As finally agreed upon the bill is virtually the same as reported by the subcommittee, but is radically different from the reorganization bill submitted by the War Department to Congress. In addition to establishing a compulsory military training the compulsory military training the ed into a citizen army, composed of men who have received the compul sory training, a sianuaiu hhu;, tu?isisting of 280,000 enlisted men and 18,000 officers and a nationwide guard.

Senator Alan Johnstone voiced j{ his apprval of the object of the !j meeting, and pledged his support to j any wt il planned method of procedure,' adoptea Senator Neils Christensen of N Beaufort. where cotton growing has', been practically put out of business, also pledged his hearty cooperation. W. A. Preacher, a member of the . House from Jasper county, outlined 1 the ravages made by the boll weevil in that county during the last year. 1 He stated that should the same dam- ( age be don& next year the people of his county would be destitute, and that they would have to call on the Red Cross for assistance. Mr. W. W. Long of the Extension Department of Clemson College made an interesting and powerful address. One of the points touched on by Mr. Long was the amount of damage which might be expectd in this state during the coming cotton season. From the representations of cotton and boll weevil experts, it was confidentially stated, that the pest damage will damage the state to the extent of twenty million ($20,000,000) dollars, more or less dependent upon climate conditions favorable to the boll weevil, and that so far, this year, these conditions were ideal for him. Mr. Long also called attention to the statement of W. D. Hunter, head f the Crop Pest Division of the United States Department of Agriculture, in which he stated that the boll weevil would cover the entire state of South Carolina, and that should mm l. a r D 2 1-2 MILES FROM Dl ]R ROAD, containing 2( and will iT au is been subdiv :co land, and road. .
