is charged .with entering. When he
awoke in a stupor he was attempting
to find his way out and stumbled into

drunkenness, and Mazlngo was sent

and reviewed theGeorgia troops of the
Fifth regiment now in camp there.
Adjutant General Royster came as
the personal representative of Gov
ernor Aycock, who found it utterly
impossible to come down as expected
xne distinguished worth Carolina
State Guard officers came oyer the

Major Robertson. Later they were
joined by Major White -and the party
left for Wrightsville on the 3 P. M.
train, arriving in camp in time to
reach the troops on dress parade
late in the afternoon. It is unneces
sary to state that the North Caroli
nians were favorably- impressed with
the personnel and discipline of the
Georgia regiment, which is conceded
by all to be one of the finest the beach
has ever entertained. The North
Carolinians were most cordially re
ceived by the Georgia officers and
shown every hospitality of camp life.
A large crowd of civilians witness
ed tbe parade, which was the last of
the day's encampment. The Georgia
soldier boys never showed off to bet
ter advantage and the exchange of
compliments was very general.
The regiment will break camp at 1
o'clock thia afternoon and the soldiers
will be taken on a two-section train
over the Seaboard Air Line, reaching
Atlanta at 10 A. M. to-morrow. Offi
cers and men of the Guard express
themselves as delighted with the
Hammocks" as an encampment
ground and Bay they will come again.
The weather has been very fine for
camp life and the boating and fishing
has had a peculiar charm for the Geor
gians. Wilmington. and tbe beach
people have been delighted to have
the visitors with them and all testify
as to tne well-behaved manner
of the men and the splendid
soldierly bearing of the capable
staff of officers.
Last night the officers of the Fifth
Georgia Regiment, the visiting and lo
cal North Carolina State Guard officers
and many friends, including the ladies,
of course, were the guests of the Wil
mington Light Infantry at a delightful
reception at the Atlantic Yacht Club
house on the beach. The pretty home
of the club was thronged with fair
women and gallant soldiers and it was
late when the festivities' came to an
end. Capt. Adrian, his staff of officers"
and members of the Light Infantry
vied with one another in according
genuine Cape Fear hospitality to their
guests, and the affair was one of the
most elaborate and enjoyable of this
season's beach events.
Tbe Baseball Game.
The game of baseball at Hilton
Park yesterday afternoon between a
team from the "Fifth Georgia" and

and a fraction. The game had to be
called to allow the "Troopers" to reach
camp in time for the final dress parade
yesterday afternoon. The score was
5 to 3 when the fireworks ended be
fore about 75 spectators. Neither
team distinguished itself by "putting
up the real article."

THE BEACH TROLLEY LINE
First Car to the Beacn Yesterdsy The
Profress of tbe Work.
The first trolley car to reach Wrights
ville Beach "anchored" off the Caro
lina Yacht Club house on the Seacoast
road yesterday morning and to-day
the work will have progressed suffi
ciently for a car to proceed the entire
length of the track.
The bonding has been completed
and work was begun yesterday on the
installation of the storage batteries in
the old station at Wrightsville. Work
has also begun on the stringing of the
feed wires and the end of next week
will find the small trolley cars trans
porting passengers "straight through.'
The large suburban cars, however, will
not be here until about August 5th
and it will not be until they are ready
for the track that the schedule of the
steam trains will be abolished. Even
without the reinforcements of the stor
age batteries, the current at Wrights"
ville is said to be very strong and the
line in splendid order.
It Is safe to say that the line will be
one of the finest in the South.

How About
That Tackle ?
The blue birds are with us
again. The streams and ponds
are warming up. The fisher
men should be looking up
their outfits. Seeing if any
thing is wanted before the
last minute.
As of old we are showing
the finest things to tempt the
fish kingdom and make the
sport more sporty for the
anglers.
Lines may be wanted ; poles must be
needed; hooks are very necessary, and
in fact we have everything that is re
quired to make a complete outfit.
To those that are interested in the
sport, to those others that may not be
so enthusiastic, we would consider it a
favor to have all come in and look.
