Washington, Sept. 27.?Congress this week will undertake enactment of the war tax bill and completion of anti-trust legislation. The war reve? nue measure, already passed by the house, is before tho senate finance committee. The Clayton anti-trust bill conference report will he taken up hy the senate Monday. Administration leaders believe both of these measures can he disposed of within ten days, lloth. however, will be assailed. Notwithstanding President Wilson's Indorsement of the Clayton bill. Sen ator Heed of Missouri will make an effort to have it recommitted on tho ground that it has been weakened by elimination of specific penalties and modification of many features. He will receive strong Republican sup? port. The agreement will be reported later in the week In the house and little trouble is expected in having it approved. The senate finance committee hopes to have the war tax bill ready as soon as the Clayton bill is disposed of. Conferences of Democratic leaders will be held tomorrow to consider tho legislative programme for the rest of the session. There la every indication of a de? cision to drop the bill for tho govern? ment purchase of ocean going ships. Champions of the bill already have in? dicated a desire not to push it but tho president Is to be consulted before any definite understanding is reached. While the senate debates tho Clay? ton bill tho house will continue discus? sion of the Jones Philippine bill. This measure. Democratic leaders declare will encounter serious opposition In the senate und will hold congress in? definitely if there Is a disposition to p.ms it before adjournment. Republicans and Democrats alike ere growing restive as tho fall cam - paign approaches. FfcSTI VITUS f \) It THANK SUIV I NU. ? ? i Ing .Association 1-V>rmcd With W. II.

A meeting will be held at .'ham? ber of Commerce tonight tc com? plete the plans of organizations, and to arrange a program of automobile, horse, und auto-cycle races for Thanksgiving Day. The races will occur on the old race course about one mile from tho center of the city, at the foot of Kast Calhoun street. This track -was built about 30 years sgo when the old Sumter county Fair Association was organized, und which went to pieces. Tho track has never been torn out and was consid? ered by expert hir'men as one of the finest In tho com y. it Is a otic mile track. It Is said that tho Sumter Driving A ?? aiatn>n is composed of i number ot Sumter's most enthusiastic and prominent horse owners, automobile and auto-cxele enthusiasts. it is nut improbable that tho Thanksgiving Day races will be sup? plemented by other forms of amuse? ments. a Dagger's Point. If we ma\ be pardoned the use of su? h a wool, one of the humors of the war bus been the use of cold SlOel by Knglish troops ml the natives brought to their aid. Indian troops.

Japan Has Lightest And Smallest: Germans, are Speedy, hut are roint od-Nose. (From the Medical Record.) The various tablets used hy armies Of civilized nations admit of being grouped In thre.^ classes, one of these classes of projectiles is called the reduced calil>rc, Jacketed bullet. The second class ineludes the leaden '"alls in shrapnel and the blunt-nose bullet formerly in use in the British ?army and subsequently used by tin Servians. To the third class belong the expanding bullets, the soft-nosed bullet and the dum-dum bullet Some authorities speak of the tlrst class as \ the pointed bulle!. It has less stop? ping power than the other two. Tin? greater part of t ie nations of tin world use the offtval bullet, a pointedI ballet whose tip forms an ObttUM angle like an arch. Tho two bullets now in use, the ogi val and the blunt-nosed, have a rotary end a nmbbUng motion* on Impact they produce a wound like that made by the btoW of a hammer. This effect s? . nis to be observed ut all ranges, but particularly at 1,001 yards. Here the gyroscopic Steadiness due to ro? tation is lost; the bullet may even turn on its axis and produce explosive ef? fects. Lateral impact seems the only explanation of these explosive effects. The unstable Japanese bullet, un? stable because it is the lightest and smallest in use, makes at S00 to 1,000 yards perforations whieh are large, with explosive exits, and in the soft viscera a wide track showing a great de.it of laceration. These effects are lobahly the result of the bullet's I OUmSi which, is a tangent to the curve of the trajectory. la-fore it takes a curve, at very short ranges it has ef? fects less severe, but here its stopping peWet is less. In this respeet it is much InfOrlOff to the blunt-nosed bul? let. The action of both these types of modem bullets on the human body would at tlrst sight seem to be the I same, but careful Inspection of wounds during the Balkan war sJtOWS that' WOSJSidg eaused i>y the sharp-nosed Germun or Turkish bullet were on the whole more favorable for speedy heal? ing than those caused by the blunt nosed Servian bullet. There Is, however, marked defect of the pointed bullet. The result of shaving off the tip and shoulder to a line point is to throw the centre of gravity very far back; this peculiar* ity tends to make the bullet travel on Its transverse axis. This effect in? creases wounding power by Increasing , the area of the wound. The dum-dum bullet has a jacket and a core of lead, but its special qual- | ity Is the projection of the lead be-I yond the mantle. When it strikes an object tho soft lead spreads out in the shape of a mushroom, hence the bullet causes wounds that have great stopping power. HAIL FUR HARRISON.

Last Thursday Mesrrs. Walker and Milllgani two of the promoters, ar? rived In Manning and held a confer? ence with gentlemen of Summerton and this town, after which an Bgree n cut was reached by which these gentlemen agreed to extend their op- i era lions from St. Paul thfough sum- | mcrton to Manning, conditioned that Bummerton would donate the- sum of $6,000. u right of way through the town, and a depot site; Ma unit;-' ( donate $10,000 with rights of way und depot site; this proposition was tentatively agreed to, Manning also of- i fared to donate sufficient land for the 1 railroad shops should the shops he lo? cated here, Friday night another mass meet? ing ^ s held to confirm the action of the committee, petitions wa re put In circulation for the election necessarj for tho Issuance of bonds necessary to raise the $10.000, and with com? mendable quickness these petitions were signed.
