Columbia, April 21.—To recruit thf'
Moofe held a conference with^ Major
Workman immediately on his return
Saturday from a leave, which he spent
at; his home in Greenville. Ma^or
Workman will be discharged from the
army at Camp Jackson in a fe wdays.
He was a major in the 118th Infantry,
prior to its recent demobilization.

plete regiments, which will mean ti the companies now in existence at

General W. W. Moore, who had a con
ference Saturday with Major* W. D.
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.

Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bul

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,-

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.

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.”

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.

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

imposition on that day of the new war
tax. The internal Revenue Bureau to
day reminded that this levy will be

metics, petroleum Jellies, hair oils,’
1 pomades, hair restoratives, hair dyes,
tooth and mouth washes, tooth pastes,

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
