Cancelation of the order to abandon

tainty since last Sunday whea Secre
tary Week peraonally inspected the
camp. He declined then to make defi
nite announcement until he had con
ferred with Ganeral Penning, hia
chief of staff. Brigadier General A.
J. Bowley, commanding officer at the
camp waa called to Waahington Tues
day and wal Informed yesterday that
tha camp would be retained.
Order to abandon the eamp were le
aned from Jhe War Department in July,
and ainee then Payetteville citizen,
co-operating with General Bowley have
waged a persistant campaign to have
the order rescinded. Denied flatly
at their first effort. Republican Na

Mor'ehead, waa asked to throw - hia
weight into the fight; and upon hia re
quet. Secretary Week agreed to hold
up the order until he had opportunity
to peraonally inspect the eamp.

With that asurance, Payetteville
haa been confident that the eamp would
be retained. But one defect waa found
K. u Week when ha inspected the
place Sunday, that being the lack of
adequate transportation facilities be
tween rnyetteviUe and the eamp nine
Biile away. Tuesday morning the
tttanma af FavettevUla pledged the

Secretary Week had no hesitancy in
deelarine to the Payetteville people
with whom he talked Sunday that Camp
Bragg waa the bet maintained army
eamp that he had eeea, and that iu
aitaatioa for artillery worn waa weai.
JmH remoteneea Mom Payetteville, and
the lack of transportation alone eaused
him to hesitate in then declaring for
its retention.
General Bowley ha been the ehief
Havre in the fight to retain the eamp,
workina with the active co-operation
of the Fayetteville eitiaena, and North
Carolinians generally, rayetteviile hat
acted upon every suggestion offered by
the commanding general, even to eeem
ing not to know that the Secretary ef
War waa in the Cape rear metropoiia on
Sunday, and ia providing everything
that haa been aiked for ia the way
of additional facilities.
Secretary Week wa delighted with
the administration of the eamp by Gen

economy of operation, and bis oetermi
nation to dear the eamp area of boot
eggen and keep it dear. Hi e lami
nation of the eamp waa minute in de

It was from a sergeant that he learned
of the difficulty often encountered by
the men in getting to Fayetteville i
their leisure time.

Payetteville and Camp Bragg Lave
won out over the seventh abandonment,
and to the Scotch in that eountry, the
number a significant. They remember
the tradition of Robert Bruce who
watched the spider climb to the roof

restore the three per cent tax on toilet
soap and powder which the Bouse bill
proposed to repeal.

Five per eent reduction in the taxe

on yachts and motor boat of not more
thin five tons or not over thirty-two

ten per eent on camera lenses. The
