Paymaster Wright Says He Was
Well Treated by the Soldiers.
From the Brunswick Times
II wish you would do the soldiers at
Camp Gordon the justice, as we'll as my
self, to say that there is not a word of
truth in the fairy tale in regard to
Texas corporal having cursed and refus-
ed to accept his pay from me-" said Maj.
r. II. Wright, paymaster, last night.
"At the request of the captain Of the
Texas company 1 went to their tent be
fore paying off the superior officers as is
customary, and paid them because they
were getting ready to go away. I was
never treated more courteously in my life
After paying off the officers of the North
Carolina Regiment several of them discov-
cred that they had been overpaid and re-
turned me the money. 1 am glad to say
that there was no trouble of any kind
between myself and any of the men,"
Il saw and heard nothing of an i'm
proper nature between the paymaster and
the men," said Col. Burgwyn, when asked
about the report, land 1 wish you would
state that he could not have been more
obliging, and that my men treated Maj
Wright with perfect propriety. There
might have been remarks made on the
outside, but there was no such act of in
subordination committed by any of the
men as was charged in the report to which
you have called my attention"

their courts SO as to meet the reduction.

tween the city and county by which the
city was to buy the present court house
