TO MEET AT COLUMBIA, S. {

Il can only speak for the sunny south,
but I say that there is no danger of the
arms of the south ever being raised In any
cause except for the honor and glory Of the
Union declared Gov. Glenn of North Car
DINA in an eloquent address which took the
members of the Interstate National Guard
Association by storm this morning in the
Arlington Hotel. The guardsmen cheered
again and again. 1t was probably the most
marked demonstration of spontaneous en-
thusiasm seen during the whole session of
the convention. The declaration came at
the close Of a forceful refutation of the ar
gument that great stores of arms, a!nmuni-
ton and other military equipment should
not be placed in state armories for fear that
they might be used in rebellion against the
general government Gov. Glenn referred to
the civil war and to the evidence afforded
In the Spansh-Amercan war of the healing
OF the wounds of internecine strife and Of
the demonstration of the existence of the
highest patriotism in every section Of a
united country
Speaking of legislation in behalf of the
National Guard, he said he had personally
been assured that 1t would receive the
heartiest support from the senators and rep
resentatives from North Carolina. The gov
ernor said he was heart and soul in favor
or everything tending to further the inter-
ests Of the National Guard:
revere every man who belongs to it,"
he said, whether he come from the north
or the south Of the Mason and Dixon line. -

before adjourning sine die was the choice of
Columbia, s. c., as the place for the next
annual convention. Chicago, ILL.,. and Co.
lumbia, 8. c., We're placed In nomination at
first, and many pleasant and humorous re-
marks were made In the discussion over the
relative inducements of these two cities.
AS the voting progressed it was seen that
the South Carolina city was an easy winner
and some merriment was occaSioned by the
announcement that South Cardinals seven
votes were cast for Chicago. Before the
final count motion was unanimously
