Late tonight the train sections bear

lvn, and the 74th, of Buffalo, rolled INTO
the railroad yards, but the youngsters
we're permitted to sleep aboard the
cars and will get their dose OF camp
making in the morning.
Immediately upon his arrival Colonel
William G.. Bates, commanding the ilst'
accompanied by his adiutant, Captain
II. II. Kehlbeck, and Major Lucien

SUPERVISE the Job of making camp.
The lads of the fist were blessed with
ideal weather. and by sunset the tents
had been pitched and they were ready
for their blankets.
The 1O7th Regiment, formerly the
eth. had a strenuous day OF drills, hikes
and bomb throwing, and then, 10 cap
the climax, the surgeons decided TO
begin inoculatlng the lads against para
tvphoid. About one-thIrd of the regl-
nent was inoculatod to-day. and the
work will continue tomorrow and
Wednesday. There is one consolation,
however. for the inocuated lads, ard
that is that they are excused from
drills and heavy duties for twenty-four
hours.

fracture Of the right leg during bayo-
net practice to-day. With others OF

22d Engineers. narrowly escaped an ac-
cident to-day while driving the car OF
Major J. Leslie Kinkaid. judge advo-
cate of the division. As young Wander
bilt was racing toward headquarters
two mules ambled into the road direct
ly in his path. To avert a collision
Vanderbilt shot his car up an embank-
ment, where il stuck at a dizzy angle.
That the car did rot roll over with its
daring driver is wonderful.
There is probability that Camp
Wadsworth will have another camp adj
joining il soon. The new camp will be
strictly for women and children. j. II.
Shores, city engineer Of Spartanburg
has a plantation adjoining Camp Wads-
worth, and he announced to-day that
any Of the officers or men who wish
to erect portable houses on it for their
families may do so without cost A
score or more of the soldiers announced
that they will accept the offer.
Spartanburg is in the throes of a
Secret Service scare to-day. All sorts
of rumors are being whispered about
regarding government sleuths who are
logging the footsteps of officers and
men who may visit the city and seek
refreshments other than those consid-
