THE VANCE GUARDS VOLUNTEER.
Their Country and go Where
Duty Calls.

The Vance Guards, Co. c.. Third
Regiment, Capt. p. 7. Jones, have re-
| sponded to the call for troops and
signified their readiness to 90 where
| duty leads and their country directs.
All honor to Capt. Jones and his
| brave men. No one not in their po-
sition can fully realize the step they
take. But they do not stop to debate
the question, to weigh the con-
| sequences, to count the cost That
| is not the business of a soldier. And
knowing a soldiers duty they are
ready to obey the summons ''to arms
and do a soldiers duty.
Up to the present Capt Jones has
received no orders to report for duty.
Adjutant General Cowles wired him
Monday to know if his company
would volunteer. The answer was
prompt and emphatic. 1t was just
the reply that all who know the Vance
Guards pected-they would.
At a meeting held later every men,
Der to q man volunteered to 90 any
where on earth Company c. under its
present organization, goes. Eight
| new men were enlisted at the same
| time.
All honor to the brave boys. They
| show themselves worthy Of our high
est admiration and applause-worthy
| to wear the chaplets of heroes and
| patriots.
Capt. Jones was instructed to re-
crult his company to 81 men and a
bulletin to that effect was at once
posted. Several applications for en-
| listment have already been sent in
and it is expected that the full num-
Der desired-25-will be readily Sc
cured.
The State Guard will be mobilized
| at Raleigh. But just when the troops
will be ordered to assemble there is
not yet known. 1t was thought they
would be called out this week.
In the mean time the question of
who will command the brigade is be-
ing agitated with considerable inter-
est. There is strong sentiment in
favor of a North Carolina Brigadier for
North Carolina soldiers, as we'll as
the retention of the present field
officers. And unless there is assurance
that the State Guard as now composed
will not undergo complete reorgani
zation there may not be a disposition
to furnish North Carolina's quota of
troops from this source.
