CAROLINA REGIMENT NOT
FULL OF COLLEGE STUDENTS
Palmetto Lads Becoming Acquainte
With Tricks and Ways OF
BrOncOS.

In Camp With the South Carolina
Troops in the El Paso Patrol Dis
trict, Aug. 28.-The matter of releas
ing the college students from the Ma
tional Guard is up for consideration III
all the organizations on the border
and at the State mobilization grounds
Only bona fde students are eligible
to come unde this provision and
they are to be let out in tile for the
opening of the colleges in Septembe,
Just how many of the South Carolin-
ians will come under this provision
is not known and very little has beer
heard of it around the South Caro-
lima camp.
Col. Springs estimates that about
10 per cent. of the Second regiment
would be affected by the college stu
dent order and certainly the percent
age of the First and of the cavalry
engineer and field hospital UNITS
would not be any greater. Very fe :
CT the men from the Palmetto State
lave applied for release under thu
college student order.
What is thought to have been an at>
+ mpt to stampede the horses III the
corral of the First regiment was frus-
srated on Tuesday night fy the watch
fulness OF the guard and the officer @:
the guard, Lieut.. Chandler of the
Rock Hill company. About midnight
the sentry on duty tat the corral dis
covered that some one in civilian
clothes was among the horses which
were ali tied to the corral in the rear
of the regiment and on investigation
he found that four of the halters with
which the horses were tied had been
cut. He chased some one in civilian
clothes behind a humber pile and
then down through a company street
but the marauder managed to escape
On account of the darkness it was
impossible to distinguish the nation
sality of the suspect but it was plainly
seen that he was dressed n civilian
attire.
Learning Their Mounts.
The Palmetto Boys are becoming
experienced with the Western horses
which have been gathered by the gov
ernmsnt from all sections for the use
oS the troops. While there has beea
some falls the South Carolina 5oys
as a rule know how to handle horses
and most of them have had no trouble.
Sergt. John T. Sloan of the machine
sun company of the Second went
down to the big government corral,
mounted a horse minus saddle and
bride and brought his horse and three
Others safely into camp. The officers
and men have Jared on the whole very
well in drawing their horses and the
South Carolinians are. pleased with
tEeir stock.
The machine gun company OF the
Second has drawn its machine guns
getting what is known as the Lewis
gun, said to be the best and most
modern gun of its kind made. This
company is being instructed by the
officers of the machine gun company
of the Seventh infantry U. S. A, ano
is fast becoming efficient.

Battalion on Parade.
The Second battalion of the Second
regiment, the Columbia battalion, un-
der Maj. T. E. Marchant, went Oh
dress parade on Tuesday afternoon
and made a fine showing. The Sec
ond battalion of the First regiment
under Maj. T. B. Spratt held dress
parade Tuesday afternoon and &C
Quilted themselves equally as we'll.
Maj. T. E. Marchant of the Sec
ond battalion of the Second regimen
has had wooden blocks put in his tent
for flooring and Capt ice Marshall of
TIE Brookland Light infantry declare
that Mai. Marchant is having little
bit of Washington street, Columbia,
which is paved with wooden block, TO"
his tent floor. The Columbians are
watching to see if the blocks in the
majors tent will swell every time
there is a rain and expand like Wash
ineton street blocks. They suggest
that if this happens there might in
time be enough block to floor the tents
of all the officers belonging to the
Second battalion.
Capt G. H. Mahon, Jr., adjutant OF
the First regiment, is happy now be-
cause "a wooden floor has been put in
headquarters tent, largely increasing
the room and making the tent much
more substantial.
Capt. W. L. Gillespie of the CheraW
company of the First regiment has re-
turned from a visit to the Elephant
Butte dam about rs miles from here
where the government is building a
tremendous reservoir to store water
with which to irrigate all of this
country. Capt. Gillespie reports 4
fine trip and is loud in his praises OF
the magnificent work being done in
building the dam. Capt. Gillespie is
an engineer himself and spent sever
al years working IN eastern Texas
and Oklahoma.
