Adiutant General
Columbia, Aug. 1.-THE Office OF
the adjutant general will be in charge
of the mobilization of South Caro-
lina's quota to be furnished to the ma
tional army. South Carolina was an
exception among the states in regard
to the selection of its quota, the gov
ernor's Office assuming the duties Of
the adjutant generals afflce, and it
being necessary, in the printed reg
ulations, wherever 'adjutant general"
occurred to substitute the word "gov-
ernor." Now the governor has de-
volved the remainder of the duty up
on the adjutant general and upon his
shoulders rests the duty of seeing 10
it that South Carolina's contingent
gets to Camp Jackson by September
5.

OF 10,0S1 men must be in Camp Jack
son on September 5. This means
that each of the Sc local boards in
the state must have one-third of their
respective quotas ready to move il
time to be at Camp Jackscn ON that
date.

at the Offices of the governor and Of
the adjutant general today. There

lima, and the number to be sent to
Camp Jackson by September 55 mus!
