Best Figures Obtainable Seem to
Show That . GastonlaV Company
Leads State in Number - Despite
Alleged Figures Sent Oat by Cer
tain Staff Oorrespondenc -
Postmaster John R Rankin re-
"ceived a telegram this morning from
Capt. A. U Bulwlnkle of Company
I B, First Infantry, . North Carolina
National Guards, now in camp , at
' -Camp Glenn, Morehead City, stating
that the former was authorised to
'', enlist recruits for Company B. Mr.
: Rankin will be glad to confer witn
any young men who are desirlous ol
'Joining the soldier boys. If there
,f are any such in Gastonia or the
" county they can find Mr. Rankin in
, Jbin office at the postoffice. -Capt.
Bulwlnkle has 99 men in
" his company and thus heads the list
' In the State, notwithstanding the flg
ures given by The Charlotte Observ-
' er's staff correspondent who credits
' Gastonia with only 93 men at pres-ent-
If the Observer's correspond-
ent is right In stating that Company
. D, of Charlotte, has 97 men left.
: Gastonia tops the list ' Out of 128
men who went from Gastonia to
Camp Glenn (The Observer has per
sisted in giving the number as 126
only- 29 were rejected, leaving net
99 men .on the company's roster.
" These 29 returned to Gastonia on
No. 35 last night The same tram
carried to Charlotte, according to
Information brought here by some
.of the 29, thirty-five men. Charlotte
claimed 129 to start with. That fig-
- ure less 3& leavea the Charlotte com
. pany with 94 as against Gastonia's
99. The Concord company had tne
' largest number when the regiment
reached camp, namely-147, but -this
v according to The Observer, has been
v reduced to 91. -The figures given
above, with reference to Gastonia's
company at least,, are given The.Ga
sette by reliable parties in a. posi
tion to know and weT give them to
the public in that manner. It ap
r pears to be clearly a case where
Gastonia's figures have been persist
ently. if not intentionally, misrepre
sen ted.
With Mr. Rankin acting as. re-
' . cruiting officer there seems to be
every likelihood. .that Capt. Bui win
kle will get quite a number of addl-
tional recruits which will put Com
. pany B unquestionably in the lead so
v - fat as the First Regiment of Infant-
ry is concerned. "
Gaston conuty's 29 rejected men
V reached home on No. 3 5 last night
; - and appeared to be in good spirits.
t Most of them were ' turned down
either because of underweight or
. underhelght. '
The Gazette has' made - arrange
ments with a member of Company B
to send it a letter weekly and, in
. this way, the paper-hopes to be able
to give- its readers exact facts witn
reference to the company so tbey
may know just exactly what's what.
Building and Loan.
Gastonia has tw,o excellent build
ing and loan associations which are
playing a large part in the home
