I MAJOR BROWN IS SENT TO BORDER ORDERED TO PROCEED AT ONCE TO EL PASO TO TAKE UP DUTIES ON STAFF. ABOUT THE SOLDIER BOYS !Many Interesting Happenings Con cerning the National Guard in Camp at Morehead City Dally Drills for the Boys In Khaki. ' Camp Glenn, - Major S. Glenn Brown received or ders from the War Department to proceed at once to El Paso, Texas, to take up his duties on the staff of Gen eral Seibert, of the Ninth . Division. Major Brown will be In the ordnance department. Major Baxter Hunter, camp surgeon, who has also been de tailed for the divisional staff, Is ex pecting orders. The Ninth Division, it In understood, will be composed of the guardsmen of North Carolina, South Ce.rolina, Georgia. Florida and Ala bama. It was Intended originally to form a division out of the .Irst three states named, each state to furnish a brigade, but North Carolina la the only one of the three to furnish a full bri gade and the other states were added. Company A, Engineering Corps, N. C. N. G., of Wilmington, was muster ed Into the service of the United States by Major H. J. Hunt, senior mustering officer. Sixty-five men took the oath that binds them to- serve three years in the guard and three ad ditional years in the reserve. Major Hunt said that he expects Company B of Charlotte to report here within the next week. This company of engineers has been Inspected and acceptance has been Tecommended. Maj. E. F. Geddings, medical corps, ' United States army, ?amp Inspector, was ordered to Colum bia, S. C, to make an examination of an officer of the South Carolina Guard, who Is reported too ill to join his regi ment on the border. One of the passages from the life of Private Thomas V. Stroebel of Com pany D, First North Carolina Infan try: Stroebel Is 34 years-of age, is a na tvie of Chester, Pa., and was en route thence to Alabama on June 19. He got a morning paper that day at Jreensboro, and read the President's "call." He kept on to Charlotte, where he was a stranger, alight ed, went straight to the Armory, and answered the "call" by enlisting in Captain Parker's company. The days went by until just recently he appear ed at Captain Parker's tent. He stated Ills marriage intentions and got per mission from his commanding officer. Then telegrams began going and com ing between Camp Glenn and Chester, Pa., where his fiancee, Mrs. Johnson, lived, and where the two had singled their souls' thought and made their Tieart-beats one. Mrs. Johnson is a handsome widow, much younger than the groom, of ample fortune, touching the forty thousand mark, while Stroe bel himself has taken life by the fore lock in the accumulation of some $10,000. Stroebel will remain with the company, and spend his time 'twixt love and duty. The bride-to-be was on the way and along came the washout and the long wait at the station for the train. But Stroebel waited, like McGInty, with his best Sunday suit. For of the two uniforms Issued to him, one had been untouched. It was fresh and pan from the Philadelphia depot and Stroebel looked every inch the soldier as he Joined Mrs. Johnson for Beau fort down the way. The wait was long, but there was no blue Monday. The two became man and wife at Beaufort at the parsonage of the Bap tist minister, and then the hor.eymon. Do not forget that Capain Parker had tist minister, and then the honeymoon, gan ait Beaufort and will end at More head. Then the return! There is the cemetery at Beaufort with tombs 200 years old, one of the curiosities of which is a grave of a sailor who had himself buried standing straight typifying the upright life after death then Fort Macon and Bogue Sound, the lighthouse, the tumultuous surf with "the trough of the sea churned yellow." What a change from Ches ter! Company D bids welcome to the returning hero and heroine of this ro mance. For the once, for Mr. and Mrs. Stroebel, "grlm-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled frout." Ches ter and Charlotte Join hands In a flow ered dance of June, and stout-hearted comrades will have haversacks full of congratulations as strong with good red blood as were those for our gal lant major of the First Batallion who gave the First Regiment its first ro 22ajjcet with Stroebel's a close second. MajorHenry Norris, of the First in fantry js received a letter from his brotlAvaEl Paso, Texas, who says tha piitT North Carolina soldiers will be well cared for when they reach there. Water pipes have ben laid and all provisions possible are being made for their comfort. This is a striking contrast to the fate of those regiments called to the border first, who had to clear away cactus and undergrowth, and whose water allowance for all pur poses was tw quarts per day. Lieut. Joha E. R7 to ta Raislgh em of A young nan enlisted In Company L of the Second infantry, under the name of James I. Rowve, but whose real name was Robert Holloman, was killed by the "shuttle train" near the Third regiment camp. He was walk ing down the track in the direction of Morehead City, facing a driving rain, with his head bent down. The shut tle train backing in at a lively clip, struck him and he fell at the side of the track, one arm and his head across the rail. One car and half of another passed Qver him. Rowve, or Holloman, enlisted tit Washington and waa sent to camp to Join the Raeford company, G of the Sedond. He was transferred from that company to company L. He had served In the Tarboro company, A of the Second, as Robert Holloman, and had not completed his enlistment. It is understood that he changed bis name in order to enlists in another company. He is survived by his ..fa ther, who lives at Suffolk, Va.; a sister. Mrs. John Carlyle. of .Washingtc N. C' andprobably other close relatives. Only a few persons saw the acci dent. It Is generally agreed that on account of, the strong and heavy rain the young man did not see the train in time to avoid being struck. The con ductor, porter and a police officer on the hear platform saw him and called to him, but he did not seem to hear. Three commissions in the North Car olina National Guard were Issued yes terday frpm the office of the adjutant general. Second Lieutenant Joseph 13. Thorpe, Greensboro, was promoted to first lieutenant and assigned to the Third Company Coast Artillery Corps. Master Gunner James R. Townsend, Coast Artillery staff, was promoted to "econd lieutenant and assigned to the Third Company Coast Artillery Corps. John H. Trescot was appointed second lieutenant of engineers and assigned to Company B, Charlotte. Captain John H. Manning and Lieu tenants Paul Cantwell and J. A. Cur rle, of the Second re-iment, left camp for a five days' recruiting trip. Both the second and third regiments stand In. need of recruits. The Second has 764 enlisted men and the Third 803. The first leads with SD1. In a memorandum received here, the war department announces that an other examination of candidates of all classes for appointments as second lieutenants in the United States army will be held October 16. It is stated that enlisted men who desire to take the examination, will not be required to take any preliminary examination. Those legally qualified on that date will be reported to the headquarters Eastern department to be authorized to take the final examinations as pre scribed in general orders No. 29, war department, 1916, without passing pre- I Hmlnary examinations required by the war department orders. All officers are notified that extra care must be taken in reporting on qualifications of enlisted men for commissions in the army, as the matter of passing on the character and habits of each candidate Is left principally to the officers under whom he has served. The holding of another examination and the "letting down of the bars" as to the prelimi nary examinations, is taken to mean that the army is badly in need of sec ond lieutenants. An examination was held August 23 and another was not due until next spring. General Young, with the assistance of Captain Sharp, of the regular army has worked out a schedule of drills and exercises for the brigade. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week the forenoon period will be devised as follows: Company close order drills, thirty minutes; bayonet exercise, twenty minutes; setting up exercises, fifteen minutes; company extended order drill, thirty minutes; preliminary or der, arrangements and deployment for advance guard outposts, etc.. seventy five minutes; battalion drill, twenty minutes. The afternoons will be giv en to Instruction In first aid, signal ing, tent pitching, sketching, patrol ling, non-commissioned schools, lec tures to companies and battalions by selected officers and officers school Tuesdays will be given over to regi mental marches, field manoeuvres and camping, and on Thursdays there will be brigade marches and maneuvers. The removal of other state troops from the border makes room for those who have not yet been down. While ether states sent men to the border in the first rush, green and poorly equip ped, no pains have been spared to equip the men at Camp Glenn up to the standard required by the army and to give them as thorough train ing as possible. . In the meantime sev eral carloads of equipment known to be on the way have not arrived. Transportation facilities, according to the officials of the Norfolk Southern have already been arranged for. The necessary number of cars of all kinds, necessary for the removal of ' the troops, have been ordered to be held ready for use at Camp Glenn on very short notice. It will require, it Is un derstood, about three days for the troops to get in motion after the orders are received. After more than two months of camp life, the threo thousand or more men nt Camp Glenn are ready to move. Taking into consideration that over 5 per cent of the men to begin with were raw recruits, and the additional fact that part of the old men thus left were discharged because of dependent relatives, the progress made by them has been remarkable. Plenty of work, fresh air and able leadership has transformed the wavering, awkward companies into snappy organizations that will stand p with the other Na tffratl Guard companies of the country. GUILFORD COUNTY GOOD ROADS DAY EXERCISES AT GREENSBORO AND HIGH POINT ATTENDED BY OVER 20,000. DR. D. W. DANIEL SPEAKER Long Auto Parade Opened Program. -fHIgh Point Man Gets $50 Prize i " .

The attendance from the rural districts was very large, showing the great in terest among all classes of citizens in building permanent roads. -The address of Dr.. Daniels of Clemson College, S. C, was pro nounced a gem. The parade started ,in Greensboro at 10 o'clock, went over the city and then to High Point; and, returning, the automobillsts stopped at the fair grounds where the principal exer- I cises of the day were held.. At Cobb's farm the automobiles were lined up two abreast, one High Point car and one Greensboro car, and the journey continued to the Fair Grounds. . It;wa.sa great day for Guilford county , people! and fully 20,000 were estimated to have attended. The first prize of $50 went to S. C. Clark, of Hi;h Point, for the best decorated car. Jr. O. U. A.

All of the above officers were unan imously elected. , Pasquotank County Progressing. Elizabeth City. Pasquotank county can now proudly boast of her rank among the progressive counties of the state in farm life activities. At the monthly meeting of the coun ty commissioners the appropriation for a full time home demonstrator and can ning club agent was made. Pasquotank county now boasts with pride of a full time home demonstra tor, a full time farm demonstrator, Corn Club boys, Pig Club boys, Can ning Club girls, and Is looking toward the organization of Poultry Clubs this fall and the eventful establishment of a Farm Life School. Wheat and Rye for Catawba. Hickory. There wil be more wheat and rye sown in Catawba this fall, ac cording to seed dealers and farmers, than ever before, partly on account of the great loss occasioned to corn lands by the July flood. Especially will the number of acres devoted to rye be increased, farmers hoping to obtain good pasturage far Into the winter. The hay crop, according to John W. Rob inson, president of the big creamery, was never better, and nv.Tiy acres of eas have been mown. Mt. Gilead Has New Schoolhouse. Mount Gilead. Many of our citia ens were made glad as they assem bled in the auditorium of the new school building at the opening of the school term when they realized fully that their dreams of long years had materialized a- 1 that they were the owners of a magnificent $25,000 school building.

Oklahoma Leader-Interesting Tabulation of Figures. Raleigh. North Carolina gained in capital investments between the years of 1909 and 1914, a total of $36,656,000 or a percentage of 16.9, whereas the percentage of increase in value of manufactured products was $72,856,000 or 33.6 per cent. Theaverage for the 16 states and the District of Columbia comprising the South for this corresponding pe riod was 20.8 percentage of increase in capital investments and 19.2 per cent of inerease of manufactured out put. It will therefore be seen that while North Carolina was slightly behind the average of the other states in in crease of capital investments, it was far ahead of the average in the value of manufactured v output, ranking sec ond in this respect in the entire terri tory. These figures are gleaned from the government reports and afford Inter esting reading. In North Carolina in 1909 there were 4,931 manufacturing establish ments as against 5.507 In 1914, with a capital Investment of $217,186,000 in 1909 as compared with $252,842,000 in 1914 and having a manufactured out put in 1909 of $216,656,000 as compared with $289,412,000 in 1914. Oklahoma showed the greatest gain In this period of capital investments, while Arkansas showed the smallest. In percentage of increase In value of manufactured products Oklahoma led again with North Carolina second. Waterway Delegates Named. . Raleigh.

Citizens Rebuild Bridges. Shelby. CitizenB accustomed to using the Weaver bridge across the river south of Shelby" grew, impatient waiting on the county commissioners to rebuild the bridge which was wash ed away during the flood in July and built a temporary crossing them selves, buying the material from the money raised by popular subscription. The commissioners have been unable to get a bridge man to take the dam aged bridge out until a few days ago. Catawba Has State Record. Newton. Ten thousand, seven hun dred and seventy persons have been given the anti-typhoid serum in the health - campaign brought to a close here by Dr. Thomas M.

The work was so unex pectedly heavy that Dr. Jordan had to have assist him Dr. C. L. Hunsucker of Hickory and Dr. Fred T. Foard. Jr., and then the physicians had theh hands full. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS. There is an amendment to thb charter of The Cllnchfield Mfg. Co., of Marion, whereby there is provision for the issuance of $200,000 additional common stock of the corporation.

SELLERS, Acting: Director of j the Sunday School Course of the Moody ! Bible Institute, Chicago.) I (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 17 PRISONER IN THE CASTLE. LESSON TEXT Acts 22. GOLDEN TEXT-He is my refuge and ny fortress. I's. 91:2. Paul was rescued from the mob by the prompt action of Lyslas, and was saved from scourging by revealing his Roman citizenship (21:27-22:29). Every true life, real social service, pa Tlotism and national righteousness rest upon the value of conversion to Christ. The fundamental messuge of the Christian church must always be regeneration. With this message Billy Sunday Is gripping the large cities, and Dr. John It.'Mott is reaching the student life of the world. I. Paul;s Account of His Early Life (v. 1-5). By his use of the Greek tongue he obtained permission to deliver this address, and by his wise use of the Jewish language he gained the atten tion of the excited crowd. Paul as serted his Jewish origin. (Acts 21-39). Tarsus, where he was born, had a uni versity which rivaled those of Athens and Alexandria, and Paul had probably heard Its great philosophers. Paul was an educated man; he was brought up in Jerusalem from his early boyhood at the feet of Gamaliel Its greatest teacher. Thus his religious training was according to the law of the. fa thers, and as "touching the righteous ness which Is of the law," he was blameless (Phil, 3 :6). He was zealous for God, doing what he thought he would have him do even wheu "perse cuted this way," the way of forgive ness, salvation and righteousness. Jesus said, "I am the way." Paul was at this time an instrument In the hands of the rulers, carrying out their plans, but he exceeded them in his zeal for 'the traditions of our fathers ((Sal. 1:14). He was not at all like those Pharisees whom Christ condemned as "white sepulchers." He was not what we would term today, "a bad man." II. Paul's Turning Point vv. G-21). Paul seems to pick out three different crises In this rehearsal. (1) Ills Inter view with Christ, when he saw Jeus as he really was In his glory, a living risen Savior (Cor. 9:1; 15.8). He had positive proof of the resurrection from the dead. This proof convicted him of sin. He had heard Jesus call. lie had asked Jesus what he would have him to do. He was ready to obey, und something was given him to do. The light which he met on that journey ar rested him In his mad course. The voice gave him his directions. In obedi ence to the command, "Arise and go," he gained knowledge and skill. (2) He lights upon his interview with Ananias (v. 14) where he received personal help from an experienced Christian. In the darkness and conflict of those three days of loneliness the questions must have been : Could he leave rank, honor, friends? Could he enter the service of the despised one and suffer reproach, danger and death? During this con flict he must have had before him the vision of what God would have him do, and the work for which he chose hi in (vv, 1G-18). His vision and commission constituted a strong motive for right decision. During the vision he came Into the light, and confessed his faith by his baptism. As a result of those three days and his interview with Ananias he came to know God's will more fully. The next step was of course (3) his public avowaj. (See Acts 2:38; Heb. 10:22; Rom. 10:13; I Cor. 0:11). The purpose of Raul's whole life and mission was changed. III. Paul's Dangerous Position (vv. 20-30). The mob gave him audience until his words ubout the Gentiles. Ills declaration that God had, commanded him to go upon a mission to the Gen tiles was an offense to the Jews, and his words fell like a "spark upon an inflammable mass of fanaticism." They broke out Into a frenzy of excitement, and made preparations to stone him. An Oriental mob Is hideous beyond de gree, howling, yelling, cursing, gnash ing their teeth, flinging their arms, custing off their garments (v. 23), throwing dust Into the air to relieve their excitement and to express their execration. It was a manifestation of their uncontrollable rage. The opposi tion of a mob Is no proof that the person it curses is wrong. Immediately preparations stopped. The commander was called, and, learn ing that Paul was a free-born Roman citizen, he had cause to be afraid- that he had gone too far. To assert Roman citizenship falsely was punishable with death. The chief captain told Paul that with a great sum be had obtained his Roman citizenship, but Paul's reply was, "But T am Roman bora." Cream Cake.
