1t has not yet been decided where the
Encampment will be held this year. 1t
will probably be at Wrightsville or
Morehead, whichever offers the greatest
inducements.
The Encampment will likely be held
during the month of August. Certainly
it will be after July LIST, for not till that
date will the State appropriation be
available.
The board of officers who have been
engaged in adjusting the quartcrmaster $
supply accounts between The United
States and North Carolina yesterday
completed their work.
Another car load of bananas to arrive
