CALL FOR NEGROES PUT OFF. South Carolina's Colored Troops Will Be Trained Later at Columbia. Washington, Sept. 10".?Negro troops of the National Army will be organized in separate unites as in done in the regular army, and as far as possible, will be trained in the State where they are raised. The call for negroes to mobilize at their camps will be postponed to allow the officers at the camp to arrange for the organization of these separate units. Both white men and negroes of the selective draft forces will be given an opportunity to volunteer for service in the battalions of troops for service on the lines of communication, their work being military, but not combatant. However, there will be negro fighting regiments for the National Army as there are of the regulars and the National Guard. Baker Outlines Policy. Secretary Baker outlined this policy of the war department today in a statement dealing with the method to be followed in the organization and training of negroes liable to draft under the National Army act. Presumably the negro regiments of the regular army and the National ? Guard will be retained as they are I as fighting units. The statement1 follows: "The rule of the regular army gov- J erning the training and organization of .colored troops will be followed in the National Army and they will be assembled and trained as separate organizations. "This call for the colored men to mr?hiii7? trill ha DostDoned until one of the latter calls, so that they will be called to camp at a separate time, giving an opportunity for the officers at the camp to assemble the organizations of which they are a part at one time. They will not be called last, although they will be included in one of the latter calls. Go to Cantonments. "All colored troops called in a State which has a cantonment in it will be trained there. Provisions will be made, but has not yet been made, for the assembling from those States which have no cantonments of thier quotoas of colored soldiers for graining. "Opportunity will be given to both the white and colored troops of the selective draft forces to volunteer in ibertain lines of communication forces, which it will be necessary to organize and it is hoped that an adequate number will volunteer for this military, but noncombatant service. But there will be both combatant and non combatant colored regiments." A REAL SENSATION. r"08liuasier anu vmvi vi * Hickory Grove, Arrested. York, Sept. 7.?York county experienced a real shock today, as was predicted in the News and Courier, when it was learned that. J. Meek McGill aid W. Carson Lattimore had been arrested on the charge of complicity in the lynching of Rev. Watson Sims, a negro preacher, which tragedy occurred in the Locus Hill section of York county early on the morning of August 24. Mr. McGill is postmaster at Hickory Grove and is well known in Western York county, where he has many relatives and friends. Mr. Lattimore is chief of police of Hickory Grove and also has numerous friends. Both Refuse to Talk. The two men were arrested at Hickory Grove this morning by Sheriff Quinn. They expressed no surprise when informed by the sheriff that he held warrants for their ar rest. The sheriff allowed both men to go to their homes in order to change their clothes. Then they were brought to the jail here in automobiles. Neither had any comment to make. Mr. McGill told the sheriff that he had heard several days ago that he was under suspicion in connection with the lynching, and Mr. Lattimore said that he. had learned early this morning that he was suspected. Chief Lattimore has a wife and three children. Mr. McGill is unmarried. Eleven arrests have been made in this case and whether any more will be made before the grand jury meets Monday remains to be seen. Almost anything is likely to happen now. Dick Norman, who turned State's evidence, has been released on bond in the sum of $1,000, signed by Dr. J. H. Saye. The Difficult Task. The all important place that industry holds in modern warfare has been clearly outlined?and the facts need no reiteration here. But the imperative necessity of establishing the highest possible degree of cooperation in industry is not so widely appreciated nor has it been so often stated.

Transplanted Bone. Ten inches of bone that supported his leg between the knee and ankle now is filling that amount of space in the forearm of Jim Herring, stockman, of Grady, having been transplanted there by a surgeon as the only remedy that would save the arm The leg, now bearing a silver plate has healed, and the arm promises tc be as good as new before long. Ten months ago Herring sprainec his arm. Xot having ready access te a surgeon, and thinking the injur} slight, he set the member himself.
