The sons of North Carolina will soon march to the front at the call of their - country- The - of fleers of the State Guard have been in the dark as to ;- plans so far but now matters are clear- lng. MaJ. E. M. Hayes is in Wash ington city procuring Information. This afternoon he telegraphed Quarter Mas- ter General Harren from Washington. : The call for volunteers as provided for in the Hull bill be be Issued by the President at the earliest possible mo ment;' that 1s as soon as the bill can , go through the Senate. Col.. Harrell thinks the President will call upon the Governors of the State for troops today or tomorrow. President McKinley will ask Govern- - or Russell for 2,000 men from North Carolina. The four regiments in the State wheh slightly recruited will con- ' stltute this number. Colonels W. B. Rodman, First Regi ment; J. V. Brutoh, Second;. W. A. Robbltt, Third, and J. F. Armfleld,' - Fourth, called on the Governor yester day afternoon and. paid their respects. The colonels and met here by agree ment . and hot by order. They eonfered together several times. Col. Rodman says the First Regiment has 460 men. Col. Armfleld says the Fourth haa 600; Col. Bruton that the Second haa S75, and Col. Bobbltt says the Third has 400. All say that upon call recruiting will be very rapid. The col onels consider the Stale Qua- vatla ble for duty anywhere that the (lag of the nation may be carried, in the Uni ted States, or out of It. When Gov. Russell receives call today or tomorrow the troi " v "ill be mobilized here with the Rie-itcst possi ble huste. Col. Harrell has nn iloubt that the four regiments will be here by . Saturday. Option on several sites have been secured for the mobilization hut the department have not made pub He their choice. WHO WILL COMMAND? A great question Is who will be giv en command of the North Carolina troops: that Is the brigade In which the ; North Carolina troops are placed, for several other retrlments must be placed wit Iv this State's troops to made the brigade. ' The Governor Is by virtue of his office the commander-in-chief of the State forces. Hut Governor Russell will not lead the North Carolina mlll tla toCuba. He will nam the officers f above colonels but they will receive tjlr comwlrslons from the President. Governor Atkinson, of Georgia Is the only fiuvcrrrr rn far who has announc ed that ffe will share the hnzard of war wlOt tv plf-oopg from his State. Gen eralKSpSif'f Hoke has been approached . . and" asked If he would accept com- : mand of our boys. Ttls learned on good authority that Gov. Russell wanted " him to take the place. However, Gen. Hoke finds that clrcumtanees render It Impossible for him to do so. If MaJ. Hayes will accept there is little doubt that the place will bs tendered him. Letters haye( been received from the guard all over the State asking that - this be done. When the guard as now. constituted goea Into the United States army their place wilt be taken here at home by new regiments and new companies ' which will be Immediately organised to supplant ihe present guard. This new guard will afford ample protec tion her tit home In case of riot or other disturbance In the State. It Is Stated on good authority that It Is more thaa ptobable that Gov. Russell - will place Gen. Hoke In command of the home guard. . GEN. LEE TALKS. General Lee In an Interview was ask ed If the Virginia troops would be In his command when he Is sent to Cuba. 'They certainly will be, provided I am given a command," he replied. - "What. Other troops will you have In your division?" the Baltimore Sun's representative In quired. "Oh, I can not tell now. There Is time enough to - settle that question." General Lee said he had heard that In forming regiments into the. brigades the "Blue and the Gray" wJll W placed side by side. As . far as lfils practicable to do so. no brigade will be made up entirely of Northern or Southern soldiers. To 11- - lustrate, the first brigade may be form ed of Virginia and New York regi ments, the. second of . Massachusetts . and Georgia' soldiers, the third of t. North Carolina and Ohio troops and so on. ' -:- ". When asked as to the truth of the . report that Rev.- Mr, Carmlchael, rec tor of St Paul's church, would be chap lain on his staff,. General Lee first re--' piled, "Oh, if I should have a com mand, X guess Dr. Carmlchael could, be along anyhow, for he is the chaplain ,r of the Blue's battalion." - This settles .'.that General Lee expects to have the Richmond Blues In his command. It Is -possible that the troops from Virginia and West Virginia will e con solidated Into one brigade, and the President asked to appoint General -Fits Lee to command it. A correspon dene to. this effect has already passed between the Governors of the two States- Governor. Atkinson, of West Virginia, under date April 10, -telegraphed; "1 suggest, Jf possible to ac complish ft, that the volunteers of the two -Yfrginlas .be crowded Into one brigade,- and that , We ask the Presl- dent to appoint Fits Le as the brigade commander." Governor Tyler replied: "The seatlmants In your telegram are - appreciated. .Virginia Would be glad - to unite her forces wtth her sister State, and surety no more suitable command er could be found than Fitshugh Lie," INTERESTING REPORT. How the Finances of the Raleigh Pres byterian Church are Managed. Church Treasurer Geo. Allen furnish es the North Carolina Presbyterian with a most Interesting letter concern ing the chuch here which Is of value to all denominations, it Is as follows: "The financial reports of the First Presbyterian church of Raleigh, for the year ending March 31st, were lead to the congregation on Wednesday even ing. "The past year has been a notable one In the history of this church. The congregation has erected, during the year, the, Sunday school portion of the new church building at a cost of about ten thousand dollars, and which Is free of debt. This has been done without Interfering with the regular work of the church. About a year' ago the dea cons, with approval of the session, pre pared a plan by which th" entire amount required for salaries, current expenses, church charity fund, nnd the apportionments to thlB church for mis sions and other causes, amounting tri ail to nearly $4,000, should be raised by voluntary promises from the Individual members of the congregation, to make B2 weekly payments through envelops furnished for the purpose. These pledges ranged from ten cents to two dollars per week. The deacons prom ising that If the subscribers would reg ularly make the payments as promised, that the church treasurer would msel ovory demrnd upon the chuich as 't iiecnme due. and that no appeal or eol I' lti-.n would be made during the year for the causes named. And that specinl glfls would be forwarded as extra con tributions. To carry out theplan re quired work In order to secure success. 'As mljcht have been expected, the result was watched with, some fear that missions or some other cause might suffer, ami not receive the full apportionment. When the reports were read. In 'which the Treasurer stat ed that the pastor had been paid semi monthly, that nil expenses had been mild promptly. nd that every appor tionment for nil the causes had been paid In full. It Is not surprising that a proposition from the pastor and treas urer, that a thank offering be made. and that a contribution be taken at once for the orphanage at narlum Springs, and that It was Hbcfrally sec onded by the congregation. The congregations are now consid ering financial plans for completing the church building "In time for entertain ment of Synod. October, 1899." "And we ought to po there." adds the editor of the North Carolina Presby terian. M VRRIAGE. Mis-s Una llattle and Capt William Still Married Today.
