"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do appoint Wednesday, the 24 th of October, as Liberty Day, urge and advise the people to assemble in their respective communities to pledge to one another and .to the government that represents them the fullest measure of support. On the afternoon of that day I request that patriotic meetings be held in every city, town and hamlet throughout the land, under the general direction of the Secretary of the treasury, and the immediate direction of the liberty loan committees which have been organized by the federal reserve banks. The people responded notably to the call of the first liberty loan with an oversubsription of more than 50 per cent. Let the ^ response to the second loan be even greater and let the amount be so large that it will serve as an assurance of unequalled support to hearten the men who are to face the fire of battle for us. Let the result be so impressive and emphatic that it will echo throughout the empire of our enemy as an index of what America intends to "do to bring this war to a victorious conclusion. nan nuuuaj. ?

Columbia, Oct. 14.?Coroner Jack A. Scott was shot and killed last ^night by Jesse W. Helms, a rural policeman of Richlanr county. The shooting occurred about midnight at, Arthur Town a negro sttlement, about four miles below the city. The two men were friends and /left the city Sunday afternoon for a trip down the country. They were returning to the eitv and became involved in a difficulty which resulted in the death of Scott. Helms notified the sheriff immediately after the shooting and Magistrate Griffith took charge of the body. Helms used a 38 calibre military r-.nd police revolver and the six chambers were empty. A 32 calibre revolver laid by the side of the dead man but no shot had been fired. Coroner Scott leaves a wife and six children. Blissful Ignorance. It was during the nerve-racking % period of waiting for the signal to attack that a seasoned old sergeant noticed a young soldier fresh from home\ visibly affected by the nearness of the coming fight. His face was pale, his teeth chattering and his knees tried to touch each other. It was sheer nervousness, but'the sergeant thought it was sheer funk. "Tompkins," lie whispered, "is it trembling you are for your dirty skin?" "No, sergeant," said he, making a brave attempt to still his limbs. "I'm trembling for the Germans: they don't know I'm here."?London Opinion. 4 ^ Dying By Inches.

War Department Discussing Advisability of Ordering 2nd Increment. Washington, Oct. 12.?Discussion of the advisability of expediting the call for the second increment of the draft army is now in progress at the War Department and it appears likely that the date may be fixed for some time in December or January. Mobilization of the first increment of GST,000 men is now far enough advanced to show clearly that there will be a big deficiency for the Seventeenth national army division. More than 250,000 of the first increment are still to be assembled, but i it already is evident that there will be available at the sixteen cantonments quarters for an additional regiment at each post and at some for a full brigade of two regiments, Big Shortage Certain. The strength of the new regimental organization is o,600 men. With a regiment lacking at each cantonment this alone would mean a shortage of nearly 50,000 men. In addi-1 tion there has been authorized a separate division of negro troops, whichJ means nearly 30,000 men withdrawn from the original number assigned to the sixteen cantonments. The shortage is due partially tu the necessity of taking out of national army men to fill up National Guard divisions. Two complete national army divisions of Southern troops have been absorbed in this way. The remnants of three other Southern national army divisions will be consolidated to form a single division unit and the surplus men from other camps will be sent South to make up the missing divisions. To Fill Up Gaps. Drafts on the national army forces also must be made to fill up the enlisted personnel of the aviation service, the medical corps and the service battallions needed behind the fighting lines abroad. Eventually there will be 250,000 men in the last named service alone and aviation and the medical service will take nearly as many more, though not all of them will be taken from the national army. Operating to delay the calling out of the second increment to make good these shortages are several fae-. tors. Clothing and equipment is coming forward only at a rate that can meet the demands of the forces already called and the railways of the country have been over burdened with the job of moving the army without hindering freight shipments vital to the Allies. Rests With Crowder. Fixing the date of the call for the second increment probably hinges also upon the careful study being made by Provost Marshal Gen. I^rowder and his assistants of the results of the plan followed in assembling the men called first. < Beans valued at $3,366,540 were exported from Brazil during the first quarter of 1917.
