The Sumter men were informed by the members of other companies which passed through the station yard that the crowd there was the biggest which had been in any place when the home company pulled out.

He stated that the road between Columbia and Styx was very bad, being sandy In places and muddy In others, making it exceeding? ly difficult for automobiles. On their jWay the party were caught in two storms, one on the way to camp from ^Columbia and the other on the way home In the afternoon. Hl'SSI ANS CROSS CARPATHIANS.

Where S Sate had three or more regiments, enough to consti? tute a brigade or the skeleton Of a brigade, be said, the policy of the war department would probably be to appoint a brigadier general from the State and where the State fur nished less than three regiments, the indication., are that tliese regi? ments would be attached to the com? mand of the department comman ?1> r and of course would be subject to assignment by him.
