Balcony Collapses at Woman's Col
lege.-Panic is Averted.

, Due West, April 1.-THE collapse
of the balcony in the new auditorium
of the hall of the Woman's college to-
hight prevented the presentation of
the cantata Queen Esther" Just as
the performance started and with the
house full the balcony supports gave
way and several persons sitting under
the balcony were injured. Only w.
F. Vermillion, of Donalds, was Sc
riously hurt, agd it is not thought
that he is fatally injured. The Wo-
mans college girls occupying the bal
cony escaped injury. This audi
torium is probably one Of the best
college auditoriums in the State, and
has just been completed at cost of
$25, 5,000, and the accident, which was
so nearly serious, causes much dam
age.
President r. L. Robinson Of the
Woman's college issued the following
statement:
after a thorough investigation I
find that no college girls were injur-.
ed in the unfortunate accident in the
alumnae hall tonight. Forty or more
girls were taking part in the cantata
and were in the music studies in the
rear of the stage. Only about so girls
were in the balcony when the acci-.
dent occurred. The calmness of the
girls was remarkable:"

SECOND WOULD GO TO MEXICO.
Service Of Command Offered by Col.
Legare in Case of War.


Legare, of Columbia, commanding
the I'd regiment of infantry, National
Guard, of this State, has offered the
services of his regiment in case call
comes for troops for service in Mexi-
co. Col. Legare says his regiment
would esteem it a high privilege to
represent South Carolina in the first
assignment.
Col. Legare's letter containing this
request was made to the governor,
as commander:in-chief of the militia
of the State, and was as follows:
"Commanding Officer, Second In

command would esteem it high pri-
vilege to represent South Carolina in
the first assignment.

has always been more than sustained

that the men composing my COM
mand will continue to retain repu-
tation that~is priced so jealousy.

Colonel, Second Infantry, N. G., S.
c."
The I'd regiment is complete, con-
sisting of twelve companies, with an
average of about forty-fiye to the
company. The I'd could easily re-
cruit to the war strength, which is
10S men to the company. The I'd
regiment is made up Of four COM
panies in Columbia, and one in each
of the following towns: Camden,
Bennettsville, Darlington, Hartsville,
Sumter, Timmonsville, Orangeburg,
Edgefeld and the band at Anderson.
E. A. Early, of Darlington, is lieu
tenant colonel, and the three majors
are: Joseph R. Al len, of Columbia;
James w. Bradford, of Sumter;
Robert T. McKorell, Of Hartsville;
Joel J. Marshall, of Columbia, is regi-
mental adjutant.
One high, military official here to-
day pointed out that in the apportion-
ment of troops from the different
States, as made by the war depart
ment in their plans for an issuance
of call for volunteers, should an
invasion of Mexico be decided on,
South Carolina's share of troops for
a volunteer army of 250,00O men
would be 500 men, practically one
regiment. South Carolina has three
regiments, and the governor of the
State would designate the organiza-
ton to go out, and this command
would then Immediately be recruited
to full strength, each separate COM
pany doing this at their own home
station, and at the same time regular
recruiting stations would be estab-
lished, similar to the ones the war
department has at various points.
It is estimated that a full regiment
could be modified within week OF
