Guard at Columbia this summer.
A bill is new pending in congress
calling tor an appropriation Of a mill
lion dollars for summer encamp-
ments. three hundred thousand of
which is to be used for the artillery
branch and the remainder for other
departments. If this bill becomes an
act, and it is believed here by those
who have recently visited Washing
ION that 1t will pass, the low-cnurtry
Third Regiment will probably again
be sent to Fort Moultrie for coast de-
tense practice, while an up-country
regiment. probably the First from:
the Piedmont section, will be sent to
Fort Moultrie also as support" to
the more experienced Third regiment,
1t being the desire both of the autho-
rites at Washington and Adjutant
General Boyd to give the mountain
soldiers experience in coast defense
work.
There is to be another big military
encampmcnt at Chattanooga this
summer, and II the appropriation
mentioned Is made, the Second regi-
ment from the middle and lower part
OF the State will be sent there. IT.
