the 1st and 10th volunteer regiments
and six companies of the Randolph
light artillery are encamped about two
miles northwest OF FL Caney at the base
of the mountains. The camp is appar-
entity perfectly healthy as to location
and has a good water supply. The
ground is well drained.
Malarial fever is prevalent. but II al
ways yields 10 quinlne treatment in the
course OF five or six days. The fact
that the immunes from the regiment
have had this fever as freely as the
other men shows that the illness Is
not yellow jack.
There has been no fatality from
fever thus far. but so long as the men
are exposed TO the hot sun during the
day. the increasing rains and the
heavy night dews. malaria will in
crease and our men grow worse. A

NEW BOARD ORGANIZES.
Shortly past noon, about 1915

other two members-Colonel Roger

Governor Russell gives much Of
fence by appointing A. d. Cowles TO
the captaincy of the Durham company
in the First North Carolina regiment.
1t was an arbitrary and unkind act
on his part. There was no good rea-
son why upon the resignation Of Cap
tain Niche the next in command
should not have been promoted. 1t
was unfair and unjust to that officer
and to the entire company. What is
Cowles to them or they to Cowles?
The Reidsville Weekly puts it force
fully and clearly in this wise:
"The patriotic young men who COM
pose the company were mustered into
the army under officers of their own
choosing and should have the privilege
of saying who shall lead them now,
and Governor R~ussell's action in foist-
ing an outsider upon them cannot be
too strongly condemned. Mr.. Cowles
held an official position in the Second
regiment, which was mustered out of
service, and previous to. that was ad-
jutant general of the state guard by
the grace Of Russell. He has had his
share of the honors and should not
want a place that rightfully belongs to
another. The only reason we can see
for his appointment is that he is Rus
sells pet and wants a job"
1t rightly includes that other fool
ish "job," the appointment of hungry
office seeking Ollie Dockery TO the
Raleigh company. Both bad.

1t Is to be desired and hoped that Just
as little legislation will be entered upon
by the coming general assembly as vii
meet the demands of the times and the
expectations of the intelligent and in
formed people. Too much law max
ing is not good for any people. Some
things are imperatively necessary to
be done, but, We fear, a great many
unwise and untimely bills will be in
troduced and consume time and, per-
haps, some of them might pass. Be
cautious and wise, and go home as
soon as possible for a recess, but do
not adjourn. This has been wisely
suggested by others. 1t will be health
full and Russell may not act so as to
require the reassembling of the legis-
lature.

yond, in the Dakotas and Montana,
there were a number of delays incident
to high winds, against which the trains
were not able to make usual Roadway.
The Wisconsin battleship party,
which is travelling in a special train to
San Francisco, was heard from yester-
day. It reached Billings in the fore
noon, but several hours late, and the
Information here was that it had q hard
time with the wind.
Extra freights on the Great Northern
were laid up for safety and other trains
are being held until the tracks may be
cleared Of snow.
The only train that arrived In this
city on time yesterday morning, was
the Burlington, which came from Chi
cago fifteen minutes late. The other
Chicago trains were between two and
three hours behind time. All reported
bad weather all along the line from the
Windy city.
The train on the st. Paul & Duluth,
which arrives from Taylor's Fails at
I:15 a. M, did not get here Until noon.
All the trains on that line were delayed
by snow and wind.
The railway officials all expressed the
belief that the worst of the storm had
been experienced ard that the trains
would now have clear tracks all the
way TO the coast and to, Chicago.

STORM KINGS RULE
Continued From First Page.

II IOm fa&es
through regularly up to nearly mid
night When a car became blockadad
al this stage of the storm, however, it
was all night with it, because the con-
ditions were getting worse much faster
than the company could combat the
storm. All effort to run regular cars
after midnight was abandoned. The
company had cars cut on every line all
night, however, trying to keep the
tracks clear, but it was a hopeless
task, for the snow FUCKERS in every
case Travelled but short distance be-
fore being stalled. Three big plows
were operated all night, but as fast as
the drifts were thrown aside the snow
piled up again as big as before. AT
o'clock yesterday morning not a car
wheel in the city was turning. The
rules of the company require the opera
tors to remain with disabled cars, con-
sequently many crews were prisoners
until we'll along into yesterday. In
most cases where cars We're blockaded
within the city proper, the passengers
took chances on buffeting the storm in
reaching their homes, rather than to
Tt main in the cars throughout the
night.
When daylight came and the storm
abated the company put every avail
able man to work, hiring shovelers
wherever possible and gradually sue
ceeded in getting cars through during
the day, until last evening the only
ticckaded lines were the Mississippi
ard South Wabasha, Como interurban,
Stryker avenue, Maria avenue and
Merriam Park extension. The service
on other lines was not according to
schedule, but cars were running so,
with some delay and discomfort, peo-
pie could get home.
