Lor a clearer understanding of the purposes of the organization 1 quote from an interview given out by Col Thompson to the1 State Cress and indorsed by Ciovvc rnor .Manning-: Men to Volunteer. The new organization in South Car olina will be made up of volunteers from the unorganized militia. whirl the State conslilutior. p-\ vid s shal consist of those betv ? en the ages of' IS and !."?. Whi e its nrirnarv nurnose. is for Stair defense, incidentally i: will be capable of performing most valuable service :n training nun who will probably be drafted later, tlm. making them competent to serve as noncommissioned officers and placing them in line of promotion for com missions. The personnel of the organization will be composed of twe groups: (1) Those from 21 to 151, who will probably be drafted before very long; and (2) Those from 18 to 21 ami 31 to 40 who may be drafted later and who believing with ex-Ambassa dor Gerard, and other writers, that the war is going to last a long time, fee that they should embrace this opportunity of preparing for any eventuality in a time like this, when the spirit of patriotism is rife in the land, and every man feels it incumbent upon him to do his part, these men are willing to give their services to the Stutc without compensation of any kind; and they are just as patriotic and jusi as much to be commended as are the soldiers who already have an opportunity of going to France. Each Company must have (>0 bona tide members, winch is the minimum enlisted strength of a company. The enlistments are for one year and the service rendered will b in and to this State only; However this enlistment does not interfere with those called by the 'Selective Draft' as will be seen by the following which is from Secretary of War to Gov. Manning;"(1) 'The members as individuals, writes the secrctray of war to Gov. ernor Manning, 'can bo drafted by th' federal government.' This statement, of course, is generally understood, that is, that membership in the no*\ organization does not relieve the individual from liability for draft. "(2) The secretary of war continues, 'But inasmuch as such forces do not constitute the National Guard, is the National Guard is known to the I recent national defensc act, the members thereof are not subject to draft under . . . said act as members of the National Guard.' u(ft) The constitution of South Car ina provides that the militia shall nsist of all able bodied male eitiis who are more than 1H years o and less than 4f>, and the contion of the United States gives to ess the right to provide for cail th the militia to execute the the Union, supress insurrecIid repel invasions.' The secwar advises Governor Manogard to the State troop.** are capable of being called 'on into the service of the is as militia for the u*ua 1 purposes.' Ml be set n that the rek. State troops to the fed nt is practically th jfl iold by the National he passage of the Die' - the next session of the legisla H tuft, governor Manning will strongly recommend an appropriation be made .for the support of the State troops H In the mean time, there are no fund*' available for perfecting and equipping the organization. However, the pro jected movement has met with a hearH ty response from all parts of th? State, and the govei nor has receive* s<pplicatioab from many differen communities which desire to rais< companies. Under the circumstances he is in a position to announce tha H ir reaching: a decision as to where th* J2 companies of the regiment are t located l.e will be largely influenc od by the spirit \vbich is manifesto* in the acvCwi communities.

HERAimiGHTS TEMPORARILY OUT For the first time since the plant was installed a number of years ago, the Herald's ascclyline gas plant for lighting the office, was frozen over t the tank where lite gas is generat d; and the printer had to work under ndverse conditions this week by such iyht as he could get. After the icc haws cut, the plant will operate as l veil us ,v. r. I I I that show a disposition to help thorn- ' selves will he the most favored. Already some towns have agreed to secure municipal or county aid for the t establishment of armories and rifle, ranges, the men to pay for their own ! uniforms. They will bo reimbursed, later for these unfiorms should the governor succeed in securing aid from the federal government, or a State appropriation, although there is, of course, no guarantee as to that. It is estimated tltat the uniforms will cost about $10 exclusive of the blouse and | ! shoes. Six Companies have been accepted and there is nine others from which to accept the remaining six and its j now up to the men of this county. After the enlistment of 00 or more j members a meeting will b4> called at which one Captain, one Frst and one I Second Lieutenant will be selected, i These officers elect will have to stand j a satisfactory examination before bc1 ing commissioned as such. Judging from the number of in' quiries by phone and letter and in per son, the prospects for a good company of splendid young men are very bright.

An example of the benefits and profits resulting from the use of a pure-bred sire is shown by the expedience of a man who began farming or. a middle-western farm with a number of scrub mares which he always bred to pure-bred stallions. The mores averaged around 1,200 pounus. Some of the first crop of colts sold at maturity at prices up to $175, while fillies that were retained and in turn inter bred to pure-bred draft stallions produced sons and daughters none of which sold for less thon $100. Three marcs sold at $2115 each, and $450 was offered for one team, but this offer was refused. Good Roads Civilizers.

Pctrograd, Wednesday.?The Cen tral Powers, Count Czernin, the Aus. tro-IIungurian foreign minister, told the peace,, conference at BrestLitovsk yesterday solemnly declare their resolve to immediately sign terms which will terminate the war on conditions equally just to all belligerents. The Central Powers also favor a general peace without forcible annexations and indemnities. They could not bind themselves to such terms without a guarantee that Russia's allies would recognize them and carry them out honestly toward the Central Powers. Count Czernin declared that the Central Powers believed that the bade principes uttered by the Russian delegates could be the basis of such a ! peace, tie said they shared Russian ! condemnation of a continuation of the ! .vac for the sake of conquest. Allies .Must Come In. It is necessary to indicate most clearly, however, the count added, that the Russian proposals could be re a i-cd only in the event that all belligerents obligated themselves to adhcrr t.) the terms of such a peace. The Austro-Hungarian foreign minister declared that the Central Powers did not intend to forcibly annex territories seized during the war, nor to deprive nations of political independence lost in the war. The question of the subjection of nationalities who have not political independence to another country cannot be sieved internationally and must be met by each government and its people in the manner established oy the constitution of that government. I he protection of the right of minoru ties is an essential part of the right or peoples to self-definition. War Damages. In the event of a mutual refusal to meet war expenditures and pay damages caused by the war, Count Czernrn continued, each belligerent shall bear only the expense of its subjects made prisoner and damages caused to ?roperty of civilians by deliberate i violations of international law on the part of the adversary. The creation of a special fund for this purpose, a* suggested by Russia, could be di <cussed only in the event that th" other belligerents join in the peace negotiations within a certain time. The chaii man of the Russian delegation expressed gratification at Ger rvan willingness to mak0 peace without annexations and indemnities and with the self-definition of peoples. He' demurred, however, at the German tatement on self-definition as being incomplete. He said the war could not end without the roesUiblishmt nt of the violated lights of little and op-; pressed nation;ililios, an<! Russia I wou'd insist on guarantee that their I ' awful rights would ho protected i:i n general peace treaty. Proud Man.

MILITARY ACTIVITY CONFINED TO ITALY * I Dispatches during the holidays says. H that except on the northern Italian y front the militray operations continu tar below normal. In Prance, where H mow has falien along the entire front, H ( tily bombardment and small raiding H operations are taking place. fl W6st of the Brenta River in tlie |H Italian highlands the Italian Christinas day continued their counterattacks upon the Austro-German forces which previously had succeeded in / making* gains on Col. del Rosso and Monte do Val Bella. The battle waned throughout the morning* with grea! violence and the Italians w rested several of their former positions from the enemy, hut owing to renewed onslaughts by the Teutonic allied forces they were again compelled to give ground. The Berlin war office admits the Italians threw heavy counterattacks, against the invaders on the Col de! Rosso and neighboring sectors hut asserts that all of them broke down.
