Over a Thousand Men Expected at

From the Raleigh Register.

From the Raleigh Register.
All interest is now centered on the
encampment Of all the white troops of
the Guard, at Asheville. 1t begins
on the 22d, Of July and ends on the
31st. All the arrangements are per-
fected, and the encampment will be
the largest in this State. Virginia,
Tennessee or South Carolina since the
war; indeed it will be one Of the lar
gest held in the entire South. The
movement Of troops begins on the Dist.
The grand review by the Govern
or and his staff will take place We'd
nesday, 29th Of July, and the encamp-
ment will break up the 31st.
There will be % companies of in
fantry under canvas purchased tents
for the State, which Will be for use at
this encampmcnt and those to be held
each year hereafter. There are Is
wall tents and 100 wedge or A tents,
all of standard duck, made specially
to order
The transportation arrangements
are very satisfactory indeed. The State
appropriates $4,000 year for the
payment Of transportation and other
expenses incident to the encampmcnt.
The troops will number about 900
perhaps 1900. All the companies
have recruited largely in the past 6
months, and most Of them now num-
Der so men, some having us many as
75. The season for the .encampment
is a good one, when there is generally
fine weather in the mountains. The
selection Of Ashevil!e as the place for
holding the first encampment is felt
to be good one, and it viii doubtless
afford TIE trooI the best means Of re-
ceiving tactical instruction. The per-
sonnel Of the State Guard is fine. II e
troops Of no State in the Union have
made more progress in the past two
years. They surprised everybody at
the State Exposition. They will make
brilliant show at Asheviile. The
bands of the four regiments will furn
ish the best music The location of
the camp is near the French Broad
river, so that capital arrangements
will be afforded for bathing The
people OF Ashcville will devote them
selves specially to the entertainment
Of the military and the scenes at camp
will be gay in the extreme. OF course
the troops go there for hard work and
instruction, and will get an abund-
/ ance Of both, bat the pleasures which
will be incidental will not come amiss.

From the Lonts5u q Times.

FROM the LonfS5a q Itnles.
w. T. Blackwell tried several towns
in the State before locating, so we are
told. He endeavored to purchase
property in towns that have grown
but very little since, but the prices
were too high, and thus an enterpris-
ing citizen was prohibited from doing
business in their midst. Finally he
dropped down on ''little Durham" as
some one called it. where he was offer
ed just as much ground as he wanted,
at reasonable figure. He bought,
and the results are known by nearly
every newspaper reader in the coun-
try. Look at Durham now. In 8 or
10 years it has grown from small
town to city. Besides being one of
the best business places in the State,
it has sseveral tobacco factories, a num-
ber of large warehouses, and is now
preparing for water works and street
cars. 1t supports good daily news
paper and two of the best weeklies in
the State, all of which can be attribu-
ted to the energy, push, enterprise and
liberality of its citizens. Will Louis
burg profit by Durham's example?
We hope so.

Learning b. Experience.

When a man fails in business or
commits a crime be is usually urg.
ed to mediate upon. the lesson
which experience has taught him.
The advice is good, for this stern
master does teach valuable lessons.
But bis lessons are often given
when it is Too late to profit by them.
Though the axiom "Its never
too late to mend" may encourage
many despairiag ones yet there are
blunders which are fatal.
The following incident, related
by young man, illustrates this
fact:
One raw day in March, a few
years ago, l had occasion to take
the Eastern,bound train from Bos.
ton.
Soon after leaving the city /
started to pass into a forward car
in search of a friend.
The wind was blowing a gale,
and l had no sooner stepped upon
the platform than my hat which
l had neglected to properly secure,
was lifted from my head aud bore

ale use.
Not wishing to appear too much
troubled at my loss, | spoke Of it
lightly, adding that at least, l had
learned a good lesson,
"oh, yes" said he; but that will
not bring back the hat"
His words made clear to me the
fact that q lesson may be learned
too late.
Thousands violate the laws of
health.
When they are racked with pain,
they learn to take care Of the body
