So It Appears?and the Good of

Trained and Versatile
Military Man
In the last Tew-days Capt. P. K.
McCuily or tills city .has received nu
merous letters and personal messages
requesting him to make the race for
adjutant general. Cant. McCuily was
announced four year* ago and had
every prospect of being elected but
rtbdrew from the race. Tho inciwn
uent, Gen. W. W. Moore, waa elected.
Capt. McCuily waa the only candidate
from the piedmont, and jt ia Quite
likely that he would have been^toe
winner at that time, but he felt that
his business interests at home de
manded his attention, even If . he
should get the office.
The appeal that has conte to Capt.
McCuily of late baa become so Insis
tent that he has wavered id his deter
mination to keep out of State politics
end It la not unlikely that, he may
announce for 'the piaco although he
has not yet made up his mtnd. His
disposition in the matter Is Influenced
by appeals that crane In the name of
"the good o* the service."
Gen. . Moore has announced his can*
dldacy' for reelection, and Capt. Moi
Cully joins with Gen. Moore's rrionde.

Moore has right on ht?
kely that

should be realocted II Ib likely
entire organization might go down be
cause cf lack .of interest.
In order to have a representative
militia organization it is necessary
to have (be numbers deeply interest
ed, tor the pay Is so trifling as to
be aimoat an Insult. There haa been
no much strife in the militia tor the
last.tew ny>ntbs..thit the personnel as
a whole hasn't time to stop? and hold
an Inquest over the corpus delecti,
find it has been urged upon Capt. Mc
Cuily that be should make the race

be does It will be as a non-partisan?
sod ho certainly has the qualifications
Of a military mnan
Th?fp are announced for the place
Capt. M. C. Willis of Vorkvilio and
Capt. Clalty or Pt. Matthews. Tbc
latter, is; out for vindication, so to
? ak. The situation Is that the
riends of the governor will not sup
port 'C?en,' Mo?re on account Of serious
clashes and " the militia officers of
the State appear to be against him!
and It sedtna that den. Moore is facing'
a, Hard proposition. Ho has the cour
age and tho manliness to face It, b?t
as for getwng'the votes, this appears
to be a matter of grave doubt.
Capt McCuily having ?H*V*firr^
rrom the race four years ago, when
he practically baa the matter tn hla
hands, his friends urge that he sbdidd
be given consideration at this time.
He was adjutant at the Citadel which
is the highest recommendation of bis
training in the impressionistic period
of a young soldier's lifo, and he baa
handled the office of adjutant of the
