One Of the most important moves
in recent years to prepare the national
militia for use in time Of war, Is pro-
posed in letters addressed by acting
Secretary Oliver to the governors of
all the states and territories, inviting
their cooperation in the war college
plans for the organization of the mill
tia into twelve tactical divisions. The
letters point out that If the militia is
to be used as a field force effectively in
war time it can only be done by this
system of divisions and that to insure
the proper working of the plan all of
the details should be worked out In
time of peace. In the outline of the
twelve divisions no place Is given to
separate companies of infantry, which
it is said should be absorbed into regi-
ments or other larger organizations.
Field armies would be formed by the
grouping of two or more divisions of
the militia or by combining one or two
divisions of militia with one of regular
troops. Regular organizations would
form the fourth brigade of any division
assigned to field army, for the reason
that the organized militia Is localized
while the regular army must go any
where upon call. Some money will be
available for the assistance of the state
authorities. The war department also
proposes to detail inspector-instruc-
tors to assist state officials and war
material for the militia will be distri-
buted and stored in suitable depots 10
be at hand locally when mobilization Is
ordered. Gen. oliver plans to have the
first four of the twelve tactical divi-
sions composed entirely Of regular
troops with the District of Columbia
militia assigned to duty as regulars.
The main divisions will be composed
of the following state militia organiza-
tions: Fffth-Headquarte at Boston;
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Sixth-Headquarte at AL
bany, New York; Seventh-Headquar
ters at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Eighth-Headquarte washington;
New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware. Vir-
ginia, West Virginia. Ninth-Head-
quarters at Atlanta; North Carolina,
South Carolina. Georgia and Florida.

THE PIG CLUB.

The original date for the awarding
| OF the prizes In the York County Pig
club contest was fixed for the first
Wednesday in December, being Decem-
| ber 4.
When 1t was arranged some weeks
ago that the Boys Corn club and the
Girls Canning clubs should hold their
meeting together in Yorkville on No
vember %, two of the three members
| OF the committee In charge of ar
rangements, the third member being
unavoidably absent, decided that mas
much as many Of the members Of the
Pig club are also members Of the Corn
| club, 1t would be just as well to ask the
Pig club to have a final settlement of
the Pig contest on the same day.
1t Is hoped that the members Of the
Pig club will weigh up their pigs in the
presence Of three disinterested wit
nesses before next Saturday and be In
position to hand in their records to the
judges on that day; but of course II
there Is any protest against this chang
ed arrangement, there can be no other
way for 1t than that he contest will go
over until the first Wednesday in De-
cember. and the question Of which
contestant has the heaviest hog will be
settled by weights taken within four
days previous to that date.
Inasmuch as there may be some
question as to whether prizes can
properly be awarded next Saturday, It
might be just as well for those who
had intended to bring their pigs to
town not to do so, as the hauling of the
animals might be prejudicial to the
taking on Of fat during the succeeding
ten days, in case the original date is
adhered to.
1t Is hoped, however that all the Pig
club contestants will comply with the
obvious convenience of the proposed
changed arrangement and have the
weights of the pigs on hand to be sub
mitted to the committee next Satur-
day.
According to the conditions original
ly announced, the pigs must be weigh
ed within four days of the time fixed
for the awarding of the prizes, and the
weighing may be done anytime before
next Saturday.

AS to whether that shooting affair
over in Anderson Saturday, would have
occurred if the grand jury had done its
duty in connection with the first

there is no telling. We do not know

warrant a conclusion; but as we see 1t
the thing is ugly all the way through.

Mr.. Bryan's suggestion that ex-
presidents be entitled to the floor oi
the house, with full privileges
does not appear to be unwise. AS has
been pointed out, the office Of presi-
dent puts the incumbent in touch
with much knowledge that cannot be
otherwise acquired and which can be
used to the benefit of the people
The dignity Of the position would
carry much weight and there would
be but the smallest danger of disloyal-
ty to the people.

Dandruff and Every Form OF Scalp
Disease Cured Quick by Zemo.
It Is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruff. You rub a little
Of 1t in with tips Of the fingers. II
gets right down into the glands, stim-
ulates them, stops the itch, and makes
the head feel fine. No. 1t isn't sticky!
Zemo Is a fine, clear, vanishing liquid.
You don't have to even wash your
hands after using Zemo. And what q
wonder 1t is for eczema, rash, pimples
and all skin Affections. A 25-cent trial
bottle at York Drug is guaranteed to
stop any skin irritation.
Zemo is prepared by e. w. Rose Med
icine Co., st. Louis, Mo-, and is regu-
larly sold by druggists at 81 a bottle.
But to prove what 1t will do at trifling
expense. Zemo is now put up In 26
cent trial bottles.
