The bill also repealed the revenue

stock, bills of sale, notes, bills of lad
ing and other legal documents. The

The result at Chicago means a leth-

FOR SERVICE
ON BORDER
ENTIRE NATIONAL GUARD OF THE
UNITED STATES CALLED OUT.
SIXTH COMPANY EXCEPTED
North CrrOlina Will Send One Brigade
of Infantry, Two Troops of Cav
airy. and Hospital Corps.

Virtually the entire national guard OF
the United States was ordered mas
tered into federal service by order Of
President Wilson Sunday night. IL
announcing the orders Secretary Bak-
er said the State forces would be en-
ployed only to guard he Mexican bCr-
der and that no additional troop move
ments into Mexico were contemplated
at this time.
War with Mexico depends, accord
ing to President Wilson. upon General
CaTanza's reception of a stern refusal
by the United States to heed has de-
mand for a recall of American troops.
Late Monday night Mexican govern
ment troops were reported to be
marching towards De Rio, a border
town about 100 miles up the Rio
Grande from Eagle Pass.
The order as issued does not apply
to OaSt artillery companies, such as
we have in Hendersonville, but applies
to infantry. cavalry, and hospital
corps, artillery, etc.
The North Carolina troops called
into. service include three regiments of
infantry, two troops of cavalry. one
field hospital and II ambulance COM
pany. They are all now modified at
their home stations where efforts are
being made to recruit to full war
strength. They will await further Or
ders from their commander in chief
before proceeding further.
The first NOrta Carolina regiment is
under the command of Col. J. T. Gard
ner OF Shelby. the second under COM
mand of Col. w. C. Rodman of Wash
ington, and Col. S. w. Minor of Dur
ham is commander of the third regi-
ment. General B. S. Register is the
brigade commander.
The Presidents order occasioned a
great deal Of excitement and Demon
STATIONS of patriotism in the towns
and cities where the companies have
their headquarters. In Durham Off
Gals of a hosiery mill posted a notice
stating that any employe Of the COM
pany who at the present time is a
member of the State militia and who
reports for military duty will be paid
by the company the difference be-
tween his wages as a workman and
his pay a. a soldier while in active
service.
The AsheVille Citizen says two Or
ders were received by the ~guardsmen
there. The first called the men out.
The second command was to recruit
to sixty-ive men. and then
to continue the recruiting until 142
men were on the rolls of each COM
pany. AS soon as the companies have
been brought up to the IS mark a re-
port to that effect will be sent to head
quarters and within four days of that
report the officers expect to receive
orders to entrain and go to Whining
ton. The men are being drilled daily
the armory and are required to
their uniform at all times.
