In private letter to the editor OF

lev, one OF the Scotland Neck boys now
in camp at Jacksonville, Fla, says
some very complimentary things for
the Young Mems Christian Assocla-
ton. He says the Association furnish
es very large tent, and under 1t every
convenience for writing. All needed
stationery is found there, magazines,
newspapers and plenty of ice water.
He says: eff it were not for the
YIN, C. A. we would not have con-
venient place to write to our friends
and loved ones at home. The govern
ment does not look out for these
things.
1--WE have Bible Glass every day at
3 p. IN. Each night we have service
by one of the chaplains in camp or
some of the city pastors. The tent is
crowded every night, and l think two
hundred haye said in these meetings
that they will live closer to God In
the future.
The same work will be carried on
in Cuba if we ever 60.
sThe sanitary condition of the camp
is very good.
1--WE shall soon have twenty-five OF
thirty thousand soldiers here, as one
or two regiments come in every day.

Prof, Brewers Lecture.

Prot. C. E. Brewer, of Wake Forest
College, spoke before the baptist
Young Peoples Union here last Friday
night.
/ President w. A. Dunn introduced
Prof. Brewer as the school boy OF
few wears ago who was then student
IN Vine Hill academy, but now at the
head of the department OF Chemistry
in Wake Forest College.
Prot. Brewer referred to the time
some twenty years ago when he was
cone of the boys" about Scotland Neck
"a red-headed boy about tour feet
high and nearly as many feet around.
He was regarded by the boys, he said,
as a sort of deserter from circus.
Prof. Brewer made some remarks
about the pleasing improvements he
sees in Scotland Neck since the days
when be was school boy here
He noted sad changes as we'll as pleas
ing ones. Many whom he saw here
then are gone to their reward.
He re]oiced, he said, in the many
signs Of prosperity and happiness
amongst our people.

Of the equipments and conveniences OF
the college, of the teachers and their
nrenarat,or. of their experience and
success in the work, and drew the con-
c,usion that the college Is we'll able to
do work equal to any OF the colleges IN
1.-The land. He mentioned the hne
library. the convenient reading rooms
and the literary societies as the best II
the South.
J The speaker then enumerated some
things that Wake Forest cannot 90
He said the institution can not maK'

THE BOYS VOLUNTEER.
Seven Enlisted From Scotland Neck

Last week Mr.. G. C. Bunch, of Raj
eigh, First Sergeant OF Co K, formerly
the Governors Guards, OF the First
North Carolina Regiment, was here
looking for recruits for his regiment.
The following persons enlisted and
went away with Sergeant Bunch Fri
day morning:
Walter Gray, Elma Haskell, Albert
Bryan, Nathaniel Smith, r. s. Hall
Ollie Minshew, and Author Robinson.
They went to Raleigh, there to wait
simply to change trains and then pro-
coed to Jacksonville.
Free transportation was given them
by the Government. They will be
placed in the First North Carolina
Regiment in the Provisional Division,
Gen. Wade's Division, and will be brig
AIDED with the First Alabama and First
Texas, the only brigade in the volun-
teer service composed entirely OF South
ern troops.
The First Regiment, said Sergeant
Bunch, will be sent to Porto Rico to
maintain provisional government.
So, it seems that even though peace
is certainty these Scotland Neck boys
will not return home until they have
seen something of the West Indies.
They enlisted for two years unless
sooner discharged.
THE COMMONWEALTH joins the friends
of these new recruits from Scotland Necl
in wishing them success in every ]auda
BILE effort, safe return and that their
experience as soldiers may be worth
much to them In every way.
