The case of Willie Bethune, charg? ed with murder, has assumed a new aspect with the granting by Judgo John 8. Wilson at Manning on Tues? day In the Clarendon county court of a change of venue from Clarendon to Leo county, where the case will be tried in the circuit court. Solicitor Stoll asked that It be removed to Wllllamahurg county for trial, while i Mesara Clifton and Moise the de? fendant's attorneys, requested that It be moved to Sumter county. Judge Wilson decided on Lee county and named that as the place for the trial. This case has attracted a great deal of attention throughout the State, es? pecially in this section, as It ha* been in the Supreme Court on appeals a number of. times and has brought out a number of interesting legal points.

Thon? citizens who are now putting In sanitary surfuce closets are warned again that the ordinace requiring them to connect with the sewer sys tom, If their premises are within a dis? tance of two hundred feet from a sewer line, Is still in force and. unless Council makes some change, the health officer and police will see that It is enforced. A number of citizens whose premises abut on streets in which there is a sewer system are putting in sanitary surface closets at this time, the recent ordinance requiring that all surface closets be made sanitary by July 15th. some of them will find that this is a needless expense, as by putting in the sewer connections now It would save them some expense In the end. How? ever, it Is hoped that all surface closets will be made sanitary at once and that the health officer or city clerk be notified of this, as the closet will not be put on the system for the cart to stop at unless such notification is given the city authorities. The cans for the closets can be purchased from the city for $1.10, they having al? ready been ordered for this purpose. .tm?.t?M?>.?ti Sumter Company May he Dis? membered. It Is quite possible that the Bumter Light Infantry. Com? pany L, National Guard of South Carolina, mar be dis? membered, if the full war strength of the company Is not raised. The army officers will hardly consent to the muster? ing of a company which has not its full war strength, and In di? viding up the companies to 111 other companies the seniority of the company commander will be taken Into consideration. Capt. K. T. Brown Is probably the Junior captain in the militia and therefore, if It Is decided to dismember one of the Second regiment companies. It would probably be the Bumter Com? pany to be divided to fill up me other companies. The members of the company and the people of Bumter and surrounding country would not like to see this action ta^Jen. which may no the case unte*s the full war strength la enJuriui. tiu^mlar ?j. county, with Ciatendan, i^ec at d WUUamsburg counties tu draw from, should at least fill one company to Its full war strength.

SUMTEK LICJHT DRAGOONS. SIr. I. 1 fuH>y Moses Takes the Lead in Promoting iJr? Orguirizution of Cav? alry Troop. Under authorization of Adjutant General Moore Mr. i. Harby Moses is actively at work organizing a cavalry troop to be known as the Sumter Light Dragoons for serlvce in Mexico in the event of a call for volunteers by President Wilson. It is almost a certainty that war will be formally declared against Mexico tomorrow or the next day, a state of war having in reality existed between the two coun? tries since the treacherous attack on the Tenth cavalry at Carrlzal, and the declaration will be immediately fol? lowed by a call for volunteers. It is expected the president Will call for not less than 250,000 volunteers, per? haps a half million, for the regular army, reinforced by the National Guard of all the States, will prove to? tally Inadequate for the invasion of Mexico on a scale that will Insure a complete victory and be a guarantee of permanent peace. When the call for volunteers comes there will be im? mediate need for at least a part of the force called for, and the units that are organized beforehand and have a full complement of men will be the first to be equipped and the first to be sent to the front. It is in anticipation of the call for troops and for the pur? pose of being ready when the call is made that Mr. Moses is starting now r.o organize the Sumter Light Dra icoons. He has already made an en? couraging beginning and a number of men have signed the reliminary roll. ".Co complete the troop eighty-six men a nd three officers are needed, and it is believed there should be no difficul? ty in finding tht t many men in Sumter county who want to serve in the cav? alry, the arm of the service that will be most needed and that will have the best opportunity of active service on the border and :n Mexico. Mr. Moses was First Lieutenant of the Sumter Light Infantry, Company M, First Regiment S. C. Hnfentry, in the Span? ish-American wi r and the experience then gained shculd be of advantage to him in the war to be fought in Mexico. The following have signed the enlist? ment roll thus far: I.'

T. P. SANDEIta, JR. VtCIW 10 IE FILLED. TO llOLI) EXAMINATIONS FOR STATE SC'ilOLARsillPS. Applicants Required to File Necessary Data?Financial Investigation by Charities Board. Columbia, June 29.?Scores of pros? pective college students are inquiring about the scholarships and the schol? arship examination for Winthrop, the University Of South Carolina and Clemson college, and for the Citadel. These examinations are under the con? trol of the president and faculty of each of the respective institutions. Vacancies are never reported to the State department of education, and inquirers would be better served by communicating directly with the sev? eral college presidents rather than with the State superintendent. J. E. Swearingen, State superin? tendent of education, has issued the following statement: "The competitive examination for] Winthrop will be conducted by the county superintendent at each coun? ty court house Friday, July 7. The competitive examination for the Uni? versity and for Clemson will be held July 14. The competitive examina? tion for the Citadel will be held Au? gust 11, in counties where vacancies are to be fjlled this summer. "Applicants should be careful to hie with the- proper college authori? ties all necessary data. No young man or young woman can be award? ed a scholarship until his or her ap? plication has been submitted to the State board of charities and correc? tions, and until the board of charities and corrections has reported the ap? plicant as financially eligible. The mental qualifications of applicants will l>e graded by the respective col? lege faculties. Competitors meeting the intellectual requirements of the several colleges and receiving a fa? vorable report from the State board of charities and corrections will be. recommended to the State board of education as scholarship beneficiaries. "In every Case the holder of a scholarship receives free tuition, to? gether with ? valuable money stipend. The law authorizes 1C8 scholarships at Clemson, 124 at Winthrop, 68 at the Citadel and 44 in the University. Usually between one-sixth and one third of these State scholarships are to be filed every summer. In addition, each college offers other scholarships under the direct control of the presi? dent, faculty and trustees."
