AUGUSTA SECURES CAMP
TROOPS OF FOUR STATES TO
PARTICIPATE.
Isle of Palms Was Site First Chosen.
Change Due to COntrO-
verSy.

Columbia, May 24.-The South
Carolina National Guard yesterday
received with interest the announce
ment that the ninth division instruc-
ton is to be located at Augusta. The
information was given in a special
story from New York to the Augusta
Chronicle, from Thos. w. Loyless,
the editor of the paper. The selec-
ton of the camp site has been under
advisement since the order for the
camp at the Isle of Palms was revok-
ed by the secretary Of war after a
controversy with the governor Of
South Carolina. About 10000 men
will be sent to Augusta by the Unit
ed States war department from North
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina.
Following special dispatch from
New York appeared in The Chron-
icle of yesterday:
"As the result of efforts inaugu-
rated by the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association more than month
ago, and kept up continuously but
very quietly since, Augusta secures
the Ninth division instruction camp
of the National Guard from July Is,
embracing about 10000 troops.
"This was definitely settled here
yesterday and to-day in interviews
with General Evans, commanding the
department of the east, and Col.
Wright, chief of staff. The site Sc
lected is Aumond,. which all agree,
from photographs and maps submit
ted, is one of the finest military camp
sites ever brought to their attention.
Acceptance of the site, however, is
conditioned upon the city furnishing
water and extension of the street car
track. The city has accepted prompt
ly and wisely, and think J. G. White
will do so Monday.
''The camp will embrace troops OF
Georgia, North and South Carolina
and Florida. About three regiments
will be in camp at the time, for 10
days each.
"This is the same encampment for
which the Isle of Palms was selected
in April last and which was lost to
that State by the governors foolish
action. Charleston has worked very
hard to secure reconsideration, but
Augusta has been successfully press
ing her claims since the war depart
ment called the governors bluff.
"Gen. Duvall, of Augusta, strong
ly indorsed the site selected as the
finest this side of Paradise.

$500 Fire at Allendale.

Allendale, May 22.-The barn and
outbuildings of J. G. Stoney, promi-
nent farmer and citizen of Allen
dale, were destroyed by fire yester-
day. The cause is thought to have
been spontaneous combustion OF
new cut oats, which had recently
been stored in the barn. Fortunate
ly the fire occurred when the stock
was out at work. The loss is estl-
mated at about $500, with no in
surance.
This is the second barn to
burn in Allendale recently, w. R.
Williams having lost one about two
weeks ago. His loss, however, was
not so heavy.

Negro Seized by Mob in Abbeville'
Sheriff Held at Bay.

Abbeville, May 26.-Last night
about II o'clock crowd of men
numbering from Is to 100 broke in
to the Abbeville county Jail, secured a
negro, John Thomas, charged with
attempted assault, carried him two
miles out on the Due West road,
operated upon him and sent him
back to Jail.
The crowd was so orderly and
quiet that people living quite close
to the Jail heard not a sound. Sheriff
Lyon was notified at his home that a
crowd was breaking in the Jail. He
hurried as fast as he could but found
the jail and jail yard full of men
when he arrived. While attempting
to enter the rear door of the jail,
Sheriff Lyon was held up by four or
five men with rifles and made to
stay where he was until all was over.

REBELS WON'T COME IN.
Jose Vasconcelos Declares He is Not
Delegate to Peace Conference.

New York, May 22.-Jose Vascon-
celos, the Carranza special agent,
who, it has been reported, would be,
chosen as a constitutionalist repre-
sentative to go to Niagara Falls med
iation conference, emphatically deni-
ed in a statement tonight that he
was to receive such an appointment,
or that Carranza ever would con-
slider mediation as solution OF
Mexico's internal affairs.
''As long as the Huertistas are at
Niagara we shall not be represented
there" said Vasconcelos. "The only
way my party meets Huerta is on the
battlefield"
81 have no instructions and no In
formation about this rumored parti-
cipation of the constitutionalists in
the mediation, except what read In
to-day's papers. I shall accept any
mission that the chief of the consti-
tutionalist party may confer upon
mej But I have no idea i shall be
named as delegate to the A. B. &C.
conference.
PERSONALLY, as Mexican, l thank
the A. B. c.. Powers for their efforts
to settle a conflict brought on in my
country by some of it's bad citizens
But the a. B. C. Powers have no more
right than the United States to inter-
fere or advise in our internal ques-
tions.
These questions should not be dis
cussed in the Niagara meetings. 1
am sure the constitutionalists will
not be party to such violation OF
our sovereignty. AS to meeting the
Huerta delegates, don't see what
we could possibly talk about"
: Mr.. Vasconcelos, who is close to
the constitutionalists leader, has
Just finished a special mission in
Toronto and will return to Mexico by
way of Washington. He planned
to leave for Washington late to-
night.
