GUARDsNlEN BE FEDERALIzED.
All n. G. Troops Become Regulars
on August 9th.

Washington, July 9.--The last
step necessary to make the entire ma
tional guard available for duty in
France was taken to-day by Presi-
dent Wilson with the Issue Of proc
lamation drafting the State troops
into the army Of the United States on
August 9Th.
TO make certain that tho purpose
of the national defense act Is carried
out, the proclamation also specifically
declares the men drafted to be dis
charged from the old militia status
on that date. In that way the con-
stitntional restraint upon use of mi
litia outside the country is avoided
and the way paved for sending the
regiments to the European front.
Mobilization July rs and 70.
Prior to the application of the
draft regiments in the northern and
eastern section Of the country are
called into the Federal service as
national guardsmen In two incre-
ments, to be mobilized on July Is
%. Many units already are federal
lied and presumably they will be
mobiliZed with the other troops from
their States The guard from the
other States will be mobilized on the

arrangement was necessary to pro-
vide for movement Of the regiments
south to their concentration camps
without congestion and to the same
end the division Of States into these
increments was revised from the
original schedule.
The operative date Of the draft was
delayed until August 5th so that all
regiments can be taken into the army
simultaneously to avoid inequalities
in the relative rank Of officers
Fourteen camp sites for the six
teen tactical divisions into which the
guard will be organized for war pur-
poses have already been selected and
the militia bureau is preparing the
railway routing OF the troops to the
camps. Seven Of the sites selected
are in the southeastern department.
five in the southern and two in the
! western. The two others will be in
the southeastern department and un-
til they arc approved assignment OF
regiments to camps and divisions
cannot be fully worked out. The
only two divisions positively assign
ed are the Nineteenth. including the
California guard, which will go to
Linda Vista. Cal, and the Twentieth.
including Oregon. Washington and
other States in the Northwest. which
will go to PalO Alto. Cal.

TAKE HAND IN LIQUOR CASES.
Federal Government to Make Law
Effective Under New Statute.

Charleston, July 9.-That the Fed
cral courts Of this State will take IA
vigorous hand in enforcing the liquor
laws as set for,h in the United States
statute that went into effect on July
|, and which makes it Federal Of
Tense to bring liquor illegally into
prohibition territory. such as South
Carolina, even though it does not in
terfere with the quart-a-month act
was indicated to-day when a negro,
Joe Islam. was brought before Uni
ted States Commissioner Huger,
charged with violating the liquor
statute which recently went in effect
and bound him over for trial at the
Aiken term OF court in October. The
interesting part Of the case Is that
Islam, who was arrested by State
liquor cOnstables, has been taken
charge Of by the Federal authorities,
which indicates that the bulk of
smuggling liquor cases are going be-
fore Uncle Sam, which makes it
much more serious to violate the IL
quor importation law Of South Caro-
lima. since offending the State in this
particular means offending the Uni
ted States. All cases Of the sort are
reported to the Federal authorities
by the State officials and evidently
most OF the prosecutions will be made
by the United States. "The people
OF this State" declared a Federal Of
fetal to-day, had better take warn
ing, for the Federal liquor law will
be strictly enforced.' It is likely that
further arrests will grow out Of the
Islam case. The negro is said to

THE CHANCE OF a Lifetime,
Some Facts About the Service in Un.
Gle Sans Navy.

He who hesitates is lost. The
Navy got there first.
Every one knows Of the conditions
in Europe, where every man and boy
between the age of Is and 45 years is
serving his country either in the
army or navy; and that is just what
this country is coming to if this war
keeps up for any length Of time.
Now. why not get in the best organ
lied branch Of the service? There are
better chances for young men in the
navy to-day than there ever have
been in the history Of the navy.
Why not do it now? All men have
an opportunity Of learning the trade
Of seaman. a seaman's pay starts
at S32.G0 per month. Men having
trades enlist at pay varying from $41
per month to SIT. and advancement
is certain and rapid. All your pay is
clear: there are no strikes or lay
offs; you are taken care Of when you
are sick; your pay goes on just the
same If disabled, whether in time of
peace or war; You are given libe-
raj pension If you should lose your
life in the line Of duty, and your FAM
lily gets six months pay. At 16 years
service YOU can go in the reserves and
draw from $40 to $4S per month,
and if you should care to follow
some other occupation you could 90
so.
Up to the present time there were
very few openings for men with the
trade OF seamen after serving in the
navy. except on ships OF other ma
tions. But now the United States has
seen the mistake Of not having a
merchant marine. and at present
there are under construction many
ships to take up our overseas trade,
and they have to have men. Now,
will we have to import trained men
10 fill these positions, or will you
learn the trade in the navy without
cost TO yourself? The idea is to
look ahead, look into the future and
study it out for yourself.

THE SHORT COURSE WORK.

The instructors and pupils of the
Short Course for Girls will be with

and Walhalla is glad that these young
ladies will be the guests Of the town.
which will be theirs for the time be-
ing.
Arrangements have been cOmplet-
ed for the Short Course to be held at
the high school building, where there
will be ample room for the carrying
on OF the instruction and dem0nstra-
ton work both for the pupils Of the
course and for the public. Glass
rooms will be used in the demOnstra-
tions for those included among the
Short Course pupils. while in the au-
ditorium the public will be instruct
ed, identical methods and demonstra-
tions being carried out in both sec
tiOns. In this connection we are re-
qucstcd not only to extend an invita-
tion to the public to attend the dem
etc, but to urge attendance upon the
entire cCurscc. Those in charge Of
tho work are not only willing that the
public shall have this instruction
along with the pupils. but they are
exceedingly anxious that the infOr-
nation they will be in position to
impart shall be given as wide dissem-
inatiOn as possible. TO this end the
auditorium has been selected as the
place in which the public dcmonstra-
tiOnS will be made. and it Is hoped
that every interested person who can
attend will do so. Nor does this in
vitatiOn confinc itself to the people
Of Walhalla. This is Il county work
and the people OF the whole county
will be welcomed to the dcmonst ra-
tions and to all the work OF the three
days OF the course. or course it is
not supposed that the whole county
can attend, but those who come will

The program in full for the three
days course was printed in The Cou-
ricr last week. 1t is Il full one, and
there is in it much to instruct and
benefit. Our hope is that the great
est possible good that can be derived
from the course will be sought by
both the put Is and the public.
The first session will be held to-
morrow lThursday) morning begin
ming at 1890 o'clock. and the work
will be carried on as given in the
program through Friday and Satur-
