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.

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.

Mr. John Moffett. who was taken to
the Sumter hospital lo be treated for

Mr. J, Ed. McCutehen, Jr., whose
life was in the balance for several
days last week, has rallied from the
shock and is now considered out of
danger, pnless some other complica?

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.
