The matter of holding tho Marl boro guards in tho state militia is now up and in fact it is right up to the town us to whether or not Bennettsville is to retain tho com pany. Adjutant and Inspector General Boyd says that it remains for tho people of Bonnottsvillo to say whether or not the company is to romain here and he wants thc matter settled at once as do all the rest connected with the case. On last Tuesday Capt. W II Mc Intyre and a reporter for tho Ad vocate went to Columbia to seo General Boyd about the company. But the General was out of tho city on an inspecting tour and a telegram found him af Greenville ami he wired that ho would reach Columbia early Thursday morning. Capt. McIntyre remained to see him and did talk the matter over ami General Boyd stated to him that it remained with the people of Bennettsville to decide the mat ter. Kor sometime there has been a spirit <d' discontent and resentment ai thc present standing of the af fair. Thc town seems to lune lost lill interest in the company and' furthermore Ibero has '?cen objec lion expressed at tile v\::y in which the. company w as being conducted. '! : is lia bi cn tho way for quite a wi'.ih and th? mutter nus reached liv cai of ( h ile .d I :<< w di ls tact Iii ' 'v i ;irai in'biself was up here : inspect toit ; last fail and got (ii st hand ii.'?onii?tion as to tho trouble and what the company was j ?1 >'i,v doing. <'<:n(. M (Intyre has now on thc roll something over fifty men and at tho inspection a few days ago tho company made, a creditable showing according to the statement of the inspecting o?icors and they so roportcdjto General Boyd. They slated that there was ti great im provement in thc company since tho previous inspection Drills have been held regulary and each military order has been carried out. The, Captain of thc company, W ll McIntyre, says that bebas donc all that he can to make the com-: jinny what it should be. That ho has instructed tho members as best he knew how and his work has been approved by the superior of ficers. That he has done all he can to get the town people interested and that he wants to see tho com pany tho pride of Bennettsville. 0 KN Kit AL novo's POSITION. foYom a previous conversation which tho reporter had with Gen eral Boyd tim following is his po sition: That tho people of Ben nettsville do not seem to fake any interest in the company. That there1 has been expressed dissatisfaction with tho present standing and that ho has been endeavoring to got everything harmonious. Ho said that he wanted the company to slay here, but that unless tho citi zens ol' Bennettsville would take some interest and show that they wanted it that there was no use in keeping it here. That furthermore lhere were several other towns in tho state, which were' anxious to have military companies and they would jump at the chance of get ting in Bennettsvillc's place. Ile said that several towns furnished armories for tho men and thal they took pride in tho company and were ready to do all that they could for it. Ile -aid that h.-want ed to know what thc trouble was and ho would endeavor to remedy ! it as far fis he was able r.oi ii'MK.vr nr.iNo winnii.i.n. Thc company, ns previously slated, has passed inspection and is waiting for its new equipment. The equipment is in Columbia bul (lenora! Boyd does not feel tis if tho citizens pf Bennettsville are supporting the company and he is holding the equipment until furth er do\elopments, lt is up to thc Bennettsville |lpoplo and especially the business tuyn to impress thc miliury d?partirent that the, town is willing and anxious to h av o thc company and that they will sup port it. MILITARY COMPANY NEEDED, That Ilonnottsvillo needs a mili tary company is obvious. Suppose there should bo somo great out break, or something happen which would require military aid, what could bc dono if thc company herc was 'Out jof service? And then too there is no telling when it is need ed. Hight here at hand they could bo turned out on short notice and protect the town and put down the law breakers should occasion arise while if the company is allowed to bc removed the town would have no protection. NO CHANCE ECU A N OT 11 F.K. And tho company needs lo be kept hore for if it is removed thou there will bc no chanco again soon to have another. As stated before there aro several other towns in thc state clamoring for a place in tho militia and they are willing to give tho aid needed and to back up tho company as it should be. IMMEDIATE ACTION CALLED EOK. There should bo some action tak en immediately on tho matter. It is a matter which should person ally interest every citizen and es pecially those, having property hore. Some plan should bo deckl ed on Mini that at once. Gen Boyd wants to feel that the business men is behind the thing and what ever is t'.;e present trouble lot him : know and he will take tho proper steps lo :.. e that everything is fix ed ail right. In justico to I ho com pany, injustice to Capt. Mcintyre, in justice ld the town, in justice to General lloyd, :>iui in justice lo everyone il thero ard any com plaints they should bc made known and that openly. Tho matter dc mands attention at once. Lt Ls right up to thc town. Democratic Club Attention..
