THE SECOND REGIMENT ASSIGNED

To do GarrisoL Duty Along the Southern
Coast Regiment viii be Scatts red.
Brigadier General Pennington, CON-
mander of the Department of the
Gulf, with headquarters at Atlanta,
has been directed by Secretary Alger
to order the Second North Carolina
regiment to such point as he may
designate. This is taken as q certain
indication that the regiment will be
moved to some point in the very near
future. The opinion is given out from
Washington that the regiment will be
scattered like the first six companies
which were detailed to do garrison
duty along the Southern coast.
The news was received with genuine
pleasure at camp, as the regiment is
very DESTROYS of assignment to sOme
point. OF course it is greatly desired
that the regiment be kept in tact
This officers and privates alike earn
estly hoped for. But assignment to
some point is desired, even if the reg.
iment has to be divided.
The Department of the Gulf extends
from the Virginia line through the
States bordering the Gulf of Mexico
The six companies here will be most
likely assigned to some point on the
coast within the department. One OF
the Texas regiments, like the Second
North Carolina, is doing garrison
work

EXCEPTIONS FILED.

By the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company to the Order Reducing Rates.
The Wilmington and Weldon Rail-
road Company filed exceptions to the
Railroad Commissions order reduc-
ing fares. Five reasons are given {:
first, that rates are not Just and rea-
sonable; second, will compel defend
ant to operate at loss; third, will
cause heavy reduction in passenger
fares and prevent the paying stock
holders small dividend; fourth, the
order dlscriminates against the de
PENDANT while rates on other roads
are not reduced; fifth, enforcement
of the order will deprive the defend
ant of its property without due
process and deny it the equal pro
lection provided by the fourteen'h
amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States.
