CITY WATER CONTAMINATED

Friday DR.. Hugh w. Mccain, city
physician issued a public notice to
the effect that our drinking water
was contaminated and advising all
to boil the water before using for
drinking purposes. Heretofore the
water has been good but the heavy
rains the first of the month, were
evidently the cause of carrying
sewerage matter into the water.
An analysis will be made of the
water every day or so until it again
becomes fit to drink, and thereafter
every month as has been the case
heretofore.
In the meantime better 60 to the
trouble of boiling your water--it may
save sickness, Doctors bills and
deaths. ...

discussion of the water moccasins.
There is popular belief that the
bite of the moccasin, if delivered un-
der water, is not dangerous. This be-
lief is the result of confusing with
the moccasin another snake of an
entirely different family.

The following opinion by Attorney
General Peoples in regard to the status
Of the South Carolina National Guard
and addressed to Governor Manning,
was given out in Columbia Tuesday:
Dear Sir: am in receipt of yours,
in which you say:
THE First, Second and Third regi-
ments infantry, n. G. S. c., were
disbanded on the 31st of March, 1915,
&C. o. I'D as each had fallen below
the required number of companies,
l2 companies being the number re-
quired by the war department. In
formation is requested as to the status
of the regimental officers. Should
these officers be mustered out Of ser
vice? This has long been the GUS
tom in this state and in the army
when a volunteer regiment is mus
tered out Of the service the officers
are mustered out too. But section
So, military code Of South Carolina,
seems to point otherwise. See also

chief ct al, respondents, 126 N. Y

Review of Controversy.
In answering your inquiry 1t is
proper that certain events relating
to the National Guard Of South Caro-
lima be referred to.
On January II, 1915, Gov. Blease
by his proclamation ordered that all
Of the militia Of the state Of South
Carolina, including the National
Guard as now enlisted, and all Of the
volunteer militia of the said state OF
South Carolina, be, and they are here
by, mustered out and disbanded."
On January IL, 1915, the adjutant
general asked this office to advise him
officially as to the legality Of the gov
ernors action in mastering out the
organized militia from service. In re-
sponse to this request for an opinion
under date Of January Is, 1915, af-
ter referring to the statutes relating
TO the militia, l advised the adjutant
general that from an examination of
- VIII tn
the law quoted, / am Of the opinion
that the organized militia Of South
Carolina has been legally disbanded
and mustered out" That was my
opinion at that time. Nothing has
been brought to my attention to
cause any change in my view then
expressed, nor have later investiga-
tions done so, so that I am Of the
same opinion still.
On January 20, 1915, meeting Of
certain officers Of the National Guard
was held in the city Of Columbia; at
that meeting, according to the printed
newspaper reports, "the main point
at issue was the legality Of the or
der of the former governor Gov.
Blease), disbanding the militia. Adj.
Gen. Moore was of the opinion that
the order was legal and held that
the best way to proceed now would
be to re-organize the militia. .
Gen. Moore declared that his position
as to the legality of the disbandment
order was backed up by the opinion Of
the assistant attorney general and J..
Fraser Lyon, former attorney gener-
al"

which provided "the purported ordel
of the 11th of January, 1915, known a!

| sued"
The adjutant general was reported
to have said at that time, in refer.
ence to the order of Gov Manning
Il think it is all right it meets witt
my hearty approval" The adjutan
general was further reported as hav'
ing said that he considered the ac'
tion Of the former governor Gov
Bleace) illegal"
1t will thus be seen that the mill.
tary department considered the order
of Gov. Blease legal on the Goth day
OF January and illegal on the 22nd day
of January / presume that the de-
partment is and has been acting upor
that assumption ever since the 22nt
day of January, and in so far as the
military department is concerned, the
National Guard is not and has not beer
dissolved and mustered out by the
proclamation and orders of Governor
| Blease.
Coming now to the orders of Gov
Manning, dated March 81, 1915, as
understand those orders, seven com
panies of infantry and one band were
| mustered out of service on account OF
general inefficiency; the regimenta
organization was disbanded and the
remaining companies were ordered tC
exist as separate companies until fur
ther orders; the regimental officers
were placed on an unassigned list
pending a statement of their prop
erty and financial accounts; the bri-
gade organization was disbanded and
Brig. Gen. Willie Jones was placed or
the retired list:
Reorganization Orders.
On the same date reorganization
orders were issued, providing for two
regiments of infantry and only desig-
mating the companies which will make
up the two regiments.
1t will be noted that the general
orders referred to do not disband OF
attempt to disband and muster out
any of the militia companies except
the seven companies and the band
specifically mentioned in the said or.
ders. The remaining companies are
still a part Of the organized militia
but the organization Of the infantry
is changed so that there are only two
regiments instead of three as ha6
been before that time. The force and
effect of these orders. in my opinion
was only to re-organiZe the remaining
militia and to provide for a re-arrange-
ment of the same consequence OF the
mastering out of certain companie:
for general efficiency.
This brings only reorganization
or re-arrangement or re-asSignment-
as you may be pleased. to term it-oi
the remaining companies of the mill
tia. am of the opinion that the officer:
of these regiments have not been re-
moved i'm accordance with law ant
tered out Of service except as is pro.
vided by statute so long as the militia
