Columbia* April 12.-It seems likely that instead of holding the usual State summer encampment of the militia at Columbia this year the troops will be taken to Jamestown for military experience. Adjutant General Boyd is decided in favor of the Jamestown proposition, but he said yesterady that he would oe un? willing to spend more on the State encampment, on account of the ex? tra efforts that will have to be put forth to bring the troops up to the requirements of the Dick law, this year being the end of the five year period and equipment being badly needed all along the line. Of course the wishes of the troops will count largely in the decision, but from what can be gathered the military men are practically a unit in favor of going to Jamestown. Now it is esti? mated that the cost of a Jamestown trip will be at least twice that of en? campment here in Columbia, but from the way the military people are figuring it if the men are required to make up the difference out of their own pockets they will have to pay only about $5 extra, which is rather cheap for a trip to Jamestown. The last legislature appropriated $15,000 toward the militia for the special purpose of equipping it to meet the requirements of the Dick law, and there is $3,200 left over of last year's appropriations from vari? ous sources. This with about $26,000 expected from the federal government will make a total available of about $44,000. General Boyd says he will need every cent of $33,000 to spend on the militia in equipment and gene? ral expenses. This would leave about $14,000 for the summer manoeuvers, which is the usual amount spent on encampments. Xow the Third regiment has been ordered to coast service on Sullivan's Island from July 5 to 15, inclusive, but the State is not called upon to meet^any of this expense, and the men and officers of the Third general? ly seem to regard this as extra. Many of them expect to go to Jamestown also. This point has not yet. been passed upon by General Boyd. GREAT NAVAL DISPLAY". There Will Be Seventy-Five Warships at the Opening of the Jamestown Exposition. .. ? . ?

Lett*'!* by Attorney General to Fair field County Dispensary Board. Columbia, April 17.-The attorney general has replied to the query of the Fairfield county dispensary board regarding the acceptance of samples at quarterly purchases, stating that ii would be well for the boards not to advertise for samples to be sent with the bids, for while there is nothing in the Carey-Cothran act forbidding it there is nothing providing for these samples to be sent and in very few cases can the board buy goods by the samples submitted.

The monthly meeting and Smoker of the Chamber of Commerc, held in the Opera House last night was attended by a large majority of the membership and was both interesting and enjoyable. The first business of the meeting was the reports of the various stand? ing committees, submitted by the chairman of the several committees. Probably the most interesting of 'the reports was that made by Mr. H. C. Haynsworth, of the sub-committee on the passenger depot, which . visited Wilmington and conferred with Gene? ral Manager Kenly in reference to the improvements desired in the passen? ger station by the-people of Sumter. The result of the conference with Mr. Kenly and the depot improvements promised by him have been previous? ly referred to in this paper. The re? port of Mr. Haynsworth covered the facts hereofore given but in a more circumstantial manner. The report of the chairman of the i committee on new entereprises was supplemented by Mr. E. L. Wither? spoon of that committee with an out? line of a practical plan for encourag? ing the establishment of new manu? facturing enterprises. The plan was received with marked favor, and, on i motion, was referred to a special : committee consisting of the commit? tee on new enterprises and the chair? men of all standing committees. Brief addresses were made on good roads by Dr. J. A. Mood and Mr. Neill ?O'Donnell, on hotels by Messrs W. H. j Ingram and H. L. Scarborough, on advertising the town by Mr. C. M. j Hurst. A general discussion of various matters of interest was participated in by a number of members. A resolution was adopted extend? ing an invitation to the State T. P. A. to hold its annual meeting in 1908 in this city. A resolution of thanks was extend? ed to Mr. Abe Ryttenberg for the use of the Opera House and to the Sum? ter -Ice, Light and Power Co. for lights, which were furnished free| of charge. A resolution was adopted author? izing the president to invite three cit? izens of each township in the county to meet with the Chamber of Com? merce at a regular meeting in the near future to discuss the matter of improvement of the public roads. The meeting was concluded by a brief speech by Maj. Marion Moise. A Woman Tells How to Relieve Rheumatic Pains. .I have been a very great sufferer from the dreadful disease, rheuma? tism, for a number of years. I have tried many medicines, but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago, when I bought a bot? tle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I fo.und relief before I had used all of one bottle, but kept on applying it and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked. Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New street, Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale by DeLorme's Pharmacy. SIGNING YOUR NAME To a Check Makes You Think.
