A MoAlwn. Tonne, dispatch to Tan Now York Times saye: Major 0en. O Ryan today said that the New York troops would celebrate Christmas and New Year's along tho bored, and that the period of their stay would probably extend far Into 1917. He le authority for the state? ment that all the units of the guard, except the four regiments designated as home guard, will be brought here for the entire period. The reason tor tho long stay Is to make the guards mea Into IIret line soldiers and. If the program goee through as outlined it win be the first effective move toward real preparedness. It Is said. The general's announcement had beta foreshadowed, but until this af? ternoon he always had evaded a direct reply. It was pointed out today that everything about the companies indi? cated official knowledge of protracted service, and General O'Ryan finally admitted that the original Intention to remain here three months had been changed. He referred to the way offi? cers were being; schooled si Plattsburg, and aald that the Mission. McAllsn. end Pharr camps were designated to furnish them. There will be the stiff eat bind of discipline, and the guards? men will deal with conditions Identical with those they would encounter In ac? tual warfare. Toe troops' general comment on the newf may be summed up thus: "No mors National Guard for me." The t. sn apparently felt aggrieved because they had thought they were sent here for service In Mexico and not for ex tented training. Many, however, ap predated the benefit which would ic true to the country If the guard w| put on a par with the regulars, and while It U believed there will b? con? siderable gtumbllng at first, the met. who protested always wound up theh critlctems with eomethlng to the effect that "If It's good for Cncle Sum. lf? good fer mc."

July I?.?"Therefore be It resolved, that the city council appoint a committee whose duty It shall be to hang each and every min? ister is the city." That; was about the wording of the last paragraph of a petition which twenty prominent business men of this city signed last week. The pe? tition was circulated by a well known banker in a Jest, to show that some men were so compliant they would sign anything put before them in evi? dent good faith. The petition started by asking the city council to pass an ordinance ex? cusing the ministers of the gospel in this city from paying a sanitary tax. The document was couched la legal verbiage and ambled along with many "wherefores" and "whereases" until the flual paragraph was reach? ed, when It was shown that In order to make the payment of the tax un? necessary the ministers would have to be hanged and the petitioners urged the city council to appoint a commit? tee to do the hanging. The joke was on the signers. Of course, a number of them are say? ing they knew it was a Joke all along but others frankly admit they did not read the document before signing it, as they should have done. Work on Seaboard Trestle. A large force of hands have been laboring steadily night and day on the Seaboard trestle in an effort to get it in Hhape for traffic. The river again rose to a height estimated at thirty one feet Tuesday, and this has greatly handicapped the workmen. Messrs. W. L Scddon, vice president, and C. S. Lake general manager of the Sea? board, of Norfolk, Va., have been here In their private cars since the trestle was destroyed, personally lokint; after the work, seeing that it was rushed with all possible haste. A singular Incident happened when the trestle was washed away last Mon? day. A part of the train crew whs left on each side of the river?the distance being only a few hundred feet. They wanted to get a message to each other, but the roaring waters drowned their voices.

MORE RECRUITS NEEDED. Camp Moore Musi Have Them?Pay Day at Styx?CitadeJ Men Organize. Camp Moore, Styx, July 28.?Offi? cers in high authority at Camp Moore realize that the one big problem be? fore the National Guard is that of re? cruiting. More men must be secured if the two regiments are sent from South Carolina at an early date. Col. Blythe, of the First regiment, com? manding officer of the camp, believes that the regiments will be called for just as soon as they are needed on the border. Camp facilities will have to be provided and everything made ready for the reception of new units. The officers in camp will do every? thing possible to boost recruiting and plans are being discussed for a big preparedness parade in Columlba. If the citizens of Columbia raise about $400 to secure two special trains then the men will be brought to Columbia for a parade. There was a thrill of Joy around the Second regiment yesterday when word was passed out that today will be pay day. * Officers at camp estimate that the mobilization of the troops is costing nearly $100,009 a month.

The regimental canteen of the Sec? ond regiment was opened ysterday with Capt. A. C. Doyl of the supply company in charge. CRUISER DOING COAST PATROL. Warship, Its Lights Doused, Off Charlestoo Harbor. Charleston, July 28.?A cruiser, sup? posed to be British, has been reported off the coast In the past few days. While the warship which douses its lights at nighty but plays powerful searchlights ever so often, has not been ^sighted immediately off Charles? ton, It has been observed off Tybee and off the lower Carolina coast. It is believed that this cruiser, and probably others, is assigned to watch for the German merchant sub? mersible Bremen, which is reported to be making for a South Atlantic port. Because of the allied patrol off the Virginia capes and along the North Atlantic coast, It is thought that the Bremen will try to make port south of Cape Hatteras. For several days rumors have per? sisted that the Bremen would enter Charleston harbor. The same rumors were heard about the Deutschland, which discharged a valuable cargo at Baltimore and has taken on a cargo there tor transportation to the Ger? man empire. Craft that have been outside the harbor have seen nothing of the Bremen and there appears to be no positive Information that the submersible will come here, though Charleston Is as likely to entertain the craft as any other South Atlantic port, if not a bit more likely. Months have elapsed since the war? ship pf the allied nations has been sighted off Charleston. Early in the European war such cruisers were fre? quently observed in these waters, watching for German merchantmen and for the commerce raiding cruiser Karlsruhe, the fate of which has never been cleared up. The Clyde line steamship Lenape was among the American vessels boarded by a Brit? ish cruisers. M'CLURE MUST RETURN. British Won't Allow Publisher to Stay. London, July 26.?S. S. McClure, the American publisher, who was de? tained for some time by the British authorities on his arrival at Liverpool on the American liner Philadelphia, must return to the United States Sat? urday on board the same vessel in the meanwhile sojourning at an unnamed watering place inland "for his health" according to a statement made by government officials today. The Brit? ish home office declined to grant a permit for Mr. McClure to stay in Bnglaud. Favor Rebuilding Bridge nt Once. Camden Chronicle. A mass meeting of the citizens of the county and town was held at the opera house here last Friday evening to discuss means of replacing the coun? ty bridge over the Watcree river. Many cltliens of Kershaw and Betbune met with the Camden people and it was the unanimous sentiment of the moot? ing thai the bridge should be replaced at the earliest possible, moment. Clarendon County Notes. - Manning Times. Rev. Ouery Stukes left this morn? ing for Yale University, where he goes to specialize for a year. Mr. Stukes Is professor of philosophy in Agnes Scott college, and has been j granted leave of absence for a year. Last Saturday afternoon Jessie and Zenith Sprott went out exploring, by going to Remini, crossing the river on top of box cars that were placed on the trestle to keep it from washing away, and walked a distance of thirteen miles to Orangeburg In a pouring down rain. They wanted to see and get experience?they got it. It may look as painting a blue pic? ture, but nevertheless one which Is true when we are reminded that there will be much chill and fever this fall all up and down the Santee section of the county as a result of the freshets and so many low lands being overflow? ed with water. During the freshets in the Santee swamps many deer and other wild animals have been driven out many miles all about the county. The dogs of Mr. Graham caught a fine buck out near Bethlehem church a few days ago and devoured It. ,The fields were so boggy and the woods so full of water that the deer was overcome by hunger and running and fell a victim to the dogs. The tobacco crop, It Is generatly conceded has suffered most from the storm and floods of rain, and the dam? age or loss is estimated all the way from 50 to 80 or 90 per cent, and in a [few places the loss being total. The cotton creps In the scope of county arouml Summerton and on through Panoia, Silver and Pinewood, were not damaged as severely by the winds and storm as were those In the Eastern part of the county. But the strictly j storm damage is not all that the cotton crops will suffer. The heavy rains which have continued to fall since the (storm keeps the fields sobbed with wa ter, .and it is the nature of the cot? ton plant that it cannot, stand much {water, as the stalks will wilt and die, and the fruit will shed off. The dam? age to cotto? has been continuous since the storm on the 14th, and is continuing yet. The real and practical damage, to cotton will not be fully realized until time comes to pick the cotton. The dam across Alderman's mill pond, near Mr. E. R. Plowden, has broken, making that road impassible. The game law regulating the shoot? ing of deer has been changed. The open season is now from the 1st day of September to January 1st. We learn with regret that the farm of Mr. E. B. Tlndal In the Fork Is a total loss. Mr. Tlndal is a large plant? er and one of Clarendon's best citizens. Mr. Innman, of the government aid department, came to Manning last Sunday and after copferring with Postmaster Brad ham, and getting what information he could, be went in the St. Paul flood stricken district, but after talking with Supervisor Da? vis, told him he should take the mat? ter with the governor for imme? diate relief, as It would take at least I a month to get anything from the fed? eral government. We presume these people will get something from the State. Optimistic people are freely saying that the storm and rain damage to corn and especially old corn, Is not great. It is fortunate for Clarendon county that up to the day of the storm the corn prospects In the county were the most promising that have been seen In years and some little of the corn was almost made. But when gathering time comes it will be found that even old corn Is badly cut off, and that many ears which now look to be full good ears are only shucks and are snouty with very little In them. The fodder crop this year will be 3cant.?'^;'**' Mi *T It la a source of great gratification hat the corn and cotton crops in the ections of Summerton, Silver, Panoia, t'inewood and Paxvllle are not as se? verely damaged as they are In the ? *asterri part of the county beginning n the vicinity of Manning. It .seems that the people in the communities above mentioned Were Just Fouth of the track of the severest part of the storm. We learn also that the crops In the Bloomville and Jordan sections were also spared muc'll of the de? struction that visited the eastern and northern sections of the county. A much noted mind reader, clair? voyant, and speculator in occult mat? ters, by the name of Bert Reese, of New York, has come forward and named the day In September when he says the European war Will end, and also predicts the re-election of Wood row Wilson, and says that Wilson will be followed by Henry Ford, who will l.e president longer than any presi? dent who has gone before him. It all may be true, but the problem we would like to have him figure on la, how many mosquitoes will be hatched in the next sixty days in the San tee swamp from Ilemini to the Wil? liamsburg line. We arc willing to send him a year's subscription to the Times if he comes within a margin of one hundred thousand either over or under. flames destroy big ware? house. Wholesale Grocery Stock Valued at $42,000 Consumed ? Insurance of $30,000. Orangeburg, July 28.?The ware? house of O. W. Hartness, wholesale grocery dealer, containing stock val? ued at $42,000, was almost totally de? stroyed by lire about 4:30 a. m. today. An automobile valued at about $500 was almost demolished also. The to? tal amount of insurance is $30,000. The fire was not discovered until it k had gained considerable headway, and when the department arrived it was beyond control. This is the second time fire has de ' stroyed this warehouse in the last few yeais. On the previous occasion the business was operated by Jennings Sc Smoak. Don't Spread Cotton Wilt. Clemson College, S. C, July 28.? Cotton wilt is more widespread and more destructive this season than ev? er before, and the disease seems to be spreading gradually into the Pied jmont section of the State. Recently we have had specimens of diseased plants eent in from Honea Path, An? derson, Greenwood, Silver Street and Walhalla. Wilt seems now to occur on the majority of farms in the coastal plain. Cotton wilt is recognized by black? ened tissues found on the Inside of the wilting or the dead plants. Where [cotton Is dying, split the stem open and If there are dark streaks in the wood or just beneath the bark, the disease is wilt. * The fungus which causes cotton wilt will live in the soil Indefinitely [and anything which carries soil from the infected areas to other parts of the farm will spread the disease. Plows and other implements used in plowing a field where the disease oc? curs should be thoroughly cleaned before carrying them to a field where the disease does not occur. The dis? ease might also be carried in drain? age water. If wilt is occuring for the first time on your farm and Is confined to small areas, pull up and destroy the diseas? ed plants. Guard against its further spread by making sure than no soil or drainage water Is carried from the diseased areas to other parts of the farm. If you want to plant cotton back on land where the disease oc? curs, ask your demonstration agent to write the Botany Division of Clerasou College about wilt resistant seed. The Dixie and the Dillon varieties of cotton are immune to wilt, and we are cooperating with a number of breeders in improving these varie? ties and keeping them pure. Ford Shops Shut Doun. Detroit, Mich., July 27.?At mid? night Tuesday 22,000 employes In the mechanical division of the Ford Mo? tor Car Company began a two weeks' vacation to end August 7. The idle? ness is forced while the clerical force takes inventories of the plant, equip? ment and stock. London, July 28.?Ginnell was sen? tenced to pay a five hundred dollar fin* or serve six weeks' imprisonment. I i i . f !tM m* THE S?MTER * 1 v. SUMTER. S. C.
