Israel of Buncombe county announces
that he has instructed men to begin

They state that a road scraper Will be

in the macadam will be filled in.
It is planned to have this work done
now and not to make any further ex-

HOME GUARD APPARENTLY
HERE TO LAST AWHILE.

Members CT the Henderson County
Home Guards, 3Sth Co., N. c.. r. NJ.
who have been wondering concern
ing the duration of their term Of ser
vice might just as well make up their
minds to attend drill and DO the
thing right for several years. Al
present no other organization of state
troops has been organized or is even
in process OF organization soSfar as
can be learned.
The reserve infantry is really tax
ing the place Of the national guard,
its duty being to render service in
this country and do local duty when
there is any cause. The infantry has
been originated to take over these du-
ties since the national guard was
federalized in 1917, when they were
taken to training camps preparatory
to going overseas. It is reUOrted that
dispatches from headquarters at Wash
ingtOn state now that as soon as a for
mer national Guardsman is mustered
out OF the service he is as free from
military duties as any other discharg-
ed soldier. IN truth, it is claimed
there is no more national guard. When
the national guardsmen were fedora
lied two years ago they became the
same as any soldier in the regular
army. Now, when they are liberated,
they come under the same orders.
This fact will necessitate the keep
ing of the reserve infantry through
out the country as a precautionary
measure until provision can be made
for the maintaining OF Some military
force to act as q Safeguard to the cit
les in case of emergency. It is legal
for the different states to organize
national guard divisions again just as
it was before the war, but Of what
they will be organized has not been
stated. 1t is probable that any man
who has seen service in the army will
not wish to join one command as sOO1
as he is discharged from another. II
will be necessary, therefore, TO form
national guard units from bodies of
men who have not seen service in this
war AS there are no such men ez-
cept those who were exempt from the
service in the past war and who IND
it still necessary to devote all their
time to other matters, it will be mex;
to impossible to form such units, it is
predicted.
Because OF these conditions it is be-
heved that it will be necessary to keep
the reserve infantry in existence for
several years. The infantry will pro-
badly have to remain in training for
a period of time long enough for
enough men who wish to join 20
reach the necessary age of enlistment. |

theory of the officers is that The two
students were killed first by some one
who lurked in the house and tina: /
turned home.
This theory is based upon several
facts. The first is that Ii went to the +,
house Wednesday and upon ringing
that Dr.. Wong was not at home.
another is that there were only two
discharged cartridges in the pistol,
whereas at least five shots were fred
