The victory enatjjed organized at a meeting to be heW j^^nna to retain a perfect top posi- next Monday night at 8 o clock at league standing, the armory, according to John H. Hunter, captain and commanding of ficcr of the local unit. An interested crowd of citizens responded to Cap tain Hunter’s first call last Monday night at the armory, and it was the opinion of all present that at least 100 men would be present at the or ganization meeting. * In a brief .'Statement of the work of the "Home Guard." Captain Hun ter pointeci out that the unit was be ing formed to replace the local bat tery now in camp at Camp Stewart, | but that the Home "Guard would be subject to call only by the governor of South Carolina, and would be formed principally to serve in case of riot, insurrection, fire, and flood. Attention was also called to the fact that service in the S. C. Defense force would probably have no bear ing whatsoever on the status of any man who is regi.stered for call under the Selective Service act. The men who are specially urged to join the new group are men who have de pendents, and who must keep jobs, but who need basic military training. The Second Regiment is entirely an infantry organization. Plans were discussed for time of meeting, and that was deferred until next week. All meetings will be held in the armory.
