Clemson College. July 31.-Farmers
who expect to raise fall litters OF pigs
should plan TO SOW rape for grazing. III
sown about September 1st. 1t should
be ready for grazing In about 30
days. Rape does best on rich soil.
From four to five pounds OF seed will
be required per acre. Sowing In the
drill usually gives the best results.
especially N the land is not very rich.
The rows should be from Is to 80
inches wide. IL IN always best to
plant o. large enough area so that tho
hogs can be put first on one part and
then on the other. In this way one
part can be recuperatlng while the
stock are eating down the other. The
Gcorgn Experiment station estimates
the cost OF growing an acre of rape
AT from $500 to $500 per acre for
seed. planting. care. fertilizers. and
rent OF the land. while the crop wher
used for hog grazing was worth $780,
to t25.oo per acre.

HARVEY 10 COMMAND BRIGADE
District Of Columbia Regiment to
Grccnyille.

Washington, Aug. 2.-General
Mann. chief of the militia division of
the war department. today announced
that the Third Infantry, National
Guard of the District of Columbia, now
In Camp at Fort Myers. will be sent to
Camp SEWER at Greenvillc and bri-
gaded with the two regiments of in
fantry of the National Guard of South
Carolina. The First Separate Battalion
of the District National Guard, Gen.
eral Mann said. probably will con-
tinue for the present it's existing de,
tail Of guarding the water approaches
of tho national capital. including the
bridges across the Potomac and Ana.
costa Rivers.
The division at Greenville. original.
ly the Ninth Division. in addition to
the Third Infantry, District National
Guard. will consist Of troops of Ten
nessee and North and South Carolina
1t Is said.
An interesting feature of the new
orders to the Third District Infantr,
is the fact that 1t makes possible the
assignment Of Brigadier General Har.
vey. commanding the District Nation.
al Guard. to the command Of the bri.
gade at Greenville. of which it will
form part. General Mann declined
to comment on that feature of tho
matter. but admitted that Gen. Har-
vey was available for that command
and would not have to compete with
any officer of similar rank in the
South Carolina contingent complet.
ing the brigade.

HONOR TO DRAFTED MEN.



In certain quarters and in too many,
u misguided effort is making to draw
an invidious distinction between the
volunteer and the so-called conscript.
In some Of the nearby towns the local
authorities arc encouraging the local
newspapers to publish as a "roll Of
honor" the names of the young mon
who did not wait for the draft, but
entered the army or navy out of free
will. The description Is correct
enough in itsclf-the roll is indeed an
honorable one. That nobody will de-
NY. Its implication. however. that the
drafted men are somehow less deserv-
ing OF praise Is utterly wrong. and toe
energetic protest against that implica-
ton could not be offered. The advan-
tase. IL there were one. would he on
the side Of the "conscript" for every
practical argument Is against the
volunteer system as compared with q
fairly conducted sclective draft

a proclamation to the German army
and navy and German Colonial forces
II reads:
'"The third year Of the war has
come to an end. The number of our
adversaries has increased. but their
prospects Of victory have not improv-
ed. You crushed Rumania last year
The Russian empire once more trem-
bles under our strokes.
Both countries sacrificed them
selves for the interests Of others and
now are bleeding to death. In Mace
donia you forcibly withstood the enc
my's assaults. In mighty battles on
the western front you remain the mas
ters Of the situation. Your lines arc
firm. protecting your beloved homo
against the terrors and devastations
of war.
THE navy has achieved good re.
suits. 1t has threatened the enemies
command Of the sea and his very en-
istence. Far from homo a little Ger
man group is defending German
colony against forces many times SUI
perior.
Victory In the coming year will
again be on our side and on that OF
our allies. Ours will be the final VIC
tory.
with deeply moved heart 1
thank you In my own name and lin
that of the Fatherland for what you
have achieved in this last year of the
war. With veneration we remember
the fallen who gave up their lives for
the ,greatness and the safety of the
Fatherland.
Tho war goes on. 1t is still being
forced upon us, we shall fight for our
existence In the future with firm reso-
luton and unfailing courage. AS prob
lens multiply. so does our strength
increase. We are invincible. We shall
tie victorious. The Lord God will be
with us.

4srQle4 -Discrcpancy Of Ss,soO.

Camden. Aug. "A shortage
smoununs to s9.sso.5o has been dis
cevered In tho accounts of w. w.
Huckabse. former sheriff of Kershaw
County who died some months ago.
Il 4. scarson. representing the comp
trolicr generals Office, made O thor
ovgh audit OF the books of the sher-
ms ONCE shortly after Mr.. Hucka-
ess's death and Il discovered that
he shortage extended practically the
sntire time he was In olIlce. the prin-
o1psl items involved being tax execu-
tions.
Each Of tina bondsmen has been
notined that there Is a shortage. which
they have been formally notified TO
make good. There being three differ
snt sets Of bondsmen this demand was
refused on tho b. ounds that the mon
whe were on the bond from February
!. 1917. to tho date OF the sherifrs
eseth were responsible for only that
per1 OF tho shortage which occurred
s<<er that date. The refusal of the
lagt bondsrnen makes Il necessary to
determine mt what time or times the
u0ortags> occurred and the matter was
turned over to tho attorney generals
once to determine the amount that
each sct OF bondsmen are liable for.
A soon a. this Is done demand will
b made upon all the bondsmen for
the full amount of the shortage. di-
vided. as II occurred. into three diff
fSrent periods.
This probably will cause an inter-
esting kcgal battle. 1t Is said that all
the bondsraen have employed attor-
ncys to fcht the case. the first two
sets OF bondsmen claiming that as
they zhad bccn discharged from all
Inability the burden rests upon the last
sct os bondsmcn and they of course
claiming that they car not be held
for that part Of tho shortage which oc-
Cured before they became liable.
Many friends of the dead sheriff
and those who were not his friends
politically express themselves as hav-
ms the utmost confidence In his in
tegrity and can not believe that no
was solely responsible for tho short
ere.
The following Is a list of the bonds
men who have been served with no.

From October 15. 1919. the Gulf &
