SUM1T.R MEN ENTHUSIASTIC.
Appreciate Attention Shown Them on
Their Departure for Styx.
That the members of Sumter Light
Infantry. Company L, National Guard!
of South Carolina, are very appre?
ciative of the attention shown them
Saturday morning on their departure
for Styx by the people of Sumter is
the message sent oack to Sumter
yesterday by citizens from here who
visited the camp at Styx during the
day.' The send-off was the biggest
which any company in the regiment
had," stated Maj. J. W. Bradford, who
was especially pleased that a big*1
crowd gathered at the station to bid
the boys farewell and to cheer them
as their train pulled out.
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. This
was very gratifying news to the Suni?
ter boys, who have willingly left their
Lome for their duty on the military
field.
Mr. J. J. Epperson, who with his
two sisters and Mr. Stansill Smith,
visited the camp yesterday in an au?
tomobile, stated that the Sumter men
had found on their arrival the site
for their camp covered with under?
brush, which they cleared away in a
'couple of hours before they could
pitch their tents. The tents were con?
siderably shaken Saturday night by a
wind storm and Sunday shortly after
noon a heavy rain and electrical
storm came up. During the electrical
storm lightning struck near the camp
and several men were shocked, but
jonly one was stunned into uncon?
sciousness. He recovered also in a
.short time.
Mr. Epperson stated that there
j were still a great many tents to be
erected and undergrowth to be clean?
ed out In the company streets and
about the camps, but that this &ork
v/as gradually being done and the
place was assuming the appearance of
a regular camp. 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.

Camden, June 23.?A big surprise
was sprung upon the blind tigers op?
erating in and around Camden Thurs?
day when cily officers arrested 13

cer here, now holding a commission
from the governor, secured the evi?
dence against tho men after a month'*
work. Chief Whitaker requested the
governor to send him a man and Mr.

NO STATE BRIGADE CHIEF.
Wash : Ion, June 84.?Represen?
tative Kinley, when asked today in
reference to the likelihood of South
Carolina's being given a brigadier
general to command the National
i
Guard of the State called out for ser?
vice on the Mexican border, stated
that after a visit to the war depart?
ment he was of the opinion that the
outlook for the State was not \ <m v
promising. 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.
