•TEAR ENLISTMENT
PERIODS FOR N. a
Columbia, July 24—One year and
thre« year enlistments in the 'National
Guard have been authorized by the
fwar department, under an act of Con
gress of the Hth of this month, and
advices to this effect have been re
ceived by Adjutant General W. W.
antf'TnadeT'public today! This
isJthe enlistment plan advocted sever-
1 weeks ago by Governor Cooper and
Adputant General Moore, when they
wired the wor department asking for
authority to enlist men'for one year.
The aim of the governor and the ad
jutant general was to secure men for
the National Guard who wouta not en
list for a three-year period. The
one-year enlistment plan will make
much easier the recruiting of the en
larged National Guard, which -will be
begun in this state at an early date.
The advices received by the adju
tant reneral are from the ^lajor Gen
eral J. Mcl. Carter, chief of the ’mili
tary bureau in Washington. The
general makes public, as advance in
formation, certain paragraphs from
the New National Guard regulations.
General Carter’s letter says in part:
“Those men who served as enlisted
men in the Unitdd States army, or in
the organised militia of the several
states or the District of Columbia,
since April 6.1917. and have been hon
orably discharged may, within six
months after July or if dis
charged subsequently to July 11, 1919,
within six months after such dis
charges, enlist in the National Guard
for a period of‘OhO' year and may re
enlist for like periods.
“All other qualified men shall be
enlisted for a period of one year, 'or
organization the proportion of one
for af period of three years. In each
to two, and in determining this pror
portion all enlistments made under
(a) will be included. This proportion
of one to two applies only to enlist
ments. The requirements of law are
met if enlistments in each organiza
tion are maintained in the proper ra
tio, regardless of subsequent changes.

In a statement issued in Colombia
J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president
of the American Cotton ‘Association,
declared that he had recently laid
before, the largest mannfacturers of
America and largest dry goods houses
and best experts of America the
question: M What'is a pound of mid
dling cotton worth, baaed on the price
M tfl'F’-jnanulaciure3 product *joday,
after deducting the price for manufac
turing and a fair profit to the m&nn-
facturer?"
Mr. Wannamaker says in his state
ment: "Their answer to this inquiry
is that It is worth from 65 to 75 cents
per pound basis middling.*’
. 'T am firmly of the opinion that
the New England and English spin
ners are terribly uneasy on account
of the'tremendous advantages which
the American Cotton Association is
bringing to the entire cotton inter
ests," said Mr. Wagnamaker. "They
are terribly uneasy on account of the
fact that they realize the world is
faoing a great shortage, that the pro
ducer will never again operate his
farm except upon a business basis
and will not over produce.”

Story of Columbia.
The Atlanta Constitution and The

perhaps 20 pages, devoted to Colum
bia. Tbia supplement is to be an
elaborate piece of work, displaying Co
lumbia as she is. Much space will be
devoted to photographs and descrip
tion of the city beautiful, her resi
dence section, her palatial homes, her
school system, and all the .fine things
which make it a privijege to live in thef
state capital will be carefully taken
care of. Columbia’s industrial devel

State Sheriffs Summoned.
All sheriffs in -South Carolina, all
solicitors and all foremen of grgnd
juries have been requested by Gov
ernor Cooper to assemble at the State
House July 16 for the purpose of dis

In a letter which will soon be sent

the prohibition law-and says that “it
appears, thoo, that the jail population
of the state is increasing and that the
homiHd's record is distressingly
large."
