ADJIT.tXT TO HRMOV 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 a gentleman. ** f n TfIK H\ 11410 AD WORLD.
