ARGUS BUREAU, !
RALEIGH. May IL, 1895, {
For some time the question as
to why Raleigh should not have
a large military post has been
occasionally asked. No active
steps were taken in regard to the
matter, however, until week OF
so ago, when Gov. Carr wrote to
the Secretary of War, setting
forth the claims of this city for
the post and showing the exceed
ing advantages to be obtained by
the establishment of govern
ment infantry and cavalry post
here. The Governors letter
seems to have had d good effect,
as a letter from Acting Secretary
Of War Joseph B. Due, of Wash
ington, to the Governor shows.
It is anything but improbable
that a large military post will
be established here in the near
| future.
The proposed post would be
an inestimable advantage to
Raleigh, and Indirectly to North
| Carolina. Its mere establish
ment would cost 100000, and it
would constantly bring both
money and visitors to the State
and capital. 1t is to be hoped
that the people will call upon the
North Carolina Congressman to
force the establishment of the
post.
The memorial exercises yes

dress, on the life Of Gen. Whit

here as being absolutely the
grandest effort of the kind ever
delivered in this State.
