Columbia, Dec. 15.?At a conference |
of military officers, neld in Governor
1 <
Blease's office, the military situation
in this State was gone over, and a re- '
view of the situation, following the '
conference, shows that Governor.!
Blease has won a complete victory j
in his light for the militia. There ;'
were present at the conference Briga-j,
dier General Wilie Jones, Colonels !
i
Lewis, Lipscomb and Cogswell, of the
three regiments, and Assistant Adju- ,
tant General Oscar W. Babb.
It will be recalled that as a result i
1 !
of/the recent re-inspection of tae so- !
?alled ""deficient'' twelve companies, '
Wwiich. re-inspection was demanded by I
srnvernnr. seven of the companies !
i" were found in such improved and sat- |
isfactory condition that the war de-!
I J
partment, while criticising the companies
in some particulars, no longer !
requested that they be mustered out.
The war department requested that >
only five of the original thirteen be !
II
mustered out. These five companies i,
are tne Barnwell, Chesterfield, Bam- j
berg, Conway and Bennetts\Ille com- j
panies. Repi esentatives of these com- ?j
wore hprnrp the conference, i
and it was agreed that Chesterfield ;
and Bamberg should be mustered out. j
u Cheraw, in the same county with j j
^ Chesterfield, has a new company j
which will take Chesterfield's place, j
and Woodruff will be mustered in j
to take Bamberg's place. Tne Barn- j
well, Conway and Bennettsville companies
will be mustered out, but new t
companies will immediately be orga- :
nized in these same towns to take !
their places. Representatives of tne j
i other companies, which passed the j
r re-inspection, were also present, and j
-tvzsi-o ?nthn?iastif in their de- !
termination to get to work and bring '
their companies up to/the highest standard.

as a result of the fight made Jay tne j
% governor, in which he had the assis- j
lance of the brigadier general, the j
three colonels, and the assistant ad- j
jutant general, and the sympathy of j
L practically the entire national guard,

W ganization in the two houses should ,
consume very little time, and work
' will probably begin right away. Three ,
, members of the legislature have died

V of Mr. S. O'Quin, of Marion, and the
W appointment of Mr. J. Mack King, of
W Anderson, as supervisor, have caused '
four other vacancies, so that there
will be seven new members or the next
legislature.
There has been some newspaper j
talk about a fight during the coming |
session between the legislature and j
the ^Svernor. if there is any founda- j
ftion for sucn talk, it must come from j
members of the legislature, for cer-j
tainly the governor has not, either by j
word or deed, given any ground for
any such prediction. As matter of!
fact, if there is any fight it will be i
started by tae legislature, but there !
' i
seems to be no foundation for the (

PnlnmKvi Q P Dpf- IS.? Senator
V __
B. R. Tillman is intensely interested in
political news in South Carolina and
slose friends of his admit that he is
?oing to use herculean efforts next
summer to try and defeat Governor
Cole L. Blease in his race against
Senator E. D. Smith. The senior
senator is writing letters to his
friends all over South. Carolina and
is daily getting reports from every
county, so those who have seen him
in Washington say.
It is tiie general understanding that
Senator Tillman plans to make several
speeches next summer against Governor
Blease and if he takes the
stump he will become the central
figure in the most intensely interesting
political drama ever enacted in
South Carolina. Governor Blease
says that he hopes Senator Tillman
A 1 in-rtinct V* 1 m T-T o
Will TcIKe me Stump agaiuob mui.
says that he will meet him wherever
Tillman may indicate and he proposes
to tell the people of South
Carolina what he thinks of Senator
Tillman and his opinion of him.
Governor Blease says that the senior
senator is an "ingrate." He says that j
Tillman is under the influence of his |
former enemies and is really not the j
Tillman he was before he suffered the
stroke of paralysis. He sftys Senator
Tillman has lest his hold with the people
and is a "dead" politically.
Friends of Senator Tillman insist
that >.e is still the same magnetic and
invincible leader of old and that if he
could get on tiie stump and talk to the
people that he could beat Blease or
anybody else. They refuse to admit
that he has lost the affections of the
"wool hat and one-gallus boys", which
were the flower of his strength in the
nineties when he came out of Edgefield,
a rugged farmer, overturned the
old political ring and went into the
office of governor at the head of a!
vvavp whir.h nantured everv State of- >
fice, the legislature, the judiciary and !
almost every county office.
It is stated from close friends of j
Senator Tillman that he proposes to j
use his utmost endeavors and to do j
his all to beat Governor Blease and j
keep him out of the-United States !
senate. They say nis health is steadi- j
ly improving and that he is almost j
again as strong and vigorous as be.
was before he suffered his first
stroke of paralysis.
Senator Tillman has already come !
out in favor of the re-election of
L'nited States Senator E. D. Smith and
has urged former Senator John L. McLaurin
to take the stump and help beat
Governor Blease.

To toe Editor of The State:
Your editorial in today's paper on
"Simplicity*' in regard tor lawyers'
language hits the mark. All this multiblied
redundancy and bombast in!
forms of law is tiresome in the extreme.
Good law is said to be con>mon
sense but some of the briefs
httnripH nut to us seem to have the
other kind. Let us have some ino^e j
of your editorials along the line of
simplicity in that and other directions.
Wise people use simple language.

A Severe Loss,
Mr. D. C. Spearman, a farmer who
has been running the Hagood place in
Saluda county for the past year or
two for its owners, C. .T. Purcell and
H. H. Evans, met with a seveve loss
Thursday night. He was moving backto
his own farm, a mile beyond Helena,
and had brought over 400 bushels
of corn. 300 bales of hay, all the meat
of the hogs he 'had butchered this
winter and other things and stored
them in a barn on the place. Early
Thursday night the barn caught fire j
and its contents were completely!
destroyed. The loss is more than j
I.(' and there \v'as no insurance, j

ClIlZfcNS RECALL
ORANGEBURG MAYOR
GOV. BLEASE ORDERS AN ELECTION
FOR DECEMBER 30.
First Time the Recall Has Been Invoked
in South Carolina.
mViio rioflomhor 151 \Tit Vflf R
F. Bryant and Councilman Henry Von
Ohsen, of the city of Oranget"-,rg. have
been "recalled" by a petition signed
by 100 citizens of Orangeburg filed
this morning in the office of Governor
Blease. The governor under the
commission form government act, has
ordered that an election for successors
to Mayor Byrant and Councilman
Von Ohsen be held in Orangeburg 011
Tuesday, December 30.
The commission form of government
under which Orangeburg is governed
nrnviries that 011 netition of 20 ner
cent of the qualified voters at tae last
election any official may be recalled
and the governor is empowered, when
such a petition is filed, to order an
election to fill the places of tae recalled
officers. The allegations made by
the petitioners against -Mayor Bryant
and Councilman Von Ohsen are two:
That they are temperamentally disqualified
to fill tiie duties of .heir offices
and that they continued a policeman
in office over the protests of citizens
alleging brutality and indiscretion
against the policeman.
Flrsl Tsft of Kecaii.
There wo.e 469 votes c:i6l ior mayor
t
in the election at which Mayor Bryant
was chosen and the petition is signed
by 100 qualified voters, as set forth in
an affidavit from .John F. Blanche,
clerk of the election board of managers.
The election on December 30
will be conducted by the managers
and under the laws as other elections.
As far as known this is the first time
the recall has been invoked in South
Carolina in any municipality. Columbia,
Spartanburg, Orangeburg, Sumter,
Florence are cities in which the
commission form of government has
replaced the old aldermanic method,
and Orangeburg like the others, has
the initiative, the referendum and the
recall in its charter.
Mayor Bryant and Councilman Von
Ohsen nave only been in office a few
months, the commission plan being
adopted at an election held only a
few months ago.
Because of its being the first time
the1 recall has been invoked in the
State the result of the Orangeburg
election will be watched with great
interest.

issue of the Commercial bank. Read

an original idea to increase the sales ]

The advertising department of this i

with this department, J
whereby each person upon the pay- 1
ment of 5 cts is entitled to receive any i
where from not less than one package
and up to a box of twenty for each
