CAMP AYCOCK.
The Encampment of the Second Regi-
ment Came to an End Yesterday.
The Companies Left on q Special
Train-The First Regiment VIII Go
into Camp Next Week.

Camp Aycock at Wrightsville is now
again, for the second time in its his
tory, nothing but a deserted village Of
tents. The Second Regiment which has
been in camp there tor the past ten
days, pulled up" yesterday bag and
baggage and cleared for home.
The camp breaking was conducted in
the same orderly, rapid that
has characterized the whole life of the
Second Regiment. The men were right
loath to leave Wrightsville. They have
had an en- enjoyable time and the out
ing afforded was both healthful and
beneficial. They will be missed on the
beach. where for the past two weeks
they have been much in evidence. They
have greatly added to the social gaiety
at Wrightsville and nave made many
friends.
Companies c and L were the first to
leave camp. They came up on the reg
ular train over the Wilmington Sea-
coast road at $50 a. m. Company G,
of Wilmington. marched to their armory
and were soon through with all their
duties and allowed to leave. Company
l., of Lumber Bridge, was transferred
to the regular A. and Y. train and left
at 9:O5 for their homes.
At Camp Aycock, assembly was
sounded at 10 o'clock, and the regiment
comprising the remaining companies,
was formed. Retreat vas sounded and
the flag lowered at 1915, thus ending
the encampment of the Second Regi-
ment. The men were then marched tC
the Wrightsville depot and each com
pany assigned to their cars on a special
train. The train came UP to Whining.
ton. where it remained for about ar
hour and left at Ills over the Allan
tic Coast Line bound north. In this
train were companies K. B, A, G AND
I. They all arrived at their respective
homes by 6 o'clock last evening.

ANOTHER ATLANTA EXCURSION
The Carpenters and Joiners' Assoc
citation Coming to Wrighrsvflie|
day The Excursionfsts Will Bel
Here Three Days.

An excursion under the auspices OF
the Carpenters and Joiners' Associa-
ton of Atlanta, Ga, will run an excur-
sion from Atlanta to Wrightsville
Beach next Friday, August End. A
special train will leave the Gate City
at $50 p. m, Friday and arrive at
Wrightsville Beach at S O'Clock Satur-
day morning. The train will be run
owe the Seaboard Air Line and will
have Pullman sleepers and magnificent
day coaches. The price of tickets for
the round trip will be $3.50, making 1t
an exceedingly cheap trip. The ex-
cursion train will leave the beach Au-
gust 5th on the return trip.
In a big advertisement of this excur-
sion in The Atlanta Constitution or
July 18th, the Hon. Hoke Smith pub
fishes a card saying what he thinks OF
Wrightsville Beach after having had
his family here with the Masons' and
Grocers' recent excursion. He says:
"Wrightsville is eight miles from
Wilmington. The hotel faces the ocean
and is about one hundred yards from
the surf. During my visit there it was
cool and delightful. The beach is long,
making it practicable to walk one hun-
dred feet without reaching water more
than four feet deep, and the surf was
magnificent. The boating is delightful;
it consists of sailing in the bay just
back of the hotel, or going from the in
let out into the ocean,. The quantities
of fine fish brought in by those who
tried it sustains the claim that the fish
ing vas excellent"

Is THIS TRUE.
A Correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer Says Wilmington People
Don't Appreciate wrightsvilIe Beach
and the State Guard Encampment.

The Wrightsville correspondent of
The Charlotte Observer under date of
July Both, says of Camp Aycock:
There are twelve companies of the
Second regiment in camp, or about 500
men. They are a gentlemanly set of
fellows when off duty, and they have
made many friends on the beach by
their courteous manner. In camp they
have the manly bearing of regulars,
there never being a time when they
were not in their places.
Many visitors are daily spectators at
the afternoon drills and parades, yet
there is not the Did time interest taken
in the state e~ncampment that was OBJ
served years ago, when all the regf-
ments went into camp at the same
time. There is a lack of enthusiasm on
the part Of the on-looker that used to
exist; especially is there a lack of in
terest by the Wilmington people, who
at one time took great interest in this
annual event of the state guard. In
fact, the Wilmington people seem 20
have relinquished interest in the beach
as a whole. 1t is the people from the
inland towns that are making the
beach a success this year. Wrights-
vile Beach would be a lonely place
We're it not for the outside world, yet 1t
is only eight miles from Wilmington
and it would seem hat the beach
would nightly be crowded with Will
mington people. 1t has been remarked
that if Mr.. E. d. Latta, of Charlotte,
and his splendid car line were here the
beach would not hold the people. IN
other words, il Wrightsville Beach
was within eight miles of Charlotte,
there would be a greater interest taken
in its attractions by her people and the
place would be made famous. Proba-
bly, the lack of patronage of this beach
by the Wilmington people is caused by
the poor train service. Only half the
trains ara run that should be on the
road THAI connects this place with Will
mlngton. 1t is an assured fact that
electric cars will be substituted next
season for the present train service.
Such an arrangement is said to have
been contaminated, and electric cars
will be hourly run from Wilmington to
the beach Such an arrangement will
be appreciated by every North CAROLYN
ian visiting Wrightsville Beach,"

"I saw a nice bed of mint back there.

mint julep, instead of a toddy."
"Awhat, sah?" said the planter.
"a mint julep. Haven't o ever

Vests Sarcasm

Senator George Graham Vests Hot
Springs interview has brought him IN
to prominence again. Frank G. Frayne
tells this anecdote or him:
I'm October, 1876, Senator Vest made
a political speech in the house at
Warrensburg one evening while in at
tendance upon a term of the Johnson
county circuit court. The court room
was packed almost to suffocation, and
Vest was in his happiest vein. In the
audience was an editor who disliked
Vest both personally and politically,
and during the speech he frequently
interrupted Vest with questions. To
the amazement of everybody, the
speaker treated his tormentor with
great courtesy and fo~rbearance, an
swering all of his questions promptly
and seriously and submitting to the
repeated Interruptions without betray-
ing the least Impotence or irritation.
After this had gone on for some time,
and people were wondering when
things would begin to happen with
that editor. he again interrupted the
speaker with a long and involved ques-
ton. Vest stood quietly looking at
his interlocutor until he had concluded
his question, when just at that mo-
ment and while the audience was per-
fectly quiet awaiting Vests answer a
little yellow, bench-legged flee came
jumping up the aisle Immediately in
front OIL the JuuSe Sldnu, "HiCh
Vest was standing. barking furiously
at him. AS quick as a flash Vest turn
ed and, pointing his finger at the dog,
said: One at a time, sir. You are out
of your turn. Wait till I get through
with the other one then I'll reply to
you
1.-THE scene that followed may be i'm
agined, but cannot be described. 1t is
unnecessary to say that he was not in
terrupted again during that speech"
Vests sarcasm is a terrible weapon,
which he uses without mercy upon his
antagonists and sometimes upon and
about his friends.
