The Herald and News Entered at the Postoffice .if \Tf>wSrrrv, S. C., as 2class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, July 25, 1913. THE MILITARY SITUATION. Under the caption, "Adjutant General Moore Blunders," the News and Courier of Thursday morning carries an editorial in which it very severely condemns the course of General Moore in ordering three of the companies of the third regiment home from the Aiken encampment because they did not have the required number of men. The whole matter is set out in another column of this issue of The Herald and News, including the rebuke of the governor to the adjutant general. According to the statement of Cap-' i tain Claffy, of the Orangeburg com- j pany, that company lacked only five enlisted men of having the full com-j plement necessary. "The others de-! clared that they could not leave "home : because their crops were in such condition as absolutely to demand their attention. A number of them prom - - ? - 2. a :i-^ ised to join the company ai Amen ; early in the encampment. Captain ; Claffv states, moreover, that 'this is the first time in our nineteen years of service to the State that this company has failed to turn out less than forty-eight men at every encampment or manoeuvres.'" I The News and Courier thus com-1 ments upon the action of the adjutant general: 'Toon such a statement of facts tl?e 1 action of the adjutant general in ordering the Orangeburg company home, or, what amounted to the same thing, in refusing to furnish^the men | with subsistence if they remained,' would have been unduly harsh at any | timp and in anv circumstances. To i have taken such a course at a moment when the m:1itary situation in South Carolina is so delicate, when almost within the week the National Guard has been saved with difficulty from a threatened disorganization which he by his tactlessness and want of discretion has done much to pre ~ . .. j eipitate, was glaringly injudicious." i The course of Adjutant General Moore, through this whole military situation, has been hard to understand. Instead of trying to help the militia to come up to the highest state i of efficiency, he has seemed to direct Ms efforts, whatever may have been his intention, to putting out of service the companies which are most vitally needed in South Carolina, without giving these companies a chance to come up to the requirements which have been demanded. The eleven companies which it was sought to muster out are mainlv in '' wh'at is known as the "black belt1' of " ' * " 1 " 1 AworOni. I SOUTH Carolina, wuwc mama ui&am- | i zations are certainly most needed, if j needed at all?and no one can doubt I the wisdom of the militia. Governor Bleaes refused to muster out these j companies without giving them a chance to come up to the require-' ments, stating, however, that he' would urge a strict compliance on | the part of these companies and re-1 quire them to comply with these re- ' quirements if they were given a rea- j sonable time to do so. The war de-1 partment adopted the governor's views in the matter, and allowed these com- j panies three montlis. The situation at times, as report-1 ed in the newspapers, was extremely delicate, hut the governor saved the eleven companies and secured for. them the chance for which he was j fighting. Now, right on the heels of that, comes this "break" of the adjutant. general at the Aiken encampment. I Governor Blease's severe strictures upon General Moore and his letter to 1 the war departmnt in connction with the matter are printed elsewhere in this issue. i ne .\ews ana uouries is rjgiu ( I its editorial, and what it says sustains the position of Governor Blease throughout the whole situation.

The majority of the students remained to the end, attending the various departments with unflagging interest. About ninety Sunday school workers registered for study, and a large number besides were, present as visitors during the ses sions. All of the students wfere lodged in the college dormitories and took "their. meals at the college boarding hall. The faculty consisted of the Rev. j H. A. McCullough, of Columbia, who gave a course in the laws and methods of teaching; the Rev. Dr. C. E. Weltner, of Columbia, who gave a ; r.A^iAr< lAAtnrAO in T3 T "HI hiCtATV * I )5CI ICO U1 l^k/tUi to XXX JL/llt/iV *- * XOV.VA J y j Mrs. W. E. Pugh, of Florence, who had charge of the junior department; and Mrs. C. E. Weltner, assisted by Miss Marie Summer, who taught the teachers of the primary grade; the Rev. E. C. Cronk, D. D., had charge of the music of the normal and held conferences on the subject of missions. I /The normal was an unqualified sue cess. The "normalites" are enthuiastic in their desire to return to Newberry college next summer. At the meeting Wednesday nigh': they made , this plain by an enthusiastic vote, j They also gave a good normal yell for ! the matron of the boarding hall, Mrs. | Summer, for her many kindnesses tc them': j It is intended that this normal shall become an annual event, this being now the third. The last year's normal was held at Leesville, S. C. The purpose is a gooa one, to irain sun- ; day school workers, teachers and officers to do their work successfully J in the places where they labor. The following resolutions were! adopted at the chapel services Thursday morning: Resolved, first, That we extend the : I hearty thanks of the normal to Pres-!. ident J.
