Thus far it appears that Uncle Joe

going to have even Democratic opposi'
ton. Like it's neighbor, the Tenth dis
trict, the Eighth has not sent a Demo

The Republicans of Allegan county
paid G. J. Diekema fine compliment
at their last convention by the adoption
of the following resolution:
I'VE wish unanimously to commend
the candidacy of Hon. q. ]. Diekema
for governor. We have intimately
known him as man and citizen, as
legislator and administrator ever since
his entry into business and public life.
We have yet to learn of anything to
his discredit, either publicly or private
ly, but we have come to admire him
tor his abilities in practical affairs, his
activities in behalf of all social better
ments and his consistent, thorough and
capable career in matters of public
concern. We therefore pledge him our
support in the primary and commend
him to the whole state as a man broad
enough, capable enough, and with
disposition to give such an admin
istration of the state govern nent as
will be at once credit to himself and
an advantage and a benefit to the
commonwealth.

yesterday signed an executive order
mastering out Of service Companies e
and K. Second infantry. located at Co.
lumbia and Elloree. The action of the
governor was upon the recommends
ton of the military council which
met in Columbia several days ago.
Said Gov. Manning: "It is a matter
of extreme regret that 1t becomes nee.
essary for me to issue the executive
order mastering out these two com
panies. I am deeply interested in tn
National Guard of South Carolina, az
am anxious that it be maintained .
the highest state of efficiency at 2,
times.
1T seems that the two comps :.
referred to have not been alb :
meet the requirements of the W, !.
partment. and the federal COVER t
has withdrawn its support. -.
I'm addition to this, the military
council Of South Carolina. after 60
ing over the Recommendations of the
war department, in their report to
me. recommended that these COM
panies be mustered out yof service
1t then became my duty to approve
this recommendation.
II deem it Of Importance that the
National Guard Of South Carolina be
maintained at all times at the very
highest state of efficiency, and this
action is in the interest only of ef-
ficiency in the National Guard"
The following executive order was
issued:
The military council of South Car
olina having recommended that Com
panies e and X, Second South Caro-
lima infantry, be mustered out Of the
service Of the State on account Of
their failure to comply with the re-
quirements for efficiency prescribed
by the war, department, and said
council having based their recommen-
dation upon the report OF the inspec-
fft2Erinstrs,ctn 4n ,ths. war- deg 9Rrtnent
and the letter from the CHIEF. division
Of militia affairs to the adjutant gem
erai Of South Carolina, dated April
1S, 1915. in which letter it is stated:
Companies e and K having been
on probation since the last annual in
spection, are not considered as having
shown sufficient improvement to war;
rant their retention in service, and
recognition thereof has been with
drawn by the war department dating
from April 18, 1876
1T appears to me that the recon-
mendation Of the military council is
warranted by the facts, and that the
best interests of the National Guard
Of this State make it necessary that
the companies above mentioned
should be disbanded. The adjutant
general of South Carolina will at once
issue the necessary orders for the
mastering out of these companies"
