1t was stated here to-day that this
action while deeply regretted was
absolutely necessary after the War
Department became thoroughly con-
WINGED from the letters of Governor
Blease recently received indicating
that the South Carolina troops would
not be able, at least under present con-
ditions in that State, to measure up to
the governments standard About
$4,000 Is the amount that the State
appropriates for It's militia, it was said
here, and against this something like
100000 a year, all told, has been Soing
there for maintenance of the troops from
the government. Whether or not the
troops viii hereafter be kept up on the
$4,000 a year which the State gives
them, is A question which does not
concern the War Department officials.
but 1T is feared that this small amount
Will not be sufficient to materially
help.
Although War Department officials
to-day did not wish to be quoted on
the subject. 1t is quite plain that they
have been very much displeased with
since last March when he refused to
permit the South Carolina troops to
participate in the inauguration cere-
monies because he said he would not
allow them to march behind negro SOL
diers from other States.
Just what the South Carolina SEN
ators and Representatives will be able
to do about the matter is not yet
known. p. II. MEG.
