The First regiment Of Militia Of
the State will GO into camp at. Co
lumbla on the goth Of July, the Sec
Ond regiment will be camped at Green
Vile one week later and the Third
regiment will go to Anderson the first
week In August. The time and place
of encampment Of the cavalry regi-
ment has not yet been designated.
The Naval Reserves will not take part
in ths encampmcnt, the government
making other provisions for them.
This is the outcome Of the delibera-
tion Of the war college board , of the
State militia, II f2such designation is
aprOpos for the commission which
met in Columbia Wednesday. at
this meeting there were present Gov.
Heyward, Gen. Frost, Assistant
General Patrick, Gen. Willie jones,
Col. j. @. Boyd, Of Greenville, Col.
D.. 0. Herbert, Of Orangeburg, Col.
Henry Schachte, Of Charleston, and
Col. Sparkman, Of Georgetown, COM
marding the cavalry regiment.
Rock Hill, Camden, Sumter, Char
lesion, Anderson, Greenville and Co
lumbia submitted bids for the en-
campment Of all or Of part of the
troops. Each Of these places offered
in writing to furnish camp sites, drill
grounds, water, lights, fuel and free
transportation OF baggage. Camden
made an attractive offer of the polo
grounds, and may yet he selected as
the place for the cavalry regiment to
go into camp. It was decided tC
limit the number of each company to
| 60 men.
CENTRAL CAMP NEXT YEAR
a resolution was passed to the eff
feet that: ut is the sense Of This
committee that a central drill ground
be located and that the regiments be
ordered In turn to encamp at that
central drill ground"
1t was also decided to have seven
days cncampment on five days paw.
In fact the matter of finances worried
the committee no little. AS suggest
ed In The State the appropriation
would hardly hold out If the plans
then in view should have been carried
out, for the troops from the up coun-
try wanted to go to Charleston and
the troops from the coast wanted to &C
| to Anderson.
HIGH TIDE INTERPRETED.
But after investigation it was found
that the hour In the afternoon most
suited to drill work and to inspection
would find the beach at the Isle oi
Palms covered with water, and that
most attractive camp site was ruled
out, and the First regiment was or.
dered to Columbia instead, saving
the encampment fund several hun
dred dollars. The matter Of trans
portation worried the committee no
little, and the resolution practically
fixing Columbia AZ the place of en-.
campment for all Of the militia here.
after is regarded as the only solution
of the transportation problem.
