Thursday, April 5. 1917.
While some of Ex-Gov Blease's
ardent followers are condemning
Governor Manning's war attitude
and his "preparedness" propositions,
others are attempting to organize
companies of militia. Wires must
have crossed in promulgating instructions
to the "faithful" by the
leaders.
The attempt at organizing a military
company here last Saturday, as
set forth in a communication published
in The Record last week, was
a fizzle. This fact, however, was not
in the least significant of a lack of patriotism
on the part of a majority of
thecitizens of Williamsburgnor a lack
of confidence in Governor Manning
and his preparedness promulgations
anent the country's present war
crisis. When the moment of need
comes we are prone to believe that
'*Wf.* aA? mill wnonAnr) fa fKo I
CVCI Jf nuic 9VU mil ivopvuu vv/ vuv
call just as speedily as the boys did
in *61.
Although some of Governor Manning's
political opponents are attacking
his attitude and his utterances
relative to war against G?.t
many, yet they seem to meet the
approbation of the majority of the
people of South Carolina, and not
that, but his sentiments are almost
identical with those of the President
and Congress,with the exception of a
"tew wilful men" who compose that
body. South Carolina has never
yet shown the white feather at a
time like this and Governor Manning
and the rest of the world may
depend on it that every true son of
the old Palmetto State will rally to
the call when the hour of actual
need arrives, regardless of their
pe?ce-iuviuj{ i-'rupcuaiMco.
Congress met in extra session Monday
and organized without difficulty.
South Carolina's Representatives received
committee appointments as
follows: Ragsdale, foreign affairs;
Whaley, judiciary; Byrnes, appropriations;
Dominick, poetoffices; Nichoils,military
affairs; Stevenson,banking
and currency; Lever, agriculture
(chairman).
