The Drill Revived An Assured
Fact.


In accordance with THE CLARIoN's sug-
gestion, in last issue, the State Drill Asso-
citation was rsorgauized on Saturday last,
and he announcement was at once teie-
graphed to the press and to the military
companies that had entered for the elegant
prizes offered by our citizens, and sufii-
Gent number Of companies have responded
to insure ccreditable display and lively
competition. The gentlemen composing
the new Association are: DR.. S. 5. Garter,
VI. Green, Paul H. Woaorl, DR.. |, b. Rem
bert. A. l.. Brunson, c. G. Johnston, Victor
8irringer. They have gone earnestly to
work. aud will have everything in com
plete readiness. The subscribers to the
prize fund have all been seen, and they
have not only ratified their subscriptions,
but some have Increased their contribu-
tons. and several have subscribed who
were not on the original list. This iusures
the prompt payment OF the awards. The
gentlemen composing the Association will
b. well satisfied if the receipts are equ Il
to the expenses, but all interested may
rest assured that every obligation incurred
will be promptly met.
The encampment feature has been aban-
doned, for the very good reason stated by
the rigiaal As pciation but that is in no
manner essential to the drill. The visit.
log companies will be comfortably housed
10 good quarters. The Capital Light
Guards will vacate their armory, and the
tate Federal court rooms in the City Hall
will be fitted up for the occasion. The

ridian Guards, Crystal Springs Vi
dettes, and Capital Light Guards have

Civil Service Rules-Ex Confederates
Need Not Apply.

Correspondent n. O. Pieayune.l
The new civil service rules intended
to secure preference in the appointments
to persons disabled in the military or
naval service of the United States.
which have just been promulgated, read
very strangely.
Ii is hard to see under the application
of these rules how any of the people OF
he South would be appointed to any of
the positions embraced in the civil ser
vice classification.
There are certainly enough disabled
soldiers, or persons who would claim to
be disabled, to occupy the whole 1900
appointments embraced in the classified
tions, and, according TO these rules, all
of them who are on the list of eligibles
are to be certified for appointment in
preference to anybody else.
In the meantime no ex Confederate
soldier need apply, for the rules exclude
all persons over 45 years of age. The
practical working of the system may
perhaps turn out little better :han the
wording of the changed rule would indi
