.AIKKX THIRD SKLKCTIOX. 1'olunihia and Greenville \K<> Included in List of Site> for Training. Charleston. Alay I'd.?Columbia.) Greenville. Aiken. .Macon. Augusta.) and Atlata were the six cities announced today by Alaj. Gen. Wood as practically assured of getting training camps for the new army forces, while Chattanooga already has under course of construction a cantonment for one division and may get one or two more. Gen. Wood also stated that Charleston and Savannah unquestionably would be points of important activity for troops of the Southeastern department. Port Royal and Wilmington, X. C., will he investigated as to their availability. Gen. Wood's announcement as to training camp locations is regarded as virtually a selection of the seven cities named. If two or three divisions are placed at Chattanooga, and more than one at any of the other cities 011 the list, this will mean, of course, that the 12 divisional camps will be located at fewer than 12 cities, but Gen. Wood stated today that the list of sites is not yet completed. The department is now devoting most of its time to finally determining on the best camp sites. Gen. Wood said today there was little use of delegations visiting him in person to advance the claims of their cites for training camps, as plats and other data would suffice, if mailed him, and would receive the utmost consideration, because the department was just as anxious to get the best training locations as the proponents of "ideal sites" were of having them selected. Gen. Wooa will remain at headquarters several days, and his next tour of inspection will be to the training camps for re serve officers, including on his next trip that at Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas. Byrnes Fighting Hard. Washington, .May 26.?After being twice foiled by points of order today in his effort to amend the Lever food control bill by providing $10,000,000 to be used by Secretary of Agriculture in purchasing nitrate and selling it to the farmers at cost. Representative James F. Byrnes was still fighting for the proposition when the House adjourned this evening. The sustained points of order were that the Byrnes amendment was not germane to the language of the paragraph in which it was to be inserted. The third Byrnes motion was to strike out the words which made the amendment not germane. If this motion should prevail Monday it would be in order to propose the Byrnes amendment on its merits. Leading the parliamentary fight against the South Carolinan were: Fitzgerald, of New York, Anderson, of Minnesota, and Mann, of Illinois. Judge Saunders, of Virginia, ably assisted the Aiken member. BYRNES LOSES HIS FIGHT. Nitrate Amendment Not Attached to Lever Bill. Washington, May 28.?Representative James F. Byrnes was defeated today in his attempt to attach the nitrate amendment to the Lever food control bill. His motion to strike out the language of the law which makes his amendment not germane was lost by a majority of something like 112 to 37. Chairman Lever, of the agricultural committee, in charge of the bill, voted against the Byrnes motion. All the other South Carolinians voted foi it. Mr. Lever felt committed to the language of his own bill, but promised .Mr. Byrnes to help him put the nitrate amendment on a subsequent food control measure. The Aiken congressman believes that he will yet manage to secure consideration from the House on the merits of his modification of Senator Smith's proposition to have the government furnish nitrate for the farmer at cost. Hail Inch in Diameter. Georgetown, May 28.?One of the heaviest hail storms, of short duration, recalled by the proverbial oldest inhabitant passed over Georgetown about 5 o'clock this afternoon, breaking window panes in a number of residences and damaging to some extent gardens and truck farms. Its radius extended but a few miles beyond the city limits and no great damage to crops is reported. The hail stones measured jver an inch in diame^e ?nd remained on the streets like snow for several minutes. Big Force in France. London, May 28.?An official statement issued here today says that counting the Americans serving in the British and French armies and the additional units obtained in France there will shortly be 100,000 Americans in France. Hi 1ST \II> FOUCOTTK.V Charleston i^esson*. (kxk! Only in Theory. A first aid class in Charleston is said to have gone into bankruptcy since its last meeting. Called for a quiz by the examining physician, according to the story reaching Coltunj bia yesterday, the - "? or .'iP ladies I present answered ail questions perfectly and showed conclusively that they knew what to do in applying first aid. The physician asked one of tiie ladies to hand him a glass of water as tiie meeting proceeded but before he could drink it he turned pale, placed it on a table and fell fainting to the floor. With one exception every member of the class rushed from the room. The one remaining tore a sheet of blotting paper from a table, soaked it in water and placed it under the doctor's head before following her companions and leaving the physician alone and unconscious on the floor. He remained in this condition for some moments but was finally able to stagger to his feet and recall the class with the announcement, "Ladies, you have failed."?The State. Most Suspicious. "It is a rule, to which most good lawyers adhere," observed a wellknown attorney, "never to tell more than one knows. There was an incident in a Western town wherein a lawyer carried the rule to the extreme. "Counsel for one side objected to a person whose name was on the court's register for some purpose or other on the ground that he was dead. The counsel on the other side declined to accept the assurance and demanded conclusive testimony on the point. "Whereupon counsel for the other side arose and gave corroborative evidence as to the decease of the man in question. " 'But, sir, how do you know the man's dead?" demanded opposing counsel. " 'Well,' was the reply, 'I don't know. It is very difficult to prove.' " 'As I suspected. You don't know whether he's dead or not.' " 'Xo, but I do know this?they buried him about a month ago on suspicion!' "?Case and Comment. PORT ROYAL GETS MARINES... Ijarge Number to Be Quartered in South Carolina Town. Washington. May. 26.?Following the story printed from Washington in The State yesterday that big developments were in sight at the Port Royal naval station, it became known here today that the government is now closing options on leases of large tracts of land on or near Paris island, where not less than 10,000 marines may be easily accommodated. It is proposed, it is learned, to mobolize possibly 10.000 men there as soon as leases can be closed and necessary accommodations can be perfected and that hereafter not less than 5,000 will be kept there permanently, even in peace times. Marine corps officials are reluctant to make public their plans but when The State got the story a day or two ago as to what w^s contemplated, and it became public here, fuller details were then secured. With 10.000 men at Port Royal, the station will become even larger than it was before it was dismantled some years ago. Now. with plans ready for rapid development an unZion church. Making a sharp turn Killed in Auto Accident. Bishopville. May 27.?The usual quiet of the country Sabbath was rudely broken into today and the whole country shocked when it became known that in an automobile accident, which had befallen the car of Mr. James E. D. McCutchen, Sr.. his wife had lost her life and Mr. McCutchen himself and his only daughter. Minnie, had sustained injuries and shock that it is feared may prove fatal to both, especially to Mr. McCutchen, who is nearly seventy years old. The accident happened while returning from services at old Mount Zion church. Making a sharp turn in the road the front wheels ran into a hole or washout and this caused the car to turn turtle. The shock was so great that Mrs. McCutchen died almost instantly. Mr. McCutchen is suffering from shock and it is feared that the daughter, who was driving, and was pinned under the motor is suffering from internal injuries which may prove fatal. Some one asked a scientinc gentleman attached to one of UncieSam's bureau's at Washington whether, in his opinion, any of the so-called inanimate things can feel pain. "There is nothing surer in the world," said he. "Have you never observed how a piano wails and groans when the average performer strikes it?"?Washington Star. < ox<v>i KitXG r-i?).\T. 1 Inquire* Only Little Time to Come Into Full KlVect, Says Writer. London. May 2t?.?The Westminster Gazette published a message front a correspondent, who says the submarine menace is being mastered by a simple method, which the correspondent indicates is the invention of an American. "It is giving away no secret." the correspondent writes, "to say that the method which is reputed to be infallible, requires only a little time to come into full effect and wear the German submarines out. It is a model of simplicity. The press has been liberal in its announcement of Marconi's device, but while extending encouragement to Marconi, it must not be overlooked that the genius who perfected one of the most monumental advances in maritime navigation has devotecf his unremitting consideration to the menace and this resourceful American, too, has worked toward the device along independent lines." Asserting that the British have bet| ter submarines than the Germans, the message continues: "Only a little time is needed for our preeminent inventive brains to outstrip the pirate professors and by a method which is simplicity itself we have already the life of the Uboat campaign measured." Family Attacked With Axe. New Orleans, May 28.?Joseph Girard, a grocer, his wife and eightyear-old daughter, while asleep in their home here today were attacKea by an intruder with a hatchet and seriously beaten about the heads. Hospital physicians stated the wife and daughter may die of their injuries, their- skulls .being fractured. The police arrested John W. Summer, Jr., an ice dealer, who was accused by the Girards of the attack. MASTER'S SALE. State of South Carolina, Bamberg County.
