STATE MILITIA DISBANDED. Governor Blouse Issues Order-Fede rul Authorities Antic?palo Keorg. Columbia. Jan. 1 1.-The organized 1 militia of South Carolina waa dis banded by an order signed at ^ o'clock to-day hy Governor Blease. This order is effective immediately. Approxtniately ?1,000 men are In volved, including about 600 whom the Governor had refused to muster out of service upon orders received about eight months ago from the chief of the division of militia affairs at Governor's Island, New York. Governor Hleaso explained his' ac tion in the order, stating that the ex istence of differences between the Secretary of War and tho Secretary of the Navy and Adjt. Gen. Moore, on ono side, and himself on the other, prompted 'him to take this step. These differences, said the Chief Executive, resulted in serious breaches of discipline in the militia corps. "The persont Governor of the State of South Carolina ls of the opinion that it would ho unfair and unjust on his part to turn over to his successor in office the militia of South Carolina in its present condition," the order read. The militia was commanded by Adit. Gen. W. W. Moon-, of barn well, whose o file lal position is not af fected by the executive order. Gov ernor Blease, however, was com mander-in-chief, cx-oilicio, of the militia. Tho three militia compa nies were commanded by officers with the rank of colonel. Gen. Wilie Jones, of Columbia, was brigadier general of the South Carolina corps. Headquarters of the First Infantry Regiment were at York ville; of the Second Regiment al Columbia, and of the Third at Charleston. Coast artillery corps were located at Char leston, Sullivan's Island, Beaufort and Georgetown, and each had an approximated strength of 60 men and officers. The three Infantry regiments had enlisted strength of about ."><>o men each, commanded each by about 50 1 officers, totalling 2,'JUD, including auxiliary corps. Friction .vhich Governor Blease re ferred to in his order disbanding the militia corlis arose about two years ago. and according to reports of the Adjutant. General, resulted in a marked decrease in discipline of the t roops. The cause of this controversy be tween Governor Blease and Adjutant General Moore ls said to have been the result of the refusal of the Gov ernor to sign certain orders and ofll cial papers presented him by the Ad jutant General. Tho Secretary of War and tho Sec retary of the Navy became parties to this controversy, according to official statements, when the matter of ac counting for about $100,000 worth of Federal property these official de partments claimed had been lost and destroyed by the militia organiza tions was held up. An accounting of this property was begun about a year ago, and was a few weeks ago com pleted, and the completed reports were said to-day to be prepared for the signature of Governor Blease. Tensity of the situation between the Adjutant General's office and Federal officials and of Governor Blease was greatly increased last summer when the Governor refused to permit the militia troops to par ticipate in the annual encampment ordered hy the chief of the division of militia affairs. This action of Governor Blease, according to state ments from the Adjutant General's office, resulted in appropriations by Congress aggregating about $."??,000 for maintenance and equipment of the South Carolina militia being held up by tho War Department pending settlement of lho.se differences. Adjt. Gen. Moore planned to-day to go to Washington early to-morrow to confer with officials of tho War Department regarding reorganization of the troops when Governor Blease leaves office January 19th. \o Comment at Washington. Washington, JanT ll. Governor Blease and the War Department have long been in a controversy over the national guard of South Carolina, and at one point Secretary Garrison with held the Federal aid provided by the Dick law because, the Department contended, the State troops were not IIi* to required efficiency and because the War Department records showed losses of government property. No official com mont was forthcom ing on the action of Governor Blease to-day, but War Department officials expect to see tho South Carolina na tional guard reorganized after he goes out of office this month.

Numbers of persons wanted them, but did not have tho j wherewithal. Ono man offered his I house and lot in town as part pay ment, with his personal noto for tho balance; but the farmer wanted tho cash, and a house and lot in town had no attractions for him. The hams have been hanging up io a leading store in town sinco they ?were brought In, but there have boon no tnkeis.
