Confronted With Problem.

I'VE are confronted with the prob=
lem of reducing our commissioned
personnel from the number adequate
to command $4,000 troops to a COM
missioned staff only large enough for
a command of $1,000 troops" said
Gen. Barnett, commander of the Ma
rine Corps today. I'm selecting the
men to be continued in the permanent
service the board gave first consid-
GRAFTON to the length of service. All
of the officers have proved their
ability to hold their temporary rank,
but the close of the war has made a
great reduction necessary"
The board which recommended the
reductions is headed by Col. ]. H. Rus
sell of the Marine Corps, the other Off
GERS being Col. William B. Lenly, Col
Robert II. Dunlap, Lieut. Col. Frank E.
Evans, Maj. Fred D. Kilgpre, Maj. Alex
ander M. Watson and Maj. William F.
Bevan. In addition to the officers to be
reduced or discharged 176 warrant Off
GERS are to be reduced to non-commis-
stoned officers.

JACK ALExANRER's CONDITION
Is Very Serious--Is Suffering from
an Attack OF Meningitis.


der, the 16-year-old son of Sheriff
and Mrs. w. NJ. Alexander, will be
sorry indeed to learn Of his serious
condition here Mt the home Of his
parents. Young Alexander was taken
suddenly i'll at the home Of j. Duff
McMahan In the Richland section last
Friday afternoon,an he was brought
,, home, still unconscious, on Sunday
afternoon. He is suffering from an
attack Of meningitis, and physicians
say that, while his condition is SER
ious, unless there is some unlocked.
for complication or marked change
for the worse within the next few
days, he has a good chance to re-
cover.
Jack had been feeling bad for a
few days, but nothing was thought OF
his indisposition, as he kept going
and complained but little. Wednes-
day last the county constables and
Federal revenue officers were making
ready to go into the country for the
purpose Of raiding some stills that
they were looking for, and Jack re-
puested that he be permitted to go
with them and drive their automo-
bile, and he was given the privilege.
He was out with the officers continu-
ously until Friday morning, when
the party returned to Walhalla. He
was still feeling unwell, but appar-
emily no worse than when he left on
Wednesday morning. Early in the
afternoon he decided that he would
go down to the home of his relative,
j. Duff McMahan, and spend a while
there. 1t was not long after reaching
the McMahan home that he was
taken very i'll, and within a few hours
his condition was such as to be re-
garded very serious. Physicians We're
|sss aaie has sstnos abee.fa 81
the constant care Of one or more Of
them. 1t was not long after the ply
sicians had been called that his trou-
bic was diagnosed as meningitis.
Owing to the fact that the young
man had been out in the company Of
the revenue officers on their raids
the report gained currency that Jack
had drunk lot Of liquor and was
poisoned. The officers state positive
ly, however, that this rumor is totally
without foundations; that when they
noted that the boy was seemingly
feeling worse they tried to get him
to return home in the car and have
it sent back for them, but he refused,
saying that he thought he would be
all right soon. 1t was then suggested
that he take small drink Of whis-
key as a stimulant, but Jack refused
this, and later in the afternoon, at a
farm house, an egg was secured and
an egg-nog made for him, and this
he took, this being all the whiskey
he had on the trip. There Is said to
be absolutely no foundation for the
rumors as to whiskey poisoning.
Jack Is fine young fellow, and his
serious condition is greatly deplored
by many new-made friends in and
around Walhalla. He has but re-
Gently been honorably discharged
from army service, though he Is now
but 16 years Of age. We hone that
he may soon be restored to his usual
robust health.

Condition Improved.

Inquiry at the Alexander home this
morning brings the good news that Jack
rested we'll last night. DR. Hnynie, of
Bolton, recently returned from over
seas service, is with the patient and
considers indication for recovery more
favorable, though Jack is still far from
out of danger.
