PRICK OF AMKHM ANH
Reward For First Anurlron Soldier
IKhmI or -
An Associated I'rttMx story wnt out
from British headquarters in France,
dated Sept. 15, sh.vh; Germany mlll
1 u ry authorities on tlu> western front
have she Ami concern about the Immi
nence of tln? Aitwrixi) army's entry In
to l!??? lighting l?y offering rewards for
t!u> production of the first American
prisoner. The n**iit*i'n 1 (HtmniAinUng the
eleventh reserve division iwontiy put
the price of 1(H) marks oil the first
American soldier brought dead or
alive into his Hues.
Tin* information lias been disclosed
by the diary of a Prussian sergeant
brought from the twenty third resorVe
Infantry regiment, Ue wrote'at the
end of July:
"We art* sup|H?sed to have had
Americans opposite us, for some time
now and two divisions of Portuguese
on our right. The man who brings in
the tlrst American, dead or alive, to
headquarters has lieeu promised the
Iron cross of the tlrst class 4(H) marks,
and 14 days' leave from the division."
The diary, which covers a period of
nearly two months describes in de
tail the destruction of an important
I ml ust rial town hy the (icrmans and
its transformation hy a German army
coinnndor into a great mass of for
tified ruins. Batteries have been
nlaiited In the cellars of private houses,
factories and public buildings, which
!ve Iwen partly demolished to give
a better Held for the tire, while the
streets and squares, and even the city
met cry have iwen torn up and en
meshed with wire to provide positions
for groups of machine guns.
The diary describes lrow the troops
quartered in the city spent their time
when not on duty in llrlng machine
guns from the barrlcvrtod windows and
the roofs of buildings left standing,
and in searching for hidden treasure
and in digging among the ruins for
silverware.
Hospitals in Nineteen Cities.
Washington, Sept. 10.?Sites have
been chosen tentatively In 10 cities for

in which the United States will begin
the work of x'chabitating for private
life Its soldiers' who return wounded
froiii the front In Rui ope. The cities
selected as the largest centers of pop
ulation.- were announced tonight by
Major General Gongas, surgeon gen
eral of the army, as follows:
Hostoil, ,New ? York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore. Washington, Buffalo. Cin
cinnati. Chicago. St; Paul. Seattle. San
Francisco, Los Angeles' Denver. Kan
sas City. St. Louis. Memphis. Rich
mond. Atlanta and New Orleans.
The hospitals at Boston. Xew York.
Washington and Chicago probably will
be tlrst built. They will have 5(H)
beds, with provision ^Tir doubling their
capacity if necessary.
Dairying.
The success of seven Lee county far
mers as dairymen with Guernsey cows,
realizing $7,500 net profits ought to
inspire a greater interest iu dairying
by the farmers of the State. The ab
sence of sufficient lime in South Caro

wTTwher this State may reach great
?success in producing the beef type cat

much upon the products of soil con

such as the Jerseys and Guernseys with
great success and finally develop a
