BLFASE CLASHI~ WITH GARRISON .cretary of War Holds Up Selection of Camp Site Pending Adjustment of Difficultiy. Washington, April 1G.-Secretary of War Garrison announced tonight that he was holding up the selection of a site for the annual summer maneu vers of the militias of Florida, Geor gia, South Carolina and North Caro lina, -pending the adjustment of the latest clash between Gov. Cole L. dlease, of South Carolina, and the war department. The Isle of Palms, near Charleston, S. C., had been selected by the mili tia adjutants general and the war de partment, but was not approved be cause of vigorous obsjections from (lovernor Illease, who complained that he had not been consulted. La ter the department received a tele gram fron the governor urging the sdlection of the site. lonllplussed by this development, Secretary Garrison asked the gover mor to withdraw one or the other of his communications, but the governor refused, insisting if the Isle of Palms was chosen he must be consulted. Now Representative Whaley, of South Carolina, has undertaken to straight em out the tangle. Still Up in the Air. The matter of selecting the site for the encampment and maneuvers of the southern militia this summer is still' up in the air, but it is expected that a final decision will be announced within the next day or no. Oflicials at the war department are very reti cent, and it is hard to get anybody else to talk. As was announced several weeks ago, it was stated that Charleston bad been selected. Most people thought that was the end of it, but there were developments. Congressman Ragsdale for some reason was dissatisfied with Charles ton, and favored Greenville, and he went to the war department and sue coeded in getting the matter reopen ed. Then came the explanation that an army officer had been sent to Char leston, Greenville and other cities that wanted the encampment to look over the different sites offered and report as to which seemed to be the best, but that the oflicer, instead of submitting a report to the department for ap proval, had gone ahead and decided the matter for himself and had even made some contracts in connection with the encampment on behalf of 'the government. Mr. Garrison, the secre tary of war, was much surprised when he learned what the army oillcer had done, and he forthwith issued a per emptory order revoking the officer's decision. Upon further investigation, however, it ivas found that the army edicer was acting within his legal nights, that he had authorly under 1be law to make the selection, and to make preliminary contracts for the use of land, supplies, etc. It looks now as it 'may be decided that the govern ment is bound by the army officer's action, and that the encanmpment m'ay go to Charleston after all. At least this statement was made today by a gentleman here who has been keeping in close touch with the mat Whaley Surprised. Congressman Whaley, who repre bents the Charleston district, was much surprised when he learned what had been done in revoking the order for the encampm)Ient to go to Charles ton, and ho has been working hard to hold It for his town. Congress man Johnson, of course, has been anxious for it to go to Grmeenville, and has worked hard for that town, hut he made his fight some time ago and thought it had been lost when the an inouncement was made that Charles ton. had been selected, Ile was much erprised when ho learned that Mr. Etgsdale had succeeded in having the matter reop~ened, but lhe has been very earnest since then in urging the daims of Greenville. J. Thomas Arun dd and other citizens of Greenville 'were hecre several (days ago and wvent 4. the war department and make a sttong Ilea for their town. As stated, the matter seems to be 'very much up in the air. Mr. Whaloy AIll thinks lhe will land the encamp ment for Charleston, but others seemi to think the enmp~ment will go else 'where. It is an interesting situation, and there are some who think the final result of the scramblp may be that 'the encampment will not be held in M0uth Carolina at all but may go to some other state.

Duvall, of Cheraw, to Rin for Lieutentnt Governor? Report Reach. es Columbia. Colu-mbia, -April 14.-That Mr. E. Walker Duvall, of Cheraw, may enter the race for Lioutant Governor is the information brought to Columbia to day. It was stated that strong pres sure is being brought to bear on Mr. IDuvall to run and it is said that he is giving consideration to the matter. Mr. Duvall ran agalist Lieutenant Gover nor C. A. Smith four years ago and polled a fine vote. He is the head of one of the largest business concerns in Chesterfield county and'is well known throughout the state. Political circles concede that if Mr. Duvall enters the race for Lieuteant Governor he will be a most formidable opponent. Representative George W. Dick, of Sumter the chairman of the ways and means committee of the House, was here today attending a meeting of the sinking fund commission. Dr. Dick is being urged to stand for re-election to the House so that his friends can put him up for Speaker, and he is being urged also to enter the race for the State Senate from Sumter coun ty, and if he should go in against Sen ator John If. Clifton and Representa tive R. D. Epps, the Sumterites will have three strong candidates to pick from. Dr. Dick would not say today what he would (10, in fact, he gave the impression that he was undecided. Senator P. L. Hardin, of Chester, the chairman of the finance commit tee of the Senate and President pro ten of that body, was here today, also, in attendance on the sinking fund commission meeting. Senator Hardin has been urged to run for Lieutenant Governor, but it is probable that he will stand for re-election to the Sen ate from Chester, a position he has trice been elected to without oppo sition. Itepresentatives .J. A. Hunter, of Ilamberg, and .1. lloward Moore, o: Abbeville, are already anmounced can didates for Lieutenant Governor. For mer State Senator 13. Frank Kelley, of Blishopville, was the first to announce for lieutenant governor- and when he was In Columbia recently he said that lie was still running and expected to be elected. Another visitor here today was Representative J. J. Evans of Marl boro county, who was passing through en route to Clemson college, to attend a meeting of the board of trustees, of which lie is a .member, having been elected at the last session of the gen eral assembly. ir. Evans is running for the State senate from Marlboro county, and this morning -.xpressed his confidence that he would be sue cessful. He is opposed by Col. .1. N. Drake and Mr. Jeff Edens. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * " * NEWS FROM JONES. * * * * *S* .*.**.* . * * *5**5 Jones, April 20.-Mrs. . T". Daniel of Spartanburg, recently visited Mrs. W. T. Jones.
