NORTH CAROLINA sLANDEREp,
Col. Boyd Mad About It-Dental From
Gov. Russell.

Gov. Russell.
Col. James E. Boyd, Assistant At
torney- General of the United States, is
made very angry by the falsehoods
sent out from Washington in regard
to North Cardinals alleged failure to
furnish it's quota of troops. Boyd
says North Carolina is always SLAM
dered; that it ''does more fighting and
loses more men. /" He declares he
will "take the stump" to defend his
State. He asked the Adjutant- General
for the facts. The latter replies that
the State is short only eighty of fur
nishing the full quota of about $500.
The General further says he can raise
twenty regiments in week, of new or
CARNATIONS. No one can i'm
agine who it is at Washington who
gives currency to these persistent
ISLANDERS of North Carolina.
Gov. Russell, in dispatch to the
Associated Press, denies the accuracy
of the statements by the War Depart
ment that North Carolina has been
slow in offering volunteers and has
not raised it's quota of troops as called
for in the Presidents two prociama-
tions. He adds: ''Our three regi-
ments were organized promptly and
large number, have been offered in ex-
cess of quota.

STATE SECRETARY LEWIS.
His Address at the Y. NJ C. A. sun
day Afternoon.

Sunday afternoon at o'clock a
very interesting meeting was held at
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion hall. 1t was open to both ladies
and gentlemen, and by the time for
opening a large number had gathered.
Mr.. Hicks. the local Secretary, pre-
sided. The music was lively and in
spring. The solo by Mr.. Kenneth
Pfohl, which was well rendered, added
much to the attractiveness of the
hour.
Mr.. w. M. Lewis, State Secretary
of the Y. M. G. AS of North and
South Carolina, made the address,
using as basis the scriptural ac-
count of the healing of Naaman, the
Syrian.
The lesson drawn from this account
was the Importance of little things.
Mr.. Lewis showed how all were en-
dowed with some talent, and God re-
quired them to use it, in the best pos
sible way. He described the work
now being done by the Young Men s
Christian Associations in the army,
as one work in which all could en-
gage.
Mr.. Lewis has been closely con-
nected with the army work since war
was declared, and his description of
camp life showed plainly the positive
need for this work. He told of the
work being done among the North
Carolina troops, by the State Com
mittee, of their tent with the second
regiment, and the many privileges Of
fered the soldier boys. The tent is
large one, about 24x4O feet, equipped
with chairs, organ, tables, games,
reading matter of all kinds, bibles,
hymn books, correspondence tables,
where free writing material is furnish
ed. All this in charge of trained
Secretary, who gives his whole time
to organizing systematic Christian
work among the troops. The tent is
crowded with men from morning until
night. Already nearly 10000 sheets
of writing paper and 5000 envelopes
have been given out. Nearly every
man has been provided with a bible
or testament. Nineteen men have &C
cepted Christ as their Savior and
many weak Christians have been re-
claimed.
The speaker closed by showing the
way in which the people of Winston
could help in this work. First, by
praying daily for it's success; second,
by contributing towards it's expenses.
Contributions for this work can be
left at the Association building, from
whence they will be forwarded
promptly.

Snow in Cleveland County.

The Star says that very few people
in Cleveland county are aware of the
fact that snow fell in the county last
week. Mr.. Grigg, who is out with the
thresher, spent Monday night of last
week at Mr.. John Hunts near Polk
vile. He went out in the night to see
about his mules and large snowfakes
were falling. He called the attention
of the other gentlemen to the snow and
they procured a light and satisfied
themselves that it was snow. This is
contrary to the usual order of things
this snow in July.

REGULARS FOR GARRlSONS
Duty Which Has Become Obnoxious
 to inc Volunteers.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The request of the First Colorado infantry to be re- turned from Manila to the United States cannot be granted by the war department. It was stated by officers of the army today that such requests have been frequent from soldiers Of volunteer organizations, who enlisted to fight, but do not relish garrison duty The desire of this regiment to return home is similar to the desire Of other volunteers. and it Is rega rded as per fectly natural that these men want to return to their homes and their usual vocations, rather than serve in distant countries. Nothing can be done, it IS said, until congress meets and provides for some kind of a force to take the places of the volunteers.
 The subject of recognizing the army with view to securing an ade quate force for Ihe new possessions Of the United States has already received the serious consideration of the presi- dent, the secertary of war and officers of the army. The president will make recommendations to congress on this subject, embodying his views and the views of those who are in position to give him the very best advice.
 It is probable that the president will
 
 army to something like 100, 900 men. although this Is not certain, and he may find that 75, GOO Is enough. There has also been some talk Of enliSting fer garrison duty two companies of a battalion of natives to each regiment doing garrison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. It is believ- ed by this method a considerable DOT tion Of the restless population of the islands, and especially those who have borne arms in the insurgent or Span ish armies, might be usefully em ployed. It is conceded by officers of the army that the duties devolving upon the troops under the new order of things cannot be satisfactory to vol unteers, and that an army will have to bs raised, which will go where it is sent without complaints of any kind.
 Men who enlist in the regular army hereafter will understand that they are likely to be called upon at any time to get out of the country and to do garrison duty in distant lands for long periods.

Havana, Nov. 6.-The international agreement between Spain's spiritual loss Of sovereignty in Cuba and the assumption of full military control by the United States seems indefinitely prolonged With no immediate hope of relief to a country which daily grows poorer and more depopulated. On all sides the question is asked. How much nearer solution is the problem than on the day the protocol was signed?" The feeling among the bet ter class of intelligent and influential Cubans may be pretty accurately summed up in the following observa- tions made by representative Cuban merchant of Havana to a correspond ent Of the Associated Press: It seems to me that, and I think my views are shared by many, that the United States government is dilly- dallying too long with Spain over the evacuation question"
