WILL SOUTH CAROLINA HIVE A THIRD REGIMENT? The Order Comes From Washington for a Tiiird Regiment?Gov. Man ning Has Said !VYe Would >ot HaYe Another Regiment. Oifmloc^n Amorioan icotvu * ? - n 11 y Columbia, May 23.?Notwithstanding i the decision of Gov.

Gov. banning himself, in announc ing his decision not to organize a third regiment, pointed out its advan tages. "I have had under considera tion for some time the organization of a third regiment of infantry and three troops of cavalry." he said on jP May 14. "It was my desire to organ ize them," he continued, "in order to allow those who volunteer, or, who a^re called into the service, to serve in State organizations under their own officers. I had postponed-final decis ion until I could be fully advised by % the war department of the conditions J /?nn. which would be impuseu ? ugov wm ditions recently received, force me tc the conclusion that it will be imprac tical, if not impossible, to meet the requirements." It was pointed out in this corre spondence at the time that the pub lished plans of the war department Included a third regiment of infantrj #vta Q+gfa and the statement ha* been verified by the announcemem published this jaorning that Soutl Carolina will -*.e called npon for th? following additional National Quart resriment infantry, thre< U W{/0< V?v. ? troops cavalry, one regiment field ar tillery, two companies of engineers one outpost company, signal corps.

"The Confederate veteran is of the highest type of our Southern chival ry, and his indomitable energy and devoted patriotism have been the main forces that have reclaimed and made of the South today one of the greatest sections of our reunited na tion. This is true, as you will read ily admit, from any viewpoint we wish to approach it. Many of these vet erans have never had the opportunity of visiting tbeir national capital, and we must realize that this will he the last reunion that many of them will Ho fnvitAd to attend. Their ranks are growing thinner and thinner each year, and very soon there will be none of them left for us to honor? nothing but a memory. The South Carolina commission feels that when this nuesticu is once presented to you in Its true light you will be moved to use your utmost endeavor to afford these patriots an opportunity that may never come again?an opportun ity that we feel sure that every one of them, from the humblest to t.h -? greatest, is anxious to take advantage of.

The following was written for Tues day's paper but got crowded out: The Newberry firemen brought back more money from the tournament, even if they didn't win the grand prize, which they just did miss. The Herald and News said they went with the intention of returning with the money. The prizes they won were as follows: Grand hose wagon race, second prize, $123-; prize winners' race, first prize, $75; hand reel race, second prise, $75; grab hand reel race, second pr^ze, $25.
