Property, West
GOVERNOR'S GUARD CALLED TO DAY
To Take Up Camp This Afternoon and Act as Patrol Until
the Arrival of the Other Volunteers from
Throughout the State.
All Raleigh was astonished this morn
ing by a rumor that ijmckly spread over
the city to the effect that the Asylum
amliorilies had held a protest or gotten
out an injunction against the State to
prohibit the use of the Crn wford-Rogers-Bclvm
property as a camping ground for
tin- mobilization of the volunteer troops
which are to reach Raleigh on Monday
aim Tuesday. '
Silted down to the cold facts it was
learned that the camp selected was above
the asylum water intake on a
branch which supplies the water
sometimes used at the Central Hospital
for bathing purposes.
Dr. Kirby w as commended by many,
bid there were those who said arrange
ments for temporary supply at the asylum
Could easily be made, and that Raleigh
might lose the mobilization of Stale
troops by so much local disruption.
The Chamber of Commerce authorities
at once began to look for another site,
and nt 2 o'clock they, were ready to
report. ..
Work had begun ot. "Bryan Grimes"
camp- early this morning, and it was
sonic time before the workmen were no
tified to break away.
This, however, was looked after about
It o'clock, and at 2 o'clock Quarter
master General Harrcll agreed upon the
new site.
THE CAMP SELECTED,
ll is the one first suggested and most
desired the -Cameron property, between
tilt north entrance to the Fair Grounds
nml St. Mary's School. The large field
extending from tlie street car track oul
Hillsboro street almost to the Seaboard
Ai Line shops will be used- as drill
ground. -
Co! Harrcll sent large .force'- of
bauds out to the' -Cameron property as
soon as the decision was reached and the
ereelioit'of tents, digging sinks and other
arrangements were rushed. The camp is
to lie completed by to-morrow afternoon,
buj. a large part of it will 1m ready for
occupancy by the troops this evening.
FOOD FOR THE SOLDIERS.--'-.
The-Commissary .General, Col. S. S.
Itachelor is -making all arrangements for
feeding- the volunteer army. Bids have
been received, and the lowest in every
case was accepted. As soon ns the vol
unteers are mustered into the' United
Slates army by Captain John C.i
Groshnin. of the 7th Cavalry, mnv nii
duly at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, the State will cease paying for
supplies for the troops and the .govern-'
incut will have entire charge of the
men.
THE GUARDS CALLED OUT.
Last night the 'Governor's Guard-re
ceived orders from the Adjutant General
coiiiiiiaiidiug them to report at the camp
at 4 o'clock im Monday afternoon, but
all plans were changed to-day, by an
order from General Cowlcs, w hich sends
the Raleigh company into camp at i
o'clock this afternoon-if accommodation
has been arram.red.
The Guards were pleased by this order,
and made ready nl once to make the
trip' to the new. camp. ..Those in com
mand of the company .are Captain
Crawford, First Lieutenant Beavers and
Second Lieutenant Smith.
Sergeant Bunch has a large tirniy
trunk and in this are all records of the
company. The boys are in high spirits
and are glad to be the first company to
go into camp.
NAMING THE CAMP.
The authorities have been universally
commended for naming the camp "lirynn
Grimes," in honor of the Pitt County
Gtintds. the only company in Eastern
North Carolina to volunteer to follow the
Hag anywhere, whether in America.
Cuba or Spain. To-day when the site
was changed, an effort was lnade to
change the name of the Camp to "Paul
Cameron,"- niter the former owner of
the property, but it failed.
The new camp was the first choice of
all parties concerned, and it is found to
be unite satisfactory to oil in the neigh
borhood.
The citizens of Raleigh are .beginning
to realize the great benefit to result
from mobilization of the State Guard
here in Raleigh. Much money has al
ready been turned loose here, and when
the troops arrive the city's business will
be greatly increased.
- THE NEW COLONEL. i
Col. Armfield arrived this morning and
wan with the' Adjutant General through
out the day. He is receiving congratu
lations from his many friends. Col.
Armfield returned home this afternoon,
but will come to Raleigh on Monday to
take coiiunund, Every company In his
regiment Volunteered, and ho will have
under Ilia command every one of liU old
companies.
The statement that, efforts were being
made to have regular army men placed
in high positions was correct, and Ad
jutant General Cow-leu and Major Hay
es argue that it would be well for the
Second Regiment, which Is l1 be com
posed of new nSon, to be under experienc
ed and trained soldiers. '
This is accepted by the opposition, but
the movement is still as unpopular.
TIME OF ARRIVAL. ,
The troop from the west instead of
arriving in Raleigh on Monday will pro
bably ho-detained until Tuesday, us
some companies will not be ready to
move until Monday afternoon. - The

here to-day to sec. General Cowlcs. A
place has l.eeu reserved for a company
from Burlington to be commanded by
Col. Holt, and they will be given ten lays
to report in Raleigh.
SECOND REGIMENT.
The next call to be- issued from the
Adjutant. General's" office will for the
second regiment of volunteers.- .'.
The regularly organized companies in
the State Guard were given the first
opportunity- ami now the vacancies will
be supplied by the citizen volunteers.
Adjutant" General Cowles to-day
threw -up the sponge, saying that more
volunteers had offered themselves than
there was room for in the call froal
North Carolina.
There are a number of companies in
the State -Guard that would be glad to
come, but they cannot recruit up to 1'ie
retpiired S-l men. For . instance, tile
A'ance Guards' urc anxious to be in the
next regiment, but. they have not the
full number and have been unable to re
cruit to the qciuircd minimum.
.General Cowles, in an interview with
the Tiines reporter this morning, saitl
such companies 'could come and recruit
tip to tlie necessary number after their
arrival. They will be given opportunity
to choose their own men. .
It is. announced that: the Governor 'will
form' the battalion from the negro vol
iinteers, and ill regard to' this-'much is
being said, bill no action taken.
