DISCHARGED SOLDIERS
TO GET RELIEF
Senator Dial Secures Definite InfOrma.
ton as to Soldiers Who Devclop
Symptoms Of Tuberculosis After Be.
ing DISCHARGED.


According to news dispatch to
The State from it's correspondent in
Washington, Senator Dial has secured
explicit information from the war de-
partmcnt to the effect that men who
suffered exposure to gas during the
war and were discharged while apDar-
emily we'll, but who have since devel-
oped symptoms of tuberculosis, may be
admitted to army hospitals for treat
mcnt. Sen. Dials attention to this
problem was attracted by the case Of
local soldier, Claude Patton, who be-
gan to lose strength soon after his
discharge from the army and who has
since secured treatment at the hos
pital at Camp Jackson through the in
strumentality Of the Home Service de-
partment Of the Red Cross.
According to the statement of The
States correspondent, application may
be made to the nearest representative
of the United States public health SER
vice or, if there be no such official in
the vicinity, application should be
made by letter to the Chief Medical
Adviser, War Risk Bureau, Washing
ton, ID. g., giving the name, rank and
organization OF the former soldier and
the character Of his disability. Scna-
tor Dial is Of the opinion that action
would be CXDedtcd if such 1ottorc
came from the mans home physician
III which case the bureau would be
glad Of suggestions as to treatment
needed. The bureau. in emergency,
Will arrange with local physicians or
institutions to handle such cases tenn
porarily.
Col. Roger Brooke, of the surgeon
generals Office. has assured Senator
Dial that the fact of such soldiers
having been discharged 'wil in no
way operate to interfere with their
receiving adequate treatment"
AT the present time the army nedi-
cal service is not prepared to state
definitely the ultimate efforts of
gaSsing with regard to rcactivation
OF the tuberculosis LESSONS but in Col
Brookc's opinion "it is quite likely
that irritation incident to severe
gassing has been a factor in produc-
ing the breakdown Of healed tubcr
culOsiS LESSONS in the lung"

FOUR NEGROES CONFESS
no CLINTON KILLING
Charlie Ferguson First COnfcsses and
Others Break Down and Tell Of the
tii0ir

After stoutly maintaining their in
nocence for several days, four negroes
now held In the county Jail for the
murder Of Wash Reeder at Clinton
some time during the night Of May II,
have confessed to the deed, according
to the statement Of Sheriff Reid and
Will go on trial for their lives at the
regular term Of court which convenes
June 10th. Hugh Blakely, one Of the
first negroes arrested, and Arch
Pettys, later arrested at Newberry.
have been released as no evidence has
been found connecting them with the
crime Charlie Ferguson, the first to
confess, Sam Rice, Cleve Garlington
and Allen Williams are the remaining
four who admit their implication in
the case. Allen Williams is a man an
parently about 60 years Of age, but the
rest Of the quartet are young men.
According to their story they enticed
Jeter to the clump Of bushes near the
sewer line with the intention merely
OF giving him drubbing Before the
drubbing was over, however, they had
beat him so severely that life was but
matter of short time so they dragg-
ed him to the sewer drain and hid
him there. He was found the next
morning and an immediate effort made
to locate the slayers.

CLINTON ROAD MAY
TAKE LOWER ROUTE
Government Engineers Indicate That
They Will Recommend Shorter
Route to Clinton.

Supervisor Watts stated yesterday
that from the conversation which he
had just held with the engineer Of the
State highway department., who is
surveying the road from Kinards to
Fountain Inn, he understood that the
lower route to Clinton, which goes out
by the j. Wade Anderson place, Counts
old ginnery and the Ramage place.
would be recommended as the logical
route to be selected between this city
and Clinton when the road is located
for permanent improvement under the
cooperative plan of the county high
way commission, the state highway de-
partmcnt and the federal government.
This recommendation, the supervisor
said, would go up to the authorities in
Washington and If accepted there
would amount to a practical stipula-
ton that the road be built along this
route. The engineer advised MIR. Watts
that he had found practical line
along this route as far as the CITY
limits and that the line would be a
mile and a half shorter than the route
now mostly travelled. However, he
said, the city Of Laurcns would be ex-
pccted to take caro- Of the steep grade
along the Darlington place just on the
edge Of the city limits.
In rgard to the Princeton route,
which will be worked entirely with
county funds, Mr.. Watts said that the
highway commission would 20 over
the proposed routes with the county
highway engineer, N. G. Hughes, at
the meeting on June 10th when final
decision will be made as to the direc-
ton the proposed road is to take. 1t
is already practically assured that the
road from Laurens OF the Shell fork
Will remain practically unchanged as
to direction. On account of the yorv
heavy traffic which goes over this sec
tion OF the road, it Is expected that
unusually heavy work will be done on
1t. Engineer Joe Hale is already at
work upon this section. The commits
on will have to decide on the 10th
between the socallcd lower route via
Mackneece's bridge and Charlton Hall
and thence to Hickory Tavern and the
upper route by A. A. Garlington's and
Abecrombic's store thence to Hickory
Tavern. incidentally, Mr.. Waits stat
cd that landowners along the road
from Tumbling Shoals to Princeton
