LIEUT. CARRAWAY RESCUES
MAN FROM DEO WING.

The Columbia State of Thursday
Sept 6, says:
Lieut.. Bruce II Carraway, who
arrived in Columbia yesterday to
take up duties in the quartermas-
ters department at Camp jackson.
had been delayed by an interesting
Incident at the Isle of Palms Sunday
afternoon when he bravely rescued
young M. r. CatherWood from a wa
terry grave The task was not an
easy one, even though Lieut. Cara
way, who comes from High Point,
N. g., is an unusually fine specimen
of physical strength; and the salt wa
ter caused such soreness to his lungs
that he was disabled for a day
Upon arriving in Columbia he re-
ceived very tender letter of graft
tude from the parents of the young
man whom he rescued, John Cath
efwood and Mrs. Clara S. Gather
wood of Charleston. The incident
was witnessed by more than 1000

VERY FINE CORN.

David Welborn, Route 1, Thomas
vile, has some very fine corn this
year of the Prolific variety. 1t is
nothing unusual to count four and
five good ears to the stalk while
practically every stalk has from
two to three ears. The ear is above
the average. Mr.. Welborn expects
to get so bushels to the acre and it
was grown on average ground, too.
This shows what can be done by the
right kind Of farming, producing as
much On one acre as four of five
produce of the ordinary corn and
not given the right kind of attention.
Better farming pays, says Mr.. Wei
born, and he is eterDally right.
This corn should take the prize
during kirmess week.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
.he country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For grear
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, ana therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tiona1 cure on the market. It is taken in
terna1ly in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
&imonia1s.

500 DRAFTED MEN GO ASTRAY
New Soldiers Unable to Find New
Ordnance Camp in Jersey.

New York, Dec. 31%More than 500
drafted men were sent to Raritan, N.
j., to an ordnance base supposed to
exist there. No such base exists and
it became apparent in time that the
men should have been sent to another
Raritan, generally so-called but really
named RaritOn township, which is the
nearest railroad station to q new army
cantonment being built at Bonhamton,
a hamlet of n dozen houses or so.
Many Of the men, instead of going
through the wrong RaritOn, got off at
Someville, two miles from that place.
There was no ordnance place at either
and the citizens had the problem Of
housing and feeding the half-thousand
tired, hungry and mainly mOneyless
men. A reporter at New Brunswick
reported that the cantOnment now
building at BOnhamtOn had accOmmO-
datiOns completed for the reception Of
700 men. Steps have been taken by
the war department to defect the 9TH
er men ordered to Raritan and send
them to the cantonment at Bonham-
ton.

FOR Rail WORK
Appoints W. Hines and Alfred H.
Smith as Assistants Pro
Tempore.
POOLS EAST AND WEST ROADS
Director General Orders Presidents to
Report at Once on Eliminating
Congestion on Eastern
Roads.

Washington, Dec. 31-Director Gen.
eral of Railroads McAdoo appointed
Walker r. Hines of New York, former
general counsel Of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad, and Alfred
ID. Smith Of New York, president of the
New York Central railroad as assist
ants pro tempore to him in the gov
ernment management Of the railroads
of the country.
The director general also called upon
presidents of al railroads to take up
vigorously the matter of common use
of terminals and parallel lines, and
specifically requested that all terminal
facilities in the Chicago district be
treated as unit as far as possible.
Director McAdoO also issued an Or
der retaining all officers, agents and
employees of railroads in the service of
the roads under government manage
ment, providing for retirement of those
who wish to leave with proper notice
and designated rules for operation of
the roads as national system.
Must Solve Wage Dispute.
An important development was the
disclosure that the railroads had deter
mined to reject the demands of the or
ganized workers for a 40 per cent in
crease in wages and had turned re-
spOnsibility in the labor controversy
over to the government and Director
General McAdOo.
With this revelation also came the
comforting one to the director general
and his advisers that the railroad
brotherhoods had decided not to press
their labor demands upon the govern
ment for at least 80 days, or at least
until the director general has had an
opportunity to get the united operation
Of transportation lines we'll under way.
McAdoo Calls Rail Labor Heads.
Heads of four railroad brotherhoods
were summoned by Director General
Of Railroads McAdoo to come to
Washington for a conference with him
on Thursday.
The whole labor situation, so far
as 1t affects railroad employees, will
be discussed. The brotherhood chiefs
discussed their wage demands with
President Wilson last week. 1t Is
expected that the same questions will
be taken up with Mr.. McAdoo.
When the government took over
control of the railroads, the brother
hood spokesmen indicated their will
ingness not to press their demands
for general increases for a period of
80 days.
Mr.. McAdoo announced the appoint
ment of Oscar A. Price as his private
secretary. Mr.. Price, who formerly
was In the newspaper business in
West Virginia, has been auditor for
the interior department for nearly
three years. He was director of pub
licity of the second Liberty loan.
