Under these circumstances pre-
siding Judge will have to be ap

NFWRERRY, $. g., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER y, 1908.
REPORT OF STATE MILITIA,
Four Calls For Riots During The Year
Suggestions For The Next En-
campment.
The State.

The State.
Gen. Frost has forwarded to the
war department his report OF the
militia of the State for the year 1903
up to the 1st of September. The
report deals with the riot calls, with
the encampment, and concludes with
recommendation as to future enoamp-
ments.
There were but four calls for the
services of troops to suppress riots, at
Monck's Corner on March 10th, at
Beaufort on April 22nd, at Chester on
May 4th, and at Norway on July 4th,
! in all of which cases the troops 70
sponded promptly and prevented trou-
BILE.
The account of the various enoamp
ments is then followed with detailed
report from Major P. j. Drew as to
number OF men attending and ex-
pense. The report shows thai the
First regiment had in camp 600 Off
GERS and mon; the Second regiment
612; the Third 545. All of these we're
conducted in a mJst creditable man
ner. The. enthusiasm over militia
service is due, he thinks, to the recent
Dick military law, which is consid
cred the best ever passed. He
recommends, however, that the appro-
priation for encampment purposes
will be doubled next year in order
that the mon might have two weeks
in concentrated camp.
Upon the matter of target prac.
tice The adjutant general suggests
that the government hold annual tro-
ply contests at Savannah or some
other good range for the southern
troops and he hopes to organize rifle
teams in this State soon. Target
practice has been neglected in South
Carolina.
In view of the fact that % drills
year are now required by the war
department and that each company
only gets about $3.50 from the State,
it is recommended that the govern.
ment pay each man 81 per drill with
$l fine for absence. This will ena-
bic the militia to obtain armories
which are badly needed. The sug-
gestion ls also made that the mini.
mum number of each company be
45 instead of G5, and that the
government hereafter provide trans
portation for cavalry horses.
The work of Capt. Leo Foster is
highly commanded and much good
was done the militia by his work.
The presence of company of regu-
lara at Anderson and Camden, under
Capt. Bennett, also served as model
to the men.
