BLEASE AND MOORE DIFFER ON MILITIA Adjutant (?cncrul Recommends tlmt [Pell Companies He Mustered Out And Klcase Says >'??. Columbia, May 6.?Followin the in spection of the National Guards of the State Adjt. Gen. W. W. Moore recom mended that, ten companies be mus tered out of service. This the Gov ernor declines to do, but In a letter to the captains of these companies urges them to bring them up to the efficiency desired and strongly im presses upon them this need. The Governor praises the usefulness of the National Guard and declares there ought to be a well equlped and drill ed company at each county seat in the State. The companies recommended by Gen More to be mustered out are: The Rlchland Volunteers, at Colum bia; Company C, at Charleston, and the Companies at Bennettsvllle, Harts vllle, Barnwell, Elloree, Conway, Bam berg, Walterboro and Liberty Hill. The following correspondence in the case was given out to-day at the Governor's office: Companies Below Standard. State of South Carolina, Adjutant General's Office. Columbia, May 1,1913. His excellency, the Hon Cole L Blease, Govenor of South Carolina, Columbia?Sir: Having completed the annual Inspection of the several organizations of the National Guards of this State and the mlllltary proper ty in their possession, as required by the provisions of section 16 Military Code, 1 have the honor to report that the following companies had less 75 per cent of their officers and en listed men at such inspection, and that the said companies are not in good condition for service, viz: Company B, 2nd Infantry, Columbia. Company C, 2nd Infantry, Charleston. Company E, 3rd Infantry, Barnwell. Company G, 3rd Infantry, Elloree. Company H, 3rd Infantry, Conway. Company I, 3rd infantry, Bamberg. CompanyK, 3rd Infantry, Walterboro. I also report that the following company has no armory suitable for the safe keeping of arms, uniforms and equipments?In fact, has no ar mory at all, worthy of the name?as rvjuired by Section 25 Military Code, viz: Company B. 1st infantry. Liber ty Hill. Since the language of the sections of the Military Code, quoted above, Is mandatory as regards organizations failing to comply with the require ments named, providing for 'heir dls bandment, I have the honor to recohi inend that you exercise the authority given you in Section IS Military Code, and disband and muster out of ser vice the companies that I have named. Very respectfully, Wm W. Moore, The Adjutant General. Blease Replies to Moore. May 5, 1913. The Hon Wm W. Moore, the Adju tant General, Columbia, S. C.?Dear Sir: Y" letter bearing date May 1, 1913, received whereof has heretofore been acknowledged, has been given careful consideration. I herewith en close you copy of letter addressed by me to captains of each of the com panies enumerated by you. I hope that this letter will have the desired effect, and that my action will prove satisfactory to all concerned. Very respectfully, Cole L. Blease, Governor and Commander-in-Chief. Letter to Captains. State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber, Columbia, May 5.1913.? Dear Sir: Under date of May I, 1913, I received a letter form the lion W. \V. More, the Adjutant General of South Carolina, copy of which let ter is herewith enclosed to you, In which he recommended that your com pany be mustered out of service, for the reason stated in the letter. I hesitate io comply with the recom mendation of the Adjutant General in this matter, because I feel that It would be an injustice in some In stances, and not advisable In others at this time. I, therefore take this means of calling to your attention the necessity for renewed activity on the part of yourself an dtho members of your company. It would be a serious reflection upon you and your men to be mustered out of the service. The ? South'a great chieftain, Gen Robert I E. Lee, said that duty is the BUblimest word in the English language, and it has often been said by military ge niuses that the ilrst duty of a soldier is to obey orders. This report If the Adjutant General is to the effect that your company h;-.s not so done, und it would he a serious reflection upon you to muster you oat for this reason, for it would be a stigma placed upon you as so'uliers to Bay thai you have not performed your duty and have not come up to the requirements. And 1 feel that to musler yon out of the service would not only bo a reflec tion upon you but to muster out as many as the Adjutant General recom mends would cause us the loss of higher officers. We have only three colonels. Their terms of ofllCO in militia have been long ami they have done valuable and efficient service, and it would certainly be a hardship upon them to say, "One of you must go; choose for yourselves which one It shall be"?not for and neglect 01 duty on their part but because of the neglect of duty those under them. And 1 cannot thus reflect upon one of our colonels until I have bogged you gentlemen to do your part. You uiu volunteer soldiers and none should expect of you that devotion to ser vice and regular attendance which Is given by paid men but we. do expect you to come up to the requirements laid down for you In the future. I think a great deal of consideration should be shown to our volunteer troops and tlu\t our lvogislature should give them a greater encouragement and do more for them. 1 have so stated and have hoped that the leg islature would so do. 1 am free to confess that the Legislature has not done as much for you as it should have done. We need good first-class military organizations at every county seat in our State, where a company could always he ready to go forward at a moment's warning to protect the j property and lives of our citizens and particularly to protect our wo-| manhood, from the assaults of those who would dostroy and tear down. In addition to this, we should have a first-class militia, to ho ready at all times in case of the United States I having a war with any other nation so that we would he prepared to go forward and do our pari In upholding our National Government and carry ing out her policies and defending her honor. There are other reasons why we should have a strong militia, which 1 need not take your time to rehash, for yon know them all. In decling to comply with the Adju tant. General's recommendation, I realize, as you do, that I am not car rying out strlckly the letter of the law, but 1 am taking this course be cause of my friendship and love for the hoys who are upholding the vol unteer militia of this State, and, , while I am tree to say that I am doing my full duty, i plead in extenuation of this fact that I stod upon the floor j of the Senate and fought this Dielt law as bard and as bitterly as any man ever fought any I i\v. ! believed then that we are making a fearful mistake in placing these rigid regu lations upon our volunteer hoys, and I believe now Hint It would have been better if this bill had been defeated, and 1 feel that, by the action which is now being taken by the Adjutant General and che action which lias been taken by him for the last few years ? asking tha< the companies be mustered out, Court-martials being and other actions which speaks loud er than words?that my position oi? the floor of the Senate has been fully sustained, and that we would have been in better condition had we re mained as wo were. However, that is past, and we must now meet the con ditions Whielt no exist, and I heg of you to show to the world that I wa.s justified |ii decling Gen Moore's recom mendation by getting your men togetti er, reading this letter to them, doing all that Is necessary to come up to the requirements. And let us all get together and Join hands for a stronger and better militia. Very respectfully, Cole L.

There is a little- community in Greenville county, that boars the cap tion of "Hillside". This same com munity has beon boosted by three UOWBpapor correspondents, with all the energy they p0S! <ssed, through the columns of forr of South Caro lina's periodicals. This community, like other wide-awake sections, finally awoke from Its continued slumbering and fnlry-dreaining, ami now. these noble people (along with the liars) arc reaping the harvest of an Independent prosperity from the seed of patience and hard-work sown in the soils of heart and grain years ago. Fifteen years ago this section was a wilder ness, a typical "Dark Corner". Only a very small per cent, of the land was cleared; school (auch as It was? was taught in a- log cabin, which Is still standing. These people had no such thing as a church. This method of living was soon denounced by the rising generation as they stepped Into the shoes of the older ones. So they rolled up their sleeves, pushed back their hats, and set to work with a longln' to build a house of worship; one of education, and to conjure the obstaelrs that were strewn over their pathway. They looked into the fu ture and beheld the realization of their fondest dreams, and now after a do. cade and a half has passed their pre letlou nas proven true. Today this community is thickly settled by good citizens 'mostly) of a high moral character. These Hillside folks now have, a nice school house, a good Church, and Just a-plenty to back them up in :.ll their undertakings. Hill side has been bu'lt up to where its future Hor.s and daughters can truth fully boast of its high ideals and stu pendous progress that It has made in the past. It matters not how much more chnnces of success that the sec tion along the railway has over the so-called "cmt<\)f-tho-\\-\?jsections; it matters not how much quicker the tail way communities think that they can reap tue harvest of true success, all we have t< say is "It's just up to them to do it" that's all. These people have begun to realize thai there's more chances to surmount the pinnacle of success If they use their brains. So they have set to work and are using their brains studying the various methods of farming. The Hillside people are a church-going people. Christianity and a high moral Character are the supreme laws among them. Their first duty is to God and their country. Their second duly to themselves. All along the way their hearts have whispered hope, thus bringing their fnlry dream to one of reality. ISvon when this remarkable progress overspread thorn they forgo! not Him! For, all along, looming up before them, were the words: "Watch ye, stand last in the faith; quit ye like men; be strong." They are push ing forward to a higher plane of Christianity. When a community is Composed of such people; with such noble ideals; witli so great a rever ence for Him above, then, what is im possible? Great has been the achieve ment of these people Theirs has been a remarkable his. lory, in the future we see nothing to bar them from greater achievements, therefore crying aloud we repeat our question; "What is the limit to Hill side's possibilities?"
