NEWS Of THE WEEK
FROM CANT SEVER
SPECIAL TRAINED MEN FOR AVl-
ALTON CORPS REPORT
AT CAMP.
BRING NO FLYING MACHINES
Thousands of Guardsmen Of Different
Trades to Receive Instruction in
Air Service Work.

reenville.-Several officers Of the
Signal Corps reported at Camp Sc
vier. these constituting the vanguard
Of a detachment Of several thousand
enlisted men Of the aviation section
of the Signal Corps who are to be sent
there for organization into military
units and for other training purposes.
The school will be under the com
mand of Maj. Berkely T. Marchaat,
Signal Corps. who has been here Tor
several days. The movement Of these
troops to Camp Sewer is to begin at
once and will continue as fast as they
can be received and handled. AS many
as can be cared for are to be sent and
there will be not less than 5000 or T.
900 and not more than 10000, accord
ing to present expectations.
SO far as known at headquarters
here, there will be no airplane pilots
among the officers.
The troops will be tradesmer AMI
artisans in the doHens of skilled
trades which the air service requires
for its maintenance, and as the gen-
eral policy is not to enlist men for
this service unless they are fairly
proficient in the trades for which they
offer, there will be little industrial
training to be done. The camp here
will be an assembly point for organ
1zing purposes from which, as soon as
they have been made into military
units, the troops will probably be sent
across.

1na5 Bales Cotton Burn.

Apderson.-Fire of unknown origin
damaged 1,085 bales Of cotton and one
compartment of the warehouse of the
Chiouola Manufacturing Company at
Honea Path to the extent OF approx
mately $4,000, fully covered by insur'
ance.
Possum hunters near the mill dis
covered the flames soon after the nlgnt
watchman had made his round. The
alarm was sounded and the mill fire
department responded and did erect
i've work.
The warehouse was equipped with
automatic sprinklers and the sprlnk-
ling system held the flames in check
until the roof of the warehouse fell
in. The falling roof broke the line
of pipes and the fire soon got oe-
yond control. The mill pumps poured
more than 100000 gallons of water
into the burning compartment ana
this. with the aid Of fire walls, pre-
vented the flames from spreading into
adjoining compartments, where more
than 5000 bales of cotton were stored.
President Hammett states that the
cotton damaged was valued at $780,
900. but he estimates that the sal
wage will amount to one-half the value
The loss of the warehouse and cost
Of extinguishing the flames Will
amount to $4,000.
The fire caused part OF the mills
to he closed for the day. The cotton
burned was Of the best grade and Wih
be hard to replace.
