battle.
There is little or no kicking in the
camp: no cleverer set Of fellows ever
assembled, than the fifteen hundred Tar
Heels now at Camp Grimes.
The officers are popular with their
men. The captains and lieutenants are
merely ''Some of the boys" and while
there is strict discipline and the utmost
respect paid to the officers, with but few
exceptions there is no unnecessary
stiffness, and but little parading of in

The boys play their little tricks on each

to belong to Uncle Sans army, and
there are some good banjo players in the

One other hen, however, on Friday after

Adjntant General Cowles yesterday

Doings and Sayings of the Brave
and Loyal Soldier Boys.

The men in Bryan Grimes Camp yes
terday were busy throwing up fortified
tions. Not for protection against the
enemy, but against the elements.
The air was raw and chill, and the
day was spent in resetting the tents,
banking the base of their walls with turf,
digging bitches around them and hunt
ing for more straw.
1t was probably the coldest and most
disagreeaDle seventh of May these par
ticular men have ever experienced. In
the morning the sun came out bright
enough, but the air was crisp, and soon
leaden clouds began to oyerspread the
sky. The wind freshened up from the
Northeast. and as the day wore on the
weather became more disagreeable. Ii
was cold and damD-a sort of mortal
chill that went through you, To the very
marrow of your bones.
AT 4 O'Clock it began to rain-a cold
drizzle that soon became stiff North
easter and beat pitilessly upon the men
standing guard or exposed on duty in
camp.
In the tents it was warm enough, but
on the camp grounds il was bitter and
uncomfortable in the extreme. Some OF
the men had thick uniforms to protect
them, others had overcoats, but the large
majority were reduced to the necessity OF
either converting their blankets into
shawls or sticking their hands deep into
their pockets and running up and down
the company streets to warm their chit
ly blood and set their reduced pulses to
beating normally.
But everything considered, the men
were in excellent spirits. They saw that
their company officers were suffering the
same discomforts; that they fought
against the same disagreeable weather
and ate the same food-and contentment
reigned throughout Camp Bryan Grimes.
