The Hussers Preparing for Next
Months Drill.
The competitive drill Of the Georgia Hus-
sars which Is 10 take place next month for
$50 IN gold, offered by Col W. W. Gordon
for the best drilled squad is accusing great
interest in military circles The squads
for the drill have been selected and are
hard at work preparing for the event,
which doubtless will be one of the best exhi~
billions ever given by the troop. There are
seven squads as follows:
Squad No. L-CorpL Postell, Phvates
Ellington, Tyson, Hull. Myers.
Squad No. 2-Sergt. Myers, Privates
D'Antignac, Eichborg, Tilton, Remshart.
Squad No. 3-Sergt. Hull, Privatss Con-
stantine, schley, West, Gordon. Jr.
Squad No. 4-Sergt. Foye, Privates Har-
rison, Screven, Whitehead, Priechard.
Squad No. 5-Sergt. McAlpin, Privates
W. Hunter. F. Myers. Jr., Dancy, Silver
berg.
Squad No. 6-Corpl. Cunningham, Pri-
Yates OBrien, O'Connor, Middleton, Green.
Squad No. 7-Corpl Bleis, Privates
Gould, Mcleod, Young, Gilbert.
The drill will be in the school Of the soldier
dismounted, beginning with the setting up
manuals or the saber. caroline and pistol
The prize will go to the squad showing the
most general efficiency.
All the companies of the regiment have
begun the skirmish drill and are making
good progress in this most interesting feat
ure OF the military tactics The Cadets set
the example. and the remainder of the regi.
ment have fallen into line. When all the
commands perfect themselves IN the skirni-
ish a regimental drill Of this character will
be sonnet hing worth looking OF.
The Chatham Artillery will appear in the
new uniforms on the occasion OF the cele-
bration Of Gen. Lees birthday, Jan. 10.
After the inspection by Lieut.. Satterlee
next month 1t is probable that all the COM
panies Of the regiment will adopt the state
regulation uniform. The Cadets aud Vol
unteers have It now. and the Blues aud
Oglethorpes will only have to get coats and
caps, both commands already having the
regulation state trousers. The Greens will
be the only company which will have to get
an entire outfit, but as the majority OF the
members are DESTROYS of change to the
state uniform the gray and green will prob
ably be laid aside to do service on other
occasions besides those Of general parade.

NORTH CAROLINA TEACHERS
ASSEMBLY.
OFFICE OF SECRETARY


RALEIGH, n. c., August %, 1891.
EDITOR PRO 4REssIyE FARMER:
DEAR SIR.-PIeaSe allow me in JUS
tice to the Teachers Assembly to cor
rect a few statements which appear in
the report of your executive commit
tee concerning the Teachers Assembly
building at MOrehead City.
/. The secretary Of the Assembly
has never invited the Farmers Alliance
to meet in MOrehead City or in the
Teachers building. The Assembly is
glad to have the Alliance or any other
reputable organization use its building
for their sessions. The teachers charge
ne rent for the building to any persons,
and a standing invitation IS open to all
associations.
2. The secretary did not let any other
organization have the building after
it had been promised TO the Alliance. "
These are the facts: The Alliance
decided to meet at MOrehead City this
summer while it was in session at Ashe-
vile last year, SO | have incidentally
heard. but neither secretary or other
officer Of that organization has ever
given the secretary of the Teachers
Assembly even the slightest informal
ton as to the meeting Of the Alliance
at MOrChcad City, nor have they ever
by word or letter asked the uSeOi our
building or ever given me the date Of
their meeting SO that the Teachers
Building could have been held in
reserve for the Alliance. The only
knowledge l had of the date Of their
meeting at MOrehead City was upon
my visit to the secretary with McSsrS.
Foster Brothers Hcuriy q month after
another organization had made the
customary application officially for the
building and secured it for a date
which happened to be the same upon
which the Alliance was to meet.
3. 1t was not the duty Of the secre
tary of the Teachers Assembly to
notify the AiIilnca that The building
was already sscu~el by another orIau-
iZatIon on the d;,o which the Alliance
wanted, as III. these matters were
between Jhr r~2tuvrs' Alliance and
the Atlantic Hotel
!. All tniS unfortunate conflict as to
dates ana the transactions concern
ing the ~ieacn,ro' t.Ultding were Iuijy

and Mr.. Hu'n"~ white at Morchead
City, and NJ Barnes at the request Of
