STUDENT STATUS IN MILITARY
SERVICE.
College Men are Regularly Enlisted
and Are Placed in Fifth Class.

Washington, July 29.-The military
status of college men in the ranks Of
the students army training corps and
his relation to the draft were defined
today in war department order. The
student soldier is enlisted in the mill
tary service of the nation, but upon
reaching draft age he becomes sub
ject to registration whenever the
president directs. He then is placed
in Class D and will not be inducted
as long as he remains in the stu
dents army training corps.
On the day the order number Of the
student soldier is reached the fact is
reported to the college president. to
the commanding officer and to the ad-
jutant general. A report on the mans
record as a student soldier and as a
scholar is put before the war depart
ment's committee on education and
special training with the recommend
alton that he be called at once to an
officers training camp, to an army
camp or be permitted to complete col
lege training by transfer to the en-
listed reserve corps.

STILL A CANDIDATE.
Hon. John l.. McLaurin Knows That
He is The One Man in the Racf
Qualified to be Governor and Will
Save the State if Elected.

Bennettsville, July Ex-senator
John L. McLaurin returned to Ben
nettsville Saturday in good physical
condition. He finds it necessary to
go to New York with his daughter,
Mrs. Charles Sigh, who has received
a message from her husband, Capt.
Sigh, who is at Camp Mills and who
expects to leave for France shortly.
Your correspondent asked Senator
McLaurin for statement in regard
to his campaign for governor and
he said: II am leaving my name on
the official ballot so as to give an op-
portunity to the voters who are op-
posed to the kind of factional poll
tics which makes South Carolina the
laughing stock of the nation. If was
elected, l would attempt to end fac
tional strife in the only way that ii
can be done,-the destruction Of boti!
factions by the substitution of in
dustrial and economic issues. I be-
lieve that the whole power: of the
State government should be used to
protect our cotton crop. The export
situation is such that we will be
largely dependent on domestic con-
sumption. This leaves a large over
plus which will press heavily on the
market. Unless the price of spots is
sustained, the. borrowing basis of cot
ton is contracted and it will take the
crop to pay the debts incurred in its
production. When the war is Novel
cotton will bring fabulous prices. but
those who do not produce it will reap
the benefits, because twill have been
forced out of the hands Of the farm
ers. This was my main purpose in
entering the campaign and know
that I am the only man in the race
who is equipped with the knowledge
and experience to handle this situa-
ton. If the voters of South Carolina
want my services they know me and
my equipment, but T do not feel that
l should be required to drag myself
through such ridiculous campaign
as is now in progress and shall not
do SO.'
