ex perts. Hs possession Is vital to who ever holds Servla. Reports from Salonlkl say that Ital ian t roups have landed there and will join in the general offensive. This, If corroborated, means that Italy has llnally decided formally to declare war tin Germany, as the (iennans are ad mittedly directing the Bulgarian cam paign. At certain points on t lie front1 Berlin rejwrts the Bulgarians on the offensive, hut l.ondon and Paris inter pret this as a move for political pur |K?ses and not as a serious attack against Salonlkl. A desire to affect public opinion in Roumania and to, influence the approaching Greek elec- 1 tlons is the motive behind Bulgaria's aggressive action, in Hie opinion of the allied capitals. . The oiHMdiig of the allied offensive at Salonlkl has been the signal for renewed rejxn'ts that Houmauia Is at last about to throw in her lot with the entente. These reports are more circumstantial than before and Ger man press comment Indicates that they are far from being devoid of founda tion. One Berlin newspai*\r declares that Roumania already has joined the allies and that plans are being laid for the march of a Russian army through Roumanian territory. The entry of Roumania into the war <ui the side of the entente would mean the forging of another link In the chain of foes surrounding the central powers. The material aid which Rou - mania could give would be of an Im portant . character. She lias had be tween oOO.POO and 000, (KM) troops mobi lized for nearly a year and her army Is reputed to be one of the best equip ped and train* d in Euroi>e. Fierce lighting continues in the le gion of the Stokliod. on the Eastern front, where the Russian advance men aces Kovel. The battle on the crest nf the Carpathians also rages, both shies claflning minor successes. < >n the Western front there 1ms been no material change in the situation since the allies started their great at tack Friday. German counter-attacks at several points along the . British lines, according to Londan. met with no success. The Germans also have made a powerful effort to capture Fleury. in the Verdun sector, but Paris reports a complete* repulse. The repeated unofficial reports that Portugal was about to take an active share on the Eurojiean battlefield ap parently are confirmed by an announce ment from l'aris that a British-French military commission has been sent to Lisbon. Dispatches fi*>m Portugal have described military preparations of a very extensive character, but there has been nothing to indicate Hie number of men under anus. Deutschland at Home. Berlin, August 2.'l ? ( By Wireless. ) ? The merchant submarine Deutschland arrived at the month of the Weser on August 2.'?, according to the Overseas News Agency. The agency says that the De.utschland arrived on the after noon of August 23 and anchored before the mouth of the YVeser. All on board weie well. The Deutschland left Baltimore on her return Journey on August 1, with a cargo of rubber and metal, and pass ed out the Virginia Capes on the ldght of August '2. LENOIR'S KOLLEK MILLS. Lake-wood Mills Mailing Flour at Kate of Twenty-Five Karrels Daily. A party of friends from Camden ac companied Mr. O. II. I^enoir to his Hour mill Tuesday afternoon to look it over. Air. Lenoir has l>een grinding steadily since June on old wheat, and has Just commenced on this years crop. He has spent something like three thousand dollars in equipping this plant and boasts that he makes the best flour in this sectfon of the coun try. And those who hrave used ' his flour say that it is fine. The mill was purchased in Owens l>oro, Ky., from the Anglo-American Mill Co., and is of an English patent, said to be the very finest made. It has an appliance for separating the whole wheat from that of the inferior grains, also all dirt and weevils are eliminated, making you get the pure wheat ground into flour. The capacity of the mill is twenty-flve barrels daily, and Mr. I>enolr says be can take care of all the wheat grown in, his immediate section, and also the neighboring counties. The mill la located on one of the prettiest mill popdg In tfils section, is fifteen miles betewfr Camden, on the old Charl* eston road and la easily accessible to the former* of this community. He has a water power 90- horse capacity, and also an auxiliary kerosene ^ngine for emergency. An electric dynamo fur nishes electric lights for night opera* tion. Mr. W. H. Freeman has charge of the plant and takes pleasure In showing It to visitors. /V HI KINESIS MAN'S VIEWS. \Y< M liuowit* l.ivestorU Dealer Says Manning Strongest in Haw, ? ..

"He Is the strongest man In the race and the man to beat Hlease," said Mr. Little.

Asked for his opinion as to how the gubernatorial race would go in this Immediate section, lie said that it would be very close with Hlease and Man ning leading the ticket and that In a second race practically every (Vmper vote in Kershaw County woidd go to -Manning.

FROM BOYS ON BORDER Sands of Border State Hot Hut At mosphere and IJrmcK Pleasant. Camp Stuart. 101 Paso. Texas, Aug. II. -The lirst South Carolina Regiment h it v' moved to the .Mexican border from its encampment at Styx. It is known a- the Palmetto Regiment and can he dejicnded upon t < ? serve its country faithfully. One of the foremost <?< mi - panics of this Regiment is the Kershaw Cuards. The remainder of the troops encamped at Styx moved t < ? the border the following day. The Kershaw (iuards had a delight fnl trip going by Greenville.. Atlanta, Chattanooga. Memphis. Little Hock and I 'alias. They left Styx Monday morn- j fin.'. August 7th, and arrived at El I'aso Friday morning. August 11th. They moved out to Fort Bliss inline- ( diately and Phere cleared away ?cdgc i and pitched t<ents. Fort IJiiss is six mile* out front 101 ? I'h-o and connected with El Paso by; hot h rail and trolley. The. /climate is very dry but on account the con stant winds the boys do not lind the I heat as oppressive as it was at Styx ' the nights are very cool and pleas- 1 a nl . The Camden boys will ver\ mucli ap preciate any correspondence from home. Their address Is: Co. M.. 1st, S. C Inf., Camp Stuart, El Paso, Texas.' All the other soldiers like to have the! South Carolina 1h?.vh for friend* ? are; proud to claim tiieni as "buddies." They are encamped next to the Penn sylvania troops, and the latter have treated the South Carolina boys with much courtesy. Ii is rumored about camp that in u.s? of an expedition into Mexico the Palmetto Regiment will form the ad veo?*ed gtmrd. " One thing that should be remem bered is that some of the boys who of fered 'Cheir services to their country were rejected because of physical ina bility. They should l>e given as much credit, as if they were serving on the border. Enrollment, of CV>. M.. showing stand ing of offleers, non-com missioned offi cers and privates August 14.: E. J.
