BEHALF OF STATE MILITIA. Adjt. Gen. Writes letter to Foniinei ? rial Bodies in South Carolina. Columbia, May 21.?In an effoi to arouse more interest among tli people, and especially the busines men in the National Guard, Adj Gen, \Y. \Y. Moore has written le ters to the chambers of commerc and boards of trade in the State se ting forth the reasons why the X; tional Guard deserves the cordial su] port and encouragement of the pe< pie. The adjutant general feels th< the cooperation of the people and tli active interest and support of tf W business men and citizens woul x stimulate the National Guard and ei courage the officers and enlisted me in the effrots which are now bein made to bring the organization to high State of efficiency. The National Guard are the gua antors of protection to life and pro] erty, as pointed out by Gen. Mooi in making public copies of his lettc to the commercial organizations. Ju what the National Guard means t the people and its importance 1" -stresses and he is very anxious for greater display of interest and mot cordial cooperation oetweeii me pie and the National Guard. The following is a copy of the Ie ter of the adjutant general to tl: commercial organizations of th [ State: Adjutant General's Letter. "Secretary, Chamber of Commerc ?Dear Sir: Some time ago I too up with the president and secretai of the chamber of commerce, Charle: ton, S. C.. the matter of cooperatio on their part with the business me of the city of Charleston, with tli view of impressing them with tf importance of a greater interest i the National Guard of this State, e pecially in their local organization President McLeod assured me th? VoH novpr considered th / -* nunc 111^J auu MV V. matter seriously before, that afte hearing my views on the subject. 1 ralized the great importance to tl business men of contributing ever; thing in their power towards buil< > ing up a first-class National Guari and that he had resolved to brie this matter to the attention of I1 Charleston business men, feeling sa isfied that good results would follcv There is no doubt that there has bee a considerable lack of interest in tt guard on the part of the citizens gei erally, and especially some of tt business men, who object to men bers of the guard employed by thei performing the duties that are nece: sarily required of Its membershi] i especially attendance at drills and ai nual encampments. . "Now, mv contention is that th guard constitutes a police protectio to the citizens, their lives and pro] erty, and every citizen of this Stat should contribute a least his mor; support and appreciation of service 4 rendered by the young men who con pose this organization, and who ai willing at all times to perform tb duties required of them without con pensation or hope of reward, excei the consciousness of having faithful! performed the duties which the Stal of South Carolina expects of then Now, I believe, that if all of thos who constitute the business end c the city, such as the president, seen tary and members of the chamber < commerce, will take this matter u with the business men of their towr and cities, there is no question bi what a wonderful feeling of intere; can be awakened and a much bettc organization can be maintained in tb National Guard, if a hearty cooper.* tion on the part of all of the cit zens can be assured, especially df tb business men. One of the busines men of the city of Jacksonville in n plying to a similar inquiry, made th' comment: 'We firmly believe th? the militia should be encouraged an brought up to a high state of efficiei cy. We are also glad to assist alon this line. At present we have no en ployees who are enlisted.' Anothe business man made this statement 'Jacksonville could as well give u her fire department as to allow single one of her militia companit to disband.' And still another: 'Yo can depend on our doing our best t promote the interest of the militia.' "These expressions clearly indicat what Jacksonville and the State < Florida think of their militia, and you will kindly take this up with th chamber of commerce, and throug ; it with the business men of your cit; I am sure that flattering results wi follow. m/v lioor frani Vflll 5 r\iiiui* ici nitr kvui ? vv* ?. your earliest convenience.

J" The typical carnival is closely akin to what is commonly known as the tg "mid-way" at a county fair. It is >e . t made up of an aggregation of various kinds of shows, some of them respectable, some not, and all kinds of catchpenny schemes, gambling devices, im16 1 moral exhibitions and the like.

It j was common in the early days to il 1 . . 1 I inaugurate a voting contest for a >S i ring or some other trinket to be given to the "most popular young lady," and often a whole community was l6 worked up to a high state of enthusiasm that operated in the interest v of the show people. Because of itg nature, the carnival '6 game was one that could seldom be worked twice in the same communi50 ^ ty with equal success. The whole thing was too transparent. There ^ were too many people with sufficient , intelligence to realize how they were P being taken in by becoming voluntary sponsors for thinly disguised im ^ morality, gambling games and ex* tremely doubtful methods generally, ^ under pretense of help for various i worthy causes. Town authorities be . | came more and more reluctant to ad! mit such aggregations under any pre| tense and after a time most towns refused to tolerate them at all, even on * the payment of straight license. t During the past several years the d question of admitting carnivals has 4 been the occasion of controversies be? tween the citizenship and councils of j j various towns throughout South Car>r olina and adjoining States, and often '. these controversies have been so p heated as to cause much feeling and lasting enmities. In most cases the citizens have won and the carnivals ' have been tabood: but still there are towns that cannot resist the blandishments of these people and the end is not yet.?Yorkville Enquirer. >f ANOTHER GRANDCHILD. if e Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo Will Name h Baby After I*ite Mrs. Wilson.

PEOPLES BANK f Bamberg, - - - - - - South Carolina A Card to Owners | of Rural Telephone Lines We are anxious to see that all lines owned by other parties and connected with us are kept in such condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep, we want to co-operate with them. All lines require a thorough overeauling occasionally if the best service is to be obtained. We recommend that every line connected with us be overhauled at least once a year, and that at least one experienced telephone man assist in this work. The cost of this work when divided among all the patrons of the line, makes the amount paid by each man small, and this cost will be more than offset by the improved service. If the owners of rural telephone lines in this section are experiencing trouble with their service, we will appreciate their talking the matter over with our Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do what we can toward helping you improve the condition of your line. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY .
