WATKINS ALIAS. WILLIAMS.
Taken to Salem, Va.t to be Tried for the
Murder of bia "Wife.
Sheriff G. W. Zirke. of Salem, Va.,
arrived here Thursday night, and yes
terday visited the county jail for the
purpose of identifying Charles Watkins
alias Williams, a colored man wanted
in Salema., for the murder of his
wile. Deputy Sheriff Webber arrived
last night from Raleigh with the requi
sition papers for Watkins return to
Salem, and the officers with their pris
oner left for that place last night.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed April 6. 1 1891. Watkins,
who is a mulatto, brutally murdered his
black wife in a secluded hollow of the
mountains near Salem, and then es
caped. Watkins had a white paramour
who followed him from the West. She
was lodged in jail for awhile and then
discharged; and returned home. On
the 20th of April the Governor of Vir
ginia offered a reward of $100 for the
capture of Watkins, and Detective Hen
ry A. Webber has been working quietly.
and only recently ascertained that- Wat
kins had tramoed over two hundred
miles to get to Wilmington, where ne ex
pected to take a vessel for Europe, but
in the meantime had been writing to his
friends for money which was to be sent
to him under the alias of S. G. Wil
liams. . M
Watkins' identity has been fully es
tablished, and there is every probability
that he will be hanged for the murder
he committed. !

THURSDAY NIGHT.
There was but little rest or chance
for quietude in camp on Thursday night
It was to be the last night and the boys
made the most of it in fact made a
night of it. There was no quarrelling, but
all was good natured fun "till you could
not rest.
Early yesterday morning the boys
began to pick up, pYeparator to
BREAKING CAMP.
An early breakfast was prepared and
eaten, and then equipments were ad
justed, the lines formed, and before 8
a. m. the soldiers of the State Guard
had all left Camp Fowle, with nothing
but the tents and kitchens left to show
where they had passed a week of mili
tary life.
Gen. Cotton and staff and the staff of
the Commander-in-Chief, with the ex
ception of Col. Olds, left at about the
same time. The latter officer has or
ders to remain until after the Encamp
ment of the Veterns, when he, too, will
leave. He is an indefatigable worker,
and was as busy as he well could be yes
terday in making every arrangement
possible for the comfort and conve
nience of the veterans when they shall
arrive. In the haste and confusion of
leaving camp some debris was necessa
rily left, and this will all be removed so
that the veterans will march in and find
a clean, healthy and pleasant camping
ground. There is considerable lumber
in camp, such as tent floors, tables and
kitchens, which will be kept for the use
of the veterans, after which Col. Olds
will offer it for sale. For anybody
needing such lumber this will afford a
good opportunity to purchase at a rea
sonable price.
THE POSTAL FACILITIES
for the soldiers during the encampment
have been much better than ever before
in the entire history of Wrightsville en
campments. There have been two
mails regularly each day. The mail mat
ter has been promptly delivered to each
company as it has arrived, so that there
has been no word of complaint from
any one on that score.' The facilities
for writing afforded by the Y. M. C. A.
have been excellent and they have been
utilized to their utmost capacity.
THE U. S. ARTILERYV
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the soldierly bearing and gentlemanly
conduct of the detachment of U. S.
artillery from Fortress Monroe. They
are a fine body of men, well posted in
their duties as artillerists and their con
duct has been entirely unexceptionable
throughout the whole of the encamp
ment. We hear, indirectly, that there
was quite a scramble among the soldiers
at the Fort to get in the detail for
Wrightsville, and that if every wish had
been gratified "Uncle Sam," would have
been without a military force at that
important point.
The Y. M. C. A. tent was also re
moved, giving that' part of the camp,
which had been the scene of so much
bustle and activity, ana where hun
dreds of men congregated daily to read
the papers and magazines, write letters
home to the loved ones or to play inno
cent games that were furnished for their
amusement, a desolate' appearance. The
State Guard certainly owe a debt of
deep and lasting gratitude to the Y. M.
O. A. for the many favors received at
the hands of that beneficent Christian
organization, and we feel sure that its
efforts are duly appreciated. .
The wagonettes and ambulances had
but tew passengers for transportation
yesterday, but they had about as much
as they could attend to during the fore
noon in transporting the baggage of the
different companies to the railroad for
shipment. This duty was concluded at
a little after noon, after which the ve

hicles were conspicuous ior their ab
sence. They reaped a golden harvest
while the encampment lasted, and ought
to be content with the result, as they
undoubtedly are. The soldiers spent
their money freely, and the livery stable
men certainly got their share. ;
Two of the three booths just outside
the camp, on the turnpike, which fur
nished all who wished with tobacco,
cigars, sandwiches, cakes and light
drinks, closed up and took down' their
tents early yesterday morning, leaving
one to supply such wants for the First
Virginia. - They all had a brisk trade
during the encampment, and made
money "hand over fist."
. THE VETERANENCAMPMENT.
Col. E. D. Hall went down to camp
yesterday morning to make the neces
sary arrangements with Col. Olds for
the Veteran Encampment, which will
take place next week. Col. Hall is -deeply
interested in the; encampment
of the veterans, and is quite sanguine of
its complete success. At any rate, if
hard work and a careful study of the sit
uation and the needs of those old battle
scarred heroes will accomplish the de
sired object it will be a most pronounced
success. These Veterans are rapidly
dropping off year by year into the silent
land of the great beyond, and they
strongly appeal to the pride, sympathy
and veneration of every man, woman
and child who has the glory and honor
of North Carolina at heart. They
risked all, and O, how many lost all in
the service of the State; and it is but
meet and proper that the remaining few
maimed representatives ' of North
Carolina's bloodiest andmost glorious
page in history should assemble together
perhaps, with many of them, for the
last time to indulge in reminiscences
of the time when they stood shoulder
to shoulder in the bloody conflict. Let
Wilmington honor these heroes at the
coming Encampment, so that when the
latter shall return to their homes, they
shall not carry the sad thought that
they and their dead are forgotten.
THE FIRST VIRGINIA REGIMENT
remained in camp after the State
Guard leit yesterday" morning, and car
ried out the duties of the day with mili
tary regularity and precision. Then was
rhe usual guard mounting in the morning
and the orders regarding leaving camp
were even more strict than when all the
regiments were there. The regiment is
composed entirely ot Richmond com
panies, with the exception of the Peters
burg Grays, which now belongs to the
Fourth Regiment, but expects soon to
become a part of the First Regiment.
As we have before stated, they are a
fine body of men, under excellent drill
and discipline, well officered, and con
stitute a splendid specimen of our citi
zen soldiery. They will leave camp at
about 10 o'clock this morning and come
to the city, where they will remain
awhile before taking a northern bound
special train for Richmond, where they
expect to arrive about 12 o'clock to-night.
While in the city they will be the
guests of Col. F. W. Kerchner, whose
open-handed hospitality is proverbial
and is known of all men. The regiment
will stop at the Front street station and
then take up their line ot march, in
light marching order, down Front strec,
to the residence of Col. Kerchner, so
that some of our citizens who have not
had the pleasure of seeing them may
have an opportunity of witnessing their
perfection in marching. Undoubtedly
many of our prominent citizens will
call and pay their respects to the gal
lant Virginians while they are tempo
rary soiourners in our midst. It would
would be but proper and right,
for they have, one and all, spoken
m the very highest terms of the univer
sally kind and courteous treatment they
received at the hands of the. State
Guard, and of the great pleasures of
Camp Fowle. and they should see that
those in civil life are not a whit behind
the military in point of cordiality, frank
hospitality, and all the noble instincts
which constitute a true North Caroli
nian. THE CURTAIN FALLS.
With the departure of the Virginians
the curtain falls on the lest scene of the
miiitary drama enacted at Camp Fowle,
N. C, July. 1891. It will be long re
membered as the very best military en
campment, ever held at Wrightsville.
This is emphatically the fact in
every particular so far as our
observation has extended. The camp
has been kept in a better sanitary con
dition than ever before. The attention
to duty and to detail has better; better
order when the soldiers were off duty
has been preserved, a more friendly and
cordial feeling has existed among the
men of the different commands; official
orders have been more cheerfully, and
promptly obeyed, and in fact everything
that tended to make the encampment a
success has been better. Camp Fowle,
of 1891, has been a pronounced success
of which the soldiers as well as citizens
should be iustly proud.
. GENERAL GLENN
who is. by v irtue of his office, the back
bone of the State Guard, and who by
his deep interest and pride for the
State, has been a powerful factor in this
encampment was among the last to
leave yesterday. He has labored faith

fully and earnestly to make the en
campment a success in every respect,
and he has succeeded. All will ioin
in thanking Gen. Glenn for his work;
IN AND AROUND CAMP.
- There was fun at Col. Anthony's
quarters over "that Opossum."
-.Everything offered for sale around
the camps was at reasonable prices.
No gouging was heard of. .
- The detachment of U. S. soldiers
will leave to-day for Fortress Monroe,
where they are stationed.
The switchback still continues to
do business at the old stand, but the
run of custom is materially reduced.
A good many of the Virginians say
they are coming to Wrightsville to the
next encampment; whether the regi
ment comes or not.
- The corporal in charge of the de
tachment of U. S. soldiers in camp says
the Monroe Light Infantry was the
best drilled company in camp.
A very large crowd of the Virginia
boys went over to Ocean View last night
to make a farewell invasion of the surf
which they so much enjoy.
Capt. James B.Lloyd, of the Tar-
boro company, is remaining over a few
days in camp. "He must have been
charmed by a snake," some one says.
- The . soldier who tried to sleep in
camp Inursday night stood a lair
chance ot being hustled out without the
least regard to ceremony or his sleepy
feelings.
The Virginians had a dress parade
in heavy marching order yesterday.
They had on their full equipment, which
was very heavy. They did well, as they
always do.
Col. Jones and Lieut. Col. Phillips,
of the First Virginia'Regiment, made
the First North Carolina Regiment very
happy and aprpopriate speeches as they
were leaving camp
- Capt. Frank Cunningham sang that
sweet song, " lhe iJlue and tne uray, as
the Wilmington Light Infantry drew up
in line. The Light Infantry gave three
cheers for the First Regiment,
First Sergeant Heinsberger, of
of the W. L. I., was the last man of the
Seoond Regiment to leave camp, and
while in camp he was one of the most
faithful workers.
-Lt. Col. S. H. Smith, A. A. G., wll
remain until after the Encampment of
the Veterans. He was "thar" during the
late "npleasantness" and is conse
quently one of em and has a right to
stay.
The last company of the State Quard
to leave was Company C, of the Second
Regiment the Wilmington Light In
fantry. Upon leaving they saluted the
Virginians with three rousing cheers,
which were as heartily returned.
. A drummer boy of the First Vir
ginia lost his cap on the Seacoast ; train
on Wednesday evening, and would be
glad if the finder would return it to the
regiment. It may be known by the
number 146, on the rim.
A very elegant banquet was given
Thursday night at the Island Beach
Hotel by Col. Benehan Cameron in
honor of Gov. Holt and the officers of
the Virginia and North Carolina troops.
There were sixty-four spreads,
There was an informal religious
meeting at the Y. M. C. A. tent last
night, in which there was great interest
manifested. Two better and more
pleasant men could not have had charge
of the tent than Secy's Coulter and
Busey. The boys will retain very kind
feelings for them
