Will go on just as they have been as

when seen concerning the matter. In
fact, they seemed to be of the opinion
tnat When the new governor comes
In not only will the Blease order be
rescinded but that South Carolina will
take her former position in military
standing with other States and as
sumo the same status before the con.
troVersy Of year or two ago broke
relations with the war department.
At the present time the situation is
best stated in the following telegram
sent by Senator Tillman to q South
Carolina paper today:
Members Of the South Carolina
delegation have received various tcle-
grams from different officers in the
militia about Gov. Bleasc's remarka-
BILE order disbanding the South Car
olina militia. Consultation with the
secretary of war leads me to advise
that the militia do nothing but be
prepared to quell riots if any occur
as citizens under the orders of the
sheriff. Everybody sit quiet in the
boat until Gov. Blease's term expires,
when Gov. Manning takes charge of
the situation"

sound business principles suggest that
he should do SO. In addressing the

worry of the labor question in gather
