SHOULD DE KEPT Matter of Roiatnin^ the Military Company Ncedek. Tho matter of holding tho Marl boro guards in thc state militia is now up and in fact it is right up to the town as to whether or not Bennettsville is to retain tho com pany. Adjutant and Inspector General Boyd says that it remains for tho people of .Bennettsville to say whether or not the company is to romain herc and he wants the matter settled at once as do all the rest connected with tho case. On last Tuesday Capt. VV II Mc Intyre ami a reporter for tho Ad vocate went to Columbia to see General Boyd about the company. But the General was out of the city on an inspecting tour and a telegram found him at Greenville ami he wired that iie would reach Columbia carly Thursday morning. Capt. McIntyre remained to sec him anil did talk the matter over and 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 ol' discontent and resentment ai thc present standing of the af fair. Thc town seems to have lost :;!! interest in the company and furthermore lhere has been objec tion expressed tit the Way in which t ho company was being conducted. rbis hil booti thc \\;?.\ for (fuite u whili lind; [he nial ter bits reached hi cars of ( louerai Bd? d. Is fad ' . rai himself was up here ai. tl iii ; s ttoil last, tall atv! got I i rsl hand information as to tho tn ti bid and what thc company was j! illy doing. Capt. McIntyre hus now on the. i oii something over fifty men and al tho inspection a few days ago tho company made a creditable showing according to the statement of thc inspecting oilicors and they so roportodjto Gcnoral Boyd. They stated that there was a great im provement in tho company since tho previous inspection. Drills have been held regulary and each military order has been carried out. The Captain of the company, VV II McIntyre, says that bebas dono all that he can to make the com pany what it should be. That he has instructed thc members as best he knew how and his work has been approved by the superior of ficers. That ho has done, all he can to gd the town people interested and that he wants to see the com pany the pride of Bennettsville. ts KN KK AL novo's POSITION. From a previous conversation which the reporter had with Gen eral Boyd tho following is his po sition: That tin; people of Ben nettsville do not seem to fake any interest in the company. That there has been expressed dissatisfaction with the present standing and that he has been endeavoring to get everything harmonious. Ile. said that he wanted the company to stay here but that unless the citi zens of Bennettsville would take Some interest and show that they Wanted it that there was no use in keeping it here. That .furthermore there 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 Bonnettsville's place. He said i hat several towns furnished armories for thc men and that they took pride in thc company and wore ready to do all that they could fer il. | le said that he want ed to know what thc I rouble. Wits and he Would endeavor lo remedy it as tar as he was abb1. i:<?i ii'MKNT ur.iNi; wtTIIHKI.I). The coii)p!in,\, as previously slated, has passed inspection anti is Waiting I'm- its new equipment. The equipment is in Columbia but ( tonend Boyd doc ; not fool its if t he cn i zens of Bennettsville aro support ?hg tho company and bc is holding the equipment until furl lt or developments, It is np to thc Bennettsville people, and especially the business men to impress thc Hilliary department that the. town is willing and anxious to have the company and that they will sup port it. MILITARY COMPANY NEEDED. That Iionnottsvillo needs a mili tary company is obvious. Suppose thoro should bo soino great out break, or something happen which would require military aid, what could bo done if thc company hore was out of service i And then too thcro is no telling when it is need ed. Right herc at hand they could bo turned out on short notice and protect the town and put down thc law breakers should occasion arise while if thc company is allowed to bc removed tho town would have no protection. NO CHANCE FOR ANOTHER. And thc company needs to bc kept herc for if it is removed then there will bc no chanco again soon to have another. As stated before thcro arc several other towns in tho state clamoring for a place in tho militia and they aro willing to give tho aid needed and to back up thc company as it should bo. IMMEDIATE ACTION CALLED FOR. There should bc sonic action tak en immediately on the matter. It is a matter which should person ally interest every citizen and es pecially those having property hore. S<>me plan should be decid ed on and that at once, (ten Boyd wants to feel that tho business men is behind the thing und what ever is tho present trouble let. him know and he will take thc proper stops io see thal everything- is lik ed nil rigel. In justice to tho com pany, injustice to Capt. McIntyre, in justice lo th?: town, in justieo to < lenora! lloyd, ?uni ?,; justice io everyone if thoro aro any com plaints they should i to made known and that openly.
