W ash i n gton.?T m mod iate reorgan ization
of the national guard in the
States and territorial possessions of
the United States in accord with
plans approved by the War Department
was looked for by army officials
here. The guard is to be farmed
on* a basis of sixteen divisions
with a maximum expansion to about
440,000 men but Federal funds available
will permit of only 106,000 men
for the present.
As soon as the units alloted to
each State are formed and inspected
Federal aid will be made available
It is ^xpccted that all the units authorised,
including 47 regiments and
"?ighteen battalions of infantry; six

nineteen troops of cavalry and ten
regiments, twenty battalions and

be organized speedily on a skeleton
basis, which will provide (55 men per

%*Southern States east of the JMississippi
river and the States, Texas,
Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas
will be permitted to furnish approximately
one third of the national
guard strength of the nation under
the reorganization plans.

total of 47 regiments and 18 battalions
of that service arm contemplated
in the entire. In addition
those States along the Atlantic
coast also are heavily represented in
the coast artillery branch.
Of the Southern States, Texas
was assigned the largest number of
units, six regiments of cavalry, three
regiments of infantry and one field
artillery regiment. The authority
given Texas to organize six regiments
of cavalry was regarded as
significant in view of the constant
menace of armed raids from across
the Mexican border. North Carolina
and Georgia will rank next to Texas
among the Southern States in armed
guard strength.
New York, due to its preponderance
of population, will lead the
States nations in armed guard personnel

LIVE STOCK ESSENTIAL
TO SOUTHERN FARMS
Raising of Feed for Animals
Important in Coastal j
Region
CATTLE, SHEEP, GOATS,
ARE AMONG NUMBER
Important of Tick Killing, Fire
Control, Pastures, Winter
Feeding and Marketing.
"Since the United States entered I
the Great War the southern farmers
have had placed before them as never
before the obligation of raising their
own supplies of feed and food," said
G. M. Rommel, Chief of the Animal
Husbandry Division of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
in an address at a recent- meeting of
t.hf ilirn/il-Ai'is Ci lV
?.<v. v?nwvuifi ui cm; oouinern Settlement
and Development Organization
held in Baltimore. "The war has
given tremendous impetus to the
program for the development of balanced
farming in the South and we
need not ffcar that the increased
prosperity which is coming to the
southern farmers on account of the
adoption of such policies will not in
the majority of cases be permanent.
The South will pass in time permanently
from a one-crop system to a
system of safe and balanced farming.
In such a sytem live stock feeding
pci forms a most important function."
Assuming that as time goes on
such problems as drainage, roads, and
schools are given proper attention,
Mr. Rommel suggested the establishment
of a live-stock industry in the
Coastal Plain of the Southeastern
States depends on the eradication of
the cattle-fever tick, the control of
'ire and development of pastures,
he securing of an adequate supply of
FWAY. S. C., JULY 31,. 1919
winter feed, the supplying of loans
necessary to finance the live-stock
business, and the improvement of
transportation facilities.
Mut Kill Last Tick.
"While the problem of tick eradication
may be regarded for the bulk of
the Coastal Plain section as practically
an accomplished fact we can
not allow public interest in the mat
ter to be relaxed for a moment until
the entire infested area is completely
cleared of this pe.^t," Mr. Rommel
said. "It is extremely difficult, if
not perhaps almost impossible, to develop
successfully cattle-ranching
piojects in tick-infested areas in the
Coastal Plain."
The first step in developing cattle
ranching, in Mr. Rommel's opinion,
is fencing in area to be grazed. The
next step is to install fire guards and
i stop the constant buring which now
pivTaiin in many soumeiTt sections.
By placing- cattle, sheep, and goats in
such inclosures and grazing carefully
without overstocking, grasses such
as carpet grass and Bermuda, and legumes
such as lespedeza, will spread
and the range will improve. The
question of winter feed is almost
if not quite ris important as that of
pasture development. By compelling
animals to go through the short
I southern winter with only such feed
as they can pick up on the pastures
i now available a great deal of the
gain made during the summer is
lost. Cows become thin and weak,
and heavy losses at calving time are
common. Most of this loss can be
prevented by a simple system of feed
insurance, just as is practiced now on
the best ranches of the West. The
production of hay and silage and
-Wwv ~r ...n '
wnw m cottonseed meal will commend
themselves to the prudent
ranchman.
Suggests Cattle, Sheep, and Coats.
Mr. Rommel suggested that livestock
ranching in the Coastal Plain
should follow two lines?cattle raising
and sheep and goat raising.
I "The foundation of cattle breeding
in the Coastal Plain," he said,
"should be the native stock, commonly
known as the piney-wood cattle.
While these cattle are small and of
little value in themselves as beef cattle,
they furnish about as good a
foundation on which to bix?ed up us
the common cattle of the West in the
early ranching days of 40 years ago.
They are thoroughly acclimated and
the cows as a rule make good mothers.

j NEWBERRY NEGRO
SOUGHT BY CROWD
Newberry.?But for the prompt action
of Sheriff Blcasc there might
have been a repitition of the Wash- j
ington race riots in Newberry?that [
i
I is 11 tnc negroes here had tried t >
protect one of their number who so
far defies fate as to follow the example
of the Washington negroes
who brought on the recent riots in the
capital of the nation. It is likely that
he re the negroes, certainly the bettor
clans of them, would leave such an
offender to his fate and his just deserts.
About midday a negro ex-soldier,
just home from Franco last Friday,
insulted a white girl 14 or 15 years
of age while she was on her way to
town walking along the railroad near
the trestle. She ran and told of the
nogroc's conduct and in a little while
ho was arrested by the officers and
committed to jail. The affair became
known about town and persons gathered
in knots to discuss it.
Late in the afternoon a crowd, not
a large one, went to the jail and
made a demand for the negro. The
doors were unlocked and the party |
was invited to enter, and did, but did
not find the object of their search,
who had been spirited away to prevent
trouble. There was great indignation
in town but not much excitement.
The negro is named Elisha
Harper, who is the. son of the Rev. T.
F. Harper, a respectable and well believed
preacher who lives in Helena.
Elisha Harper is about 25 years old.
When rrested and searched pictures
of white women were found in his
pockets apparently brought back with
him from overseas. The pictures were
not indecent.
Harper was brought to the State
penitentiary for safekeeping by Sheriff
Blease.

American Soldiers in Plain

Not to Bid.
Coblenz.?Sixly Germans from Cologne,
Berlin and other cities were arrested
here by army intelligence officers
in connection with an alleged
plot to defraud the government of
millions of marks by eliminating competition
at auctions of army supplies.
Intelligence officers said the alleged
fraud was accomplished through an
organization, most of whose members
now are under arrest, that kept competitors
from bidding at auctions
where salvaged army material was
sold. On some days the auction sales
amounted to fifteen and twenty million
marks, most of the material go
ing to men alleged to belong to the
organization in question.
American soldiers in plain clothes
sent, into the crowds at auction sales
according to the officers, repeatedly
were offered large sums of money not
to hid against members of the organization.
At night, it was said, members of
the organization held an "equalization
meeting" and material bought during
the day was reauctioncd to the members.
Material sold to members of the organiation,
wherever possible will not
be delivered.
