HELP TO REDUCE FIRES.

The Dispatch-News has received
the following very interesting letter
from State Insurance Commissioner
McMaster, and we commend the sug-
gestions offered to the favorable con-
sideration of all Lexington folk:
"Help to reduce the shingle roef
fires by advising the people at THIS
season of the year, that they should
put piece of old sheet zinc or an old
discarded dry cell battery in their fire
places and stoves. The fumes from
this will rid chimneys of SCOT and save
money and houses.
"Help prevent fires by urging peo-
pie to rid their cellars, garrets and
premises of trash Have no greasy
rags about the house to start sponta-
neous combustion fires. Do not put
ashes of any kind in wooden boxes.
Replace weathered shingles with tin
or some non-combustible roof and see
that their electrical wiring has not
the insulation worn off and is in prop
er good order.
"Help save the property of the peo-
pie. This may not reduce insurance
rates but it will save loss to many cit
izens." .-s... .-

NEGRO SOLDIERS ARE
ORDERED TO COLUMBIA

Columbia Record.
Over 5000 negro selectmen from
the Carolinas and Florida are to be
modified at Camp Jackson, begin
ming with October 8, according to or
ders issued today by Provost Marshal
General Crowder, a copy Of which
was received by Gov. Manning. The
message to Gov. Manning stated that
26 per cent of the States entire en-
tire quota should be modified Octo-
Der 3, this increment TO be composed
entirely of negroes.
North Carolina and Florida author
tics have also received orders to dis
patch like number of negroes to
Camp Jackson. -.
The entire draft of 26 per cent for
these three states will make up to-
5al Of 8,4l6 negroes, divided up as
follows: =
South Carolina, 2,618.
NcEfa Carolina, 4,153.
Florida, 1915.
The adjqtant generals Office will
kaye charge ef the movement of the
negro troop ain tthRi ttata, and Adjs-
.ttant General Moore already has ar
Eangements underway.
It is ASSUMED that the remainder Of
the negro selectren in this State will
be included in later movement. Fig
ures based on recent compilation of
reports showing the number of men
held for service by local boards indi-
Gated that the ratio of negroes being
certified in this State was over 60 per
cent OF the entire quota. The States
quota is 10,O61 ard with over 1000
negroes provided for in the first in
crement, there remains approximate
ly 5000 to come later if present plans
are adhered to, the war department
recently stating that each cantonment
would have to care for its own negro
troops. 1t was declared, however,
that these would be segregated.
Lexington County's quota of negro
troops for the first movement on Oc-
tober will be ST; end il is assumed
that the local board will have calls is
sued to that number at once.

SOLDIERS MOVING NOW

First South Carolina Infantrymep
go to Greenville, the second battalion
Of this regiment consisting Of about
$50 men and officers left Camp jack
son for Camp Sewer Greenville Tues
da-. The Charlestoa- -ha+-zss:iiiiOn and
the Columbia battalion of the second
S. C. Infantry is expected to follow
latter part of the present week. The
two latter batalions have been guard
ing the camp and on other duties The
military police which have been assig-
ned partly to the provost guardmen
both at the camp and in the city of
Columbia will be relieved by the
eleventh U. S. Cavalry now at Camp
Jackson. ..
TOTAL. NUMBER ARRIVALS
The latest figures given out by Col.
J. Malcolm Graham, chief mastering
officer, Camp Jackson, show that
7,271 selected men have reported in
the second increment to date. Addi-
tional men are expected every day
this week. North Carolina and Flor
ida are practically all in, but some
others are expected from North Car
olina and possibly Florida. The men
reporting this week will be mostly
from South Carolina. The figures
now stand: South Carolina, 1896;
North Carolina, 4,019; and Florida,
1925. One reported this morning
from Texas. He had been selected in
South Carolina, having moved to
Texas after registering in this State.
The first Indians to reach Camp
Jackson came in late Saturday night,
these being Cherokees from Robson
County, N. c., There were IA men in
the contingent and there were accom-
panied by two members of Robson
county board to explain their social
status to the officers at Camp Jackson.
. The coming of these Indians, COM
monty called Croatans, is expected to
give the camp authorities another so
cial problem to solve. The croatans
associate on terms of equality with
neither white people or negroes, and
it is probable they will have to be 10
Gated to themselves. In Robson
county they ride in the white railway
coaches and stay in the white wait
ing rooms, at the stations. This, how
ever, is about the extent of their as
ISOLATION with members of the white
race, who neither eat nor sleep in the
same places with the Cherokees. The
ordinary Croatan has no more use for
q negro than has a white man. The
Croatans have their own schools.
WheG they reached the camp Satur-
day night they were assigned to sep
arate sleeping quarters and Sunday
were given separate mess quarters.

SURVIVOR OF SUBMARINE
ENLILSTS IN u. S. NAVY

years of age, from Birming-
ham, Ala, walked aboard the
u. S. S. Recruit in Union Square
at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
and said he wanted to enlist in
the United States navy. While
ne was being examined by Sur
geon J. J. Kaveney he casually
remarked that he had the. expe-
rience of Submarine gun fire
during the past summer. Du-
.pree had shipped from Port
land, Maine, last June on the
Norwegian tanker, "Kongsli''
bound for Rotterdam. On the
return trip in the third week of
August. out four days, from the
coast of Rotterdam at five thirty
in the morning three shots were
sent across the bow of the tank
er. Dupree said: ....
Il was on watch on the hurri-
cane deck. The. weather was
clear and calm. No warning
vas given except the three
shots. Twenty more were
jired and in ten minutes We
were sunk. The crew Of 28
took to the three boats and i'm
1nediately the, submarine arose
and came .Wlthin fifty yards of
US. This was Instrumentation
the Captain of the submarine
had with our skipper. It was
all in English, with no trace
of German accent::' -
"How long have you had this
ship?' said the submarine cap
TAIN"
"A year and a half,,' answer
ed our skipper"
Where was she built?' he
asked"
Baltimore was the reply.
What kind of a crew have
you?"
Mixed. Danish, Swede and
Norwegians."
ANY Americans?"
None"
According to Dupree the
Captain of the tanker asked for
4 tow and he was told that an
English cruiser would be along
in the morning. The next
day the cruiser came along but
paid no attention to the men, it
being q rule of the British Ad-
rlicaIty not to pick up life boats
After foundering in the rough
sea with no rations but q few
biscuits and very little water:
the men finally landed at ST..
Nazares, France.
Dupree has been three years
at sea, having shipped from
Norfolk, Va. He was educat-
ed in the public schools of Bir-
n1ingham. He was sent to the
Training Station at Newport.
