Phil Byrd Will Vtewiove to
South America.
i Oen PhU G. Byrd, adjutant general of
the Mate troopsi. will resign hia office and
commission, It la announced from Atlan
ta, within the next six week* and will re
tnove to South America, where he haa
agricultural inderrsts that demand his at
tention.
It is stated tha; Gen Byrd has been
commissioned for the full term of three
years, a version of hts ap|M>intment es
sentially different from the story first
sent out from Atl.into, when It was snhl
that he was to hold olflc# only until the
end of Gov. Candler'* preeent term,
which expires on Oct. 24
With the resignation of Oen. Byrd, with
which hi* 111-heaJth will have much to
do. the Governor will hwvo to face the
problem of appointing hia successor.
There ure Mid do be three principal Can
dida te in the field. Col William O
Obeur, the pre*#ni liii*pector general,
Capt. Good Joe Yancey, ami Col. Jamtw
W. |{ohert*>n No Kavannnh man has
been mentioned as a candidate for the
office, ami even If one could he indttced
to moke an effort to secure It. it is alto
gether improbable that he woukl be suc
cessful. Plums of this particular sort
-ire not wont to faH in thle section of the
state.
A* to the appointment of Inspector
General Obear there Is a very considera
ble difference of opinion In Savannah?
Some of the officer* of the military com
mands located here, s**m Inclined to
think h# would be n rood man for the
place, but there are others who oppose
hie selection very strenuously. They
begin by disliking him personally and
wind up by believing that his fondness
for r#d tape seems deatinr*! do expend it
self in such extensive use of that article
a?* will tie up the wheel* of military
progress. In plain term* these officers l>e
1m vh he will require of officers such quan
tities of umieceewary report* and "paper
work" as will mako commissions absolute
ly distasteful to the* sort of men to whom
they ought to he given.
In hi* report to the ndlutant general
the inspector general mnkea some reconi
mendationa that will commend themseive*
to every man in the state, who ha* the
welfare of the troop* at heart, whether he
iikes Col. Ohear or not. Among odher
things he says:
l pon several occasions of active duty,
namely. Andersonvtlle, Home and Mail
etta. it has l>een my pleasure a* well as
duty to accomitfiny the detachment* on
duty nnd I take pleasure in bearing tes
timony to the good work performed by
officer* and men. to their behavior, which
was ell that It should he. and to their
earnest, conscientious discharge of their
duty, which at beat Is a most delicate
one. The state has no more patriotic cltl
xen than those who voluntarily assume
the military role for the protection of
(he Interests of other* and the enforce
trrnt of the law* of their state In tlrn<
of trouble Yet I regret to record that it
I* known that mai have been dl*charged
from their situations by unpatriotic em
ployers for the specific reason that th#>
lost a <lay attending a duty call or the
fact that they were even connected with
the militia This 1* not a* It should h .
and It seems that these men who so un
se’flshlv serve their state in the military
sendee should be afforded some protection
in affairs of this nature,
“The personnel and discipline of the
state forces is very high, but It I* not vet
Just what It should and could be. es
pecially * so the officers. A* the officer
makes or mar* hi* command by his in
struction and example he should he most
carefully selected and thoroughly tested
for the duties and responsibilities which
his commission will br.ng upon him. This
I* already contemplated by law and to a
certain extent l* carried out In regula
tlon, bm the result* nr# not quit# a- sat
isfactory a* they should be. This Is due
to a large extent to the limited scope of
the examination for th#* line and regi
mental staff officers, whl h should be
enlarged to embrace all that this
'das* of officers should know It 1*
often the case that an officer makes a
high average In examination, nnd In prac
Hoe knows little or nothing of the !ut e*
his office, particularly l* th’* *rue of
the regimental ataff officer* who a e no
exahiined on any subject p r aining io
their special work. A re.tsonahe exami
nation should be provide*l and when *n
officer In commission does not show abili
ty to dfsx'hnrge the duties to which h**
has been assigned h# should be subject- and
lo an Investigation by the retiring b#rird
provided for In the eis of the lasi g n
eral a#xeml4y The standard of effi I n
ry must be raise#! and the commirston in
the state military service should mean
what It 1* Intended lo Imp!)—a ooldier and

visitors last week; but judging from our sales we caught
the buyers, and there in no reason why we shouldn’t
catch the buyers. Our store is filled to overflowing with
the newest and most fashionable fabrics that the mills
