Women's Unseifish Service.

The women OF South Carolina who
are the women behind the guns in
the Young Women's Christian Associ-
tions organization in the coming
United War Work Campaign are some
thing in the way Of being big guns
themselves.
The governors wife, Mrs. Richard
]. Manning, is State chairman-not
merely honorary chairman, but active
chairman for South Carolina-and
she is already working hard every day
at her job. Long before she was the
wife OF the governor OF South Caro-
lima she had done more than her share
In active philanthropic work OF all
kinds. and since the war she has
either been at the head or on the ex-
ecutive board Of every war organiza-
tion in which women shared the re-
sponsibilities in the State.

Inc American first army has car

the leveling of the famous S.. M;h:sl
salient in Lorraine.
In little more than "a hours not
only had the work been accomplished
but General Pershing's men had all
the important towns, villages and
stretegic positions in the sector with.
in their hands and were standing on
the banks OF the Moselie river at
fagny, looking across the stream into
German territory. And the southern
outer Notifications OF Metz. the great
German stronghold in Lorraine. were
only four miles distant.
Large numbers of Germans had
been counted and others were still on
their way back to the prison cages
and many guns and machine guns and
great quantities OF ammunition and
other war stores were in American
hands.
From Nationwide to the north.
across the salient eastward to Pagnv,
the Americans have closed the mouth

Thursday morning heralded the ap-

In addition along the eastern side
or the heights north of Nationwide
the Americans have debouched from
the hill region and are astride the
railroad running from Commercy to
Nerdun. Likewise the Thlaucourt-
Metz and Nancy-Metz railroads are in
American hands.

DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA
ooings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress OF South Carolina Peo-
pie, Gathered Around the State
Capital.
Columbia.

COlumUla.
The Columbia Chamber of Com.
merce is interested in and has up for
consideration the question of a grain
elevator. Columbia is the logical
place in the State for an elevator, as
1t Is a central distributing point.
The Mexican boil weevil is invading
the State and it's appearance means
the growing Of more grain and less
cotton in the future. The elevator
could take care OF the grain grown
not only around Columbia, but in 9th.
er counties and it could be marketed
and stored or held for future sale.
1t Is thought that the elevator
would pay as one concern agrees to
supply 100000 bushels Of grain per
year, and IL an additional 100000 could
be secured from other sources, an ele-
vator would be an assured success.
The elevator would serve as a stimu.
lus to grain production, it is thought.

COACH HUTCHINSON
GOES ON The JOB AT .
WASH-JEFF TUESDAY

Special Dispatch to The 1ntelh Sencer
WASHINGTON, Pa. Sept. 10
Coach Ralph Hutchinson did not reach
Washington today. but sent word 70
Manager r. 81 Murphy Of the w. Q; j..
football team that he would be mere
carly tomorrow morning. Hutchinson
has been with the American Bridge com
pany at Ambridge. Pa. for some months
and was unable to straishten out MS
affairs in time to reach here TO-DAY lac
said that when he came tomorrow. how
ever, he would be ready to stay and
would take up permanent residence
here throu ghout the football season.
Hutchinson. like all the other football
mon had been uncertain as to what
stems to take owing to the confusion
which resulted over the war depart
r,ents' altitude on college football un-
der the new student military system.
He Is much graIfed that football Is TO
60. on and predicts that tho G7Inc can
proceed successfully under tho college
military system. He knows practically
nothing regarding prospects at w. Il j.
but in his letter to Manager Murphy he
promised his best efforts and said he
relt confident that the game here would
be attractive
Manager Murphy continued his prepa-
rations today for the arrival OF the
football men. None had arrived here
this evening but most OF them were en-
pected early tomorrow. Most OF the
players from last year have been forced
to complete plans for departure hurried
" and it Is realized that it will take
some time for them TO get away. Muir
: ply said he WAS confident. however
that a good sized squad would report
after
noon at three o'clock.
The training house Is now ready for
! occupancy and the grounds are in shape
to start the preliminary practice at
once. The recent rains have softcned ur
