The National Guard association
met in Columbia last Wednesday Tor
the purpose of considering the matter
Of re-organizing the militia recently
disbanded by order Of Governor Blease'
A resolution offered by Maj. w. b.
Moore Of Yorkville, was adopted ask
ing Governor Manning to rescind Coy
ernor Blease's disbanding order. BY
request Governor Manning appeared
before the association. He said ne
would do what he could to secure the
reorganization Of the militia; but he
was not sure as to what his powers
were and would require legal advice.
Gen. W. w. Moore said that he had
the opinion Of former Attorney Gener-
al Lyon that Governor Blease's order
was legal, and he thought that the
best thing to do was to proceed on that
basis. The result Of the days deliber-
atoms was to leave the whole matter
Of reorganization to Gen. Moore and
Governor Manning

LONDON Is CLOOMIEST
CITY ON EARTHLY AS
RESULT OF REVERSES

New York, Nov THE spirit of
optimism which formerly pervaded
among all classes in London has given
way to general note of disappolnnt-
ment and pessimisn. according to a
private letter received in this city
from the British capital today.
The writer describes London as one
OF the gioomiest and most depressing
spots on earth just at present. The
disputes among the cabinet members,
the apparent failure of the Darda-
nelles expedition. at the cost of many
lives. and the prospect OF the adoption
of consumption measures in the near
future have combined to produce Il
state OF mind which is anything but
Another factor Is the fear OF at
lacks from Zeppelins. The streets are
in utter darkness after 6 o'clock in
the evening and the population must
literally feel their way along the
fronts of the buildings, walking like
a blind man and colliding with every
other passerby.

thirty minutes OF each other three
large fires broke out IN Stanton las,
night. The first was the Nandeveer
and Hiner Distiilery. which was filled
with a stock of brandy. The build
ing was a total loss, the amount of
loss being about $1,000.
While the engines were still work
ing on this fire, smoke was found
issuing from the large department
Street.
This Is one CT the largest stores in
stanton and was full of new stock.
The fire burned from the first floor
down and up. The first two floors
were Quilted and their contents en-
tireIy destroyed The loss is estimated
at 1000 partially covered by insur-
ance.
While the firemen were fighting the
flames in the Woodward store. fire
was suddenly discovered in the rear Of
building just across the street oc-
cupied by the Tim Murphy
Company as a haberdashery. IL had
gained great headway and the force
divided and fought both fires, finally
extinguishing the Tim Murphy

ragged all night. and 1t was dawn be-
fore the weary firemen were able to
leave the scene.
The city is greatly excited, as II is
confidently thought that the three
fires are the result of an incendiary.

long and many householders stayed
up all night watching for signs OF a
blaze In their homes. Every EFFORT

loss Is about $3.50, 600. the insurance
