at Camp Aycock. Since the Third reg
iment left here last Friday this almost
deserted village of tents has been very
dull, but all was changed today by the
arrival of the companies that COM
pose the Second regiment Of the North
Carolina state guard, which will be en-
camped here for the next ten days.
The first companies to arrive here
came about 2 o'clock. They were
Company E of Raleigh and Company
NJ Of Maxton who came in on the reg
ular Carolina Central train.
The Wilmington Light Infantry, with
the regimental band came to camp ON
the regular 2:30 train over the Seacoast
road.
Later, o ) o'clock, the rest of the
regiment came here on a special IL
coach train, from their various homes.
on this train were companies / OF
Edenton, A Of Tarboro, F of Hertford,
u OF G~reenville, K of Wilson, D OF
Goldsboro and H. of Clinton. AT the
depot here the companies were taken in
charge by Colonel Rodman and his staff
and were marched to camp, where they
were assigned to their quarters in
camp.
The men have already gotten every
thing in 1ine shape and they all now
are almost at home here.
Advance details have been here from
the various companies for the past two
or three days arranging things. The
most noticeable change is the removal
OF the officers quarters further over to
h south and they are now in a better
position h before.
The first line Of tents is occupied by
the Second regiment band, nineteen
men strong.

drills or parade this afternoon, but be-
ginning in the morning, the men will

Zens extends a cordial welcome to the
