Officers Wanted. f Columbia, May 3.?W'thin a very short time after President Wilson signs the proclamation calling for men for the new army, the machinery for the enrolling of all eligible^ in JSouth Carolina and other States wiii be set in motion. The work of enrolling the eligible^ for the new army has been relegated to the governors ?f the several States.and witthin ten dtys it is beiieved that the strength of the nation 'indor the plan of congress for raising an army will be Jcovn. , Gov.

Pull plans ar.d particulars as to how the work .s to ;e accomplished v/illj be announced from Washington at a; later date. The plans of Congress call for; BOO,000 rr.cn as the first unit of the j great a; my of 2.000,000 mem Sou In j Carolina v.i'l be expected to furnish j about b,000 enlisted men. Within i.woi years it is expected that about 32,000 ^ rr. n from this State v;i!i be under ^ arms, not including the members of the National <iuard. There is every indication in this cmercrencv thc.t the National Guard' will be used almost exclusively fo: j gu|?rl duty. The First reg.mont is now^&uarding railway bridge ami public property and the Secjnd regiment will probably be called out in a few days. More Officers Wanted, w The call for volunteers for the training camp at Fort Oglethorpe,! Ga., is urgent because the time for filing applications will expire May 7. Unless more South Carolinians enlei the camp, then the regimen's from this State will be placed under coni1 rnand of men from other States. Several hundred men have already ' sid^d up for the training camp p^ri ioo 'of three months and this number will be largely increased. Everything possible is being done to place South Carolina on a wv footing. A personal representative of Gov. Manning is in Washington for conference with the National Defense J committee on the question of estab> liphing a State defense council. There; is much work to he done. The State! defense councl will be named at a ' later date by Gov. Manning. I Politics in Background. Bad Cough? Feverish?

But the farmers are not planting as much garden truck as they ought to> and the variety is too small. Some plant a few collards ai. ; cabbage and others a few beans and collards. Let us bear in! mind the fact that our gardens al-j most feed us the year round, or ought, to and let's plant a few beans, s;nr j turnips and some other vegetables) that suits us most, every month tins j Summer, then we can have something to boil for dinner and can't say w? are nearly perished eating so much fried rations as we often hear the farmer say. Oh, so many of oik farmers just stay ut the river and fish, they get the corn and cottcn planted, the tobacco sot out, and then turn it over to the wife and children, md the poor mother and children just have to 'ive in the cotton and tobacco field while the grass and weeds take the corn and garden. Sometimes the wife and children must suffer for vcgeiao;es r?gnt on tne farm just when they ought to he the most plentiful. It was a good law the people m;nU when they stopped them thorn fishing u part of the week, but it ought to have been from the 15th of Ma/oh to the 15th of July. It will be only a few more years until the mothers and children will stand around and beg their husbands and fathers tr take them to the show to ? e whu was once so plentiful?fish and squirrel tf. Mr. Farmer, let's stay away from the river, let's reserve a few fish for our grand-children and great grandchildren to see. Let us grub up our hedge rows and ditch banks, it will improve the looks of our farms and we ran make vegetables on them, if cleaned up now. We can plait them down and have some fine late beans and cabbage to put on the table instead of eating only the things that are fried. Mr. Renter, if you are on a rented place, see if you can't find a hedge row or ditch bank that you can clear oft in your spare hours and plant in something that you and your family can eat, it will keep money in your pocket, it will make people call you thrifty, it will give you a belter reputation, and all that will cause you to improve and improvement will give you better advantages. The big farmer today is looking for the thrifty renter, he is looking for the man that is wiiling to work. Mr. Farmer, did you ever stop to + 4-u^i. :r ?ii ii.- f bjiiuiv n tin tix*? i aimers product was taken off the market the great steamboats would never cross the Atlantic again, the huge locomotives would stand idle on the tracks, you would never hear the buzz of the saw mill any more, and you would never hear the shrill whittle of the great factories all over the world again. But the saddest of all, you would hear the little children in all the big cities and small towns begging the mothers for something to eat. Mr. Farmer, we have won the praise, now let's win the prize. Let's cultivate our own corn fields bettor let's make a better sample of tobacco pic w the cotton more often aval make more on our land than we have eve; made before. Let's keep the gras.s and weeds out of our gardens, pi an more vegetables and just jus soon a* one cr^p is usod up, put in another. Mrs. Farmer, lot's see that ou garden is plowed and planted in some thing that we can eat the yc:i around our yard, clean up cur bad yards, plant flowers in them unr make something beautiful to look at instead of a trash pile and weeds t< raise bugs and insects and germ? that may result in sickness. Lot' hatch off a few late chickens so wc can have some for market and horn use late in the Fall when priceB ar? good. Now, let us see how much improvement we can make on our e.rm and in and about our home this year. THE HORRY HXB "wo important sooth The Fly?One of the Greatest Enem Clemeon College, S. C.?The Mexi can cotton boll weevil made an unusual advance across Georgia during the last two yea>*a, due probably tc the high winds. At the close* of the season last fall the lnsact had reached the Savannah river and we may e? pert an invasion of South Carolini during 191T. Ordinarily it require! about three vears from the date of itj first appearance until the pest reaches its maximum numbers, which stil leaves a good opportunity for Soutl Carolina to study and prepare for th< situation that is to confront it. It it a mistake to regard the matter lightly because it is absolutely certain tha the weevil is coming and the climati< conditions of South Carolina are suc? that probably greater effort* are re J quired than in many localities in othe: states to produce a cotton crop unde j weevil conditions. To produce cottoi , after the weevil has become thorough ; ly established requires the best farm lng of one kind or another. The crop becoming an uncertaint; under weevil conditions must be math ; earlier. We must begin the pteparc , tion of our seed bed in the fall; i must study the best early varieties o cotton best adapted to the locality am ! The Cotton Boll Weevil.

SEVEJf HOLLWEG'S CRITICS Ll/tltJ IAI 2-313 1 rtuw til MILL UK T Conservatives Attack Government for Weakness on Peace and Strikes j t SOCIALIST INFLUENCE IS GREATLY FEARED Say Peace Efforts Are Leading Germany to Brink . of Ruin. Copenhagen, May 3.?Such German newspapers as are permitted to reach here indicate that the campaign against Chancellor von BethraannHolhveg is again in full swing. The Conservatives, although inisting thai the other parities observe a political truce in the interests of the fatherland, have adopted a set of resolutions sharply attacking the chancellor and censuring the government for weakness and vaccilation on tie peace question and in dealing with the strike agitation. ; The. resolutions express grief and . concern at the steadily growing influence of the Socialists, whose peace making efforts are declared to be leading Germany to the brink of ruin. Apparently, this attack was timed to coincide with the opening of the Reichstag, and it is significant that the resolutions are endorsed by the free conservative wing under Baron i von Eeydiilz. Baron von Seyd'.itz has hithe to boon far less an extremist than Count Westarp and Heir von ; Heydebrnnd, lexers of the reg'd ?- o?* . junker cor.>"rvaUve.?;. Eiid.t * cring Monarch/. 0^^ Artom; the pipers which are direct, ing their fire against the chancellor arc the conservative organs. The Kreu.se Zeitling and The Deutsche Tages Zeitung. They ac'cbso the premier of endangering the monarchy and sailing a course prescribed by the Socialists. The Berlin convsyonile.it of The Hamburg Fremdenblatt declares that the political life of Germany is passing through an era of strife and difficulties of opinion on external and internal questions which daily grows more lively and of broader dimension. The correspondent says that classification wih the government's policy is growing in all direddens, and that its resistance on ^ peace terms i i being used to sharpen ? mutual suspicions and the antagon% isms of the parties. The Socialist ^ leaders, he continues, do not hesitate to explain and justify the latest ? strike movement on the grounds of ? th( delay in reforming the Prussian . franchise. On the oilier hand, the _ Pan-German reactionaries stop at .' nothing to prevent the forma Hon of .1 t majority party, capable of realizing ) the needed reforms in the body politic. _ The writer declares thai the national . liberals are coqueting with the conservatives and that the opportunist clerical center is intent only on a t preservation of its own influence. His picture of the situation at the opening of the Reichstag is in other words ^ one of general strife in which each - man's hand is against each other, a . condition promising an illuminating * parliamentary discussion on all the ? questions. This condition probablyf explains the decision of the Socialists, 1 whom their opponents accuse of havt ing captured the chancellor to post; pone the proposed interpellation on I peace and perhaps put the brakes on a discussion of the problems of political reform. Urges Workmen to do Slow. The Berlin Yorwaerts, in an editorial signed by Herr Landsberg, a Socialist deputy, attempts to convince the workmen of the necessity of going easy with reforms until peace is secured. The no-indemnity plank of the Socialist peace platform has been selected by his opponents for their heaviest attack against Phillip Schied mann. The workmen are told that ruin for the empire and penury for themselves are certain unless a heavy indemnity is exacted. Otherwise, tnoy are informed the war will end with a G:rman debt of at least 120,i000.000,000 m vi'ka, requiring an anneal tax a ion o4' half a billion marks for in'?V0't and redemption in ruldi!cn to three bihion for normal cxper.ditu r?;s.
