the form Of an old fashioned barbe-
cue. The regiment is now rolling
back to South Carolina ana Is expect
ed at Camp Moore early Wednesday
morning. Three, special trains are
being used and the trains are moving
over the Southern route
Arrangements are being made for
q BAG military review In Columbia
and II is expected that thousands of
South Carolinians will come to the
capital for this event. The troops will
pass In review before Gov. Manning
members Of his stan and other prom
inent men Of the State. Arrange
ments are also being made to bring
the men Of the regiment to Columbia
for the Thanksgiving Day game be-
tween the University of South Caro-
lima and the Citadel. The camp Is in
good condition for the return Of the
troops. The water supply has been
inspected and the pumps placed in
running condition. Mai. Frank w.
Glen. quartermaster. has placed an
order tor the supplies. 1t is expect
cd that about 10 days will be requir-
Cd to muster the men out. This
means that they will return to their
Aems stations early In December.
mo yYodiction can be made as TO
VIA ~ second regiment win be
I'M VIM ~ given conoiderl
'aeIe attstion BY the next general
esssmhiy. The appropriation is very
Susasre. w. w. Moore. adjutant gen.
erai. has made ne announcement as to
what recommendations ne will make.
However. 1t Is practically certain
that an appropriation will be asked to
build a permanent road between Co
iumbia hnd Camp Moore. The road
Is In Door condition. During the next
i've years South Cardinals National
Guard will be Increased to about 1900
men and officers. This means that
~ regiment will be- on encampment
r' every period during the summer.
The State owns the ground In Lexing-
ton and every effort will be made to
secure funds for it's lmproveme
The legislature can not escape. II
might as well walk right up and take
the bit. The suffrage leaders are
accused and they win present a de-
'ermined front at the next session.
The state Democratic convention last
MAJ passed the Buck and now IL Is
up to the general assembly. The
cause Of suffrage was presented to the
Democratb I'm convention and the 10y
al sons asked that the question be
Eiven careful consideration by the
next legislature. The cause of suf-
frage Is growing in South Carolina
as IL Is lon practically every other
State and the leaders In the move
ment will at least make the question
interesting for the new legislature.
Rural credits will be another ques-
ton to come before the new lcgisla-
ture. Gov. Manning appointed a
sps, i commission Immediately after
b last session to investigate the
matter Of run al credits and the re-
port on the question will be submit
ted In January. Gov. Manning viii,
have something to say In his annua,
message concerning this important
subject.
Commisst oner Watson has. returned
70 Columbia after attending a wool
growers conference In Philadelphia
He believes that the growing of sheen
In South Cnrolina offers a great OBJ
~portunity &C. the farmers who will
soon have to give up the growing OF
cotton ecaus of the coming OF the
o weevil. There Is much ready
money In the mutton and the wool and
the Piedmont Is a particularly fine
section for the industry.
