Columbia, May 31.?The. State borrowing board today borrowed $600,000 to meet the running expen? ses of the Mate government until taxes como in. The money was bor? rowed from the National Bank of Huuiter at a rate of 2.69 per cent per annum, the lowest rate at which the State has over borrowed money. The lowest rate heretofore under former administrations was 2 ]>er cent. The rate 2.61) under Governor Man? ning means ? saving of thousunds of dollars to the tax pavers of the State and is one result of the business ad? ministration of Governor Manning. The last money borrowed by the State under formor Governor Blease last fall cost six per cent, nearly three times what the loan secured through Governor Manning will cost. St'MTEIt TRUCKERS MEET. Arrangements Made for Disposing of Potatoes Planted Tht* Year. A meeting of the Sumter Truck? ers' Association was held at County Court House at 11 o'clock Saturday. C. P. Ostoen, provident, presided. Secretary C. U Cuttlno stated that the chief object el the meeting was to complete arrangements for ordering burrels for shipping Irish potatoes and covers for barrels. He had order? ed already two car loads, or eight hundred barrels. All barrels ordered must be accepted and paid for on ar? rival by purchasers. It was decided that hereafter every order for barrels and covers must be accompanied by checks as the barrel manufacturers require the secretary to pay for the barrels on arrival at Sumter. The Union Brokerago Company will act as delivering agent of the barrels and covers. The Atlantic and Wes? tern Carolina (S. A. L.) railway depot will be used as collecting, grading, and shipping point. Potato growers will get their barrels and bring the po? tatoes Into this depot in the barrels, if they prefer. Secretary Cuttlno stated pe had ar ranKe i egsjti irt with South '"arnllna Produce Association to handle the Sumter Truck Association potatoes, the South Carolina Produce Associa? tion to receive five per cent for handl? ing same, if they sell direct, or eight per cent, if they have to resell through a second commission firms This com? mission covers the cost of a man to come to Sumter covr.ty to instruct members of the local association how to dig, when to dig, and how to grade. It was estimated that 150 acres of potatoes have been planted for ship? ment. It was further decided to levy an assessment of one dollar per acre for purchasing ar. automatic gradlns machine. The secretary stated that the South Carolina Producers' Asso? ciation can handle lrr;:o epiantlties of sweet potato's, \ rovided that the va? rieties for northern markets are kept until winter. See Secretary Cuttlno for Information on thla matter. Parties present agreed to plan 10 and one half acres of sweet pedatoes. ANSWERS BOH JONES.

ELEVENTH \\M?>\ m COME INTO GREAT ?.? RoPKAN CON Fl.it T. Troops of Italy ami Austria Face Each Other Along Frontier?Prohnbio That Oer many and Italy Will Dt> ciure War Against l ach Other. London, May 23.?Italy, the eleventh nation to enter the world war, has thrown down the gage of battle to Austria. Austrian and Italian troops in vast numbers face each other along the mountainous frontier. Most of Aus? tria's warships are at I'ola. The Ital? ian licet put to sea from Spezia weeks ago, and its whereabouts Is not j known. The official proclamation signed by . j Ithe king ilxed May 24 as the com ! mencement of the war, but almost I immediately the Italian ambassador at Vienna presented the Austrian for? eign office with the formal declara? tion, and shortly afterward Germany instructed hier ambassador at Romu to leave the Italian capital with the Austro-Hungarian ambassador. In an official statement issued at Berlin the German government says that by this attack against the dual monarchy Italy nlso has broken her alliance with Germany and adds that I the loyal relationship existing be? tween Austria-Hungary and the Ger? man empire remains unimpaired. Expectancy in the action of Italy has dwarfed interest In other mat? ters connected with tho war, and, : strangely enough, there has been lit? tle of paramount Importance to at- > tract attention. Rattles both In tho ' East and West are being fought much 1 after the manner of the past six months, with losses or gains here and , there. The Triple Entente powers have notified Turkey that all the members of the Turkish government and such | agents of the government as are found impllcate'd will be held per? sonally responsible for the massacre of Armenians. The condition of the king of Greece, ; who has been ill for several days, is reported to have taken a serious . turn. Because of the king's illness, the question as to whether Greece shall maintain her neutrality or enter the general conflict has been tem? porarily laid aside. TO HOLD ELECTION. Senatorial Vacancy I'mm Clarendon Will be Fillod. Manning. May 20.?In compliance with the order of the State executive committee a meeting of the Clarendon county committee has been called for Friday, May 28, to take the neces? sary steps looking to the holding of a special election on August 10 to fill the vacancy in the State senate caused by the recent death of Senator Louis Appelt. Lieut. Go I thea has not yet officially announced the vacancy and called for an election, but It Is understood that he will comply with the suggestion of the State executive committee as to the date. At the an? nounced meeting of the county com? mittee all necessary details will be arranged. There will probably be several candidates In the Held when ths campaign opens, but none has "been so far announced. It is known, however, that a number of citizens have approached Charlton DuRnat and requested him to enter the race and that he has taken the matter un? der consideration with a promise to announce his purpose next Monday. MANY KILLED IN COLLISION. London, May 23.?An official an? nouncement tonight says that 158 per? sons were killed or are missing as a result ot yesterday's triple collision on the Caledonian railway. All except i six of tho killed were soldiers of the Royal Boots regiment, 500 of whom were traveling in a troop train. At least 200 persons, mostly soldiers, were injured. These figures established a new record for railway accidents in the British Isles. Many of the injured are not expected to recover. Added to the horrors of the three trains coming into collision was a tire which broke out In the wreckage, and which rendered the rescue of those held in the tangled mass impos? sible. Tons of water were poured on I the wreckage but before the 11ames were subdued many Of the Injured, WSrfl but tied to death. Rlshopvlllc Sick Improving. Mr. John Moffett. who was taken to the Sumter hospital lo be treated for SppondloltlS IWO WOSks ago has been in a very critical condition, hut his friends will be glad to know that he has passed the critical period ami Is getting on nicely.

WINTHROP SUMMER SCHOOL. Lectures by Dr. Thomas M. Ralliet of New York University and Dr. Hen? ry F. Cope will Feature Session. Rock Hill, May 2n.?The letters and applications for registration coming into the office are giving proof of the interest of the teachers of the State in the opportunities offered here to broaden and deepen their training for thorough work. Probably none of the courses of Summer School are more highly ap? preciated than the lectures given by Dr. Thomas M. Balllet. Dr. Balliet is dean of the Department of Pedagogy of the New York University, and is America's greatest authority on the psychology of teaching. No one who has heard his delightful talks on children and their problems and on teachers and their preparation can fail to be fitted for better work in the future. Another feature of note is the se? ries of lectures by Dr. Henry F. ('ope, the General Secretary of the Kellgious Education Association. Dr. Cope gave a series of talks to the col? lege last fall, and the whole college felt Itself lifted to a higher plane by his conception of the possibilities of religion as a vital part of education.
