Columbia, July 14.-Governor Blease
jaas granted permission to the Nation
al Guard troops of North Carolina,
Who will participate in the joint en-
campment at Augusta, during the
month of August, to pass through the
State of South Carolina en- route to
the scene of the encampment.
Governor Blease's letter to Governor
Craig, of North Carolina, is dated
July II, and is as follows:
July "A, 1914.
The Hon. Locke Craig, Governor,
Raleigh, n. C.-My Dear Governor
Craig: Your letter of July 13 received,
requesting permission for certain mill
tary forces of your State to pass
through this State upon toeir return
to North Carolina after the encamp-

In reply, I beg leave to call your
attention to article /. Section >, Mill
tary Code, which provides:
''No armed military force from an
other State, territory or district shall
be permitted to enter the State for
the purpose of doing military duty
therein without the permission o. the
governor"
1t seems that your troops will pass
through merely for encampment pur-
poses in another State, and not for the
purpose of doing military duty in this
State, and that the permission request

Here is an editorial from the Able
vile Medium which ought to strike
home il Charleston:
'Tn Newberry the present members
of the legislature have all announced
for reelection. NeWberry has one OF
tie strongest delegates of any coun-
ty in the State. 1t exercises more in
1uence in legislation t1an that OF
Spartanburg, though Spartanburg has
three times as many members of the
house as Newberry. 1t is more power
ful than the Charleston delegation
though Charleston has four time as
many representatives as Newberry.
There's a reason.
"Newberry's delegation consists of
Geo. S. Mower, Arthur Kibler and C.
T. Wyche. These are veteran legisla-
tors of marked ability.
when the counties of the State send
such men to Columbia to represent
them in the legislature, and keep them
there for long years, the county will
be we'll serveddand the State will pro-
fit.
"Abbeville county has men VINO are
the equal in ability cf any We trust
they will offer for the legislature, thus
giving the people the opportunity to
vote for them.
''There is at this time only one can
didate for the house in Abbeville
county. He is Of the type of which We
speak, Abbeville will honor itself in
electing him.
The Medium is mistaken as to its
figures. Charleston having only nine
seats in the house of representatives,
or three times the number to which
Newberry is entitled; but is it wrong
as to its deductions?
The next meeting of the general as
sembly will almost certainly be one Of
extraordinary activity. Is the metrop-
oils of the State content to go without
Leadership at time when leadership
of the right sort could achieve much
both for the city and State?
THE legislative lists are still open in
Charleston county. They will be open
until noon of the day preceding the
day on which the first county cam
paign meeting is held The rules Of
the partv, as adopted at the recent
May convention in Columbia, say so
in so many words. But it is evident
that the community Will wait IN vain
for men Of the type which is wanted
to come forward and volunteer their
services.
The only way to get such men is to
impress them. What is the matter
with the men of affairs in Charleston
that Trey are so/ Indifferent to what
is at stake in. this matter?

NOTES FOR $35O,GG0
SIGNED BIZ BLEASE
Eight Notes Become Due in January
of 1915-LOan Made at 3 IL
Per Cent.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Culmbia, July 1.-THE State or
South Carolina has borrowed $35O,OO0
at 3 1-2 per cent, through its finan-
cial committee to be used for the State
running expenses from this day until
the new taxes come in, January, 1919.
The loan which has been negotiated
by the State borrowing board, COM
posed of the governor, the State treas
urer and the comptroller general, was
obtained through the Palmetto Nation
al bank, of this city. At meetlng OF
the borrowing committee in the Office
OF the State treasurer yesterday morn
ing eight notes, aggregating s35O,OOO,
were signed by State Treasurer Garter,
and Comptroller General jones. The
third member of the board, Governor
Rlease, not being present, the notes
were returned to Mr.. J. P. Matthews,
cashier OF the Palmetto National bank,
bearing the signatures of the State
treasurer and comptroller general,
with a request to procure the COVER
nor's signature, and to place the
amount to the credit of the treasurer
OF the State of South Carolina. Presi-
dent Jones thereupon presented the
notes to the governor. The chief eX-
ecutive's signature having been affixed,
the notes have been placed to the
credit of the State.
Eight Notes.
In all eight notes have been signed
and deposited; two notes for $4,000
each, payable January 5, 1915; two
notes for $4,000 eacn and one for $25,-
900 payable January II, 1915, and two
notes for $4,000 each and one for So
900. payable January Is, 1915.
With the incoming State taxes as Sc
curity the State of South Carolina has
been compelled for almost forty years
to foat loan to meet running ex-
penses for six months of the year. The
legislative assemblies of 1910, 1911,
1912 and 1913, in an item of the gen
eral appropriation bill, have authoriz-
ed the State borrowing board, compos-.
ed OF as above stated, to negotiate this
loan. Friction between the COVER
nor and the other two members Of
the board, has made it an impossible
ity to float the loan as provided, with
out hitch in the negotiations. In
1913 the governor vetoed the item and
asked that he should not be appointed
a member of the board The item
was passed over his veto and the
money was secured. There was prac-
tically the same procedure in 1912.

Courtship BY Flowers.

In remote Alpine hamlets and VII

land. there still exist ancient and pref
ty customs Of proposing marriage by
the language Of flowers. II a maid
accepts a bouquet Of edelweiss from
man she at the same time accepts him
as her Hance. the idea being that the
man has risked his life to obtain the
flowers for the woman he loves. An
other method which exists In the can
ton Of Glarus Is for the young man TO
place a fowerpot containing single
rose and a note on the window sill of
the girls room when she Is absent
from home and wait-perhaps days
for a reply. If the maid takes the rose
the young man boldly enters the house
to arrange matters with her parents.
but If the rose Is allowed to fade away
the proposal is rejected without sin

tween the couple. Sometimes tickle

day or two for an answer, but what
