BLEASE ORDERS
 TROOPS HOME
Governor of South Caro- lima, PeeVed Because Not Invited to Inauguration, Will Not Let Militia Go to Washington
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

COLUMBIA, Jan. 2O-After all ar engagements had been made for the battalion of the South Carolina troops to attend the inauguration of President elect Wilson. Governor Blease issued statement today saying he would not permit them to leave the state. He assigned several reasons, one was that he as com mander in- chief had not received an invitation and he would not let the troops go unless an invitation was extended him.
 As no formal invitation is extended and as no formal invitations have been given it is not likely that the South Carolina troops will partici- pate in the ceremonies. The militia men had paid in advance for the quarters they had intended to occupy in Washington.

volcanic action are visible. In the
center was plateau but you now
look down upon it as the vast chasm
Of the canyon. Thrice the volcanic
forces of nature operating on either
side, violently and with tremendous
power, forced this plateau upward
until finally in one cyclopic, tremen.

the Grand Canyon. the wonder and

area embracing a great portion OF the
interior Of the American continent

great sea. All over the canyon, fossil
oyster shells prove this contention.
The grand canyon opened, the waters
Of the inland sea rushed through in
a tearing floor and carved the fantas.

The questioner further inquired OF
Sir John: mo doubt this was all very
remote in the early ages of we world?
"Oh, no." said Sir John, Modern,
