South Carolina 5
Brigadier General.
Governor Asks President to
Appoint Major Darlington.

The State capitol looked like mill
tary headquarters indeed yesterday
morning. The Offices of the governor
and of the adjutant general were filed
with military men throughout the day
Nearly all of them were there to look
out for officers positions in the State
volunteer corps, and they had their
friends along to speak word to the
commander in chief for them. Never
in recent years have the military men
of the State shown such deep interest
in anything. The number of men
who are trying to get the best place
to be had in the service is remark
able. 1t was not known until after.
noon that the call would be for 1885,.
600 volunteers from the country at
large. This is taken to mean that the
State of South Carolina will be ex
pected TO furnish a brigade-three
| regiments, and the military men, who
had feared that only two regiments
would be allowed felt like cracking
their heels together.
When Gov. Ellerbe heard of it he
took the first important action since
hostilities have been commenced.
He at once sat down snd wired the
President of the United States the
following.
Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Executive
Mansion, Washington. DC.
l have the honor to recommend
Major Ernest A Darlington for briga.
dier genaxal of the South Carolina
volunteers Letter will follow.
VIM. 81. Eilerbe.
Governor of South Carolina
RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.
Governor Eilerbe had some time
ago made up his mind to ask the
President to appoint Major CARING
ton, o. S A., as brigadier general in
case he had the opportunity. Major
Darlington is at present assistant In
spector genral. U. S. A., with head
quarters at Washington He is Of a
distinguished South Carolina family
and has a military record that any
man may be proud of He was born
in Newberry county 45 years ego.
He got his appointment to the Uni
ted States Military ACADEMY while
he was ct college at Athens. Ga.
After his graduation he was at home
on furlough when the news came of
the killing of Custer. He at once re.
turned to duty and went to the front
as lieutenant in the Seventh caval-
ry He served with the greatest dis.
tinction in the battles in the west and
was wounded in the battle of Wound.
ed Knee. He was promoted for gall
antry, and when the time came to
send the Greeley relief expedition to
the Arctic regions, Major Darlington
volunteered and had charge of it.
ALI know the story. When he was
appointed by Secretary Lamont as
asslstant Inspector general OF the
army, the secretary made the state
ment that he was one of the..two men
in the military secvice who had never
asked for an appointment or Office of
any kind. That his recommendation
by Governor EIlerbe will meet with
the unanimous appreciation of the
people of the State is shown by the
many letters and personal requests
that Governor EIlerbe has had asking
that MAJOR Darlington be secured if
possible to command the troops from
the pround Palmetto State.-The
Sunday State.
