BODY FOUND ON RAILWAY
TRACK.
Name "Y. Dawkins' Written on Na,nc
F1atc OF Coat Worn by Victim.

Rock Hill, Dec. 3.-The body of q
white man, apparently something
over 20 years of age, was found this
morning on Southern railway tracks
near Catawba Junction. The body
was horribly mangled, the head, both
rect and the right arm being severed.
Coroner McManus held an inquest
and. tho verdict was death resulted
from the man being struck by a rail-
way. train. A name, "Y. Dawkins,"
was written in the name plate of the
coat the mar was wearing, but no
other clue could be found. The de-
ceased met death either late Saturday
night or early Sunday morning.
The body was brought to Rock Hill
to be prepared for burial. Late this
afternoon a party said he believed the
body was hat of young Dawkins of
the Eando section of Chester county,
as the remains resembled a person by
that name. An investigation was at
once started and members of the fam
lily Of that. name have been notified
to view the body and ascertain If the
supposed identity is correct.

Famine Prices for Paper.

/ The Federal Trade Commission has
completed its investigation into the
present abnormal prices for paper
and Its cost of manufacture. No in
dustry is more seriously threatened
oy the extravagant rise in the prices
or raw materials than the printing
and publishing business. Periodicals.
otner than newspapers, for instance,
nus suddenly pay, in 1917, from rs
TO 100 per cent. more for their raw
material-paper-than in any year
Tor the last decade. The Trade Com
mission report in it's remarks on. the
mill costs of paper manufacture made
the striking statement that during
the first half of 1916. when the prices
OF paper to the consumer were soar.
ing, the cost Of producing the paper
was actually less than it had been at
any time during the preceding three
years. This remarkable finding in
the face Of claims by the manufaa-
turers that the prices of their raw
materials had risen extravagantly. is
explained simply and finally by the
following facts: The ingredients for
which the mill had to pay higher
prices made up only a small percen.
tage q the aggregate cost factors;
and that disadvantage was more than
swept away by the great cost reduc.
lions resulting from operating. the
mills. t~wenty-fOur hours a day six
days in the week, with every pound
of, paper sold without effort or ex-
;pense to clamoring buyers. In spite
OF this fortunate situation of, the pa
per makers, buyers of news-print nor
protected by contract ARRANGEMENTS
have had to pay as high is six and
even seven cents a pound for paper
that would have cost them under
like conditions in 1914 less than
three cents. The Trade Commission
finds that the 1915 mill cost of pro-
ducing this news-print paper is about

Washington Thinks Attempt to Have
Militia as Main Defense Support
Unsuccessful.

Washington. Dec. 3.-It is estimat-
ed by war department officials that
not less than 500, 600 members of the
National Guard in the different States
are affected by the orders of the de-
partment, the last day on which they
could express their choice between
leaving the service and taking the
new form Of dual oath which binds
them to serve this government in any
land here or elsewhere, should the
need for their presence exist.
How heavy this loss will be from
r~efusals to take the new oath, de-
partment officials would, not say to-
day. 1t is realized, however, that a
great many members of the National
Guard will leave the service.
1t Is only those members of the
guard who were not called to the
border for patrol duty that are now
required to take the new oath under
the national defense act. Men in the
militia units now in service on the
border will be required to subscribe
to the oath, but they will have a full
month after leaving the border in
which to do So.
y Militiamen whose individual mem
bers do not wish to accept federal
service under the new law, but which.
6O daDirn IN rornoin ~ xha Cxo&1 -
vice, could, : of course. follow that
course but they would not, hereafter
participate in either federal funds or
equipment.
Opinion Of army. officers here is
that there is no doubt that the at
tempt to make the National Guard, as
q f~ederaiized militia. serve as a main
support in the national defense, has
failed; The, Hay army law contem-
plated an increase in the National
Guard OF 400, 900 men. Thus far re-
cruiting, in the guard has mexely
kept pace with losses for various rea-
sons. II the guard suffers severe
losses when the new oath is required.
as appears to be, probable. now, the
situation win be considerably worse
than before the Hay bill was passed.
Hereafter the National .Guardsmen'
must have IS periods. Of a.rmory ;dhriiiIit
