INhE$TMG ITEM FROM THE GAMPS NEW CAMP BEING BUILT SOME TWO MILES FROM IAEOULAR SITE OF CAMP JACKSON. MUCH CONSTRUCTION WORK Gen. W41son Has Recovered and Has Taken Charge of Provisional De. pot at Camp Wadsworth. Camp Jackson. A new camp is being built some two miles from Camp Jackson. Ma'y civil ian workmen are engaged tierm in 'building barracks and the new camp ,has already stretched over a very wide area of country. A railroad track be been built to the place and much lumber has been hauled and is being hauled to this new camp over this line of railroad. A number of barracks have been built already and a water tower and fire station, have been built and are now in operation. There is much lumber scattered all over the territory for several miles where this camp is being built. The new camp will cover an area of several square miles. As yet no soldiers are stationed at this camp, except a detachment of mil Itary police for guard duty. The location of the new camp is high and dry and sandy. Much of the land which the camp will occupy is in pine woods, while many acres of the area were farmed this year aid here and there now may be seen a field of cotton or a field of corn, as yet un gathered. Some of the scenery around the new camp is most picturesque. The hills and the valleys, the green foliage of the tall pine trees and the variegated foliage of oaks and other trees at this season of the year presents a most beautiful picture. The Bank of Columbia, which bank is at all times alive to the interests of the officers and men at Camp Jack son, and is at all times willing to ac commodate them in any way possible, has opened a branch office in the camp exchange, where a regular banking business will be conducted. Two deaths from pneumonia as the result of influenza occurred at the base hospitlal recently. Both men were white privates and were as follows: Donnie Weaver, Marlboro, and John W. Harwood, Albemarle, N. C. Camp Sevier. The extensive program for barrack and other construction work at Camp Sevier, re'ently authorized by the war depatrment, is now well under way. The work includes the construction of two story barracks, enlarged mess halls, kitchens, bath houses, etc., for the accommodation of approximately 16,000 men. These are to be construct ed on the area lying near Paris Sta-, tion, onm Piedmont & Northern Rail way, the site occupied by the First South Carolina Infantry and a North. Carolina -regiment wvhen they first came to Sevier just after the camp was established last year. In addition to these barracks, a do tention camp and a quarantine camp, the former to accommodate 4.000 men and the latter 1,000 ~men, are to be constructed further north on a part of the camp reservation which has never before been' occupsied. These camps will include one story wooden huts.: They will be subdivided into areas separated by barbed wire fences. Camp Wadsworth. Immediately after his discharge .from the 'base hospital at Camp Wads worth, Brig. Gen. William Wilson, who recently underwent an operation for. appendicitis, formally assumed com mand of the provisional depot for' corps and army troops, relieving Col. J. F. Gohn, chief of staff, who has been temporarily in charge. When Maj. Gen. Guy Carleton was placed in com mand of the Ninety-Sixth Division, General Wilson was ill and the com mand therefore fell to Colonel Gohn. The latter is to continue as chief of staff and will also act as camp execu tive officer.

Spartanuburg.-During the greater ~part of two days Spartanbtrrg has been practically without gas and officials of the South Crolina Light, Power & Railway Company, when asked If they could make awv statement as to when the service will again he normal, de clared .that there is some doubt as to how long it will take to repair dam ages done to the gas mains, and that while overy available man has been secured on thme repair work, just, how long it will take to complete the'work, Camp GMMOU I ER"ONE A Splendid Organsatbie of Nlve Hn dred Women in eSiurtanburg Ready for Any Service. The women's auxiliary to the War Camp Community -ervice In Spartan burg is an organisation of 6" women ready at all times to render services OS any kind. It was through the woman's auxil. Iry that Mrs. Robert Cleveland work ed so effectively for the Fourth Lib erty Loan. It has taken a very definite stand in the social life of the soldiers at Camp Wadsworth. The special concern of the women is to bring about a whole. some and attractive relation between the men in uniform and the best social element In Spartanburg. A delightful social atmosphere has been achieved.' Home hospitality is being universally -expressed and fem inine sympathy has developed a sys tem of hospital visitation that is a profound influence on the morale of the men at the base hospital. Army women receive special consideration at their hands upon arrival and are affiliated with citizens of their own type and kind. The auxiliary us an organization or individually stands ready at all times to help in all campaigns and will be of invaluable assistance in the united drive for funds. Criticise Prayer Signal. Greenville.-Greenville's one minute of 'bsolute darkness throughout the city every night at 9 o'clock as a sig nal for prayer for the success of the allied armies has been criticised re cently in the public prints by several citizens who, while appreciating and praising the spirit of the plan, believe that the turning out of the lights Is fraught with possibilities of danger that would be avoided if some other prayer signal-the ringing of a bell, for Instance-were adopted. One well known physician In an article to a local newspper, cited a recent surgi cal operation of a serious nature, the patient being an 18 months old boy. At a critical moment during the oper stion, the lights went off. The 60 sec Dnds were anxious ones and the long wait during which practically nothing could be done for the little patient wus the source of intense anguish to the child's father who was pesent. Others, discussing the situation in a public way, have expressed somewhat similar views and it is possible that the matter of changing the form of prayer signal will be taken up offi cially. Autos Are Stranded. Camden.-About 100 automobiles were stranded in Camden for nearly a week, being unable to cross the Wa teree river near here. The last time cars went across the cable operating the ferry broke, causing the boat load. ed with a number of cars, to go down stream. - Fortunately the cars were all got back safely and the ferry was dis continued. On the west side of the river many cars wore parked at the homes around Lugoff. Most of the automobiles are owned by tourists en route to points in F'lorida for the win ter season. An appeal has been made to' the Seaboard railway to transfer the cars over in flat cars, but owing to the in'aiility to get the flat cars nothing has been done. Wolfo Names Clerks. Anderson.-Sam M. Wolfe, who will be elected, attorney general of South Carolina next Tuesday, made known his appointiments for the engrossiiig department of the general assen'bly for the next session of the genemal as sembly. Mr. Wolfe stated that the re tiring attorney general would have the privilege of appointing half of the clerks. Mr. Wolfe's appointment. are as follows: John J.

M. Killingsworth of Abbeville, The name of the appointee for as sistant attorney general has not been given out, although Mr. Wolfe states that he has been tentatively seeleted. Dies In France. Camden-A message was received in Camden from the war departmen* announcing the death in France of Private Henry T'. Bown of this city, his death having occurred on Oct9bel 5 from 'pneum2Onia. He left here a temu months ago .and was with the field ar tillery. For a number of years he was employed in Camden -as a salesmai and at the time of his entrance intsc the service was agent for the Stand. ard Oil Company. As a mark of re spect to the young man the several church !bells of the city were tolled Approve Year's Work.

Ina Expoeted by Fod Adminietra tion to Grow Bread Crope-Rye Suited to South Cailnaw Soil. Columbia.-With the present in gent demad or bread crops, it be omes the-duty of all patrlitio farm. era of South Carolina to produce dur ing the coming year all the bread crops possible, says the Food Admin istration. Not oinly is the Food Ad ministration urging a larger acreage In wheat, but it is pointed out that rye should likewise be planted on a larger scale than ever before. It is taken for granted that South Caro lina farmers have realized, generally - speaking the necessity of making their lands produce food crops, and that, therefore, they will plant at least enough wheat to provide for them selves, and wherever possible, to help fill up the nation's wheat bin. In planting rye also, the farmer has an opportumhty to help his country and himself. Rye is an excellent substi tute for wheat, in fact has almost equal value as a bread crop. Rye grows well on nearly all types of soil in South Carolina, and requires com paratively little labor to produce it. It offers financial returns to the farm. er. It serves as a cover crop during the winter, and it may be harvested in time to plant a crop in the spring. Clemson College experts say that the Abruzzi is the vasiety to grow in South Carolina, and that it will do better if planted on land that has been well plowed and harrowed early in the faZ. It will do well, however, if planted on corn land if plowed into cultivation, or better still if plamited with a one-horse drill. Rye does not require hea;vy fertilization, but it will do well to apply from 100 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate and about an equal amount of cotton seed meal at the time of planting. It should be seeded at the rate of 4 to 6 pecks per acre. The time for planting is not as important as for other small grains. It will probably do best i planted In October or early November, but it may be planted as late as December first. COTTON SEED PRICE REDUCED $1 PER TON Columbia.-The stabilized price of cotton seed in South Carolina has 'been reduced $1 per ton, the new price becoming effective on Octo ber 17. The announcement made by the Food Administration was as follows: "Effective October 17, the stabilized price for cotton seed in South Carolina has been reduced $1 per ton by the Food Administration. The new sta bilized price for cotlen seed in South Carolina in car lots is $71 per ton, and in wagon lots $68 per ton. (Signed) "WILLIAM IDLLIOTT, "Food Administrator for South Carolina." GROCERY STORES EXPECTED TO HELP HOUSEWIFE SAVE Columbia.-By the display of fair price certificates in the windows of loyal retail grocery stores, the public will be able to determine what stores are co-operating in the enormous food saving program which the warr'has Im posed and which Americs is obligated to fulfill. The Food Administration announces that all retail grocers will be asked to sign pledges to conform to the rules and regulations, as set forth by the Food Administration, and to co operate fully in the conservation pro gram. The housewife who is saving in the kitchen and on the dining table to help win the war and to help feed the civilan populationof the war stricken countries naturally desires to patronize only such dealers as are do ing their share la the same direction. All dealers who sign the pledge will receive direct from the Food Admin istration attractive certificates which are to be p)osted in the store windows. The certificates read: "The United States Food Adminis trat ion. 1"This certinies that (name to be in serted) has enlisted in the service of the nation and as a dealer in the necessaries of life pledges to abide by the rules and regulations of the U. S. Food Administration to give all cus tonmers the benefit of fair and moder ate prlces,~ sellint the necessaries at only a reasonable advance over c@at regardless of market conditions, to discourage and prevent hoarding and waste, and to co-operate fully in the food conservation program in order to save foo4' for our people, our armies and1 those of the allied nations." 'r'ho certificate bears the signature at Herbert Hoover. RETREAT OF GERMANS INCREASES RESPONSIBILITY Columbia.-Although the allies are pushing back the Germans toward the Rhine and have the Hun on the run there will be no let up in food con servation, says the Food Administra tion. Relaxation of conservation ef fort now would be dangerous. As a matter of fact, It is pointed out by IHorbert Ihoover, in a telegram to Wil-! liam Elliott, federal food a'iministra tor for South Carolina, that the re treat of the Germnans creates a bigger work for the Food Administration, since Ze civilian population in the territory which is evacuated by tooe ifotreating enemy must be fed. Hit Old "Bill"' and His Nit' Son With a Cr6ss Tie' To safely carry your sons and btothers, who are your country's soldiers, to and from the camps for training and to ports for embarkation cross ties must be had in abunda.l0e and In safe and sound condition, and -you can help to fight the Kaiser by producing them. Cross ties are the fouindation of your railroads and pare nieeded for the safe transportation of your mothers, your daurhters, your sisters and your wives who attend the needs of tho boys as the Red Cross nurses, as Young Wonen's Christian Association workers, or for other duties in; thoir many missions of mercy to cheer and take care of the sick and wounded. Cross ties are needed to make surq the safe and prompt Movement over the thousands of miles of railroads of the grain and other products your sons and brothers and our allies in Europo must haive for use and their sustenance dur ing the conduct of the "war for democracy." Without cross ties the safe and sure transportation of the country's coal, iron ore, steel manufactures and other products and materials necessary for the oultput of munitions and ma terials needed by your troops cannot be supplied to fight the Kaiser, and without your help the cross ties needed cannot be had. Cross ties are needed for the maintenance of civil popula tion of our country who are working for the- troops who are fighting the Kaiser. Without the slightest doubt you can be assured that every cross tie you cut will be used to hold together a'piece of railroad track over which will ride some of our troops who will fight the Kaiser.
