SECOND REGIMENT
DELAYED TWO WEEKS

According to a wire sent the
Southeastern department by Col. H.
J. Gallagher, of the Quartermaster
who has been detailed
to Greenville on inspection of the
progress of camp construction, the
camp will not be ready for the Sec
ond Regiment of South Carolina un-
til about two weeks yet, or about
81. Companies of that regi-
ment will therefore remain in their
own homes where they are now en-
camped until orders are given to
proceed to Sewer.
Work has been delayed on almost
every cantonment in the South. Va
rious causes, including the scarcity
of both labor and material, are as
signed for the delay.

HEAVY CORN CROP
IN THE COUNTY
People Are in Good Spirits Over
Promised Agricultural Prosperity
for the Year.

AS Abbeville is an agricultural
county, the very encouraging out
look for large harvest from all
crops is causing the people to be
more buoyant in spirits than is usual
at this midsummer season.
g.. AS result of the food prepared
ness agitation in the early spring
there has been a noticeable increase
in the acreage of food crops in every
section of the county. More stten-
ton has been given to the corn crop
in Abbeville county this year than
ever before, and it is predicted that
Abbeville will produce enough corn
this year to supply the county until
another crop is harvested without
bringing in a bushel from other
sections.
The cotton acreage has been
slightly reduced and the stand is not
up to the average. However, cotton
has improved wonderfully during
the last three weeks, and many pre-
dict the cotton production for the
county will exceed the average in
spite of most unfavorable weather
about planting time this year.
The staple is now selling at around
26 cents per pound.

RELIEVE DEPARTMENT
COMMANDERS CANTONMENTS
AND CAMPS FOR GUARDS

Army department commanders are
relieved of cantonments and guard
camps within their departments, and
will devote themselves entirely to
regular troops in their jurisdiction,
according to Washington advices.
Unless there are changes in high
commands the effect will be to keep
several we'll known commanders, in
cluding Gen. Wood, from going to
Europe. More than 200 generals will
be appointed in the next few days.
1t is possible some of these may be
assigned to departments and permit
the sending of high line officers with
the fighting army.

MAY DECLARE NATIONAL
HOLIDAY, SEPT 3RD WHEN
FIRST LEAVE FOR CAMPS

A national holiday may be pro-
claimed for September 8, celebrating
the entraining of the first draft of
levies for the cantonments. No step
is taken as yet but officials of the
provost marshall generals Office in
Washington, believes it is probable.
A conference is in progress with
railroad officials on details of mobil-
ization. Transportation lines face
the problem of collecting 100000
men from 4,575 districts, provide
sleeping cars, where necessary, and
arrange for stops where the men can
be fed well and quickly.
