MAKES FAVORABLE REPORT.
Sergeant Lcverman of United States
Army Conducted school for Militia
Officers.

Sergeant Leverman of the Second
United States Infantry has been in
this city since Wednesday conducting
school for the commissioned and
non-commissioned officers of the sum
ter Light Infantry Sergeant Lever
man left Sumter Saturday night, but
before he left he showed members of
the local militia the report which he
would send on to headquarters at
Washington and his report was very
favorable TO the local company.
In compliance with orders from the
war department Mr.. Leverman has
been conducting these schools
throughout this State among the mill
tia companies, of whom much more
is required now than ever before in
the history Of the National Militia.
The school was conducted Wednes-
day and Thursday nights and Friday
night was continued at drill Of the
company in the Armory Hall. Much
good was accomplished among the
officers Of the local militia by the in
structions given by the United States
Army officers. which will no doubt be
OF benefit hereafter at inspections and
on encampment.
In his report Sergeant Leverman, it
Is understood, stated that he was very
much pleased with the manner in
which the armory and equipment was
kept, as 1t was more like conditions
in the United States regular army than
anywhere else he had been, and was
in better condition than at any other
places he had visited. He also stated
that the non-commissioned officers
showed more interest and capacity
for their work than he had noticed in
many other companies.
The Sun ter Light Infantry will be
given their annual inspection by Ad-
jutant and Inspector General w. w.
Moore and United States officer sent
out by the War Department for this
purpose on March 14th and the COM
pany is low getting ready for this oc-
CASTOR 50 they will put up a creditable
inspection.

While William Jennings Bryan. be-
lieyed TO be slated for secretary Of

not discuss probable cabinet appoint
ments while in Columbia last night.
he predicted that those selected by
President Wilson would give entire
satisfaction.
Mr. Bryan stopped here to deliver
an address at the theatre for the
benefit Of the Y. NJ. c. A. He was
on his way to Washington for the
inauguration after spending the win
ter in Florida
How long since you have been in
Washington" Mr.. Bryan was asked.
Il passed through there during
Christmas week." replied Mr.. Bryan
NO, I can not make any cabinet
predictions" he replied in answer TO
a question.
Il have no doubt" continued Mr..
Bryan, that Mr.. Wilson will an
nounce his complete cabinet at the
proper time, and l DO not care TO join
in the speculation INDUCED in by SO
many. The announcement by the
president that only prOgressives would
be selected relieves the situation off
uncertainty and gives assurance that
the counseilors will be in harmony
with progressive policies. That is all
that is really necessary.

The senate took up the appropri-
alton bill at 1.10 in the morning and
item after item was passed by large
majorities over the governors veto.
Those items sustained and the more
important ones on which discussions
were raised are as follows:
Item 3, section 3S, $5,341.45 for de-
ficit public printing for 1912 The
veto on this item was overriden by
vote of "a to s. Mr.. Clifton voted
to sustain the veto. Il believe there's
graft in it, he said. Il believe the
printers charge too much"
Item 4, section 3S, $1,000 for the
Corn Breeders association. The vote
on this item was sustained on a vote
Of p to 10
Item 6, section SO, $500 for phos-
phate commission. The veto of this
item was sustained by a vote of 21
to IA.
Item 20, section SO, $1,136.1S for
printing deficit for 1911. The veto of
this item was sustained by a vote of
Is to IL.
Senator Appelt thought that a stop
ought to be put to these printing de-
hcltls. Senator Clifton opposed the
payment Of the deficits until nroof of
them be furnished and moved to re-
consider the vote whereby the item
for the 1912 deficit was passed over
the governors veto. Attention was
called to the fact that statements with
reference to the deficit are filed in
the comptroller generals office. The
chair ruled that the reconsideration
was out of order. Senator Clifton ap-
pealed from the decision of the chair
and the chair was sustained.
Item 25, section 3S, $500 for the
Plant Breeders association. The veto
of this item was sustained by a vote
of Is to II.
Section 40, empowering the COVER
nor the State treasurer and the COMP
troller general to borrow money to
pay the interest on the State debt
The veto Of this section was overrid-
den by vote of % TO s.
Senator Clifton moved to sustain
the veto on the ground that the state
treasurer and the comptroller general
had requested him the other day to
amend the section to place the bor-
rowing in the hands of the chairman
of the finance committee Of the sem
ate and the chairman Of the ways and
means committee Of the house.
A dozen senators rose to protest
against this. 1t was pointed out that
If the governors veto would be sus-
tanned there would be no one to bor-
row money to pay the interest. Sena-
tor Sullivan said that the State treas
urer and comptroller general had
given bond to do their duty. Senator
Clifton said that no borrowing would

eral.
The bill as a whole was passed over
the veto by a vote Of 20 to 4. The SEN
ators voting to sustain the veto were:
Applet, Clifton, Gross and McLaurin.
Senator Clifton gave notice that
he would give his reasons in writing
for voting to sustain the veto of the
whole bill in view of the fact that the
chair ruled that the veto on the print
ing deficit for 1912 could not be re-
considered.
