STOCK GAMBLERS WORRIED.
MOST GENERAL DROP IN PRICES
DURING PAST YEAR.
Market DemOrnlized for q Ttme-Af.
ter Going Down Fast Prices Come
Up Again With Small Loss.

New York, Sept. 15.-A storm
broke again in the stock market to-
day. The most general precipitate
drop in prices OF the year occurred.
and for time the market was demo-
rallied. Although there was no cell
ing which paralleled last weeks out
pouring OF the United States Steel
stocks, the declines through the gem
eral list were considerably more Sc
we're. Trading in United States Steel
stocks was enormous. and the trans
actions in all stocks reached the
largest amount Of the year
The three speculative favorites-
Union Pacific. Reading and United
States Steel-were especially heavy
losers.
Union Pacific lost Is, Reading
and Steel 5-S. Losses among
other stocks in many cases amounted
to to 4 points
The intimation from Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham in the afternoon
that a tentative plan for dissolution
Of the American Tobacco COMPANY
had been agreed upon caused Wall
street TO take heart, inasmuch as 1t
had been reported that little prog
ress was being made toward a solu-
tion of the problem. Stocks bounded
up late in the day and before the
close losses were reduced greatly.
steel and some other issues ending
the day with only fractional net de-
clines
The anxiety over falling prices
and the uncertainty in regard to the
fate of United States Steel corpo1a-
tion and other large concerns ap-
parently caused the renewed selling
today. There was little to indicate
that Wall street would find the Pc
riod Of unsettlemert ended until de-
finite indications were obtained as to
the outcome Of enforcement Of the
sherman law as now construed
Further selling by investors who
feared disintegration Of large cor
porations was evident.
Many selling orders was received
from the West and London also dis
posed Of more stock.
The fall in prices Of stocks now
amounts to 20 TO 40 points from the
high prices OF the year.

CAPT. AYERS DENIES CHARGES.
Florence 3Iilitiaman Discusses t,ov.
ernor's Act in Disbanding Com
Dany.

Florence, Sept. 25.-Capt. Hart
well NJ. Aver, Of Company II, I'd S. c..
n. G" being asked what he had TO
say in regard to the order disband-
ing the company, said that he had re-
ceiTed ths order Sunday morning,
and would bow with all grace to the
order OF the Governor but that Of
the charges, the most serious. were
unfounded in fact. for he says that
the men were never permitted to keep
their equipment at their homes, nor
mad the company rolls ever been pad
der, or any but members Of the regu-
lar organized militia ever been taken
on encampments or put in ranks at
inspection. The other charges might
be made against almost any militia
company, and that until there is
some regular pay for the service OF
the men there is no use to expect to
get it. He had been working hard
Tor the company and for the State
militia almost ten years, as hard as
he could, sacrificing other interests
for it, because he knew that Florence
ought to have militia company and
needed one, but no one else would
take hold Of it, and very few Of the
men gave him anything like the sup
port that they should have given.
He continued that il the Governor
kept on stripping him Of offices of
honor and emOlument he would soon
leave him with nothing to attend to
except his own business. and mavbe
that would be best after all.
When asked II he thought likely
that another company would be or
ganized here, he said that one should
be by all means if any number of
men could be found who would give
their time and their energies TO the
State and National Government graf
uitousiy. Florence ought not to be
without a military company for the
sake of the rest of the country
around here, where trouble Is likely
to arise at any time.

FOOTBALL TEAM At WORK.
BOYS EXPECT TO PITT OFT
STRONG ELEVEN THIS
SEASON,
Number OF Old Boys arc Trying for
rlaces on the Team, While Scrubs
OF Last Season and New Material
Are Working Hard.

The Sumter High School foot ball
squad is working every afternoon
now and it is expected that the school
VIII this season put out as strong and
fast team as any that has ever
represented it.
There are a number Of old boys out
trying to make places on the team.
while the scrubs Of last year and the
new material are putting in some
hard ticks at the same time to get on
the team themselves. While a num-
Der OF the graduates Of last May were
star members Of the foot ball eleven
put forth for 1910 by the high school
and these men will be sadly missed,
There is no lack Of men on the foot
ball squad to fill the places left
vacant.
Among the men from last years
team who are being tried out are, De.
Lorme, John Haynsworth, Reaves,
DuRant and Siddall and it is expect
ed that Willie Burns. the big center
OF last years team, and Henley Owen
will be out in the next few days. Be
sides these there are about a dozen
new men and members Of last wears
squad who are rapidly being run into
shape.
The practice season commenced
last week, when the squad was test
ed for the first time, and this weak
the team is hard at work practicing
under the supervision Of DR.. E. P.
DuRant, who has been secured to
coach the team. DR.. DuRant is an
old foot ball player and is seeing to
it that the members Of the team get
toughened up and hard before they
go into their first battle Of the sea
son.
So far no games have been ar
ranged, but it is expected that some
will be arranged by next week. Sew
eral teams have written here for
games and it is probable that Ine
team will have good number of
teams to choose from as to whom they

some Of the teams that games will
