MORE TROOPS NEEDED.


Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANILA, June 12-''More soldiers" is the
demand which is coming to General Mac
Arthur from every department of the
islands. Recent events have worked to
vindicate General Lawton's judgment that
100000 troops would be needed to establish
American sovereignty over the Philippines
Until they attempted to hold provinces of
two or three hundred thousand hostile
people with regiment or two the Amer
lean commanders hardly realized the size of
the Philippine islands. The present force
is not large enough to garrison more than
half the important towns. and in some of
the most important islands, among them
Cebu. Panay, Samar, Leyte and the great
Mohammedan empire of Mindanao, only
the commercial ports are occupied.

CHICAGO, July 15.-In response TO invi-
tations from the Chicago packers inter-
ested in Germany's attitude of alleged hos
tility TO American slaughter house products
DR.. Voltaire Viewer, recently appointed
German consul in this city. will begin to-
morrow an extensive tour of investigation
into the meat packing methods prevailing
at several of the largest plants in the

part of the consul. but the government of
the Kaiser is expected to become directly
concerned at distant date i'm a move
ment for which the tour of Consul Viewer
is intended TO pave the way. This move
ment is to have for its chief object the de-

work in the stockyards at the plants from
which any packing house products are TO
be sent to the German markets.

Battalion Ordered to Manila.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July ia War De-
partment order has been received at Fort
Smelling for the battalion of the Eighth
Infantry now stationed there to rejoin the
regiment and proceed to the Philippines
with the second battalion, now en- route
home from Cuba.
In this order the War Department gives
out a new policy with regard to foreign
service. 1t says: Department battalions
and squadrons having had a year at home
will at the earliest practicable moment
be relieved and ordered to duty with their
regiments. when in it's turn the next bat
talon or squadron will return to the home
station, bringing in each instance the men
from the regiment having less than six
months to serve, excepting those who have
declared their intention to re-enlst."
The men of the returning battalions of
the Eighth having less than six months
to serve will remain at the fort and enough
of the regiment to fill two battalions will
be picked out to go to the Philippines or
hina.
Major McCammon, in charge of the re-
cruiting Office, is having difficulty in Sc
curing recruits. chiefly because he cannot
promise them service in China.

Built.
Eight years ago, says the Columbia
State, Mr.. James Il. Harris, OF Lsureps
County, bought the property upon
which was located the lithis spring
that has since become famous as the
health giving mineral spring OF the
country. AT that time Mr.. Harris had
no money. he a ascertained that
the analysis OF the water showed more
litbia than any other known spring, so
he bought the place covering some
three hundred acres. Mr.. Harris
bought the place on credit, and at once
began to develop IT and advertise it.
he has succeeded 80 well hat for msny
summers past people have come from
all parts OF the country to drink the
water, whose health-giving properties
nave been demonstrated over and over
again. Many who have been to the
springs have time and again told Mr..
Harris that he had one OF the most
valuable pieces OF properties in the
State OF south Carolina, II not In the
country. The water Ia known all over
the country today and is in great de-
mand.
1t will therefore surprise no one to
know that the property is soon to he
developed on a most extensive scale.
For some time negotiations have peer
in progress between MIR. Harris and q
syndicate composed OF Eastern and
Augusta, Ca, capitalists. An option
on the property was given some time
ago anu q story was started that the
property had been sold to the syndicate.
In the past few days, however, the sale
has been effected, and a company Ia at
once to be formed with q capital stock
OF SOB 600, which will be Increased
shortly to 1850, 600. Mr.. Harris gets
SlO2, 500 for L.s valuable property-Only
the land upon which is situated the
spring and the buildings. The company
proposes to take hold of the property
as soon as possible and will erect q
splendid summer and winter or all.the,
year round hotel Upon the beautiful
knoll just In the zeal Of the presep,
hotel. Mr.. Harris will own a nice slice
OF the stock in the company that has
purchased the springs.
Mr.. Harris is u remarkable man and
ls q hustler OF no near ability. 1t Is
rare hat a man can take such q prop.

1t as be has In a few years done in thit
case. He has the capacity for develop
Ing enterprises and in this case has
shown 1t. Mr.. Harris has made the
lithia water pay for the erection of the

at the springs and has accomplished
what seemed to be simply impossible

that the Charleston and Western Car

supplied, at opening of the season, with
postal cards addressed to Headquarters,
and will be requested to write on the
back OF these cards every Saturday
night the number of bales sinned tia,
week and drop the cards INTO the post
office. No bale of cotton can be mar
kctcd before it passes through the hands
OF the ginner, and in this way, will be
ascertained the weekly movement of
the crop, and about December first we
Will know almost to a bale, the amount
OF cotton raised throughout the cotton
belt during the season. Under exist
ing conditions, this fact is never ascer-
tanned till the following September.
After having asccrtained, through
local secretaries and ginncrs early in
the season, the probable size of the
crop, 1t is proposed To go further and
establish II fair price OH the staple de-
liycrcd at the ports. This can be done
by finding the amount of American
cotton required for consumption during
ton goods are offered for sale by the
the manufacturers. And knowing the
size OF the crop to be offered for
sale, when these facts are asccrtaincd
it will be necessary to introduce a sys-
TEN of regulating the supply to meet
the demands of cotton mills. This
cannot be done by forcing the crop on
the market and closing it out to the
buyers during the first three months of
the fall. Any farmer wishing to hold
his cotton, can place it in his local
warehouse, and use the warehouse re-
ccipt for same as collateral security
with which to borrow money from
bank to pay his maturing obligations.
The association is not in any way con
nectcd with any bonded warehouse
scheme, nor will it undertake to re-
gulatc the price of storage and insur,
ancc on the part of our local ware
housemcn. The association will not
force any of its members to hold, but
each member will have the right tc
dispose of bis cotton as his best judg,
ment will dictate.
Every member will be kept weekly
posted in regard to all Information
obtained through the operations Of tho
association.

A NEW CURE For INSOMNIA
Many people complain that they can
not sleep well at night. Some of them
cigars or torment their stomachs at sup
per, ETC., etc. But there is hope for all
the sleepless by a very simple device.
Victor Smith says, in the New York
Press
81 suppose all of us urc suffering
from the invasion of electricity. NY
old friend Bounce, who was q victim
of insomnia for 40 years, thinks he
sleeps now better than any other man
OF earth. He lost his way in the Adj
riondacks and stayed ovcr night in the
cabin of a forester. His sleep was the
sleep of a man just made perfect, ard
in the morning he found that he he'd
not moved half IN inch all night. 8 It's
the insulation,' the forester insisted.
6 You city folk are KILN yourselves
with contact. If you'll break the con-
tact you'll be able to sleep and get your
nerves back This matter of contact
was finally explained to mean that our
bed posts are in contact with the floors,
the floors with the walls and the walls
with Mother Earth, sc that whatever
personal magnetism a man has in him
goes away in the night time, leaving
Inn like a log on his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insula-
tors from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts of his
guest bed, so that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce, the very day
he got home, insulated his bed, and
from that moment to the present his
insomnia has been banishcd."
