CONFEREES FINALLY ARRIVE AT DECISION "Within Two Weeks After Preside?t Signs Registration Will BegiJL. Washington, May 10.?The Ions deadlock of senate and house con ferees on the eelective draft military bill was broken today with agreement on a compromise measure under which a great war army would be raised by selective conscription or men between the ages of 2i and 3<J, inclusive. Authorization for recruiting Col. xuxrseveu s proyvBwu vuiuiitcvi ut vision for service in France, written into the bill by the senate and de fended stubbornly by the senate con ferees, finally was thrown out on the insistence of committeemen represent ing the house. In return the house yielded to the senate's proposal for .prohibition at military posts. The conference report is expected to be given approval by both sen&te and house within a few days ana within two weeks after the president haa affixed his signature registration of those eligible for conscription will be under way tnrougout the couu try. Some States already nave seise: d their registration boards "and the irar department has erected a vast and intricate war machine for assign ing and organizing the conscripts. They will be assembled at training camps in September. fiattofA4?fftn' <*> i dmlnistratio*. The compromise bill is understood to be generally satisfactory to the ad ministration and to the army general ?taff, on whose advice the original Measure va* framed. . The most lmnortq.it change made iH congress was in the age limit, fixed the staff at IS to 25, inclusive. The senate made them 31 to 27 and the house 21 and 40. The ages named in the conference agreement at 21 ana 30, inclusive, maKiug mo ui?> applicable to all men under SI. Although there has been no direct anthoritire expression from the White House regarding'the Roosevelt volunteer proposal, administration opposition has been Inferred from the fact that no provision for volunteers iras contained in the bill as sent to coneress from the war department.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING ASSOCIATIONS TO BE Aon 1 VT7T7T: vatfA^iujuu Clemson College, S. C., May 10.? The director of the extension divisiou is advocating the establishment id everal towns in the State of cooper ative marketing associations for tUt purpose of marketing the standardis ed Carm products of the farmers. The plan of organization is as follows. That fifty ind'iviuuals will sub scribe $200 each; that the capital stock will, therefore, be $ 10,00 u with the provision that tne sioo* cannot -pay over 8 per cent, interest to the stockholders; that there will be no salaried officials other thau ~j the Board of Directors who will b* paid for their services when attend ing meetings; that the marketing as sociation employ a trained market iag agent who is familiar with mar ket conditions and who understand! the standardizing and grading 01 farm products.

The association will keep on han? ?uch supplies as are necessary foi th6 farmers to use in standardizing their products; that the profit or these supplies will not exceed li per cent.; that the marketing agem will atcall times instruct the farmers kow to standardize and grade theii products; that the association will mot buy any product that is not of fered in a marketable condition and ias been graded and standardized For instance a farmer brings ii eggs. The association will not buj tha eexs if they are dirty, unwashed snnall and large mixed, of differeni colors and not in cartoons, nor will tkey buy grain for instance unless the grain has been graded and stan dardized and put up in a marketable conditio^, and this principle will ap ply to the handling of all products. This association will serve twc purposes. First, it will offer tin - J ?T- i"K1 a nripo f-.n fflrtnei ivv for his products because there wil: }e very little expense attached n conducting the business as the stocfc can only pay 8 per cent. Second it will 'be a means of educating tht farmer, as to how to standardize anc grade his products and the necessit) for doing the same. It will be necessary to employ t trained marketing agent.

Somehow it did not pull together as a composition; it did TiOt rrr'y itself; it did not express the fullness o? his thought. Turner, at work on an adjoining painting, 8aw his perplexity and in turn regarded the picture with keen, critical in stinct. After a few moments ex j change of opinions, Turner dipping his brash into the color on his pal ette, held it poised in air.

Bowman to suffer death by elec trocution on June 20 for the murder of Policeman H. H. Franklin on J March 9, 1917. His codefendant, | Clinton Kennedy, who was tried on a charge of accessory before the fact, was found guilty with recommenda tion to mercy, which means he will get life imprisonment. Sentence lias j not yet been passed upon Kennedy,! his attorneys having given notice that they will make a motion for a new trial. The trial of the case against Palmer and Kennedy was begun yesterday. Kennedy was represented by counsel. Palmer had none, and the court ap pointed two able lawyers of the Or angeburg bar to defend him. Mackey Palmer did the shooting that caused the death of Sergt. H. H. Franklin. It was proved that Clinton Kennedy, a negro barber, advised Palmer to | shoot any officer who attempted to j arrest him. On various occasions prior to the shooting of -Sergt. Franklin, Mackey Palmer entered and stole money rrom the home of Mrs. M. C. Dibble, where he was a servant. After being sus pected, he made his escape and was later arested in Georgia and brought back' to Orangeburg. He was maae a trusty by the county jailer and he perfected an escape, taking at the time a magazine pistol, and three chambers of steel shells, which was the property of the jailer. It was tes tified that Palmer spent that night with Kennedy and that Kennedy counseled and advised him at that time what to do in case any one en deavored to arrest him. Palmer j made a statement to the sheriff in. the presence of Kennedy that he would not have killed Sergt. Frank-! lin had Kennedy not told him to do 80. Immediately after sentence Mackey Palmer was taken to Columbia, where he will be kept until June 2u f when he will be electrocuted under sentence of the court. Palmar is a' negro and is about 25 years of age.: The court room was l.iled to ca-i pacity with onlookers through the J trial. The verdict of the jury was ' well received and the people of Or-. angeburg are glad no lynching to?K; place in the case and that the law was allowed take its course.
