PART OF BOTH DIVISION WILL
DIsEMBARK At CHARLESTON
North Carolina Unit of Thirtieth
Sails-113th Field Artillery to
Land at Newport News
Will Be Paraded in
Raleigh.

Washington, March 10.-Depar-
ture for home of the 18th field ar
tillery, the Thirtieth division, was
reported today to the War Depart
ment. This is among the first units
of the Thirtieth to return. It was
comprised originally of the old first
North Carolina artillery and a part
of the fist North Carolina infantry.
The 18th field artillery will be
disembarked at Newport News, it was
learned officially. The regiment will
be transferred by train to Raleigh,
N. c., where it will be paraded, more
than 1000 of its members being
from North Carolina. 1t will then
be sent to Camp Jackson, S. c., for
rehabilitation.
1t is still the intention of the War
Department to disembark as large a
portion of the 9th division as can
be handled at Charleston, S. G., but,
it was said today, the facilities there
and at Camp Jackson have not been
completed.

PURE BRED POULTRY
What Clemson's Poultry Div
SIGN is Doing.

Clemson College. - improvements
are being constantly made in the poul-
try plant operated by the Division Of
Poultry Husbandry Of Clemson COL
lege. The main object in establishing
this plant was to enable the students
taking the poultry course at the Col
lege to study and handle typical spcci-
mems in the popular breeds Of poul-
try, and also to supply breeding stock
of high quality to the farmers of the
State and to others who wish to iin-
prove the breed Of chickens kept at
home.
The following breeds are represent
ed: Barred Plymc 18th Rocks, in which
both the cockerel-bred and pullet-brcd
lines of breeding are being carried OF
separately; Single Comb Rhode Island
Reds, White Wyandottes, Single Comb
Buff Orpingtons, Dark Cornish Undian
Game), Black Langshans and Single
Comb White Leghorns.
Every specimen in these breeding
pens has been personally selected, and
many State Champions, blue ribbon
winners, and fowls Of exceptional
merit can be found therein. For cX-
ample, the cock heading the first pen
Of Rhode Island Reds is a brother Of
the State Champion Male; the cock at
the head of the Barred Plymouth Rocl;
pen for producing exhibition cock
erels came from Judge Gosh in New
Jersey at large outlay; the dark
Cornish pen contains females that
were never beaten in the shows OF
South Carolina.
For four years Clemson College
bred the Tom Barron strain Of heavy
laying Single Comb White Leghorns.
The stock and eggs of this strain have
been distributed over the State and
the females are certainly heavy egg
producers. However, there is one OBJ
lection to this strain of White Leg
horns and that is their unftness for
exhibition purposes. Since every other
breed of poultry kept at the College
is of the highest quality the Tom Bar
ron White Leghorns with their big
combs, high tails and sometimes
brassy plumage looked entirely out OF
place.
This year breeding pen Of the best
exhibition strain Of Single Comb
White Leghorns has just been OBJ
tanned from the leading breeder of II
linois. The male won second at the
recent Chicago Show in class OF
over three hundred Leghorns, while
the females are of the same high
quality. AS many chicks as possible
will be reared from this pen so that
the flock of White Leghorns will be
built up to its former number.
While it is not the intention Of the
Division Of Poultry Fusbandry to
grow stock for sale or to sell eggs for
Matching, it frequently happens that
fine breeding and exhibition birds cam
be obtained and also few sittings OF
eggs from some Of these high class
breeding pens. That the farmers and
breeders Of the State are availing
themselves of this opportunity to OBJ
tain the best breeding stock and eggs
is shown by the fact that the demand
far exceeds the supply.
Further information can be obtain
ed from the Division Of Poultry Hus-
bandry, Extension Service, Clemson
College, S. c.

RIP VAN WINKLE
GUARD SALVAGED
Bucks Wait Two Months for Relief
That Hasn't Come Yet.

The following clipping was sent us
by S. F. Sherard, who is with the
American Expeditionery Forces IN
France, stating that he had seen the
two guards:
"Veteran heroes of the guard ros'
ter who know the satisfaction OF
challenging the last relief after a
two-on-and-four-off will appreciate
the feelings of Private William
Johnson and Herbert Spoerke, who
walked their post for just two months
waiting for a relief that never came
and were finally salvaged by de-
tachment of Pioneers.
Both men were casuals who had
been shot into the 23rd Infantry and
suffered it's troubles and triumphs
from St. Mihiel to the Argonne'
where they were finally put on guard
over excess baggage left behind when
the doughboys started on their VIC
torious drive through the woods. The
pair were posted in building near
the town of Exermont and ordered
to wait for the return of their outtlt.
But the outfit never returned-lt
kept on going-and Johnson ana
Spoerke stuck to their post while days
turned into weeks and weeks into
months. They saw troops going IN
and coming out along the road across
the hill, but they saw no relief. And
then, when the armistice was signed,
they saw no one at all.
For awhile they took turns hold
ing up passing trucks for spare ra-
ton, but it was long way to the
high road, and soon that ceased to
be a source Of supply. With one
man on guard the other foraged
brought back his trophies and divid
ed them with his pal.
Finally, on December IA, detach-
ment of the 805th Pioneers, found,
among the discarded packs, bedding
rolls and equipment, two lonely and
hairy doughboys quite ready to be
salvaged and turned over to the
cook and barber for external and in
ternal repairs.
They are now recuperating and
rubbing smooth chins."

of the work that those appointed
will get together and arrange the
territory for each to canvass and
that this will be done at once. It is
understood that where a tenant will
not agree to not plant over IL acres
to the plow that the agreement as to
the landowner accepting two-thirds
of his rent in cotton will not hold
good, It is expected, however, that
both landowner and tenant will sign
the pledge. 1t is desired that all
farmers, white and colored, sign the
agreement. Chairman Stark desires
the committees to "get busy" at once
get the pledges signed and returned
to him.
The following is the pledge as
adopted:
State of South Carolina,
County of Abbeville.
No. Acres Planted in 1918---
Will plant in 1919 --------
I hereby pledge myself to plant not
over IL acres in cotton per plow, for
the year 1919, and also agree to ac-
cept from my renters two-thirds of
my rent in cotton and one-third of
the other crops raised by the tenants
on my farm, and also pledge myself
to raise foodstuffs for man and
beast sufficient to run the farm.
