Hilitia Hay Be Called Out.
Of decided interest to the
members of the local military
organization is the despatch sent
out from Columbia Monday
which, in part, read as follows:
Orders to get ready for mobilization,
in case orders come for
service on the Mexican border,
were issued to the South Carolina
National Guard Monday by Gov.
Richard I. Manning just before
his departure for St. Louis. The
governor, who was just back
from Washington. Would not sav
why he promulgated the getready
orders further than he
wanted the companies warned of
what might happen. He said
he was issuing the orders because
there might be a call lor
the troops any day.
In unofficial circles the belief
was expressed that the orders
for the South Carolina militia tc
go to the Mexican border will b
issued in Washington immediately
after the St. Louis convention.
The South Carolina militia is
composed of two regiments of
infantry, four companies of
naval militia, five companies of
coast artillery, and one troop of
cavalry, in all a little over 2.00C
men.
