FEAR ATTEMPT TO POISON
WATER SUPPLY OF CAMP

Spartanburg, Sept. 17.-Fears that
attempts will be made to poison the
water supply for Camp Wadsworth
were expressed tonight. On three
nights in the last week men were seen
prowling in swamps about the pump
ing station. The strangers fled when
guards threatened to fire. They fled
through the swamps.
"The chief danger is that poison
might be introduced into the sluices
through which water reaches the
pump" Chief Engineer Hinchey said
tonight. "When the first nocturnal
visits were reported we feared at
tempts to dynamite the machinery
which could not be replaced for weeks.
Investigation disclosed that poison
atrocities might be expected.
To-day we placed electric light clus-
ters at every available point. Deadly
chemicals would not be stopped by our
filters: They would accompany the
water direct to the mess kitchens in
camp"
1t is said that Major General
ORyan will be asked to send troops
to guard the water supply.

A NEW HISTORY OF OUR STATE.

A history of South Carolina, which
has for its basis William Gilmore
Simms' historical work of 1860, has
just been issued by this authors
granddaughter, Mrs. Mary Simms Oil
phant.
The new text book is divided into
seven parts and each part is Subdi-
ICED into chapters comprised of head
ell paragraphs. These paragraphs are
also numbered, making the book eS-
pccially adapted to school use, for
which purpose it was primarily writ
ten.
Dating from the earliest settlement
of emigrants in this State, the first six
parts eliminate in momentous
changes in South Carolina, while the
last part gives important events of the
recent past. The Reconstruction per-
iod is covered exceeding well.
Mrs. Oliphant has enlarged and re-
vised the original text, she states, in
accord with views recently accepted
and has been assisted in this work by
the leading historians of the State. AS
result this history of South Carolina
is comprehensive, accurate and inter
esting alike to child and adult. Mrs
Oliphant has performed her work in
most excellent manner and in her
treatment of the subject displayed a
literary and historical ability which
are creditable.
The Times and Democrat is glad to
| recommend to its older readers, as
we'll as the school children, generous
reception to this new book. 1t will
prove instructing to most of the in.
habitants of South Carolina and give
them first class account of their owr
land, as a colony and as a State

DESTROYED ORCHARDS
WITH INSECTICIDE

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 17.-In
France when the Germans retreated
they cut down fruit trees. In Missis-
slppi, it is charged, German sympa-
thizers have found an easier means of
blasting the fruit producers. Two
men were arrested near here charged
with selling to fruit-growers and
farmers insecticide, which, when ap-
piled to the trees, killed them. One
orchard of 500 peach trees is a total
loss. One of 400 trees, three of 200
and two or 500 trees have been gadly
damaged. The farmers believe Ger
man sympathibers are responsible.

Washington. Every able-bodied

held liable for service in the National
Guard in war time, without further act
of Congress, by War Department regu-

nearly two months ago, but just made
public, the Militia Bureau directs that
where a National Guard regiment is
called out for war service a reserve
training battalion to fill vacancies at
the front shall be organized out of

For Full Strength.
"If for any reason" the order con-

lied militia shall be drafted by the
President to maintain such battery to
