NORFOLK PAPERS PRAISE US

Norfolk. Va, Aug. 16-Governor
Glenn had a novel experience, one
that was probably disappointing at
first but which warmed his heart later.
He passed the guards, then through
the camps of the first two North Caro-
lima regiments before he was recog-
nized. but when he approached the
headquarters Of the North Carolina
Naval Militia, where Captain Daniels
men have made all people proud OF
North Carolina, the saluting gun VOL
lied forth the first gun of the twenty
one that paid tribute to the Old North
states popular Governor. The scene
was thrilling.
Patriotism UppermOst.
Patriotism has been uppermost. Tar
Heels have shown their love of nome
and the blessed old State that gave
them birth. They have added glory
to the name. Those who nave feit
their heart up in the throat and the
water in the eyes just from hearing
good words about home are numbered
here by the thousands, and tonlgnt
they are streaming homeWard 10 ten
how fine this Jamestown EXPOSITION
is. how hospitable Virginia can be. how
good a time one can have here. and
above all else they have been remlnded
while the outside world mas Deen I'M
pressed with the greatness Of the ma
tons greatest State
Ovations to Guard.
The National Guard from North
Carolina has made the finest impress
sion. General Armfield, on his cash
ing charger, followed by nearly three
thousand Tar Heels with arms has re-
ceived ovatiOns.
Governor Glenn has been a figure
Of wide interest and Frank Winston,
one of those who receive jolly salu-
tations of admirers on the War-path
and streets. The naval militia Of the
State which came here almost at their
own expense and not under orders
have won glory for US and a naval
officer of world renown told me the
naval militia made his heart just as
happy as the regular Blue Jackets.
North Carolina's greatest day in time
of peace has come. The glory Of the
nations greatest commonwealth is
known; the patriotism, the love of
child for mother. has been demon
strated before the world and every
flag that flies the States emblems is
saluted by thousands Of true children
of the State.
Our own people have learned a great
lesson and have taught the world a
years OF glorious achievement on the
occasion Of Virginias celebration of
the three hundredth anniversary of the
settlement of jamestown.
The three regiments broke camp
this afternoon at three o'clock and
started home. They will all be home
for Sunday and there is not a man
who vii, not go home with a clean
record. The health Of the men has
been good and the encampment has
been a success. They were paid off
today, Th>>naval militia will leave at
) tomorrow morning.
Ihe Exposition crowd now Will find
what they want-a good time at a
great exposition
Norfolk has done herself proud and
the good Old North States week has
made resident Tar Heels proud of the
best land on earth.

He regrets that he must necessarily

Federal courts.

Quence. The contrast greatly impress
