Colored Man Shot in the Tien.
A shooting affair took place at Ocean
View yesterday afternoon about 2.80
o'clock. It originated from la fight
which occurred between two members
of the Guard and a negro named Abram
Larkins, an employe of the Seacoast
Railroad. In the fight one of the sol
diers was struck with a piece of
paling on the head, giving a flesh wound.
A detachment was sent over to bring
the parties to headquarters; but when
the negro saw the men coming he took
refuge in the garret of one of the board
ing houses at Ocean View. Three men
were sent up to bring him down, and as
soon as the door was opened, the negro
drew a pistol and began firing. The
men on. the shed and those on the ground
also fired several shots. No one was
hurt except the negro, who received
flesh wound in the calf of the, leg. He
was arrested and carried over! to camp,
where his wound was dressed, and he
was turned over to a detective named
Hunt, who brought Larkins to the city.
Justice Bunting recognized the negro to
appear before him this morning, and
issued warrants for the arrest of the
other parties in the affray.

During the forenoon the Newton

a serenade. They played finely, and
from the close attention by his Excel

of music.
The number of visitors in camp was
greatly in excess of any previous day,
especially in the afternoon, when every
train was loaded with passengers eager
to see the evening dress parade and the

it was the last day of the encampment

FAY ETT Ey I LLE INDEPENDENT LIGHT
INFANTRY.
Capt. W. R. Kenan, stated that there
was a certain military company in the
State which had disobeyed all laws and
regulations of the State Guard, and had
been dismissed from the service of the
State; yet, notwithstanding that action,
the company had been given an appro
priation of $250 by the Legislature,
which was not only an injustice, but a
reflection, upon the entire State Guard,
It was a matter that could not be si
lently submitted to by the other com
panies of the State Guard.
Col. J. T. Anthony endorsed the opin
ions expressed by Capt. Kenan, and
he further urged that it was the duty of
the military authorities of the State
Guard to require the Fayetteville Light
Infantry, on account of its resistance of
the regulations of the State Guard, to
return to the Quartermaster General all
guns, ammunition and other supplies,
which are now held by this company.
Adjutant General Glenn stated
that he loved the gray as much as any
one; that though he was too young him
self, to be in the late war, his father
gave his me tor the cause; but we are
now citizens of. the United States, and
the commander-in-chief had ordered
him to wear the blue, and he obeyed
orders most cheerfully. He thought
when the Fayetteville company refused
to obey orders and asked to be with
drawn from the Guard that they should
receive no aid from the State whatever;
that it was an insult to the State Guard,
who did obey orders, that this company
should, by special act, be given $250 for
doing nothing when there was a com
pany in the Guard that complied fully
with the regulations and got nothing.
The matter was further discussed
very spiritedly and the following com
mittee was appointed to prepare suita
ble resolutions upon the subject: Maj.
W. A. Bobbitt, Maj. Robert S. Young,
Col. J. T. Anthony, Lieut. Col. E. G.
Harrell, Capt. W. B. Rodman, Jr., Lieut.
J. W. Albertson, Jr., Brig. Gen. J. W.
Cotton.
On motion adjourned.
Immediately after adjournment the
last committee appointed met and pre
pared the following preamble and reso
lutions, which were unanimously adop
ted:
Whereas, The Fayetteville Inde
pendent Light Infantry has refused to
comply with and obey the laws and re
gulations governing the North Carolina
btate Guard and has, moreover, with
drawn from the State Guard.
Whereas, Notwithstanding such in
subordination and disobedience to the
highest military authority of the State,
which tends to disrupt the entire State
Guard, the Legislature of 1891 has made
an appropriation of $250 from the taxes
of the State for the Fayetteville Inde
pendent Light Infantry, and,
Whereas, All regular companies in
the btate uuard are required to pass
frequent thorough inspections by the
Inspector General, and comply strictly
with all regulations governing drill, in
order to obtain an appropriation from
the btate, which amount does not ex
ceed the special appropiation made the
Fayetteville company; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the North Caro
lina State Guard Association, 4 consider
such action by the General Assembly as
a direct insult and gross injustice to our
Commander-in-Chief and all the officers
and members of the State Guard.
Resolved, That the persistent efforts
made by the present Judge Advocate
General of the State Guard, who was a
member of the Legislature of 1891, to
secure . such an unjust appropriation,
was manifestly inconsistent with his po
sition as an honored officer of the State
Guard. .
Resolved, That we petition our Commander-in-Chief
to direct the Adjutant
General to withdraw from the Fayette
ville Independent Light Infantry all
arms, accoutrements and other property
now in its possession, as such supplies
are greatly needed by companies now
belonging to the State Guard, some of
the guns belonging to these companies
having been five times condemned by
the Inspector General as worthless and
unfit for service. "

The ollowing resolutions were also
adopted:
Resolved, That the sincere thanks of
the North Carolina State Guard Asso
ciation be tendered to Mrs. Frederick
Poisson and Mr. Edward Latimer, the
owners of "Kenmore" for the use of this
beautiful properto for the annual En
campment. Resolved, That the visit of the First

The meeting then adjourned.
THE GRAND' REVIEW.
At precisely 5 p. m. the troops march
ed out by regiments, and took their
places in line preparatory to the Grand
Review and dress parade. Gen. Cotton
and his two aides-decamp were mounted,
the horses having been kindly loaned
for the occasion by Chief of the Fire
Department, M. Newman, Mr. E. Kuh
blankof Portner's Brewing Co., and
Mrs. T. J. Southerland. The music was
furnished by the Second Regiment Band,
the Newton Band and the Gold Hill
Band, and to avoid anything that might
seem like an invidious comparison, they
all played very finely, considering the
numbers in the difierent organizations.
The review was a splendid success in .
every particular, and was the universal
theme of admiration by admiring crowd,
as they passed the reviewing stand in
column of companies.
dress parade.
The Brigade dress parade after the
passing review was a brilliant success.
Gen. Cotton commanded, and like
everything Gen. Cotton does, he did
well. In his handsome uniform and
mounted on a beautiful dashing horse
he presented a fine soldierly appearance.
He managed the brigade with marked
skill. The First Virginia Regiment
made a fine show and did some fine
drilling. The line of troops reached
across the parade field, there being about
1.200 men in it.
THE WALTER'S TROPHY
was won by Company B, Fourth Regi
mentthe Lincolnton Light Infantry
who made the highest average of the
whole brigade in the target contest.
Special mention was made of Company
A, Third Regiment, who made the
second best score. The ; trophy, which
is a very magnificent one, was presented
to the successful company by Gov. Holt
in a very appropriate and happy speech,
which was heartily applauded. The
fortunate company received many con
gratulations oh its brilliant record.
This contest will be a very interesting
and important feature of every encamp
ment.

young as ever, though the guards did
not think so night before last.
