Manning Drops Two compnIes.

Gov. Manning signed an executive
order mastering out Of service Com
panies e and K, Second infantry, 10
Gated at Columbia and Elloree. The
action Of the governor was upon the
recommendation Of the military coun
Gil which met in Columbia several
days ago.
Said Gov. Manning: at is a matter
of extreme regret that it becomes ne
cessary for me to issue the executive
order mastering out these two com
panies. l am deeply interested in the
National Guard Of South Carolina, and
am anxious that it be maintained at
the highest state Of efficiency at all
times.
"It seems that the two companies
referred to have not been able to
meet the requirements of the war de-.
partment, and the federal government
has withdrawn it's support.
"In addition to this, the military
council Of South Carolina, after go.
ing over the recommendations OF the
war department, in their report to
me, recommended that these com.
panies be mustered out of 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 eff.
fciency in the National Guard"

Fire Losses Cut Down

Methodcal prevention is credited with the i'm
proved showing in fire losses made by the city of
New York in 1915the figures just compiled indicate
total loss of s5,757OS, s1O6 per capitalize lowest
record. In comparison with previous reports the
improvement is pronounced, the damages since
1907 have varied from s743l,6S5 to S2,47O,4OG, but
if the best statements from Europe taken the
standard for the United States, New York still fell
short last year. In the Netherlands, for example,
the fire loss is only per capita Obviously
American municipalities have much to learn in the
prevention of fire.
Immunity from fire is not to be gained by the
adoption of fireproof construction desirable the

New York is of the first American cities to

the Fire Prevention Bureau to put forth greater

Eek Gov. GIynn's Speech

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Sir: Elk Governor Martin II. Glynn,
temporary chairman of the demo-
St Louis, delivered an address the
reception of which by the delegates
was nothing less than astounding in
the Joyous cheering and hysteria
with which it was received. The
speaker himself, who gave evidence
of his sense of the difficulty of the
task of defending the weak and vacil
lating policy of the Wilson admins
tration, was no less dumfounded and
Gus enthusiasm with which his
speech was received than were the
non democrats who were present
In an attempt to show many pre-
cedcnts for the policies and actions
of the Wilson administration ex-Gov-
ernor Glynn uncovered the records OF
many ill-smelling historical events
wherein it was shown that the United
States government had repeatedly
submitted humbly to the most Of
fensive insults and to great injury
| and had refralned from go1nS 10 WdI.
| These delegates were democrats
first and Americans somewhere later
Their weak and flaccid Americanism,
| if it We're not entirely a negligible
uuantity, was trampled under foot.
They openly gloried in the recital Of
these pusillanimous events in Amer
lean history because in them they
found precedent for the acts OF the
| Wilson administration an eX post
facto reason for their faith. They
had the faith but they didn't know
WHY until Ex-Governor Glynn told
them.
Why did not these delegates hang
their heads in shame? But so fal
from feeling patriotic shame at the
recital of disgraceful historical events

That paper has adopted the course of spreading the

There is said to be a liquor joint somewhere
Broad street sufficiently advertised for the thirsty to
know where to find it. 1t is further said that the
proprietor this joint keeps his stock mainly at his
home in another part of the city. with only enough
at the joint to supply a days demand. 1t is also
averred that this plan is followed by other joint
keepers in other parts of the city.

THE NEGRO

TO the Editor of The Arizona Republi-
can:
Dear Sir-"The Worlds Work for
June carries an article by Ray Stan
nard Baker that l wish every real
friend and potential enemy of the
negro could read. In this article he
summarizes the causes and reasons for
the obvious feeling of unrest and dis
content among such large percentage
of negroes over the treatment accorded
them in this land of the free and
home of the brave
He also mentions the fact, to which
| have often alluded, to-wit: That 1t
is essentially to the white mans in
terest to treat every citizen who
dwells beneath our flag with equal and
exact Justice. And that this view of
approaching the solution of the negro
problem is being appreciated by lew

cations started with this purpose in
