DUPONT COMPANY AT GEORGE
TOWN.
Give Rise to Question If South Caro-
lima Is TO Help Make War Munitions.

Columbia. Sept. 22.-Papers of do
mcstication filed with Secretary of
Estate r. M. McCown this morning by
the E. l. DUPONT de Nemours & Co..
of Wilmington, Delaware, gave rise to
the question If this big powder COM
pany intended esta olishing q branch
factory in South Carolina. The papers
filed in the case state that the princi-
pal Office of the corporation in South
Carolina to be "its office at it's plant
near the Atlantic Coast Lumber Cor
kporation's mills, at Georgetown, s. c."
EThe domestication papers are signed
by Irnee DUPONT, vice president, and
were mailed direct from the main Of
flee of the company in Wilmington,
Delaware, and approved by c. S.
Nudge, attorney.
The DUPONT Company has large
contracts for the manufacture of war
munitions for the allies and the filing
of the papers in this State today at
tracted good deal of interest The
statement that their main office would
be at their plant at Georgetown ap-
parently confirmed the idea that
South Carolina is about to share in
some Of the tremendous profits which
are being made out of the manufac-
ture of munitions of war for the allied
nations Of Europe.
| Georgetown is admirably located for
such plant, on deep water and with
ample railroad facilities. Confirma-
ton of the purposes of this company
in demonstrating would be of great in
terest to the State.
The company is capitalized at s24O,-
100000.

Manning, Sept. 2O.-The court of
general sessions convened here this
morning with Judge S. w. G.. Shipp
presiding. Although there was no
summer term of the criminal court
here this summer, the criminal docket
Twas not found to be very heavy this

cases for trial, and only one of them
for murder. Several negroes pleaded
guilty to various charges, such as as
sault and battery, larceny of live
stock, ETC., and or account Of the
prosecuting witnesses having died,
about three cases were mol pressed by
the solicitor, SO at the close of todays
work. with two cases having been
lactually tried, the court was nearly
half done. The case against James T.
Hamilton for breach of trust resulted
in mistrial. The case against S. j,
Clark. who is one of the city police
men, for aggravated assault and bat
terry, resulted in a verdict of not

May Add to Georgetown Plant.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 22.-The
filing of papers of the domestication by
the E. I. DUPONT De Nemours Powder
Company at Georgetown, 8. c.. was
explained by John j. Raskob, treasur-
er of the DUPONT Company, this even
ing. 1t was the first paper filed by
the new company, known as E. /. Du-
Pont De NemOurs & Co., since the
financial reorganization about three
weeks ago. The routine must be car
ricd out at each State capitol before
the said campany can do business
within the State. When asked con-
cerning the report of the erection Of
new plant at Georgetown, S. c., Mr..
Raskob stated that no plans had been
formulated in that direction. The al
cohol plant, which is situated there,
has been going al full time. Mr..
Raskob's remarks implied that addi-
tions may be made there in the near
future.

1t Is at this season Of the year that
rural blind tigers flourish most. Cot
ton picking makes money more plentl-
iul and the surplus goes into booze.
The gallon month law Is utilized to
the utmost by the blind tigers, their
relatives. friends and acquaintances
and dispensaries In neighboring coun-
ties are literally patronized, but with
all this there Is far less drunkenness
and violence In the county than under
the old dispensary regime. The ac-
uVity OF the rural policemen and
magistrates does much TO keen the
plihd tigers in check, and 1t Is hoped
that this fall the Illicit liquor traffic
VIII be curtailed to a greater extent
than heretofore.

SERVIA SAFE FROM DISEASE.
No Danger of Another Endemic
Says Head of American Sanitary
Commission.

Naples, Sept. 22.-Dr. Richard Il.
Strong, head of the American sani-
tlTy commission In Servia Is on his
way home and expects To take the
next steamer from Naples. He said
today that most of the American doe
tors engaged in Red Cross work in
Scrvia would leave October 10, feeling
assured that another epidemic of dis
case was unlikely to afIlict Servia, The
Servian people are now fully informed
of tho best ways to prevent cOntagion,
he said.
The entire scrvian army and num-
bcrs Of the people had been vacci-
mated against cholera and typhus, DR..
Strong said BY August 20, last, vir-
tually all epidemics had been sup
pressed, and the spread of typhus in
Montenegro had been prevented.
DIR. Strong described the situation
In Servia when the American COM
mission arrived as grave. Physicians
ranks had been thinned by war and
disease There were q few English,
French and Russian doctors working
individually. but no central organiza-
ton. The Americans appointed CEN
trail commission headed by Crown
Prince Alexander. This was given
control of sanitary measures through
out the country.
One of the most efIicacious meas
ures was the disinfection of the popu-
lation by means Of a special train car
rying baths. an immense disinfector
for clothing, and cars fitted up as
dressing rooms and for shaving and
hair cutting. Thousands were reached
daily. the train proceeding from sta
tion to station as fast as the work
could be done, the houses in each
place visited being disinfected at the
same time. All those found affected
with typhus were taken to hospitals.
DR. Strong described the work of
the commission In Scrvia as "a hard

10 CASE AGAINST ISENHON.

Much Interest I'm Trial Of Mob Menu
oers-Grand Jury Report Was
Against Change OF Venue I'm Trial Of
Tragedy.

Winnsboro. Sept. 22,--At the open-
ing OF the court this morning Judge
itice announced that the case of the
state against Jesse Morrison. James
Hawis and Ernest Eisenhower, chars-
ing them with the shooting of Sheriff
n ID. Hood. Rural Policeman Raleigh
boulware and the negro prisoner
Jules Smith. on the Court House steps
In June, would be transferred for
uiai Mt York. During the day q for
mai order was signed by the Judge dl-
recting that the cases by tried in
York county.
The question of granting the change
oi venue has caused considerable dis
cossion since the Judge ordered the
cases to be heard by jury of another
: county, and great many citizens
nave expressed themselves as desir-
ing the cases disposed OF by a Jury
composed of Fairfield men, believing
that tho county should not shift tho
odium OF trying one OF the most de-
piorabie and terrible tragedies that
over occurred In South Carolina to an
other county In the judicial circuit.
Solicitor Henry requested the grand
Jury who were In session. to make
report In tho matter and acquaint
him with the views of tho people. and
In their report. which was not read
yesterday. but which was made a part
OF the record. they unquallhcdly re-
ported that the cases should be tried
In this county. However. it must be
stated that few people with whom the
correspondent has talked are of the
opinion that n Jury free from bias or
passion could be secured without
great difficulty. as- almost every citi-
zen seems to have a conviction either
on cne side or the other.
The next term of court of general
sessions for York county convencs
November 20. but whether these case,
arc to be tried at this term has no,
been determined.

AMBASSADOR DUMBA RECALLED
ASKS FOR SAFE CONDUCT FROM
THIS COUNTRY TO Ills HOME,
United States Refuses to Act Until
Vienna Gives Notice of Withdrawal
Possible That Action Will be TAX
en- Against Others Because OF Dunn
ba Letters.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Ameri-
can government will make no effort
to secure safe conduct from the Unit
cd States for DR.. COnstantin Theodor
Dumba, Austro-Hungarian ambas-
sador here, until the Vienna govern
mcnt has replied to the request that
the ambassador be recalled.
This was stated on high official au-
thority tonight.
DR.. Dumba telcgraphed Assistant
Secretary Phillips of the state depart
mcnt from LcnOX, Mass, today giving
notice that his government had re-
called him on leave and asking that
the American government arrange for
his safe conduct to Vienna. He added
that he planned to sail September 2S.
THE message was addressed to Mr..
Phillips without official title, the am
bassador apparently treating his off,
cial status as ending.
Acting Secretary Polk conferred
with President Wilson tonight on the
Dumba incident and other interna-
| tional questions. Later it became
known that the United States would
await formal word from the Austro-
Hungarian foreign Office acting on DR..
Dumba's request.
Whether the American government
will be satisfied If Vienna carries out
DIR. Dumba's request and gives no.
tice that he is TO be withdrawn ION
leave" was not disclosed tonight and
will not be finally determined until it
Is seen what form the Austro- Hun
Sarian reply takes. AS dispatches
from Vienna have indicated that the
government there already has chosen
q temporary successor TO DIR. Dumba,
it is taken for granted here that no
attempt will be made to send the lat
ter back here whatever may the man
ner of his going.
The delay in receiving reply to
the Dumba note is believed by officials
to be due to difficulty in communica-
tion between Washington and Vienna.
Several messages received recently
from Ambassador Penfield have been
nearly, q week in reaching Washing
ton.
The president was still considering
tonight what action, if any. to take in
regard TO Capt. Franz Won Papen, Ger
man military attache here; Alexander
Nubcr Won Pereked, AustrO- Hungarian
consul general in New York, and
Iother Austro- Hungarian and German
officials involved in the Dumba Incl
dent. Photographic copies Of more
of the letters taken from James +,

letter In German written by Capt
Won Papen in which occurred q
phrase which has been translated
these idiotic Yankees" was referred
to translastors at the state depart
ment today to determine the exac,
lmeaning of the German words.
Most OF the Archibald letters al
Iready received here were sent to the
department of justice by the state de-
partment. They will be examind by
Assistant Attorney General Warren to
determine whether action can be
taken against Archibald and others
not having diplomatic status involved
in the case.

NO ORGANIZATION QUARREL

Says Republicans Will Win Here and

Over State.
A clash between the McNichol and Ware
factions of the Republican Organization
over the naming of the next Republican
candidate for Mayor Is highly improb-
able, according to Senator Penrose He
predicted perfect harmony in the ranks.
THE hope is that there will be no fac
tional lighting" said the Senator in the
first statement he has issued regarding
the approaching Mayoralty contest
THAT would be unfortunate on the eve
of a presidential election. That statement
may be applied to all of the counties in
Pennsylvania, where harmony of action
is likely to prevail. The ticket will. be
successful in all of the Republican coun-
ties. In the other counties such is tAe
anti-Wilson and the anti-Palmer senti-
ment among the Democrats that there
are great prospects of the Republicans
winning all or nearly all of the local Of
fees"
Senator Penrose indicated that the Or
ganization city and county SLATE" prob
ably would not be made up for about a
month. He concluded by saying that
there had been a general understanding
in most of the counties, including Phila-
delphia, that local matters would not be
considered until after the adjournment of
the Legislature.

domestic science event undoubtedly Will
prove of great interest to all thorough.
careful, enthusiastic housewives. 1t Is
going to be one of the biggest domestic
science events which has been held in
Philadelpnia or any other city in the
United States, because every event and
every word will pertain to the strictly
modern or up to date. 1t will not only
give the housewives more thorough un-
derstanding of what is most modern most
economical, most convenient and best Tor
use for their kitchens of today, but Will
indicate to them facts about domestic
science which are not yet generally
known, but which will be the most COM
mon practice In the homes of tomorrow.
One of the most interesting features will
be the all-gas kitchen idea as interpreted
by Mrs Carroll. She has learned to per-
form more kitchen work with gas at
smaller expenditure of money for this
modern fuel than any other domestic sci
ence teacher or lecturer. In fact she has
found that proper use of this most mod
ern kitchen helps not only to save work.
but to cut down expense as well. Many
of her cooking operations are amazing to
those who have not made study or
using the all-gas kitchen for all 1t is
worth.
On the stage Mrs. Carroll will have, in
addition to the gas ranges, other ap-
pliances which go toward Tightening the
housewife purdens, shortening neT houls
and giving her better results than she
has previously been accomplishing.
OF course there is a right way and
wrong way an economical way and an
expensive way of doing everything. Mrs.
Carroll has given much time and effort
in determining just the right way to per-
form every kitchen operation. She also
has made a close study of effecting
kitchen economies, but has not allowed
her estimation of the value Of kitchen
economies TO lead her to recommending
cheap methods which would cut down
efficiency thoroughness or results. When
