A1KE> CAMP PROBLEMS.
Recommends that Georgetown and
Horry Companies be Reim|
foursed.
Columbia, S. . July 2S.?Governor
Blease is in receipt of a report
* from Col. Julius E. Cogswell covering
the recent encampment of the 3d regiment
in Aiken and the incidents con
nected with the departure of the!
Barnwell, Bamberg and Orangeburg
? companies from camp after they were
ktf thre only three days. Col. Cogswell
p reports that rhe Georgetown and HorL
ry companies served without pay and
1 paid for their own transportation and
I 'sibsistence because they did not have
L the required minimum, and recomm
mends that all these companies be
W reimbursed.
' The report of the colonel of the 3d
regiment will be interesting and is
as follows:
Col. Cogswell's Report
iieaaquarters raira s. u. imauu-j,
Charleston, S. C., July 25, 1913.
\ The Hon. Cole. L. Blease, Governor,
J Columbia. S. C.?Dear Sir: Owing to
B the uncertainties as to whether there
W would be an encampment and the
very short notice given .the regiment
to prpare for it (only four days, including
Sunday,) coupled with the
fact that the members of the regiment
are business men, who have to arrange
their civil or bread-winning affairs
in advance and non-profit bearing
duties as militiamen, the 3d re*
giment was forced by circumstances
B to go into camp with depleted numf
bers.
J The companies, which were short in
^ numbers, believed, and in my judgment
had good reasons for believd
ing, they wold be furnished transw
portation and subsistence by the
? 1 4. U ^
f United States government or me
State. Soon after arrival in camp,
iowever, Lieut. Boswell, U. S. A.,
representing the government, and
Brig. Gen. W. W. Moore, the adjutant
general, representing the State, informed
me there would be no pay,
^AT*
transportation nor suusisteii^c iUi
any company of less than the prescribed
minimum number, viz., 38
men and two officers. The disbursing
officer, Col. 0. W. Babb, was not
in camp at the time, but he later
f agreed with the above so far as the
United States government was concerned.
Called Conference.
I promptly called into conierence
the company commanders of the companies
concerned, viz, companies E,
Barnwell, F, Georgetown; H. Conway,
1, Bamberg, and L., Orangeburg.
We discussed the matter for two
hours but could make no impression
on Lieut. Boswell, who claimed that j
0T he was present only in an advisory
^ capacity, nor on the adjutant general.
I did not have in camp all the orders
issued by the adjutant general,
but I quoted as nearly as I could
from, memory General Order No. 30,
< paragraph 4, A. G. 0. C. S., to the ef*
feet that transportation and subsisi
tence would be provided out of the
company's share of the State appro
priation, but to no avail, me aaju- i
tant general stood firm and would not
allow subsistence. He denied that
genral order No. 30 was issued by
him.
No Service Without Food.
f
All the men in the companies in
question were perfectly willing to
serve without pay, but it was a physical
impossibility for them to serve
eight days without food. Company L.
Orangeburg, was, in my judgment,
particularly oppressed. During tne
( spring inspection Company L. came
up to the standard required by the
United States government and was
so reported. Upon my requesting that
they be allowed subsistence and have
same taken out of their State allowp
ance the adjutant general (for the
first time I believe) announced that
Company L had not come up to the
standard required by the State and
that they would not receive any part
of the State appropriation. It was
this that made Capt. Claffy say he
thought he had better take his company
home. It was impossible for
f me to hold them in camp without
fnnri <?n t had to consent most re
luctantly, to allow them to return.
Company L. Bamberg, had no officer
present to represent them nor handle
them; they had to go home.
Company E, Barnwell, first tried to
remain, but later touna mat uie>
could not arrange to procure subsistence
/or themselves, so I had to let
them go.
Companies F, Georgetown, and H.
Conway, who were short the required
thirty-eight men, determined to remain.
They not only served without
nr.*? unswprin? pffinientlv everv de
mand made upon them, but they patriotically
furnished their own food at
their own personal expense.
Wanted to Know Weak Point*
As to the deficiencies of the com
panies reported to the war depart
ment as deficient after spring's in-:
spection, I wrote the adjutant general j
on May S, May 20 and July 11, asking
him to furnish me a statement of I
tlifleo en T nil o-h t inTf>l 1 io^pntl V !
i. V/ t "J ij 1 Hi I ^ 4* (? m vv *&? ^ v. m v?^
endeavor to have them corrected. A ;
knowledge on my part of these "de-!
fects" would have been of inestima- ;
I
ble advantage to me and to these
companies on this recent camp of j
instruction. Unfortunately I have !
not yet received this statement of j
these "defects." If we cannot find i
out what they are we will probably 1
make the same mistake again when j
these companies are given their se-1
cond chance under Mr. Garrison's :
agreement.
As to the government's liability for
subsistence, I tried to argue, from
memory only, Bulletin Xo. 13, page
16, war department current series,
but not having the data with me in I
the field, I failed to impress Lieut j
Boswell and later, on the arrival of'
Col. Babb, I found that he viewed the j
matter from the same viewpoint as !
Lieut. Boswell?he would not pay for j

A Condition, Not a Theory.
I was confronted by a condition, not
a theory. I believe I had right on
our side, but rights and arguments
without food wil1 not stave off starvation;
I allowed the men to go home.
I would respectfully request that;
such steps as are proper be taken to
pay promptly Companies F and H
for eight days' subsistence, and
Companies E, I, and L, for three days'
subsistence.
The 3d regiment was the first to
go into camp just as it was the first
to be inspected last spring?the pion- j
eer, so to speak?in this the first year j
when the letter of the requirements
would be insisted on. We knew not
that we would be subjected to such,
rigid requirements. Orders had never
before been so strictly enforced. In
other States I am informed the same
proposition of short-comings were
found in the first regiments in camp,
but the State paid for the subsistence
and transportation. The adjutant
Cronos! nf Smith Carolina, however,
^ WilVl Ui VI N^W%V4Jk WW*? f could
not find means to. do this.
With only four days to get ready
for camp after so many uncertainties,
I think we did well. The other South
Carolina regiments have had the benefit
of our experience and have had
more time to prepare. I trust they
will meet every requirement.

Governor Blease addressed the following
in answer to Col. Cogswell's
letter:
Col. Julius E. Cogswell, Charleston,
s n?Dear Colonel: Your letter of
July 25 received.
I was sure you were doing what
you thought was right, ,and I most
heartily approve of each and every
one of your acts and I wish I had a
man with as much military training,
with as much backbone and with as
much brains for adjutant general.
I will try and have the matters
mentioned attended to as early as
possible.
I am also endeavoring to get the
three companies to encamp with the
2d regiment.
I hope that you will find it personally
convenient to visit the other
camps and give them the benefit of
your long service and training.
Undost personal regards,

In South Carolina only bbo peopie
were treated for hookworm in the
year 1910. 1911 there ^vere 5,020
people treated for it. In 1912 there
were 36,110 treated for it. This is a
pretty fair illustration of the increase
in number each year in other States:
In Mississippi 824 took the treatment
in 1910, while 35,099 took it in 1911
and 44,178 last year. In the Southern

Thursday a gentleman from
Quitman, Ga., apparently in middle
life, who asked to see the governor.
He was asked his name by Mr. Blackburn,
stenographer, and in reply
handed the attache of the office a card
on which was engraved "W. R.
Blease," Needless to say the stranger
was admitted.
Away back in 1877, this same W. R.
Elease, then a young boy, left his
hr?mp nf Newherrv and went to Quit
man, Ga., where he started a farm.
He is a son of Capt. Basil Blease and
a first cousin of Governor Blease.
From the time that young Blease left
this State 36 years ago until he
walked into +}\z governor's office yesterday
C. L. aid W. R. Blease had not

he would have known the other.

Parks a Real Benefit.
Wilmington Star.
Give thought to the subject of parks
for the people. There is a great deal
more in it than might be imagined off
hand. Wilmington hasn't reached the
point, perrr.ps where the need of
parks has become serious, but unless
it provides such places, the time will
come. The proximity of the beach,
easy facilities for getting out, has relieved
a situation that would even
nrx-ar ho nthpTiwise felt keenlv. but
there are a great many people who
can't afford the beach outings that
numerous others enjoy and thir.fc
nothing of. Nearly every city is
realizing how much parks mean to
the citizenship and efforts are being
made nearly everywhere for an extension
of these profitable pleasure
grcunds. Says the Times Dispatch:
"Richmond is waking up to the tremendous
value of parks. Our growth
demands more breathing space; our
congestion seeks outlet in public
squares where private yards and gardens
no longer exist. Even the vacant
lot is gone. We are also learning the
worth of parks to keep folks in working
trim and to preserve health, both
of body and morals. We are using the
parks?that is why there are a lot of
park problems. We rejoice in the difficulties.
They certainly mean public
interest in more, better equipped and
beautiful public grounds."
Wilmington has taken some steps
in the matter, and development ought
* - * ?.? ~ 4.
to be rapid. Tlie parK property m
Greenfield Lake should be developed
right a Jong Evenings there amid
pleasant surroundings, spiced with
public concerts, would go far toward
banishing monotony and discontent,
make people happier, toucn up me.
At the rate the city is growing, there
is no time to be lost in securing ample
par* facilities now. The ladies
who waged such a vigorous though
unsuccessful campaign for a children's
playground sometime back,
should not let the subject, die.

HIS BANK ACCOUNT.
The Experiences of a Brave Young
Man.
Chapter 1.
"So you are the brave young man
who saved my daughter's life in the
automobile accident?" observed Alex|
ander Van Millyn, the great financier.
"Yes," admitted ArcniDaia icsamsu,
modestly. "Though I am penniless I
wish to marry your daughter."
"It sems to me that under the circumstances
you should have her,"
mused Van Millyn. "You saved her
life, and therefore, in a measure she
belongs to you. I cannot, however,
give Doanna to a man who is enI
tirely without financial means. Come
I tn mp whpn von have a bank ac
1 count of $1,000 and I will give you my
daughter. Good-bye."
Chapter 2.
Archbald Stanish was in despair.
"Forty-five cents in my pocket, and
he wants me to show him a bank ac[
count," he wailed.
"Hello, old chap," cried a voice.
Stanish turned and saw his boyhood
friend, Harry Diging.
"Come along with me," said Diging.
"I just made some money on
the stock exchange. Take supper
with me.'"
"I really don't care for supper,"
replied Stanish, mournfully. "You
can do me a great favor, though. Just
loan me the tip you intend to give
the waiter."
"Sure, old fellow," answered Diging,
and he handed Stanish $200.
Chapter 8.
"I wish to open an account,' began
Stanish, nervously. "My first deposit
will be $200. I would like to
have a check book. Thanks."
"Tom, will you cash my personal
check for $200?" asked Stanish nervously.
"Certainly," replied Tom Bailey,
