DAM OF CONCRETE
SWEPT BY WATERS
Washed Away With First Filling of
=. Lake.-Will Repair Damage
'.' At Once. Il

Laurens, May 14.-The concrete
dam of the lake at the Laurens-Ctin-
ton County club broke yesterday af-
ternoon within a few hours after the
lake had filled up for the first time.
The break came at about 2 o'clock
and in a short time the IL feet of sc-
cumulated water was rushing
through lowlands toward the river,
leaving a gap in the dam 40 feet
wide and an empty reservoir. The
dam was completed only few weeks
ago and the water turned into the
lake two weeks ago. The rains of
the past two days caused sudden
swelling of the tributary streams,
and this probably had something to
do with the break, though it is
stated that the concrete at one end
of the spillway had apparently given
way slightly before the break came,
caused, it was stated by water wash
ing out the filler of earth between
the concrete base and the spillway.
At a meeting of the directors held
during the afternoon it was decided
to rebuild the dam at once, and work
to this end started today. 1t was de-
cided to delay the opening of the
club something like 80 days, though
it had been planned to open it to-
day or Monday. William C. Byrd has

GOOD STATES MANNING
Returns From New

Heid-War Finance Cor

Columbia, May 14.-Generous
financing of cotton expectation is
promised by the War Finance Cor
poration, according to former Gov.
R. l Manning of Columbia, who re-
turned Thursday afternoon from New
York, where he attended a confer
ence of bankers, cotton, men and the
finance corporation. In a statement
issued today Mr.. Manning stated that
he feels sure the action of the War
Finance Corporation will result in a
stabilizing of conditions, and that it
would be material factor in moving
cotton abroad.
The War Finance Corporation
showed that it has a clear Under
standing of the cotton situation,"
said Governor Manning, in speaking
of the conference he attended in New
York. They see that cotton is a ma
tional asset as we'll as a southern
product"
The conference lasted two days
and the result of it, Governor Man
ming said, is that the War Finance
Corporation will finance cotton ex-
ports
On reasonable conditions, Govern
or Manning said, the War Finance
Corporation will finance cotton for
prompt shipments, against deferred
payments. It is also willing to finance
future shipments, within reasonable
time, against prompt or deferred
contract for sale.
Also under certain conditions, Gov
ernor Manning stated, money will be
advanced for prompt shipments to

Gated at distributing centers, to be
held to the. account of American ex-
portcrs and bankers.
In speaking Of the conditions on

will lend money for exports, Gov
ernsr Manning stated that each ap.
plica alton would be considered sepa-
rately, and on it's own merits, and
in accordance with the War Finance
Corporation act and the regulations
of the corporation.
"The feeling in New York follow
ing the conference" Governor Man.
ming stated, "was that the War Fin
ance Corporations assistance in fin
ancing expectation of cotton will
tend to stabilize conditions, and will
be material factor in moving cot
ton abroad" The governor added
that no phenominal results are ex-
pected, for conditions in Europe are
such that no unusually large buying
can be expected. The War Finance
Corporations action will serve to
extend credit to foreign countries
and thereby stimulate expectation Of
American cotton.

GENERAL PERSHING
WILL HEAD ARMIES
Announced as Chief of Staff by Sec
retary Of War.-Harbord
Takes Care Of Detailed
Duties.

Washington, May 14.-General
Persh!ng, since the end of the war
nominally the head of the army but
actually without any important du-
ties or authority, will become chief
of the general staff and the actual
head of the army July l, Secretary
Weeks announced Friday. On that
date he will relieve Maj. Gen. Pey-
ton C. March, the present chief of
staff
In addition to his new duties Gen.
eral Pershing~will remain head Of
the general headquarters or war staff
of the army, a post recently created
! for him. He will have as assistant
chief of the general staff his old
friend and chief of staff in France
Maj. Gen. James r. Harbord, who
will, relieve Maj Gen William M
Wright, the present executive assist
ant
Although bearing the title of chief
of staff and having authority and
supervision over all functions of the
general staff, General Pershing will
be relieved of all administrative and
detail duties by General Harbord,
who will assume the routine of the
Office, leaving General Pershing free
to direct the larger aspects of the
military establishment, particularly
the organization and training Of the
national guard and organized re-
serves.
In announcing his selection, Secre-
tary Weeks made it plain that Gen.
eral Pershing will be the real mill
tary head of the army from every
point of view. He said the general
of the armies would be relieved of
administrative work by General Har-
bord and would be charged with the
organization and training of all the
elements of the army and the United
States, including the national guard
and the organized reserves. General
Harbord, Mr.. Weeks said: will have
much broader powers than those
formerly exercised by the assistant
chief of staff.
major General Harbord," the Of
fetal announcement said Gas assist
ant to the chief of staff will have
supervision over the administrative
activities of the war department un-
der the chief of staff, handling such
matters directly with the secretary
of war and leaving General Pershing
free to acquaint himself with the
various elements, of the national
guard and organized reserves, which
would form the larger part of the
army under his command, if active
operations should be undertaken be-
fore the date of his retirement or de-
tail to other duty"
The plan contemplates that in time
of active military operations General
Pershing would automatically as
sumo active direction of operations
in the field. General Harbord would
similarly move up to the post of
chief of staff and take over direction
of the war department general staff.
Secretary Weeks has not decided
on a detail for Major General March
after he leaves the post of chief of
staff, which he filled throughout the
war. The secretary has intimated
that General March will have his
choice of any post available on July
1. 1t is considered probable he will
assume command of the Ninth corps
