Our State Guard.
We very much hope that the move
ment to cut down the appropriation
to our State Guard will not prevail
and that this noble band of patriotic
citizen soldiery will long continue the
efficient pride of oar state. We know
that t her is a wide spread notion
that because we are in the midst of
profound peace, there is really no use
for an appropriation to keep the
guard on a high grade. This U not
the proper view of the matter, in our
opinion The old adaere, that ''in
time of paee prepare for war," comes
in with much force just here. We all
know that we live in variable times
In fact in this age it ia almost impos
sible on diy to foretell what may
happen the next While North Car
olina enjoys the enviable reputation
of being one of the most peaceable
commonwealths in the union, yet an
emergency may arie that would re
quire the putting forth of the strong
military arm
As we understand it, the present
appropriation is a very moderate one,
inferior to that in most of the states
for similar purposes, and to cut this
down now is indeed bad policy. We
hope the law may be allowed to,
stand as it is.
