the National Guard of South Carolina
may soon be needed for patrol duty OH
the Mexican boundary line.
Gov. Manning's order is as follows
"In view of the probable call for
the mobilization of the National Guard
and naval militia of South Carolina
for service in the near future, deem
it Of the utmost Importance that the
officers and enlisted men in this State
begin at once and in earnest, active
preparations for increasing the
strength and efficiency of the several
commands.
"1 do not believe that the citizens
and soldiers of any State in the Union
are more loyal and patriotic than
those of South Carolina, and should
the call come, it is my desire that the
organizations from this State make
the best showing by being the first
to notify the president of our readi-
ness and preparedness, both in men
and efficiency, to respond to the call
of duty in defense of our national
honor.
81 desire this order read in the
presence of each company and di-
vision and that the men be impressed
with the urgent desirability and ne
cessity for prompt, patriotic and en-
thusiastic action looking to increas-
ng the strength and efficiency of the
South Carolina National Guard and
naval militia"

BRYAN WILL CHANGE
RESIDENCE FROM NEBRASKA

) Washington, D. c., Aug. 28.-An in
teresting story has been brought to
Washington by a Democratic leader
in Nebraska. It has to do with the
future of William ]. Bryan.
This Nebraska man std that Mr..
Bryan is soon to close up his house
near Lincoln and shake the dust Of
Nebraska from his feet. He will To-
cate permanently, so the story goes,
either in Florida or North Carolina,
and run for the United States Senate
from the State of his adoption. He
has property in both States but the
Nebraska man was inclined to think
he will choose North Carolina for his
future career, rather than Florida.
Mr.. Bryan undoubtedly has been
bitterly disappointed by the way the
people of Nebraska have treated him.
They we're distinctly cold toward him
when he first ran for the presidency
back in 1879" Some years later senti-
ment seemed to change toward him
but he has never been able to secure
the political recognition which he
thought he was entitled to. The last
blow came this year when his aspira'
tions to go as a delegate at large to
the Democratic National Convention
were defeated. His defeat was at
tributed largely to friends of Speaker
Champ Clark, who have assumed an
Iimplacable attitude toward him.

FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT
READY IN OCTOBER
New York Packer)

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug 25.-It is
predicted by citrus fruit growers that
there will be no grapefruit ready for
shipment before October, as the crop
is somewhat latter than usual. Real
early fruit usually requires February
or an arly March bloom, and there
was practically no bloom this spring
except during the middle or latter part
of March.
Since the adoption of the green fruit
law Of the state, which went into
EFFECT two years ago. little fruit has
been shipped out of the southern part
of the state during September, but
previous to that time several carloads
generally each year were shipped
from Dade county before October /.
The bulsk of the crop this year is
late but on the lower East Coast the
fruit is beginning to show color and
is in a remarkably fine condition.
There has been needed rain in some
parts Of the peninsula, and through
out the state extra care has been CIV
en- the trees as to, fertilizing and sray-
ing. Growers are realizing more and
more every year that proper care Of
the groves means better fruit which
will command higher prices and more
money in their pockets. With new
citrus fruit canneries and manufac-
turers of citrus fruit drinks being es.
tablished in almost every fruit bear.
ing county of the state, there Is less
Iexcuse for a grower to ship Gull fruit,
which always has a tendency to de-
moralize the market for good fruit.

IRISH REFUSED WORK
IN ENGLISH TOWNS
(By Associated Press. /,

London, Aug. 26.-Hundreds OF
Irishmen, young and old, are walking
the streets of many English towns
because they have been refused en-
ployment on harvest work, In quest
of which they crossed the Irish sea.
The English laborers have barred the
Irish and the English farmers refuse
places them for fear of getting in
to difficulties with the native labor.
The whole trouble is said to be due
to the fact that while English labor
in the army is in Ireland receiving ]
shilling a day as government pay the
Irish laborers-excluded from pro
visions of the military service act
take their places in England at six
and seven shillings a day.
In Lincolnshire and other important
farming counties on the east coast the
situation is said to have grown seri
Gus. There is no denying that labor
lis needed to harvest the crops, but
the farmers are unable to employ the
Irish. They have been told that
rupture will result which will leave
them with out any labor at all. The
difficulty is said to be increased 3y
the shopkeepers in the villages who
decline to sell them food.
