Troops From Each State Will be
Kept Together Wherever Possible

Military necessity will govern the
consolidation of national guard
units under the reorganization plans
of the army, although wherever it
is possible the troops from each
State will be kept together. Sec
retary Baker announced this policy
Monday in connection with protests,
articularly from members of the Mis-
souri, delegation in Congress, against
the consolidation Of Missouri and
Kansas troops in one regiment.
Commenting on the work done by
the railroads in connection with the
mobilization, Mr.. Baker said figures
now available show. that since early
in August, when large troop move
rnents began, the roads have trans
ported 100000 soldiers to various
points without any serious de-ange-
ment Of their regular passenge.

~
Newbern Dispatch, Sept. 20. l
Belated reports reaching this city
this afternoon told of the dynamitine
at Lowlands, Pamlico county, at an
early hour yesterday of the building
occupied by the postoffice, this be-
ing done by mob consisting of fifty
or seventy-five men who are opposed
to the selective draft law and who
have been doing everything within
their. power to evade it.
1t is said that the men who COM
posed the mob are disciples of Tom
Watson and that they have been
lead to believe that the draft law is
demonstrations by the Jeffersonian.
WatSon's. publication. w.
On the afternoon previous to the
dynamiting S. J. Clark, the post
master, heard open threats made
against his life by a crowd of men
who had gathered around his store
and-as soon as darkness fell he
made his escape from the building
and was not in it when the blast oc-
Cured.
Today the sheriff of Pamlico coun-
ty was to have gone to Lowlands to
arrest two members of the mob who
were recognized by the assistant
postmaster who was in the building
a short time before the explosion
occurred. The people of that sec
tion are considerably worked up ov-
er the affair and more trouble is
expected.

Some years ago a family Of fairly
gentle breeding found themselves fac
ing disaster. Their finances which
were never large. were swept away
and the father Of the family was in
5ured about the same time in q IRE.
He knew that hi. time was short and
he worried about those whom he
would leave unprovided for.
The 19-year-old daughter hAd .

stances and wished Ia, marry. her as
once ana give the famiiy home. The
girl did not really know her own mind
but she was not at all averse to the
successful young business man, and
the marriage took place by the bed
For q number Of years everything
went smoothly for. the young couple.
They built a nice home. furnished It.
and several children came to them.
In time the young wife's health be-
came impaired and she was sent at
considerable expense to the best sani-
tarium her husband could afford.
From there she went for several
months to a large city for special
to her own quiet, small town home,
It was with different aspirations and
critical eyes.
Her surroundings no longer quite
pleased her. she saw crudeties she
had not observed before. and ~ she
compared. her own antecedents With
those Of her husband, she felt de-
cidedly superior. It didn't seem quite
fair that her friends should think
that she was entirely satisfied with
her life an she found It. nor obliv1ous
to what might have been. So, oc-
casionally she made a laughing-in-
earnest apology when Ned" violated
some rule Of polite society or ex-
pressed a democratic opinion Of which
alone the laughing apology became
plain nagging.

Once in q while Ned was resentful

nervous condition and needed some-
thing to take up her mind, he on
couraged her to take UP q special
course Of study which she often ex-
pressed regret at having missed. The
breach wideped and she repeatedly
showed the poor taste Of deliberately
exhibiting how much she transcended
the rest Of the family. Instead Of
winning the admiration Of her friends,
they really pitied her for her vanity
and lack of sturdy loyalty.
