Approximately 3,000 Men can Bo Mus? tered Into the Two Regiments in State?Troops Must be Mobilized Within Five Bays After Issue of Adjutant GcneiuPs Call?Will Oaikip at Sty e. Columbia, June 19.?The military department of South Carolina today stands ready to put into Instant exe? cution tie order for mobilization of the State's National Guard, announc? ed in dispatches from Washington. Preliminary orders outlining the move? ment of the State's 2,568 men to the mobilization camp already have been issued, and only the word of com? mand is waited before the citizen soldiery assemble at their stations and movo to the concentration camp at Styx, in Lexington county, a few miles from Columbia. At an early hour this morning Gov. Manning said that he had not yet re? ceived the request for mobilization. Orders for the concentration and the mustering of the State troops Into the federal service will issue. Gen. W. W. Moore, adjutant general, an? nounced that he was In touch with the regimental commanders, who in turn had been in communication with their subordinates, and that once re? ceived the mobilization orders would gp forward with all dispatch. THe adjutant general thinks that, as all plans for mobilization have been long propared in advance, the entire strength of the National Guard can be mobilized at Styx within tho five day period allotted for the opera? tion. Gov. Manning issued a statement ? In which he expressed his confidence 1 in the patriotism and loyalty of the militia and of citizens who could help or hinder the work of the National Guard. "South Carolina will promptly re? spond and furnish her quota," de? clared Gov. Manning. "I am confident' that the call for additional men in the service will be met by our loyal and brave men In an offer for their services to. defend their country. Fur? thermore, those who employ men will, I am sure, see their duty in making it possible and easy for their employes , to ijin the National Guard and thus rtlschr -go an Obligation that re^W? ? upon very citizen to contribute his part t f American defense and to pru tect ? iiencau lives and honor." j (Je? Moore was at Ids desk far I into me night, awaiting orders from tho proper officer. He has already communicated with Col. E. M. Blythc and Col. Holmes B. Springs, who have In turn gotten Into touch with their companies. Gen. Moore sont the following tele? gram to the chief of the bureau of militia affairs in Washington. "Tho organized militia of South Car? olina, including the naval militia, stand ready to answer any calls for duty within or without the States. The guard is not only willing but anxious to respond to the call of their country In this crisis." Gen. Moore, commenting upon his telegram, said that he could not have asked for a more hearty spirit of co? operation than he received from the company officers he had been In com? munication with. Gov. Manning will on reecipt of of? ficial orders issue the mobilization or? der to the State troops through Gen. Moore, who will get Into communica? tion with staff officers and regimental commanders over long distance tele? phone and notify them of the order. Instructions have already been Issued as to how to act In case mobilization orders coine. The adjutant general is of the opinion that the mobilization, when ordered, can be completed with? in flvo days. The full war strength of the South Carolina militia, said Gen. Moore last night, will approximate over 5,000 of? ficers and men. This strength will be distributed among two regiments of 12 Infantry companies each. In ad? dition each regiment will have one supply company of 54 men and one machine gun company of 50 men. There will be five companies of coast artillery which, whe n mustered to full war strength, will aggregate 750 en? listed men and about 20 officers. The I naval militia, consisting of four dl j visions, wil1 have an entire enlistment. Jof about 200 men and approximately 20 officers.

Recruiting Office Kept Open in Arm? ory Hall nil Day?Company Needs Eighty Recruits to Raise Company to Full Strength?Excitement Cre? ated by Call. Intense excitement was created among many of the people last night when the call was received here over telephone for the Sumter Light In? fantry to mobilize at once and be pre? pared to move at short notice. The orders from Adjutant and Inspector General Moore were received at about 8 o'clock last night and in a short time Maj. Bradford had notified the company officers, who in turn had no? tified all of the men of the company. Further information was obtained and It was found that the company was given forty-eight hours in which to move to camp Styx near Columbia, although five days were given the company, if it was found necessary to take that much time. This quieted some of the men down for awhile, but many of them hung about the streets until a late hour talking of the or? ders which had been received and the probability of their being ordered to Mexico. This morning full Information was given to the members of the company and many of them remained in their uniforms throughout the whole day. Lieut. Edward Bradford was put in charge of the recruiting office and up to twelve o'clock four men had signed up 'fir enlistment. Three new men signed up on Saturday night. Many others applied for enlistment, but werfe turned away until they could secure the consent of their parents. Of the former members only about ' Hroj per cent, of them had signed the new, enlistment oath. This morning a number of those who had not done so, but 'Who expected to continue In the militia came in and took the new oath' and enlistment for three years. The Sumter Light Infantry, Com? pany L, National Guard of South Carolina, at twelve" o'clock today had sever&y^one enlisted men on Its mus? ter roll. The normal working force is sixty-five, therefore the Sumter company has sufficient men to move on td' the Styx, whenever the officers } ilesire It to do so, but the call has been ' 17 L 4" for the companies to enlist up td wheir full strength, one hundred and ftfty men, and, as can be seen; sev? enty-nine more, m^n rue needed on to* company's foil.

Bristow, the surgeon attached to the Sumter com? pany, was kept busy examining the men. Only about one-third of the men had stood the new physical ex imination required of all of those who took the new enlistment oath. Many of these were taking the phy? sical examination today. The newly enlisted men were also placed on the tvaltfng list to be examined at the earl' vi ttme the surgeon could give then, attention. The Sumter company is in com? mand of Capt. Robert T. Brown, First Lieut. Allen R. Richardson. Lieut. Richardson has been elected, but has not yet stood his examination and secured his commission and Second Lici t. Edward Bradford. Joe S.
