NATIONAL GUARD OPPOSES CONTINENTAL AIMY At, Recent Meeting Endorsed Pre paredness iden But Not Method. A goodly nunihler of the National Guard Association of South Carolina met in Adjutant General Aloore's of lice Saturday night. The meeting coim sullied two full hours and one of those preselit. said afterwards that it. Was one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the guard that he had ever at tended. The association adopted the report of the national organization, approving reasonable increase in the regular army. The keynote of the meeting l was to improve the National Guard of South Carolina so as to put it on an eqlual footing with those of oiter States. One of the otlicers said after the mieeting: --We realize that the Na tional Guard of South Carolina has not been getting the publicity of those of other States and we cannot blame the press but ourselves. It is now our purpose to keep the work of tle guard before the public and to put It. on a par or above that, of any other State. Ai. the lvgin i i-i g 6f t t meet ing Major 1P. J. I)rew, president of the as sociation appointed Col. '. M. lilythe and Capt. )oyle to escort Governor Manning into the ieeting. Governor Manning was warmly cheered as he entered the meeting. 1li told of lits great interest in he National Guard and of his endeavor to place it on the highest plane of Aileiency. The gov ernor further expressed his approval of the legislative cor'mitten's report, which was offered at (le recent ses sion of tlie Adjutant Generals of the. United States, held in California. One of the principal features of the meeting was tie cr1ffeism of the pro posed continental army, whose provi sions were fully, freely and frankly discussed by Col. Blythe, Gen. Moore, Con. John 1). Frost, Gen. Willie Jones, Maj. Richard F. Watson of Green ville and Capt. .1. Prost Walker, Jr., of Union. All of (le speakers criti cised the continental army as being impracdicable. Among other provi sions of it are: That the enlistment be 133,000 (lie first year, a like number the second and third years, finally reaching approximately 400,000, an( again that there be an encampment every year lasting two months. This last phase was the one that was most severely ridiculed and criticised, as being impracticable of execution. A poem which was written .and sung to the tune of the well-known old song, "Dlanniy Deever" at he meetling of the National Association of Adjiuta IGeneralIs was read at the Meeting fast night. It. strike al tile plans of Seeeretary of War Galrison for the continelintal aiini y. Capt. Walker offered the follow ing resolution, which was adopted without a dissenting vote: "tesolved, That the National Giard Association of South Carvoli na places itself oi record as endorsing the re por. of the legislative commllece of the National Guard Association of the :nited States, at, its meeting held in Saii Franci(6SCO last November, and that It urge tle imiembers of the Foilti Carolina delegation iln congress to ise its infhlence in seciring the enlelt ment of such federal legislationi as wIll be lecessaryv to Carry into eifect the report of the said legislative committee." After the adoption of tle Walker resolutiion J)ll)lishel lbove it was moved and carried that ile president of the association appoint a comimit tee of five to visit Wa si i ngton (u r i ng the first. week of the approachiig 11 ad Iurae uplion h1 le Soulti Carolina delegation such fedelra leg isiatlon as is necessary to Cafrl'y (ut the report of the legislative coiiiiiit tee.

The bill amiliong ItIhel things provides for certain payment to oflicers and meil bers of the militia aid oiligating them to serve as a federal force to aid tile regular army when tile needs of the regular armiy cannot be met. Anl other point urgeI in the repollt which the meeting approved last night was that congress he asked to have the consl tittion changed so as to have the militia availlable anywhere which 1N now impossible underm the present constitution. "lThe National (Guar(l also put. itself on record as favoring a pimblicity camn pagi to educate the people to Ile needs as well as the usefulness of a militia and to urge and encourage yoing Ien as liatriolle citizns to en.. list, in tihe organization and to carri y out Ihe ideas expressed by Gov. .\lan Iling to ri'lse the plane of the ilitia.

The report suggested legislation and change of constitution such as was brought uip at the Columbia meet Ing. The report. after smi ing up1 its Iecommiil1e(dations for better legisla tion and an improved National Guard concludes: "As to the further mattI's submit ted for le von siderat (loll thf 11 1Col.) mittee it recominends that, aut hori'itv be given by law\\ to the heads of the executive department of (Itle federal government to grant leave of ah bsence,, without loss of time Ii or pay or efficiency rating, to all federal em loyes for the perfoimiance of mIlitary duty in the National Guard."---teroird. flear Advertiser Readers: Tr'ying to he popualr Is a big under taking, let ine rise to say.
