Raleifih, March 2.'>.—The I'ni'ed
State.s war departnieni having official
ly iKititied Ad.jutrnt (^enetal l.«insrer
of the North Carolina national guard,
(hat this state is invited to send fonr
ofl'.cers to the ol)servalion man^-uvers
at San .\ntonio, Texas, non. Leinster,
with the ajjproval of Governor Kit ch
in has forwarded tlie following nomi
nations for this mi'.ch sottght-aftcr
siderations." It is known that $4,.300 trip: Col. .T. T. Gardner, Shelby, in
fantry field officer: Major E. B.
Glenn. .Asheville, medical corps: Cajit.
,\. I>. Miil, Company B, second in
fantry. \^■ins^on; and Cai)t. Wade H.
Phillips, Company .A. third infantry,
l>exington. The war department stip
ulated that the nominations must be
one field officer, two company officers
and one medical officer. The letter of
instructions to Gen. Leinster is to the
effect that the officers are to report
at San Antonio April .I. Their names
are to be furnished at once to the
department and transportation will
be furnished. They will carry field
equipment, the two field officers to
carry liorse equipment and procure
mounts in Texas at ihe expense of
the gu.'ird. Fourteen da\s service will
be required. They will receive regu
lar pa.\', Avhich is $11.11 per day for
the colonel: $8.o8 for major and
$(>.0)7 each per day for the two com
pany captains.
The ))iobability is understood to
be that there will be an additional al
lotment of men for this maneuvre
service liefore the Texas demonstra
tion is over. The North Carolina Na
tional Guard has accepted a comiiany
just formed at Dunn. Harnett county
to succeed the late Wadesboro com
pany as Company M. second regi
ment, and March 28 is fixed for mus
tering in the new company. Major J.
.T. Barnard to perform this service.
The nomination for officers of the
new company are: captain, D. C.
Parker; lieutenants. J. M. Riley and
A. M. Hollingsworth. The formality
of an election will have to be gone
through with before these officers are
commissioned.
Ill health has necessitated a two
months’ leave of absence for Manager
H. O. Bannister, of the Western
Union office here and he is succeeded
for the time by C. R. Wade, of Beati-
fort. Mr. Bannister has gone to his
old home at Richmond, where he re
cently burled his wife and littlec hi Id
who lost their lives in their hath
room here through defective gas wa
ter eater.
.lust when the syndicate officials will
begin work is not known, and the ab
sence from Charlotte of Vice President
and General Manager I^ee adds more
mastery to the case.
