Excellent Condition.

Major Macon was in the city yes
terday inspecting the stores for the
State Guard in the armory here.
A lot of new goods arrived
last Friday. When all of this is sent
out the Guard will be in the hest con
dition it has seen in long time.
But 1t would have to satisfy itself
anyhow, as the appropriation is about
all used up.
Twelve thousand dollars of the APP
preparation had been used up before
their last lot of goods was ordered
The requisition amounted to $4,000,
which leaves about 81 900 still to the
credit of the troops. acquisitions
have already been made for the re-
mainder, and. as | said before, when
this is received and sent out to the
various companies, they will be in first
rate condition.

to requisitions made by different COM
panies. OF this lot, there are $50
rifles. 600 knapsacks, $50 canteens, 600
caps. 600 cans. 400 OrdOtf belts, 500
gunslings, 5000 paper targets, 600
knives and forks, so revolvers, and 600
revolver cartridges. The total cost
of this shipment is about $1,000 which
| leaves $1,000 due the troops, and
the requisition covering which has al
ready been made out. This latter
| amount will be taken out in clothes.
These goods will be stored at the ar
| mory here and AS requisition is maze
by the different military companies
of the State, will be sent out. Some
of the companies are already com
pletely furnished, while others will
| need a complete outfit. a company
has been recently organized at Green
Vile and it will require a complete
| equipment.
/. New rifles are being sent out to the
companies also as fast as the old ones
are turned in. Forty guns are now
boxed and ready for shipment to Dur
ham for one of the companies there.
and will be sent as soon as the old
guns are sent in.
There will be no encampments this
wear. A lot of tents and tent poles
were recently sent to the Elezibeth com
pany for an encampment, but were
| received back here Wednesday, having
never been unpacked.
