FOR NEW GOVERNOR TO Eff
Feet; LATTER TAKES OATH
OF OFFICE ON JAN. 10.
(By Associated Press

Columbia. S. C., Jan. l2.-In
planning the reorganization of the
State militia which Governor Blease
disbandcd, Q number of officers asked
Secretary Garrison to defer action
until Blease leaves office Jan. 10.
The proclamation of the governor
mastering the troops out was signed
yesterday afternoon at . O'Clock and
copy was sent to the office Of the
secretary of State for ccrtitcation.
The adjutant generals Office late to .
day had not received notification of
the receipt of the order.
Governor Blease had explained his
action in the mastering out of the
militia by saying that the existence
of differences between the secretary
of war and the secretary of the navy
and Adjutant General Moore, on one
side. and himself on the other.
prompted him TO take this step.
These differences. said the chief
executive, resulted in serious
breaches of discipline in the militia
corps.
"The present governor of the State
of South Carolina is of the opinion
that it would be unfair and unjust
on his part to turn over to his sue {.
cessor in office the militia Of South
Carolina in it's present condition"
the order read.

any organization that all new blood

the name of the Lakeland Board of

appropriate, considering the objects

TO the members of the Lakeland
Board of Trade: Gentlemen-An-
other year has come and gone. An.
other milestone in our city's history
has been passed, and am sure 1t is
with pardonable pride that we con-
slider the important role our organi
zation has played in the wonderful
progress Lakeland has made during
1914. Few of us fully appreciate
to what extent an active Board Of
Trade such as ours Influences every
phase of any city or town, as well as
the country surrounding them. In
looking back over the results of the
past years work, | am sure that we
should not only feel well satisfied.
but highly gratified at the results
obtained by these efforts. and we
should be stimulated to ever greater
efforts for the coming year. The
progress of our Board since its re-
organization couple of years ago,
has been phenomenal, and such that
any city, of even much larger pop
ulation, might well be proud. This
has been accomplished only by per-
sistent, and constant hard work,
sometimes with discouragements
that seemed almost unsurmountable
But with determination born of
true men and patriotic citizens we
have pushed on and the results
speak for themselves do not be-
lieve that single citizen can be
found, in or near this community,
that would have the temerity to say
that the Lakeland Board of Trade
has not played very important
part in the wonderful growth and
progress our city has made during
the past two years. This need not
detract in the least from the part
played by any other organization or
citizen not affiliated with the Board
of Trade.
The truth becomes more apparent
every day that every business man.
and, in fact, every citizen who has
the welfare of our city at heart,
should become an active member of
the Board We need you, and you
need us. We thoroughly appreciate
every member we have. We appre :
ciate the fact that you hav signified
your interest in us and in Lakeland,
by afiliating with us. We appre J.
'ciate the financial aid which your
membership implies, but especially
do we appreciate those members who
oftentimes, at some sacrifice maybe.
have been present at our meetings.
and by their presence there, lent
more interest and enthusiasm to tine
meetings, as well as aiding with
their suggestions and advice. To
the retiring Board of Governors, We
owe a vote of thanks for their un-
tiring efforts to further the work OF
the Board, not a meeting having
been missed during the year, and
vast amount of business having
come before them for their attention
and disposal.
I would offer a suggestion that
our constitution be so amended that
