FIVE COMPANIES LOSE FEDERAL AID Wax Department Recommends Thej be Mustered Out. Blease to Sate Them* Columbia. November 22.?All Feder al aid has been withdrawn from tho military companies at Chesterfield, Bennettsville, Barnwell, Conway and Bamberg, and the war department r?>c oinmends thai they be mustered oul of tho National Guard of South Carolina a:.d disbanded, according to o letter re ceived by Governor Blease from Secre tary of War Lindley M. Garrison. This reoommoudatlou and withdrawal of all Federal aid follows the rciuspection o;' the thirteen companies found deficient at the spring examinations. Governor Blease will not muster out ih* companies, but will put the whole matter up to the coming session of tho General Assembly, so ho stated this ?ting. The governor will call a con ference of the ranking officers of the Nationul Guard to lay tho matter he fore them, and tili? conference will bo participated In by Brig. Gen. Wilie Jones, Col, W. W. Lewis, of the 1st reg iment; Col. C. T. Lipscomb, of the 2nd regiment; Col. Julius K. Cogswell, of the 3d regiment: Assistant Adjt. Gen. O. "W. Babb and the captains or officers in charge of tho five companies recom mended to ht? dismissed. Improved Since Spring. The companies at Liberty, two in Co lumbia, Darlington. Llloree, Walter boTO and Lancaster companies, are found to have Improved since the spring examination and will bo retain ed, some changes and improvements being suggested by Secretary Garri son. The governor states that ho hopes to get the five companies from which Federal aid has been withdrawn to re organize, and come up to the standard required so that they can retain their membership In the National Guard of the State. It was known some days ago that Secretary Garrison had written a let ter to Governor Blease on the South Carolina militia, and on his return from Jacksonville this morning, on be ing asked about such a letter, said: Governor's Statement. Yes: I found the letter here upon my return from Jacksonville. The let ter bears date November 10, but It reached this office only on November 20. I am very much pleased with the ?outcome of the rciuspection. As a mat ter of course, 1 would have been very much. V ittor pleased If all the com panies had been able to make good. However, when I was requested loj muster out thirteen companies it is ?voll remembered that I absolutely re fused to do so and requested that ro i;,.-pection. which now has been held and completed, and as a result eight Companies are saved. Five. I regret to say. it seems will have to he mustered out. But 1 presume I will be given a ? little credit for saving the remainder of the companies. It Is much better to lose only five than it would have boon to lose thirteen, and had 1 done as l was requested to d<> at flrsl these thirteen companies would have been mustered out and we would not have been able to have saved those which tho war department now recognizes as all right. Feels Well Repaid. '1 regret very much that the com panies at ?Chesterfield, Henncttsville, Barnwell, Conway and Bamberg failed to present themselves In such condi tion as that they could.be retained. However. I fool thoroughly well paid Kir my light In having saved the com panies at Liberty Hill, tho two Colum bia companies and the Darlington. 131 >rco, Wnltorboro and Lancaster com panies. It will be noticed, too, that among the companies which I have saved are the two very important com panies of l311oree ami Wnltorboro. Of course, the Others arc not less impor tant fro 'mono standpoint, but condi tions may arise which would make these two very necessary to the pro tection of the white people of their < ommunitlcs. "I do not care to give the letter out In full as I th ik it would bo a mis take just at this time. I shall, how ever address a letter to the captain ol each of these companies, stating to him the conditions as reported by tho war department, and asking him to make one more attempt to get him self and his company in shape, f shall then make final report of the entire matter to the legislature, after con sultation with some military oftlcers, and ask the Legislature to take what ? vor action is necessary and I hope, at ?he latest, by the first of March or \prll; to have all these companies back .n position to remain members of the National Guard of South Carolina."
