Provision is also made in the COM
promise that with the approval of the
interstate commerce commission, one
half of one per cent of the earnings
may be given to the railroad respon-
rble for the earnings and used for
such unproductive improvements as
erection of terminals or elimination
Of grade crossings. Fifty per cent of
the earnings in excess of the six per
cent will go to the railroad producing
the excess return, while the other half
goes to a railroad contingent fund.- adj
ministered by the commission and used
for the purchase of rolling stock and
other equipment, to be rented to the
weaker roads, to whom loans from this
fund also may be made.
The bill, as compromised, further au-
thorizes the interstate commerce COM
mission to prescribe rates which will
yield revenue by which this fixed re-
turn may be guaranteed, and after the
termination of the period during which
this return is effective, the commission
is authorized to agree on the percent
age of return and fix rates accordingly,
in order to insure its continuation.
The conferees also agreed, with a
slight modification, on the Poindexter
long and short haul amendments.

opposed the senate ratemaking section.
In agreeing on labor provisions the
conferees struck out the clause of the

SUPPORT IS ASKED
FOR THE GUARD
Now Have Seven Companies-Money
Is Needed to Put Interest in
MOvement-Men Seem "Fed Up"

COLUMBIA, January 9.-The re-
organization Of the National Guard OF
South Carolina, which has amply
proved its worth in peace and war,
and moral and financial support to it,
is recommended and urged in the re-
port of w. w. Moore, the Adjutant
General, to the General Assembly.
Out of the allotment of one infan-
try regiment, two companies of coast
artillery and field hospital and en-
gineering units, seven companies of
infantry and considerably over the
minimum strength of sixty-five men
have been organized, according to the
report, which says in part:
Still there exists an undercurrent of
restlessness and disturbed atmosphere
which must not be underestimated,
and which will require the most care
full, tactful, cool judgment and discre-
tion to keep us from internal strife,
hence we must be prepared to meet
these emergencies should they develop
here, and in order that this may be
accomplished, preparedness must be
our watch word.
"The National Guard has proven its
worth so thoroughly and effectively
during the recent war that even those
who once denied the fact that it could
ever be made dependable fighting
force are willing to concede their er-
ror. /, therefore, strongly urge the
reorganization Of the guard as rapidly
as possible and full and complete
support thereof, morally and fnan-
cially, by all good law-abiding citizens
and especially the Legislative bodies,
whose duty it is to properly provide
for it's maintenance.
Must Have Armories.
81 also wish to invite the attention
of all concerned to the fact that in
order to procure the highest degree
of interest in important organization
there must be made suitable, perma-
nent homes for their use as armories.
and there is no better time than now
to make the beginning by appropri-
ating not less than $4,000 by the
State to be supplemented by the
county and town or city of an equal
amount, which should be ample to Sc
cure a substantial and commodious
neat and permanent building, giving
the first to the city and county who
will be first to match the States
award.
II also recommend that liberal ap-
preparation be made for the mainte-
nance and pay fthe Officers and en-
listed personnel, for the reason that
the great majority Of the citizens do
not perform the military duties which
the guardsmen are required to do, and

RICHMOND CONSTABLE SERVES
A HIGHLY IMPORTANT NOTICE
ON THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL

There may be some one in the
Hoosier State who is better known
than Ben. N. Crump, who lives at 221
s. w. Second ST., Richmond, but it is
safe to say that Mr.. Crump counts his
friends by the thousands.
For twenty-eight years a hard work
er in this city's welfare he is at present
performing the duties of constable
with headquarters on the second floor
OF a building at 9Th and Main St.
Mr.. Crump is a strong advocate of
Pepgen. now being introduced here by
Glenn Thistlethwaite, the druggist. In
relating his experience with Pepgen
Mr.. Crump says:
Some time ago I had the Grippe
and after had passed the acute
stages was in much rundown condi.

for l was not able to digest my food
as formerly.
"One day. in a conversation with a
well-known attorney, l happened to
remark that did not feel we'll. He
told me that Pepgen was a good tonic
and builder.
II tried Pepgen with splendid re-
suits. 1t soon righted my stomach
and in a short time regained former
strength. I consider it a medicine OF
exceptional value and one that every.
body should know about"
This highly important message from
Mr.. Crump has created a big interest
among Richmond citizens as is shown
by the scores who have already
fastened to obtain Pepgen in order to
take advantage of the opportunity this
medicine offers to regain strength
