explained that he had stopped off at
Washington to transact business with
the War Department and would not
reach here until tomorrow.
At o'clock the first section Of the
train bearing the 22d Engineers ar
rived and was Immediately shunted
over the railroad spur to camp. Sew
eral hours later the second section ar
rived, and later still the last install
ment Of the regiment. The third sec
ton had not detrained at q late hour
and it WAS conside ed probable that the
men would spenE he night in the cars
and make camp at daylight.
The first section Of the Engineers
train was in difficulties several times
on the journey south. At Munroe, Va,
the engine was derailed and five hours
elapsed before another could be OBJ
tanned. At Petersburg, Va, three hours
delay was occasioned by further loco
motive shortcomings. Dispatching diff
fculties held the men up three hours
at Washington, and in all eighteen Of
the fifty hours consumed since the
train left New York was spent in
watchful waiting.
Similarly, no hotel reservation had
been made for Colonel Cornelius Van
derbilt, and it is likely that he will re-
main with his men on the train until
he can take up his quarters at the camp
tomorrow. The majority of the Off
GERS arriving to-day are quartered at
hotel where they expect to stay until
Tuesday, when, it is expected, quarters
for them will have been completed. To-

The war fever has gripped Spartan
burg with the arrival of the first con-
signments Of troops. From almost a
Aagless city il has become overnight
city literally draped in the Stars and
Stripes. But the patriotism is too
closely allied with the desire to profit.
Hotels are picking the most aff'uent
guests from the lines which besiege
their registers after every train ar
rives. In some cases less desirable
guests are being dispossessed to make
way for those from whom higher prices
can be exacted.
Automobile hack drivers arc reaping
harvest and have put up their prices
from 80 TO 100 per cent. Rents, pro-
visions and commodities of all kinds
are rising in price.
