*> w FIRST REGIMENT OOMING HOME. | Back From Border by Thanksgiving. Second Stays on Border. Washington, Nov. 16.?Five National Guard regiments were ordered home from the Mexican border today. They are the First regiment of South Carolina, Seventh New York, Third Indiana. Third Wisconsin and Third Minnesota. In a statement announcing the order the war department said it was in. continuation of the policy "announced some time ago to gradually withdraw National Guard regiments from the border as conditions permit and, in accordance wun me recommendations of Gen. Funston. these regiments have been ordered home.' War department officials said the order had no relation to the proceedings of the joint conference at Atlantic City. Approximately 100,000 National Guardsmen will remain on the border when these five regiments have been withdrawn. The regiments will start as soon as transportation facilities will premit and all probably will be at their State muster points by Thanksgiving. GLUCK REOPENS WITHOUT FUSS.

Dr. Johnson sustained a number of bruises and contusions and had his neck severely wrenched, but was able to go on to Washington and attend to the business upon which he had started and return home safely. He Kan a Newspaper. The preacher at the close of one of his sermons said: "Let all in the house who are paying their debts stand up." Presently every man, woman and child, with one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said: "Now, every man not paying his debts stand up." The exception, a careworn, hungry-looking individual, clothed in his last summer's suit, slowly assumed a perpendicular position. "How is it, my friend," asked the minister, "you are the only man not able to meet his obligations? ' "I run a newspaper," he answered, "and the brethren here who stood up are my subscribers, and?" "Let us pray," exclaimed the minister. If this question was asked in your congregation what would you do? stand up or sit still? Look at your label now.?The Subscription Man. INSURANCE SITUATION. Governor Exercised Great Care in Selecting Men to Draft Legislation. Columbia, Nov. 4.?The fire insurance situation has been in a more or less unsatisfactory condition since last spring, due to the withdrawal of the larger companies. The larger companies, it is said, withdrew because of the Laney-Odom act, and as a result fire insurance matters have been disturbed. Governor Manning and others have undertaken to bring about a readjustment and Commissioner McMaster has felt that the companies have! been needlesly alarmed. Regardless of what may be the merits of the controversv the fire insurance situation is disturbed and the business is not pursuing normal lines. Some time ago the Charleston agents issued a call, and as a result a committee of five agents presented the suggestion of a commission to Governor Manning and Commissioner McMaster. The idea is for this high-class commission to study the entire situation and to recommend such legislation as will best meet the needs and restore normal conditions if practicable. Mr. McMaster is to be chairman of the commission that is to investigate the laws and recommend any revision or to frame a newcode if thought best. Governor Manning in the selection of the commission has given the matter most careful thought and has selected men in whom the people have entire confidence and whose suggestions will inspire respect. Mr. McMaster will be chairman, and from the State senate he selected Mr. Laney, of Chesterfield, who was one of the authors of the Laney-Odom act, and w-ill be familiar with that legislation. From the house he selected Mr. Davis D. Moise, of Sumter, who is likely to be chairman of the house committee on banking and insurance, and who is a level-headed lawyer and business man. Then he selected Mr. Bright Williamson, a leading bank president, farmer and business man, of Darlington. Mr. John D. Harris, of Greenville, is a large and prosperous farmer. He has been very successful. Friends of Governor Manning suggested Mr. J. W. Gaston, of Spartanburg, as the best type of successful farmer and business man, and he was asked to serve on this all-important commission. Messrs. Harris and Gaston are distinctly successful non-political farmers with level heads. Mr. E. P. McCravey, of Easley, is a former member of the house. He is a real estate and insurance man. Mr. Alester G. Furman, of Greenville, is president of the South Carolina Underwriters' association, and Mr. Lawrence M. Pinckney, of Charleston, is the "daddy," so to speak, of the proposed plan of getting together. Messrs. Furman and Pinckney, besides conducting successful insurance agencies, are themselves largely interested in properties and are highclass citizens. The personnel of the commission is highly approved and there is every reason to anticipate the best and most patriotic results. Planting Wheat. """Thb gradual"rise"""in"the price of flour for the past year, and the sudden jump within the last few days, has caused a widespread wheat planting movement among the farmers of the county, according to information coming to The Herald. Not a great many farmers contemplated planting A ? ^ ^ nnn r< Art o c ffio WllCill lllfcj lllbt U1 LliC ocaov/u, c*o vuv price of flour then was not dangerously high. However, within the past two or three weeks there has been a marked advance in the price of this staple. At present flour is selling for from ten to twelve dollars a barrel, retail. The advisability of every farmer planting a few acres of wheat for his own use is so apparent that the merchants report heavy sales of seed wheat. One merchant stated | Tuesday that he had sold more seed wheat than ever before, in the last few weeks. Mr. H. C. Folk, a prominent merchant, stated the other day that while it was impossible to foretell what would happen, he did not think flour i would go much higher, although, he said, the present cheapness of money, A * 1 4-Vks-v n to _ 10 WHICH HO aSL'HUCU LLIC yicocui heard of price for flour, made it difficult to venture an opinion with much; accuracy. At any rate, every farmer will be j safe in planting enough wheat for the use of his own table. Thousands of dollars can be kept at home that! would otherwise go West, if enough; wheat can be harvested next year to 1 supply the county with flour. The Three-I league is putting up; a good front. Though uncertain as to the make-up of its 1917 circuit and most of its clubs complaining of | financial embarrassment, it an-i nounces with some display that it has decided to use the double umpire sys-; tern next year. And that seems to be the extent of its plans so far. Why He Lost His Friends. He was not loyal to them. He borrowed money from them. He was suspicious of everybody. He measured them by their ability to advance him. He did not know the value of thoughtfulness in little things. He never hesitated to sacrifice their reputation for his advancement. He was cold and reserved in his manner?cranky, gloomy, pessimistic. He never thought it worth while to spend time in keeping up his friend ah ins He regarded friendship as a luxury to be enjoyed instead of an opportunity for service. He was always wounding their feelings. making sarcastic funny remarks at their expense. He never learned that impMcit, generous trust is the very foundation stone of friendship. He never threw the doors of his heart wide open to people, nor took them into his confidence. He did not realize that friendship will not thrive on sentiment alone, that there must be service to nourish it. He was always ready to receive assistance from them, but always too busy or too stingy to assist mem in their time of need.?Success. Weight of Numbers. N Malachi O'Rouke, a familiar character in Chicago, had occasion to appear before a police magistrate to answer a charge of larceny. After hearing the testimony of two witnesses, who said they saw Malachi take the goods, the judge said: "Well, Malachi, I .think you're guilty." "An' what makes your honor think that?" asked the Celt. "These two men, who say they saw you take the goods." "An' is that all?" asked Malachi, in surprise. "Why, your honor, I can bring 200 men who will swear they didn't see me take the goods."? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. SHERIFF'S TAX SALE. By virtue of execution directed to me by G. A.
