Pennsylvania Railroad President to

Philadelphia, April 16.-Discarding

Railroad, is going to spend a vacation

est to another on an energetic ana

MAY ENcANP AT EXPOSITION.
State Encampment Can be Held at
Jamestown.

Columbia, April FIT seems
likely that instead Of holding the
usual State summer encampment OF
the militia at Columbia this year the
troops will be taken to Jamestown
for military experience. Adjutant
General Boyd is decided in favor Of
the Jamestown proposition, but he
said yesterday. that he would be un-
willing to spend more on the State
encampment, on account of the ex-
ira, efforts that will have to be put
forth to bring the troops up to the
requirements of the Dick law, this
year being the end of the five year
period and equipment being badly
needed all along the line. Of course
the wishes of the troops will count
largely in the decision, but from
what can be gathered the military
men are practically a unit in favor Of
going to Jamestown. Now it is esti-
mated that the cost Of a Jamestown
trip will be at least twice that Of en-
campment here in Columbia, but
from the way the military people are
figuring it if the men are required to
make up the difference out Of their
own pockets they will have to pay
only about SIS extra, which is rather
cheap for trip to Jamestown.
The last legislature appropriated
s15, 900 toward the militia for the
special purpose Of equipping it to
meet the requirements Of the Dick
law, and there is $4,000 left over Of
last years appropriations from vari-
Gus sources. This with about $4,000
expected from the federal government
will make total available Of about
$4,000. General Boyd says he viii
need every cent Of $4,000 to spend
on the militia in equipment and gene
raj expenses. This would leave about
$4,000 for the summer manoeuvers,
which is the usual amount spent on
enca mpnaents.
Now the Third regiment has been
ordered to coast service on Sullivan's
Island from July to Is, inclusive.
but the State is not called upon to
meet any of this expense, and the
men and officers of the Third general
ly seem to regard this as extra. Many
of them expect to go to Jamestown
also. This point has not yet been
passed upon by General Boyd.
