Workman of Greenville, rwho it is un derstood, will be one of the leaders in the re-organized National Guard, and these and other military leaders for the State are endeavoring to get as many former National Guardsmen as possible into the reserve militia, that South Carolina may have a strong foundation for a future permanent military organization. The new companies which are to be organized are to be in the towns of Andersoh, Pelzer, Laurens, Harts- ville, Darlington, Camden, Fort Mill and Rock Hill. Adjutant General Florence, will compose the second regiment for this State. There is now a first regiment, composed,of 12 iwell organized reserve militia companies, of which the 'Columbia company is one. The organization of the new companies will be perfected as soon as possible, and the aim will be to have two complete regiments of re serve militia, to form the basis of the re-organized National Guard, which will be perfected when authority is given by the militia bureau at Wash ington. The action of the militia bu reau will depend, of course, on the decision of congress, as to the status of the future military force for the nation. Col. Julius E. Cogswell, of Charles ton, is commander of the present com- plece regiment of State militia. The completion of the second ree;iipent will mean the election of another col- onel for the State’s reserve militia. It is believed that congress will take some early action with regard to the future of the National " Guard, and when this is done the two regiments of reserve militia in this State will likely become the Natiorial Guard for South Carolina. It is expected that a number of former National Guards men and soldiers of the recent armies will enf.st in the State militia. TIME REQl IRED TO SIGN TREATY between Berlin and Versailles and re turn.

Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bul garia probably will be summoned to Versailles a fortnight after Ger many to consider their peace treaties, which temporarily are overshadowed by the German negotiations. There is the greatest uncertainty concerning the disposition of the Turkish empire. The entente appar ently is anxious to have the United States accept Armenia and Cilicia as a mandatory but the American disno- sition towards this has not been indi cated clearly. The future of Constan tinople has not been determined al though some of the American dele gates would prefer to have the United States take charge of it rather than of undeveloped territory and convert it into a model city with modern docks and ideal sanitation. The British, French and Italians apparently are willing to have the United States take over Constantino ple as this would avoid possible dis putes from European jealousies. The desirability now is being dis cussed of having a separate commis- sion from each of the.five, big coun der from the British government for 1,000,000,000 fe£t of lumber white this country has received orders for 1.000,- 00P feet of oak from ^England and 12 tries go into the Orient and investi gate Syria, Palestine and Armenia rather than have joint commissions do this work. shiploads of lumber from Italy. Mr. Simmons said Russia which be for the war exported 52 per cent of the world’s lumber supply, would not be in a .position to cut lumber until five years after the government has been stabilized and order restored. Austria and other countries which ex ported lumber before the war are in a simlla position, he said, so that the present burden in supplying this com modity would have to be borne by this country and Canada. England, Mr. Simmons said, had subsidized a corporation to erect saw mills in Siberia to supply the home needs of that country. Great Britain recently called on its citizens imme diately to build 300,000 homes for returning soldiers and sailors, the igovernmont agreeing to refund ! 75 per cent of any differential cost be tween today and five years from now. Replying 'to questions regarding the future of Bolshevism in Russia, .Mr. Simmons said: “Bolshevism is like a scourge which must run its course. I believe that eventually it. will fail because of its hjulal..iiijustlcc . and .. immorality—It is the greatest menace to re^l democ racy that the world has ever seen. FARMERS OF AMERICA ~ STAND WITH SOUTH Urge / R e mo y al^QlGo vern men t. tions on Cotton and Redaction of Acreage. Denver, April 16.—Removal of gov- ernmentwestrictions on the marketing of the cotton crop and reduction in acreage planted in cotton were urged at today’s meeting! of the Farmers’ Educational and Cooperative Union of America in cenvention here. Speakers pointed out that a more diversified farming plan would aid in develop ment of the South, which has been handicapped by confining farming • operation to cotton. A report by the cpmmittee on cot on and cotton products said: “There have been more severe re strictions on cotton ever since the beginning of the war than on any other farm product and more of those restrictions remain in force than on any other farm product. Even today there are restrictions on the trade with our allies. "With these facts as a basis we feel justified in asking our government to make every effort to have these re strictions removed at the earliest pos sible moment.” WORLD NOW FACES FAMINE IN LUMBER MORE WAR TAXES SOON APPLICABLE PRICE $952 lest 10 per cent, for cash.

Man who was Sen tenced to bo Shot by Rolshevlki Gives Views. ’ Chicago, April 15.—Roger E. Sim mons, who was sent to Russia in 1917, as a member of a United States gov ernment commission to study the lum ber situation in the war devasted countries and who was taken pris oner by the Bolsheviki government and at one time sentenced to be shot, today told the legislative commission investigating high prices of building material that the world was facing a lumber famine. Prices of lumber, he said, were cer tain to rise in the next few years be cause of the Unprecedented demand which would come from the recon struction of the - war stricken re gions of Europe. The major portion of this lumber, he said, would have to be supplied by the United States and Canada. Canada already has received an or Drugrs will Advance in Price Four Per Cent After May 1st. Admission Tax. Certain Medicines are Exempt from Tax. Washington, April 18.—Regulations gotjerning collection of the tax on ad missions, soon to be issued by the bu reau of internal revenue, define the four classes, which are exempt from the tax. These are, children under 1? years old l>ona fide employes of the place of amusement, municipal officers on official "business and soldiers or sailors in uniform. All other persons are subject to the tax (which is one cent for cash ten cents or fraction thereof) of the price of admission. If a theatre sells to a soldier or sailor a two dollar ticket for one dol lar, the tax is ten cents on the dollar, not twenty cents on the regular price. Admission by passes are subject to the tax. If the pass entitles the holder to a dollar seat, he must pay ten rents. The dramatic critic who occupies a Two dollar orchestra chair must pay twenty cents. The law provides the tax shall be paid by the. person paying for the ad mission. and that places of amusement shall keep‘a record of the amount of tax colected. Monthly returns and re mittances must be made to collectors of internal revenue on or before the • last day of the month following that for which the return is made. Products of the druggist’s shelf will go cents of cost May 1 as a result of the imposition on that day of the new war tax. The internal Revenue Bureau to day reminded that this levy will be "made by the use of revenue stamps to he fixed by the retailer t^ perfumes, essences, extracts, toilet waters, cos metics, petroleum Jellies, hair oils,’ 1 pomades, hair restoratives, hair dyes, tooth and mouth washes, tooth pastes, aromatic caehous, toilet powders, other than soap powderg, and other similar substances and preparations. A like tax is imposed on proprietary medicines “as to which the manufac ture or producer claims to have any private formula, secret or occult art for making or pepaing the same.” No objection will be made by revenue officials to affixing the stamps by the manufacturer or "Importer as agent or a retailer where practicable. Vaccines and haierines which are not advertised are exempt and also sales of medicines not advertised by a physician in at tendance upon a patient. msmmmmmm _ . &.
