Demands a Trained and Versatile Military Man In the last Tew-days Capt. P. K. McCuily or tills city .has received nu merous letters and personal messages requesting him to make the race for adjutant general. Cant. McCuily was announced four year* ago and had every prospect of being elected but rtbdrew from the race. Tho inciwn uent, Gen. W. W. Moore, waa elected. Capt. McCuily waa the only candidate from the piedmont, and jt ia Quite likely that he would have been^toe winner at that time, but he felt that his business interests at home de manded his attention, even If . he should get the office. The appeal that has conte to Capt. McCuily of late baa become so Insis tent that he has wavered id his deter mination to keep out of State politics end It la not unlikely that, he may announce for 'the piaco although he has not yet made up his mtnd. His disposition in the matter Is Influenced by appeals that crane In the name of "the good o* the service." Gen. . Moore has announced his can* dldacy' for reelection, and Capt. Moi Cully joins with Gen. Moore's rrionde. in paying that the incumbent |hae mode a raUhuil o?iccr and bas admin if^ored ,4h*(4?y faareisBi/and carorab.

Moore has right on ht? kely that 1 should be realocted II Ib likely entire organization might go down be cause cf lack .of interest. In order to have a representative militia organization it is necessary to have (be numbers deeply interest ed, tor the pay Is so trifling as to be aimoat an Insult. There haa been no much strife in the militia tor the last.tew ny>ntbs..thit the personnel as a whole hasn't time to stop? and hold an Inquest over the corpus delecti, find it has been urged upon Capt. Mc Cuily that be should make the race ?s one who possibly can come' in, and it be does It will be as a non-partisan? sod ho certainly has the qualifications Of a military mnan Th?fp are announced for the place Capt. M. C. Willis of Vorkvilio and Capt. Clalty or Pt. Matthews. Tbc latter, is; out for vindication, so to ? ak. The situation Is that the riends of the governor will not sup port 'C?en,' Mo?re on account Of serious clashes and " the militia officers of the State appear to be against him! and It sedtna that den. Moore is facing' a, Hard proposition. Ho has the cour age and tho manliness to face It, b?t as for getwng'the votes, this appears to be a matter of grave doubt. Capt McCuily having ?H*V*firr^ rrom the race four years ago, when he practically baa the matter tn hla hands, his friends urge that he sbdidd be given consideration at this time. He was adjutant at the Citadel which is the highest recommendation of bis training in the impressionistic period of a young soldier's lifo, and he baa handled the office of adjutant of the First regiment with ability until Col. j W.
