New Candidates Display Wonderful Interest. It is especially gratifying to The Dispatch to witness the activity that is being dsplayed by the new candi dates. We mean by the new candi dates the yousg ladies that entered the Campaign within the past few days. They seem to realize that now Is the time to act and are securing many subscriptions each day; in fact, -New York Letter 'r By O. O. MclNTYRE. (Special Correspondent of The Dispatch.) New York, June 20. It is difficult to excite New York. When the order came to 'douse the glims" to forestall a possible Hun bombing expedition I failed to find a person save a news stand girl who showed the slightest nervousness. The order was heard on Broadway at the busy five o'clock, period the hour when telephone booths are at a premium and when the cocktail shak ers are white with frost. Under the hotel canopies the curb stone comedians were as facetious as ever. The chorus girl scurried to her appointment for a terrapin dinner to be ready to recite her deathless line, "Oh, girls! Here comes the prince." Taxicab pirates shouted airy persi flage to fellow pirates as they jockey ed in and out the maize of traffic and when they doubled on the trail of an amazed countryman shouted their stock phrase, "How do you like the -city?" with the same old enthusiasm. When groups stopped and scanned the' skies for a possible bomber they did it with as much seriousness as a circus clown and always some Joke was fashioned out of the tense situ ation. The roof gardens were dark but crowds were there to see what was going to happen.. And orchestras played in the dark and fox-trotters trotted in the dark weaving an Inno vation out of an Impending disaster. ' ' Crowds flocked to Broadway and the subway trains rolled into every station with sardine like loads. In the vaude ville houses,, the comedians had their little .japerles about the possible bombing and the audiences laughed. Around the, news bulletin boards the crowds -were thick as flies at molasses time, waiting for any inkling of news. To -a casual observer it would seem that, , to put it grusomely, New York- ens -wanted to be. in at the death." They wanted to see what it looked 1 like, to have a. city bombed.. But back of it all-was a certain tautness ready at the slightest spark to galvanize into action On the surface New York was Ilka, the face of the mlmo whose an ties thide a secret tragedy. - Allan 'Norton, who edits J Greenwich District out and sent or mailed to the Cam each day displays an increased inter est by all of the candidates in the Campaign, and every one seems to realize that the only requirement to enjoy success is by taking advantage of every opportunity and securing as many subscriptions as possible. To enjoy success in the Campaign is not a question of money, but it is a ques tion of legitimate business. The Dis patch desires to increase their circu lation; therefore a Campagn of this character was resorted to, and to show the liberal policy they are willing to richly reward all who will co-operate with them in their purpose, and many young ladies can be well rewarded that will devote a part of their time each day in securing subscriptions. The Studebaker Six, the Chevrolet Five Passenger Touring Car, the Vic tor VIctrolas, the choice of any ma chine the Singer Manufacturing com pany make, the four chests or Silver, the two Eastman Kodaks and the two solid gold ladies' wrist watches are really worth the while and time of any one. Their quality is good and there Is not a young lady regardless but what would not appreciate one of the above-mentioned gifts. They are within the power of all to secure and to be doubly sure that success will be assured on August 17th, take ad vantage of the present special vote of fer by Saturday, 10 p. m., June 22nd, and there will be a wedge so strong that It will require intense activity for any one to dislodge the successful candidate that takes advantage of the special vote offer this week. Village's Rogue, managed dances and was active in other village stunts, re turned from England. Norton writes the most ultra of futurist verse. On this voyage he took- notes in free verse of his impressions. One of the verses in his diary read: "As the days grow longer, The grains of Salt Grow smaller And smaller." Some officials found these notes and Norton was detained. There was no way he could explain free verse. In fact it can't be done. The nearest explanation is that they call it "free verse" because no one will buy It. But anyway Norton was third-degreed and he never did convince the ship's chaplain although he was allowed to return. In the window of a hair dresser on Amsterdam avenue is an American flag made of human hair. It was made from the hair of soldiers sweet hearts who sacrificed their locks.

Deep sea fishing will be only a memory this summer. If I was not so agitated over the sudden overturning of my vacation plans it might be possible to conjure a witti cism out of the incident.

Adv. Break FrornJptate Penitentiary at Columbia Statehouse Deserted For Day (Special to The Dispatch) Columbia, S. C, June 20. Three prisoners, two white and one colored, escaped about nom Tuesday from the state penitentiary. They are: Frank Griffith, sent up from Lexing ton county April.i?, 1916, for life for the murder of a? Mr. Roof on the Grif fith farm. Clarence Davis, sent from Charles ton county on June 11, 1914, for 30 years for assault and battery. Hie sentence was later commuted to 10 years. J James Monroe, colored, sent from Dillon county February 28 for 15 months for larceny. The men were at work in the com missary department and did not have on the regulation prison stripes. They escaped by sawing a hole in the floor of the commissary and getting into the basement, where they broke a window and escaped. The commissary treas urer was out of the commissary was out of the commissary for a while about the noon hour and it was dur ing his absence that they sawed the hole through the plank floor. An alarm was immediately turned in by the treasurer and the police and county, officials notified. Warn ings were also sent all over the state and a vigorous search for the men was immediately instituted. Frank Griffith was convicted of the murder of a man named Roof. The case was a very sensational one and great interest centered in it because of the prominence of Griffith, who is a brother of the former superintendent of the penitentiary. News that he had escaped created somewhat of a sensa tion in Lexington county, where he was particularly well known. The statehouse was deserted yester day, a number of officials having gone to Barnwell to attend the opening meeting of the state campaign. Quite a number of the officials, however, will not attend any more of the meetings, as they have no opposition. Governor Manning Monday night called up Mayor T. T. Hyde, of Charleston, and asked him if he would get some of the plants in that ,city that were not engaged in government work to shut down for a brief period of time and allow their labor to un load the two ships of nitrate of soda that have been in Charleston harbor for some time, but which have not been unloaded because, as the gov ernment agents reported, of the in ability to get labor. Mayor Hyde as sured the governor he would co-operate in every way he could. At noon Tuesday Governor Man ning received a telegram from Mayor Hyde to the effect that one of the ships had been unloaded and that the work of unloading the other had be gun. This means that the fertilizer will be available for the farmers of the state immediately. Favorable to Cotton Crop New York, June 20. The weekly re port of the weather bureau proved quite as favorable as expected regard ing the immediate progress of the cotton, but again mentioned increas ing numbers of boll weevil in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. . It seemed that its favorable features had been discounted, as it brought in no' selling of consequence and the market firmed up after its publication on covering, which was promoted by private com plaints of droughty weather and high temperatures in the southwest. July advanced to 25.97c and October to 24.15c, or 13 to 16 points net higher.

George Sisler, the St. Louis sensa tion, who is now playing first base for the Browns, Is again hitting the ball in sensational style and bids fair to capture the baiting championship. He is far ahead of both Speaker and Cobb, and is closely pressing the leaders. He should have no trouble in passing Burns and Walker, of Philadelphia, but Ruth and "Home Run" Baker may furnish more seri ous opposition.
