but, according to Mr. Weeks there

The number of witnesses to be ex

"It is not unlikely," said the assis
tant district attorney “that when Mrs.
Carman appears on Monday before
Coroner Norton, who will then be act
ing In the capacity of Justice of the

that time Mrs. Carman’s attorney will

AUGUSTA
CAMP
Adi’t Gen’l of South Carolina
Regrets Exceedingly That the
Governor Has Barred Troops
Traveling Through the Pal
metto State
Atlanta, Ga. —Differences existing be
tween Governor Blouse, of South Caro
lina. and the war department are respon
sible for the governor's refusal to allow
the state troops of Georgia and North
Carolina to pa tut through South Carolina
to the proposed Joint encampment in
Augusta, Ga.. this month.
The war department recently withdrew
no invitation to the South Carolina
militia to participate in the encamp
ment because they did not meet the re
quirements of the Dirk militia law in the
matter of equipment and number of en
listed men In the various grades.
Previous Trouble.
Trouble had previously arisen between
the governor and the secretary of war
over the location of the proposed en
campment on the Isle of Palms at Char
leston, S. C. Secretary Garrison final
ly peremptorily transferred the camp to
Augusta.
Ihe thing Is that practically every
state has a law prohibiting the troops of
other states from entering, under arms,
upon its sovereign territory. Ceom'a
has a law like this. South Carolina has
one, too.
Recently Adjutant-General Nash wtj
advised of the touring selected bv the
Savannah and Elberton guardsmen,
throng.i a part of South Carolina near
the bordfT.
Having the law In mind, he wrote a
formal note to the adjutant general of
South Carolina, asking the necessary
permission that usually Is given per
functorily.
“Permlsllon Is respectfully requeste 1
for such troops of the national guard of
this state to enter the state of South
Carolina going to and returning from the
ramp at Augusta. *’ wrote General Nash,
“as may obtain the benefit of a more
direct route of travel thereby.*
Reply Came Back.
Wednesday came back this from Ad
jutant-General William W. Moore, of
South Carolina:
“The matter was referred to the gov
ernor for his signature. The order was
returned to the department by the gov
ernejr with the statement that he would
sign no further orders until the military
situation In this stats Is cleared up with
the war department.
“I regret exceedingly that the gover
nor has taken such a position and that
this courtesy cannot be formally granted
to you."
