BOYS of North Carolina, and the mem
bers of the Second and Third Regl-
ments are all thinking of the coming
days by the seaside.
Raleigh's two military companies

Light Infantry, have been drilling
faithfully for the past week and Will

Sergeant r. c. Lehman and Private
Billy BoyIan, of the Oak City Guards,
and Corporal Weathers and Private
Perry, of the Raleigh Light Infantry,
left yesterday for the camp, where
they will put their companies quar-
tiers in order
1t is absolutely necessary that the
&C mpanieS carry Il full quota or at
least seventy-fiVe per cent. of their
members to camp, or the companies
may meet with disarmament. Each
year the officers have a great deal of
trouble in getting enough men to
make a full company and this is large
~ because some employers of mem
bers of the companies refuse to release
the men for encampment. Some say
that the time is too long and they can
rot spare their men, While others say
that if their men do go to the encamp-
ment that they will be discharged. 1t
is hoped that there will be little of
this at this encampment.
