T SE PRESENTED TO GEN. YOUNG OFFICERS OF THE FIRST BRIGADE GIVE COMMANDING OFFICERS VALUABLE PRESENT.' ABOUT THE SOLDIER BOYS Many . Interesting . Happenings Con cerning the National Guard In Camp - at Morehead City Daily Drills for the Boys in Khaki. Camp Glenn. On the part of the officers of the First Brigade, Colonel W. C. Rodman. Second Infantry, presented General Laurence Yeung a handsome riding horse, accepted by General Young with warm words of appreciation ex pressive likewise of the confidence in the officers and men under his com mand. . The' presentation occurred at bri gade headquarters at noon where was assembled the officers who had part in the gift and the band of the third Colonel S. W. Minor, after several selections by the band introduced Col onel Rodman who expressed to Gen eral Young the esteem and confidence in which he was held by the brigade, ar 1 in token of which he presented the horse, "Sport" by" name, at that time standing near under charge of Orderly Yount with head held high. , Rousing cheers greeted the presen tation. General Young responded sim ply, declaring that first in his affec tions was his family, next his brigade and then a good horse. He thanked the men before him for their co-operation, and expressed keen understand ing of the sacrifices most of them have made in answering the call of the President. "I know there are men in the brigade who have more ability to com mand troops than I have but I know there is not one more enthusiastic for the service than I," he declared. General Young made his remarks more than mere words of appreciation for the gift. He reiterated his faith in the officers and men under him, their willingness to go' where com manded to go and serve In the way laid out "We have no way of knowing what we will bo called upon to do. we may go to Mexico, we may go to Texas, we may stay here or go to our homes But one thing I know, whether it be In Mexico, In Texas or whether It be here, we will do our duty and as be come soldiers without questioning or complaining." General Young mounted the horse, and while the band played Dixie and the officers applauded, he rode a few turns about the quarters. The band of the Third Infantry met and- escorted into camp the Second Battalion of the Third Infantry, which ; after a march of twenty-seven miles came up from the record hike of the encampment, having covered fifty three miles in two days. The batal lion left here on Wednesday morning with Major S. C. Chambers command ing and leading the way, with battal lion adjutant Lieutenant Cooke assist ing and Captain Dotf Scott, regiment al adjutant, as guest. The four com panies,' marching in heavy order, ac companied by two wagons and an am bulance hiked to Newport, a distance of nine miles from camp with stops of ten minutes to the hour, and after 30 minutes in Newport, to Camp Bryan, a well known hunting and fishing lodge. Only three or four men actu ally fell out, because of fatigue on the march. - The first troops, Major Chambers still leading, reached the camp trite at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Immediately the men set about cook ing dinner, supper proceeded later In the afternoon. Mospuitoes and Bnakes of almost all varieties abounded and one crowding out in haste at 1:30 this morning when he yelled the news that a bear was prowling around near. Sev eral claim to have seen him but bruin didnt tarry. Returning, the hikers left Camp Bry an at 7 o'clock Thursday morning in a circuitous route to avoid a dense swamp in which the men suffered most on Wednesday. At B o'clock the main body drew Into Camp Glenn, yelling their delight and not much the worse for the march. Lieutenant Cooke and the wagoners, with guard, followed af ter an Interval of twenty minutes, this having been the time spent by the de tachment in rebuilding a broken down bridge. Col. T. Q. Donaldson, from the in' spetor general's office, arrived In the camp this morning and started an in spection of the camp, visiting mess halls and all camp buildings first. The adjutant general's office at Ra leigh, was notified by the United States Bureau fo Militia Affairs that Company A of Engineers, recently or ganized in Wilmington and numbering about seventy men had been recogniz ed by the war department subject to the provisions of the national defense act and that orders would be received from the eastern department directing the company to proceed to a mobiliza tion point. It is not known where the engineers' company will be mobilized but probably at Camp Glenn It Is be lieved. .Orders to move are expected soon. In spite of .the temporary hold-up, the authorities here beliave the North Carolina troops will yet see service on the border. Gen.' Laurence Young i3 not discouragd at the prospect and Major Henry J. Hunt, ranking army officer, believes that with the settle ment of the labor difficulties troops will move southward as before con templated when completely equipped. While the men in camp now are fairly well equipped, according to MaJ. Hunt, at least two weeks will be required to bring the equipment up to the stand ard. Then will come moving orders, provided the situation at home is sat isfactory and the Mexican problem has not been settled in a way , entirely agreeable to the United States. Captain W. C. Hoiion, medical ad ministrative staff, left for Raledgh on a leave of absence pending "an ap pointment. Sergeant A. B. Breece, Fayetteville, who has been home on a furlough for some time on account of the illness of his wife, has returned to camp. While at home Sergeant Breece entered his aplication for 'dis charge, but upon his arival here, he withdrew it, taking up his duties at brigade headquarters." Two mon-hs after President Wilson called out the National Guard, North Carolina, troops aro still in camp. Now, it's a matter ?f patient waiting, and working in the meantime. Again and again speculation has been followed by periods of eager anticipation of early departure under orders for the border, only to have the deani smashed by more uncertainty and more specula tions, with a new crop of rumors every day. And finally when the move south-. ward semed not only certain but Immi nent, came the threatened strike of railroad men Thus far there has been no dissati- faction with Camp Glenn. The men realize that border conditions cannot come up to present surroundings for camp conveniences." Yet they are anx ious to get away, not to go home, but South, to see such service as there may be with the other state troops now on Texas soil. Major Henry J. Hunt has gone to Charlotte for an Inspection "of the Com pany of Engineers organized there. The Wilmington company has been ordered to report at Camp Glenn for physical examination and muster. Mrs. J. A. Turner, wife of Major Turner, Miss Beatrice and Miss May Turner, daughters, and Miss Barrow axe visiting at Camp Glenn. The eastern department ordered the discharge of twenty-ono additional enlisted men with dependent families, thus running the total up to 296. Colonel Bessent, formerly lieutenant colonel of the First Infantry, is a vis itor at Camp Glenn. j While recruiting has been going on slowly during the entire, two months, the brigade lacks much of being up to its complete war strength. The re lease of men with dependent families, numbering 275 to date, has squared with the Increase, consequently the brigade stands much as it did directly after the muster, so far as strength is concerned. Now there are just a few over three thousand men regu larly enlisted, the detailed strength of the staff and organisations is about as follows : General staff, 4 ; adminis tration staff, Q. M. C, 4; First infantry. 989; Second infantry, 773; Third in fantry, 793; Cavalry, Troop A, 70, and Troop B, 73; Field Hospital, 65; Am bulance Company, No. 1, 74. All recruiting details which relieved Coast Artillery recruiting parties dur ing the training camp" at Fort Caswell have returned, those from the West en part of the state reporting graphi cally the devastation wrought by re cent floods. In spite of predictions to the contrary, very few recruits have been attracted to the colors from the west since the flood. Frank A. McCoy, B. M. LIneberger and Van R. McCall, coast artillerymen from Charlotte, have been assigned to recruiting duty in Charlotte. After having been mustered in by Major Henry J. Hunt here, the three will proceed to their station. With the nineteen discharges just allowed through order from the East ern Department; total of 273 men whose family obligations make their release necessary, have been dis charged from the service. Other ap plications led will probably not be over twenty-five, bringing the total to about three hundred. Liquor was handed another wallop at Camp Glenn. ' Some time ago Col onel Gardner announced that all liquor shipments to First Regiment mem bers would be noted. Now- the an nouncement has been made that the provost guard would seize all liquor shipped to officers and enlisted men immediately after it was signed for at the express offices in adjacent towns. - Another man, a private, is now seek ing re-enlistment after securing his discharge under the. dependent family arrangement. After getting his r, lease he found that arrangeme could be made with his father fo support of his wif during his. of service. His discharge h" been granted. Now hejf come up for re-en!ittnv General Young'!' On the occasion thirty-ninth birthd presented with a painted with the' proper prominei Hearne, Compat It reads thus: l "Here's to you, From the Old M The state. of hono ine iana oi xne May you spend mail And may the gei .

Joyner, state su perintendent of public Instruction, says that after hearing definitely from all the counties through the school auth orities ,he finds that the damage to the school houses in the flood sectiona ofrthe state was nominal and that the most serious results of the floods for the schools will be the reduced school tax revenue on account of the reduc tions In tax assessments that will be necessary on account of the heavy general flood damage In the counties. Dr. Joyner is setting on foot plans through which he hopes to counteract 1 this loss from shrinkage in tax values and avert any necessity for curtailing the length of the school terms.

But the pretty afternoon gown shown Is assured of favor because of iti suggestion of quiet, Quaker style. Summer wardrobes have Included so much In the way of gay and colorful clothes that a demure gown like this strikes a new note.
