CHANGES AT BANK.
New Men Employed by Bank of
South Carolina to Fill Vacancies.

In order to meet the new condi-
tions brought about by the war; to
handle its business with greater dis
patch and take care of it's growing
patronage, the National Bank of
South Carolina of Sumter, finds it
necessary to make certain changes in
its clerical force. Earle Rowland
and III. l.. Mccoy, having joined the
army; f. c. Dunn, formerly teller for
this institution, having resigned to
take up another line of work, of
which the Bank is very sorry, these
places have been filled by the en-
ployment of Yates Yeadon, Styles
Marshall and Geo. H. Rowland, all
of whom are Sumter boys, so we'll
known to our people, that they need
no introduction in this community.
In addition to the bringing in of
these new men, this bank has divided
its teller's work, putting in both a
paying and receiving teller, where
formerly there has been only one
man. which means very much better
service. These places are now being
filled by Ansley Yates and Cyril
Schwartz, who are also Sumter men,
of banking experience, both of whom
will be delighted to serve YOU. This
institution is keeping up it's reputa-
ton of being alive TO everything that's
worth while in it's line and for the
interest of this community Its
growth indicates how it is succeed
ing.

The German Shock

Armies. like automobiles, when
thoroughly up to date, must be equip
ped with shock -absorbers. This is the
latest discovery of German efficiency.
and StoSstruppen, or shock units Of
about four hundred men each. are
now attached to each army CORPS.
American correspondents at the
French front tell us that the "shoc1
units" are especially formed for difli-
cult operations which the ordinary
regiments evidently are regarded n,
unqualified to undertake, and are
formed from among the young, Wig
orouS men of the regular battalions.
They are nearly all unmarried men.
or, If married ARE childless, because
the rate of mortality among them is
hlSh and pensions are expensive
Fhey, in fact, resemble the "forlorn
hopes of old-time wars, except that
they are not volunteers.
FROM German prisoners it is learn
ed soldiers who are insubordinate or
otherwise in disgrace are sent into
the ranks of these special units des-
tined to sacrifice themselves i'm attacks
on specially important positions. such
as the Chemin deS Danes. which have
hitherto resisted attack. The London
Times correspondent at British gener-
al headquarters thus describes the
Stosstruppen i'm action:
The affair on Mont des Singes,
which was much the bigger opera
tlon, began with German success,
entirely due to the action of the
StoSstruppen, and ended i'm the re-
covery of the whole of the ground
lost in the first surprise, with the ex-
ception of one small length of trench.
Up to the moment of the enemy at
tack both sides held trenches just be-
low the plateau on the summit of the
hill. The French had. however. man.
aged to push forward a short COM
muhicatIon-tronCh ending in an OBJ
servation post, from which they COM
mandcd some view of the enmys po-
Sitons beyond. by sudden rush a
body of Stosstruppcn, carrying only
grenades and working i'm their shirt
sleeves, carried this post and trench
and swept on down the longer COM
munication-trcnch below it, the
! French retiring before them as they
advanced Having rushed along il aG
