Advice and Patriotism to
Members of Parish.

In message given to the mem
bers Of his parish at the South
church, yesterday, Rev. George w. c..
Hill forcibly and clearly showed the
position to be taken by the church
during the great international con-
fict. DR.. Hills message was full Of
patriotism and sound moral advice
1t follows:
1.-The South church makes recognl-
ton today of the opening Of the work
of the church year. Never before In
it's history has this been done under
circumstances so monentous and
staggering. And these circumstances
make direct and positive and ines
capable challenge to the church.
I'm the stir and excitement Of the
time the serious attention is given
mostly to the particular elements and
incidents Of the war. Our young men
are going away-already more than
seventy have gone-to defend our
land and the liberties Of the world.
A ferment of preparation Is on every
side. A spirit Of determination
marks every movement This war.
much as we deplore it. must be
fought and won for righteousness and

ing and the newly Stacked river did
not turn out to be much of a factor
in transportation and the boom died
and the farm Of about $50 acres fell
into the hands Of Father Boutlou.
Last winter it was bought by the pro.
motors OF the Monongahela Powder
Company and work begun in March.
While this plant is not large in
comparison with many large plants
yet the buildings are scattered all
over the $50 acres and those built or
building number nearly forty.
Not many can be seen from the
railroad but the main building and
warehouse is over 300 feet long, sand.

wagon roadway. In this building is
not only stored the materials for the
making of the powder but they are
also ground and firmly pulyerized pre.

construction of buildings all nails
were well and deeply set and bolts

Much machinery is of brass and wood,
and iron is not allowed to come in
contact with iron. Thousands of
brass screws were used in fastening
together bins, hoppers, elevators and
other things. This will show what
precautions are taken to prevent the
fatal spark.
Electricity taken from the lines of
the M. v. T. Co. is the power used
but each building requiring power
has separate power or motor house
and the power is transmitted through
several belts and wood pulleys, not
only to reduce speed of machinery
but prevent possible spark from the

Stomach Trouble

No person who has a deranged
stomach can enjoy or expect anything
but suffering and misery that will
eventually lead to more serious dis
ease or even death. The disorders
Of this vital organ are many and va.
ried, but all lead to the weakening of
the general health through its failure
to perform the all.important function
Of nourishing the body. Starvation is
the result; the entire system is weak.
ened and the victim becomes an easy
prey to disease in many irons.
Stomach trouble manifests itself by
unmistakable symptoms that should
be Immediately needed. Its presence
is indicated by lassitude, uncomfort-
able sensations in the region Of the
stomach, an excess formation of gas,
lack Of appetite, bad taste and foul
breath. Sleeplessness and nervous
ness generally accompany stomach
trouble. The organ which nature in
tended should furnish self.sustaining
nourishment for the body becomes a
generator Of poisons, which are taken
up by the blood, resulting in disa-
greeable blotches, pimples, boils and

Spartanburg Protests
CITY Wants Negro Troops Di-
verified From Camp Wadsworth

SPARTANBURG, S. c., Aug. 80
The news that the negro troopers or
Colonel William B. Hayward's 18th
Infantry are to train at Camp
Wadsworth has caused the local author
tiles TO discuss the possibility of per-
suading the War Department to divert
the regiment. The city and the Cham
Der of Commerce have appealed by
telegraph to Congressman s. j. Nichols
to stop the troops from coming here.
"Spartanburg wanted camp, but not
under such conditions" said repre-
sentative of the local Chamber of Com
merce.
1--WE understood that there were 70
be no colored troops sent here. The
War Department is making a great mis-
take in sending Northern negroes TO
this city. We would not mind having

we understand and who understand us,
but the Northern negro, with his ideas
of race equality, will be trouble

representatives Of the board, in con-
junction with the Provost Msrshaps
office, will go over the lists of artisans
accepted and, irrespective Of exemp:
ton claims or lack thereof by the in
dividual, retain in civil lifS such arti.
sans as may be found are needed.
In support of the plan TO keep such
men Mt their trades, it is argued that
with millions of men in non-necessary
trades and callings il is folly 70 send
men needed behind the lines to the
front.
This was an error England made in
the early days Of the war. In conse-
ouence men had to be taken from the
army and returned TO their trades.
France has had to do the same thing,
only in a lesser degree.
In we'll informed circles IL is de-
clsred that, save only over the serious
ohiections of the War Board, no such
error will be made by the United
States.

443 Take New Test; Find
ings To Be Forwarded
to Washington
Appellate Board Busy
Local Exemption Board Re-
versed 131 Times; $50
Appeals Denied

The determination Of the men re-
iected by Local Board 1o2 for physical
reasons for service in the National
Army was completed yesterday after
noon by DR.. Victor c. Petersen and
twenty-five assisting physicians in the
medical department of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company, / Madison
Avenue. A report on the results which
were attained in less than two days
was promptly made TO Deputy Attor-
ney General Roscoe s. Conkling, who
seized the records of Board 102 last
Monday on orders from Washington.
DR.. Petersen said that he was not
permitted to comment on whether the
determinations showed important dis
crepancies with the original physical
examinations Of the rejected men Of
the 1O2d local exemption district, whose
board meets at Public School 10, at
East Houston and Essex Streets. He
referred all inquiries to Mr.. Conkling,
who asserted he would be unable to
discuss the report intelligently until
he had a conference with DR.. Petersen
to-day. Mr.. Conkling added that he
would pass on the results of the re-
examination to the Provost Marshal
General. Four hundred and forty-three
determinations were made, according to
DR.. Petersen.
No reason has yet been given for the
action against Local Board 102, whose
members are still serving and upon
whose good faith no reflection has been
cast Mr.. Conkling pointed out yester-
day that the Provost Marshal General
had the power to take similar action in
regard to the work of any other local
board.
The district board yesterday began
its new programme of meeting five days
6 week officially. II considered appeals
from the decisions Of local boards and
original applications for exemption on
industrial grounds at the rate of three
a minute. During the day the board
passed on $50 cases. The decisions Of
local boards were reversed in 13l cases
and exemptions were granted, chiefly to
aliens and men with dependents. Local
boards were affirmed in $50 cases. The
members of the district board divided
almost evenly in it's attitude on indus
trial claims. Twenty-one applications
